A Hard Curve

Transformation

Chapter 3

"I don't know what to do with this", I said to Nino, as I was reading the grimoire on my tablet. I was transformed and adding some rocks into a pot and trying to create some more power ups and special powers.

"You know maybe you need some fresh air", said Nino, from behind as Wayzz flew next to him.

"I can't. I need to do this. If Ladybug could do it, so can I", I said, as I threw a rock into the pot. It burst out with a pink odor. "Plus this is the only day father isn't here and neither is Natalie".

"You know, Luka and Marinette broke up", said Nino, trying to move the topic.

"Oh no", I said, as I slipped on a piece of paper and fell. I turned to Nino. "Are they both okay?".

"I mean you should go check on Marinette", said Nino, with a smirk.

"Nino, she has other friends. Luka doesn't know those many people if anything I need to go talk to him. Today I have a photoshoot later. I'll talk to him then", I said, as Nino facepalmed himself. "I need to go now!".

"I got this covered for you", said Nino, as he looked at the tablet. "Go talk to Luka. And de-transform".

"Plagg, claws in", I said, as Plagg flew into my jacket. Nino handed me my swimming bag as I ran out of the room to the car. I got in the car and stopped by the houseboat. "Luka!", I yelled. He was playing his guitar.

"Hey Adrien", he said, as I dragged him to his room.

"Grab your swim stuff", I ordered. "Meet me in the car in five".

Soon, the both of us were in the car with our swimming bags. "Why are we going to the pool?", asked Luka.

"So you and Marinette could fall in love again", I said. "You just need one look, then you'll want houseboats, children, snakes, and what not".

"Umm", said Luka, as the both of us got out of the car.

"I have some time before my shoot", I said, as we both entered separate stalls. "We can goof around".

"I want food", said Plagg, as he flew beside me. I showed him a bag full of cheese, as he jumped into it.

I changed into my shorts and saw Luka there outside, waiting for me. I looked behind him. "Look it's Marinette!", I said, as I pointed behind him.

"Where?", asked Luka, as he turned backwards.

"You must really be in love with her", I said, as he saw Marinette pushing Kagami.

"Adrien, hurry up!", said a voice, from below.

"Coming!", I replied. I turned to look at Luka. "Come watch my ad making".

The both of us walked down and saw Mr. Ramier and Mr. Roth. "Good, now Adrien. Jump from there and these doves will deliver you the rose", said Mr Roth.

"But they're pigeons", protested Mr. Ramier.

"No, they're doves", said Mr. Roth, as he switched on the tablet. My father appeared on the screen. "Picture it now, Gabe. One of these doves will deliver a rose midflight to your son. He will take it between his teeth and the doves will surround him, making it look majestic".

"Those are clearly pigeons", said my father, as Luka chuckled beside me. My father cut the call, as the ad began to film.

I walked to the diving board. I jumped as Mr. Ramier blew his whistle. A dove, I mean pigeon whose name was Edgar I think delivered me a rose but I sneezed. The dove flew back as I fell into the water.
