At the Liberty, Anthony, Aiden, Rylan, and Kyanna walked across the gangplank and to the front door. Anthony knocked on the door.

Anarka: I'll get it. *She closed her book, walked to the front door, and opened the door. * Aye, hello.

Anthony: Hello, you're here for rehearsal, right?

Aiden: Yes, ma'am.

Anarka: No need to be so formal, call me Anarka.

Aiden: Okay.

Anarka: Come on in. *They walked inside the Houseboat and Anarka closed the door. In the living room, Snowflake rolled over and at with her squeaky bone. * Luka and Juleka are in their cabin. I'll go get them. *She goes to the cabin, Snowflake saw them, and she panted. *

Anthony: I didn't know they had a dog. *He rubbed her head, and she rolled over. Then, Juleka and Luka came out of their cabin together. *

Luka: Oh, hey.

Anthony: (Rubbing Snowflake's head) Hey. We'll be up deck setting up for rehearsal.

Luka: Okay. Our friends will be here soon.

Rylan: Okay. *He walked up the deck with his drumsticks and Aiden took his keytar up too. *

Kyanna: Anthony, you coming?

Anthony: Yeah, in a minute. *Snowflake licked Anthony's face, he chuckled. * Good boy.

Luka: It's a girl.

Anthony: Oh. Good girl.

Juleka: Guess she likes you.

Anthony: I'm a dog person. *Snowflake panted and looked at Luka and Juleka. * Let's go.

Luka: Okay. *They walked to the upper deck and set up for rehearsal. At the Bubble shop, the limo parked outside The Bubble. *

Zoe: Here it is. *She opened the limo door and she, Jessica, and Aeon stepped out of the limo and saw the sight of the building. *

Jessica: The Bubble?

Zoe: Yeah. People say this is the best Boba shop in Paris.

Jessica: Okay. But I'd like to be the judge of that. *They walked inside the Boba shop and stopped at the counter. *

Male customer: (Taking his boba tea drink) Thank you.

Patrick: You're welcome, enjoy your Boba tea. *He looked at Zoe, Jessica, and Aeon. * Hello and welcome to The Bubble, where we sell Boba tea, milk, you name it. What flavor would you like? *They looked at the menu board and saw what kind they wanted. *

Jessica: Hmm. So many flavors to choose from. What do you think is better?

Zoe: I'll have the honey milk tea.

Patrick: Okay, so honey, milk tea, and would you like the tapioca balls?

Zoe: Yes, please?

Patrick: Okay. What about you?

Jessica: I'll have the passion fruit boba tea.

Patrick: Okay. Passion fruit, a smoothie kind, and you want a topping for your iced tea?

Jessica: What kind do you have?

Patrick: Popping boba pearls, black tapioca pearls, brown sugar milk tea...

Jessica: The popping boba, please?

Patrick: Okay. And what about you?

Aeon: Honeydew melon milk tea.

Patrick: Okay, what kind of topping would you like?

Aeon: Pearl tapiocas, please?

Patrick: Okay. Your total is 10 euros.

Zoe: Okay. *She opened her purse, handed Patrick a 10-euro bill, he opened his register and put the money inside, and closed it up. *

Patrick: Your drinks will be ready shortly.

Zoe, Jessica, and Aeon: Thank you. *They go find a seat and wait for their drinks to be called. Soon, Zoe's phone buzzed, she got it out and saw it was a message from Juleka. *

🐯: Hey. Are you coming to the Liberty to watch us rehearse?

🐝: Yeah. I can bring Jess and Aeon with me.

🐯: Okay.

Patrick: Order #17, your drinks are ready. *Jessica looked at the recipe and it's their order. *

Jessica: That's ours.

Aeon: I'll get it. *She goes up to the counter and gets the drinks. * Thank you.

Patrick: You're welcome. Have a good day.

Aeon: We will. Thank you. *She walked back to their table with their drinks. * Here you go. *She handed Zoe her honey milk tea, Jessica her Passion Fruit boba tea, and herself her Honeydew melon milk tea, they all started drinking their drinks. Jessica noticed the writing on Zoe's shoes. *

Jessica: Your shoes are pretty cool. Guess your friends add their designs to them?

Zoe: (Looking at her shoes) Yeah.

Aeon: How did you and Zoe become friends, if you don't mind me asking?

Jessica: Want me to tell the story?

