84Star: As I've stated I would be posting either January or February, and well here's the update!
Now the Spanish ver is still being worked on, and it'll be a while until its done but I'd decided at least for now to upload the new English chapter!
If this does not turn out well I will revert back to waiting for the Spanish ver to be done and uploading both at the same time!
Also, I've realized why slight spoilers was a bad choice, as I worked on the chap...ahaha... I deleted the part I thought would be spoilers cause I thought I'd keep the part, turns out I didn't since I didn't like where the chap was going to... Yeah, Sorry but I do hope you enjoy the chapter as I enjoyed writing it!
Previously:
"Nothing really, just about Paris and the things going on," Amu said with a shrug and Marinette looked at Amu. A small smile on her lips. Amu was her friend and she planned on supporting her anyway just like she would to her. She dismissed her negative thoughts and decided to go on with the day she had with her friends. At the end of the day, only fate knows what's in store for her and the others. In the meantime, they'll enjoy a fun and peaceful outing.
Of course, peace wouldn't be lasting long for Paris.
"Noooo! I was so close!" Alya whined as she lost against Nino at the game they were currently playing, who chuckled and stood up straight with a proud grin.
"Better luck next time, Alya." He said. The others laughed as Alya sulked for a while longer, before looking around for other games.
"Hey! lets play that one!" She said as she noticed a dancing game there.
"Sure! That way I can show off my amazing dance moves." Nino said as he did a little dance. Alya rolled her eyes before laughing with the others at Nino's dancing before approaching the game.
"So, who will play first?" Amu asked, as she stared at the selection of songs to choose from.
"Well, since it can be played by pairs, why don't Adrien and Marinette go first?" She suggested already placing a hand on their backs and pushing them to the stage of the game.
"Wha-? No wait- I- I can't-I-" Marinette tried to speak as she had stepped on the stage. Adrien was ready facing Marinette.
"Ready?" He asked as he was ready to place coins within the machine, Marinette's fluster wouldn't let out a word.
"Is it always like that?" Amu whispered to Alya as she took a sip of her drink watching Marinette.
"It isn't even half of it," Alya said as she shook her head with a slight laugh at her best friend's attempt at trying to speak properly. In the end, Marinette nodded; ready to start and a dance off began. Alya and Amu cheering Marinette, who began catching up with her score against Adrien, seeming to forget her shyness with him. Mariette laughed as she danced away. The song ended and Adrien had ended up winning with Marinette close in score.
"Haha! Adrien you sure got some moves!" Nino laughed.
"Better luck Next time, girl." Alya said as Marinette got off the tiny stage.
"Maybe," She giggled, still caught up in the fun she had.
"So what should we do next?" Nino asked. The group thought for a while as they looked around. They have been around for a while and tried most of the games, so it got even though which games to play and which they would actually enjoy. Amu noticed a game that offer plushies as a prize, she ended up staring for a while admiring how cute they all were, the plushies ranging from stuff bears to bunnies, fishes, pups, and cats. She mostly admired the cats noticing the range of colors and tiny accessories each cat had.
"I think Amu might have chosen the next game," Adrien said, Amu turned to face the group with a slight blush as they caught her staring.
"Not really." She said trying to play it cool while taking another sip from her soda and avoiding eyes contact. Adrien chuckled and Alya shook her head with a smile.
"Let's go then!" She said and the group began to walk to their new destination in the place. Getting closer, they noticed it has a basketball game. Each of them were talking for what plush they were aiming for, Amu just stared at the blue cat. A small smile on her lips relating to the blue haired cat that visited her often, and with teases till no end. Her eyes then drifted off to the black cat next to it, noting the green eyes it had, as she recalled the other cat guy she had met. Like Ikuto, probably- flirtatious but humble with a few bad puns. She giggled at the thought.
"I'd like to play a round," She heard and turned to see Adrien giving in a few arcade coins to the man at the post. The man grunted, clearly bored for just being there, as he prepared the game with a one-minute timer on. Adrien ready himself before nodding. The sound of a horn rang. The basketball fell in front of him; grabbing the first. he made the ball in, 25 seconds in the basket began to move forward, backward, up and down. However Adrien continues to make the shots occasionally missing one or two, and with every 5 shots in a row an extra 10 seconds to the game, the whole gang watched in amusement at Adrien's movements, until the sound of the horn was shot again.
