1 The Next Chapter

"Alright, students. Class is over. Remember to do the homework for chapter eleven and have a great weekend!"

The students packed up their belongings and headed towards the door. They walked to the front of Françoise Dupont High School.

"So, what are you doing this weekend?" Alya asked Marinette with excitement, "Nino and I are planning on seeing the new movie in theaters! You and Adrien should come along!"

"We could, but I'd have to ask Adrien first. His father might not want him to go," Marinette replied.

"Go ask! You two are dating now. Besides, his father has been pretty lenient lately," Alya crossed her arms and pointed in Adrien's direction.

"Don't worry. I'm going, I'm going!" Marinette approached Adrien and Nino, who were talking and laughing.

"Hi Marinette! Nino just told me he and Alya were going to the movies and invited me. Do you want to come?" Adrien smiled.

Marinette was surprised Adrien had asked her and said, "Sure, I'd love to come! Alya and I were just talking about the movies."

"We'll meet up at the front of the theater at five, then," Nino confirmed.

"Hey guys, how's it going?" Alya casually approached the three.

"Great! We'll all meet at the theater. Until then, I'm going to do the homework. See you guys later!" Nino began to walk away, but was interrupted by Adrien.

"Hey, could we invite Kagami and Luka? I'm sure they'd like to come," he suggested.

Kagami and Luka became a couple shortly after Marinette and Adrien did. Kagami and Luka were saddened when the two fell in love with each other, but soon realized they had much more in common than they first thought.

"I think that sounds like a great idea," Marinette said.

"Sure. The more the merrier," Nino agreed.

"I'll talk to them and see if they can come," Adrien said, "I just wanted to make sure you guys were okay with it."

The four of them parted ways with excitement for the movie. Marinette felt relieved she was still friends with Kagami after becoming Adrien's girlfriend. She was also happy that Luka and Kagami had found each other. She cared for them both, but was so worried she would upset them when she and Adrien began dating.

It felt like a dream come true. After she and Adrien discovered a part of the other they never knew, the two of them confessed their feelings. Marinette and Adrien shared ice cream, shopped, and had lunch with each other as often as they could.

What still bothered Marinette was the disappearance of the Butterfly and a Peacock Miraculouses. Hawkmoth and Mayura has given up their Miraculouses and a book with important information without revealing their identities. They changed out of their Miraculous costumes and into different ones. They gave the book and Miraculouses to Ladybug and Cat Noir, but a person in a mysterious costume stole the Butterfly Miraculous. The Peacock Miraculous was lost after falling into the sea.

It had been two months since the incident. Marinette and Adrien met up in costume once every week. The next time was tomorrow, and Marinette couldn't wait. The two would run and jump above Paris. Just because there wasn't a known Hawkmoth didn't mean Marinette and Adrien couldn't be Ladybug and Cat Noir.
