I Am Strong

Party Prepping

Saturday was passing along as Marinette spent her time working on her ball gown. The whole dress was red and sleeveless, but it had an black intricate design starting thickly at the chest and forking off at the belly button, slowly fading, stretching to the back and ending at the knees while the red continued to the floor. To go along with the dress she had long black gloves that stopped at the elbow. (Sorry if the description sucks, if you don't like it imagine your own, keep the color scheme tho)

She also had a little short sleeve lace shrug with a red clutch. Along with her usual black earrings and a red ring. She would have a matching black necklace but she couldn't find the right one as all the ones she saw just didn't work, or were to expensive. As she worked, music was playing and she would sing, hum, or occasionally dance along. Finally she had finished the dress it was about 6pm. She was going to try it on until her trap door burst open. A certain ombre burst through in tears repeatedly apologizing. Alya was latched to Marinette like a lifeline, causing the bluenette to giggle.

"Alya, it's fine I over reacted. Don't worry about it. Now help me test out my dress." Mari giggled.

"Dress? Why do you need such a fancy dress?" Alya asked, taking notice of the dress I had just finished.

"Oh...um...Adrien's dad is having a ball for designers so Adrien asked me to go with him. I think he had to much trouble for me to go he couldn't even try to invite you or Nino." Marinette explained nervously.

"Makes sense! It's so gorgeous! You gotta try it on girl! Oh and I can help you with make up the night of the ball!" Alya squealed. Marinette nodded excitedly and went to the bathroom to put on the dress, along with the accessories.

Inside the bathroom Marinette put on the dress. but before she put on he gloves she put makeup over her day old 2nd degree burn. Then she put on the shrug and the ring, grabbed the purse, and exited the bathroom.

"OH MY GAWD GURL YOU LOOK AMAZING! LIKE GURL! GURL! GUUUURRRRLLL!" Alya screamed. Marinette simply giggled in reply.

"Gurlgurlgurl, we gotta do a test dance! Slow song or fast song? Or both?"

"Ummmm, how about both?"

"Ok slow song first....what song tho?" Alya asked.

The two girls danced together until 10pm when Alya got a call from her mom telling her to go home. Marinette was about to go change when a certain leather clothed hero hopped in.

"I thought she would never leave! I'm glad you two made up and all, but I was getting impatient! But meow that I have you attention Bugaboo, you look Purrfect My Lady!" Chat said. with a smirk.

"Wow Chat how rude! Spying on a girl for hours, busting into her room without knocking, immediately busting out the puns and flirts, and to top it all off looking at the dress you weren't supposed to see until Friday! I'm disappointed in you Agreste!" Marinette said, crossing her arms, maintaining a glare. Chat's ears drooped and his tail hung low as all this was pointed out.

"I'm so sorry Marinette...I will leave now... see you at school." Chat said sadly. He started going to the exit when two arms wrapped around his torso, and he felt/heard Marinette giggling on his back.

"I was just kidding Chat! Though I am slightly disappointed that I won't be able to surprise you now. But it's ok." A smirk played onto Chat's face (as well as a blush, but he'd never admit it) as the words flew out of her lips and into his ears.

"Marinette? Why do you still call me Chat even though you know who I am and no one is around us?"

"Because I wouldn't want my parents to over hear and if I call you Chat when you're in hero form I won't slip up and call you Adrien in public, silly kitty!" Marinette replied, unwrapping herself from Chat.
