"I am confiscating this," Alya said. She ripped the copy of the film the class had made for the Paris film festival out of Nino's hands. The young Spielberg started making noises of protest, but shut up at Alya's face. "I know you're really proud of it, but it has no plot at all!"

"But that's what's so cool about it. Plus it has the real Ladybug and Chat Noir in it!" Nino replied.

"Yeah, I guess it was cool the first time we saw it, but by the fifteenth time of you shoving it in our faces it still doesn't make any sense!"

"Well you just don't realize how artistically cool it is. I broke the fourth wall smoothly throughout and…"

"But it's so stupid. You made up your own script along the whole way without telling me! Rude."

Marinette stood behind Alya shaking her head. It had been a week since the group had shown their film to the mayor, and Nino still couldn't get the rejection out of his head. He had since then taken to arguing with Alya about the film. Marinette and Adrien were therefore thrown together a lot to giggle about their best friends. (Marinette is still not sure to this day how she was able to have a conversation with Adrien, but it happened.) They had even jokingly come up with a ship name for the two. Marinette was pulled out of her ponderings when Alya turned on her.

"What do you thing Mari?" Marinette just blankly looked at Alya with wide eyes, clearly saying she had not been listening.

"Uggh, well the movie would have been way better if we didn't have that one bathroom scene." Alya crossed her arms, and the argument ended.

"But can't you just give me back my movie. I promise I won't make you guys watch it again," Nino pleaded. Alya just shook her head.

"Nope. And just in case you think you can steal it back from me, I'm giving it to Marinette to keep." Alya handed over the disc to Marinette. Mari looked at Alya, bewildered.

"NO! Please Don't! You know Marinette drops everything!" Nino cried, placing his hands on either side of his face.

Marinette's chin dropped. "I do not!" Marinette determinedly shoved the disk into her back and stomped off.

"Now you'll never get it back," Alya whispered playfully into Nino's ear. Nino dramatically fell to his knees and yelled curses to the sky. Alya just snickered.

It was night time and Marinette sat at her desk, finishing some designs. She sighed and scooted away from her desk.

"Are you alright, Marinette?" Tikki asked, munching on a cookie.

"Oh! Yeah. I just kind of feel like watching a movie while I think about my designs, but I can't decide which one to watch. I'm tired of all the movies I already have, but I don't have any new ones to watch." Marinette slumped I her spinney chair and closed her eyes, thinking.

"How about this one?" asked a deep voice from the other side of the room.

Marinette jumped up and grabbed the nearest weapon; her stapler. "Stand back!" She yelled as she spun around to face her attacker with her pink, flowery stapler. There stood Chat, looking a little petrified, with both of his hands in the air.

"Hey, it's just me, Princess. No need to get violent with me. May I remind you that I saved your life once!" Chat's voice changed many octaves as he tried to calm Marinette down.

"If I remember correctly, I believe I did the saving, while you tried to break the box open by hitting it weakly."

Chat made a face at 'weakly', but then he just nodded his head in surrender. "Touché."

Marinette lowered the stapler onto her desk and crossed her arms. "So what do I owe the pleasure?"

Chat Noir lowered his hands cautiously and shrugged. "I just felt like visiting my favorite civilian."

"Uh-huh." Marinette sounded unconvinced.

"Honest." Chat lifted up his hands again in surrender. "Now you were saying you wanted to watch a movie, right? Well how about this one." Chat held up the disk that contained the movie that Nino treasured like a baby. "On the package it says that it's called The Horrificator? Sounds interesting."

Marinette nodded. "Yeah, it's the film one of my friends, Nino, made when an akuma came to our school, called the Horrificator, attacked. If I remember correctly, you and Ladybug were in the majority of the film."

"Really? Do you mind watching it? I'd like to see it from a different angle." Chat smiled, hopefully.

Marinette sat down in her chair that was in front of her computer and spun it around to face Chat. "Whoever said you would be watching any movie with me? Besides, I've already seen way too much of the movie. I do NOT need to see it again." Chat's face fell, but a playful look got into his eye. Marinette eyed him wearily. As Ladybug she had seen this look in his eye many times, and often before he did something dastardly. Chat got down before her and looked up at her with wide, kitty eyes. "NO! N. O, Kitty. I'm not going…" Marinette stopped as Chat started to rub his head against her knee, purring. Marinette's chest jumped in surprise and a tingling feeling spread across her skin, creating goosebumps.

Chat looked exactly like a cat, or a kitten, as he rubbed his cheek against her knee, giving her a cute look every once in a while.

"Ughh, fine! I'll watch it with you, just get off," Marinette declared in surrender. Marinette grabbed the DVD quickly, trying to find something to do while her face returned to its natural color, and popped it into her computer as Chat pulled up a chair beside her. The film icon appeared and started the movie. Mari grabbed a blanket from her bed and offered half of it to Chat. He took it gratefully and pulled his chair closer to hers so it was easier to share the blanket.

