Hey guys, sorry for having this take so long. It took me a while to get a momentum in writing, but I finally finished it. I hope you guys will enjoy this chapter, as I added a lot to before and after the original episode. I also decided to change the end, as I felt bad for Marinette not being able to give her gift to Adrien. Anyway, like always please RR.

A week had gone by and as Alya promised she told Rose everything she knew about Ladybug and Cat Noir. Rose took interest in the superheroes straight away. This of course made the dark tanned skinned girl happy.

"Hey guys, could you tell me when everyone's birthdays are." Rose said out of the blue.

"Mine is in a few days." Adrien said to her.

"I'll make sure to get you a present by then." Rose said smiling.

"I look forward to it. As I've need gotten presents from friends before, well besides Chole." Adrien said excitedly.

"Really?" Rose asked surprised.

"Yeah, as my dad always had me inside and made sure I wasn't interacting with people much, so when I met Chole we became instant friends." Adrien said.

"That sucks. Are you friends with your bodyguard or your dad's assistant?" Rose asked him.

"Yeah. I am. But they can be pretty over protective." Adrien said.

"So, when is your birthday, Alya?" Rose asked her.

"Towards the end of the year and it's the same with Nino." Alya said.

"What about you Marinette?" Rose asked the bluenette.

"Mines in the middle of the year." Marinette said.

"Same here actually." Rose said smiling.

They continued to talk about birthdays until the bell went for class.

As the days were passing Rose was having trouble thinking of an idea for the blonde boy, as she hadn't known him for long.

Rose walked up to Adrien when class had finished and made sure he was alone.

"Hey Adrien. Could we talk?" Rose asked him.

"Sure. What about?" The blonde boy asked her and they both sat at his and Nino's desk.

"We'll, I've been having trouble with coming up with a present for your birthday. And I thought I would come to you for ideas, as I still don't know you overly well." Rose said to him.

"I'm happy that your thinking carefully about my gift, it shows me that you really care for me as a friend." Adrien said smiling.

"So, what are you into? What are your interests?" Rose asked him.

"Well, I do fencing, Chinese, piano and photo shoots. But I really like Ladybug." When Rose heard this, she was shocked and Adrien soon noticed the look and began to blush.

"Sorry, it just slipped out, but I guess the reason why I told you was probably because I feel comfortable around you, as you don't seem like a person who would judge people. And from what I heard you live similar to what I do." Adrien said.

"What do you mean?" Rose asked him confused.

"Well, I heard from Nino and Alya that you don't see your father and mother much, as they are always on business trips and that you have the staff in the mansion to look after you. My life is similar to that, but my mother passed away and my father doesn't pay attention to me and has me locked away in the mansion. But Nathalie managed to convince him to let me come here." Adrien explained.

"My condolences for your mother. But for me the staff under my father are another family to me, as they always played with me, even though they had work. They even bring their families to the mansion for dinner from time to time. So, I was never really alone, but the absence of my parents can be noticed. At times the staff can't cure the ache for my parents. They come see me for holidays and when they aren't on the business trips. But even now I really miss them. But I was calm to come here and meet you guys." Rose said smiling at Adrien.

"I'm glad to hear that." Adrien said smiling back.

"Maybe you could come to my place for dinner sometime." Rose suggested.

"That actually sounds good, but I'm not sure if my father would permit it." Adrien said with a sad expression.

"I'll see if my father's right hand man could convince your father to let you come for dinner at my place very so often. I could also have our friends join us." Rose said smiling.

"Good luck, but my father is very stubborn. But I would really look forward to seeing that happen." Adrien said with a small smile.

"So, for your present, you want something Ladybug related?" Rose asked him, as she decided to switch the conversation.

"Yeah. I would be interested to see what you would find or even make." Adrien said to her.

"Well, I'll see what I can do. But thanks for talking with me, it really helped me with ideas." Rose said to him.

"I'm glad I could help." Adrien said smiling.

"Well, I better get to work with your present, so see you later, Adrien." Rose said to him, as she grabbed her bag and went to the door.

"See you, Rose." Adrien said before she left the classroom.

