Enjoy!

Marinette was woken up by a hard knock on her door. Instead of a person, a note was left under the door, and they left with a quick shuffle of their feet. "Thank you," she heard Zoey shout, Marinette getting out of her bed, very intrigued.

"What is it?" Marinette took the paper from Zoey's hands, both of their eyes still on it. "It's an announcement for... a dance?" she passed it back to Zoey sheepishly. Zoey's face lit up, "Yes, of course! Every year the palace hosts a Halloween party for the kingdom... though it appears they are changing it..." Zoey's tone changed throughout the statement.

"Oh!" -she smiled widely- "This year it will be just for the selected and their parents," Zoey put the sheet down. "Really?" Marinette asked shockingly. "Yes, of course!" -she set the paper down- "I'm sure many parents would love to met their possible son-in-law."

"Maman and Papa..." -she rubbed her temples- "I haven't talked to them in months."

She looked down, "I had forgotten to write to them... I hope they are doing okay..." Zoey laughed, pouring some tea into a cup. "Of course they are okay," Marinette half-smiled at the statement, "But, anyway, that is still a week away."

"Here, let's get your outfit ready," Zoey added in a sing-song chime, Marinette giggling at her enthusiasm.

Marinette waited patiently infront of the doors to the breakfast hall; Alya quickly tapping her shoulder. "Hey girl," she tossed a smile, Marinette turning around fully. "Did you hear about the dance?" Alya asked excitedly.

"Yes of course," -she smiled widely- "I can't wait to meet your parents!" "As am I," she paused, "I haven't talked to them since I wrote to them a couple of weeks ago," Alya nervously laughed. Marinette opened her mouth to reply, closing it abruptly as she doors opened.

"What are you going to go as?" "What do you mean?" the girls sat across from eachother. "On the sheet, it said that all the selected must go as something... like Halloween," -Marinette's eyes lit up- "But, we still have to wear dresses," Alya laughed at Marinette's groan.

"I don't know. I haven't thought about it at all. What are you going to go as?" Marinette asked as Alya leaned back in her chair, "I don't know... But not something girly," Alya's dramatic tone made Marinette laugh.

"Same." Marinette confirmed with a giggle.

"Marinette Dupain-Cheng, Kagami Tsurugi, and Lila Rossi, please make your way to the front," someone announced, Marinette frantically looking at Alya. She ushered her to go, Marinette walking up to Luka as well as the prince.

Kagami nodded her head, Adrien tossing a smile at the trio. "Well, hello Prince Adrien," Lila curtsied as Marinette rolled her eyes. "Hello, Ladies," the prince greeted politely, "We just have some questions regarding the incident a couple days ago."

"So, Kagami informed me that Lila has been identified as the thief," Adrien awkwardly put; Lila's gasp so loud and dramatic that is made Marinette flinch. "How do you know!? Any proof!?" the hell fire was evident in Lila's eyes as she glanced at Marinette. "Well, she said that she had found the jewelry in your drawer-"

"What does that have to do with anything?" Lila interrupted abruptly, "For all you know, they could have planted it there themselves and framed me," -she scoffed- "What type of proof is that!?" Adrien cleared his throat, "As I was saying, we confirmed with Maid Celia, and she admitted that you had stolen the jewel yourself." Marinette smirked to herself.

Lila opened her mouth to shout back, but quickly closed it after realizing there was no way out of the grave she had dug. "After this, both girls agreed to remain this a secret, and save your reputation," -Lila continued to glare at Marinette- "Though, if another incident like this may happen again, you will be sent home." Lila curled her hand into a fist, "That...brat..." She swore under her breath.

"Thank you Dupain-Cheng and Tsurugi," Lila forced a smile, Marinette returning it with a large one. Oh, this must be so embarrassing, Marinette smirked. "Just because of this, doesn't mean I'm going to be nice," Lila muttered while walking away. Marinette shrugged as Adrien smiled warmly at both of them.

"You girls can go back to your seat; breakfast is starting," his tone sofetened. Marinette sat down, Alya immediately grabbing her wrist. "What was that all about!?" -Marinette shot her head up- "Details," she pressed.

"Oh, nothing," Marinette laughed loudly at Alya's groan.

"So, how would we put on costumes if we were still in dresses?" Marinette sat criss-crossed on her bed. "Well, for example, you could wear a dress that looked like something you were trying to recreate," -she thought for a moment- "Like an animal or something," Zoey rested her crossed arms on the back of the chair she was sitting on, her legs dangling off either side.

Marinette thought for a moment. "Like I could be a Ladybug!" she exclaimed over Zoey's giggle. "I'm sure you could be," "That would be amazing," Marinette mooned over the thought, not noticing Zoey's cheeky smile.

"I'm going to go see if I can catch Adrien before he gets busy," Marinette quickly got up, Zoey shutting the door behind her. She wandered down the stairs, looking for the prince. "Adrien!" Marinette exclaimed as he whipped his head around.

"Hey, Marinette," he tossed a smile, "What are you doing here?" he added, gluing his eyes once more to the papers he held. "I was wondering for the dance if we could do like, a couple's costume," Marinette asked excitedly, the prince tossing a confused glance, "I'm going to need a bit more than that-"

"Well, like something that we could dress up together as. Like couples do around Halloween." "As much as that sounds great, I'm not sure if we're allowed," Adrien sighed. "Though, we could do like, a secret one," he stroked his chin.

Marinette thought for a moment, "Yeah, sure," she concluded with a big smile. "Since I'm being a Ladybug... you could do something related to that." He chuckled, "I'm sorry, but I am not going to be a spider," she joined in with the laughter.

"Well, not like that. Something, secret. Like... Ladybugs are lucky, right?" "I suppose-" "You could be a cat!" Marinette smiled. "A cat?" he double-checked. "Yes, of course! Like, a black cat. They are unlucky, and Ladybugs are lucky!" he laughed, "No laughing! It's a great idea." Marinette shot back, also laughing.

"Whatever makes my princess happy," she smirked, "I'll be a cat, I suppose," he checked his watch. "Though, I have to go now," -his tone became rushed- "See you, Mari," he kissed her cheek. She giggled, watching him walk off hurriedly. On her way back, she bumped into one of the competitors.

"Oh, hey Sabrina," Marinette's expression softenned, the shock releasing from her features. "Hello, Marinette!" -she pushed up her glasses- "I'm just getting some tea for Lila and Chloe," she smiled, Marinette's brows furrowing. "Can't they get it themselves?"

She shook her head rapidly. "Chloe's my best friend, and since Lila is her best friend, I have to serve her as well," she walked off quickly, leaving Marinette dumbstruck.

Best friends? Marinette repeated the phrase in her mind.
