"Alright everyone, find yourself a partner to practice with for the rest of the hour. If you need help, I'll be in my office," said Armand D'Argencourt before trailing out of the room, leaving the large group of teenagers by themselves.

Marinette began looking around for a certain blonde. This was quite a difficult task, considering that most of the people in the room still had their helmets pulled over their face. As she strained to look for him, a warm hand was placed on her shoulder from behind.

"Looking for someone?" Marinette jumped at the sound of his voice. She turned around to see his warm green eyes gazing at her fondly. He winked as they made eye contact, causing both of them to burst into a fit of laughter.

"Very funny, Agreste," she replied, placing her own hand over the one that was still resting on her shoulder. "The only person I was looking for was you." He knocked her helmet down over her face playfully as she did the same to him. She took a few steps backwards, sadly tripping over her own feet as she did.

"Woah there, Mari," Adrien exclaimed, taking a step forward to steady her. "I think you should invest in some 'how to properly walk backwards' lessons," he said, probably winking under the mask. His playful attitude when you couldn't see his face reminded her of someone else, but she couldn't quite place her finger on it.

"Oh, yeah, definitely. Would you mind being my instructor?" she replied sarcastically.

"I may not can help with that, but.." He pulled out his foil from its holder on his waist. "I bet I can help you with this!" he said, tapping her own holder with the tip of the foil.

Relationships are a lot like a painting: beautiful or ugly, small or big -they all need a frame; eventually, they need to be hung up, and admired for what they represent.  Many artists ruin a good piece of work by adding too much to the canvas; likewise, a relationship sometimes needs to just be framed and admired.

Much of our pain at the end of these things comes from wishing we had more, and resenting all the lines we were not able to put on canvas, or at least the ones that came out crooked. It's often best, however, to sign and date your masterpiece before it becomes unrecognizable, and incapable of being admired - Good or bad.
