(Marinette's POV)

I was awoken by the sound of my alarm. I groaned silently out of pain. I opened my eyes to the bright sun. I looked around my surroundings. I was in my hotel room. I looked to my right and saw Adrien sleeping next to me. I continued to stare at him just admiring his peacefulness.

He eventually started to wake up. I saw him open his eyes and register where he was. Then he looked at me. "You're awake." He spoke. I nodded; he then engulfed me in a hug. "We were so worried. Don't go by yourself next time. Take us with you." He started rambling worried about me.

*I'm alright kitty. * I signed to him. He still wouldn't stop rambling. So, I grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and kissed him. He immediately started kissing me back. It quickly became a passionate kiss. We sat there just enjoying the moment. We eventually pulled away for air. I smiled at him; he smiled back.

I cuddled up to him and he didn't stop me. I didn't want to move. I wanted to stay like this forever, but I knew we would have to get up soon. After sitting like this for a while we started to hear loud noises from the living room.

I quickly got up and opened the door, Adrien followed me outside. What we saw honestly didn't surprise me. Everyone was playing video games and arguing. I silently face palmed. Adrien just looked from me to them and back again. I walked in front of the TV to get their attention. "Aww come on Marinette, move, we're trying to play video games." They said, then realised what they said. "Marinette!" They all said and ran up to me and hugged me. 

I silently groaned and made a pained face from them hugging me so tightly and from my wound. I guess Adrien saw because next thing I knew, he was telling them to get off of me. "Guys get off her, she is still hurt." Adrien told them. "Sorry Mari." They all apologised to me. *It's okay guys. * I signed to them. *I'm going to make some breakfast for all of us. Then we have to get ready for the tour.* They all nodded knowing there was no use in trying to talk me out of it. I know they were trying to stop me from doing too many things while hurt, but I'm too stubborn to. Besides I'm the best cook here.

I got to work in making breakfast, I was going to make some waffles with a berry sauce. It took me a while to make considering I was making it for a whole group of people, not to mention hungry teenagers. When I was done, I put everything on the dining table and walked to the living room. I knocked on the wall and Adrien looked at me. *Breakfast is done. * I signed to him, he nodded. "Breakfast is done!" He shouted and everyone ran to the dining room, serving themselves. They all sat down in their seats and started eating.

"This is delicious, Melody." Luka said. I nodded in thanks. I ate my own breakfast, I had to agree with Luka, it was very good. Pretty soon everyone was finished, they inhaled it. They all got up and put their dishes on the kitchen bench. "Thank you for breakfast!" they all said. I went to go wash up the dishes, but Adrien tried to stop me. "You made breakfast Mari; I can wash the dishes." Adrien told me. I shook my head. He looked at me sternly. I finally nodded, letting him wash the dishes, besides I had to get ready anyway. He softened his look at me and hugged me, then kissed me on the lips. "I love you, Mari." Adrien told me. *I love you too, Adrien." I signed in response to him.

After he let me go, I went back to my room and got ready. I had a shower and got dressed in this outfit.

It is one of my MDC originals. I feel like I don't wear the clothes I make enough. I then curled my hair and brushed my teeth, then did my makeup.

I then grabbed my bag and walked out to the main room. When I got to the living room everyone else was waiting for me. When they saw me, they stood up. "Let's go." Adrien said. We all walked to the front door and out into the hallway. I shut the door behind us, the door automatically locking. We walked to the elevator and went inside, pressing the button for the ground floor. After the door closed the elevator started moving and after about a minute, we had reached the ground floor. The elevator doors opened, and we walked into the lobby. I walked next to Adrien and grabbed his hand; he looked down at me and smiled.

We saw the class about to board the bus and we walked to them. By the time we got to the rest of the class, they were starting to board the bus. We quickly boarded the bus too and walked to the back. The rest of the class was sitting at the front. I sat down next to Adrien, at the very back. Chloe sat on my other side and the rest of our friends sat around us. When we were all seated the bus took off. Our tour today was of Wayne Enterprise.

