HALLOWEEN SPECIAL

"What exactly did you hear Chat? What rumour?" Marinette said in a low voice. Her emotions were a tad on the agitated side, and that made her Ladybug persona slightly show.

"Now now," Chat grabbed ahold of his leather tail and twirled it in his hand. "It's going to hurt my feelings if you lie to me, Princess, but the rumour is that you don't think I'm handsome?"

Marinette breathed out loudly and visibly relaxed. "Damn it, Chat! I thought it was something actually serious!" She scolded him.

"What are you talking about?" Chat held his hands up in defence. "This is totally something serious. I wouldn't be able to live anymore if I knew my Princess didn't find me handsome and clever." Said a pouting Chat Noir.

That's when a wheel turned in the back of Marinette's mind.

'Handsome and clever... Where did I hear that before?' Mari thought.

"Chat, from who exactly did you hear this supposed rumour?" Marinette asked while trying to remember at the same time.

But Chat just shrugged. "A friend of a friend of a friend. That's not important anyways, you still haven't answered my question."

"What question?"

Chat groaned. "You're killing me here, Princess. Do you think I'm handsome and clever?"

"Huh? Oh yeah, sure, of course." Marinette was too deep in thought to actually concentrate on what the kitten in front of her was saying, which she made painfully obvious to Chat.

"Is something the matter, Marinette? You seem... Distracted." Said a very curious Chat.

"No... Nothing's wrong. I just forgot something that's all." Marinette muttered.

"Alrighty, is it anything I can help you with?" Chat offered.

"No, thanks though."  She smiled.

"Hey, Halloween is coming up. You must have something special up your sleeve that your designing, right?" Chat perched himself on the railing of Marinette's balcony and made himself comfortable.

Mari let out a giggle. "Actually, a friend of mine wanted to go as you to a costume party, so I'm making him a Chat Noir suit. Funny isn't it?"

"Well in that case, let me be your muse, Princess." Chat hopped off the railing and started to model his outfit around the balcony, strutting little poses here and there. "I make an excellent model, don't you think?"

"You do have a way of commanding attention. You might make a fine model indeed, Chat Noir. And thanks for your offer, but I've seen your suit enough times to know every little detail, kitty. So I think I can manage all by myself, besides I've pretty much finished all of my sketches." Said Marinette.

"If you say so, Princess." Chat paused for a moment, looking off into the distance at the city they both called home. "Marinette? You wouldn't happen to have a date to this Halloween party, would you?"