A few days later, it was Adrien's birthday. Rose had decided on a bracelet which was Ladybug themed and had a gem with Ladybug's yo-yo.

As Adrien entered the classroom, Rose went up to him and give him his gift.

"Happy birthday, Adrien. As promised I got you a present and I hope you will like it." Rose said to him, as she handed him his gift.

"Thanks Rose." Adrien said, as he went over to his desk and began to open the gift.

Adrien saw it was the bracelet and he smiled softly at her.

"I love it! So, thank you." Adrien said before putting the bracelet on.

"I'm glad you like it. I wasn't sure if you want to wear the bracelet in public, as it seemed kinda girly for a boy." Rose said to him.

"It doesn't matter to me, as it was a present from a friend." Adrien said smiling, which caused Rose to smile too.

Soon everyone was walking into class and Rose saw Marinette carrying a thin blue present with a pink ribbon around it. Rose knew by looking that it was for Adrien, but she wasn't sure on how the bluenette was going to give it to him, as the poor girl always stammered when she talked to him.

"Awesome bracelet, dude." Nino said to his friend.

"Thanks. Rose gave it to me for my birthday." Adrien said grinning.

"That was awesome of her." Nino said smiling.

"Yeah, it was." Adrien said before the teacher walked in.

Time went by and it was the lunch break. Rose saw that Marinette was still haven't given her present to the blonde boy, as she didn't have the confidence.

Rose walked over to the two girls, as she was wanting to help the bluenette out.

"You can do it. You can do it." Alya said in encouragement.

Rose heard the conversation between the two boys and she felt bad for Adrien, as he deserved to celebrate his birthday with friends.

"I can do it. I can do it." Marinette repeated the words to give herself encouragement.

Rose heard Nino saying that he was going to try talking to Adrien's dad, which caused her to go over to them.

"Hey Nino, do you mind if I come along?" Rose asked him.

"Sure! I would like to have the support." Nino said smiling.

At the corner of Rose's eye, she saw Alya push Marinette over to them, but she almost tripped in the process, but she quickly straightened up.

"Hey…" Marinette said shyly with a small wave.

"Hey." Adrien said smiling at her.

Marinette began to stammer, as she was trying to say the words. But when she was, Chole walked over and waited a few seconds before pushing the bluenette away.

Rose quickly reacted and caught Marinette, but in the process they both fell to the ground.

"You okay, Marinette?" Rose asked her, as Chole was talking to Adrien.

"I'm good. I should be asking you that. As you did break my fall." Marinette said, as she got off Rose.

"I'm fine. So, you don't have to worry." Rose said smiling, as Marinette helped her up.

"You should hurry and give Adrien his present, as his bodyguard will pick him up any minute." Rose said to her, but as she said that a white limousine honked and pulled in front of the school.

"Oops. I may of accidentally jinxed you, Marinette. Sorry." Rose said to the girl.

"No sweat. We'll go deliver it to his place." Alya said.

"Okay. I'll see you guys later." Rose said to them, as she walked over to Nino.

"Do you mind if we wait for my caretaker and driver?" Rose asked him.

"Sure. It will cover less time if we do that." Nino said.

"Well, that was my plan." Rose said smiling.

They waited not to long before Rose's caretaker and driver drove up to the school in the white car that she recognised.

Ethan stepped out of the car and looked over to the two of them.

"Hey Ethan, do you mind if we go to the Agreste mansion?" Rose asked him.

"What is this for Mistress?" Ethan asked her.

"It's for business and I would like my friend Nino to join us, as he has business with Gabriel Agreste as well." Rose said to him with a serious tone.

"Of course. Hop in both of you." Ethan said to the both of them.

"Wow. Your caretaker is so cool, Rose. He's much better than Adrien's bodyguard." Nino said, as he went inside the car.

"Well, he's more than my caretaker. He's also my friend. So, he does whatever he can to help me out." Rose said.

"We're going to the Agreste mansion, Leon." Ethan said to him.

"Okay. I'm on it." Leon said, as he began to drive towards the Agreste mansion.

"Could you give me a bit of info on what you are doing." Ethan asked.

