Marinette grunted as she fitted on a dress. She would need to ride a plane in a dress too match their "expectations".
"This is more painful than I thought." Marinette grumbled.
"But you look so beautiful Marinette!" Tikki complimented.
"I guess, I mean, I would much rather have something I created. This seems too long for my taste." Marinette sighed as she buttoned the back. She was all dressed.
"Mari? Are you talking to yourself?" Alya asked, suspicious.
"I was.. Uh, JUST TO UNCOMFORTABLE!" Marinette panicked so she just blurted out something that was unnecessary and excessively loud.
"Okay then.." Alya acquiesced. "You done though? I don't wait forever."
"Yeah, I'll come out." Marinette shyly exited the dressing room and revealed her exquisite pink and white floor-length gown.

"Dang Mari, you rock that outfit! Especially with your hair down." Alya then smirked. "Bet Adrien would want to see that."
"Shut up Alya! Don't. Tease. The. Princess." Marinette pouted as she blushed violently.
"Cmon Mari, let's go, you promised remember?" Alya complained. Marinette nodded and begrudgingly bought the dress.

They entered the Agreste mansion. They were going to play a popular multiplayer game in Adrien's special gaming room. Gosh, rich kid.
"I'm so nervous!" Marinette squeaked.
"We've been chilling here for the past month to game Mari. Can't your fear ever disappear?" Alya chuckled lightly. Marinette puffed up her cheeks.
"Its harder than you think." That was when Natalie brought them to the third floor, east hallway, tenth room and into the spacious area. The room was split up into quarters. One quarter was occupied with a an elegant fridge, an island where four bar stools resided and a sink. It was where they snacked and had meals. It was located at the left most bottom corner. Then came the video game room where a fluffy grey carpet covered the square space. There was five TV's and literally the latest, most advanced video game console ever. It was for video games and occasionally just chilling since two meters from the TV was where they sat on beanbags. Each person had their own area personalized and decorated it so that it reflected their own personality.
Then the next are where all the funnest and awkwardest moments were created. The computer area. There were four computers and they were all equipped with the latest gadgets and tools. Frequently, they game intensely and sometimes they would argue too. Usually between who picks which class and weapon since it was an unspoken rule that each of them can't have the same class as another person.
The last and most resourceful and somewhat educational space, the game storage and mini library dedicated to games. It is the most tranquil and interesting place since Adrien couldve easily hidden a naughty game in there. It happens more often than you think.
We entered to see Nino and Adrien on the beanbags chilling.
"What up?" Alya hooted.
"Dude, Marinette! I mean your highness." Nino hollered. They both sat at the remaining two beanbags.
"I guess you've heard.." Marinette responded, her tone loathed in worry and stress.
"I mean, who didn't?" Adrien added. There was a beat of silence.
"So what is the plan and stuff for you in China?" Alya asked curiously. Everyone's attention turned towards Marinette.

Marinette gulped.

"Well, I need to go to China in Sunday so I only have six more days to talk to you and stuff." Marinette paused. "I'm not allowed to see you guys while I'm there not even facetime."
"So that means we'll lose touch?" They all gasped.
"Probably." Marinette nodded.
"That means no more meet ups!" Nino shouted.
"That means no more treats!" Alya yelped. Adrien didn't say anything. However his eyes screamed and cried out. His green emerald eyes spoke to Marinette: No more Ladybug.
Marinette sighed and looked at her friends. "Sorry I just ruined the mood and stuff."
"It's not like it'll kill us." Alya  replied. "We've got other stuff to worry about."
"What about your mom?" Nino suggested. Her mom. Something just sparked in Marinette's mind.
"My mom?" Marinette murmered.
"Uh-huh" Adrien said.
  Then it hit her like that apple that discovered gravity.
"YOU ARE A FREAKING LEGEND NINO!" Marinette crowed.
"Sure?" Nino answered her.
"Guys, I have a plan!" Marinette squealed.
"The name?" Alya asked, clearly prioritizing the name.
"Operation something." Adrien proposed.
"Operation: Get-Marinette-out-of-princess-jail plan!" Marinette grinned.
"EHH?!" The rest screamed in unison.
"Who wouldn't want to be a princess?" Alya reasoned.
"This is so big dude, can't bail it for us." Nino reckoned. Adrien was silent once again. Except this time, he smiled. Almost invisible but it was present.
"This isn't just for you guys. It's for the whole world." Marinette stated with full determination. "Ready for the plan?"
"I'm so ready." Adrien was pumped up.
"I need to break the rules just like my mom so they'd skip me and go to the next person." Marinette declared.
"There are only two rules." Alya thought aloud.
"Exactly! One is to marry an enemy and the other..." Marinette stopped
"What other?" Nino questioned.
"To disrespect the empress. Which could risk an execution." Marinette finished.
"Scary." Adrien commented,
"Why do you want to do this Mari? Princess isn't a ba-"
"Sometimes Alya, the whole universe existence depends on me staying here." Marinette protested.
Although the answer seem so stupid, the truth spilled out endlessly as Adrien listened to his lady reason with completely dumb reasons. However, the universe needed this bakers girl than he or the empress of China ever will
I'm glad you stayed as a superhero Buginette

And as if Marinette heard.

Me too Adrien, me too.

A/N another chapter guyz! I put this story aside and now I have a new book which is currently on chapter two and my first story had a new chapter. I know this is one of the more popular books I've written so I just did this in the middle of the night again. Well I think I'm going on a tangent but I am going to have a short hiatus on wattpad this time since I have a millennial of homework to finish so yah. IRL needs an opt out button SMH. Hopefully that wasn't too cringy. Kay bye!
