The day after Marinette was whisked away as Ladybug to save Cat Noir again was also the day that Nathaniel and Marc decided to confront Marinette with their newest comical scenario for she and Adrien.
"You know," said Marc after he and Nathaniel had explained. "'Cause you missed yesterday."
Marinette facepalmed. "Oh, Marc, Nath, I'm so sorry! I had a- um. . .huge- PARTY! I couldn't miss it because it was for- uh- my. . .great uncle! Yeah, so we had to call him a few times for him to reply because the internet connections sucks in China, so you can imagine that disaster!"
Marinette took a long breath. The boys snickered. Marinette laughed awkwardly.
Nath answered, "Alright, but don't pull what Alya calls a 'Marinette Special' on us today. We actually have the best idea this time.
The bell rang, and Marinette and Nathaniel took off for class. They walked in and Miss Bustier's face looked very dire.
"Class, I have some very important news. I will announce it at the end of class, which actually can be a free period. Just keep the noise level down a bit, okay?"
The class nodded.
Nathaniel drew. Marinette peeked over and asked him, "Can you tell me what the comic scenario is? Pleeeease? Please, Nathaniel?"
Nath smirked. "No, Marinette! Wait until Marc is with us."
Marinette whined. "Fine-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e. . . PLEASE!"
"No!" laughed Nathaniel and continued to draw.
Marinette walked over to Alya. Alya said to Marinette, "We're meeting up at Andre's tonight. You should ask someone."
She nodded towards the middle-ish part of the room.
"Who, Nathaniel?!" whispered Marinette. "Well, I thought we were just buddies."
Alya facepalmed. "I was trying to mean Adrien- Girl, you have become almost as dumb as him. You two are still dating, right?"
Marinette's face lost all color. "We were d-d-d-d-d-d-d-dating?!?!?!?"
"Were you dating, dude?" asked Nino.
Marinette inhaled loosely and said, "Well, we kissed- but, I-I bet it was just a friendly kiss. . ."
Alya and Nino were the ones to facepalm this time.
At Adrien's desk. . .
"Cousin, why are you in such a funk?" asked Felix to Adrien.
Adrien muttered a few things in his head. Because you ruined my life and you're working with the spawn of the actual devil-
"I'm just tired, today, Felix."
"I know that's not true. You seem very. . .very. . .how do you say it. . .pissed?"
"Just shut up, please," growled Adrien. "I'm. Really. Tired. Today."
"Did you and Marinette break up?" said Felix.
"Shut. Up."
