Alya POV

Okay so I am very unsure of what the heck just happened. Marinette just touched the computer screen and this electric shock came out of nowhere.

I crouched next to my best friend on the floor. "Oh my god Mar! Are you okay?" She's staring off into space and for a moment I'm terrified to think we might have to take her to a hospital. "Marinette say something please!"

"I saw him Alya...I saw Mason." She says with a dreamy sigh. "He was so....perfect."

If this wasn't Marinette's natural state on a daily basis, I'm pretty sure I'd be much more concerned. I grabbed her hand and helped her off the ground. I fan away some of the smoke to discover that my laptop was fried. You got to be KIDDING me!

"Was that door opened before?" Marinette pointed over to Nino's dad's office. The door that was secured from a passcoded lock was now wide open. When we looked inside there was a system board on the wall that was in smoke just as bad as my computer.

"Uh oh..." I said inspecting the damage. "I think we might have fried some circuits..."

"Hey what are you girls doing in heeeeEEEERRRRE!!!" Nino freaked out behind us as soon as he saw his dad's technology fried. "What the heck did you guys do?!"

"Nino calm down, it's....not as bad as you think." I tried to convince him to calm him down, but sadly it wasn't working."

"Calm down? CALM DOWN?! ALYA my dad is going to be here any second and you expect me to CALM DOWN?!"

Right on cue, we heard footsteps outside of the apartment and the someone was trying to open the door. We all tensed at the same time knowing that we needed to think of something fast, luckily Nino's dad always took his time trying to get the door open.

"We need you to distract him!" I said quickly before pushing Mari through the door into the office. "Do whatever you can to keep him out of this room."

"How do you expect me to do that?!

"You're a smart guy Nino I'm sure you'll think of something. Can you just please do this for me?" I pleaded hoping that that would be enough to get him to do it and he finally gave in.

"Alright fine, but on one condition." He said as he held up his finger.

"Okay fine, I'll give you free dinner at my mom's restaurant for a month."

"No that's not what I want."

"What is it then?"

"I want you to be my date for the school dance."

With everything that was happening right now, I was thrown off pretty far for him to suddenly ask me out like this. "Wait...what?"

"Clocks ticking." Nino says gesturing towards the front door.

"Okay fine! Just do it!" I pushed him towards the direction of the front door and went inside the room with Marinette closing the door behind us.

Right as the door closes, we can hear footsteps getting closer from down the hall outside. "Hey son, how's it going?" We can hear Nino's dad talking to him right outside the room.

"Everything's good dad, just...chillin." I can already hear Nino struggling to keep his act up, hopefully he can keep it up long enough so we can escape.

"Alright then, well I've got some work to do so I'll be in my office if you need me." I tensed when the footsteps began to get closer.

"Wait Dad!" Nino practically shouted. "You know, you've been working really hard maybe you should take a load off."

"That's nice son, but I really should-"

"I insist!" It sounded like Nino was taking him back into the living room as their voices and footsteps began getting quieter.

For about fifteen minutes we sat in the room in complete silence. Marinette leaned over and whispered. "Do you think he's gone?"

"I'm not sure.." I answered and that's when there was a knock on the door.

We opened it and there Nino stood looking somewhat relieved, but I could tell he was still freaking out a little. I looked over towards the living room and there was his dad sitting on the couch fast asleep while the radio was playing some sort of smooth jazz.

"This track always get him to go to sleep." Nino said, "Works everytime."

"That's great." Marinette whispered cheerfully, then pointed at the office. "Now how do we fix this?"

"Fix it? I don't even know what IT IS!" Nino sounded frustrated.

"Calm down." I rested my hands on his shoulders. "I'll call Max and ask him to meet you here tomorrow. You guys have a free period together right? He'll know what to do."

"Okay fine, let's just get you guys out of here before dad sees you, I'll try to keep him out of the office until tomorrow." We all tiptoed passed the living and right to the front door. "Oh and remember our deal." Marinette gave Nino a thumbs up and went out the door, then he turned to me. "That means you too."

"You know Nino...if you had asked me any other time I would have said yes anyway." I leaned forward and kissed him on the cheek catching him by surprise. "See ya tomorrow."
