"Hey. It's me. Can you send that package back? Oh, and tell her I'm ready."

"M'lady." I look up to find Adrien dressed in a black suit and his hands behind his back. Felix and my parents stood behind him, all of them looking like they were trying to contain smiles but failing.

"Yes, Adrien?" My dad had brought me down from my bed and had set me up on my chaise. He and Felix had left again and my mom helped me change into a cute soft pink dress with spaghetti straps and a flowy skirt. It seemed too festive to wear around the house but she insisted.

I gasped as he walked up to me and got down on one knee. Plagg flew up through the door and handed Adrien something that sparkled. Adrien grinned and took it. He held it up and out to me.

"Marinette Dupain-Cheng, would you do me the honor of becoming my girlfriend for a very brief time before marrying me?" I burst out laughing.

"That is the funniest joke you've ever told." I tell him. "We can skip the middleman and just get married." A goofy grin appears on his face and he takes my outstretched hand and puts the ring on my finger.

Adrien stands up and sweeps me off my chaise and dips me low. He kisses me and Felix and my parents cheer loudly. When we break apart, I'm giggling with joy. My dad whoops and Felix whistles.

"Alright!" A small voice calls out. I look around for Plagg and find him sitting on the back of my chaise. His ears perk up when he hears the voice and he turns towards the source. "Where is that Stinky Sock?" Tikki demands, trying to keep an angry face on.

"Sugarcube!" Plagg cries. In a flash, he's across the room and hugging Tikki tightly. Tikki, abandoning the stern face, hugs him back just as tightly. I laugh and Adrien cheers. I realize something and I bring my hand to my mouth, horrified.

"What's wrong, Marinette?" Adrien asks me, concerned. Everyone turns to look at me and I can't contain my laughter. "What is it?" Adrien asks, confused. I burst out laughing.

"We didn't tell anyone! Alya's going to kill us!"
