Ladybug smiles when she sees the boy she admires and loves walk past her. She thinks to bad there is not a way for me to confess to him.  It is not that she wishes to keep her love for him a secret so much as she can not show him her true self behind the mask.  This is why she decides for now it is best to remain friends with him.

        Adrien hears voices call out,  "Look, it is Adrien Agreste!"  He turns around at the sound to see a huge crowd of fans nearby.  

       "Adrien, need a lift?" Ladybug asks.

      "S-Sure, L-Ladybug," Adrien remarks.

         "Okay, then hold on tight," Ladybug says.

            Adrien puts on a helmet, climbs aboard the motorcycle, and holds on tight to her waist.  He smiles as he and Ladybug ride off together.  He can not remember when he has had this much fun in years.          

         Ladybug does not say a word as she drives her motorcycle past the crowd. She just keeps on until she is outside a small cabin. She parks the vehicle here, but behind it to avoid anyone seeing it. She waits for Adrien to climb off.

       Adrien removes his hands from her waist and hears her sigh. He feels a blush on his face as he slides off.  He smiles as she climbs off. 

      Ladybug tucks a stray strand of blond hair behind his ears. She feels rather awkward now. 

        "Th-thanks for the ride, L-Ladybug," Adrien stutters.

        "No problem, Adrien," Marinette says.

          "How  is it you know my name?" Adrien asks.

        "You mean aside from the fact your name and face are plastered on every billboard in Paris?" She asks.

      "Haha, fair enough," Adrien responds.
