Chapter 1: The Mark

Marinette stared, horrified, at the clock. 11:59 PM. In the next minute, she would turn sixteen. She's been waiting for this day her whole life. She also dreaded it. What if my soulmate is disappointed that it's me? What if I don't like my soulmate? What if my soulmate is dead? Marinette tried to push all the bad thoughts out of her mind.

"Don't worry so much Marinette!" Said Tiki, who was hovering above her head, "I'm sure it will all be fine."

"But what if it's not fine Tiki? What if my soulmate hates me? Worst of all...what if it isn't Adrien! If it isn't him, I will have to tell my soulmate I love someone else!"

Tiki sighed. Marinette was so worried about the bad 'What ifs', it was like she'd completely forgotten the good ones....

12 AM. Marinette did nothing.

After a couple minutes, Tiki began to be worried. "Marinette! Look for it!"

"O-okay..." she said, but still did nothing, "You look and tell me!" Tiki shook her head, but involuntarily agreed. Tiki rolled up Marinette's sleeve and gasped.

"Oh my God you found it...is it bad?"

"Well..." Tiki said in a small voice.

"I should've known this would happen."

"What!? Who is it?!"

"Adrien," Tiki said.

Marinette squealed and cheered, but her sudden celebration was interupted, "And Chat Noir on your other wrist..."

"WHAT?!"

The next day at school, everyone circled around her. Including Adrien.

"So?? Spill it girl!" Yelled Alya.

"Yeah! Tell us whose the lucky guy?" Asked Rose

Before Marinette could make up any lame excuse, the teacher interupted and told them to take their seats. Alya raised an eyebrow, waiting for Marinette to tell her. She hesitated, Marinette knew Alya wouldn't give her a break.

"It's-." The teacher sushed them.

Marinette sighed, carless. She stabbed her arm with a pencil, and Alya watched in pure joy as Adrien clutched his wrist right where Marinette stabbed herself. Marinette decided not to tell Alya about her other soulmate-- Chat Noir.

"What's wrong man?" Nino asked.

"I'm not sure, my arm just suddenly hurt."

"Your soulmate must've been hurt!' Nino said.

"My what?"

"If it is your soulmate's birthday before yours, your mark should appear early. And you can feel whatever she feels dude!"

Intiminated, Adrien rolled up his sleeves from under the table where even Nino couldn't see. Yes! A Ladybug symbol! Adrien examined a second marking on his other wrist. Is that Marinette? Adrien wasn't sure exactly what the Mark was tellng him. It was a needle and thread. It only made sense that it was Marinette. He didn't want to hurt his soulmate, but he did the only thing her could think of. He scratchted his wrist with a fingernail.

"Ouch!" Marinette spat under her breath.

Oh my God. Marinette AND Ladybug are my soulmate?
