『Sacrifice』

Chapter 06

We were outside a place that looks like an empty theater. I smile, looking up at it.

"What are we doing here?"

I stop staring at the theater hearing Alya's curious voice.

I look at her, "Alya?"

"Yes?" She raises her eyebrow.

I can feel that pain I felt yesterday, banging against my heart.

"There's something inside there waiting for you, go in and once you're done, come out."

A smile was formed on her face. "Really? Oh, I love surprises!"

Within that second, she ran inside.

I begin running around the other side of the theater to hide. I open up my purse and Tikki popped up and flew up to me.

"Marinette!" She says in her cute, squeaky voice. "What are you planning to do?"

"To make her smile."

Tikki frowned, "Marinette, these days I don't understand you anymore."

I look at her, confused. "What do you mean?"

"I mean, I know there's something bothering you and I don't think it would hurt to tell me!"

"Tikki! Right now I have no time, so please."

Tikki shook her head, "Marinette, are you even listening?"

I look around and then at Tikki, "sorry, Tikki."

I close my eyes and shout, "Tikki!! Spots on!!"

Alya|5:00pm|Outside the theater

I walk outside whilst skipping in a way. I can't wait to tell Marinette about how I had the longest chat ever with Ladybug!!

"Eeeh!" I squeal to myself.

I walk out the theater.

"Marinette, you won't even believe-"

I look around to see that Marinette is not even here anymore.

"Marinette?" I look around, confused. "Marinette?"
