"Hey Nino!" Adrien called, seeing Nino that morning talking to Alya.

"Hey, Bro!" Nino gasped as Alya nudged him forward.

"What's up?" Adrien chuckled confusedly as to why they were acting this way.

"Well, what do you think of Marinette?" Nino asked pointedly. Alya facepalmed.

"H-Huh?!" Adrien sputtered.

"Marinette. Dark blue hair, blue eyes, cool clo-"

"I know who Marinette is. Why do you ask?" Adrien chuckled.

"We were just wondering like... If you're pals...?" Nino shrugged.

"Yeah. I guess. To be honest, I think I kinda' scare her..." Adrien scratched the back of his head.

Alya facepalmed continuously.

"Bro... It's obvi- ow!" Nino was cut off by a punch from Alya.

"Okay...? I have to uh... Go to class now... Bye." Adrien laughed, confused.

"WAIT!" Nino yelped.

"What?!" Adrien turned.

"Do you want to hang out with me, Alya and Mari on Friday?" Nino asked quickly.

"Uh... Sure. Bye guys." Adrien chuckled and walked off.

"Nino, that wasn't part of the plan!" Alya hissed.

"But, Marinette and Adrien can bond! We can find Andre or something!" Nino offered.

"Remember what happened LAST time? Adrien couldn't leave and Andre was akumatized!" Alya protested.

"Well this time will be different!" Nino assured her.

"Alright. Fine. Let's tell Marinette."
