Marinette had walked into her classroom to see Adrien smiling at her as she entered. She felt her cheeks blush red as she made eye contact with him.

"Good Morning Marinette!" Adrien greeted, smiling wider at her. Marinette smiled widely and started to attempt to respond.

"G-guh mirni. Uh. G-Good Morning Adrien!" He smiled at Marinette, who shakily returned one. Her nervous lips seemed to tremble in her smile. He had decided to tell her what was happening while he waited for her to get here. He never could stand a liar and withholding information like this was just as bad as lying. Adrien had asked Alya and Nino if they would sit together for the day, he started to explain that he has to talk to Marinette, but Alya shushed him and told him it was no problem.

His next thought was out of the blue and completely random… but Adrien could totally see Nino and Alya as a couple. It was weird to think of the two in a romantic relationship, they were friends after all! But the more he thought about it, the better they looked together. Adrien seemed to snap out of his thoughts and motioned to the spot beside him – where Nino usually sits – for her to go to. When he did that, she finally realized Alya was in her seat. Alya had given Marinette two thumbs up and enthusiastically motioned to the seat beside Adrien.

Marinette's eyes widened but she followed with Alya's frantic silent demands and sat in Nino's seat. She wanted to glance at Adrien, but she was too nervous. What if he was looking at her? What if she weirded him out by looking at him? Marinette opened her mouth to ask him why he wanted her to sit next to him, but Madame Bustier ended up walking in and class began.

The class passed by slowly, inching forward like a snail – painfully slowly. Marinette finally steeled her nerves enough to glance his way. When she did, she saw that he was in the process of sliding her a little folded up note of paper. He glanced at her, then down to the paper and glanced at it again. Marinette realized he was passing her a note and she discretely reached over and snuck it to her area of the table before opening it to read.

Marinette could hear Madame Bustier speaking about the importance of metaphors and structure in Shakespearean texts as she opened it.

Marinette, can we talk outside after class?

The contents of the letter made Marinette nervous. What was it that he wanted to say to her? So many bad ideas of what he might possibly say suddenly filled Marinette's thoughts and made her want to hide herself in a hole for the rest of her days.

Instead of doing that, she turned to Adrien and briskly nodded, a nervous look on her pallid face. The smile that stretched on his face surprised her, but what surprised her even more was the sudden excitement that filled her heart. She couldn't wait for class to end.

"Marinette." Madame Bustier calmly called from the front of the room, calling both of the teen's attention to her. "Since you two find it so interesting in keeping secrets from everyone, why don't you two write me a four page analysis essay on Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet and the writing structures he used throughout to make this story affect the readers the way it does. I would like it on my desk by next Tuesday."

Marinette glanced at Adrien and he shrugged lightly to her. Both of them responded simply with "Yes Ma'am". The class continued in silence as Madame Bustier spoke about the symbols And references that Shakespeare wove into Tybalt and Mercutio's characters especially and their interaction.

By the time class ends, Alya is gleaming over the edge of her seat as she watches her two friends leave the room. Alya grabbed Nino's hand and slipped the two of them down through the door and down the corridor their friends followed.

"Alya? Why are you dragging me down the hall and why are we following Marinette and Adrien?" Nino called from behind his, sadly very fast, friend.

"Nino, I think he's gonna ask her out, I need to see this!" Alya replied to his questions, pulling out her phone. "I need to get it on video to win the bet!" Nino recalled the bet. It was between Alya and Kim on whether Marinette or Adrien would stop being oblivious and ask the other out. Kim said that Marinette would ask Adrien first – since Adrien is one of – If not already – one of their most oblivious friends.

Alya stuck strong to the fact that Adrien would ask first. He seemed one to usually take the lead on most situations, while Marinette was a jittery little jumble of nerves and sewing fabric. They could hear voices now and Alya quickly pressed record on her phone as they quietly approached the door so she could get a good camera angle.

"- know where you're from Marinette. My Kwami told me." Kwami? Where she's from?

"I-Im pro-omise you A-Adrien, I don't know what you're ta-alking about!" Marinette's fearful voice replied.

"Don't lie to me Marinette. I hate liars." Adrien's voice held a strain of hurt in it, like he was betrayed.

"I-I…" Marinette trailed off, she didn't want to lie to Adrien, but she couldn't exactly tell him either! What was she going to do? She didn't want to lie to him but she couldn't exactly tell him either. "I-im sorry. I cant tell you! You said you remember right?" Alya couldn't hear anything, so she speculated that that meant Adrien nodded. "Then once you remember everything… come back and I'll explain what happened as best as I can."

"No Marinette! I want to know why us two were taken to this alternate universe!" Adrien almost yelled this, and what he yelled would have stopped Alya in her tracks – had she been walking at that moment.

"Do you want to know the truth?" Marinette asked, a dull sorrowful key to her voice that Alya had never heard before. She glanced to Nino in shock as Marinette began revealing the story of how the two got to where they all stood now.

Alya could only listen in rapt as, her camera catching every detail that she could barely process in front of her eyes. This included the two magical flying creatures who were barely the size of Alya's hand and the awesome story that told of the blonde and the bluenette's predicament.

Marinette wasn't from their universe… does that mean she's an alien? Has she always been from somewhere else? Did she ever really care about Alya and Nino and all of their classmates? If they're from an alternate universe... was this what Marinette even really looked like?

Was Marinette and Adrien lying to them all this entire time?
