The nightmares have become reality. Hurt, pain, guilt, sadness. Oh, this is going to be so fun.



It all started as a normal day, Marinette actually being early to school because of no recent Akuma attacks.

'Bye mom! Bye dad!'

'Goodbye, sweetie. Stay safe.'

'I will mom!' She said, as she runs excitedly to school. 'Today is going to be great. I can feel it.'

Poor, poor girl. She has no idea what's going to happen this fateful day.

Ladybug will fall under my control. Your downfall is inevitable, Ladybug. And the key to Cat Noir's downfall, is yours.

'Alya!'

'Hey girl! It's the end of the year already! So? Are you gonna ask Adrien out to the prom or what?'

'Alya, come on, you know I want to but I just can't. Every word would come out as a stutter, and I'll just embarrass myself even more.'

'Oh come on girl! You just need a little encouragement!'

'I don't know, Alya.'

'Look! He's coming! Stay cool, Marinette. You can do this.'

'Wait, what—'

With that, Alya ran off, winking to Marinette, leaving her in full blown panic mode for seconds as Adrien, pretty face, blonde hair,  green eyes and all walked over to Marinette.

Sirens were blaring in Marinette's head, mixed with her internal screams.

'Ok ok ok, I just need to do this. I can do this, I just need to talk to him, like a normal, normal, sane person, I mean, come on he's just another kid in my school but he's the hottest kid in my school and the dreamiest and oh my god he's right in front of me now.'

'Hey Marinette. Good morning.'

'Ah, um, uh, yes! Morning. Good!'

'Oh my god kill me please.'

'Ha, uh hey Marinette, why did Alya run off just now?'

'Actually,' she said, and suddenly the words came to her mind, having something to talk about, though she still couldn't look him in the eyes, she managed to form a coherent sentence. 'Alya and I were talking but then she TOTALLY BAILED ON ME!' She yelled across the entire courtyard, giving Alya the stink eye. Which Alya completely ignored, choosing instead to feign talking to Nino.

Adrien went silent for a second. He didn't realise a girl so petite could produce such a loud sound. He coughed slightly, before responding. 'Well, okay... Ahem, so Marinette, have you got a date for prom?'

'Huh? Prom? Oh. OH. Yes, prom. I mean no, no date me, I MEAN I DATE DON'T but of course, date I you, I mean, I MEAN—' Marinette was a whole new level of flustered, having caught off guard by the topic of prom, but before she could regain her composure, typical Chloe Bourgeois ran over to Adrien, draping her arms around him. 

'Hey Adrikins~' she said, making flirty faces at him, either not noticing or ignoring the momentary look of disgust on Adrien's before he covered it up with a forced smile, not wanting to be mean.

'Hey...Chloe.'

'Adrikins, since we're going to prom together, could you get your father to make us matching outfits? That'd give us bonus couple points!'

Marinette's train of thought crashed.

'What.'

'Hold on Chloe, we're going to prom together? How come I didn't know about this?'