"Well, Nino and I are wanting to try change Gabriel's mind on Adrien having a birthday party. But I have other business with him. As I want to convince Gabriel to let Adrien have dinner with us a couple times a week, as he always eats alone." Rose said to him.

"That's very kind of you, Mistress." Ethan said smiling.

"Could you help me with this?" Rose asked him.

"Of course and I will do my best to help out." Ethan said to her.

"Thanks so much, dude." Nino said grinning.

"It's my pleasure." Ethan said.

Soon they arrived at the Agreste mansion and Leon parked at the front of the gates.

"Leon, do you mind staying in the car?" Ethan asked his friend.

"Sure. I'll wait here until you guys get back." Leon said with a smile.

Rose, Nino and Ethan got out of the car and walked up to the gates.

Rose saw a doorbell next to the gates.

"So, do you want to ring the doorbell?" Rose asked Nino.

"Sure, why not." Nino said, as he walked up to the doorbell and pressed it, which made a buzz sound.

A few seconds later a camera popped out of the wall and stared at the three of them.

"Yes?" A woman's voice spoke to them.

"Hi. My name is Ethan. My mistress and her friend would like to speak with Mr. Agreste, as they have business with him." Ethan explained.

"One moment." The woman said, before the camera popped into the wall again.

A moment later the camera came out from its spot. "You may come in." As that was said the gate opened, to give the invitation of letting them in.

Ethan, Rose and Nino walked inside, before making their way to the door of the Agreste mansion.

A woman in a black business suit, a red turtleneck collar shirt and black heel shoes. She had black hair, but at the tips of her fringe were red, her eyes were a blue colour, her skin was pale and she had black and red striped framed glasses.

They walked inside the mansion and stopped halfway away from the stairs.

"He'll be here in the minute." The woman said to them.

"Adrien's not home yet." Gabriel said, as he walked to the top of the stairs, in front of the portrait of himself and Adrien.

"We were coming to see you, dud-sir!" Nino said, but had to quickly correct himself.

"Let me handle this, Nino." Rose said to her friend and Nino give a smile and nodded.

"Me?" Gabriel questioned.

"We would like for you to grant Adrien's wish of having a birthday party, as he feels upset for not being able to celebrate with his new friends on his birthday. So, could you please grant him that, as it would make him happy." Rose spoke to Gabriel with a serious tone.

"No, that's final!" Gabriel said with a straight face.

"Why can't you? He's been doing really well in school. He doesn't screw around with his studies or in school. He does anything you tell him to do. So, he deserves to have a birthday party for his good behavior." Rose said to the man, but she became slightly annoyed by him.

As Rose was saying this, Adrien had walked through the door and he was surprised to see his friends there.

"Nino? Rose? You're both here." Adrien said, as he was still slightly surprised.

"Anything for my best bud." Nino said to him smiling.

"I wanted for you to have a proper birthday, but you're dad is pretty stubborn." Rose said to him, as she was still staring at Gabriel.

"Forget it guys, really it's fine." Adrien said in a sad tone.

"Listen you two, I decide what is best for my son. In fact, I just decided you both are bad influences and you are not welcome here in my house ever again! Leave now!" Gabriel shouted at them.

"Father! They were trying to do something cool for me." Adrien tried to defend his friends.

"Goodbye." The woman said, as she stepped in front of them.

Rose was now really annoyed and now her anger was rising fast.

"What is wrong with you!? You should be making your son happy! But you are just trying to ruin his life instead! How can you be his father, if you won't let him have a party?! That is just wrong! As every child deserves to have a birthday party to remember! Why won't you let him have that!?" Rose yelled at the man in anger.

Her anger surprised most of the people in the room, well everyone but Ethan.

Gabriel regained himself, before speaking. "How dare you question my decision for my son! I know what is best for him!"

"Yeah right! You are just separating him away from the world! But have you ever thought about how your son feels about those same decisions? I bet you don't! All you are doing is making him miserable! He feels so lonely!" Rose yelled out, as tears began to appear in her eyes, as she could feel her own loneliness from when her parents were away.

"Do you ever notice this?... I bet you don't… as you are so busy with your work… but having you not in his life… your bond with him is fading because of it!" Rose added, as she was getting more emotional by the minute, but Ethan was there to calm her down, as he rubbed her shoulders softly.

