Stay, Chapter 1

Adrien had been pacing around his room for some time trying to think of exactly what to say. Usually as Cat Noir he had no problems flirting, but this time, it was going to be very different. He was actually very nervous. The blond boy looked around for Plagg with his green eyes spotting the little black Cat-like Kwami.

"Still nervouse huh Adrien?" The Cat-like creature asked knowing all too well what today was, and why his partner the famous Cat Noir was unable to keep his composure.

"It's the anniversary of our first mission together, and the closest thing I can get to a date with Ladybug. I don't wanna screw it up." Adrien replied a bit worried becasue of what he was planning.

"You guys are going to have a late night picnic, so just tell her then. Stressing out over what if's isn't healthy. Besides you'll never know the answer unless you try. Plus, I'm getting tired of watching you stress out." Plagg in his unusual way was trying to cheer up the boy while munching on some cheese as the clock then began to chime six o'clock.

"Alright then, let's get going. Plagg, Claws Out." Adrien cried out as the black Kwami was sucked into his ring and transformed him into Cat Noir.

"Gotta take this too." Cat Noir said picking up a pendante necklace that looked to be verry old, and swung from his room out into the night.

Meanwhile, Marinette was dealing with her own problems.

"Sorry momma, I have plans for tonight with a friend. But you two should go and have a good time at the celebration." The soft raven haired girl spoke to her mother who had asked about going to the Ladybug and Cat Noir celebration that was going on that night.

"Oh, is it a boy? Do you have a date?" Her mother chirped happily wanting to know what her baby girl's plans were.

"NO!, Momma, it's nothing like that. I'm just going to have a late night picknic with a friend that's all." Marinette replied slightly upset about the implication that she had a date, especially since the person she was supposed to go meet was Cat Noir... not that her parent's knew that.

"Alright then sweety, lock up when you leave okay." Her father said before walking out the door to head to the celebration.

Once her parent's were out of sight Tikki could be heard laughing about the comments Marinette's parents had made.

"It's not funny Tikki." Marinette said through and uncomfortable blush.

"Sure it is, but we'd better hurry or else we'll be late." The tiny red spotted Kwami suggested gesturing to the clock.

"Right then, Tikki Spots On." Marinette cried and in a flash stood the confident Ladybug where the shy Marinette had once been.

"I hope Cat likes the pastries." She said grabbing a picnic basket that she had prepared for the two of them to enjoy.
