Adrien was so happy to be able to get out of the house without anyone breathing down his neck.

Sure, he had to sneak out and wear a disguise, but it was so worth it. The sun was shining, the bustling city filled with life and no responsibilities that needed to be done. The teen could finally be a normal kid for once.

   Yet, there was just one problem. He didn't know what to do, nor did he know what guys around his age did for fun. He knew regular kids would meet up and hang out with their friends. But, he didn't have or know anyone around his age.

   Adrien just walked down the streets and enjoying his freedom for the time being without a destination. The blonde entered a part of the city with various shops, vending machines and fast-food restaurants. He continued on through and looking at the shops until he spotted one at the side of his eye.

   He backed up a little and saw a small flower shop, displaying many beautiful arrangements and bouquets. An idea popped into his head and headed inside the shop.

A bell tinkled at his entry and began to search for the right flower. An old woman was in the second isle watered some tulips. She looked over at the blonde and smiled kindly. She set her watering can down before walking over to Adrien.

"Hello, young man. Is there any particular flower you're looking for?" She asked. Adrien returned the smile.

"Uh, yeah. I was wondering if you had a rose?" He asked, nervously scratching the back of his neck.

"Oh, I see," the old woman teased, "Who's the special lady?" The blonde's face turned a shade of pink, making the woman chuckle.

"I'm kidding. Yes, we have many different kinds of roses," she said, gesturing for Adrien to follow. The blonde followed the shop keeper to the other side of the shop. She paused in front of a few shelves filled with roses of different colors, shapes and sizes.

Green eyes scanned the various roses until landing on a luscious red one. Adrien reached out and slide the flower out from the vase. He examined it before a smile spread on his lips.

"May I have this one please?" Adrien asked, kindly. The old woman smiled and nodded. The two-headed over to the counter. The blonde paid for the beautiful flower.

"Thank you, madam," the model said, grateful.

"No problem, and you can call me, Marianne," the woman chirped. The two said goodbye, and Adrien left the small flower shop. He walked down the sidewalk with a giant smile while twiddling with the thornless rose in his hands.

   His cell phone repeatedly buzzed, signaling him that someone was calling. Adrien slid his device out of his pocket and paled a little when seeing Natalie's phone number. He accepted the call and held the phone up to his ear.

   "Hello?" Adrien spoke sheepishly into the device. He immediately yanked it away when his guardian began to yell.

"Where are you, Adrien Agreste!" Natalie hissed, heatedly.
