THE CHAPTER YOU'VE BEEN WAITING FOR! No need for a summary, let's go!

Marinette tells her friends about Nino's proposal and, like usual, they freak out. They ask what she told him and Marinette says she didn't say anything and doesn't know what she's going to say. She tells them that she likes Nino, but only ever considered him as a friend.

Her friends tell her that they think Nino might be better suited for Marinette than Adrien since Adrien betrayed Marinette's feelings. They both agree that they won't be able to forgive Adrien and that even Marinette said it was fun being with Nino and say that if she's going to be in a relationship for the rest of her life, then Nino is the guy for her and tell her to seriously think about her relationship with Nino.

Meanwhile Nino is doing his job at the restaurant as he strikes up friendly conversation with some men who are having a meal. Marinette looks on and smiles, but thinks about what Adrien would say if he found out about Nino's proposal.

Adrien and his father meet with the Chairman who says that they shouldn't be talking about business and says that they're family, they should help one another. The Chairman asks about the wedding and Mr. Agreste tells him that it's up to him, but Adrien interrupts talking about his father's surgery near the end of the year and suggests that they hold the ceremony the following year because of it. The Chairman agrees since it's his precious granddaughter and figures that they should have it in the summer the following year.

Having another appointment to go to, the Chairman leaves, but not before telling Adrien that it's like a dream of his to have a man like him in his family.

That night the two return home and Adrien tells his father that he should get some rest and leaves to head upstairs. Mr. Agreste stops him to thank him and asks if he's really sure, probably about the wedding. Adrien says that there's nothing to complain about since Lila is a very nice person before going up to his room.

Mrs. Agreste says that Adrien is really going to marry her and Mr. Agreste says that they can't go back.

Marinette is playing with the doll that Nino proposed to her with in her room. She thinks back to the moment that he proposed with it and debates the thought before deciding that it doesn't really click. She gets a knock at her door and quickly hides away the bear before her father comes in showing her information about their new house.

The house isn't what her father dreamt of having, but he says that while he does want a house, they can't afford to buy one right that second, so they'll have to go with a rental. He promises, though, that when Marinette gets married, he'll make enough to build them a family house and jokes saying that that's only if a man would want to marry her.

The two grow quiet before Marinette asks her father if he would be happy if she married Nino. Her father thinks it's actually going to happen, but Marinette points out that it's only hypothetical, calming her father a bit. Her father says that he's very sincere, nice, has a good heart, and a good cook and says that he would be happy since someone could run the restaurant.

He also tells Marinette to not feel obligated to marry him and that her feelings are the most important. If the man she marries can make her happy, then he doesn't care about his restaurant. Marinette then slowly looks back at the panda that's hiding beneath her pillow.

It's a new day and Nino and Marinette are out together. Nino tells Marinette to close her eyes while he takes her to the spot. On his cue they both turn around to look at the scenery.

However, one look at it and Marinette recognizes it as a place that Adrien took her to before. Unaware, Nino takes Marinette around to show her the scenery, impressed with it himself. But Marinette can only think back to the moment she spent with Adrien at the same spot when he told her that he doesn't mind living with her and doesn't hate her.

Finally Nino sees that Marinette isn't herself and tries to point out the scenery again and get her attention, but she's spaced out. When she comes back to it she says that it was nothing and Nino changes her attention to food and asks what they should eat. Right when they're about to leave, though, they spot Adrien and Lila walking their way.

Marinette tries to disguise herself and Nino, but Lila notices them, since they're right out in public and they both greet one another, Lila and Marinette. Adrien introduces Lila to Nino who is surprised to learn that Nino works at the restaurant with Marinette's father, even calling him the successor to the restaurant, but Nino tells her that he's only an apprentice.

Marinette tries to change the subject and asks Lila what they're doing and Lila says that they're going to an art exhibition, but Adrien suggested they visit the bridge first. Adrien turns on his sweetness as he replies to Lila and Marinette can only fume in her thoughts as she thinks about how her first date with Adrien, to that same place, must not have meant anything since he brought Lila there as well.

Lila then asks Marinette and Nino to see the art exhibition with them, an artist by the name of Francis Bacon, but Nino and Marinette get hung up on the word 'bacon' (A/N They didn't hear the 'Francis') leading Nino to say that they like sausages over bacon.

