Previously:
"You'll be safe here, Princess." Chat said as he grabbed her hand kissing the back of her hand. "And maybe one day meet again." He said with a wink as Marinette pulled her hand away. Before she could even respond, he was already gone. She was left there in silence and shocked at the events of her day. She never thought that any of her days would end up like the one today.
"I still can't believe it!" Alya kept on saying as she and Marinette were making their way to school. "How you, out of instinct, went after him! I bet you were even close to catching him than any of the other officers since he has appeared! Not only that, but you also fell off the rooftop! What were you thinking?! Are you insane?! Oh! But that Chat Noir came to your rescue! He definitely isn't your normal thief! I mean, he's like one of those Magical thieves from the mangas, I'm sure that might be the case! But you were lucky he did save you! Or else you could have been long gone, girl!" Alya finished as they arrived at the entrance of their school and Alya giving Marinette a tight hug.
"I know, Alya, you told me this last night," Marinette said with a small smile moving away from the hug while Alya gave her a conflicting look between happiness and anger. "Also, are you proud or angry?" was all Marinette could ask her best friend, seeing how she kept on switching between those emotions. "And really, I don't really know what happened, all I know is that I couldn't let a thief get away. Next thing I know, I'm falling off the roof due to my clumsiness and soon in Chat's arms." Marinette said as Alya place an arm around her.
"So then?!" She shouted slightly; shaking Marinette.
"So..?" Marinette asked
"Were you able to identify him?!"
"uh... No." Marinette confessed as they entered the class and took their seats. It didn't take long for her classmates to surround her and bombard her with questions about the incident with Chat Noir. Marinette only sunk into her seat trying to avoid the question thrown at her. To her luck, she was saved by the teacher who had entered the room and began to the class, warning her students of getting detention if they weren't in their seats. The day went by the same with Marinette being questioned about her encounter with the infamous Chat Noir. Upon the arrival of her final class, Marinette gave out a heavy sigh, laying her head on her desk.
"Sighing like that on your favorite class?" Alya asked; poking her only to receive a groan from her.
"Dude, why is she like that?" Nino asked and Alya glanced at Marinette before looking at Nino.
"Since last night. It was her encounter with trying to catch Chat Noir and how she was saved by him. Everyone has been asking her about it all day." She said.
"It was just one encounter!" Marinette yelled into her bag as it muffled part of her voice.
"But was he as cool as they say he is?" She heard and quickly looked up.
"A-Adrien?" She asked; surprised. He smiled and gave a small wave."O-oh um w-well..." She started as her mind suddenly went blank; forgetting how to continue a conversation.
"Of course he was! But you should have seen how cooler Marinette was chasing after him! She was really close to capturing him!" Alya spoke up; wrapping her arm around Marinette who gave out a shy smile.
"B-but he ended up escaping.." She mumbled.
"But he also saved you from falling off the building! He definitely isn't your common steal and run type of thief!" Alya said.
"I'm sure he could have just done it on instinct," Marinette said.
"But at least he saved you, right? At least we know he won't allow any harm to innocent people during his encounters." Adrien said and Alya agreed.
"Which is why Marinette!" Alya began as she cleared her throat and stood up then looking at Marinette. "We shall go to Chat's next heist!" She said; showing Marinette her phone.
"Wait Alya-" Marinette began before Alya pointed at her.
"And you will be our bait!"
"Wait, what?! Alya, are you insane?!" Marinette said; catching the attention of her classmates as she stood up as well.
"Marinette, you know I would do anything in order to get a scoop on Chat Noir."
"You mean using your own friend as bait?!" Marinette asked; shocked. "Were you not scolding me this morning for almost dying?!" Alya then laughed; hugging her friend.
"I'm kidding, I'm kidding!" She said before moving back from their hug. "We're still going to Chat's next heist though." She said with a grin and Marinette gave out a sigh but still smiled at her friend.
"Alright," She said. Although their moment was interrupted by the sound of someone clearing their throat.
"Excuse me, ladies." They heard and they turned to see their teacher there; her hands on her hips and glaring at them. "I am sorry for interrupting your conversation, but the class has already started. If you two do not mind joining us, as well as remaining quiet. Or should we allow this to extend towards detention?" She asked.
"N-No ma'am," Both girls said and quickly sat down earning a few giggles and chuckles from their classmates.
"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Marinette asked Alya as they exited out of their final class.
"Of course trust me, girl!" Alya replied, "you'll see we'll definitely catch him this time!" Alya said as she grabbed Marinette's hand quickly; walking out of the school to work on a plan.
"Do you think they'll be able to catch him?" Nino asked as he walked next to Adrien who had watched the two girls leave the school.
"Well, Chat Noir isn't your average thief, remember?" He said and Nino nodded.
"Should we help the girls?" He asked and Adrien turned to face him. Once he couldn't see the girls, he lightly punched his arm. Nino only laughed as they both exited out the school.
"Alright, alright I know," Nino said placing his hand up in surrender as they walked up to the car that picked up Adrien. Both entered the car and stayed silent until they reached Adrien's home and into his room. "Now then," Nino started as he took out some papers from his book bag and Adrien went to turn on his computer before going to lay on his bed. Nino, sitting down on the chair in front of the computer, "alright dude, so this is what you're going to be looking for.." Nino said as he showed Adrien one of the papers with a drawing on it. "According to my research, it's going to be displayed tonight at an auction. And as you can already guess, it is being sold for lots of money. Not to mention the person in charge went through lots of trouble to steal the painting." Nino said and Adrien sat up on his bed taking the papers from Nino. He scanned through the pages.
"You better give me camembert before we go out," a voice said, causing Adrien to chuckle as he felt something laying on his shoulder.
"Can't you eat anything else aside from smelly cheese, Plagg?" Nino asked.
"Hey! That's the price to pay for transforming!" Plagg argued as Adrien gave him a piece of camembert.
"Dude, remind me again how we ended up in this situation?" Nino asked.
"You had to stick your nose where it didn't belong!" Plagg said before turning to Adrien. "And you were supposed to keep this a secret!"
"C'mon Plagg, it's only Nino that found out. No one else has and with Nino, he can help out and be a lookout."
"Look, kid just don't blow your cover more than what you've already had," Plagg said as he glared at Adrien before finishing his camembert.
"Small but threatening," Nino noted and Adrien nodded before looking back at the paper.
"Well, based on Alya's earlier reaction, you already took care of the note, right?" Adrien said; turning to Plagg who was already asking for another piece of camembert.
"I already searched up most of the building's structure and possible entrances and exits you can take," Nino said; motioning to the computer screen.
"Are you sure you're working on being a DJ later on?" Adrien asked with an eyebrow raised. Only to hear Nino laugh. Adrien only smiled. "Well," Adrien starting placing his hand on the chair Nino was sitting on; looking at the building, the painting and person on the computer screen.
"It's time to let the cat out of the bag tonight."
