Chapter Five- Phone Call
"We all look SO good!" Alya says.
"Uh, duh!" Marinette agrees, their argument over Uno long forgotten.
Chloe had to agree. Who knew Juleka and Rose were so good at make-up?
"Meh, It's whatever." Alix shrugs.
"Oh, come on. You know you love it." Mylene smirks. Alix rolls her eyes and goes back to admiring herself in the hand mirror.
"Now, Face masks!" Rose squeals.
Everyone goes by Juleka's mirror, taking turns in putting on their facemasks. They all sit down again, Rose's head in Juleka's lap and Chloe next to them and Marinette.
"Now," Alya smirks. "Time for Truth or Dare."
Marinette's face falls. "No."
"Yes."
"I hate that game."
"We're playing it." Alya says. "Back me up, girls."
"Come Marinette, what's the worst that could happen?" Mylene says.
"Something that has to do with Adrien?" Marinette points out. "You might dare me to confess!"
"Would that honestly be the worst thing to happen?" Alix smirks.
Marinette thinks about it for a moment. "I guess not?"
"Atta girl." Alya smaks her knee. "Now, Marinette. Truth or dare?"
"Truth."
"Damn it. Ummm, What was the worst hairstyle you ever had?" Alya asks.
"Oh, so in second grade, on picture day, I wanted this super big bun, but I thought I could do it by myself. Boy, was I wrong. I got a hairbrush stuck in my hair and we had to cut it off, but the only apointment we could go to was after school, so I had to go through picture day, where all the other girls had their nice straight hair, or braids, or high ponytails that their parents had made, while I was stuck with a rat's nest."
"Damn!" Alix exclaims.
"Oh man that must have sucked." Juleka mummbles.
"Okay, Rose. Truth or dare?" Marinette asks.
"I'll go with dare!"
"Let me think...OOH! Have you and Juleka kissed yet?"
Both girls blush. "Wh-what?
"Come on, you've been dating for like two months." Mylene says. "Me and Ivan kisses almost instantly."
"W-well, we uhh, have tried taking it slow..." Juleka stutters.
"B-but we have..." Rose admits. All the girls go "aww."
"I swear, you two are one of my favorite OTPs." Alya says.
"Okay, umm, Sabrina." Rose says. "Truth or dare."
"...I'll go with dare."
"Prank call someone!"
Sabrina's eyes lit up. "I've always wanted to do that!" She instantly dials the number to a pizza place and puts it on speaker. The phone rings a little while the girls giggle and lean in.
"Hello, Papa John's What is your order?"
"Hi, we have been trying to reach you about your car's extended warrenty." Sabrina starts. The girls try to hold back their laughter.
"Fucking hell, they find me everywhere." The voice was muffled as if the person on the other line was blocking the mouth piece. "I don't have an extended warrenty, go away." The phone beeps, and the screen turns red, signaling they hung up. Everyone starts wheezing again.
"That was a good one, Sabrina!" Alya says.
"Yes!" Sabrina pumps the air. "Okay, okay. Alix, truth or dare."
"Dare, duh."
"Take your face mask off."
"But it's not dry!" Alix blushes. "I mean- okay. I don't know stuff about face masks or anything." She goes over to the mirror and wipes it off with the washcloth provided. "Great. Chloe, truth or dare."
"I'll start off slow with truth."
"What were you doing in front of Luka's door?"
"I told you, I don't know who that is!"
"My brother?" Juleka questions.
Then it clicks for Chloe. "Ohhhh. I just heard some music and humming and was curious."
Everyone gives Chloe a look.
"What?"
"Nothing." Alya says.
"Marinette, truth or dare." Chloe changes the subject.
"Ughhh, I'll go with dare."
Chloe thinks, accidentally making eye contact with Alya. Do it, she mouths. Chloe gives a short nod and smirks.
"Call Adrien."
"Oh my god. Please no."
"It's a dare, you have to do it!" Alix says excitedly.
Marinette whines as she reaches her phone. "What do you even want me to say?"
"Oh, umm. I didn't think that far." Chloe admits.
"I've got one!" Alya raises her hand.
"No no, this is from Chloe. She has to come up with it." Marinette says.
"I guess... ask him for inspiration for a new outfit? I'm not to good at this."
"Orrrr confess to him." Alya mutters in a sing song voice.
"INSPIRATION FOR A NEW OUTFIT IT IS!" Marinette goes to the number but hesitates. Alya pushes it for her. "Alya!"
"Just keep going with the dare!" She whisper-yells.
The phone rings a couple of times.
Marinette begins to worry. "Is he even awak-"
"Hello?"
"OH! HI, ADRIEN."
"Hey, Marinette!" Adrien says. "What's up?"
The girls wave their hands. "Ummm, I was wanting to make a new outfit and I kinda need some inspiration. Do you have any ideas?"
"You came to me for ideas?" Adrien asks, a little surprised.
"Uhh, yeah! Why wouldn't I?"
Adrien give an 'i don't know' noise. There was silence on the other line a bit before Adrien scoffs lightly.
"Huh?" Marinette looks at her phone a bit.
"Oh that wasn't at you! There's a... bug... in my room and it just flew out of my reach."
"...Okay. So do you have any ideas? I don't mean to pressure you. If you don't have any ideas, it's fin-"
Adrien laughs. "Don't worry, Marinette. You're not pressuring me."

"Adrien, where's my cheese?" Plagg whispers.
Plagg, I'm not the phone, Adrien mouths.
"With who?" Adrien gives Plagg a look. "Marinette, right? The one who owns a bakery? You should ask her on a date."
Adrien just stares at Plagg. "Dumb cat."
"A..cat?" Marinette asks.
Adrien freaks out. "Uhh, yeah! Cats! Cats are cool. Especially black cats. Like Chat Noir. He's cool."
"Yeah, I guess. I have an unfinished sketch of an outfit like that."
"So you actually think it's a good idea? Could I see it next time I see you?" Adrien asks, excitedly.
"Y-Yeah, of course!"
"Awesome, Marinette! I'm sure it will turn out great. You're an amazing designer."
"Hehe... Thank you. You should probably get to bed. You don't want your dad getting angery for not sleeping enough."
"Anytime. Goodnight, Marinette."
"Night, Adrien."
Adrien hangs up. Plagg laughs at him. "What's so funny?"
"I just cannot believe how dumb you are."
"Wow, thanks."
===
The girls all stare at Marinette after she hangs up.
"What?" She asks.
"YOU JUST HAD AN ENTIRE CONVERSATION WITH ADRIEN AGRESTE AND BARELY STUTTERED." Alya shakes Marinette.
"He even complimented you!" Mylene says.
"Multipule times!" Rose continues.
"Of course he said cats." Chloe mutters to herself, smiling.
