Adrien: Are you ready to go out today? Maybe some shopping?

Marinette: No...

Adrien: I can tell something is bothering you? What's up?

Tears start falling from Marinette's face and Adrien hugs her

Marinette: It's just that, people are so nasty! Everywhere I go, people stare at me, because of my body.

Adrien lets her go and sits her next to him on the couch

Adrien: Are you ready to tell me now?

Marinette nods her head slowly, but surely

She tells him about the dude that tried to seduce her at the mall

Adrien: Oh Marinette, I'm so sorry for you!

Marinette: There's something else too. Something that I haven't even told my best friend because I thought it was too late.

She told him about the incident with Bob, and why she got fired.

All Adrien could do for her was give her a big hug, and he made a promise to her that he'll never let someone do that to her again. No one should have to go through that.

Adrien: I see why you're not ready to go out.

Marinette: No, I think I am. One thing changed between now and 5 years ago, you are now here, with me. I feel much safer now. I think I'm ready to go.

Adrien: Ok, Ma'am.

Marinette: We talked about this! It's Marinette.

Adrien smiled

Adrien: Ok, Marinette.

Marinette: This dress!

Marinette: This dress!

Adrien: Woa- Woah. Marinette, are you sure you want to go out like this?

Marinette: I'm sure.

They head to the mall and arrive there at 2:36 PM

Marinette: (mind) That's the boy from the mall 5 years ago!

She started to tightly hold on to Adrien's arm and pick up the pace in walking, and breathing.

Adrien stopped

Adrien: Marinette, is everything ok?

Marinette: Yea! Totally... ok....

She got softer towards the end of her sentence. Marinette saw the dude come closer to her, his nasty smirks she thought. She started to pick up the pace again, almost running.

Marinette:(mind) he seems to be following us!

Her breath becomes extremely fast, her heart beating out of control. 

Adrien: Marinette! What's wrong?!

She passed out

Adrien: Marinette!

He starts to dial the ambulance, but the dude that was chasing them tries to take Marinette, but then immediately gets stopped by Adrien

Adrien: And what do you think you're doing?

???: Oh, I'm her brother, John. She told me to meet her at the mall, do you know how she passed out?

Adrien:(mind) is he really her brother? Did she really invite him?

He looks him up and down, while on ring with the ambulance

Adrien: (mind) They look nothing alike, I don't trust this dude.

The ambulance picks up the phone, and quickly arrives, taking Marinette

Adrien gets a call from the hospital at 9:38 PM. They tell him his girlfriend is awake.

Adrien: She's not my-                                                                                                                                                  They hung up already, great!

He heads there as fast as he can, and arrives in her room.

Marinette: A-A-A-Adrien? Is that you?

Adrien hugs her tightly, but the doctor soon pulls him away

Doctor: She needs a little bit more time to rest. I understand how much you were worried though. Good luck to your girlfriend!

Adrien & Marinette: He's/She's not my-

The doctor closes the door

Adrien: Why did you pass out!

Marinette: I p-passed out!

Adrien: Yea. I could feel that you were getting very nervous and uncomfortable. Also, do you have a brother named John?

Marinette: What?! No! I'm an only child! Why are you asking?

Adrien: There was this boy that was claiming to be your brother, trying to take you away.

Marinette's heart beats fast

Marinette: He was trying to take me away!?

Adrien: Marinette! Calm down! The doctor said to breathe carefully. And, do you know who he is? Why did you pass out?

Marinette: He was following us.

Adrien: W-What!

Marinette: He was the dude at the mall 5 years ago.

Adrien: You could've just told me! I was so worried about you!

Marinette: I didn't want to worry you as much as I was already worried. I don't think I'm ready to go out.

Adrien: I understand. Just know that If anything, or any one is bothering you, tell me. Don't suck it in.

Marinette: Thanks, Adrien
