Chapter 22 - The Prank

                                    

                                          
GEEZ! I normally end my chapters after 1000 words, but this time I made it up to 1500. I had two choices, go to sleep, or finish this. I think you guys can guess which option I chose. I just couldn't help myself. Enjoy!
                          
Mari/Ladybug's POV
                          
After school was over, I chatted with Alya about everything that happened with the last akuma, letting her know every detail I knew of. After we finished talking, I gave her a hug and transformed because I didn't like walking home and dealing with the paparazzi. I grabbed my stuff and zipped on my yo-yo out of the school. 
                          
When I landed on my roof, I called my transformation off and got inside. Tikki flew downstairs to get herself some cookies, not caring to hide since everyone already knew my identity. I walked over to my sewing desk and opened my most recent drawings. I grabbed black and green fabric and thread and spread them on the table. 'I should get this done before patrol tonight. Then I could give him the suit in a bag and the card on the side.' I looked at the clock. '3:27. That gives me 7 hours to finish the suit. Plenty of time.'
                          
Adrien/Chat Noir's POV 
                          
After I got home, I went straight to my room. Ever since my Father and Natalie left, I have been so alone in my house. I inherited my father's company and the house. There were arrangements made so the cooks, maids, and the body guard 'Gorilla' could all keep their jobs. Someone else was hired as the new accountant who would help schedule and keep the business going. My schedule had freed up, but I was more lonely than ever. I threw a wheel of camembert towards Plagg. He swallowed it whole, then looked at me, obviously happy.
                          
"Adrien! That was so much cheese!"
                          
"Of course it was! Just for you!"
                          
Plagg narrowed his eyes. "Are you trying to bribe me?"
                          
"Of course not! I'm going anyway, so I thought you might want a little something. Plagg, Claws Out!"
                          
I heard Plagg groan as he was sucked into my ring. After I transformed, I started patrol early and jumped out my window. I looked around and decided to go to Marinette's. I got on her roof and entered via trapdoor. When I got inside, she looked over, then freaked out. She stood up quickly and threw a giant blanket on her sewing desk. 'What is she hiding?'
                          
"Chat! Didn't you ever learn to knock?!"
                          
"I didn't think I would scare you...!"
                          
I walk up to her and give her a short, sweet kiss, and she relaxes. I look down at her fingers and see many bandages on her finger tips. I gently grab her hands in mine, look at them for a minute, then look back up at her.
                          
"What happened?"
                          
She shrugged her shoulders. "I can't help it. When sewing anything, your bound to poke you're fingers, I can't cover it up..." Then her face lit up. "I know! Lacing separately! It will totally work!"
                          
She takes her hands out of mine, grabs her pencil and jots down some notes in her sketchbook. I tilt my head in confusion, and lean over to see what she is writing. As soon as I could read it, she closed the book. 
                          
"Whatcha hiding from me M'lady? Your secrets are already out of the bag."
                          
She smirked at me and flicked my bell, sending a small shiver of pleasure down my spine. "Wouldn't you like to know..."
                          
"Oh, this Kitten would verrry much a-purrr-eciate it..."
                          
She laughed. "How about this, Go to the Eiffel Tower and take a picture of yourself and send it to me. When you come back, if I am not finished by then, I will show you. Deal?"
