Sound of the melody (A Lukanette Story)

Chapter 8: 2 boys, 1 girl

After school, Marinette walked home and Adrien watched her walking.

Adrien: I have to make things right for Marinette.

Plagg: How? Stalking her 24/7?

Adrien: No, Plagg. I'm gonna offer her a ride home.

Plagg: In case you're wondering, kid. Her house is right there. It's not that far of a walk for her.

Adrien: Right, I forgot. She lives near the school. I'll have to spend time with her then.

Plagg: Why do I even bother? You don't even know if she's busy or not.

Adrien: I can ask her. Watch *He gets his phone out and texts Marinette. He typed "Hey Marinette, do you wanna do something fun today, if you're free that is." * There. She should reply.

Plagg: Or not.

Adrien: Shut up, you don't understand love!

Plagg: What and you don't? You're still crushing over Ladybug, aren't you?

Adrien: May-maybe.

Plagg: Why do I even bother? Let's go home.

Adrien: Alright. *He starts walking. In the boathouse, Luka can't stop thinking about Marinette, he is playing his guitar and he sees Juleka walking in. *

Luka: Hey, Jules.

Juleka: Hey. So, Marinette said you and her went ice skating yesterday.

Luka: She suggested it. I know she's still hurt over Adrien, but I'm capable of making her feel better.

Juleka: I know you do. And one more thing. She also said you confessed to her after you were akumatized. Is that true?

Luka: I couldn't remember what I said when I was akumatized. All I know is I told her how I felt inside and I spoke the truth.

Juleka: Wow?

Luka: Yes. I don't want her to think I don't care for the world.

Juleka: I'm sure you won't. Try doing some fun and nice for her. *Luka thinks about it and he grinned at that. *

Luka: I think I know what to do about that.

In Marinette's house, Marinette works on her next design. Her phone vibrated, she looked at her phone and it was 2 messages. One from Adrien and one from Luka.

Marinette: Huh? Adrien texted me? And Luka too?

Tikki: What did they say?

Marinette: From Adrien "Hey Marinette, do you wanna do something fun today, if you're free that is." And from Luka "Hey Marinette, I've been thinking about you today. I wanted to know if you wanna do something fun today." What do I say, Tikki?

Tikki: Follow your heart, Marinette. Who do you wanna spend the day with? *Marinette thinks a little bit and she has a solution. *

Marinette: I think I know. *She replied to Luka first saying "Sure. What do you wanna do?" and she sent it first. Then she replied to Adrien "Sorry Adrien, I already made plans with Luka." There. Now I am waiting for their responses. Then both messages came. She looked at the messages. First is Luka. He said "It's a surprise. I'll meet you at your place in 5 minutes." * Yes! Now to Adrien. *She opened his message and he replied, "Oh, okay. Have fun with Luka." * Hmm, can't tell if he's happy or sad about that. What do you think?

Tikki: Hmm, probably both. Not sure.

Marinette: I'm sure it's okay. Better get ready for Luka to come. *In the boathouse, Luka got the message. *

Luka: Better get ready to get her.

Juleka: What did she say?

Luka: She said yes. I know what to do.

Juleka: What is it?

Luka: I wanna surprise her with a picnic.

Juleka: Aww, okay.

Luka: Better go to her parent's bakery. Mom, I'm going out.

Anarka: Okay, lad, have fun. *He leaves the boathouse, gets on his bike, and rides to the Dupain-Cheng bakery. *
