《Out With The Old, In With The New》Chapter 3 - Month 2
Advertisement
Its nighttime in the 3rd weekend of the 2nd month and we see the entire MPS via group video call.
Nino: I have an idea dudes and dudettes!
Kagami: We're listening.
Everyone goes quiet waiting for Nino to explain his idea.
Nino: So, everyone thinks that Mari and Lila are friends, which they are. But here's what I think; They may act like they're your friends again and then go back to not being your friends after something happens. And you did say that the "test" lasts for 4 months right?
Chloe: Yeah?
Nino: So we get Lila to start it up again on Monday, and see if they believe Lila or Marr.
Luka: That's actually really smart!
Lila: I can do that!
Marinette: That'll work. Besides, we need something to do until Kacey, Jason, and Luke get here.
Chloe: Honestly.
Kagami: I can't believe Adrien knew and didn't say anything.
Marinette: I know! That man had the audacity to tell me to take the high road!
Lila: Messed up! Not even- that's just betrayal!
Chloe: I can't believe that Cesaire said that I'd never change though!
Nathaniel: If anyone won't change it's her.
Ivan: Yeah!
Max: That's right! She's a hypocrite! She says "A good reporter always fact checks." But I didn't see her doing any fact checking as soon as something new and shiney comes along.
Alix: Max woke up and chose violence.
Max: I'm still mad about that orange juice!
Kim: That was over 3 weeks ago! Please, let it go!?
Max: No!
Marinette: Max is right though.
Luka: Hold on, I thought Sabrina was Chloe's first friend?
Chloe: Nope! If I'm being completely honest, I didn't like her. She's a complete pushover and when it comes to doing things for people she can't stand up for herself or take no for an answer.
Juleka: Can you believe Rose though? The fact that she didn't believe you, even though you were literally the reason why her music career is taking off.
Nathaniel: For real! She wouldn't even have been interested in music if Marinette hadn't sent in your guys' music video for Kitty Section.
Luka: I know right!
Marinette: And get this! When I dropped Alya, Adrien said I was the one being mean.
Nino: I'm honestly going to beat his ass! Nobody is holding me back!
Marinette: It's getting late guys. I'm gonna go.
Everyone: Good night Mari/Marr/Melody
Marinette: G'Night everyone.
They hang up and go to their bed and starts reading one of their books.
Tikki: I'm glad you decided to give that boy a chance Marinette.
Marinette: I am too...he can be really sweet sometimes. Maybe it won't be so bad having him around...
Mrs. Dupain-Cheng comes up and Tikki quickly hides behind Marinette's lamp.

Sabine: You've got a package Marinette.
Marinette: For me?
Sabine: Yes, from a Kacey Arcs. Do you know a Kacey?
Marinette: Yes, Mama, he was someone I used to hang out with.
Sabine: That's really sweet that he's sending you packages honey!
Marinette: He can be sweet...
Sabine: I'll leave this at the door and you can get it when you're ready.
Marinette: Thank you, Mama.
Sabine leaves the box near her trap door and goes back down to the bakery. After she leaves, Marinette gets out of bed to grab the box. They jump back on their bed and starts opening their package.
Tikki: What do you think is in there Marinette?
Marinette: I don't know, Tikki. But...it was really nice of him to go through the trouble to do this.
Tikki: You deserve it, Marinette, you're amazing!
Marinette: (Laughs) Thanks, Tikki. You're amazing too, Tikki.
Tikki: Thanks Marinette!
They open up the box and sees it's separated into compartments with different things in each part.
Marinette: Wow...
Tikki: That's a lot of stuff Marinette.
Marinette: I know. I don't even know where to start.
Tikki: How about this one?
Tikki picks up a poem and drops it in Marinette's hands.
Marinette: It looks like Kacey wrote it himself.
Tikki: He probably doesn't a lot of time on that Marinette.
"Your eyes are like Sapphires, the deepest shade of blue.
I get mesmerized and my heart beats fast everytime I think of you.
I got and wrote these gifts for you, because it's what I do.
I just want my dream of being with you to come true..."
Marinette: Wow...
Tikki: That was so sweet! It put Adrien's to shame!
Marinette: I know...
They pick up what was under the poem and sits there wide eyed.
Marinette: These are his favorite...
Tikki: Wow, Marinette, he must REALLY like you! Look, there's a note attached!
Marinette takes the note off and reads it.
"I know since you're Ladybug you can't take your earrings off, so I got you some extension backings. You put them on the back of your earrings and loop the earrings you wanna wear into the backing. I hope you like them, Bugababe."
~Your lover boy 💙~
Marinette: He really is amazing Tikki...
Tikki: Tell him, Marinette! If he went to all this trouble to give you all this, then he must be crazy for you!
Marinette: I...I guess so.
They grab their phone and start texting Kacey.

