No one's POV:

The next morning, Marinette helped her parents pack their suitcases for their trip to China.

T: Marinette, you don't have to keep the bakery open, unless you want to earn more money for yourself, but it's alright don't have to work on your own.

S: Yes sweetheart, we've noticed you're really tired these days, don't stress yourself.

M: I won't maman, it's ok papa don't worry, I'm just.. What am I supposed to do while you're gone?

T: Have a sleepover with your classmates. Go out with Alya.

S: Yes, you can call them over, the living room is big enough. And you can call us anytime you need something. It's time to leave now, Bye sweetie, we love you!

M: Safe travel maman and papa, I love you too.

Right after they left, she locked the door and went back into the kitchen.

M: Tikki, I'm gonna bake some cookies for you, or should I make them in the evening?

T: I have 6 cookies, it's more than enough Marinette, thank you. I can help you make some in the evening, so they'll be still warm for Chat Noir.

M: Pff, you don't think he's gonna show up. Is he? You know what, I know what to surprise him with.

So, it's 12PM, right? Good, so we'll head to the grocery store and get some flour cause we don't have anything left. I don't have homework and I'm free today, right? Alya's hanging out with Nino so there are no other plans.

Tikki listened and kept nodding.

Then, we'll go to madame Pauline's store, where I get my fabrics from. After that, we head home and I bake something for Chat Noir, she said as she went to the door.

Tikki: Okay Marinette but, you forgot something, get other clothes on and your purse.

M: Oops, thank you Tikki.

In the meantime, Adrien was at the grocery store searching for something to cook for himself and some cheese for Plagg.

A: Come on, just choose already.

P: I wanna get both of them, I know they're soo delicious.

A: My father is anyways wondering why I'm eating so much camembert, just choose one.

P: I can't choose, it's too hard. Besides, you're gonna visit your girlfriend again and you won't detransform so...

A: Okay, take them. She's not my girlfriend Plagg, now hurry cause Gorrila probably thinks I'm crazy and talking to myself.

Look, Marinette's here. He went towards her. Hi Mari!

M: Hi Adrien. What are you doing h-here?

Tikki noticed the cheese and smiled when she saw Plagg slightly move up to see her.

A: I came to buy some food for myself cause I'm alone for a while, you?

M: You know how to cook?

A: Of course, my mother taught me.

M: That's so sweet, she smiled and thought about changing the subject because she didn't want him to be sad. I'm alone too for a while and I'm buying ingredients for the bakery. What do you think, would you like to have a sleepover with me? I mean, with Alya and Nino too.

A: Sure, I've never been to a sleepover, when?

M: I can't believe it. Are you free tomorrow? He nodded confused. I promise Adrien, you will have the best sleepover ever! Everything will be perfect. Do you like Eclairs and Crepes?
