Her Alphabet

“Nathalie, please, Nino wants me to be there for his birthday!” Adrian begged.

“I will ask your father,” Nathalie agreed. 

“Thank you!” Adrien said and threw his arms around her waist.

“Don't get your hopes up Adrien, your father can be a very stubborn man, and you have a full schedule that day.” 

Adrien let go of his father's assistant, “it just means so much that you’ll ask.” 

Nathalie smiled at the poor boy who just wanted a normal day with his friends and turned to go talk to his father. 

“Sir?” Nathalie said as she knocked.

“Yes, Nathalie?” he asked as she walked in.

“Your son would like to go to his friend's birthday party this Saturday.” 

“He already has a photoshoot scheduled for that day as well as an extra Chinese lesson, he has been falling behind.” 

“Of course, sir, I’ll tell him right away.” 

“No, Nathalie, let him go, but I expect you to go with him and make sure he doesn't do anything to harm the Agreste name.”

Nathalie nodded, “I’m sure he’ll be very pleased sir,” Nathalie said and turned to leave.

“Nathalie?” Gabriel called.

“Yes, sir?”

“Where is this ‘party’ happening at?”

“The roller skating rink downtown,” Nathalie answered. 

“Thank you, you're free to go now.”

Nathalie nodded and left the room. 

“Thank you! Thank you! Thank you, Nathalie!” Adrien cheered when Nathalie told him that he was allowed to go. 

“There is one condition, your father said I have to go with you.”

“I’m going to be the only one there with a chaperone,” Adrien complained.

“It’s that or you can't go at all,” Nathalie pointed out.

“I know,” Adrien groaned, “I wish he remembered what it’s like to be a kid.” 

“Your father is only doing what he feels is best,” Nathalie said and left as Adrien huffed against the couch. 

“He’ll never understand what it's like to be a teenager” Adrien complained as Plagg came out from Adrien’s jacket. 

“Relax, kid, I’m sure you can ditch the nanny at the party and be free,” Plagg assured him.

“I know it's not her fault that she constantly has to babysit me but I wish she didn't follow my father’s order exactly.”

“She let you go to school,” Plagg pointed out, “still a horrible decision on your part.” 

Adrien just signed, he knew Nathalie had about as much choice in the matter as she did, getting upset at her wouldn't do anything, it wasn't her decision to make.

That Saturday, Nathalie sat bored in the roller rink as she watched the teenagers skate circles around the track. She watched as Alix left some kid's heads spinning and watched as Kim tried to catch up to her until Alix eventually lapped him. Nathalie watched as some of the couples skated hand in hand. There was Nino and Alya who both skated fluently although slowly. There was Rose who urged Juleka to step away from the wall as they skated together. Ivan was practically dragging Mylène. Nathaniel and Marc were in a similar position as Juleka and Rose except neither really wanted to leave the wall. Chloé tried skating to get Adrien’s attention but after she fell she deemed skating a ‘ridiculous waste of time’ but held Sabrina’s hand as the two made their way slowly in a circle. This left Marinette and Adrien, both of which were rather good on their skates. Marinette’s blush was obvious when Adrien touched her hand. She scratched her head with her other hand as she smiled as their fingers wove together.
