Miraculous Adventures of the Ladybugs and Chat Noirs

Chapter 9

[Setting: Dupain-Cheng bakery]

Marinette and Alya were getting the colors of frostings out with Manon to decorate the cookies. Ayla and Bridgette were getting the ingredients out while the boys got their aprons on and picked out sprinkles. Every now and then, Felix would sneak a peek at Bridgette. After a couple of times, Bridgette finally caught him. She blushed but looked away frowning. Marinette caught this and frowned, wondering why her cousin was neglecting her crush since forever. She just shrugged as they all got started. Suddenly the phone rang and Bridgette answered it. Minutes later she returned. "Marinette, we have a delivery!" She cheered. Marinette nodded. "Can you guys watch Manon and the cookies while we run this delivery?" She kindly asked them. The boys just shrugged and Alya and Ayla nodded. I mean, how bad can one little girl be? The two girls left. Five minutes was all it took. No less than that. The poor souls didn't even expect it. Manon went nuts. They couldn't keep her in one spot! They begged Alya to help, but of course she said no. By the time Mari and Bri got back, Adrien was in a locked closet with Nino. Nico was hiding under the table with Ayla, Alya was texting, and Manon was pulling on Felix. Marinette groaned and Bridgette scooped Manon up from Felix, who was indeed very grateful. Manon giggled as Bridgette carried her to the kitchen and set her on a chair. Then after saving everyone, they started decorating the cookies. By the time they finished, Adrien frowned at his cookie that looked like it was made by a five year old. Manon's cookie looked better. Alya face palmed as the cookie she made with Nino had a mountain of sprinkles on it. Nico and Ayla high fived as they beamed at their cookie. Felix just looked at his cookie, then at Bridgette's. Compared to hers, his looked like a mess. He crossed his arms and pouted. How could decorating a simple cookie be so difficult?! He felt a nudge and peeked to his side to see Bridgette, holding her cookie out to him. He raised an eyebrow and she gulped. "U-Um...we can trade cookies......" she managed to get out. Felix blinked a few times. She wanted his cookie?! It looked awful! After a few minutes, he sighed and accepted her cookie. She grabbed his cookie and looked at Felix, her face showing a surprised expression. He was smiling.
