Essay Awaits
There are different types of soulmates. As Marintte grew up she was always told that even though she doesn’t have any obvious signs of having a soulmate doesn’t mean she doesn’t have one. Some people's skin glows when they touch their soulmate, others see color for the first time when the two meet. Alya and Nino had the words they first thought when they met each other on their wrists. Adrien and Luka have matching tattoos of a snake around the outline of a cat head. Some people didn’t have a soulmate, that’s what Marinette thought for a few years.
“Marinette, can you please come down here? Your father needs my help in the bakery, I need you to work the register.” Sabine asked once Marinette answered her phone.
Marinette sighed and stood up from her current design project. “I’ll be down in just a minute.” Marinette quickly hung up the phone and stretched. “Tikki, when do you think I’ll get an email from Wayne Enterprise?”
“Not yet.” Tikki shook her head. “It should come in at some point today or tomorrow. Remember there’s a six hour time difference between Paris and Gotham?”
“Thanks Tikki.” Marinette sighed. “I’ll be up in a bit. Let’s hope they don’t email while I’m helping maman and papa in the bakery.” Marinette smiled before rushing down to the bakery.
“Marinette, any news on the essay?” Chloé asked from her spot at the table closest to the register.
“No, nothing yet. They should send out the email soon. Hopefully in the next hour or so.” Marinette said sadly.
“Well let’s hope you got in. I mean I haven’t read the essay yet but I’m sure it’s amazing.” Chloé reassured the already nervous teen.
“I know, but what if the essay didn’t go through or something went wrong.” Marinette pauses for a moment before going full freak out mode. “What if they saw how long it was and didn’t read the whole thing because I put so much information into it?!”
“Marinette! Calm down!” Chloé shock her friend out of her panic. “You’re going to give yourself a panic attack.”
“What a shame, I’m at the bakery and not at the disco.” Marinette smiled before the two teens burst into laughter.
In Gotham
“Demon Spawn!”
“Baby Bird!”
“I’m not going to do it!” Damian growled. “It’s utterly horrendous and deplorable.”
Jason just rolled his eyes and crossed his arms across his chest. “Oh don’t be dramatic you adult teenager. Get your ass over here so we can take a fucking picture.”
“I’m not letting you all take a picture of me while wearing that.” Damian stated firmly as he pointed to his brothers.
“Damian please. We want to show the girls that we are better than them in something.” Dick begged.
Damian just shook his head. “There’s nothing you three can do that makes you better than Barbra, Brown, Cain and Kori.”
“Technically he’s not wrong.” Tim mumbled.
“Oh come on. Please. The girls took a picture with matching shirts. Why can’t we?” Dick turned to his baby brother.
“Because I will stab you if you try to put that on me.” Damian stated before leaving the room to go to school.
In Paris
“Chat! I need your staff!” Ladybug yelled to her partner.
“Hold up Bug!” Chat Noir said as he tried to wiggle himself out of the recent akuma’s hands.
As soon as Chat Noir was free he threw his staff to Ladybug. Once she had the staff she quickly tied her yo-yo to the other end, using it as a fishing rod.
After a few more minutes the akuma was defeated.
“Pound it!”
“Hey LB, are we getting together this afternoon?” Chat asked.
“Maybe. I’m still waiting for that email.” Ladybug sighed. “But if you want I can ask my parents.”
“All right. Text me later when you get an answer.” Chat smiled before running off.
Once back in her family’s apartment, Marinette ran down to the bakery to talk to her parents.
“Maman, can Adrien come over for a little bit?” Marinette asked her mother.
“Of course dear. Are you inviting anyone else?” Sabine asked.
“I was thinking about having Chloé, Kagami and Luka over as well. I’ll have to ask them first.” Marinette said sheepishly.
“Okay dear. Just text your father when you know who’s coming over.” Sabine smiled before helping her next customer.
LB’s Bitches Group Chat
Maribug: If any of you want to come over today you can.
Minou: YAAAAAAA :)
Queenie: I’ll be over with Gami in a bit
Marinette quickly ran down to the bakery. “Maman, I think the whole group is coming over today. Adri will probably want to spend the night. I think his father and him got into another fight.”
“Of course sweetheart. I’ll make some snacks for you all.” Sabine smiled softly before heading to the back of the bakery.
In Gotham
“Demon Spawn, Alfred went out for the day. Seeing how you are the only person who is allowed to go into the kitchen, can you grab us some snacks?” Jason asked as he gestured to himself and Dick, obviously not pleased about it.
Damian just rolled his eyes. “I’m not going to get you food, Todd. You shouldn’t have lost your kitchen privileges in the first place. Now if you will excuse me I have to go call Kent.” Damian walked past his brothers and to his room.
“Damian!” Jon said happily as soon as the video call connected.
“Kent, why are you so loud?” Damian asked.
Anyone who didn’t live with the young Wayne Heir or was his friend (Jon) would have thought that Damian was being rude. However, those few people knew that Damian just had trouble expressing his emotions
Jon started bouncing in his desk chair, shaking the table which he had propped his iPhone on. “Did you hear? Your dad picked the winning class for that contest! Now we’re going to be meeting students from another school.”
“Right, the contest father mentioned.” Damian thought.
“Apparently the winner had an amazing essay and Bruce picked them almost immediately after reading through all of the essays.” Jon said quickly. “You have to tell me everything you know.”
Damian wasn’t surprised that Jon was so excited to meet the new class. He was raised by two of the most famous journalists. Bruce had told his family that the class was Damia’s age and that they would be split up and put into different classes in Damian’s grade.
“Kent, I understand that you’re excited to meet the class but I don’t know anymore then you do. Even if I knew more I wouldn’t tell you.” Damian said with a shrug.
Jon gasped. “You suck Damian Wayne.”
“I’ll see you tomorrow Kent.” Damian said before hanging up the phone.
In Paris
Marionette nearly dodged the pillow Adrien swung at her. “Missed me!”
Chloe hit Marinett in the back of the leg before dodging out of the way quickly from Luka. Kagami hit Adrien in the side before hitting Luka.
“Hey!” The teal haired teen laughed. “You guys keep hitting me! Hit Ma-Ma-Marinette.”
Marinate the and Adrien looked at each other before nodding. The two original heroes charged at Luka.
Suddenly Marinette’s computer chimed. Everyone dropped their pillows and ran to the computer. Marinette quickly typed in her password and opened her mail.
Dear Miss Marinette Dupain-Cheng.