"With all due respect Mr. Agreste. But I think that having a birthday party for your son is in your best interest for not just you, but for your son. As you can't always shield him from the world. As he is a curious boy." Ethan spoke up.

"My is still a no! Now leave!" Gabriel shouted.

"Not so fast Mr. Agreste. We have one more thing to address." Ethan said calmly.

"What is it now!" Gabriel yelled annoyed.

As the conversation was going on, Nino had left heartbroken, as the party wasn't going to happen. Adrien on the other hand walked over to Rose and did his best to comfort her too.

"My mistress and I would like to request that your son comes to spend dinner with us a couple times during the week. As my mistress doesn't want to have her friend spend dinner on his own." Ethan said to the older male.

"How many times do I have to say it! It's a no!" Gabriel shouted once more.

"Father please! I don't like always eating by myself all the time! Even when we eat together, we hardly speak… I want to be able to talk to someone about things over dinner! So, please let me!" Adrien spoke to his father.

Gabriel sighed in annoyance. "I'll think about it…"

After that Gabriel walked off.

"You okay now?" Ethan asked Rose in a soft voice.

"Yeah. Thank you, Ethan." Rose said to him smiling.

Out of nowhere Adrien hugged Rose, which took her by surprise.

"Adrien?" Rose said in confusion.

"Thank you for standing up to my father. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to speak up and tell him what I felt. But I'm sorry for anything that my father would have said to you that made you upset. But I do appreciate what you did for me, as you are a kind hearted person." Adrien said smiling and with that said, Rose hugged Adrien back.

They soon pulled away and Adrien turned to the woman. "Nathelie, could you please try convincing my father to letting me go Rose's for dinner during the week."

"I'll see what I can do." Nathelie said to him with a small smile.

"Hey Rose, would you like to stay for lunch?" Adrien asked her, which caught her slightly off guard, but she soon realized that Nino was nowhere to be found.

"Adrien where's Nino?" Rose asked him worried.

"He left." Adrien said to her.

"Shouldn't we go out to find him and make sure he's okay?" Rose asked him.

"Mistress, I'll go find him, you just stay here and spend time with your friend." Ethan said to her.

"Are you sure?" Rose asked him.

"I'm sure. So, don't worry." Ethan said smiling before leaving.

"Nathelie, could you please ask the chef to cook up and extra meal?" Adrien asked her.

"Of course, Adrien." She said to him.

"Come on, Rose. I want to show you my room." Adrien said excitedly and the both of them went upstairs to his room.

Outside of the Agreste mansion, Ethan walked over to the white car and hopped into the passenger side.

"Where's Rose?" Leon asked him.

"With her friend. But the boy from earlier ran off, so I said to mistress that we would go find him." Ethan explained.

"Well, I saw him go that way." Leon said, as he pointed the direction of where Nino went.

Leon drove them around the city and after awhile some weird purple bubbles were floating in the air. Leon stopped the car and both men stepped out of the car to get a better look, but before they knew it they were picked up by the bubble and began to fly up.

"What's going on?" Leon asked confused.

"I have no idea." Ethan said to him.

Back at the Agreste mansion, Adrien and Rose were eating lunch together.

"I'm really happy that we can eat lunch together." Adrien said smiling.

"Same here. As you should have something good today." Rose smiled.

They finished lunch and they made their way outside. As they got outside a group of their classmates were cheering, surprising both of them.

"Hey, hey birthday boy. Guess what, daddy's gone, while cats are away, the mice will play." Adrien and Rose looked up to see a colourful figure standing on top of the wall.

"Nino?" Adrien asked, as he recognised the voice.

"Wait, that's Nino?" Rose asked confused.

"The Bubbler has brought all of your homies together for one single sole purpose to celebrate!" The Bubbler explained.

Everyone began to cheer again and the Bubbler jumped from the wall to the music booth. "Let's get this party started!"

The Bubbler began to play music, but Adrien had grab Rose and they ran inside.

"Adrien, do you know why Nino's like that?" Rose asked him, as they had made it to his room.

