The Gift: A Miraculous Fanfiction

Epilogue

Adrien sighed as he sat at the table for the banquet dinner. He'd much rather be celebrating his and Marinette's one month anniversary, but instead he was stuck at another boring event, forced to go by his father.

As the evening was finally wrapping up, Adrien stood to say goodbye to all the people at the table. "Goodbye Mr. and Mrs. Bourgeois."

"Goodbye darling," Audrey said, getting up and giving him a hug. "What a wonderful young man to turned out to be. Your mother would be very proud."

"Thank you Mrs. Bourgeois," he replied.

"And you should be proud of her too," the Mayor chimed in. "Do you remember when she was in our movie dear?" he asked his wife.

"Oh yes, she was marvelous," Audrey replied. She turned back to Adrien. "Your father still has a copy of her movie, doesn't he?"

"Yes he does," Adrien told her.

"That's right," the Mayor continued. "I believe that your father and Ladybug are the only two people in Paris who have a copy," he said chuckling.

Adrien blinked at him. "Wh... what do you mean, Ladybug has a copy?"

"She asked us for a one a few months ago. Apparently she had been searching for a while but couldn't find it anywhere. Luckily we were able to track one down for her."

"You were able to track one down," he repeated quietly.

"Yes, we were. And she was so excited when I gave it to her last month. What a lovely young lady," the Mayor commented.

"Well, we should be going now," Audrey said. "Say 'hello' to your father for me darling," she continued as the couple made their way to the door.

Adrien's head was spinning. He had to sit down again.

Why on earth would Marinette ask Ladybug to help her find the movie? And why would she agree to it? That makes absolutely no sense. Unless... no, it couldn't be.

But... those eyes...

A smile slowly crept its way onto Adrien's face.

His mother's movie. The best gift he had ever received.

The gift that kept on giving.
