Chloé Bourgeois hates lots of things, it's what she's good at. So it came as no surprise that she hated the idea of being the bachelorette for the season finale of a dating show called "Love Finds a Way." At first, she was hopeful that Adrien might be one of the lucky bachelors to try and compete for her, but then she heard he was the bachelor the girls would try to win over. That put all of her hopes on their head.

"You mean I have to be a part of that stupid show? I never agreed to that!" Cholé fumed to her father. The mayor, however, had his mind set on what he signed off on.

"Yes, Chloé, but don't you worry! It will be a fun opportunity for you." André replied.

"But wouldn't a game show like that have to have age restrictions? Surely I fall under that limit." Chloé retorted.

"Not if you have a parent's permission, and seeing as I am your father, I gave you permission to!" The mayor responded.

"I don't want to go on that stupid show! Disgusting and stupid boys fighting over me like I'm a trophy. Ugh, this is terrible." Chloé whined. André was by her side to help comfort her, even though it wouldn't end up helping.

"Princess, don't worry about it, there will only be three boys who will try to go on a date with you, and not only that, they check each candidate to make sure they are alright and will match up well with you. I took the liberty to finish the paperwork about your interests for you, so you don't have to worry about that. Besides, if you really don't like any of them you don't have to go out on a date with them. I just thought it would be a fun little idea, and it will surely give us some good publicity. So don't worry so much, it's just a short little episode. They will need some photoshoots with you and Adrien for advertising purposes and to get the word out there so people can apply for the episode." André got up from beside Chloé and paced in front of her to explain the rest of the situation to her. "Now, the episode will be live and will be shot in about 45 days on December 20th, so you have ample time to prepare. I've cleared out that day so we can be down there and so I can watch you from the front row!" Chloé looked about as unenthused as anyone could look in her situation.

"Ugh, you're acting as if I'm going to be doing anything up there. All I've got to do is sit there, look pretty, and ask three weirdos stupid questions like 'what would be your dream date?'" she spat, asking the last question in a faux positive attitude.

"See? You've got the spirit already! I can't wait to see that when the show starts!" André sang out as he left Chloé, fuming, in her room.

Adrien had quite the same feelings about this whole dating show idea as Chloé, however he didn't have time to express any concerns with his father, as Gabriel rattled off all of the information about the show, photoshoot, and the schedule for the 20th to Adrien. Before he even knew it, Gabriel retreated to another part of the house explaining that any questions were to be brought up to Nathalie. Of course, Adrien had a few concerns, like who would be the people trying to get a date with him? Why didn't he have a say in this? How could he get out of this? Out of all of these questions, he chose to ask Nathalie one: what if I don't like who I have to date?

"You're not being forced to be in a relationship with anyone, Adrien, it's all for the sake of the show. You can always stop dating the girl if you wish."

"But I don't know how to break up with a girl! Why do I have to do this anyways?" Adrien pleaded, trying his best to get out of this even though he knew he couldn't.

"It's good for you to be seen by the public eye like this. Besides, you're being too pessimistic about this whole thing, who knows? You might end up liking who you get paired up with," Nathalie said with a grin. She didn't like this whole situation either, it just meant more work for her to prepare for, but if she could get Adrien on board it wouldn't be as bad. Adrien could only sigh in defeat.

"I suppose I have to give it a chance," Adrien said to himself.

"Yes you will, now we have 45 days to prepare, but you still have your regular schedule to attend to. I suggest doing your schoolwork now before all your time is taken away by this show." Nathalie spoke as she walked away from Adrien.

"Yes, Nathalie." Adrien dejectedly spoke as he walked to his room. "I'm not going to like this." He grabbed his phone and dialed up his best friend. "Nino, we need to talk."

"What's up man? You sound pretty serious."

"Do you know the game show Love Finds A Path?"

"...no...also it's Love Finds A Way…"

"Ok ok, well, I'm gonna be on the show."

"No way! That's awesome, congrats man!" Nino cut him off.

"No, I don't want to be on the show! I don't want to go on a date yet!"

"Oh...so you want some help?"

"I don't know how you can help, Nino. I just don't want to have three random girls trying to date me I just don't like the idea of it all."

"What if ladybug is there?"

