Marinette looks at Adrien in surprise. She cannot believe he stood up for her.

    "You think that about me?" Marinette says.

     "Yes," Adrien says.

       Nino's  POV:
   I hope they get together and eventually get married so Adrien can be my brother-in-law.

   "Marinette anyone would be blessed to have you in their life," Adrien says.

   "Awe, you are so sweet as always, Adrien!" Marinette says.

   "Ha, he is smitten with you and you just call him sweet?" Miss Harriet Stone says.

    "Adrien has a bad taste  in women if you ask me." Alya remarks.

   "How dare you say this?" Adrien retorts.

   "You do not know anything about me," Adrien says.

   "He is right, now leave him alone!" Marinette says.

   Max turns to Sabrina and says, "There is a 99.9% chance this will not go over well."
    

    "I agree, sweetheart," Sabrina says.

   "No, need to get all uptight, Alya," Juleka says.

      As she speaks the bus goes over a speed bump, then another one. They got past a field of three-leaf clovers, shrubs, some flowers, and a huge set of mountains.  They travel down a curvy road, over another speed down, down another road,  and suddenly stops in the middle of nowhere.

    The bus driver announces, "Attention everyone, the bus has broken down!  I repeat the bus has broken down!  Try, not to panic everyone!" 

    "I will try to resolve the issue as soon as possible!"  He says.

       Chloe just smiles because she is glad everyone is safe.  

    Marinette says, "What, no this cannot happen."

     "Do you wish me to leave you alone?" Adrien asks. He blushes.

   "Adrien, you are so cute when you blush," Marinette tells him.

      "Wh-what?"  Adrien stutters.

      Marinette giggles, "Adrien, you are cute!"
      

     "Alright, sis!" Nino says.

       "There is a 50% chance he will ask her out!" Max states.

       "Max is not wrong," Sabrina says.

        "Marinette do you like someone?" Adrien asks.

          "Yes," Marinette says.

          "Tell him already who it is that you love." Miss Stone says. She cannot stand the drama for much longer.

        "Oh, I see!" Adrien says. His face falls because he does not think Marinette wants anything to do with him.

          Alya thinks, ugh!  Why is Felix so quiet now? 

     "I hate mushy stuff," Felix says.

    "Alya you know Felix is not as great as you think, right?" Nino remarks.

      "What is that on your face, cutie?" Juleka tries to flirt with Nino.

       "I  beg your pardon, Felix is good to me," Alya argues

         "I warn you to leave my woman, alone!" Felix says.

   Back with the driver, Nathaniel, he opens the hood of the vehicle to inspect it. He might as well see what went wrong with it. He hopes to find the problem and get it fixed soon.

     Chloe watches him and thinks, I like a man who can repair things. She massages his shoulders as he works.
