Adrien rang the doorbell and Lila answered the door, Nino and Alya behind her. He looked semi-good. Not how he looked early today at the story. His hair was pulled out of his face in a half ponytail and he wore a black button up with the sleeves rolled up, his scars cleverly covered by makeup, blue jeans and tennis shoes. Nino told him casual, this was what he came up with, well Nooroo. He still wore a scarf, the one he wore today was a black one to match his shirt.

"Adrien? What're you doing here?" Lila balled her hands into fists. She was still mad at him for nearly killing her.

"Uhm ah." He lost all social skills.

"I invited him." Nino smiled and Lila sighed and let Adrien in. He walked into the house and Lila closed the door. She walked away and Adrien stood by the door. he didn't know what to do. He hadn't been out of his house since that morning. Nathanael walked by, seeing Adrien. Nino and Alya didn't know what to do. They hadn't talk at all since Marinettes death. Nathanael walked over to Adrien and smiled.

"Hey Adrien, let's go get you a drink!" He hooked his arm around his neck and dragged him to the kitchen where people were talking and drinking. They were still teenagers, but Adrien. He looked like a full fledged adult compared to them, and even acted like it. Nathanael handed him a cup of, something that had alcohol and Adrien hesitantly took it from him. "You're looking good Adrien." He smiled.

"Uhm, thanks?" He nervously laughed and took a sip of his drink. He had never drank in his life. Nathanael pursed his lips. "W-What?"

"You don't look like yourself."

"How?" Adrien scoffed.

"You just don't look like, Adrien. The happy guy we went to school with."

"He died with Marinette," he muttered and everyone turned their heads to him. they all glared at him and his heart started to beat fast. His breathing hitched. Was this a panic attack? He desperately wanted one. "I-I-I-I-I-I uhm I mean." He couldn't speak. The breath in his lungs had been sucked out and he couldn't form a word. Wasn't this party for her? Why is everyone offended by him saying her name?

"Hey guys!" Alix yelled as she bursted through the door. He took a deep breath as everyone turned their attention to her. She was holding a box. "I got something!"

"Alix, we've discussed this-" she cut off Alya.

"We're talking to Marinette." Alix glared at them as she turned the box, showing an Ouija board. Adrien gulped as she set it up in the living room, everyone sitting on the furniture to get a good look at the bored.

"Alix-"

"Okay so we need at least five people to talk to her," Alix crossed her arms. "I choose Alya, Nino, Lila, Nathanael and myself."

"W-why doesn't Adrien go in place of me." Lila sheepishly smiled.

"Fine," Alix grumbled. The five sat on the ground around the board and Alix told them what to do. They put to fingers on the letter piece and Alix said the words to get to Marinette. The lights flicked on and off and everyone screamed slightly. "Marinette, is that you?" The piece over to 'yes' with no one moving it. "Okay, you guys ask away."

"H-how've you been girl?" Alya asked. The piece spelt something out. C-O-U-L-D B-E B-E-T-T-E-R.

"What are you?" Nino asked. D-E-A-D, I-D-I-O-T. Everyone laughed.

"How old are you?" Nathanael asked. 1-5. She was still the same age she died.

"Can you show us your ghost?" Alya asked. It moved to 'no'.

I-S A-D-R-I-E-N W-I-T-H Y-O-U? Marinette asked.

"Y-yeah he is." Nino said and Adrien gulped. H-A-V-E H-I-M T-A-L-K.

They all looked at Adrien and he gulped. He closed his eyes. "H-Hi Marinette."

"O-P-E-N Y-O-U-R E-Y-E-S."Alya spelt out. He opened his eyes and the ground shook.
