Marinette and Adrien were forced apart. Marinette tumbled backwards.

"I knew you didn't like me, Marinette! Here, dancing with him!" 

Marinette looked up to see Evillustrator, or Nathaniel. He has been akumatized before, but this time it's much more dangerous.

"Stop Nathaniel, this isn't you!" Adrien called.

"You know nothing about me Adrien Agreste. HAH!" Evillustrator drew up a sword and ran at Adrien.

Marinette gasped and ran after them, grabbing a chair, she hit Evillustrator over the head.

Adrien took Marinette's hand and pulled her inside.

"Hide in my room. I have to uh-Go make sure everyone else is secure. Yep. Stay here." Adrien ran off.

Tikki flew out.

"Tikki, spots on!"

-

"Plagg, claws out!"

-

Ladybug ran out, quickly spotting Evillustrator. She ran after him. Quickly, she was thrown off, being hit by something. She looked up to see a-

"LION?! AHHH!" Ladybug screamed and wriggled beneath the large cat.

Quickly the lion was launched off of her.

"I'm the only Cat you need, Bugaboo."

Cat Noir extended his pole for Ladybug. Ladybug chuckled and took it.

"Thanks Cat. The Akuma is in his pen. I remember he can't draw in the dark, try to lead him inside and turn off the lights." Lasybug said.

"But-Uh Someone told me Marinette was hiding in there!" Cat Noir protested.

"Only in Adrien's room. She'll be fine." Ladybug said.

"Okay..." Cat Noir shrugged.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"No more evil doing for you, Little Akuma. Time to De-Evilize!" Ladybug caught the akuma.

The butterfly flew off.

"Pound it!" Ladybug fist bumped Cat Noir. Nathaniel looked up and narrowed his eyes.

"Where am I?!" He looked around.

Lasybug crouched beside him.

"It doesn't matter. What matters is you are safe. You can go home no-"

"Where's Marinette?!" Cat Noir interrupted Ladybug, looking around fretfully.

"Oh! Uh-She's-"

"I'll go find her." Cat Noir raced inside.

Ladybug gasped.

"Bye, Nathaniel! Uh-Stay positive!"

She ran off, only to go around and swing into Adrien's room to de-transform.

Cat Noir swung the door open.

Marinette sat in the corner, looking scared.

"Marinette! Are you okay?!" Cat Noir ran over.

"I'm fine. Thanks Cat Noir." Marinette was surprised at how Cat Noir was acting.

"Good." Cat Noir sighed.

"Wait... Where's Adrien?!" Marinette gasped.

"He's outside! Yup. Nothing to worry about. Now, I gotta bounce. Damsels in Destress, all the jazz. Cat out." Cat Noir sprang out the window.

Marinette giggled.

She raced outside to see Adrien running at her.

"Marinette! Are you okay?!" He hugged her.

"Oh! Uh-I'm fine! Yup! All good! What about you?" Marinette stammered.

"I'm great. I'm just glad you're safe." He smiled.

Marinette turned redder than Tikki.

Adrien looked around to see that everybody had fled from the party.

"This party's a bust." He scoffed.

"It's okay. It wasn't your fault Nathaniel got akumatized. I wonder why..." Marinette murmured.

"Maybe because we were dancing..." Adrien said.

Marinette flinched.

"I don't-"

"He has a major crush on you. Do you like him?" Adrien pressed.

"Me? Oh-He's a good friend." Marinette shrugged.

Adrien nodded.

"Alright, I'll uh-Help you clean up." Marinette offered, grabbing a broom.

"Oh no, it's alright. I couldn't ask you to do any more work. You seem a bit frightened from The Evillustrator. I'll walk you home if you'd like." Adrien said.

"Oh! Sure, th-thanks Adrien." Marinette smiled briggtly.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"Thanks for walking me home, Adrien."

"It was no problem. Hey... I'm having a photo shoot tomorrow in the park and my father wanted me to ask a friend to be in it with me... Would you want to maybe be the cover of the next People magazine with me?" Adrien asked.

And that's where Marinette died.

( Just kidding :3 )

"M-M-M-Me?! Y-You want ME to do a photo shoot with YOU?!" Marinette sputtered.

"Yeah!" Adrien chuckled.

"I-I'd love to!! Thank you, Adrien!" Marinette squeaked.

"Alright then, see you tomorrow. Bye, Marinette!" Adrien smiled and walked off.

Marinette stood dead.

Tikki flew out of her purse.

"Earth to Marinette!" Tikki flew around in front of her.

Marinette wouldn't budge.

Tikki giggled.

"Oh well!"
