Chapter 8

A/N: I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS STORY HAS OVER 3K VIEWS!!! This honestly means so much to me, and I'm so thankful for all of you lovely readers. When I posted this, I thought that no one would read it, and I'm so glad I turned out to be wrong. For my first time writing a fic, or story of any kind, and publishing it, I'd say I did better than I thought I would. What are you doing still reading this? Go and read Chapter 8!

3rd Person POV:

Saturday In Paris

Marinette along with Alix, Luka, Chloe, and Kagami all met up as planned. They all wished to spend as much time with Marinette as possible. Ever since Lila's reign started, Marinette had been a bit more closed off. It was a reasonable outcome, considering how much betrayal she faced. They understood why Marinette has been so cautious towards excepting friendship. Most, if not all, of the people who betrayed her, were some of her closest or oldest friends. 

Marinette may not exactly think of the four of them as her best friends, but they were the closest things to friends she still had. Not considering Tikki, of course. Not that they'd know Tikki was Marinette's Kwami. Or that Marinette had a Kwami for that matter.

They spent the whole day going around Paris. They visited the Lourve and the Eifel tower. They crossed to the Pont des Arts bridge where they came across André Glacé with his sweetheart ice cream cart. It is said that André can see who you are meant to be with, and if a couple eats his ice cream together, they would stay in love forever. Every one of his customers would agree. 

When they came across André he was finishing serving a mom and her daughter. After the mother paid for the ice cream, she and her child waved goodbye to André and headed on their way.

The five teens headed up to André when the pair left, and he smiled at them. "Ah, it is good to see you all. Would you like to pick your flavors, or would you like André to surprise you." The teens smiled at André.

Marinette spoke first, "I'd like you to surprise me, André. Quite a lot has changed since I last had one of your extraordinary Sweetheart Ice Cream Specials. I've been wondering if it's going to be the same flavors as the last time." A chorus of agreements from the others indicates that they'd also like to be surprised.

André already had a waffle cone in his hand, and he motioned for Kagami, Chloe, and Luka to step forward to receive their ice creams first. "Will the three of you be sharing, or would you like separate cones." The three looked at each other and then Chloe spoke. "I think we'll share André." The other two nodded, showing that they also wanted to share the ice cream.

"For the three love birds, orange, blackberry, and strawberry sherbert." André scooped the flavors into the cone and handed it to Chloe, who paid and thanked him for the frozen treat. She, Kagami, and Luka went to the benches in the middle of the bridge and sat down to enjoy their ice cream.

André looked Alix over before his face lit up. He brings out another waffle cone and starts taking out different flavors. "Passion fruit, mango, and pineapple. Three different exotic flavors to represent you and your lovers." Alix smiles a secretive sort of smile. It was small and soft but filled with love. 

The three others didn't notice Alix's smile; they were too busy eating their ice cream. Marinette and André did notice, however. Alix took the ice cream André had offered her and handed him the amount due. She stepped out of the way so Marinette could grab her ice cream.

"Thank you, André." Alix then turned to Marinette and pointed to where Luka, Kagami, and Chloe were sitting. "Mari, I'm gonna go sit with the others. How bout you come to meet us at the bench one you get your ice cream?"
