Marinette walked into Health Class followed by Adrien. Marinette stopped, wrinkling her nose at the skeleton. "Ugh, we need to do something about this skeleton," she said, gesturing to it. "Its just so...so naked!" "Isn't that the point, to see the inside?" Adrien asked, innocently. Marinette gave him a look. "Your a model, I'm a designer. If Teacher says we can decorate it for Halloween, I'll be at my sewing desk faster then you can say Boo!" "Whatever you say, Bugaboo!" "Adrien…." Marinette warned, just as the bell rang.
To Marinette's delight, her teacher said yes, and she and Adrien got right to work right after school. "What should we dress him as?" Marinette tapped her pencil against her desk. "I wonder what he'd like to do if he were real. No," she answered, before Adrien could open his mouth. "You go looking for catnip, because you act like a cat. Maybe the skeleton likes to dance." "Hey, there's a idea," Adrien told her. "Let's dress him up in a fancy suit and hat. Just no pigeon feathers okay?" "No feathers. Okay….so what?….Adrien, what are you doing?"
"Doing my best impression of skeleton moves! This one's the Twist, and here's the Jerk! Come on, M'lady, let's dance!"
Marinette squealed happily as Adrien pulled her to her feet. With their close partnership, it was like they could read each others minds, almost perfectly synced. That is, until Marinette got her feet tangled up, and she and Adrien thudded to the floor.
Thinking quickly, Adrien made sure he took the brunt of the fall. "Thanks, Kitty. That would have been a nasty bruise." "Well, its not like you can lick your wounds. Uh-oh." "You...you…" Marinette spluttered, and Adrien smiled, causing her to turn a even deeper shade of red. "Ah, there's your adorable little pout!" He booped her nose.
They settled down, working as a team. Though it took a few days, when they worked together, nothing could stop the dynamic duo.
"We made him dress up for a fancy club," Marinette explained to her teacher and their classmates. "Hey, does he want to go trick-or-treating?" Nino asked. The class laughed, and Marinette and Adrien bumped fists.
The skeleton was no longer naked, but it would take awhile for them not to think of him as an another person!
