The Secrets Revealed

Choosing a Dress

I sit down in my chair. 

"I don't know what to do, Tikki" I complain as she sits on the desk in front of me "I don't have a dress or anything."

"Maybe you could make one?" Tikki suggests. 

"Maybe" I agree, getting out my sketch book. I open it to a picture of 2 people. (The picture at the top). "I don't want to go as Ladybug, though. I want to have fun the way I am. Marinette style." 

"Well then make the pink dress then," Tikki says.

"Yeah," I agree "Should I make it a different color?"

"If you like" Tikki shrugs. 

"What color?" I ask, really muddled up in my favorite colors.

"Maybe either red or blue?" Tikki suggests.

"Yeah" I agree, understanding what she means. "Red for Ladybug or blue as my favorite color."

"Exactly," she says excitedly. 

After what seems like hours, which it probably was, I managed to sketch up multiple designs. 

"Which one do you think?" I ask Alya the next day at school. 

"Um..." she says having a look through my sketchbook again. I drew a lot of dresses last night and I can't choose. I don't think Alya can either. "This one" she says suddenly. She points to one of the dresses in the corner. It looks very pretty.

"Awesome," I say excitedly "I'll start making it as soon as I get home. I've got the shoes and everything"

"Awesome" Alya says "Who are you going with?" I giggle

"You'll see" I tease

"Oh, come on, Marinette" she follows me as I walk away "You know how I hate surprises"

"Yep. That's why you're waiting" I giggle. We walk into class and, as suspected, Nino's in my usual seat. I make a face at him and sit down next to Adrien. 

"Hi" he says, as I sit down. 

"Hi" I smile. I reach down into my bag and grab out my tablet. Adrien does the same. "I want to show you something" I say turning on my tablet. I tap on an icon and give it to Adrien. A video plays. Once it's over he gives me back my tablet. 

"That was so cool" he smiles. 

"Thanks. I animated it myself. It was about a dream I had the other night. It took a while to animate let alone write a script and everything" I explain. Adrien pulls me into a hug.

"It was amazing and the more time and effort put into it... the better it is" Adrien hugs me tighter as I wrap my arms around him. I look up at Nino and Alya. I see that they have their hands over their mouths and looking at each other. They look like they're about to explode with excitement. I smile and dismiss the subject as Adrien lets go and Ms. Bustier walks in the room. Class begins when she puts up her hand to silence the class. 

After School...

I walk home after another long day at school and go up to my bedroom. I put my bag down on my bed and take off my purse. I open it up and Tikki flies out.

"Hello, Marinette" she says.

"Hey, Tikki" I say as I put the purse down on the desk. I sit down on my chair and spin around, a little bit bored. I suddenly remember that I have to make that dress. I take out my sketch book, sewing machine and sewing kit. I get to work right away.

"What are you making?" Tikki asks as she sits down on my desk.

"A dress" I say looking up from my work. "I need a dress for the ball, remember?"

"Oh, yes" she smiles widely "Which one are you doing" she asks looking at all of the drawings on my page. 

"This one" I point to the one Alya said she wanted to see earlier in the day. 

"I think that one will suit you" she says kindly

"Thanks, Tikki" I smile "That's very kind of you"
