Adrien P.O.V

The movie had finally started after what felt like hours of ads. The beginning of it wasn't all that scary. Few jump scares here, few pop ups there. Occasionally some died.

Marinette was sound asleep with her head on my lap and her body curled up in the seat next to me. I had my hand on her side.

The movie was really quiet when suddenly something popped out of a dark hallway and made a loud noise.

The entire theater either screamed or gasped and Nino, being the idiot he is, flung his popcorn everywhere. Marinette grabbed onto my leg for dear life. She was still sleeping, but I guess the movie got into her dream.

The movie overall wasn't scary, or at least not for me. But then again, they never were.

All of the lights turned on. Mari didn't wake up, so I just picked her up and carried her to the car. "Why are you always carrying her?" Alya asked.

"What? Are you jealous?" I asked and smiled at her. She looked at me annoyed. Nino was covering his mouth so she wouldnt see him laugh.

"What else do you guys wanna do? It's not even 1:00 yet." I asked. They thought for a second. "I know what we can do!" Alya yelled. I shushed her and glanced over at Marinette, who was still happily sleeping.

"Anyways, what's your plan?" Nino asked. "We can go to the mayors annual ball later and crash it." She said devilishly and rubbed her hands together.

"How are we even going to get in?" Nino asked. She rolled her eyes. "It's the mayor. Chloe obviously invited Adrien." She said in a 'duh' tone.

"Nope. Not going. End of story." I said and slightly shook my head. "Why not!?" Alya whined. "You said it yourself. Chloe. I can't deal with her, let alone her." I said and gestured to the sleeeping beauty next to me.

"You guys are buzz kills." She said in a snobby way and crossed her arms. "Are you serious?" I asked and pulled the car onto the side of the road.

I turned around in my seat to face her.

"What?" She asked and crossed her arms. "Do you really think that it is such a good idea for her to go to an event with the person who tortured her all through out highschool on a daily basis so you can have some fun?" I quietly yelled.

She looked embarrassed. "Not when you put it like that?" She mumbled. I turned around and started the car back up.

I adjusted the rear view mirror and saw Alya with her head on Nino's shoulder. I sighed with guilt. "I'm sorry, Alya." I started. "If you want, I could get you in and then bail." I suggested.

"Could you really?" She asked in disbelief. I nodded. She squealed. "This is going to be fun." She said and uncontrollably giggled. Nino laughed.

"So what's your plan this time?" He asked. "What do you mean?" She asked generally confused. "I'll do what I usually do." She said and looke up at him.

Before he could say something, I chimed in. "You usually get drunk and harass people. But now you can't do that." I snickered. She groaned.

"Well now you can go lie to rich people about other rich people." Nino said sarcastically. I think Alya took it seriously though.

"Okay, so the party is at 7. What are we going to do until then?" I asked as we pulled into the driveway.

"More movies! I vote dead pool!" Nino said and waved his arms around. I laughed. I had seen that movie at least a dozen times with him.

I playfully rolled my eyes. "What ever you want, mrs. Reynolds." I said and bowed. Alya fell to the ground laughing.

I opened up the passenger side door and grabbed mari. "Nino, go set up the movie. Alya, I am like, 90% positive that you are craving some weird Japanese food. And I am like, 90% sure that it is in the pantry." I said. She looked at me like I was reading her mind.

She narrowed her eyes and slowly nodded. We all went inside and I shut the door. I walked into the living room. I jumped and dropped marinette when I saw a particular blonde on our couch.

"Oww, Adrien." She mumbled and rubbed the back of her head. "Sorry," I helped her to her feet.

"Adrikins!" She screeched. Oh god. "I'm not dealing with this." Marinette yawned and kissed my cheek. I sighed as she walked into the kitchen.

"What do you want Chloe?" I asked already annoyed. "And how did you get into our house?" I continued. She hesitated for a moment.

"I have keys to this place. Your dad gave them to me when I was like, 8. And, I was wondering if you were coming tonight. Lady Bug and Chat Noir will be there." She said lyrically.

I had forgotten about that. Now I actually had to go to that. "Yah, yah. I'm going. You'll see me there. Now please leave." I said trying to get her to leave as quickly as possible.

She hugged me and kissed my cheek. I wiped the spot as she walked out the door. I walked into the kitchen. "So how was your chat with Lucifer?" Alya asked.

"Turns out we have to go." I said ans slammed my hands on the table. "Wait, go to what?" Mari asked. I forgot she was asleep during that conversation.

"Remember the mayors party, that I was invited to? Yah, ladybug and chat noir have to show up." I admitted. "Haha. Marinette has to go to enemies party!" Alya said and clapped her hands together.

"Yah, but at least I can drown my sarrows in alcohol." She responded and went into the living room. "Ohhhhh, damn! Do you need some ice for that burn!" Nino yelled and twirled around like an idiot.

We all went into the living room. I turned off all of the lights and Nino closed all of the curtains, leaving the room nearly pitch black.

I layed on the couch with my back pushed against the cushion. I pulled Marinette down with me so her head was on my chest and my hand on her lower back.

Nino turned on the movie and stared at the screen in amazement like this had been the first time he had seen it.

Within a few minutes mari was asleep, I followed not long after.
