Marinette: Alright, you run back to the school bathroom and put the make-up on, and we'll come to class about 5-10 minutes late and make up some excuse.

Alix: I can fake being sick! We'll say I ate some bad Tacos and was feeling sick. Mari gave some of her home remedies, but I'm still feeling a little under the weather.

Kim: That could work.

Marinette: Let's do it!

Lila runs back to the school bathroom, while the others slack behind.

Chloe: I'm really sorry Mari...

Marinette: If anyone should be sorry, it should be me. You guys tried to tell me earlier, but I didn't listen.

Chloe: Lila's ready, let's go.

Nino: We got this dudes!

Max: We'll be by your side 100% of the way, Marinette!

Nathaniel: That's right!

Juleka: We've got your back!

Alix: Anyone who messes with you, has to go through us!

MPS: Yeah!

Marinette: Thanks guys! Now let's go...do...what we do? I'm trying, honestly!

Everyone including Marinette laughs and they start going back to the school.

When they get there, they see a crying Lila being comforted by Adrien.

Adrien: I can't believe you Marinette! How could you beat up Lila!? I know you're jealous, but that's no excuse to bully!

Marinette: What did I "do" this time?

She asks with a bored look on her face, but on the inside she's laughing at how well this is playing out.

Alya: YOU BEAT UP LILA!! HOW COULD YOU!! WHY ARE YOU SO JEALOUS!!

She exclaims getting in Marinette's face.

Lila: I-I-I'm s-s-sorry M-M-Marinette! I-If I w-would've known m-me coming b-back would c-cause so much p-p-problems...I-I would've j-just s-stayed away!

The others all crowd around Lila to comfort her.

Rose: No, Lila! You're just the sweetest person ever! It's not your fault that Marinette is changing for the worse!

Alya: YOU'RE JUST JEALOUS OF LILA'S RELATIONSHIP WITH ADRIEN!!!

Nino: Are you forgetting that Mari helped set up Adrien and Kagami!? If she was "jEaLoUs" she would've acted out much sooner against Kagami!

He yells stepping between Marinette and Alya.

Alya: P-people change-

Alix: Like you!? Weren't you the one that said, "A good reporter always fact checks"?

Alya's face turns red in anger, and then she starts smirking.

Kim: What are you smirking about?

Alya: I just thought you'd be interested to know Alix's little secret~

Juleka: Alya stop!

Alix: YOU WOULDN'T DARE! YOU SWORE, YOU WOULDN'T TELL!

Alya: Max and Kim! Did you know that Alix has the BIGGEST crush on the both of you!

Everyone stands there in stunned silence and watch as Alix runs away in tears.

Marinette: Alix wait!

Mrs. Bustier: Alya that wasn't nice!

Alya: But Miss they were bullying Lila first!

Mrs. Bustier: Even though they're acting out a little, that doesn't give you the right to retaliate.

Marinette: Lila, I just wanna say that I'm sorry for how I've treated you, and if you could find it in your heart to forgive me, I'd really appreciate it. Mind if we hug it out?

Lila: Of course Marinette! I've always wanted to be your friend!

They hug and Lila slips Adrien's Miraculous into Marinette's purse.

Lila: I hope we can be on good terms for the rest of the year!

Alya: Lila, you have a heart of gold!

Mylene: See Marinette? You could learn from her.

Marinette's face twitches a little and she gives them a nod.

Everyone freezes when an explosion goes off in the school's quad.

Kim: Guys, that's Alix!

Marinette: Oh no...