Upon hearing that comment, the old Adrien starts to shine through as he says that going to a place like that is probably too much of a pain for them and that they should stay at their level. Nino gets offended and asks what he means and Marinette asks if he's saying that they're stupid. Adrien asks if he's wrong, then, and the two don't respond, but Lila seems quite shocked at the sudden attitude change.

Marinette then leaves with Nino saying that they should do something according to their level, but not before wishing Lila to have as much bacon as she wants and they'll get full on sausages as they take their leave. Adrien calls out before they can get out of range and says that she and Nino are quite the match and Marinette thanks him for telling her before finally leaving.

Once they're gone, Lila says that Adrien saying something mean to Marientte is out of his character, which it isn't, but it's out of his character in front of her. Adrien picks up on that comment and reassures Lila that he would never talk to her like that, starting to put on the nice façade again, but Lila doesn't look so convinced.

Lila tells Adrien that he's a great businessman and knows a lot of things, but he doesn't know his own feelings. She excuses herself in the end and goes home leaving Adrien standing there. At the café, Marinette and Nino have a plateful of sausages and eat them to their hearts content. Nino asks if she's alright and Marinette asks him about what, but Nino gives up and just tells her to continue eating the sausages.

Meanwhile Marinette's father informs Mr. and Mrs. Agreste about his and Marinette's plan to move out. They're saddened by the news and say that they don't mind if he stays, but Marinette's father says that it's time they should leave since Adrien is getting married. In tears Mrs. Agreste says that it feels like everything is ending.

At the restaurant, Marinette's father leaves to go see his regulars and leaves the rest to clean up. Nino tells the other worker that he can leave saying that he and Marinette will clean up. After catching the hint, he does and leaves Marinette and Nino in the restaurant by themselves.

As they're cleaning up Nino asks Marinette if she has plans for the following day, and upon hearing that she doesn't have any, asks if she wants to study together, as in learning the basics of cooking Chinese food. Marinette agrees saying that it's a good idea and the two agree to hang out the following day.

Adrien returns home at night to his mother who has a couple of drinks. She tells him that Marinette isn't home yet and says that she's normally home late, but she's later than usual, wondering if she went out with Nino and says that she might not come home that night. When Adrien leaves, she gets up to tell him that Marinette's family is planning on moving out.

She asks him if it's okay, but Adrien doesn't respond and makes his way upstairs, but before he goes into his room, he stares at Marinette's door for a moment.

It's a new day when Adrien learns from Kim that Marinette wasn't going to be at practice. Kim makes the comment about them not knowing anything about one another despite living in the same house and Adrien explains that he gets home late from work everyday before leaving. Before he leaves the court, Kim calls out his congratulations for his marriage and Adrien politely thanks him.

Chloe waits outside of the courts and greets Adrien who asks how she's doing. She says that she's fine, even though she got rejected from him and asks if he's going to quit school. Adrien tells her probably and Chloe says that she doesn't like her since it's boring that she has nothing bad to say about her, the her being Lila.

Chloe tells Adrien that she hopes he stays as attractive and cool when he's married to someone. She quickly tells him goodbye and gets back on the court.

Adrien is walking while at the school when Mylene and Rose come across him and wonder why he's at the school. Adrien wonders why he wouldn't be, he's only temporarily absent, he's still enrolled in the school.

They inform him that Marinette left for the day, but Adrien blows them off saying that he didn't ask. However, they begin to follow him and say that Marinette is probably already at the restaurant. Adrien tells them that it's closed, but they tell him that Marinette is studying cooking with Nino.

They also provoke him further when they say that the whole studying part is only a coverup since Marinette is really going to give her answer to Nino's proposal, which is news to Adrien.

Knowing fully well that Adrien didn't know, Rose tells him that Nino proposed to Marinette and that Marinette finally realized her true love after Adrien had broken her heart after getting engaged. The two continue to poke fun before they excuse themselves since they have their own dates to go to, also rubbing in the fact that they're going on dates with people they actually like. Adrien is left standing there to digest all of the new information he got, particularly about the proposal.

Excitedly the two friends sit down and Mylene comments that Marinette didn't say anything about responding to Nino's proposal and wonders if it was alright to tell him. Rose tells her that she would've regretted not telling him about it. In the end, the two girls are happy about their decision.

Nino places a dish before Marinette that she gives praise to, just based on the looks and Nino begins teaching her all about the dish and about the appearance of dishes in cooking and tells Marinette to try it.

