"Marinette!"

Marinette turned around, smiling at her best friend. "What is it, Alya?"

"Girl, you are never going to believe it."

Alya was grinning. She had one hand on her hip and her phone in the other. "I got us into a group movie night. And guess who's going to be there?"

Marinette almost didn't dare to get her hopes up. "Adrien?"

"That's right! Am I the best or what?" Alya chuckled.

Squealing, Marinette threw her hands around Alya's neck. "Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you!"

As she patted the ecstatic girl's back, Alya explained. "One little problem. Chloé overheard and insisted on coming along."

Marinette groaned. "Of course. Chloé can be such a brat."

"I know, right? Now get home, you should probably do your homework so we can stay out a little later," Alya instructed and sent Marinette off with a grin.

Marinette had just finished the last of her homework. She collapsed on her bed, letting out a joyful cry. "Finally!"

Her phone vibrated. Marinette sighed and picked up Alya's incoming call. "Hey."

"Hey, girl. I have some bad news for you."

"What? Oh no!" Marinette cried. "What happened?"

She could hear Alya's somewhat sheepish tone through the phone.

"Well... Adrien said he couldn't make it. Something about his dad again, I think. Sorry Marinette... I know you really wanted to see Adrien tonight."

Marinette frowned. "It's okay. It's not like there's anything you can do about. I might just not go... I mean if I don't see Adrien, what's the point?"

Alya tsked over the phone. "Marinette, come on! Don't cancel because of Adrien! We're watching a movie and it's supposed to be a good one!'

"But Chloé..." Marinette piped up.

"Whatever, girl! Since when has Chloé ever stopped you from being awesome? Now stop moping and get ready, because I'll be at your house in fifteen minutes!"

There was a click as Alya hung up. Marinette relented with a soft sigh and grabbed everything she needed.

When the doorbell rang, Marinette was already downstairs. She waved goodbye to her parents and left with Alya. Normally, she only went to the cinema with her best friend, but tonight she would make an exception.

Adrien groaned. "I can't believe Father cancelled last minute again. Why'd I think tonight would be different?"

Plagg made a face at him. "Sorry, kid. But didn't you do the exact same thing?"

At that, Adrien paled. He checked the clock. "There's still time! I can make it!"

Plagg snorted. "Barely! It started ten minutes ago! Are you just gonna show up? They're probably in the theatre already, so it's not like you can text them."

With a sigh, Adrien slumped. Suddenly, he jumped. "Actually, yeah! I can go as Chat!"

"What? No no no, wait! Kid, think about-" Plagg tried to say, but was interrupted.

"Plagg, claws out!" Adrien shouted.

Marinette excused herself from the trailers playing before the movie. She walked out into the hallway carrying a bucket of popcorn, not wanting to have left it at her seat.
