Trouble Arrives

Marinette was awaiting customers in her family's bakery as Tikki was in Marinette's room talking to Trixx and Sass. She took orders and helped her parents with the cooking.

Sabine: "Take these plates to table 3 please." As she gave the plate with croissants and cupcakes on it.

Marinette: "I will!" She took the plate from her mother.

Tom was in the back cleaning up.

Marinette gave the people their food. More people came and she look up to see her best friends. It was Alya and Nino.

Marinette: "Hey guys! I'm not allowed to talk to you right now."

Alya: "Don't worry, girl. We made a pick up. But me and Nino gots some questions for you real quick."

Marinette: "Uhm sure!"

Alya: "I feel like you aren't into Adrien. Is there something on your mind lately?"

Marinette: "I'm questioning myself on that too. I don't know. Why? Have I not been good to you guys! I'm sorry if I've haven't! I've been so stressed lately with helping with the bakery, hanging with you all and being Ladybuhhhh I MEAN lady-like!"

Tom had a to go box with Nino's full name on it and gave it to him. Nino paid 20 dollars to Tom.

Alya: "It's all good, Mari. But you know you can talk to us if you need to, right?"

Marinette: "Of course!" She smiled through the pain.

~But that's the thing, I can't.~ Marinette

Alya: "Bye girl!"

Alya and Nino left.

Tom: "Marinette, would you like to come in the back real quick?"

Marinette: "Sure."

Marinette followed behind her father. Her mother finished sweeping up the kitchen floor.

Sabine: "Marinette, have you been stressed lately?"

Marinette: "I- what?!"

~Why is everyone questioning now?!" Marinette

Sabine: "I've heard from your therapist. You've haven't gone to her since couple months ago. Is everything alright?"

Marinette really wanted to tell her parents the truth. Being Ladybug was cool, but she couldn't even tell her own parents her secret identity.

Marinette: "I'm fine! Really! Thanks for your concern. I got home homework to attend to." She gave her apron to her Tom and ran upstairs to her room, crying.

She flipped open her bedroom door and closed it. She flopped on her couch and cried her eyes out.

Tikki: "Marinette!" She floated over to hrr.

Marinette: "I'm trying, Tikki. I'm really am." She cried, sobbing.

Tikki: "I know, Marinette. But remember, you're having a break from it! Just wait until you and Cat Noir do your patrol tonight and you're break starts!"

Marinette sat up to Tikki, Sass and Trixx hugging her with their small arms.

Marinette: "Thanks guys." She wiped her tears away.

Tikki, Sass, and Trixx: "No problem."
