Marinette felt like a ball of complete chaos this Monday morning... She had just found our Cat Noir was Adrien Agreste and they had had an amazing weekend of stealing away and visiting each other in the middle of the night just to talk since the prom two nights ago. They hadn't done anything more than kiss but it had been like a dream! However, now it was back to real life... School... Lessons... Graduation... What would it be like? What were they?
"So... Are you and Adrien official yet??" Alya said startling her out of her thoughts.
Marinette jumped then sighed. "I... I'm not sure. I mean I think we're a thing... But we haven't actually talked about it?"
"Do my ears deceive me?? You and Adrien a thing? Why would he date you??" Chloe asked overhearing them.
Marinette scowled at her and Sabrina standing next to her. However, before she could say anything she felt an arm on her shoulders and looked up to see Adrien grinning at her.
"Hello, Princess. How are you today?"
Chloe audibly gasped. "Don't tell me you're dating this no one, Adrien! It can't be true!"
He looked at Chloe with an irritated look on his face as if she had greatly offended him. "Marinette is amazing, Chloe, and if you knew her like I do you would regret what you just said. As to dating... Well, Uh..." he looked at Marinette embarrassed, "I guess I never really asked?"
Marinette felt color in her cheeks and Alya winked at her. "Yeah, I mean... Yes, we're dating!"
Adrien smiled that smile that made her a puddle, grabbed her hand, and walked with her into school while Chloe and Sabrina stood there with their mouths open. Alya snickered at them and walked in behind the pair.
"I can't believe the nerve of her! You two were made for each other, Chloe! She must have lied to him or something!" Sabrina said. However, she saw a strange look on Chloe's face. "Chloe? Are you okay?"
Chloe felt like she had been hit by a bus. For years she had dreamed of dating Adrien Agreste for real and even going as far as planning their wedding. She had just assumed Adrien would want to date her when they were a bit older... But now he was dating that loser! Before she knew it, she was walking away from Sabrina and crying!
"I can't believe that Marinette Dupain-Cheng!! And why am I crying! I don't cry! He just doesn't see he's making a huge mistake!"
She slumped down on a stair in a park and continued crying.
"Little lady, whatever is the matter?" she heard a voice above her ask.
She looked up to see a little old Chinese man looking at her kindly. "None of your business, old man. Leave me alone."
He chuckled. "Ah but I think it is. Don't want another akuma victim because I ignored a fellow human being in need."
"Hawkmoth wouldn't dare akumatize me if he knew what was good for him!" she said indignantly.
"Would you fight him if given the chance?"
She thought for a moment. "You mean like Ladybug and Cat Noir? I guess... But I don't have any super powers..."
"You seem like a person who would fight for justice given the chance." he surmised.
"But I'm never given a chance. Everyone just thinks the worse of me and thinks I don't care. I mean, I guess I'm selfish, but I don't know how to change that."
He stroked his little beard thoughtfully. "What if you were given that chance?"
She looked at him strangely. "What could you do, little man?"
He placed an ancient looking box in her hands. "If you're serious, take this home and open it. But only if you're willing to take on the responsibility."
"What responsibility?".
He just smiled, got up slowly, and nodded sagely. Chloe watched as he walked away and then looked at the little box. "Well, one thing's for sure, that man has no style sense!" Yet she was still intrigued.
Master Fu and Wyazz watched as she left with the little box in hand.
"Are you sure about this, Master? She doesn't look like a hero." Wyazz said worriedly.
Master Fu smiled. "None of us are born heroes, Wyazz. We learn. And if anyone can handle Chloe Bourgeois, it will be Pollen."
Wyazz sighed. "I suppose you're right. I just hope this is a good choice."
"Something tells me she has more than what meets the eye. Everyone deserves a chance, even Chloe."
***********************
Back in class, everyone was buzzing about Adrien and Marinette becoming an item. However, Adrien and Marinette didn't even notice. They were too infatuated to hear a word they were saying, including their teacher. Marinette would be looking up and catch Adrien staring at her! He would blush deeply and so would she.
At lunch Alya laughed uncontrollably while Marinette sat red faced next to her. "Girl, you two are smitten! Come on, give me all the deets!!"
"Well, I, ugh... I mean. I guess we finally realized who the other one is? I think we were just missing a side of the other we were blind to..." Marinette said tapping her fingers embarrassed.
"You mean like a secret identity?"
Marinette looked up shocked. "What..."
"Yeah like, a super hero! You know like you know one side of a person, but they could have a whole other side to them you never realized before!"
Marinette sighed relieved. "Yeah exactly."
Alya frowned for a millisecond though but quickly went on to ask more questions. "So... You going to go on a date soon?"
Marinette blushed yet again. "I mean... We haven't really talked about it... To be honest, I'm still kind of shocked from this morning..."
"Well, you gotta talk to the guy eventually, M." Alya laughed.
Marinette chuckled thinking of their conversations the last few days. It was mostly, "Wow, we completely missed the obvious," conversations. But how could she tell Alya that?
Suddenly they heard gasps from the teachers watching the news in a corner of the cafeteria. Marinette and Alya looked at each other and ran over to see what was going on.
"Is that.. Ms. Bustier??" Alya asked shocked as she watched the news unfolding.
Nadia Schamat was standing in front of their school with microphone in hand. "This just in, a teacher at
Collège Françoise Dupont has been akumatized and is calling herself the Educator!"The camera zoomed in to see an akumatized Ms. Bustier cackling and using a pointer to force people into a desk and writing quietly.
"Uh oh this isn't good, M... I'm going to go film this..." Alya said backing away.
"Yeah um I'm going to find Adrien..."
The two split up and Alya ran for an alcove. "Okay Trixx, time to transform!"
"You sure you're not going to tell Marinette you know she's Ladybug?" Trixx asked with an eyebrow raised.
"Yes, for now at least. And quit the chit chat! We have work to do! Trixx, tricks out!"