"Congratulation, base on your score you can choose any of these prizes," The person in charge of the game said ever so boredly and lazily motioning at the stuff animals Adrien could've chosen from.
"I'd like the black cat please," Adrien asked pointing to one of the cats Amu had been staring at. The man glanced over and with a heavy sigh he looked over at the boxes near the game to look for it, however finding none in the box.
"You're in luck kid, last one of it." The man said as he took the one from the display and gave it to Adrien.
"Thanks!" Adrien said as he turned to face his friends.
"That was great Adrien! Now it's my turn to show I can score better!" Nino said and Adrien laughed.
"Alright, pal...If you can make it at least half way." He answered and received a light punch from Nino who chuckled and Adrien laughed. Nino went to start the game with the girls ready to watch. "Here you go, Amu." Adrien said giving Amu the black cat plushie. Amu turning looked at him confused.
"For me?" She questioned and eyebrow raised and Adrien chuckled.
"Yeah, for you." He said as Amu reached for it.
"Why?" She asked looking up at him.
"I notice you staring at the cats, and you giggled when you stared at this one. I thought you've might've wanted it." Adrien said as Amu finally had the plush in her hands, she gave a small smile.
"Thanks," she said, "uh, you didn't have to." she said putting on the facade on command. Adrien smiled.
Marinette had glanced over as she watched the interaction.
"Marinette?" she heard a whisper and glanced down at her purse noting a worried Tikki. Marinette gave her a smile to reassure her but as she turned back to face the other two she couldn't help but let her smile fade.
"No way!" Nino complained as he noticed he was just a few points shorter than Adrien, none the less he still ranges within the same options of prizes. Adrien patted his shoulder as Nino slightly pouted and glared at him. Before Nino could claim a prize the building shock. Yelling, screaming began to fill the arcade as people began running. cracks became evident on the ceiling and walls.
"We have to get out of here!" Marinette shouted as they began to head to the exit, they were half ways when she heard crying looking around she noted two children crying as they held onto each other in fear. No one stopped to help them move as the arcade was nearly empty. The building shook once again with pieces of cement now falling.
"Amu!" Marinette shouted as she saw Amu run to another part of the arcade unaware as to why. Marinette was ready to go after her but Adrien stopped her.
"I'll go after her, Marinette. you guy have to get out!"
"but -" Marinette began.
"Don't worry, I'm sure Ladybug and Chat noir are on their way. If anything happens they'll help us out, the fewer people in danger the better." Adrien said and Marinette nodded now ready to find a way out and transform. Adrien smiled before running after Amu and Marinette with Alya and Nino to the exit.
Amu had reached the kids and began comforting them and lifting them up carrying both children.
"Amu!" Adrien shouted as he saw her, noting the two kids with her, now understanding her reason to run back. Not like there could've been any other reason a person would return to go further inside a slowly collapsing building. Reaching her, Adrien helped Amu by carrying the other child.
"Let's go." Adrien said and Amu nodded as they ran to get out the now empty arcade. Another rumble was heard as they neared the exit Amu stopped running, placing the child down motioning them to continue running. She looked at the ceiling noting a big peace ready to fall on in front of the exit. She picked up the child once again and grabbed Adrien's arm pulling him to face her as she gave him the child pushing him through the doors just as the chunk of cement began to fall. Adrien fell to the ground with the two children as the cement had blocked the exit. The children coughed at the amount of dust there was as Adrien noted Amu hadn't made it out.
Amu groaned as she fell backward into the arcade due to the force she placed on Adrien and trying to move away from the falling ceiling, She coughed.
"Amu, are you ok?!" Adrien called out.
"Yeah! Don't worry about me! I know another exit to get out from!" she shouted. "you have to take those kids to safety!" she continued. Adrien hesitated for a while before nodding.
"Alright, make it out safely!" He shouted.
"I will!" Amu responded. "I hope," she mumbled as she looked back, at the giant room she had to get out from fast before the whole building collapse on her.
