"Marinette! You came!" Adrien ran over to Marinette.

"Of course I came! This is so cool! Thanks for asking me. This is a dream!" Marinette said without stutter.

Adrien smiled brightly.

"Alright! Adrien, put on the jacket. Miss, what is your name?" The photographer ordered.

"I'm Marinette!" 

"Marinette. Yes, come. This hat you model." He said with a thick accent.

"Yes, Sir!" Marinette said putting on the hat. Makeup artists ran to her side and worked magic. 

"This really is a dream. Somebody pinch me!" Marinette whispered.

"Ow! Not literally!" Marinette squeaked when one artist pinched her arm.

"Marinette in front of the fountain!" The photographer called.

Marinette ran over and sat straight up with a smile.

"No, no. Look a bit left. Cross your legs. Hands in lap. Hmm.. chin up! Downa  little bit. Look away. Twost a bit towards me. Puff your chest! Perfecto! Stay still!" The photographer clicked pictures.

"You're doing great Marinette!" Adrien whispered.

Marinette tried to stay still but her eyes trailed to Adrien standing behind the photographer making faces. She giggled.

"Marinette!" The photographer scolded.

"Oops!" She squeaked and went back to the position.

Adrien stepped behind a nearby tree and Plagg flew out.

"Have you found Ladybug yet?" He asked.

"No. Nobody seems like... Enough! She's just so perfect!" Adrien awed.

"Well I-"

Plagg was cut off by the Photographer calling Adrien's name.

"Plagg hide!" Adrien ordered and ran out.

"Thank you again, Adrien. This was so much fun!" Marinette said.

"Yeah! It was nice having some company. Also, I didn't know you have suh a wicked sense of humor! The strawberries! Haha! The photographer turned RED!" Adrien laughed.

"Redder than the strawberries!!" Marinette giggled, recalling the incident.

Adrien turned to her.

"You know... You remind me a bit of someone..." Adrien said.

Marinette flicnhed.

"L-Like who?" She asked nervously.

"I don't know... Meh, probably nothing. I'll see you around Mari! Bye!" Adrien said happily and ran off.

Marinette stood with relief.

Tikki flew out.

"He called me Mari again! I can't-" Marinette giggled.

"Marinette do you think he has an idea that you're Ladybug?" Tikki cut her off.

"What? Adrien? Nah. Nobody would think me being such an awesome superhero." Marinette sighed.

"You never know, Marinette. Now, have you thought about telling Alya?" Tikki asked.

"Y-Yes." Marinette said.

"And...?" 

"I'm going to... tomorrow. She's coming over while my parents are at some baking convention." Mainette said.

"Alright, but you must be careful. You must make sure she can keep this secret." Tikki warned.

"I know. I trust Alya. Thanks Tikki." Marinette said.

"Alright. You should get to bed, goodnight Marinette." Tikki yawned.

"Night, Tikki."
