Marinette sat in the room with a frown. It has been days since the party.  Adrien has not spoken to her.

     She is rather disappointed. She tries not to show it. 


     The doctor shows up to check on her leg. He nods his head.

       "Yes, I do believe the cast can come off now."

       He removes a small tool from his bag and gently removes the cast.

         "It might take some time to get the strength back in your leg.  It should be good as new in no time."

         "Thank you, doctor."


     "Sis, I see the cast is off at last."

     "Yes, the doctor just left."

       "Did I do something to anger him?"

       "Hmm, that depends, are you talking about Mr. Agreste or Agreste Junior?"

          "Tikki, you know, very well, that I am talking about Adrien."

          "I suppose you will have to ask him yourself, then."


          Tikki goes to speak to Plagg about something.

           Next, Adrien enters the room.

            "Marinette, you are still here?"

           "Yes, why are you so surprised?"

          "The doctor left and the cast is gone so I thought that you..."

              "You thought wrong, Lawyer boy."


              "M-Marinette, but you always did not want me."

               "Adrien, we have been through this already, darling. I love you."

             Adrien shakes his head.  He does not believe her.

                Marinette grabs his collar as she hears the door close behind him.

                  "M-Marinette, what are you d-doing?"

                 "Shh,Hush Adrien, honey,"  She says.


               Before Adrien could figure out what was happening between them, Marinette closes the gap and presses her lips against his. As she kisses him, he blushes and slowly returns the kiss.

               Adrien thinks, if it is all a dream then I never wish to wake up from it.  He closes his eyes and deepens the kiss.

                "M-Marinette?"  He whispers when he pulls away.

               "Yes, Adrien?"

                "I love you!"

               "I love you too, Adrien, lawyer boy!"


             Marinette patches up the torn shirt of his that she found on her sewing desk that morning. She dares not ask how it got in such a shape. She rather not know. She finishes and hands it to him.

        "There it is good as new, so do not tear it up again, lawyer boy!"

         "As you wish, Seamstress cutie!"
