More than a Marichat tale

~Dress fiansco~

'Yeah. Please don't judge me for it.'
'Never!', he looks over at the clock, 'Well it's getting late, I suppose I should probably get going" he stood up.
"Yeah" Marinette stood up as well.
"Good night, princess" he lightly pressed his lips against her forehead.

The next morning
'Try using your lucky charm m'lady' Chat suggested.

LadyBug threw her yo-yo into the air. 'Lucky charm!'
'A pair of scissors, what am I supposed to do with this'

She looked around the area, looking for clues.
'I have plan. You have to let him capture you'
'I trust you m'lady' he bowed.

'Miraculous ladybug!'

Mrs Bustier was taking attendance before Marinette had managed to get to school.

'Max?'
'Here.'
'Marinette?', the teacher looked up, 'has anyone heard from Marinette?'

'I think she overslept' Alya said.

'Rose?'
'Here.'
'Adrien?' With no reply, Mrs Bustier looks up, 'It's not like him to be late. Nino do you know anything?'

'I haven't heard anything from Adrien' he replied.

Mrs Bustier sighed.

Just then, the two soulmates burst through the doors.

'Where were you two?'

'I-I overslept'
'I had a last minute photo shoot'
They took their seats.
'Detention tomorrow morning.'

In the lunch break

'Adrien have you asked anyone to the dance yet?' Ayla asked.
'Uh no, I'm not sure I'm even going. I mean I don't know if my dad will let me.'
'Oh what a bummer! Nino, have you?' Ayla turns to look at him beside her.
'Oh! Right uh- Ayla can I talk to you momentarily?' He stands up.
'Yes, you may.'
They walk around a corner.

'Um, what's Nino doing?' Marinette asked.
Adrien smirked, 'you'll see'

Adrien your Catnoir is showing.

The two came back in blushing.

'He asked me to the dance!'
'Congrats!' Marinette hugged her best friend.

Alya hugged back and then pulled away. 'So now I have a date... But what about you Marinette?'
'I think I know someone who can take me.'
'Oo who's this?'
'I'm not going to say before I've even asked him.'
'Damn girl, oky. Do you guys wanna walk to the park after school?' Alya asked everyone.

They all agreed.

Later at the park

Chloe saw them and came up to them.

"Hey losers, apart from you Adrikins. I'm waiting for you to take me to the dance"
"I can't"

'And why's that? huh' Chloe put her hands on her hips.
'I probably won't be allowed to go.'

Chloe screamed so loud, you'd think the whole of Paris heard it.
'WHAT?' she shrieked.

Everyone winced.

Marinette stepped in between the two. 'You heard him. Now leave us alone.'

'No way' Chloe scoffed, 'there's no way you'd rather take Dupain-Cheng here right'

'No- that's not-' Marinette stuttered.
'I already said I'm not going' Adrien interrupted, 'Though if I were. I'd never take you.'

Bout 40 minutes later Marinette returned to her house

Her Kitty was there waiting for her.

'Kitty? Didn't expect a visit from you tonight' she said as she climbed into her bedroom.

'Lovely to see you too, Princess'
'Of course I am always happy to see you' Marinette hugged him.

'Well I should probably do some work on the dress. As you know, I had to rush off to deal with the Akuma yesterday so I didn't have much time on it'.

Marinette walked over to her sewing machine. She gasped,
looked at CatNoir and gave him a frustrated stare.

'Did you take my dress?' she accused.

He put his hands up defensively, 'I didn't, princess'.
Marinette stomped towards him, 'Catnoir, you give me back my dress!' She points an accusatory finger at him.
He backs up, 'I swear, I didn't take it.'

'Where could it be?! I wouldn't of moved it. Mm, maybe mama moved it. i'll go ask her, be right back!' she rushed downstairs.

Chat's eyes wondered around her bedroom. His eyes stopped on the empty pinboard where pictures of his civilian form once hung.

Marinette came up back to her room.

'She said that she hasn't been in my room today. Oh Kitty, I don't know what to do!'
'Um, we'll figure this out' He goes over and hugs her.
She rests her head of his shoulder.