After taking one mouthful of potato Marinette is already impressed and Nino says that expensive dishes are good, but he wants to create a restaurant where homemade foods are served, such as the meat and potatoes dish he made for Marinette. it's during his speech about his restaurant that he brings up wanting to have a woman restaurant owner who will be loved by everyone, and turns to Marinette telling her that they'll run the restaurant together.

It takes a while for Marinette to answer, though.

Meanwhile, we have our dear Adrien who is walking by himself and lost in his thoughts, presumably about those regarding Nino's proposal to Marinette. It then starts to rain and instead of rushing to get home, he just stands there.

Back at the restaurant Nino and Marinette are still facing one another when Nino asks if Marinette could give him an answer regarding his proposal. Marinette is unable to say anything to a little while until she asks that Nino just give her a bit more time. Nino figures that she's still hung up on Adrien and Marinette attempts to say she's not, but Nino wants to know why then since he's loved her for a long time.

He continues by asking why she still loves him and declares that he's going to make her forget about Adrien. Nino then tries to forcefully kiss her, but Marinette shields away and calls out 'Adrien' and the realization hits them both right away. Marinette repeatedly apologizes towards Nino and makes her way out of the restaurant while Nino is left alone.

Marinette runs in the rain thinking about how she's the worst because she made Nino expect something since she was acting suggestively and she had to say 'Adrien' at that moment as well. She also thinks that in the end, there's no one else but Adrien after all.

Marinette finds herself under a tree as she tells herself aloud that she doesn't know what to do anymore and crouches down to hold her knees when an umbrella gets held over her. Marinette looks up to see who it is and is surprised to see Adrien standing there.

Marinette asks why he's there and Adrien tells her that he came to get her before offering his hand. He helps Marinette stand up and begins walking away with Marinette right at his side.

As they're walking, Adrien asks Marinette if he was with Nino and tells her that he heard about the proposal. Marinette tells him that it's true and that she's not that bad after all. Adrien is more curious about her answer, though, but Marinette says that it shouldn't matter what she says since he and Lila are getting married.

The conversation dies at that and Marinette starts it up again by announcing that her and her father decided to move out of the house and she also declares that she's going to marry Nino. Marinette tells Adrienthat Nino will help with the restaurant and Adrien interrupts her to ask her if she loves Nino.

Marinette tells him that Kin-chan loved her since their first year of high school, but Adrien isn't interested in that and asks if a person just loves another person because the other person says that they do.

Marinette wonders what's wrong with that and says that she's had a one-sided love for so long that she's tired of it and tells Adrien to leave her alone and focus his attention on Lila when he grabs her shoulders and tells her that she loves him and that she can't love anyone else.

Marinette then finally caves in saying that she can't help it since Adrien doesn't love her at all, but her words get interrupted when Adrien swoops in for a kiss.

When he pulls away he tells her to never say that she likes any man besides him, but Marinette is too engrossed in the kiss and says that it was their second time. Adrien tells her it's the third and adds that she doesn't have to count anymore before he kisses her on the cheek and hugs her.

At the Agreste household, Mrs. Agreste is telling Marinette's father that they'll miss them. Her father says that they'll visit often and Mrs. Agreste hears the door open as Adrien and Marinette enter the room. She tries to get them towels to wipe off, you know since they were just kissing in the rain and stuff, but Adrien tells her to wait since he has something important to say.

Adrien approaches Marinette's father saying that he needs to walk with him and drops the bomb saying that he wants to get married with Marinette, asking for permission. This shocks everyone in the room, even Marinette.

Mr. Agreste asks if Adrien's serious and Adrien says he is and he finally realized that he wants to marry her. He clarifies that it's not going to be right away, since there's that whole issue with Lila, and he wants to get the company back on track, but still, there's no other person he wants to be with.

He asks once again that Marinette's father give him his permission, but he has to make sure that Adrien actually wants the marriage. He tells her that Marinettecan't do anything, she's not smart, she can't cook, she's clumsy and hasty and makes mistakes all the time. He adds that Marinette is cheerful, though, has guts, and is a lovable girl. Adrien says that he understands and knows everything and Marinette's father gives him permission. It's then that Adrien asks if it's alright with Marinette who happily agrees.

Mrs. Agreste is the happiest, though, as she immediately hugs Marinette saying she's waited for that day for a very long time.