"I think after he left when my father shot the request for the birthday party down, he was heartbroken. So, Hawkmoth must of used his negative emotions against him and akumatized him to the Bubbler." Adrien explained.

"So, what are we going to do?" Rose asked him.

"I think it would be best to play along until Ladybug and Cat Noir show up. But I might take this opportunity to have fun with having a birthday party, even though my best friend is akumatized." Adrien said.

"Okay." Rose said with an unsure tone.

"Is something wrong?" Adrien asked her.

"I wanted you to have a birthday party, but having it like this doesn't seem right to me." Rose said to him.

"If things get out of hand, we will come back here." Adrien said to her smiling.

"Do you promise?" Rose asked him.

"I promise." Adrien repiled.

"Okay, let's go out and 'party'." Rose said smiling.

"Right." Adrien nodded before they made their way outside again to join their classmates on the dance floor.

As they were on the dance floor, Rose could see that everyone wasn't happy.

'I don't like this at all.' Rose thought to herself.

Rose soon saw Chole and Sabrina at the music booth and she had a feeling on what they were trying to do.

Soon the music changed to slow dance music and Rose found her cue to exit the dance floor, so she went to the buffet to get away from the dancing couples.

Rose got the buffet and she looked up to see Ladybug land on the wall behind the buffet, making her smile but she looked back down so she wouldn't blow Ladybug's cover.

The music was changed to a much happier upbeat song and everyone separated to dance on their own, meaning Ladybug did something.

Before long Marinette came through the gate and over to the buffet table.

"Hey Marinette." Rose greeted her, as she walked over to the girl.

"Hey Rose." Marinette said, as she was putting some cookies in her handbag, which confused Rose.

But before she could ask Alya had walked over to them.

"Where have you been girl? I was so scared that something that happened to you." Alya said, as she hugged Marinette.

"Me too." Marinette answered as she hugged her friend back.

"I'm sure Ladybug and Cat Noir will show up in a minute to save us all, they have never failed us. Meanwhile come with me, I've got something for you." Alya said to the bluenette.

"There is something I have to do first." Marinette repiled.

"It's about Adrien~" Alya said in her.

"Okay…" Marinette sighed.

Rose soon heard a high voice coming from somewhere nearby.

"Hey Marinette, did you hear a high pitched voice speaking?" Rose asked her friend.

"Um... no. Anyway, I better follow Alya." Marinette said, as she quickly followed the other girl, making Rose curious to what that voice was.

Rose turned to see that the Bubbler was talking with Ivan and she had a bad feeling, so she ran over in between them.

"Nino, please don't hurt him." Rose said to him.

"But he's not having fun like everyone else." The Bubbler spoke.

"Please understand that you did force everyone to be here against their will and that isn't okay, even you know that." Rose said.

"Didn't you want for Adrien to have a birthday party too? Or have you suddenly changed your mind because of his dad?" The Bubbler asked her with anger.

"No. It isn't like that. It's because I want for everyone to not be forced to have fun, as they should be having fun naturally. I also want you to be the normal Nino that we all know." Rose said to him honestly.

"Well, sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I'm staying the Bubbler and both of you can join the adults!" The Bubbler said, as he got out his bubble wand and flicked it towards them.

Rose dodged the attack, but Ivan was unlucky and he was in a green bubble that started floating up.

Rose ran over to Adrien. "We need to move!"

"Why?" Adrien asked confused.

"As the Bubbler is after me and he already trapped Ivan in a bubble that is now floating up in the sky." Rose explained to him.

"Okay." They ran inside and to his room.

"You can hide in the bathroom." Adrien told Rose.

"What about you?" Rose asked him confused.

"I'm going to hide in my father's office and so I can watch the fight between Ladybug and Cat Noir, but I'll be back to get you once Nino is back to normal." Adrien explained to her.

"Okay. Be careful." Rose said to him.

"I will." Adrien said smiling, before closing the bathroom door.

After a couple minutes or so later, Adrien had come back to tell Rose the news.

"Is everything back to normal?" Rose asked him.

"Yeah. Nino is back to his normal self." Adrien said smiling.

"Thank goodness." Rose said smiling.

