It wasn’t difficult for Marinette to lose track of time at Mesmerize. It was a much needed hangout for the blue-haired girl, an act of desperation to spend time in solitude. Of course, the girl still had Tikki in her purse, but it was still nice to browse the aisles of the various stores and not worry too long about loitering. Except the sun had set before she had realized it, and night was already here in the world of Wonderland. She needed to get home before she missed the last bus.
The girl didn’t waste any time leaving the food court and heading towards the stop that she had become well acquainted with. Two buses used this stop, and she hoped that the one she saw wasn’t the one that she desperately needed. Blue eyes widened when she realized that it was her bus, and the hoard of people were already going on it. And Marinette was still a few feet away, too many for any driver to assume she would be boarding the bus.
“Wait!” she called out, reaching out with her arm. “Hold that bus!” Marinette was already breaking into a run, lucky for the endurance that she had built as her alter ego. “Please hold the bus!” she called out again.
