Running back

Getting ready for the dance

"No Tigeresse! Your other left!", Traquemoiselle yelled. They were trying to set up the poles they had gotten from Sabrina's dad but failing miserably.

Juleka was struggling to hold the pole up while Sabrina was trying to instruct her on where to put it.

Luka had arrived with the instruments upon Alya's request about an hour ago and was trying to help his sister but at some point had sat down in the grass next to Kagami who was violently texting Alya.

Something about needing a expert opinion on the tarp color or something. Sabrina had had to leave a few times to add the next layer on her jello dessert and that was starting to get on Kagami's nerves.

Mylene had just showed up with her over abundance of beads only to discover that she had no where to put them, which ended with her whole box of pink beads being spilled on the ground which Luka and Mylene were now trying to pick up.

Kagami had sent Ivan to get a few rentable fold out tables for the food and drinks and Mylene's beads along with what she heard from Kim was something about glow sticks.

Not to mention Nath and Marc's comics. Kagami didn't know how she became the planner of this whole thing but it was stressing her out.

Then Kim arrived with an awkward amount of balloons and glow sticks. What the heck was she supposed to do with all this stuff without tables?!

But her struggles didn't last long when Ivan can back with four white rectangular tables that you'd see at a family reunion.

So when Max and Marinette who had now completed her secret mission with Adrien, who was now there to.

They were practically ordered to plant a path of blue glow sticks while anyone else who was available were blowing up balloons to put glow sticks inside.

I don't know why but Kim told us to do we'd can't argue with that logic at the moment, cuz everything Kim says is brilliant.

Then Chloe arrived after Sabrina and Juleka had the poles up, then Space bug and Astro cat set up the tarp. Then Alya showed up with wireless clear Christmas lights to hang.

The place was really looking put together after they had scattered the balloons around. The place looked like a glowing wonderland.

The glow sticks gave a great contrast to the white twinkly lights, giving an interesting counterbalance to the grass.

Maybe glow sticks weren't that bad of an idea. It was going to be perfect for Alix. "Alright everyone! Get out of here and make yourselves look presentable!", I exclaimed shooing everyone away.

Only me, Luka and Kim stayed. Luka had to finish setting up the 'stage' and I was going to help while Kim was setting up his sandwich stuff.

He laid out the meat, cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, onions, mushrooms, bread, and several different condiments.

Then he grabbed his 2 dozen packs of glow sticks and opened them up laying them out on one of the tables.

Then he grabbed his obsessive amount of boxed candy and chocolates and set them up. Then came the chips, about 12 bags, all different flavors.

This place was really coming together. "Babe you should go home and get ready", Luka said as he struggled to find a spot on the ground to set my guitar stand that wasn't uneven.

I'd learned how to play the guitar since I started dating Luka and I didn't understand how I hadn't learned how to play it earlier.

"Nah I'll go get ready when Alya gets here and I'm confident this place will be fine in her hands, I am not letting all my good work go to waste", I argued.

He looked up after finally finding a spot. "Go, I'll watch things here, I know you want to look just as amazing as me", Luka joked.

He had showed up in his suit and tie, no matter how uncomfortable it was. "Are you sure?", Kagami questioned.

She didn't want to leave all this stress on her fiancé. "Positive Cheri, now go get ready!", Luka jokingly scolded.

Kagami lightly smiled and went to hug Luka and give him a kiss before she left. It was a fast but sweet kiss as the two embraced.

"Je t'aime!", Luka yelled after her. Kagami yelled the French I love you phrase back to him before hopping in her car and driving to her apartment to change into a dress.

Luka finished setting the instruments up at about five thirty and Marinette had just returned in a beautiful pink dress with an over abundance of sweets, it practically filled up the whole table.

She had everything from croissants to macaroons to cupcakes. All the fresh baked goods sent a delicious smell wafting through the air which attracted a few kwami's the holders had.

The main ones being Tikki and later on Daizzi.

But not it was 5:45 and everyone was beginning to show up, everyone wanted to be there early to welcome Alix.

The sun was setting when Kim walked down the path of blue glow sticks.

———————

When she pulled up I immediately got super nervous.

What if she thought the whole glow stick idea was stupid and childish?

What if she didn't come?

What if she hated me after what she saw in my room?

What if's swirled through my mind faster than Alix could skate. Which was pretty fast I'd you ask me.

I was exhausted and was really hoping this would work. I spotted Alya hiding behind a tree, ready to take a million pictures as soon as Alix arrived.

I watched Alix in awe as she walked to towards me. She had learned a few beauty tips since I saw her last.

Her hair blew lightly in the wind behind her causing her curls to frame her face in the perfect way.

The outfit was totally her style but more formal. And her highlighter shimmered in the sunlight.

She was beautiful, although I already knew that before she learned how to use makeup.

She walked up to me and said something that was so her style in almost caught me off guard by how she looked.

It's like I thought since she looked a little different and she would act completely different while that clearly wasn't the case.

"So mind telling me why the heck I'm here when I could be taking a nap?", Alix raised an eyebrow waiting for a witty response.

"Cuz i thought you'd have more fun at a cool outdoor picnic with all your old friends", I smirked.

Her jaw dropped and she grabbed my arm, yanking me through the path of glow sticks.

Oh yeah, same old Alix.
