Adrien and Marinette returned to the castle, their clothes were still wet from their sudden swim in the Lagoon that evening. When they entered the castle the first one to greet them was Mylene who had just arrived to the door once she saw that the couple had returned to the castle.

"Good evening your highness and hello to you too." the multi-color hair girl said to the couple. "How was your day out in the town?" Marinette gave a huge smile and placed both of her thumbs up to emphasize that she had a wonderful time. Mylene gave a smile that went away when she noticed the state of Marinette's dress and looked over at the prince to see that he was also soaked as well. "Why are you guys all wet?" She asked.

"We may have had an incident with us falling into a pond." Adrien replied giving the girl a nervous smile. "Can you take Marinette so she can get fixed up. I'd hate it if she caught a cold."

Mylene's head tilted curiously. "Marinette?"

"Mmmhmm." The blonde nodded enthusiastically with a bright smile. "I figured out her name."

"That's great and it's such a pretty name!" The maid said happily and Marinette simply blushed looking at the floor shyly. "Well come follow me Marinette. We'll have you fixed up and in fresh dry clothes in no time!"

Before following Mylene down the hall Marinette turned towards the prince signing the words 'Thank you'. Knowing a bit of sign language himself he signed back 'you're welcome' to the blue haired girl and smiled. Adrien took the opportunity to take her hand and kissed the back of it. "I had an amazing time with you today. Sweet Dreams okay?"

Marinette blushed nodding and mouthed the words 'good night' but before she continued after Mylene she turned back to the blonde standing on her toes she gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. Adrien's eyes widen at the sudden gesture and before he could react Marinette was already rushing down the hall following Mylene. The prince blinked watching the girl's retreating figure as he placed a hand on the cheek she kissed.

That's when he noticed his heart had skipped a beat.

"Prince Adrien." Coming down the stairs was Nathalie gave the blonde a stern look. "I thought we agreed that you'd be back by sunset."

"Sorry Nat we.....got a little sidetracked." Adrien said with a nervous grin.

"I see....well I'd like to inform you that your father has returned from his trip. I told him that you were out with a guest and he has requested that you introduce the girl to him tomorrow."

"Yes....Thank you Nathalie."

Nathalie nodded and turned away to make her leave, but stopped and turned back towards the blonde. "Oh I almost forgot....Nino is out in the gardens waiting for your arrival, he says that he has something urgent to tell you."

"He does? I'll head over right now."

"I'd prefer that you change into some dry clothes before you do so. Lord forbid that you catch a cold."

"I'll be fine Nathalie. If it's urgent I'll go see what it is really quickly and I'll head on back." Adrien made his way towards the entrance to the gardens. When he was outside he saw Nino pacing back and forth he seemed deep in thought about something, the prince called out to him "Nino?"

Nino halted his pacing and turned towards the blonde. "Hey Dude....why are you wet?"

"Long story." Adrien answered nervously rubbing the back of his head. His eyes widen when he noticed the bandage on his friends nose. "What happened to your-?"

"Long story." Nino mimicked. "Actually it kind of relates to what I wanted to talk to you about."

"Is everything alright?" The blonde asked concerned.

"Yeah....so dude, you know how your mystery girl kinda disappear without a trace? How there were no footprints when we got there to get you?"

"Yeah?"

"And you were drowning in the middle of the ocean and we couldn't find you?"

"Nino where are you going with this?"

"Dude, you're going to think I'm crazy...."

The blonde put a hand on the boy's shoulder. "Nino you're my best friend whatever you have to tell me, I'll listen no matter how crazy."

The brunette sighed. "Dude...I saw a mermaid at the beach today."

Adrien blinked. "W...What?"

"I saw a mermaid at the beach today." Nino repeated. "And I think there's a possibility that she could've been your mystery girl."

Marinette sat on her bed while Mylene sat behind her brushing her hair back with a fork. She was confused at why Marinette wanted her to use a fork instead of a brush, but decided to just go with it. "So how was your outing with Prince Adrien?" The maid asked as she pulled the girl's hair back into a ponytail.

Marinette blushed a scarlet red and gave a small smile, Mylene noticed. "Oooh I see. You wouldn't happen to have a crush on the Prince would you?" Mylene finished the blunette's ponytail and scooted over to where she could get a better look at her face. Marinette twirled the end of her ponytail nervously and nodded.

"Aww how cute! I wish you the best of luck!" Mylene said enthusiastically before leaning in to whisper. "Between you and me, I think the Prince likes you alot too." Marinette blushed harder, but despite her embarrassment she really hope that Mylene was right.

The door burst open nearly scaring the two girls and standing at the entrance was once again Alix. Mylene was about to scold her for once again bursting into the room so suddenly without warning, but quickly went against it when she noticed that distressed look on her friends face.

"Alix what's the matter?" she decided to ask.

"What's the matter?' I'll tell you what's the matter!" The pink haired girl shouted before closing the door behind her. "That idiot Kim is what's the matter!"

"What did he do this time?" Mylene asked while Marinette blinked tilting her head slightly confused.

"That knucklehead asked me ON A DATE!"

Marinette's eyes widen while Mylene gave a bright smile. "Oh my gosh! He did???!"

"Yes! Didn't you hear me the first time?!"

"I don't understand...why are you upset?"

"Why would he ask ME??! Out of ALL the other maids that have been drooling over him??! I'm pretty sure he did it out of some stupid dare from his stupid friends it makes no sense!"

"Ooh so you're upset cause you think he doesn't really want to date you?"

"I don't care what he wants!" Alix shouted angrily. "I just refuse to be a victim of one of that morons lame pranks!"

"So what do you want to do?"

"I honestly think I should tell him to take a hike, but I'll play his little game for now. I'll go with him, let him buy me food and all that and when it's over I'll ditch him. Simple as that." Alix crossed her arms glaring at the wall. "Um....but I....need help picking out an outfit at home...."

Mylene shook her head smiling, "Okay. Okay. I'll help." She got up from her spot and set the fork down. "I'll see you tomorrow Marinette." Marinette waved 'goodbye' to the two girls.

Alix dragged Mylene out the door and shut it behind them. Marinette stood up from the bed and looked out the window up at the night sky. Everything and everyone in the surface world continued to fascinate her, and she hoped that she would never have to leave, but still....she couldn't help but feel a little bit of doubt in the back of her mind.

Did she really make the right choice coming here? She left her home, she left her friends......was it all really worth it in the end?
