Miraculous Ladybug: Princess Marinette (on hiatus for now!)

Ch 4: Take The High Road

Adrien chuckled at the lovely bluenette's contagious enthusiasm and nodded.

"Yep, let's go!" He responded with a dashing smile, causing the bluenette to blush gently, though it went unnoticed by the male standing beside her.

Marinette skipped out of her parents quaint little bakery and Adrien followed not too far behind the happy looking female.

Our two protagonists had a casual conversation about life and the shorter bluenette did her best to keep her calm.
'Oh. My. God!!! I'm having an actual conversation with Adrien! And I'm mot stuttering! I guess getting pranked by Chloé wasn't all bad!' She thought and fought back the urge to let out a squeal.

A few more minutes into the walk, Marinette was suddenly tackled. She let out a loud yelp and was squeezed by the female in a tight hug.

"Mari! What happened?" The ombre haired female asked, worry lacing her voice.

"A-alya, c-can't breath!" She struggled to speak due to the bone crushing hug her best friend was giving her.

"Sorry, girl!" Alya let out an awkward laugh and let go, helping the shaken up bluenette back to her feet.
"Now, start explaining!" She said after Marinette had managed to settle herself down.

"Chloé and Sabrina pulled a prank on me." She told the ombre haired female and began dusting off her spotted dress.

Alya growled slightly. "Ugh! That-" She stopped herself from cursing. "Word that I'm way to o classy to say."

Marinette chuckled at her reaction and looked over at Adrien who had met up with Nino. The two males were talking.

"Girl, I think it's time we get Chloé back for all the mean stuff she's done!" Alya suggested and clenched her fist in a determined way.

Marinette shook her head, causing her hair to bounce.
"No, no, no. Alya, let's not stoop down to her level. I'm taking the high road." She explained and Alya raised an eyebrow before smiling.

"You're right. Chloé might be a jerk, but that's no reason for us to be just like her." She nodded in agreement and her smile grew.
"Now, let's go back. You're missing your own party!"

Marinette laughed and locked arms with Alya.
"Nino, Adrien. Let's go!" She called out to them and the boys looked at the pair of friends before running to catch up with them.
They began heading back to the party together, having a nice conversation.

About 10 more minutes had passed before they arrived back at the party. They group headed inside, only to be met by a familiar blonde.

A sinister smirk made it's way onto her face.
"Oh look, Maritrash came back! Finally managed to get that food out of your hair I see?" She laughed an annoying laugh and Marinette glared.

Sabrina stood behind Chloé, obvious shame on her face.
Marinette's glared softened at seeing her regretting.

"As a matter of fact, I did. " She said simply and calmed herself down, not wanting to give Chloé the satisfaction of seeing her upset.

"Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll go and enjoy the rest of my party with my friends. Sabrina, would you like to join us?" She offered and Sabrina looked up, an expression of shock on her face.

"I-i u-um..." She stuttered, afraid to speak her mind.

"Ha, please! Sabrina doesn't have any other friends. Why would she leave me for you?" Chloé snarled and smirked.

"Come on Sabrina, are you really gonna let her treat you like this?" Marinette continued and a crowd of the party goers surrounding them, wanting to hear the heated exchange.