We all talked on the way to Wayne Enterprise. All too soon the bus arrived. We were having a really interesting conversation too. When the bus came to a full stop and the doors opened, we all got up and walked out. When we were all out of the bus we walked to the entrance to Wayne Enterprise. When we walked inside, I was amazed by the decor. It looked super fancy and expensive. We all walked to the front desk. As we were walking, I saw Lila trip and fall. I couldn't help myself, so when she looked my way, I signed to her. *Oh, my goodness, is the floor, okay?* She looked so upset, but I guess my friends all saw what I signed, because they were all laughing. Some to the point they were crying. I don't know what was funnier, what happened or my friends' reactions.

Lila eventually got up with Alya's help. When we got to the front desk Mrs. Bustier started to talk to the receptionist asking about our tour. "Hi, we're the French class, we have a tour." The receptionist then looked at the computer and typed something. "Ah yes, your tour guide should be here soon." For some reason this seemed to upset Mrs. Bustier as she started yelling at the receptionist. "What do you mean our tour guide should be here soon. We don't need a tour guide, one of our students can give us a tour."

The receptionist looked a bit shocked that she yelled at her. "Sorry Mrs., but it is required that you have a tour guide." The receptionist replied. Mrs. Bustier wasn't having any of it. She continued to freak out at the receptionist.

I eventually had enough and went up to them. Adrien came with me as back up. *Sorry for my teachers' behavior. Thank you for organising the tour.* I signed, and Adrien translated. I watched as she breathed a sigh of relief. Before anything else could happen, I heard a voice coming from behind us. "I'm here." I turned around and was pleasantly surprised, it was Dick Grayson. "Ah, Mr. Grayson, your here." The receptionist sighed; glad he was finally here.  "Are you all ready for the tour." Dick asked the class. "We don't need you for the tour. We have Lila." Alya spoke. I heard the receptionist gasp. 

 "How may I ask, is Lila supposed to help with the tour?" He asked Alya. "She has been here before; she knows the Wayne's. She is dating Damian Wayne." She responded. I truly didn't know whether to laugh or smack my hand against my forehead. They wouldn't be able to hear me laugh, so I settled for the second option, and smacked my hand against my forehead, it made a resounding slap noise through the entire lobby. I didn't remove my hand, I just left it on my forehead. From behind me I could hear a laugh. I removed my hand from my had and I turned around, only to be surprised AGAIN. There stood Jason Todd, laughing. 

"That is the funniest thing I have ever heard. Damian actually dating someone." Jason managed to get out in between breaths. I slowly felt my mouth curl up into a smile and started to shake my head. Jason eventually got his breathing back to normal, though the smile never left his face. I walked up to him. *What are you doing here?* I asked genuinely curious. "I'm the security guard for the tour, while Dickie bird over there is the tour guide. " Jason explained, my eyes widened in surprise.  *I honestly didn't expect you guys to do the tour. I thought it would be some random staff member.* I signed to him. "Well, surprise!" He said dramatically with his arms out. I laughed silently. 

"Good, you're finally here, took you long enough. We should start the tour now; we have waited long enough." Dick said to Jason. Jason sighed and nodded. "Fine, let's get this over with." Jason said. Dick then nodded and started instructing everyone. "Alright everyone, please form two lines." Dick told the class, and the class reluctantly did as told. The class formed two lines, with me and my friends in the back, and Jason behind us. Dick then started leading everyone. He led us all along the first floor, to begin with, explaining everything to us as we went. None of the class was really paying attention, as they were too busy listening to Lie-la tell lies of her knowing everything about Wayne Enterprise and saying she had been here a lot with her 'Damiboo'.   

Jason was at the back of the class with us, talking to us every so often and answering some of our questions about Wayne Enterprise. This continued until lunch time. When it was lunch time Dick led us all to the cafeteria. It had a bunch of different food stalls; it was like the cafeteria in a mall. There were food stands for McDonald's, KFC, and a bunch of other different things. "You will have an hour to have lunch and then we will continue with the tour." Dick announced. We all split up and went to get out food. I ended up getting some sushi with a coffee and a cookie. Then I got another cookie and snuck it into my bag for Tikki to eat. 

I sat down at a table in the corner where no one was sitting. Eventually my friends came and sat down with their lunches as well. We just sat there talking and eating with each other until Dick and Jason walked up to our table and sat in the last available places, which just so happened to be one on my left and another beside Adrien who was sitting on my right. Jason took the spot next to me and Dick took the spot next to Adrien. "So, how are you liking the tour so far?" Dick asked us. *I am enjoying it; I find it very informative.* I signed in response to him. My friends nodded agreeing with me.

