A Christmas Adrinette Manga

[001-01]

Marinette Tikki! I'm making Adrien an advent calendar as a Christmas present!

SFX BOMMM

[001-02]

Tikki An advent calendar?

Marinette Yeah.

[001-03]

Marinette You count down to Christmas with a chocolate every day ❤️

Marinette I'm going to write a message in each chocolate's wrapping paper ❤️

[001-04]

Marinette And this is what I'm going to write as the message for the last day on the calendar!

SFX smitten

Marinette "Merry Christmas, Adrien. I love you"...

[001-05]

Tikki I think that's wonderful! Do your best, Marinette!

[002-01]

Plagg What are you grinning about, Adrien?

[002-02]

SFX heh

Adrien Marinette gave me an advent calendar. She wrote a Christmas message on the wrapping paper for each chocolate.

[002-03]

Adrien This one says, "You should make sure to give your reindeer apples. If you don't, they might eat Rudolph's nose!" I wonder if Marinette came up with all of these herself?

Adrien [Marinette is so funny.]

[002-04]

Plagg Does this advent thingy have cheese in it, too?

Adrien No.

[002-05]

Plagg ...Is it hidden somewhere else, then?

Adrien Stop, Plagg, you're supposed to open one door each day.

[003-01]

Plagg Hmmph! It's from your baker girlfriend,

Plagg so it should have something delicious in it!

[003-02]

Adrien Marinette's just a friend, Plagg.

[003-03]

Plagg Just a friend, huh? Is that why you're keeping every little piece of paper she wrote a message on?

Adrien It's because it's like getting a letter every day. It makes me happy.

[003-04]

Adrien Marinette is a wonderful girl...and a precious friend.

Plagg Well, that's just what I think, anyway.

[003-05]

Plagg Then give me some cheese, if there's none in here!

Adrien I give you cheese all the time.

[004-01]

Caption December 24th. (The last day of the advent calendar)

SFX pop

Plagg I'm sure the last day is a special cheese.

[004-02]

Caption Plagg can go through objects.

[004-03]

Adrien Plagg, what are you doing?

SFX start

[004-04]

SFX a HOMF

SFX gurk

[004-05]

Adrien Did you eat the last chocolate from the advent calendar?

[004-06]

Plagg I'm sorry, Adrien.

SFX droop

Plagg I was sure the last one would be a delicious camembert.

[004-07]

Plagg I ate so fast I ate the wrapper, too. [Blurggg]

Caption He's gagging

[005-01]

Marinette Tikki! Adrien texted me!!!

[005-02]

Marinette "Can we meet up today?"

SFX thump thump

Marinette He must have read my confession...

[005-03]

Marinette What is he gonna say? I'm scared, Tikki!

SFX Ahhhhh!

Tikki It's okay! I'm sure it's nothing bad, Marinette!

[005-04]

Adrien I'm sorry!

[005-05]

Marinette What...?

[006-01]

Adrien I...lost the last chocolate from the advent calendar...

Adrien I wasn't able to read your last message...

[006-02]

SFX glance

Adrien I looked forward to them every day, so I wanted to apologize...

[006-03]

SFX phew

Marinette Oh, thank goodness...

[006-04]

Adrien Huh?

SFX flustered

Marinette Uh, um...no, I mean, I was worried about something completely different!

[006-05]

Marinette I'm really happy that you looked forward to the notes every day. Don't worry about it.

Marinette Besides...

Marinette I'm really happy that I got to see you today. [Even if my feelings remain secret...]

[007-01]

SFX squeeze

[007-02]

Adrien So what did you write

Adrien in the last note?

[007-03]

Marinette Ah...

[007-04]

Marinette Er...

Marinette "Merry Christmas, Adrien..."

[007-05]

SFX thump thump

Marinette "...I"

Marinette "I...

[007-06]

Marinette l...

Marinette love you."

[007-07]

Marinette ...

SFX smile

Marinette "I hope you have a lovely day..."

[008-01]

Adrien Ahhh, I see.

SFX ruffle

Adrien Yeah, okay...

[008-02]

SFX blush

Marinette I should have just told him. I'm so stupid!

[008-03]

Adrien Oh...

[008-04]

Adrien Sorry, Marinette.

Adrien My ride is here.

[008-05]

Adrien Sorry to make you come out here for something so silly.

Adrien Have a Merry Christmas.

[008-06]

SFX glance

[008-07]

Adrien Marinette,

Adrien I'd love to make you an advent calendar next year.

Adrien Will you show me how to make one?

[009-01]

Adrien ...It's okay if you don't want to.

SFX shy

[009-02]

Marinette Of course!

SFX shine

Marinette Of course I'll show you!

[009-03]

SFX wave

Adrien [See ya.]

[009-04]

Marinette ...

SFX thump thump thump thump

SFX mumble

Marinette Adrien...I love you...

[010-01]

Marinette In the end, I still wasn't able to tell him how I feel, Tikki.

[010-02]

Tikki But you have something to look forward to now!

[010-03]

Marinette It's true, Tikki.

SFX fwump

Marinette I never thought he'd say something like that to me. It was like a dream come true.

[010-04]

Tikki Looks like you've cheered up a bit, Marinette!

Marinette Thanks, Tikki. I'll do my best next time.

[011-01]

Plagg Adrien, are you still mad?

[011-02]

Adrien No.

[011-03]

Plagg You got to head what was in the note you couldn't read, so what's the matter?

Adrien ...I just feel kind of unsatisfied.

[011-04]

Plagg Unsatisfied?

[011-05]

Adrien I could tell from all the previous notes that she wrote them trying to make me happy.

SFX sit up

[011-06]

Adrien But what she said today wasn't like that...it was like a Christmas form letter...

[012-01]

Adrien ...I think I was hoping for a special message from her.

Adrien But that's weird, right? We're just friends. Why should I expect something special?

[012-02]

Adrien Maybe I want to be a special friend to her?

[012-03]

Plagg Aren't you just making everything too complicated?

Plagg If I want to say something, I say it simply. Like, cheese and bread are a perfect match!

[012-04]

Adrien You're obsessed with cheese, Plagg. [And we're not talking about cheese.]

[012-05]

Adrien ...Oh well. We're going to make an advent calendar together next year, so maybe she'll become my special friend.

SFX dreamy

Plagg SIGHHH

[012-06]

Plagg As long as you're happy, I guess.

Plagg More importantly, where's my Christmas cheese?

Caption Needy Plagg

Caption That's love, Adrien!
