From Ashes to a New Beginning: A Miraculous Fanfiction

Chapter 53

Marinette didn't hear Luka's voice for a few seconds, making her think she lost service considering she was in the basement. After a few seconds however, Luka's voice entered the basement.

"Marinette? Are you ok? You sound upset." Luka said worriedly.

"Luka! Luka. Call Adrien. Tell him to give you the Ladybug miraculous. Tell him to not come to the basement for any reason. Promise me that!" Marinette panicked.

"Marinette? What's going on?" Luka asked.

"Please! It's an emergency. Please do this for me Luka." Marinette begged.

She could tell Luka was thinking and then heard him sigh. She knew he wanted to help her but she couldn't explain anything else. It would make things worse. She also couldn't tell Adrien his father is Hawkmoth because... it would make his mental stability plummet.

"Ok Marinette. I know this must be important. I'll call Adrien and tell him." Luka said.

"Thank you Luka," Marinette said.

"Just... be safe." Luka said, before hanging up.

Marinette let out a sigh of relief before eventually crying.

Adrien pulled into the hotel parking lot and parked. He stepped out and shut the door. Instantly hearing the clicking of high heel shoes walking towards him.

"Hi there Adrien! You're just on time!" Chloe smiled, walking over and hugging him.

"Oh hey Chloe. It's good to see you." Adrien smiled, giving her a hug.

"Ready to go?" She said walking over to the passenger car door.

"You never said where we were going." He laughed.

"Oh... um... We could grab some lunch and talk about what we're going to do on our double date tomorrow." Chloe smiled, opening the door.

Adrien agreed and got into the car and they left the hotel. They found a restaurant that Chloe suggested. It was more on the expensive side but... knowing Chloe it would have to be. She hopped out of the car and walked around to his side, a little happier than usual.

"You're in a good mood today. What's the occasion?" Adrien said, a little awkward as he stepped out of his car to find her waiting on him.

"It's just been forever since we did this! I've missed you. We should do this more often." Chloe smiled.

"O-oh... yeah, maybe." Adrien smiled politely.

They walked into the restaurant and sat down. They started looking over the items when Adrien felt his phone vibrate. He pulled it out and saw it was Luka calling. He sighed and declined the call, putting it back in his pocket.

"Something the matter Adrikins?" Chloe asked, sitting her menu down.

"Just Luka calling." Adrien said.

"Luka? Marinette's ex boyfriend?"

"Yeah, we're all friends. He came over the other day with Kagami." Adrien explained.

"You're telling me... Marinette's ex... and your ex... came over?" Chloe said, crossing her arms.

"Uh.. well.."

"Are you two breaking up? Are you getting back with Kagami?" Chloe asked, taking her drink from the waiter.

"N-no of course not! I love Marinette!" Adrien said, a little louder than he would have liked.

"S-sorry." He apologized.

"It's alright Adrien. I was just wondering. Didn't mean to... push your buttons." She said, sipping her drink.
