Love As In Partners

Chapter 10

The next morning, Marinette woke up early. She had a blast last night and it seemed it was a dream. She still couldn't believe she was Adrien's girl.

"Tikki! I'm Adrien's girlfriend!!"

"I know Marinette! See? I told you if you gave Chat a chance, something may happened!"

"Yeah. Thanks a lot Tikki!"

Marinette quickly got up, showered and changed. After that she went down to eat breakfast.

"Marinette! There is a car waiting for you outside!"

"Oh really?!"

Adrien was waiting for her.

"I'm coming mom!"

Her mom turned to her and kissed her Goodbye.

"Good Morning, My Lady~"

Adrien hugged Marinette and kissed her in the cheek.

"Morning Adrien!"

"Ready to go?"

"Yep!"

Adrien then opened the passenger back door open for Marinette and then he went in with her.

They arrived at school minutes later. Nino and Alya were waiting. Adrien again opened the door for Marinette.

"Woah Nino! Look at that!" Alya then pointed at the couple.

"Hey dudes! What's up!"

Adrien went over to high five Nino. Marinette went to hug Alya. Nino looked at Alya and she looked at Nino.

"So what you two 'lovebirds' up to?" Alya asked.

"Lovebirds? No! She is not my girlfriend!"

Adrien winked at Mari. Marinette looked confused. "What?!"

Adrien looked at Marinette. "Yeah. She isn't."

"But last night we saw you guys..."

"Kissing? Well that doesn't mean we are girlfriend and boyfriend."

Marinette was about to tear up so she ran to the restroom.

"MARINETTE!"

Alya turned to Adrien. "Way to go, Prince Charming!" She frowned and ran over to catch with Mari.

Nino turned to Adrien. "I don't get it. You both like each other!"

"I know... But I haven't asked her to be my girlfriend."

"So you're gonna do it?"

"Yeah! But I want it to be special."

"Oh I see!"

"Don't tell them I said that. Its a surprise."

"I promise!"

In the girls restroom, Mari was crying. Alya tried to console her.

"Its okay! Look, let's go to class."

"No... I'm.. I'm heart broken! Alya I don't want to!"

Alya didn't know what to do. She let out a sigh and got up.

"I'll be in class. I hope you feel better."

Alya left and Marinette kept crying.

"I... I can't believe this! I just don't get it! I knew I wasn't the Ladybug he expected!"

Tikki looked worried. She hid.

Hawk Moth had his window open and looked for evilness in town. He then noticed Marinette.

"Heart broken? Hmm.. No problem for my little akuma!"

He then turned a butterfly into an evil akuma. It flew away and got into her miraculous.

She stopped crying. Tikki then gasped and came out.

"Miss Fortune, I am Hawk Moth. Together we will destroy everyone's loved ones forever! But in return, I need Chat Noir's Miraculous! I hope I count on you."

"Yes... Yes you do, Hawk Moth."

"Marinette! Snap out of it!!"

"Tikki, you don't understand love!!" Marinette then slapped Tikki out of her way and transformed into a Black and Grey Ladybug outfit. Her lips and eye-shadow black.

"Paris! Here I come!!" She jumped out flew with her Yo-yo around Paris, causing Misfortune.

Tikki quickly flew to Adrien.

"Adrien!!" You gotta help Marinette!"

"What? What happened?"

"She... She got akumatized!!"

"She can't be akumatized!! She is Ladybug! She is the only one that can purify akumas!"

"But still you have to help her!!"

"I don't know how!"

"Just take her miraculous and break it!"

"What about you?"

"I... I guess I'll just disappear..."
