Alya and Nino listened closely to the nightmare of Cat Noir or better to say Adrien. Alya regularly looked over to Marinette who appeared to relive the nightmare again. Nino on the other hand was losing his skin color the more the nightmare advanced. "That's it. I think at least." Adrien said and pushed Marinette's hand. "You think?" Alya hissed and Nino added "That nightmare sounded like pure hell."

Marinette said while looking away "You forgot at some points some details but that is not needed. And yes, Nino, I showed my victims the worst nightmare possible. I controlled them with it." Alya looked at her best friend who still looked away but she could see that Marinette tried to talk openly about what was on her mind. "Girl you know that you are not the fault or source of that happening right?" Alya said while trying to get Marinette to look at her.

"Is that so?" Marinette said with a cold voice and added "I did so much damage to all of you..." Alya stood up and looked at her best friend with an expression of disbelief and rage and wanted to shout but saw the 'psst' faces from Nino and Adrien. "Marinette Dupain-Cheng..." Alya started, which caused Marinette to look at her as she knew Alya would only start like this if something would bug her the most.

"Yes, Alya?" Marinette said with an insecure expression. The cold from the sentence is completely gone. Alya smiled and continued "... thanks for looking at me. You know that I love you right? But that kind of sentence when we are telling you that it is not your fault is bringing my love for you to a full stop and I would like to punch you." Marinette was trying to hide behind Adrien but Alya started to look worried at her and said "Sorry, that was mean of me. I wanted to say Mari. I will stay by your side no matter what will happen and so will Nino."

Nino nodded and tried to smile but was lost in the thoughts about Adrien's nightmare. Marinette looked at Alya and said while looking away again and with sorrow in her voice "I know Alya, and I love you as my best friend and I will always be on your side like my cat will never leave me. I did not think about the words I said. Sorry for hurting you and Nino." "Not accepted." Alya replied while smiling.

Marinette turned her head to Alya and looked in her eyes. "Finally you look at me again. I only accept it IF you can say it while watching me and if you give me a hug." Alya added while opening her arms with a friendly and warm smile. Marinette slowly stood up from ottoman and moved to Alya. She immediately bursted into tears and hugged her best friend tight with only one word 'sorry'.

"Good as this is now cleared and Mari is back to her normal and caring self. Let's start?" Alya explained while hugging Marinette who nodded in agreement. "Hug her tight ok?" Alya continued while she accompanied Marinette to her boyfriend. After that Alya sat down close to Nino and hugged him with the words "I love you." Nino smiled and said "I love you too but where do we start now?"