Adrien then approaches his father and apologizes for being selfish since him not marrying Lila will mean that the Chairman might take back his investment. Mr. Agreste says that it would be a big problem for the company and says that he can't let an employee act like that. Mr. Agreste adds that there's one condition to marrying Marinette, he has to resign from the company and go back to school to become a doctor.

Putting back on his happy face, Mr. Agreste tells Naoki that he thought he was hiding it, but he already knew about Adrien's dream. He also says that it's his responsibility to build the company back up and that he'll talk with the Chairman so Adrien can go chase his dream with Marinette. Adrien thanks his father.

Marinette wonders what'll happen to the company when Felix steps up saying that he'll take over the company and tells Adrien that he can become a doctor. Mrs. Agreste is over the moon at how well everything turned out and about how they can actually become a real family and Mr. Agreste urges the two to get changed so they can properly celebrate.

Adrien and Marinette are upstairs in Marinette's room drying off, with Adrien even being playful now, but Marinette says that she's scared that he'll turn into the same cold Adrien that he was before. Calmly Adrien asks if she wants to sleep with him then, but Marinette begins to freak out saying that that's not what she meant.

She asks him if he's sure he wants her and Adrien says he is. She tells him she loves him and he comments saying that he knows more than enough. Marinette continues saying that she didn't know Adrien loved her, but Adrien says that she won him over as he hugs her again and tells her that he loves her.

Then who shall open the door but Mrs. Agreste to sneak her camera in for a few pictures of the lovely moment and wonders to herself when the earliest good-luck Sunday is to get married.

It's a new day, well a couple of days later probably, as the family is walking somewhere with Mrs. Agreste at the lead. Felix wonders if they're there yet and Mr. Agreste says that it's too early on Sunday morning apologizing to Marinette's father. He tells him that it's alright and asks Mrs. Agreste where they're going and she announces a wedding.

Everyone is shocked and Mrs. Agreste points out the church and announces that it's Adrien and Marinette's wedding, double shock. Marinette wonders if they're actually getting married and just not checking out the place, but Mrs. Agreste says that it's a surprise present.

When they get to the entrance of the church, Mrs. Agreste opens the door to reveal all of their friends there in attendance to the wedding before quickly ushering them to go get ready.

Marinette looks at herself in the mirror in her wedding dress, not believing that she's getting married to Adrien. Felixenters the room and tells her 'fair feathers make fair fowls', a statement that Marinette doesn't understand. They have their friendly banter back and forth and Felix tells her the meaning and says that anyone in a beautiful dress would look decent. Well, that's the closest compliment Marinette is ever going to get from Felix.

Felix then says that as a wedding present he'll teach her something good and whispers something to her, something that makes Marinette a little surprised.

Out in the hallway, Nino approaches Adrien telling him he looks cool and that he always looks cool. Adrien stands up and tells Nino that he'll take Marinette.

The two men don't say anything to one another for a while until Nino laughs saying that Marinette has bad taste and tells Adrien to make sure that he makes Marinette happy even adding that Adrien will know what'll happen if he makes her cry even a little. Nino also says that Adrien can't let his guard down since he'll always be on guard and Adrien agrees.

Adrien puts out his hand for a handshake and Nino accepts and then turns around with a sad expression on since he accepted it.

Everyone is assembled in the church and Mrs. Agreste is taking pictures of Adrien, telling him not to be grumpy. He's only not grumpy when he sees Marinette entering in her dress for the very first time.

Marinette and her father walk down the aisle and they finally get to where Adrien is standing. Adrien takes Marinette's arm in his and continue to walk. Adrien tells her that it's unpleasant that everything was decided, but since Marinette looks beautiful, he'll let it go.

The two make it to the alter and exchange rings and go through the whole wedding procedure. The priest tells the two they can kiss and before Adrien does, Marinette starts laughing and asks him if he loved her since before. Adrien wonders what Marinette is talking about and Marinette reveals that she heard about their second kiss from Felix, that being what the wedding present was, before planting a kiss on his lips.

Once she pulls away Marinette tells Adrien that it serves him right and Adrien admits his defeat.

The two walk down the stairs outside of the church as their friends and family throw flowers. It's then that Marinette sees a shooting star and Adrien tells her that the probability of getting hit by a shooting star is a tenth of a billion, but meeting Marinette was more of a miracle than that.

In the end, they all take a wedding picture together.

And that's it! Story's finished! I'm so tired, every chapter has been really long. Anyway see you next time (if I do make another ML story)
