    "Plagg, you are missing the point," Adrien remarks.

"What might that be exactly?" Plagg asks.

"She hurt me when she rejected me as Adrien," Adrien says.

"Hmm, do not worry I am sure everything will turn out fine. She will come around, "Plagg says. He thinks, at least I hope so anyway.

    Marinette leaves her house and thinks, Hmm, now what?

    

       A boulder rolls down a hill towards Marinette!  Adrien who is nearby calling out, "Marinette, watch out!" He knocks her down out of the way and saves her.

"M-Marinette, are you okay?" Adrien asks.

"Adrien, you saved me, why?" Marinette asks.

"I could not just let you die from the boulder crushing you!" Adrien says.

"I am sorry, for everything!" Marinette blurts out.

"Marinette, I would never forgive myself if I ever lost you!" Adrien says as he hugs her.

"What is it? Is there something on my shirt?" Adrien asks.

"No, it is just since you saved my life, I owe you now," Marinette says.

"M-Marinette, that is not necessary," Adrien protests.

"Oh, but I insist,"  Marinette remarks.

"Ok, then what is it?" Adrien asks.

"You will see!" Marinette says. She kisses him on the cheek and Adrien blushes.

"Wh-what was that for Marinette?" Adrien asks.

"Well, come on my hero!" Marinette says.


   Marinette enters a restaurant. Adrien follows her.

"Do not be shy, your table is ready!" A waitress says and leads them to an empty booth.

     Nino walks past the restaurant with Alya and sees them.  "Do not look now, Alya but Adrien and Marinette are eating together," Nino says.

"Haha, very funny, Nino!  Everyone knows Marinette can not stand him," Alya says.

"Believe me or not they were together in the pizza place over there!" Nino remarks.

" I would not get your hopes up if I were you," Alya says.


with Adrien and Marinette in the restaurant...

 Adrien thinks why did she insist on this and sighs as he thinks about cute she is to him.

"What kind of pizza should we get?" Marinette asks.

"I like pepperoni pizza, but if you do not it is okay," Adrien replies.

"Pepperoni is fine," Marinette says.

"What would you like?" The waitress asks.

"One large pepperoni pizza and two glasses of water," Marinette says.

"Ok, the pizza will be ready in twenty-four minutes," The waitress replies. She walks off and thinks, I wonder if he is the girl's boyfriend.

"M-Marinette why do you think you owe me anything?" Adrien asks.

"You saved my life!" Marinette repeats herself.

"I know, but I..." Adrien blushes and thinks can she not see how hard this is for me?

"I am just grateful for the opportunity to spend time with a friend," Marinette says.

"Mari, I am sorry, I should never have agreed to this," Adrien says.

"Do not be silly, my hero!" Marinette says, then winks at him.

"I am just a stupid guy with a crush on the only girl in love with Chat!" Adrien blurts out.

"Adrien, you are not stupid, I am the one who is stupid..." Marinette says.

   "Here is your order!"  The waitress says as she sets the plates, napkins, drinks, and pizza on the table in front of them. She walks away again.

"Let's just eat before the food gets cold," Adrien says.

"Ok, sounds good!" Marinette says. She says the blessing.

   Marinette starts to eat a slice of pizza. Adrien stares at her as she eats the pizza, and thinks I love you so much;  I not sure what to do.

   Adrien finishes his second slice of pizza.  "Got to go, see ya!" Adrien says.

    Marinette pays for the food and blushes a little.


Now, on his own, Adrien thinks why did she take me out for lunch?
