"Tomorrow is the day, girl!" Alya shrieked, shaking Marinette's arm excitedly.

Marinette laughed nervously. "Yeah! Cool."

Tomorrow at the school would be dress-up as your favorite hero day, in honor of Ladybug and Chat Noir. Marinette was unsure of how many people would actually participate in the event, but Alya urged her best friend to dress up as well.

"I'm dressing up as Ladybug!" Alya squeaked. Rose curiously joined in the conversation.

"Really? Me too!" Rose remarked. "She is awesome!"

Adrien laughed nervously, facing his friends. "Hey, what about Chat Noir? He is just as important too you know."

"I'm sure someone will dress up as him!" Marinette exclaimed. She then curiously glanced at Nino who remained strangely quiet.

Nino scoffed and laid back in his chair. "Nah, I'm not the costume kinda dude."

Marinette frowned while Adrien laughed, quickly trying to hide the fact that he cared about the amount of people dressing up as Chat Noir. "Well, it's not like I care. Just wondering." He then turned back around in his seat.

"I can't wait for tomorrow," Alya exclaimed.

"Me too," Marinette nodded.

The next day, Ms. Bustier's classroom was a sea of red and black polka dots all in honor of Ladybug. People wore red clothes and had stitched on or colored black dots to it.

Alya skipped into the classroom and plopped down into her seat. She was wearing red jeans and a red long-sleeve shirt with black felt dots stitched on. She also decorated her glasses with red and black polka dots instead of the mask Ladybug wears.

She looked around for Marinette, but she hadn't arrived yet. Nino strolled into the classroom, causing Alya to gasp.

He was wearing a makeshift Ladybug costume as well. He casually slid into his seat. Alya curiously poked him on the shoulder.

"What happened to not being the 'costume kinda dude'?" Alya asked.

Nino laughed loudly. "Are you kidding me? It was a joke. No way would I miss out on this!"

Alya rolled her eyes and smirked just as Adrien walked into the classroom. He was wearing a full out Ladybug costume, complete with the mask AND yoyo. He smirked as he sat in his seat.

Alya's mouth practically unhinged upon inspection of his costume. "Geez, and I thought MY costume was good. How did you get every little detail right?" she asked incredulously.

Adrien shrugged and smiled. "I guess you could say I was on spot on?"

Alya laughed.

However, the humorous atmosphere was soon replaced with disappointment as Alya checked her phone. "I guess Marinette isn't coming."

"What?" a voice then asked, startling Alya. The brunette turned around and met the eyes of Marinette.

"Girl... you're-"

Marinette smiled and gestured to her outfit. "Like it?"

Alya's eyes traveled up and down Marinette as she shockingly glanced at her outfit. Marinette was dressed up as Chat Noir.

Her outfit was accurate as well. Her outfit was made of black leather, she wore a pair of black cat ears, and had a long belt tail. Marinette then inspected the room of students that were dressed up as Ladybug. She stared at the sea of black and red in shock.

"Oh my gosh," she mumbled under her breath. Then her eyes glanced at Adrien. He was wearing a Ladybug costume! Her eyes widened and she smiled.

Nino pouted and crossed his arms, snapping Marinette out of her trance. He glanced back and forth between Adrien and Marinette. "You dudes are so going to help me with my costume on Halloween!"

Marinette giggled nervously while Adrien stared at her in shock. Someone actually dressed up as him? A smile began to form on his face. Someone dressed up as him! Adrien wanted to scream in joy but he knew that was totally out of character for him. Well, to his friends anyway.

Marinette tilted her head at Adrien. "You okay?"

"Yeah, dude. Your face looks like you just won the lottery," Nino remarked.

Adrien couldn't stop smiling. He was so happy all because of one person dressing up as him. He's seen Chat Noir cosplayers before. Why would this cosplay mean any different?

His eyes focused in on Marinette's and his heart skipped a beat. A blush formed on his cheeks.

Maybe it's because of the person wearing the costume.
