According to  www.dictionary.com, Incognito -Adjective or adverb- means  "(of a person) as having one's true identity concealed."  " An Assumed  or false identity." (noun)

       Adrien decides he must go incognito to discover what is happening. How else is he to get some answers?  The messages Chole sent do not help.  He is angry.  Furious even that no one seems to trust him.  

       He pulls out an outfit he never wore since it brings up bad memories.  He puts it on, then combs his hair, applies deodorant, does not bother with the cologne, and adds a mask.  Now, he is all set to do his research.  He leaves for the park.

     Adrien arrives there just a few minutes before the AntiAdrien league members do. Great, so far, he has time to spare. He walks around, checks to see his fake id is still intact, and smiles.

    Twenty minutes later, Marinette arrives at the park. She thinks he looks familiar. She shrugs her shoulders. She knows that is not possible. She has never seen him before today.

     "You here to join?"

      "Yes, so what do I do?"

      "Oh, just sign right here."

          "Okay," He says, with more confidence than he knew he had in him. He grins at the irony of the situation.

         "Oh, by the way, I am Stefan."

           "Marinette!"  A shout is heard from behind her.

       "Luka!" She squeals.

         "Hi, who is this, Mari?"

           "Oh, this is Stefan."

             "Nice to meet you, Stefan."

           "Likewise, I am sure."  Inside, he chringes from the betrayal, confusion, and sadness. 

               The others soon join them, and all introduce themselves to the newest member.

          Stefan listens closely as they ramble on about all sorts of things.

                "So, that Chole girl is horrid, am I right?" 

                "Chole, who is she?"  Stefan tries hard not to gag.

                 "She is just the rotten girl who took Adrien away from Marinette, here."

                  "Wow, Marinette, I did not know she was that low."

                "Well, you do now."

                "I can see why you despise her then."  He thinks, which is why I am not talking to her at all.

              "Do you have any girlfriends?"  A girl who goes by Kagami asks.

            "Not so fast, there man, she is my girlfriend," The boy called Luka pipes up.

              "Do not worry, she is all yours, and no have no one in mind." 

              "Well, that is too bad cause you are rather cute," Alix says.

         Alix remark earns her a glare from Kim.  "Kim, do not pout, darling. You know you are the only boy for me."

        Stefan thinks it seems like everyone in the group is a couple.

          "Enough, mushy stuff."

         "Yes, let the woman talk,"  Stefan blurts out.

        "Th-Thanks, St-Stefan,"  Marinette mutters.

              Later, after the meeting, "Stefan, want to go out sometime?" 

           "Sorry, but I just got out of a bad relationship."

          "I understand."

               Marinette waves bye to him and sighs.  

             Stefan takes a different route home than usual. He sighs, once he enters his room. 

               He removes the disguise and now is back to being just Adrien Agreste. He hates lying to everyone, but what else can he do?

              Adrien glares at the text Chole just sent. Should he respond to it?

             Chole's text to Adrien

            Adrikins where were you?

           I am have been waiting for nearly an hour for our date.:)

      Adrien rolls his eyes but sends this response.

     Adrien's text to Chole

     Sorry, but I am busy.

     I will never be available for you.

     I do not see you that way.

      Adrien sits on his bed not sure how soon, Stefan will reappear. He has not gotten much closer to answers other than what Alya said. He can not believe it. Everyone still believes a lie.  How?  More importantly why?