"There's no way ladybug would be there…" Adrien scoffed. "...but keep going…"

Nathaniel knew that his parents loved him. Not only did they tell him as much as they could, but they did so much for him, even if he didn't think he deserved it. He knew the financial situation that they were in and how much his parents had to work to stay in Paris, especially the part they were in, but they managed to keep their place. Being an only child, his parents only had to focus on him, but Nathaniel sometimes felt that they could be too focused on him. As much as he liked what they did, he didn't want them to run themselves into the ground for it. After all, they moved to this place since it was close to the Louvre amongst other art museums, they've encouraged every step Nathaniel has taken on the path to a job in the art field, they've done everything they could do to get his art recognized… but this time he feels it's gone a bit too far.

"You've done what now?" Nathaniel asked, not believing what he heard.

"I signed you up for the dating game show! You know, the um, Love finds a way?" his mom said in hopes he would be ecstatic. She knew that he wasn't very social, but that's why she did this. If he was going to have any chance at getting his art recognized he needed to be seen.

"No, I don't really know that show, but why would you sign me up for a dating game show? You know I don't like shows like that." Nathaniel said, hoping that his mom would see where he was coming from. Unfortunately for him, he had another curveball coming his way.

"You said the mayor's daughter Chloé is in your class, right? Well she's the lucky bachelorette, so if you get chosen to be on the show you'll already have an advantage over the others," his mom said. Nathaniel's eyes opened wide and was left speechless. While his mom took that as shyness and happiness, Nathaniel was understandably shocked and scared for himself after hearing who he would have to be dating...that is if he was chosen to be a bachelor...and out of who knows how many people would want to date Chloé, he wouldn't stand a chance. That helped reassure him just a little, but there was always that little "what if?" His mom saw his reaction and took that as her time to leave.

"Well I can tell you're a little surprised, so I'll leave you be and tell you the rest later." She said as she closed Nathaniel's bedroom door. Nathaniel was left speechless on his bed as he thought of everything that was just thrust at him. He could only hope that he wouldn't make it onto the show, but if he did…

"oh no…"

"Whaaaa-you di-wha-what?" Marinette stuttered out after a whole minute of staring at her best friend. Alya just stared back at her with an evil smirk.

"You heard me. I set up a date with you and Adrien." She replied.

"Alya! Why would you do that, you know I'm not ready for that!"

"I know, that's why it's not exactly a date. I signed you up for that game show that Adrien is supposed to be the bachelor of. And lucky you, I signed you up to be one of the bachelorettes competing for him on Love Finds A Way. See, it's alright."

"That doesn't make me feel any better Alya! You know I'm just gonna mess everything up if I'm up there, and I'll embarrass myself in front of everyone and Adrien!"

"Girl, calm down. Adrien's not even going to see you unless he picks you. At least I think that's how it goes, I only watch it when Nino wants to." Alya says.

"I mean, I guess that's better, but there are still so many ways I can mess this up! What if I walk on stage, trip on a wire they have for the lights, fall and have the stage backdrop crash down in Adrien?! Oh he'll hate me for sure after that!" Alya just stared at her friend in dismay.

"You can't be serious, right?" Marinette just had a look of worry. "Alright, look at me," Alya sighed. "It'll be just fine. This is your chance to ask Adrien out on a date, and you don't even have to face him!"

"Yeah, but you saw what happened with the phone call, Alya, that didn't quite work out that well!" Marionette almost shouted at her friend. Alya backed off a bit.

"This will be different though! You will be the best girl of the three, Adrien won't be able to resist you, girl!" Alya smiled at her friend, but Marinette wasn't so sure.

"How do you know, Alya? This could all be a big flop for me."

"Look at me. You. Got. This. I have your back in all of this too, so you shouldn't have any reason to worry."

"Maybe you're right, Alya, I do have this!" Marinette said as she stood up straight and ready to do business. Of course Alya could see right through it, with Marinette just barely holding that stance as she trembled with nerves. Just before she was about to break, Alya stopped her.

"Hey, calm down, it's not for another few weeks."

"What?! That's too long away! I'll overthink everything and before I know it I'll have ruined everything!" Alyas shoulders dropped down, disappointed that all that energy and positivity has gone to waste.

"Since when have you ruined everything? Remember when we were shooting that movie and you were about to kiss Adrien? That wasn't you who messed it up, it was Chloé! And how about when you signed his copy of Jagged Stone? I didn't see you mess anything up there! So just stop worrying about this whole thing, and you will do amazing." Marinette visibly got happier after that little talk.

"Thanks Alya, I needed that…"

A.N: This is just a small story idea I came up with a while ago, and I thought that it would be fun to write it! I haven't watched the show in a while, so some characters might be different just based on my memory, but I tried to get them right. Please tell me if I have any errors in the writing and I'll try to get them fixed as soon as possible!
