Marinette had to admit, this plan they had come up with was brilliant. Alya and Nino hadn't suspected a thing, and seemed even more excited when Adrien and Marinette insisted on sitting next to each other at the movie they'd gone to see, so their friends would be forced to sit with each other. It was only the first phase of their "Weekend of Fun" as they'd named it (neither of them were very creative in the naming of it) but easily the most important. Alya was sitting next to Marinette with Nino on her other side, giving her optimal view of the goings on, as well as giving her a push.

They even split up the popcorn appropriately, hoping to get them to touch hands, like they did in the movies. Unfortunately, Marinette ended up touching Adrien's hand in the same manner before the movie had even started.

"Oops, sorry." she whispered.

He just smiled and gestured to their friends who were quietly arguing over where to put their own popcorn. She giggled when they finally decided that Nino would hold it, Alya sighing in defeat.

The movie started not long after that, an action-filled superhero movie that Alya and Nino had insisted they see since it reminded them so much of their personal heroes, both of whom were sitting right next to them. Marinette could only roll her eyes at how ridiculously inaccurate they portrayed secret identities. It wasn't quite that hard to find places to transform, but if you got thrown that hard into a building, superhero powers or not, it was going to leave a bruise the next day. Adrien was thinking the same thing, and subconsciously rubbed his arm where an akumatized person had thrown a medicine ball at him a week beforehand. He lightly bumped Marinette's arm in the process and she recalled them same moment, frowning at it and looking at him sadly. He noticed her looking at him, and dropped his arm, smiling at her instead. She gave him one final glance before turning her attention to their friends whose knees were touching as they whispered about something. She could see Alya blushing slightly when she noticed Marinette looking at her, and moved away from Nino to pay attention to the movie.

When the movie was over, the four of them made their way to the food court in the theatre to grab dinner, again Marinette slid into the seat next to Adrien before either of their friends could move. When their feet bumped under the table, her heart skipped a beat and she had to remind herself that this was for Alya and Nino's benefit and she needed to keep her head in the game. Nino spent half of their meal trying to flirt with her, while she attempted to keep a conversation up with Marinette.

"There's no way that she would have gotten back up so quickly after getting thrown into that building. She doesn't have super strength or super healing, so she would have broken at least a rib." Marinette argued.

"She's right Alya, you'd be in rough shape after something like that." Adrien added.

Alya shook her head. "But they're superheroes! They're a little more resilient than us normal folk."

"They're still people." Adrien said.

"Bro, it's a movie, but I've seen real heroes like Ladybug get hit pretty hard and get back up afterwards." Nino countered.

Marinette winced at the memories of being hit with and thrown into things. Adrien had a rebuttal first however. "Sure, but that's the adrenaline. I guarantee you, the next day they're taking heavy duty painkillers just to make it through the day. They have real lives too you know."

"Don't we! I want to know who they are so badly!" Alya gushed.

"Maybe we should team up and try to figure it out," Nino suggested.

"I work best alone."

"Alya, he's got a point. He's good with a camera, you could totally get closer with his help." Marinette added. Her friend looked at said boy, who was smiling hopefully at her and she sighed.

"Fine, I guess you can try and help me with it. Just know that I don't have room for slackers. My ladyblog won't run itself!"

Marinette and Adrien fist bumped under the table, and she flinched, hoping Adrien wouldn't sense the familiarity of the action. He didn't seem to take a second to think about it however, as the topic of conversation changed.

Later that night, Tikki was sitting watching from her hiding place as Marinette and Alya talked and watched a movie in Marinette's bed. She liked Alya a lot, but it was sometimes boring to not be able to float around her room freely. She was just drifting off into a nap when she sensed Plagg not too far from them. She waited for a particularly loud scene in their movie and flew out the window to see where he could be.

"Shouldn't you be with Adrien?" she asked him. He was sitting on the railing of Marinette's rooftop terrace, tail swishing back and forth.

"We need to talk about that actually."

"Please tell me you haven't told him."

Plagg scoffed. "Of course not. You know I stopped caring about the relationships between Chat Noir and Ladybug centuries ago. I only look out to make sure my chosen is well looked after."

Tikki took a seat next to him on the railing. "So why are you here? Normally you never come to see me of your own free will. Not that I'm complaining, I've missed you."