I'm
❤
They close their phone and put their hands on their face.
Marinette: Tikki, my face is hot. What's happening to me?
Tikki: It's love Marinette! You're in love with Kacey!
Marinette: N-no...I can't be...
Tikki: You said you'd give him a chance, Marinette. Just think of all the things you'd enjoy with Kacey that you wouldn't with Adrien.

Marinette: Oh my god...I'm in love with Kacey! This is either VERY good or VERY bad, but I guess you're right, Tikki. I did promise to give him a chance.
Tikki: That's the spirit, Marinette! Now, let's look through this stuff. It all looks very interesting!
Marinette: It does...
They pull out a Neon Green jacket and pull off a note.
Marinette: Did he really need notes for everything?
Tikki: It's probably a representation of his adoration for you!
Marinette: Maybe Tikki...
"You're always taking my jackets and hoodies, so I thought I'd give you a few. The Neon Green matches with the earrings; make sure you wear it on the day we come to Paris...I wanna match with you 💙"
~Your lover boy 💙~
Marinette: Awesome!
Tikki: That's so cool Marinette!
Marinette: I know!
They go to grab something else when their phone goes off with a message from their group chat.

Everyone has gone offline
Marinette closes their phone and goes back to looking at the stuff in the package.
Tikki: Look Marinette! There's chocolates in there!
Marinette: Chocolates?
Tikki pulls out a box of chocolate and drops it on the bed.
Marinette: "Ramano Secanno's filled chocolate" I LOVE Ramano's chocolate! I...can't believe he remembered...
They take a note off the box and Tikki starts reading it.
"I know how much you like these chocolates, Marinette, so here you go. I'm not the biggest fan of chocolates, so if you want more just let me know. If you're wondering how I remembered, I got a little tip off from Chlo 😉"
~Your lover boy 💙~
Tikki: Wow, Marinette, he must really love you!
Marinette: I guess so...maybe he really has changed...
Tikki: Can I try a chocolate Marinette?
She looks at Marinette with the baby doll eyes, and Marinette can't help but say yes.
Marinette: Sure, Tikki!
They open the box and takes out a strawberry filled chocolate.
Marinette: This is one of the best flavors there is!
Tikki takes a bite of the chocolate and swallows it with a huge grin on her tiny face.
Tikki: This is really good Marinette!
Marinette: I told you it's the best.
Tikki: The only thing left is a letter!
Marinette takes the letter out and puts the box at the bottom of their latter. She reads the letter before deciding to turn in for the night.
"Dear Marinette,
I really wish you could've stayed with me in the America. I would've told you this sooner, but I chickened out...if it makes you feel any better Jason and Luke grilled me for it for the last 2 years until I decided to write this today.
I don't really know what you think of me currently, but I think you're the most extraordinary woman I've ever met. Even if you don't feel the same about me, I'll always feel this way about you. That's one thing that will never change.
You make everyday of mine better then the last. You make me happy when I'm upset. You help me up when I fall. You make the worst days of my life barrable.
When I'm around you, I feel like I'm floating, my heart races, and I feel like I can't breathe. My chest gets tight and I feel like my stomach is full of butterflies. My heart pounds in my chest and I feel like I'm going to faint.
I'm not gonna lie to you, I don't think it's a small crush, and I can't exactly describe it as love, yet it feels like it. I don't really know how to describe it because we haven't seen eachother and we only talk over text or voice call, but whatever it is...I love it.
Honestly, it broke my heart when you left. I'm sorry I didn't say anything after you left. I'm sorry I waited this long. I regret not telling you this then, but I am now.
There are so many things that I regret not telling you when I had the chance, but I'll tell you when we get to Paris. I don't know why I can't describe how I feel but...it's definitely not anything small.
You deserve the world Marinette, you deserve everything and more. I'd give you any and everything for you to see that. And if I could go back in time, I'd make sure that I told you all this before you left...just so I could see your face back then...one last time."
~Kacey Arcs 💙💚~
Marinette: I'm- He- I just...
They wipe tears from their eyes and take a picture of the letter.
Tikki: That was so romantic! It's like he put his heart and soul right there on the page!
Marinette: He really did...I honestly can't believe I used to like that spineless coward! Kacey is 1,000,000 times more amazing!
Tikki: Me either. He isn't nice at all.
Marinette: This feels like a dream.
They fall back on the bed letting the words of the letter circle around in their head.
Marinette: And if it is...I don't wanna ever wake up. Good Night Tikki.
Tikki: Good Night Marinette.
Tikki lays on Marinette's pillow and Marinette lays down too, careful not to squish Tikki. They let the words play in their head over and over all through the night.
