"ALYA CESAIRE! What the absolute HELL did you do!?"

Heads snapping and eyes wide looking toward the petite blue haired half-Chinese Parisian rushing at Alya like she was an akuma threatening a small child. Alya and Nino share a look, then a mischievous but absolutely pleased smirk appeared on Alya's lips.

"Oh, Mari, I am not sure I know what you mean, do you know what she means Nino?"

Pulling down his red ball cap over his eyes while giving a quick head shake, Nino tries to make himself small.

The other miraculous holders know not to mess with Marinette, she has the temper of an akuma with the power of creation at her beck and call. She will tear you apart, she is small, but damn is she mighty.

"Alya, what did I say about that damn competition to date Adrien Agreste?"

Marinette shook the congratulations letter so close Alyas eyes crossed, a frown crossing her features. This only made Alya smile larger.

"You got it didn't you? That's why your mad cause you actually made it. I told you Mari, you were a shoo-in, checked all his boxes," Alya winked.

Sighing, Marinette's hand dropped to her side.

"So, you signed Marinette up for a reality show to try to win Adrien's love after she told you no?" Luka reiterated, as the group of untransformed miraculous wielders fell to the floor in laughter.

"The rest of you are ridiculous utterly ridiculous."

Chloe snubbed not even looking at the bluenette.

"Marinette, even though we didn't use to be friends and like I hated you and all that before the whole ladybug needs me to be her superhero best friend."

Alya shot Chloe the stink-eye and whispering bitch under her breath from the comment.

"I'll put in a good word for you with my Adrikins."

Snickers continued to fill the room.

Though Marinette wasn't sure about the sincerity of Chloes declaration she appreciated it none the less.

"Thanks Chloe, but I don't need your reference, I'm not going. It's ridiculous to even think I could have a chance with a literal supermodel, much less The Adrien Agreste, I mean the guy was carved by God himself."

"I don't care how hot he it. I've known him since we were little you know, he's like my brother and totally the biggest dork you will ever meet. Between his stupid puns and your clumsiness, you two are made for each other. Why do you think the guy has never had a real girlfriend he's a total weeb," Chloe shrugged while continuing to file her nails.

Glancing at the letter in her hand, then back at her friends, Marinette couldn't help but wonder if Chloe might be right. Her love life was practically nonexistent. She had dated Luka for a while back in college, but they were better as friends and well, him and Chloe were an item now. Nino and Alya had been pretty much always together since they became friends in college. She had always been kind of a third or fifth wheel to the group for a while now.

Could she handle it though with all her Guardian duties, being Ladybug, and trying to start her boutique? Biting her lip, she eyed her friends hesitantly.

"You guys think this is a good idea?"

Every head in the room nodded immediately.

"You need love Mari and if what Chloe says is true, sounds like Adrien could totally use someone who can handle his puns, and who better than Ladybug, you deal with Chat Noir's dumbass humor during akuma fights. You should be immune by now, right?"

Alya put a hand on her best friend's shoulder, squeezing to show her support.

"Are you willing to babysit?" Marinette questioned; brow raised.

"HELL YEAH!"

The team, minus Chloe, wrapped their arms around Mari as she giggled at their excitement.
