"happy birthday to me!" Marinette woke up screaming. it was finally her birthday, and she was turning 16.
"I can't believe I'm finally 16" she squealed and got ready for her big day. she sent invitations to everyone; even Chloé, wanting to make her sweet 16 huge and unforgettable.
marinette finally came out of her bathroom wrapped in two towels, one around her upper half and the other on her hair.
"nothing can ruin today" she thought to herself with a small smile. or so she thought..
*buzzzz*
she walked over to her phone, still in her towels, and answered the call.
"happy birthday, Mari!" yelled marinette's one and only best friend, Alya.
marinette giggled to herself. "thanks Alya!"
"no problem, girly" alya laughed out. "what time's the party again?"
"three o'clock sharp!" marinette grinned through the phone
Alya sucked on air. "three? I might not be able to make it.." Alya said softly. marinette could literally hear her heart drop. a party without her best friend?? how could she manage? she inhaled deeply and tried to handle her emotions
"is that so? well, that's alright, everyone is coming so I guess I'll have people to give me company" marinette said with a sad smile
"sorry girly, I gotta go, happy birthday again!" and with that Alya hung up.
"great, just peachy" she thought and walked to her wardrobe. she picked out a light blue jean jacket, a striped black and white T-shirt, faded skinny jeans, and red high top vans. (a/n I basically gave her what I usually wear) she striped off her towels and got dressed. she walked over to her dresser and grabbed her brush.
"what to do, what to do.." she thought to out loud. it was her birthday; she should do something different. so, she ended up giving herself two space buns and headed downstairs.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARINETTE" shout out her mom and dad when she walked downstairs. she laughed and thanked them.
"anything for our little bread maker" said her mom handing her a perfectly gift wrapped box and her dad handed her a stack of pancakes with bacon. (a/n bacon is gross, I feel bad for making marinette eat it)
"aww! you guys shouldn't have!" marinette gusher. her parents started pulling back they were holding out for her.
"BUT IF YOU INSIST" she shouted and grabbed the two items. her parents just laughed.
"open it marinette!" her mom pressured.
"okay, okay" marinette laughed and tore open the gift. her eyes bulged out of her head. inside were comic con tickets. (a/n yes I made Mari a little dork like me)
"we knew how much you wanted to go, so we bought the tickets" her mom said. marinette jumped out her seat and gave her parents a bear hug.
"THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU" marinette screamed.
"eat your breakfast. we're gonna head out to a cooking competition so you can set up your party" her dad said.
"happy birthday marinette! love you" her parents said and headed out. marinette scarfed down her breakfast and started setting up her party.
"Pastel ribbons, (a/n ahhh you see where I'm going with this? ;-)) balloons, table cloth, drinks, plates, food, cups, and cake." she went down her checked everything but cake. she opened her fridge and saw it sitting there in the middle since her parents were bakers.
an hour passed and marinette finally finished setting up and headed to her room. she sat on her bed and unlocked her phone. her DMS were flooded with messages. each one she opened she got happier and happier until she read their second messages; most of them couldn't make it.
"great, Alya now almost everyone I like?" she screamed into her pillow. "well, it's better than nothing" she tried to rationalize to herself and collapsed on her bed. 20 more minutes until my party she thought.
time passes by quick and eventually three o'clock came. marinette sat up and waited for her doorbell to ring. she waited and waited. minutes turned to hours.
she couldn't take it anymore. she cried and cried.
"no, no.. I won't let this ruin my birthday.." she said between her sobs and walked downstairs to where she set up her party and placed her stuffed animals in the chairs. she lit the candles and sat in front of it.
"happy birthday to me..." she sang to herself and could feel the waterworks. she lost her fuse for the second time that day and sobbed.
"I HATE THIS. I. HATE. THIS" she cried and smashed her cake with her fists and ran to her room. she bawled into her pillow, curled in a ball.
"hey.. princesses aren't supposed to cry" said a soft voice at her window.
marinette looked up and saw chat noir.
"go away" she said through her weeps.
"why are you crying princess?" chat said worriedly.
she hesitated for a bit and finally wailed out "everyone abandoned m-me for my birthday! even my best friend! even adrien..." she whispered the last part.
chat immediately remembered, it WAS her birthday, he still had her invitation she handed him. how could he forget?
"I didn't forget princess" he said with a little smile. "I have a present for you too" he said and wrapped her in his arms.
"present?" marinette looked shocked and watched as he transformed back into his civilian form.
"Adrien?" marinette chocked out
"happy birthday m'lady" he smiled and pulled her into a kiss.
best birthday ever she thought.