"We should get back to school for the rest of the day." Adrien said.

"Yeah. We probably should." Rose said in agreement and they left the mansion.

Later that day during the evening, Rose was in her room typing on her computer of a story that she had been working on.

Out of nowhere the doorbell rang and Rose left her room to see who was at the door and she was surprised to see Adrien there with his bodyguard and Nathelie.

"Oh mistress, I was about to go get you." Ethan said when he saw her walk down the stairs.

"Hey Adrien. What brings you here?" Rose asked him.

"My father gave my permission to come over for dinner, as it was a birthday wish of mine." Adrien explained to her.

"That's great! I'll message our friends to come over right away. As we need to celebrate your birthday properly and that is with friends and family." Rose said excitedly.

"I'll get the chefs to make a feast for this and a cake too. Any preferences?" Ethan asked Adrien.

"A passion fruit cake." Adrien said.

"Very well." Ethan said, as he left to inform the chefs.

Rose on the other hand was messaging their friends about the last minute plans.

Rose soon finished and turned her attention back to Adrien.

"Let's go to the lounge area and talk." Rose said, as she led them to the room.

As they sat down, Nathelie began to speak. "Mr. Agreste was wanting to inform you that Adrien will be coming here for dinner on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday nights."

"I'm glad that he is letting Adrien come here for dinner." Rose said smiling.

About 20 minutes later, the doorbell rang and Rose knew who it could be.

"I'll be right back." Rose said to her other guests, as she left the room to meet with the others.

Ethan had opened the door and Rose saw everyone from their class and including Chole.

"Hey everyone, I'm glad you could come last minute. If you could follow me." Rose said to them.

"Why should we do as you say!" Chole said with her normal attitude.

"Well, don't you want to know where Adrien is?" Rose asked her.

"Of course I do!" Chole said.

"Well then, I suggest you follow me then." Rose said, as she led them to the lounge area.

"Mistress, dinner will be ready in half an hour." Ethan said to her.

"Okay, thank you Ethan." Rose said smiling at him.

Everyone walked over to Adrien and they said 'Happy Birthday' to him, before giving him a present.

Nathelie was the last one to give him a gift, but Rose saw it as Marinette's gift.

"Here Adrien. This is from your father." Nathelie said, just made Rose quickly but in.

"Sorry to disappoint, but that is actually a present from Marinette." Rose spoke up.

"She's right. As Marinette delivered it earlier to have it given to him." Alya said to support her friends claim.

"But it's not signed, so you can't say it's from her." Nathelie said.

"What did his dad give him then? As he would have told you, wouldn't he?" Rose asked her.

"Um… ah…" Nathelie said, as she was trying to get something out.

"What about you, Marinette? What did you make him?" Rose asked her.

"I made a blue scarf." Marinette said with a small blush.

"Go open the present Adrien and we will see who is right." Rose said to him.

"Okay." Adrien said, before opening it to indeed see a blue scarf inside.

"Wow Marinette. It's amazing." Adrien said smiling, as he put it on.

"T-Thanks…" Marinette said with a small stutter.

By now Nathelie looked ashamed and embarrassed, but Adrien didn't question her.

After some time, Ethan had come in to tell the group that dinner was ready. Before anyone ate, Rose decided to do a small toast.

"Before we eat, I would like to say a special happy birthday to Adrien and that since this is his first birthday celebration, that we should enjoy it to the fullest." Rose said smiling.

"Cheers to that!" Nino said grinning.

"Cheers!" Everyone else said before digging into their food.

Once everyone was finished with dinner, the maids had cleaned up the table and Ethan had came in with a cake that was layered. It was three layers, the cake was covered in white frosting and on top was a message written in green frosting and read 'Happy Birthday, Adrien!' and also on top was green candles.

As the cake was being brought in everyone began to sing.

"Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to Adrien! Happy Birthday to you!"

After the song Adrien blowed out the candles and everyone cheered.

For the rest of the night was enjoyable and fun for the whole group, but soon everyone had to go home to sleep.

Once everyone was gone, Rose retreated to her room for the night. Her last thought before going to sleep was 'Today was a good day and I'm glad we could celebrate Adrien's birthday.'
