-Congrats man! Who would say you had it in you
-Wait? You did not think I could win?
-Man of course I did!
Dark cupid approached their table and said
-Okay bubbler, here it what I owned you
He said giving him 20 dollars
-Wait, you made a bet?
-Hey man, c´mon, on my defense, I voted for you, and besides…..uhm….I wanted to buy you a drink?
-Yeah right mate
Adrien said laughing and taking the money, and ordering two drinks, he turned to Nino and gave him a mix of fruit punch and energy drink, Adrien looked at the barista and said
-Is this all there is?
He nodded and Adrien sighed and said
-Okay, one more please
-You don't see too sure of this dude
Nino said looking at Adrien with a bit of concern
-I know it's not your style to be on a nightclub like this
He said taking a swig of his drink
-What does that mean?
-I mean, a rich kid, on an underground dance club, to be honest anyone else would think that you would be on a strip club wasting away your money
-Seriously? Do I seem that desperate for attention?
-I mean man, you could be the next Oliver Queen, wasting your many, sleeping with anyone and your job line has some of the hottest girls, im kind of impressed that you have not slept with any of the models that you work with
Adrien sighed and took a swig, then said
-Well this tastes better than it looks, and second
He kicked Nino and said
-I mean, I know I can do that but still, why would I? You are my best friend, im pretty sure you are aware of all of the rumors and gossip that goes around just because of the job
Nino nods while rubbing his knee
-I don't like it, I consider myself lucky that I even have you as a friend, and have stuck with me for so long and did not ask for hook ups or anything like that
Nino smiled and said to Adrien
-Well, when we met I honestly thought you would be like those tv spoiled brats that get everything they want, but after you told me about your mom, well I can't say I was not surprised.
Adrien smiled and said raising his cup
-To us?
-And whatever future stupidities we are going to make
They did a toast and finished their drinks
MEANWHILE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CLUB
-Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo….Ladybug huh, when are you giung to be as confident as that on class?
-ALYA!
-Calm down just joking, but I gotta say, that was quite the performance, didn't knew you liked break dance
-What do you mean? You have seen me dance before
-Yeah, but not break dancing, or at least not like what you just did on stage
Marinette sighed and said
-I mean, is not that I do not like the genre, they do asked us to show of various types of styles of dancing when we tried out for the academy remember?
-Oh yeah. I did had to learn the cosack dance, I still feel the soreness on my legs
-I never really had a reason to do breakdance outside of my house, so guess that is why no one knew
-Well considering the fact that is the first time that I have seen you do it, I think you did pretty well
-Thanks Alya
The lights on the room started to dim, and the reflector lights all pointed on one direction, there the owners of the club where standing, Tikki grabbed the mic and said
-Hello again everyone, now we will proceed to annunciate the dancers that made it to the second round of this week´s tournament
The crowd grew silent as the results came in
-Horrificator, Gamer, Princess fragrance, Time braker, Lady Bug, and Chat Noir. These are the dancers for next weeks tournament bracket, now everyone just relax and enjoy the rest of the night, because is still young.
The crowd cheered and the music started playing, this time it was more energetic, and the dance floor seemed even more lively than before
-Dude, is this like, the law here?
-What, the club just getting better and better the later it gets, in that case, yup, pretty much the norm here
-I never want to leave
-Welcome to the club dude
MEANWHILE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CLUB
-You just don't stop impressing huh, first you break dance like a boss, and then you advance on a tournament that you just entered, what else now, you are going to tell me that you are a super hero on your free time?
-Pfft I wish, but I would not use a skin tight suit, it would feel as is if I were using a really weird pajama
Marinette got a smirk from Alya, then turned to the dance floor and said
-Seems like fun, maybe I should go….but also I don't know if
Before she could finish her sentence Alya was dragging Marinette to the dance floor already, Marinette cracked a smile and started to bounce on the dance floor with Alya, the crowd was energetic, and the music gave Marinette an electrifying sensation through her body, she kept dancing and moving
Inside Marinette's head
-Guess this is how teen´s and some adults spend their nights huh, gotta say, I would rather be here doing this than wasting my time with pot and alcohol, this is so free and relaxing
Bump!
-Oh im so sorry!
-Don't be its my fau…Ladybug? Oh hey!
-Hey Chat! I saw you were selected as one of the dancers for next´s week tournament
-Hey, im not the only one, guess it was the lucky night for us the rookies huh
-I don't think that I could call you a rookie, those where some pretty great moves-Well, I do have my moments, but you, YOU were amazing out there
-HEY YOU TWO!
Said Alya
-Are you two lovebirds done with the chit chat?
Marinette looked stunned as well as Adrien did, both taking a step back
-I uhm
-Nono, its not a problem, I don't want to upset your…
-Friend, what where you going to say?
-Babysitter
-Pfft, it would be the other way around, speaking of that, see you around…
-Chat, Chat Noir, guess you aint good with names huh
-Not if they are nicknames, see you later chat
-Later Ladybug
He sid waving a hand to her, as Marinette made her way through the club to where Alya was
-So, you going to tell me who your new boyfriend is?
-In your dreams Alya, and he´s just a friend
-Mhmmmm
Said Alya with a smug look on her face getting a sigh from Marinette
-Anyway its getting a bit late, maybe we should go back home
-Yeah, that sounds good
They both started to head to the door, when Marinette felt a little bump
-Sorry
-Oh no problem….Tikki?
-My bad, you are Ladybug right? Sorry I was heading to see my husband, kinda on a rush
-Oh no problem m´am
As soon as she had come Tikki left, and Marinette and Alya left the club
-Dude I think its getting a little late don't you think?
-Yeah, even for me, and I basically live in this place, think I can crash on your couch tonight?
-Sure, no problem, I owe you that for showing me this place
As Nino and Adrien where leaving Adrien felt a bump on his back
-Sorry
-No kid, its my fault, I should watch where I'm going
No problem…Mr Plagg?
-Yeah, my bad kid, I'm looking for my wife, kinda in a rush you know
-No problem, but please be more careful
Plagg nodded and left with a smirk
-Is he always this clumsy Nino?
-Never, I have seen him balance on the balcony and did not even make a sweat
-Maybe something he drank?
Nino shrugged
-Anyway let's go home
-Did you give him the note honey?
-Easy as cake, what about you babe?
-Yup, the girl seemed nice
-You sure is what we need?
-Plagg, when have I been wrong?
-First of all you married me
He got a laugh from Tikki while he smiled
-And you are my best mistake, now let's hope they don't accidentally drop them on their way home.
