Marinette and Adrien walked into the restaurant. It was Christmas eve and Adrien wanted to take Marinette somewhere special. The waiter brought the two to a small booth. 

"Good evening, I am Anthony. I will be waiting for you tonight. May I take your drink orders?" The waiter asked smoothly.

"Yes, I'll take the sparkling cranberry juice, please." Marinette said softly.

"And I'll take a water, thanks." Adrien smiled.

The waiter nodded and walked off, hurriedly.

"Thank you again for bringing me here." Marinette cooed.

"No problem. I feel like we work too much, a little relaxation will do us both good." Adrien said.

Marinette smiled brightly and tapped her fingers on the table.

"What's on your mind?" Adrien asked.

"Is it that obvious?" Marinette chuckled.

"Boyfriends know these things."

The waiter brought their drinks by and turned away quickly.

"Well... I was accepted into a college!" Marinette said.

"Marinette! I'm so happy for you!! What college?" Adrien asked excitedly.

"That's the thing... Adrien. It's in... California..." Marinette murmured.

Adrien froze.

"I'm so sorry..." Marinette whispered.

Adrien dropped his gaze.

"It... It's o-okay... Because I'm going to get into that college." Adrien said defiantly.

Marinette tilted her head.

"What college?" Adrien asked.

"Santa Cruz." Marinette said.

"Oh thank the lord!! I had hoped you would say that, I'm interested in it." Adrien exclaimed.

"We could go to college together!" Marinette squeaked.

"Don't get your hopes too high, I may not get in." Adrien warned.

"I won't... It'd just be nice." Marinette sighed.

"I would wa-"

"Hey there, Baby." Adrien was cut off by two college looking students dangerously close to Marinette.

Marinette narrowed her eyes. Adrien tightened his fists.

"You don't need Pretty Boy here, come sit with us... Maybe after we can go to my apartment for some fun." The blonde one murmured.

"Get lost!" Adrien snarled.

"And what are you going to do about it?" The blonde one scoffed.

"He isn't going to do anything." Marinete hissed.

Asrien's eyes widened.

"Ooh, come on over, Toots." 

Marinette smiled and grabbed the brown haired one's hand then grabbed his finger and twosted it back. He screamed but Marinette covered his mouth and kicked him in the crotch.

They both ran away and out the store calling vulgar names back at her.

Marinette sighed and slumped down, burying her face in her hands.

"M-Marinette..." Adrien murmured.

"I'm sorry... It's just.. Stuff has b-been going on..." Maribette sniffed.

"Y'know... I'm not hungry. Do you want to just go get some chinese food and eat on the Eiffel Tower and talk a bit?" Adrien asked.

"Y-Yes please." Marinette sniffed, pulling out her wallet.

"No. I've got it." Adrien said, putting some money for drinks on the table.

Marinette smiled weakly and the two left the restaurant.
