COVER ART NOT MINE!!!!!!!!!! Gabriel and Nathalie attend a gala/ball, despite Nathalie needing crutches, and still being very ill from the events of Miracle Queen.
Nathalie groans. "What is it Duusu?" She says, looking up from her book.
"It's time for you to get ready!!! Mr.Gabriel said your dress is already in your closet." Duusu exclaims. Nathalie grabs her crutches and walks over to her walk-in closet.
Nathalie looks at a small stool that has a dress draped over it and takes a sticky note off of it.
My dear Mayura,
Here's your dress for tonight, I know that you already have dresses but I wanted to make you one, so you have to wear it.
-Gabriel
Nathalie sets the sticky down on a shelf and changes into her dress, and puts the flat, very fashionable, sandals on, and walks to the bathroom, forgetting to look in the mirror. She then walks to the bathroom and does her hair and make-up.
Duusu gasps. "MISS NATHALIE YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL!!!! HAVE YOU SEEN YOURSELF- WHAT IN THE WORLD- I'VE NEVER SEEN YOU WITH YOUR HAIR DOWN!!!!!" Duusu flies around the room and Nathalies face is pink from embarrassment.
"Well....No I haven't seen all of me-" Nathalie murmurs.
"YOU HAVE TOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" Duusu says, trying to push Nathalie to her closet because it has a full-length mirror, so Nathalie just walks there and looks.
"Woah." Nathalie whispers. "I look so weird like this..." Duusu flies over to her and grabs her glasses off of her face. "Wha- Hey! Duusu, give me those b-" Nathalie's interrupted by Duusu putting a pair of circular glasses on her face. "Oh." Nathalie says. "I actually look...Good." Nathalie says with a small smile on her face. "Ready to go, Duusu?" Duusu flies under Nathalies dress and goes into a little secret pocket Gabriel put there for her.
~With Adrien and Gabriel~
"Is Nathalie coming, Father?" Adrien asks, looking up at the stairs.
Gabriel waits for a moment before saying anything. "Yes, she should be coming, Adrien." Gabriel tries to start a conversation. "Who are you bringing, son?"
Adrien looks up at his father. "Oh, I'm bringing my friend, Marinette, y'know the one who one who made my hat!" Adrien says with a big smile on his face. Gabriel smiles a bit.
"Are we picking her up?" Gabriel asks the sweet blonde boy next to him.
Adrien looks back at the stairs. "Yup!" They keep talking until they hear a door open from upstairs and they both look at the top of the staircase. Nathalie walks to the stair and stands there for second, locking eyes with Gabriel.

Nathalie starts walking down the stairs and trips, and Gabriel runs up and catches her. "You ok, Nathalie?" He asks with a worried look.
"Yes, I just tripped that's all." She tells him. Adrien walks up and takes her crutches without warning and Gabriel picks her up and carries her to the car. What the actual heck is happening. Nathalie thinks.
Once they get to the limo, Gabriel sets Nathalie down and walks to the other side of the car and sits next to her, and Adrien gets in and sit across from them with a big smile on his face.
Nathalie looks down and her belt clip and whispers so only Gabriel can hear her. "You know...if I didn't know any better, I'd say this looks like my miraculous." She smirks. "I'd also say that this outfit looks a bit like a certain villains outfit."
Gabriel looks at her with a small smile on his face and whispers back. "Well, I'd say you look a lot like her." Adrien just stares at them, extremely curious as to what they might be whispering, but he doesn't get the chance as they pull up to the Dupain-Cheng bakery. Adrien gets out of the car and goes inside.
"Oh you must be here for Marinette, she's very excited to go with you, Adrien." Tom says with a lenny face. "MARINETTE!!!" Tom shouts and they hear Marinette running down the stairs.
"I'M HERE I'M HERE I'M HERE!!" Marinette screams as she runs into the room. Adrien grabs her arms as she trips into him. "I- I'm sorry for falling for you- I MEAN! Falling onto you!"
Adrien smiles. "It's ok, Marinette. Ready?"
Marinette looks like a tomato. "Uh, yeah." She says as Adrien grabs her hand. Now she's even redder than a tomato.
They both sit down in the car.
"Hello, Ms.Dupain-Cheng." Gabriel says to her with a smile.
Marinette smiles while holding her hand up. "Please, call me Marinette." Gabriel nods.
Adrien looks at Marinette. "Marinette, you've met Nathalie, right?"
"Yes, it's nice to see you again Mrs.Agreste." Marinette says.
Gabriel scooches away from Nathalie as far as the seatbelt will let him. Nathalie looks away, both embarrassed, and kind of happy.
