A/N: THE ENTIRE CHAPTER GOT DELETED- I WAS RAGING TILL I REMEMBERED THAT I HAD COPY-PASTED IT FROM THE WORD DOCUMENT WHICH I DO TO AVOID THESE MISTAKES IN THE FIRST PLACE rofl THEN I REALISED IT WAS BCS OF THE PIC I KEPT TRYING TO INSERT HERE UGH) 

Marinette's POV

As I was walking to the school l spotted Alya and the boys waiting on the steps. Alya was the first one to notice me and came skipping up to me with snacks in her hands. I just knew I would gain weight during this trip. From what I was told, I wore the biggest smile on my face. Apparently, I was really well-dressed that day too, because Alya's first words were, "All dressed up for Adrien, I see!" I began to blush furiously.

At that moment, Adrien and Nino came over. Adrien was also blushing a deep red as if he had heard it. But he couldn't have possibly heard that! We were all the way over here! Unless he has cat-like hearing, it's impossible.

There was an awkward silence until Ms Bustier called for everyone to line up.

"Listen up class! Once we get onto the coach you will start looking for your name. Your name is placed on the headrest of the seat and you will sit there and buckle up ready. If you're not next to the window you are more than welcome to swap with your partner if you both wish to. Snacks are allowed but since it's just an hour, not many are needed. There will be NO arguing over where you are sat it is boy-girl and whoever you are sitting next to is your partner on the plane. Do I make myself clear?"

"YES, MISS BUSTIER!" everyone screamed in unison.

I almost fell asleep during that little speech but was lucky enough to hear the important notes.

"Ok good, now put your luggage into the boot and go find your seats." And with that, everyone was chucking their luggage haphazardly into the boot. Since I was extremely fast at running (despite my short legs) and quite strong, I was able to chuck my suitcases into the boot from the back of the crowd and run to the coach. I was the first one to get on so I had time to find my seat. Then I found out my seat was right behind Alya, fortunately. Ooh- she was sitting by Nino!

MY SHIP!!!

I put my luggage under my chair and got comfy. I saw Alya rushing to her place but stopped dead when she saw me. She gasped and exclaimed, "How did small Marinette get here so fast? From what I saw, you were at the back of the crowd!" l smirked at her. "I guess my adrenaline kicked in."

She put her bag down, sat in her seat and turned around. "That doesn't make sense but that's normal. Anyways, the person who has the privilege to sit next to me," I stifled a laugh, "is- "

She stopped mid-sentence with wide eyes. "NO WAY!" Ok, no lie- I was concerned. "What?! What is it?!" l asked, turning around to see what happened. But no one was on the bus yet.

What? Now I was confused.

I turned back around to see what Alya was looking at. I followed her eyes until my gaze landed on the name tag on the seat beside me.

"ADRIEN AGRESTE?!" I shouted, a bit too loudly. I noticed Adrien walking down the bus aisle towards us. "Did someone murder me?" He chuckled jokingly.

I slid down my seat. "END ME NOWWWWW!"

Alya just plain out laughed. "No can do. I want to share a cabin with you and tell you what goes on with Nino and I know Agreste here is not going to know anything about that."

Adrien snapped his head and retorted" HEY! I bet I know how to handle lovey-dovey stuff better than you do, Mrs Lahiffe."

By the time he was finished, I was bursting out laughing. "Mrs Lahiffe OMGGG!" I was clutching onto my stomach, doubled over with breathless laughter.

On the other hand, Alya was burning red from embarrassment, yet held her gaze with Adrien. "So, you and my best friend, huh?" she cackled.

It was Adrien's turn to blush a deep red, yet he retorted in the best way imaginable: "So, you and MY best friend then, huh?"

By this point, I had laughed so hard that I was beginning to feel lightheaded. And, Alya had fully slouched on her seat next to a completely clueless Nino.

Adrien sat down next to me and put his luggage under the seat.

After many loud hissy fits from Chloe about 'not sitting next to her Adrikins' (despite the warnings Miss Bustier had issued), the driver started the engine for an hour-long coach ride. But then, oh joy! We had ANOTHER PLANE FLIGHT. Twenty minutes into the ride, Alya had already dug into the snacks and I was getting bored. I spaced out for a while, wondering whether I had made the right decision earlier.

~FLASHBACK~

"Are you sure, Ladybug?" He stared at the small, hexagonal box I had just given him.

"Yes, Luka. Here's why: I am going to be travelling abroad for a while. Chat Noir will be the only superhero left- I think. Everyone else will be abroad too; I have been informed of it. I know Viperion isn't able to purify akumas, so I had this made." I reached deep into my yoyo and pulled out a glass jar.

"This jar has been infused with the power of the miraculous. It is so strong, no one can get through it, not even an akuma. Every time you capture an akuma in here, it gets immediately transported to my yoyo. Leave the rest to me!"

"Thank you, Ladybug! I won't let you down!" Luka exclaimed, a fierce look in his eyes.

"I know you won't." I smiled at him. "I have one more thing to give you though," I pulled yet another hexagonal box out of my pocket.

He stared in shock.

"This is the Chameleon Miraculous (A/N: YES, I MADE IT UP, SORRY). I am believing in you, Luka, to give this to a person worthy of its powers. Just in case. Can I trust you?" (A/N: IF I CAN TRUST YOU 😂. ASoUE? No one??? Oh...)

"Yes, you can, Ladybug. I will make sure no harm comes to Paris!" he took the two miraculous boxes and the jar out of my hands.

"Good to know the city will be in good hands. Bug out!" And with that, I swung away.

~END FLASHBACK~

I reminisced of the patrols Chat and I had, goofing around under the stars- WAIT THAT'S IT!

I got my bag from under my seat and got out my sketchbook and sketching equipment. I ended up drawing a dress based solely on those sweet memories.

(A/N: CREDS TO WHOEVER'S IT IS!)

That was the finished product!

Adrien, to my delight, had noticed the drawing and his eyes went wide.

Adrien's POV

I mean, I know Mari was good, but dang! That's a heck of a dress design. I doubt Father could do better!

Marinette's POV

After a long while of awkward silence, he finally spoke up, "Marinette that design is awesome! I was wondering if l could borrow some sketches from you or you can come with me to see my father about them. He would be able to make you a great business or just give you a simple shout out to help."

OMG DID HE REALLY JUST SAY THAT TO ME?!

"O-oh! T-thanks Adrien, I would be delighted to do that! He doesn't really even need to do anything; a few tips would be enough!" I JUST SAID ALL THAT WITHOUT STUTTERING.

"Nonsense, Marinette! Your designs and craftmanship  skills are enough to get you- well, anywhere you want in life!"

I fought hard to cover the blush slowly spreading across my cheeks.

This is going to be a long trip...

A/N: YAY I PROCRASTINATED!
