By all rights I should still be sleeping, this story woke me up.

I own nothing!

Enjoy!

The seven loved the ocean, and sailing so much, that as a surprise for each other, they all built boats and formed a small fleet together. They called themselves the Miraculous Fleet...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Adrien was a kind boy who grew up the son of a tailor. Gabriel, his father, was almost always busy with new customers, dresses needing to be taken in or let out, things like that, but he always made time for his son. The two were slightly wealthy and did their best to help others when they could.

Adrien was fourteen when the idea of proposing to Lila was, well proposed. Now Adrien had known Lila for many years. But he didn't love her. He dismissed the idea right off the bat, and why shouldn't he? Adrien wasn't in any rush to get married, at least, not to Lila.

Lila was the daughter of a very rich family, and she was very spoiled. Her and Adrien were too different to ever have a good relationship with the other.

But, when he was sixteen things started to go downhill. His father's shop, which had always done well, began to see a decline in income. Then, a year later, people began to actively avoid the shop, and the small family began to hear rumors about themselves.

Adrien knew he couldn't prove it, but he also knew that Lila and her family were responsible. So, on his eighteenth birthday, sucking up his pride, dignity, and personal moral code, Adrien went to the fanciest jeweler he could find and bought a ring.

Knowing that her family wanted a big grand proposal, Adrien waited until Lila's seventeenth birthday party. He danced, mingled, and dropped subtle hints to everyone there that he'd be proposing later.

So that's why when the cake had been cut and presents were about to be opened, Adrien approached Lila. He kissed her hand before getting down on one knee. To everyone looking it appeared that she had a surprised, yet hopeful look on her face but Adrien knew better, her smile was smug and victorious.

"Lila Rossi, would you do me the greatest... honor of... marrying me?"

"Oh of course Adrien!"

The rest of the presents lay forgotten as the newly engaged danced their first dance together. Lila laid her head on Adrien's chest, "You know if you'd done this four years ago, your father's business wouldn't be in the ruin it is now."

"I know Lila."

"Oh, there's no need to be so formal Adri-poo! After all, we're going to be married in a few weeks."

"A few weeks!?"

"Of course. I've been planning this for four years."

Wow. Don't you just hate Lila?
