"Marinette" Tikki chimed, "your going to be late!"

"Ok Tikki" Marinette replied while she grabbed her pouch.

Her kwami flew in her cozy pouch with a cookie.

"You can't be late for school again. At least not today." Tikki stated.

This caused Marinette to fill with anxiety. She paused for a moment, thinking about her conversation with Alya just a few minutes before. Alya told Marinette that she was hopeless. That she would never ask Adrien out on a date. So, being herself Marinette said that she would, today in class. She just now realized what her words meant. But, she didn't have time to stop and think. She rushed down the stairs and out of the bakery door.

She raced pass the commotion in the court yard and up the stairs into the classroom. She moved pass the Blond haired boy and sat in her seat next to Alya. The bell had rung but the teacher was nowhere to be found.

Alya gave her friend a nudge.

" Come on Marinette, now or never" she insisted.

"Maybe nows not a good time. The teachers probably right around the corner." Marinette said desperately.

"Now Marinette" Alya continued. " You said you would."

She had really started to resent what she had said when she heard Alya's words. Marinette managed to spit out an "ok." She took a deep breath and started.

"A-Adrien" she said with her usual stutter. This caused her to blush

Adrien and Nino had turned to look at the girl who was fingering her hair.

"Oh no. What have I done?" She thought.

His bright green eyes questioned her with a friendly smile on his face.

Marinette started again, " A-Adrien" she paused." DUCK! " she called out.

At that moment an akuma victim threw the teachers desk against the wall.

"I AM TERROR"

"Great" Marinette thought as she instructed everyone out of the room.

After she thought the room was empty, she raced to the bathroom.

"TIKKI TRANSFORM ME!" She shouted

Adrien was still in the classroom. He crawled under his desk looking for his backpack that got kicked away by his classmates.

He heard the door being kicked open.

It was ladybug!

He had to find plagg now. How could he let his lady face the victim all alone? He was now looking more frantically causing more noise.

Ladybug was dodging all of the kicks that Terror shot at her. This victim was very strong and could cause a lot of damage if she let him. Marinette figured she could hold him off until her kitty was with their with her. She started to wonder where he was. Chat was usually there within a matter of minutes but he was nowhere to be seen.

Ladybug continued to dodge the kicks until she heard commotion under the desk. She backed up to the desk and saw the blond haired boy.

Adrien looked up and saw his Ladybug. Marinette also looked down at her green eyed crush without knowing what she was doing. She froze. Her mouth opened slowly.

The two had locked eyes and didn't no couldn't look away, or could something break the connection?

Adrien stared into Ladybugs eyes when something else caught his attention. His bright green eyes moved to the right then back to Ladybug's.

"MY LADY!" He shouted. He leaped in front of Ladybug and pushed her down.
