Chapter Text
“So due to the success of the ball, it has been suggested to me to send you two into competition,” Madame Bustier began. “Now, it had crossed my mind after watching you two last week, but I think we will see what you think after today, shall we?”
“Huh?” Adrien managed to articulate.
“She’s going to work us pretty hard today, chaton. Madame Bustier wants to see whether we are up for going competition after today.” Ladybug explained with a smile.
“Like a trail period?”
“Something like that,” his lady replied before turning to face Madame Bustier.

When Madame Bustier was satisfied, she let them have a break, promising them they would have to show her all those moves afterwards to show they understood.
“Wow, she really is serious about working us to the bone, huh?” he asked as they drank deeply from their bottles.
“She wants us to do well,” Ladybug shrugged. “Plus, she is serious about entering us into competition and well, we need to be pushed to reach that level.”
“Are you saying we aren’t at that level, m’lady?” Adrien asked surprised.
“Not for competition, and not for tango,” she told him. “We are both new to this. I’m too scared of tripping over my own two feet and you are distracted,” she added carefully.
“Oh but it’s your beauty, m’lady, that distracts me,” he said with a little bow, careful not to spill his drink bottle as he did. She rolled her eyes but there was a smile on her lips.
“Come now, minou, it’s time to stop trying to flirt with me and get this right,” she instructed, putting her drink bottle down and waving a finger at him, gesturing for him to follow.
Knowing he’d follow her anywhere, Adrien screwed on the lid of his bottle and all but threw it in the direction of his bag before he trotted after her.
