Teaching Marinette to Dance (ON HOLD!!)

Teaching Marinette to Dance

Authors Note: This was not my original idea. I actually got this inspiration from a comic dub, but for now there is no ending. If you want to watch the dub, i'll put it in the media above. So i'm going to write the ending and rewrite the whole middle, but the main idea I coveted. I don't want to reintroduce all the characters, so if you don't know who the main characters are in Miraculous, I highly recommend you go binge season 1 and what there is of season 2! Also this one-shot is rather long, so get comfortable and enjoy!

Third Person P.O.V:

Marinette sighed as she noticed the posters hanging on the poles of Paris, fluttering in the gentle breeze that ruffled the plants and the hair of the people walking by, stirring leaves along the cobblestone streets. It was another dance.

Marinette's P.O.V:

I hate these wretched dances. The last time I was stupid enough to go, my date ditched me for another girl while I watched from the edge of the dance floor. I had enough sense of self-preservation to not try to dance. I'm pretty sure people would pay me not to dance, i'm that bad. Heck, that's probably why my date ditched me. I was wrenched out of thought when I absentmindedly checked my phone. I was late, again! Miss Bustier was sure to send me to the principals office if I did it again! 

I love being Ladybug, but constantly being late because of having to handle akumas (and Chat's terrible puns) was a definite downside. Only a few moments ago had I purified an akuma and zipped away before Chat could push one more pickup line onto me. Also I had to de-transform and get to school. Crap!

I ran towards my school, my bag thumping on my hip as I skidded around corners, running as if my life depended on it. Which it did! I was almost at the classroom when I ran straight into a wall. I quickly backed up and rubbed my head, only just realizing that it wasn't a wall. It was Adrien! 

"Oh A-Adrien! I'm so sorry! I didn't see you there! I mean, not that I don't notice you, who wouldn't, you're gorgeous- I-I mean, its a gorgeous day?"

Adrien chuckled. Oh my god, I can't believe I said that. I could literally feel my face turn red!

"Hi Marinette! It is a nice day, but it won't be for long if we stay out here and chat (see what I did there)"

 I gasped and hightailed it towards to classroom, remembering that I was still late! I could hear Adrien's footsteps as he ran/ jogged next to me, until we finally reached the classroom.

I slowed down and attempted to return my breathing back to normal while apologizing profusely to Miss Bustier. "I'm sorry that i'm late Miss Bustier!"

Mis Bustier looked at me sternly. Then her face softened and she shook her head. "Go sit down Marinette, Alya will catch you up on what's going on after class. You too, Adrien. You can't keep being late like this!"

"Sorry, Madame Bustier."

I quickly strode over to my seat. My face was still pink, but at least it wasn't the bright red it was before! Alya waved to me and giggled when I sat down. "Hey girl! You missed out on some juicy information!" I assumed it was about Ladybug, it usually was. Alya had a healthy obsession with Ladybug, with her Ladyblog getting thousands of readers every day.

*Le time skip until after class. Alya and Marinette are outside chatting on a bench in the school courtyard.*

"So what is this juicy information that I apparently need to hear?"

"There's a dance happening, and the school has decided that it's a great new way to have physical exercise, so students have to go!  Isn't it great!?"

I groaned and slumped in my seat, a sense of panic in my stomach. "Alya, I can't dance! What am I going to do! And getting a date will be a total nightmare!" I suddenly was full of hope. "Could we go together?"

Alya smirked. "Sorry girl, but i'm already going with Nino. But you know who you could go with? Adrien..." She said in a sing-songy voice.

We both stood up and began walking to our lockers, still chatting about the dance.

"Oh please! Like i'm stupid enough to embarrass myself there, let alone in front of the guy I have a massive crush on!"

Adrien's P.O.V:

"Oh please! Like i'm stupid enough to embarrass myself there, let alone in front of the guy I have a massive crush on!" I heard Marinette say as she and Alya arrived at their lockers. I could hear them from my locker, which was a row away. This was handy because then they couldn't see me and I could listen in onto their conversation.  When they arrived I quickly gave Plagg his camembert and gave him the signal to be quiet. He humphed and flew into my jacket pocket with his precious cheese.

"Come on, it won't be that bad!"

"Alya, are you kidding me? I can run, jump, split, throw and spin, but one thing is for sure. I am waaay too clumsy to dance!"

This information went to the back of my mind, as most information did. If I needed, lets say, a pun for my lady, I would suddenly remember one that I saw on the internet. I shut my locker and walked over to where they were, announcing my presence. "Hey girls!"

I watched as Marinette jumped a mile high. "H-hi Adr-rien!" She stammered. I felt a feeling of disappointment wash over me. She still felt nervous around me, after all this time. I watched as an evil grin spread over Alya's face, adding to my confusion. What was she going to do? 

"So Adrien... have you happened to hear about the dance happening next month?"

Before I answered, I watched in confusion as Marinette's face turned redder than Nathaniel's hair. "I may have heard something, what about it?"

Just as Alya was about the answer, the bell rang, its intrusive noise invading my ears.

"SorryAdriengottagocomeonAlyabye!" Marinette gushed and ran off, dragging Alya by the wrist.

Suddenly the conversation they had had only a minute ago made a lot more sense.

Hi chickies!

So this was gonna be a one-shot but now i'm gonna do another part or two, just because cramming it all in one is difficult  without taking out good parts :) 

Love every one of you!