The movie opened up to a freeze frame of all of their classmates screaming as the Horrificator creeped up behind them. Nino's voice came in to commentate, saying: "This is the day where everyone died. All by the hands of that monster back there. But let me back up. Like all other horror films, the day started out just like normal." The current image faded and in came the scene of Adrien and Mylene talking. Mylene was able to get through her lines, but as she stood up, she screamed in fright. They could hear Nino yell cut and the whole scene started again, and again. Eventually the camera panned out and Nino's voice told the audience the premise of the story. He talked about how a group of students had gotten together to make a movie, but they were having enormous amounts of problems, resulting in their leading lady walking out on them.

The scene finally changed, but instead of Mylene as Agent Smith, it was Chloe. She spok a few made up lines then leaned towards Adrien to kiss him, but he quickly tried to lean out of the way. The film stopped again and Chloe was then replaced by Marinette. Marinette, or rather Agent Smith, tentatively said her lines then carefully leaned towards Adrien. The boy reciprocated the actions, but once again the kiss was stopped.

"That boy is one lucky guy" Chat commented. "In that scene he almost kissed three girls, or could have."

"Yeah, he's dreamy." As soon as Adrien had appeared on the screen, Marinette had melted into a pile of silly putty. Chat's attention was pulled away from the screen as he looked incredulously at Marinette. Although, his attention was brought back to the screen as loud shouts were made. The akuma had claimed its victim.

The movie progressed, as well as the evening. The cold night air started to creep through Marinette's open window and the two friends unconsciously huddled closer under the blanket. The pair giggled at all the right moments in the movie, and by the tenth break in the fourth wall, Chat was feeling like hitting Nino over the head the next day with the DVD. The bathroom scene that Alya had mentioned was indeed very terrible. It consisted of Nino and Chloe trying to be smart asses and annoying the heck out of the Horrificator. For some odd reason, Adrien had never gotten a chance to watch the film with his best friend, and in a very weird way, he was happy that he was finally seeing it. Even though it was so terrible, it was funny, and Chat enjoyed it immensely.

At some point while watching the movie Marinette had laid her head down on Chat's shoulder; neither of them had noticed. And by the time the credits rolled, both of them had dozed off on each other.

Chat was woken by the lack of sound coming from the computer, and he groggily opened his eyes and looked at his surroundings. Where am I? Chat looked down at Marinette's sleeping head and the memories streamed back. Chat petted Marinette's head in a dream-like state but when his ring beeped, Chat reluctantly let go of Marinette and tried to get up… and failed.

Marinette instinctively held on to Chat's neck and she nuzzled into his neck. Shocked by her reaction, Chat froze, but tentatively tried to pry her hands off of his neck. They wouldn't budge. Chat Noir sighed, realizing what he would have to do if he didn't want to wake her up. Chat wound his arms under Marinette's knees and around her back. He picked her up along with the pink, fuzzy blanket and carried her carefully up the ladder to her bed. Chat placed her down onto the mattress and carefully unwound her arms from around his neck. She only protested a little, but she soon curled up around a pillow on her bed.

Chat smiled tenderly at the sleeping princess, and he brushed away the hair that had fallen in her face. "Goodnight, Princess." He started to make his way down the ladder when he heard Marinette whimper.

"Kitty?" Marinette blearily sat up. She looked completely disoriented, but she knew what she was looking for and she grabbed Chat's leather covered hand that was still on one of the rungs of the ladder. Marinette squished her cheek up against the hand as she closed her eyes again.

"Princess, I need my hand back." Chat chuckled as she tried to turn over with his hand still clutched to her cheek.

"No. It's mine now." Marinette said childishly. Chat poked her side playfully.

"I know you're awake. Come on, give Kitty his hand back." Marinette reluctantly let go. She pouted as she watched Chat walk farther away from her. "I'm sorry, but I need to go, Princess. I only have a few minutes." Chat blew her a dramatic kiss. "I'll see you around." With that, Chat bounced out of the window.

Marinette sighed. "Kitty, Kitty, Kitty. What am I going to do with you?"

Hello Readers! Here is another longish chapter that was so fun to write. I can't believe I wrote some Marichat trash to add to the fandom, but here it is. I realized while writing this chapter that Marinette and Chat have only met once before (officially in the show), but their friendship feeling just felt so right, so I continued with it. The little fun argument at the beginning was also really fun to write as well because I can't tell you how many times I have had those types of conversations with my friends where we talk about the stupidest movies (that are of course classics), and it was nice to share them. Hope you guys are having a good day so far. The next chapter will be about the episode Darkblade, and I will publish it tomorrow. Please comment, favorite, or follow if you wish. TTFN!
