*listening to "Never Let You Go" by Justin Beiber*

Nothing like a little Beibz to get you in a writing mood....I guess...

Adrien read his text message and smiled in approval. He managed to tell his friend an excuse without giving too much away. Hopefully Nino would spread the word to the rest of his friends once he heard the news.

The message had said that he would be on an overseas trip with his father and wouldn't be back for the next week. It wasn't entirely true, but it would at least keep Adrien out of the picture for awhile. Normally Adrien would still sneak out or Nino would come up with some strategic plan to get in. This way the latter wouldn't happen.

Everything was ready, and so was he. As a girl, he could meet Marinette all over again and become her close friend, without making her feel uncomfortable. It was a good plan, at least that's what he thought. He could sneak out as Chat Noir, transform back already wearing his female clothes, and sneak back in before his bodyguard ever realized he was gone.

Adrien's plan was flawless.

He yawned as he walked over to the window, noticing that the sky had already grown dark. He wondered if Ladybug was looking at the same view at this very moment.

The blonde changed into his night clothes and slipped into bed. "Tomorrow I wake up a new man, or in this case a new girl." He smiled at the strange thought and closed his eyes thinking about how exciting the next day might be.

~~~~~~

Adrien slept until the crack of dawn. He slowly rose from his slumber as the sun began to shine light through his entire bed room. He sat up and yawned before slipping out of bed. Once his mind and body were fully awake Adrien suddenly remembered his plan, he smiled and headed towards his closet. It took some time, but eventually he was able to put his ensemble from last night back together again.

"Alright Plagg, time to get going." He looked around for his kwami. "Plagg?"

The blonde followed the faint sound of snoring until he found himself in front of the trashcan. There he found Plagg curled up inside surrounded by empty camembert wrappers.

Adrien frowned at the sight. "Come on Plagg, we gotta go."

The kwami groaned and wrapped himself in one of the wrappers. "Five more minutes."

The model rolled his eyes, grabbed the little cat kwami by his tail and pulled him out of the trash. "Even if I did agree to that, you'd just say the same thing five minutes from now."

"Ten minutes then?"

"Claws out Plagg." Adrien transformed and proceeded to make his exit through the bathroom window.

He hopped across the rooftops heading towards the park, since he knew that Marinette lived near by he wondered if she would spend the day there. Once he reached the park he found a secluded spot outside of the entrance to transform back. As he walked towards the entrance it suddenly occured to him that he would need to walk more feminine in order to set the belief that he was female. Luckily for him all those times being turned into Refleckta gave him the practice to turn his stride into a much more feminine walk.

Adrien caught the attention of a few bystanders, but continued walking doing his best to pay them no mind. He was used to others staring, mainly because he was famous, but he hoped that his disguise was believable enough for people not to recognize him and possibly blow his cover.

Once he reached the park, Adrien looked around for any sign of the blunette. He figured if he couldn't find her here he could stop by the bakery and see if he'll run into her there. Luckily, there was no need since he spotted the girl with Alya sitting on a bench. They were both looking at Alya's phone, probably looking at a video for the ladyblog.

Adrien smiled and almost called out to them, but quickly remembered that they're not supposed to know who he is right now. The blonde took a breathe and proceeded to approach the two females. "Hi there!" He said in his best feminine voice. The two females looked up in surprise. Adrien smiled politely hoping they wouldn't see through his disguise and repeated his greeting "Hi."

"Hey." Alya said smiling back as Marinette remained silent. "Is there something we could help you with?"

The blonde felt the nervous feeling he has build up a bit. Marinette still hadn't responded to his greeting and was staring at him blankly. He took another breathe and continued. "Well you see...I'm new in town and I don't really know a lot of people here so I was hoping if I could try to meet some new people you girls looked nice so I was hoping to introduce myself."

Alya stood up smiling brightly. "We're always open to making new friends here. My name's Alya."

"Mines Adrie...Adri....AdrieNNE." he stuttered nervously. "Yeah Adrienne."

"Wow you almost have the same name as a friend of ours." Alya looked over at Marinette. "The awkward one here is my friend Marinette." She snapped her finger bringing the girl out of her stupor. "Girl, are you okay?"

"S..Sorry." Marinette finally spoke looking at Adrienne. "It's just you look REALLY familiar to me and I was wondering if we met before."

"No I don't think we have." Adrien chuckled nervously. "It's okay though, I get that a lot."

Marinette smiled and Adrien got the feeling that his plan was going to be a success.

The three "females" began to chat some more. Asking different questions about each other. For most questions Adrien decided to stick with the truth but for others he came up with different answers so he wouldn't be too obvious.

It seemed like things were going well until an explosion in the distance caused them to all jump. Alya gave Marinette a knowing look and Marinette nodded before running off in a random direction.

Before Adrien could ask where she was going, Alya grabbed his hand and began running in the opposite direction. "Yeah so we kind of have these akuma attacks every other day, but you know welcome to Paris! You should get somewhere safe or head back home." She began to run towards the explosion.

"Wait where are you going?!" He asked concerned.

Alya pulled out her phone. "I'm gonna get some footage for the ladyblog you should check it out if you haven't already its really cool!"

Before Adrien could respond the girl was already gone. He was concerned for their safety but he needed to find a place to safely transform. He ran down the street and found an alley that was empty.

"Alright Plagg Claws out!" He transformed and heading straight for the commotion.
