Miraculous One Shot Compilation

Play House

"Marinette!" Alya called out to her best friend "get your butt over here, we're going to spend the afternoon with Adrien and Nino!" The final school bell of the day had just rung, and Alya was bursting with pent up energy. She had been pushing for weeks for the four of them to spend time together, but the stringent schedule Adrien's father placed on him was always ruining Alya's plans. Today was a rare opportunity, and one not to be wasted.

"I can't," Marinette apologised, truly sorry to miss out on this time with her friends. "I promised to babysit Manon today."

Alya was immediately trying to work the 'little detail' into her afternoon's plans, but Adrien beat her to it. Despite him considering Marinette to be one of his closest friends, he felt he didn't know the aspiring designer as well as he'd like, and wanted her to be there for the day's activities. Besides, he remembered Manon from when she'd been akumatized, that girl was more than a handful. Marinette could probably use three more sets of arms and legs. "That's all right, we can help, right?" He looked over to their other friends. Alya nodded enthusiastically, Nino just went along with everyone else.

"Kiss, Manon." Nadja revived a kiss on the cheek from her daughter before heading out the bakery door.

Manon ran over to Marinette and hugged her by the leg. "Who are they?" She frowned at the other teens.

"Manon!" Marinette scolded gently "You know Alya, and Adrien is that boy you had your picture taken with that time. You've never met Nino before, but he's a friend of all of us too."

"Hm, okay." Manon inspected the group "they can play house too." Not considering any more talk necessary, she led the way up to Marinette's room.

Alya sent Marinette a knowing look. There hadn't been enough warning to take down the plastering of Adrien pictures, so the latter's solution was to flip her cork board to face the wall. It looked a little odd, but not too out of place in Marinette's haphazard style.

"I'm going to be the puppeteer!" Manon announced, climbing up on Marinette's chaise and raising her hands grandly above her head "and all of you are my puppets!"

"Don't you want to call yourself something else?" Marinette asked "That was your akumatized name."

"No!" Manon stomped her foot "I'm the puppeteer!"

"Okay, okay." As usual, Marinette easily gave in to the little girl. "Where do we start?"

"The wedding."

"The wedding?" Adrien chuckled "Who's getting married?"

"You!" Manon pointed a yardstick in his face "You're marrying Marinette!"

"Okay, I'm marrying Marinette." Adrien raised his hand in surrender. He looked over to his friend for help, he had no experience dealing with kids. The only one there who had developed any sort of skill in that department was Alya, but she didn't feel like intervening, this was too good.

"Manon..." Marinette groaned, hiding her fiery red face in her hands, this girl was going to be the death of her.

"You stand here, and you stand here..." Manon positioned everyone just where she wanted them. Adrien thought she was acting a lot like the photographers he worked with in his photo shoots. "Okay, time to begin."

After making Adrien and Marinette repeat her child's perspective ideas on what wedding vows should be, Manon announced "You may now kiss the bride!"

When no move was made, she prodded Adrien with the yardstick that no one had retrieved from her grasp. "You must now kiss the bride!"

Adrien placed a light peck on the corner of Marinette's mouth, wich seemed to satisfy Manon. Even if it wasn't a real kiss, it still made Marinette's heart melt, especially in the context of their play acting.
