A Perfect Match for Adrien Agreste

Chapter 4: Meeting Adrien

The day had finally come. Marinette was going to the Agreste mansion to live for possibly the next 45 days and the town car would be picking her up in fifteen minutes. She had stayed up packing the night before, making sure she had everything she would need, including cookies, lots of cookies for Tikki. Right now, however; her kwami was fluttering around her room attempting to wake up the bluenette from her slumber as her phone alarm continued to blare. This was the third time the alarm had sounded and Tikki could not get her holder to wake up.

"I knew she should have gone to bed before three am, MARINETTE WAKE UP YOURE GOING TO BE LATE!" Tikki, threw a macaron at her, the cookie hitting her between the eyes and bouncing over the loft into the floor. "You are making me waste my precious macarons, Marinette. You are going to miss your ride to the Agreste Mansion and then you will never meet Adrien and have your three kids, and a hamster name..."

A hand came flying towards Tikki, stopping her thought as Marinette's eyes widen, looking around her room for her phone.

"Tikki, I'm late why didn't you wake me up!" she jumped from the bed, the kwami shaking her head.
"I tried Marinette, a tornado could rip through the bakery, and you would sleep through it. Honestly, all of Paris is lucky you wake up to fight Akumas in the middle of the night."

Rushing to her bathroom, brushing her teeth and her hair, Marinette added a bit of mascara and concealer to her, face. She didn't have time for much, well this was going to be a great first impression. At least she had been thoughtful enough to pick out her outfit prior to going to sleep last night.

Pulling on a pretty pink number with a sweetheart neck and white polka dots, with her favorite pink ballet flats, she threw her hair into two twin tails adding matching pink bows to each.

"Marinette, your ride is here."

"Coming Maman!"

Marinette had already given Alya the miracle box, so the kwamis were save and sound. She looked around to make sure she wasn't forgetting anything else, and with a satisfied hum, Tikki flew into her purse as she made her way to the town car waiting for her outside.

_______________________________________________________________________________

The drive to the Agreste mansion wasn't a long one, she could have walked if they hadn't insisted on the drive. She was familiar with its location. She had swung by it many times on patrol and fought a few Akumas near there. Mr. Agreste seemed to be about as good as Chloe back in college at getting people akumatized, it was impressive really. The thought making Marinette shutter knowing she was getting ready to meet him and his son, at least for the first time as Marinette.

Ladybug fought Gabriel as the collector and had saved Adrien a few times over the years, like that time from his big blue gorilla bodyguard and that Japanese fencer, Riposte who wanted revenge on him for somehow humiliating her. He had never been akumatized before though, but that was as much as she was familiar except for Gabriels great fashion designs and anything she read about Adrien in magazines.

Chloe did speak highly of Adrien though, but with Chloe being Chloe, well Adrien could be a stuck-up rich prick or a man with a heart of gold. He had a thing for girls like her though, that's why she was here, so she would find out soon enough because they were driving through the large golden gates to the mansion right now.

"Welcome, Ms. Dupain-Cheng. My name is Natalie Sancouer. I will be assisting you to your room you will stay in for the next month and a half should you make it that far."

She looked Marinette up and down, scrutinizing her from head to toe.

"You definitely match the criteria, even down to the pigtails," she muttered the last part under her breath.
