Bourgeois Event [2]

"Stop embarrassing me and the whole world of fashion!" Audrey shouted. The mayor was amost out of the couples' cape at this point but he continued to tug it his way.

The guests looked on, stunned at the scene the couple was creating. Jagged Stone munched on some snacks as he watched, nearly slack-jawed.

Gorilla moved away, searching the guests for the two runaway teenagers.

He heard laughing through the set of double doors.

Adrien and Kagami continued to fence while Marinette watched on, caught up in her thoughts.

"Take that," Adrien spoke as he struck at Kagami with his spoon.

The doors slammed open and the kitchen went still.

Marinette jumped and spun to see the extremely large man.

"Uh, hehe, are you looking for something?" She asked awkwardly, trying to be innocently polite as she folded her hands in front of herself and stepped closer to the bodyguard.

He looked around the empty room and let out what sounded like a growl, before turning and stomping away.

The two hiding teenager listened as he left and gave sighs of relief, being echoed by Marinette.

She smiled for a second longer than necessary before finally relaxing.

"Thanks Marinette." Adrien said as the two peeked up from behind the island counter.

"Okay, I, better get going." She said hesitantly and picked up the box of cocktail umbrellas.

"I have to take the umbrellas back to my-" she headed for the door while she spoke.

"No wait!" Adrien called, stopping her in her tracks to leave.

She looked back at him with his arms still outstretched and turned fully, watching him drop them to his sides.

"Please, escape with us." Kagami continued and Marinette gave them an unsure look. She looked back and forth between them and the door, sighing finally.

"I really need to take these back to my parents. But, if you want, I could distract your bodyguards for you."

They looked at her, disappointed that she wouldn't come with them but grateful that she offered to give them a way out.

"You're a good friend Marinette." Adrien spoke as he placed a hand on her shoulder. Kagami nodding in agreement to his words.

She smiled and headed towards the door.

She took the umbrellas to her mum and dad, rushing so that she could help the other two to escape.

"Thank you honey, why don't you head on home now." Her mother spoke.

Marinette smiled and waved at her parents. "Alright. Bye, see you at home."

"See you later honey." Her father called, waving.

She headed towards the exit and ducked around a corner, peeking from her hiding place to find their bodyguards.

She looked across and facepalmed as she saw two cardboard boxes shuffling across the floor.

She saw as they turned and looked directly at Adrien's bodyguard, who had clearly seen them. He began towards them and both boxes jumped up, sprinting for the door to the stairs.

Marinette sighed and followed behind them, making sure to close the door and block the Gorilla.

Adrien and Kagami stepped out from under their boxes and gave her sheepish grins.

"You were meant to wait."

The two smiled and pulled her up the stairs, running faster as they heard the door below opening.

"Yeah, we got bored." Adrien shouted as they ran.

Kagami laughed and tugged Marinette's hand to go faster. "And Adrien found those boxes so we figured that we'd give it a try."

Marinette huffed fondly and they burst out onto the roof of the hotel.

Natalie pulled a wire from Chloe's Queen Bee signal and tampered with some cables, mixing them around to break the projector.

She heard footsteps and ducked out of view, hiding behind some foliage.

Adrien, Kagami and Marinette burst onto the rooftop, running up to when the large pool was situated.

They looked around frantically, searching for a place to hide.

The gorilla burst through the door, causing them to all look back at him in surprise.

Adrien turned away from him and smirked, grabbing both Kagami and Marinette's hands.

He ran towards the edge and laughed as he jumped into the ball filled pool, Marinette and Kagami giving excited shouts and laughter as well.

The gorilla took some time to look around the rooftop area, before he finally left, having upturned a table or two and knocked a few things over.

Natalie watched it all with slightly narrowed eyes, frowning at the oaf's incompetence. Because that is what she view Adrien's get away as, and that was what his father would view it as, as well.

The three teens stood up in the ball pool, smiling at each other in relief.

"Being disobedient is really entertaining. I've never had so much fun in my life." Kagami spoke as she looked at them both, a pleasant expression on her face, call it... freedom.

"Are you kidding?" Marinette asked in a surprised voice and Kagami looked at her curiously.

"No, why-" she was cut off as Marinette threw a ball at her, hitting her in the face. A startled looked overcoming Kagami's face, eyes wide in shock.

"No reason." Marinette laughed, Adrien joining in. Soon, Kagami followed suit. They continued to play, throwing balls and jumping on each other.

"You should've seen your face, Kagami." Adrien said, getting a ball to the forehead for his efforts.

Kagami went under and pulled Marinette down, causing her to lose her hair ties.

She stood up, laughing, her hair loose down her back.

"Wow, it's the first time I've seen you with your hair down." Adrien said, looking at her softly. He truly appreciated her beauty, in that moment. She was a sight for sore eyes- in his opinion. That may or may not have been biased. He watched as she dove back down into the balls to find the hair ties.

"You should see your face Marinette." Kagami pointed out and they all laughed as she continued to dig through the balls.

Natalie exited the rooftop while they were distracted and started down the stairway, calling Gabriel.

"Phase two is in place sir."

He smirked and looked out at the sky, through the small entrance to the observatory that was swarming with his white butterflies.

"Excellent. Then we will begin."

He smirked, an evil glint in his eyes.
