___________________

The two girls arrived at Marinettes home shortly after. It's very conviniete since she lives right across the street from the bakery.Alya and Marinette basically just laughed the way over to her house. Marinette opened the door laughing and quickly turned to greet her parents.

"Hello Mama, Papa " The blue haired girl smiled brightly towards her parents.

"Hey Miss and Mr dupain-cheng." Alya greeted the two adults while grabbing a snack from the bakery counter top.

"We are going to head up stairs, ok?"

"Ok, thats alright with me but we do need you helping down in the bakery later tonight. It's planned for a busy night."

"Alright mama I'll be down later, I promise." Marinette gave her mother a quick peck kiss on the forehead and ran up the flights of stairs to her bedroom. Once they both arrived in her bedroom, Marinette shut the door and sat on her polka dotted chaise.

"So, spill girl." Alya quickly fixed her position with a wide smirk on her face.

"Hm? About what?" Marinette had already forgotten about Alyas sudden interest in what happened between her and Adrien.

"Adrien, duh." Alya rolled her eyes with exxageration.

"What about him?" Marinette questioned the girl still clueless.

"Uhm did you already forget? God you are so forgetful."

"Ya ya now what is this about?"

"What happened with you and Adrien today?" When the words were let out of Alyas mouth, Marinette practically choked.

"WHAT?? NOTHING!!" Marinette yelled extremely loud, which got her parents attention.

"Is everything alright up there Marinette?" Sabine, Marinettes mother shouted from downstairs.

"Uhm yea, everything is just great up here miss Dupain!" Alya shouted right back down in place of Marinette since she was still in some sort of shock from what her best friend asked. "So what happened with you guys? What did you talk about?"

"I accidently ran into him, he made fun of me like usual, and we ended up having last period health together. He ended up sitting next to me, and he told me about a fashion designing contest his dad hosts. He told me I should enter, but Adrien actually models the winning piece, but I just so happen to think that my work is way to stunning to be seen on that boy."

"No way oh em gee! You are SO entering that contest Marinette! That could open up and present so many opportunities for you." Alya whisper yelled at her in excitement. Alya was much more excited about it then Marinette was.

"Uhm I don't know" Marinette shrugged.

"Marinette you have to do it!" Alya whisper yelled again.

"Alya is right hun." Sabine said unexpectedly causing the two girls to jump in fright.

"Mom? How long have you been standing there for? Evsbdropper much?" Marinette sighed in a case of relief from being jump scared.

"Sorry love, I was just concerned when you yelled so I came to check in on you and I caught your conversation right when you started talking about this contest. Marinette, it's time to start thinking about your future. What you want to make of yourself. This contest can be seen by many amazing known fashion designers, including the one and only Gabriel Agreste. If designing is what you want to do, I think you should enter." Sabine flashed a bright smile and crawled back down the ladder and quietly shut the trap door.

Marinette got into a deep thought. She never really imagined what she wanted her future to look like, well rather then having a pet hamster with the love of her life she hasn't found yet. What did she want to come out to be? Some small business boutique? A major fashion designer? Or persue a whole nother career. She has tons of talent in the designer category. She mostly loves doing fashion but occasionally does some side projects. Like this one time, she designed a famous rock performer, Jagged Stones effiletower shapped sungalsses, then he asked her to design and draw his album cover. Her parents have always been big Baker's, they've always loved it. They bought the bakery/apartment when they were only 22, and started off their business and family. However her best friend Alya was a huge soccer player. She is excellent at the sport and plans to possibly go pro in the future.

"Earth to Marinette?" Alya slowly said while waving her hand in front of her face. Marinette jumps back into reality after her quick little thinking session.

"Uhm yes yes I'm here" Marinette shook her head as if she was shaking something off.

"Your mom wants you to go down and help in the bakery now dear" Tom, Marinettes dad said as he opens the trap door.

"Ok, I'll be down in a second."

"So, I guess that's my que to leave now." Alya said getting up.

"No no, stay you don't have to leave. Please." Marinette looked at her best friend with puppy dog eyes.

"Fine, I'll stay with you. Let's go downstairs now."
