A/N: The video made me cry tbh. And I never cry.

Marinette opened the doors to the school. Music blared in her ear as she scanned everyone dancing and having a good time.

"Marinette!" A voice called out to her. She looked in the direction she heard it from to see Snow.

"Hey, Snow. The dance turned out great." I complimented her. She was the head of the dance committee. Not many people were on the committee. Just her, Nathanael, Rose, Juleka, Mireille, and another girl in a different class name Hazel.

"Thanks. And, thank you for the dress. I'm glad you could came! Alya and the boys are by the DJ booth. I'll see you later." Marinette thanked her and they had a quick hug before going different ways.

Adrien was talking to Alya and Nino by the DJ booth. Nino had the music on shuffle for now. And then Alya asked a question that startled Adrien.

"Do you think Marinette is okay?" Alya asked the boys. Adrien and Nino were dead silent.

"I-I know it's a random thought but, she's skinnier. Really skinny. And her eyes are gray. She's always tired and never hangs out with anyone anymore." Adrien understood what Alya was talking about. He surprisingly knew more about what Marinette was hiding than Alya.

"Well-" Adrien started but was cut off by a small 'hey'.

He turned to see Marinette. His jaw dropped, she looked gorgeous. Her dress fit her perfectly and her gloves made her look more like a princess. But Adrien did know what those gloves hide.

"Mari!" Alya squealed, hugging her best friend.

"I thought you were staying home, Dudette." Nino chuckled.

"Well, I guess I changed my mind." She giggled. Her smile was bright and real. For once in a long time.

"Hold on, I got to put on a song." Nino said and hopped up onto the DJ booth. He cut the song that was playing and picked up the mic.

"Alright dudes and ladies, time for a slow song! Find a special someone!" Nino cut off the mic and played Thousand Years by Christina Perri.

Nino jumped down and grabbed Alya's hand. They went off to the dance floor, leaving Marinette and Adrien.

"Would you like to dan-"

"ADRIKINZ!" Adrien's voice was disrupted by Chloe.

"Come dance with me, I need to talk to you." Chloe demanded. Chloe dragged Adrien off, Adrien stuttering while trying to get out of her grip.

Marinette gave him a sad smile. Once he was out of view, her features saddened. After a minute of standing, her legs were slightly shaking and she felt weak and tired just by standing. She sat down in one of the chairs against the wall.

"Maybe this was a bad idea, Tikki." Marinette mumbled to her kwami that was hiding in a secret pocket on the dress.

Adrien and Chloe were in the middle of the dance floor.

"You chose an amazing tux, Adrikinz." Chloe admired his black tux and silk green tie.

"What are you wanting to talk about Chloe?" Adrien sighed. Adrien wasn't a fan of Chloe right now. But he could never hate her. She was his first friend and for a long time, only friend.

"I just wanted to talk to my beloved friend. Is that too much to ask? So, how's your dad?"

Chloe actually seemed like she wasn't up to anything for once. When the song was over, she went back to go find Sabrina. Adrien walked back over to where he last saw Marinette, but she wasn't there.
