Nino picks  Alya up for their date. He says,  "Alya, Adrien seems ticked off with me."

    "Hmm, that is rather rough, but the strange thing is Marinette seems upset too," Alya remarks.

      "Why can not they just be happy for us?" Alya and Nino say together.

"Nino, you think they do not like the fact we are together?" Alya asks.

"I do not sweetheart!"  Nino answers.

"Ok, well let's just focus on our date!"  Alya says.

"Sounds good to me, Alya!" Nino says.

   Meanwhile, with Marinette...

"Ugh, why does Alya expect me not to be angry?"  Marinette asks.

   Marinette thinks, all Alya ever talks about anymore is Nino this and Nino that well I have had it with this nonsense. She thinks, Alya might be my best friend, but she has not acted like it lately.

 Marinette decides she will refuse to go on any more outings with Nino and Alya.  "I will just tell them I have other plans," She says.

  Now, with Adrien...

"If  Nino thinks I will be a third party in his group again, he can forget it!" Adrien retorts.

"I will not tolerate this anymore.  I am better off on my own. "  Adrien says. He thinks, I might be single, but that does mean I can not find fun to do by myself.

 "Besides, I am sure there is something, I can do to make the most of it," Adrien says.

"There is no way,  I will let this get me down again," Adrien says. He thinks, I better find to do quick, so I won't be so sad," Adrien says.

"I  know, I will go see if Marinette has any plans," Adrien remarks.

  Adrien's text to Marinette

Are you busy?

Marinette's text to Adrien

No, why?

Adrien's text to Marinette

I thought you and I could go on a walk together or something, you know as friends.

Adrien's text to Marinette

Well, what do you say?

Marinette's text to Adrien

Sure, why not?  Just so you know, I will only do this just this once.

Adrien's text to Marinette

Sure, that is fine!

Adrien's text to Marinette

Meet me at the frozen yogurt place at 6 pm!

Marinette's text to Adrien

Sure, see you then!

Marinette thinks, this is kinda sudden.  

"Marinette, want to come along too?"  Nino text to Marinette.

Alya's text to Marinette

Come on girl!  You know it will be so much fun!

Marinette's text to Alya

Have fun with your man without me!  I have my plans tonight!

Marinette's text to Alya

I  am going out for frozen yogurt and a friend of mine will meet me there.

"Tikki, you think the yogurt shop will have strawberry frozen yogurt?" Marinette asks.

"I am sure it will, Marinette!" Tikki says.

"Hope you have fun on your outing!" Tikki remarks.

"I am sure I will Tikki, but thanks just the same!"  Marinette says.

"Goodness, it is almost six already!" Marinette says. She goes to meet up with Adrien.

 Back to Adrien...

"Plagg, time to meet Marinette for some frozen yogurt," Adrien says.

"Ok, but why are you meeting her there instead of picking her up?" Plagg asks.

"This is what we agreed to Plagg, and besides, guys only pick up girls for dates. This is not a date," Adrien explains.

"It is not?" Plagg asks. He thinks to bad because I ship it.  I ship Adrienette.

"Why not?" Plagg asks next.

"It is just something we agreed to do so Alya and Nino will expect us to tag along for their date," Adrien says.

"We are both tired of feeling like an extra while those two have fun all the time, so why not have some fun of our own?   It is not that bad is it?" Adrien asks.

"Well, no!  I suppose having fun is just fine!'' Plagg says. He thinks, I just hope no one gets hurt.

"Oh, no!  I am late!" Adrien says. He hurries out the door with Plagg hidden in his jacket.

With Alyno ...

"Nino, is it odd that Marinette has plans?"  Alya asks.

"Well, yes because Adrien says he is busy tonight too," Nino says.

"You do  not think those two are dating?" Alya asks.

"Nah,  it is probably just coincidental that is all, " Nino says.

"Yes, you are probably right, Nino!" Alya remarks.