"That's good." Dick said. "Seems like we're the only ones actually paying attention though, which is ridiculous, utterly ridiculous." Chloe responded, voicing my thoughts as well. Though it made me smile knowing my friend was still the same. "Yeah, I'm pretty sure you were." Jason said, agreeing. 

*They were too busy listening to Lie-la's lies to pay attention. Lie-la keeps on telling them fake information, at least they are keeping to themselves though.* I signed to everyone at the table. "Yeah, it is better than them bothering us." Alix said. 

We spent a while just talking and eating together in peace, which is pretty unusual for us. I then finished my food and went to throw away the rubbish. *I'm just going to throw away my trash.* I signed to Adrien. I got up and walked to the rubbish bin and threw away my trash. I went to turn around and walk back to the table, but I was stopped, by someone tripping me. I fell on my back on the floor with a loud thud. My face scrunched up in pain, at the way it flared up my wound. I looked up when I heard snickering and saw Alya. She just stood there snickering at me, lying on the floor in pain. 

I then heard rushed footsteps, I turned my head and saw all my friends, including Jason and Dick, rushing over to me. Adrien was the first one to reach me. "Are you okay, Mari?" He asked, I shook my head. He helped me up carefully and hugged me. I leaned into his hug and breathed in his scent to calm me down. I could hear the rest of my friends dealing with Alya. After I had fully calmed down, I turned around to stop my friends, and I could be imagining it, but I swear I saw a look of sorrow on Nino's face.  I stood in front of my friends and told them to stop. *Guys, that's enough.* I signed to them. "But- " I interrupted them with a stern look, and they relented.  

We all walked back to our table, Adrien right by my side with his arm around me. We sat back down and continued to chat to each other for the rest of the lunch break. I could tell my friends were still upset over what Alya did. I suppose that's why they called themselves the 'Marinette Protection Squad' though. Eventually the lunch break finished, and the tour started again. 

For the rest of the tour my friends were walking a lot closer to me, including Jason, and Adrien kept his arm around me for the entire rest of the tour. We ended the tour back in the lobby. After the tour Dick and Jason walked us to the bus that would take us to the hotel. Everyone lined up and hopped in the bus. It was just me and my friends left. "Goodbye, we will see you all soon. Probably for another tour." Dick said. *Bye, thanks for the tour today. I'm looking forward to the next tour with you guys.* I signed to Dick and Jason. I then hugged them both. "Here, have my phone number, let me know if you need anything Pixie pop." Jason gave me his phone number. "Have mine too." Dick also gave me his phone number.  

We then finished up our goodbyes and went on the bus. Since we were the last ones on the bus, we had to sit at the front this time. I sat next to Adrien, and we both conversed while we were waiting to arrive at the hotel. It wasn't long until we arrived at the hotel and went back to our suite. 

We then had dinner and got ready for bed. After I was ready for bed I walked over to Adrien and said goodnight. *Goodnight Adrien.* "Goodnight, M' lady, and sweet dreams." Adrien kissed me goodnight. I went to bed looking forward to tomorrow and had a dreamless sleep. I was sleeping peacefully until a knock on my door woke me up. 

I got out of bed and opened the door, it was Kagami. *Kagami, what are you doing awake?* I asked her. "I'm sorry Marinette." Kagami said. This confused me greatly. *What for?* I asked. "I'm sorry you got hurt. You wouldn't even be wounded if it weren't for me." Kagami apologised. *Kagami, it's not your fault.* I told her. "But it is my fault." I cut her off before she could continue. * You were Akumatised, you weren't in control, Hawkmoth was. Stop blaming yourself.* I told her with a stern look. I could tell she wasn't taking it, so I hugged her. I'm pretty sure I surprised her as I felt her stiffen slightly before relaxing and returning the hug.  

*It is not your fault and I do not blame you. Now go to bed, we need to sleep, and we have a busy day tomorrow. We need all the rest we can get.* I signed to her. She nodded her head. "Goodnight, Mari-Hime." *Goodnight, Kagami. Have a good sleep.* She then walked back to her bedroom, and I closed the door, before going to bed again. I then fell asleep content and happy, I have my friends.