Zoe: Yeah, it's... kinda hard to tell it.

Jessica: Okay. *She takes a sip of her boba tea. * This happened at Armstrong High School.

~Flashback~

Jessica's voice: It was passing time when I heard screaming in the halls, I looked over and saw Zoe whose locker was full of roaches. Then there was a group of bullies heading her way.

Yui: You make it so easy. *Yui walked towards Zoe. * Should've known someone as gullible as you would be so easy to pick on. It's getting pretty old, yet entertaining. *She sticks a piece of chewing gum in her mouth and chews on it.

Zoe: Why are you doing this? *Diana chuckled. *

Yui: (Walking up to Zoe and knocking her beanie off her head) Why you may ask? Because it's fun.

Diego: We also teach people a thing or two about what happens when you cross our path. And you're the prime victim of the whole school.

Zoe: Just leave me alone. I haven't done anything to any of you.

Sherry: Pop quiz: What happens when you confront a bully but are too scared to take back what you said? *Zoe couldn't answer that question. * You don't know? Seriously?! *The bullies laughed at Zoe. *

Yui: You're even better than the people we bullied in this dump of a school. Such a loser. *They keep belittling and Sherry pushes Zoe to the ground, some boys start pulling her hair and laughing at her face. Jessica scowled, slammed her locker shut, and walked up to the bullies. *

Jessica: Do you even know that it's not nice to do these stupid pranks with a girl?

Even: Bruh! Look who it is... Jessica, don't anyone tell you to not invade someone's business? *A group of bullies laugh. *

Jessica: Well... in that condition, I think I should stop now... or else.

Simba: Or else what? Are you gonna punch us in the face? pfft, please... you weak. *The boys chuckled, Simba and Felix. *

Jessica: I do like to use my fist but I don't think I will... otherwise I don't think they would be happy. *She then points to a group of bullies' moms who stand there with a disappointing look. *

Bullies (All of them): Y... you told our mom?!

Yui: but... I thought you weren't serious...

Jessica: I am serious... especially in this case... maybe this moment should be the time to know that bullying someone for no reason is not fun. *Then a group of bullies' mothers pinch their children's ears and keep asking them such as "How could you do this to someone?!, I raised you better than this, or you're grounded". Suddenly looks up and stops crying on her knees and then notices someone in front of her. * Hey... are you ok? *She gives her a hand. *

Zoe: Yeah... and thank you for getting rid of them.

Jessica: No sweat. And besides it's just the right thing to do. I'm Jessica Keynes, but you can call me Jess for short and what's your name?

Zoe: I'm... Zoe. Zoe Lee.

Jessica: Wow... that sounds like a nice name! And hey ever since I have noticed you from afar I gotta say. I loved your outfit btw and those handbags of yours too! Did you make it yourself?

Zoe: Well yeah... I liked creating arts and crafts sometimes too...

Jessica: Hey... tell you what.. wanna hang out sometimes? you seem like you need a friend.

Zoe: Really? y... you wanna be my friend?

Jessica: Of course! I'm being 100% honest here... and... gimme your shoes. I wanna write something for you.

Zoe: OK...? *She hands her a shoe. *

Jessica: *use a marker to draw I <3 U on Zoe's shoe. * There... Zoe... this is for you to remind yourself that... whenever you need something... you can always tell me anything okay? and you don't need to distance yourself anymore because... I'll always be ready to listen about anything you are going through.

Zoe: Sure. Thanks. *She's about to burst into happy tears. *

Jessica: Hey, hey... don't cry ok? hmmm... you know what how about we go and get some drink together and get to know more about each other there. That sounds great, right?

Zoe: Yeah... sounds great ^_^

Jessica: Well, what are you waiting for let's get going. *Zoe then looks at her runoff first and then looks at what Jess wrote on her shoes and then starts to run after her*

~Flashback over~

Jessica: And that's the story.

Aeon: Wow.

Zoe: Seems like it was just yesterday when we just met. Before I transferred to boarding school/

Jessica: And at least you didn't have to change or be like your sister.

Zoe: Yeah, good thing though. *They sipped the last of their boba tea drinks, then they threw them out, and got back in the limo, Zoe told the driver to take them to the Liberty. *

In Marinette's house, Marinette returned from her walk with the dogs, she unhooked the dogs from their leashes.

Marinette: There you go, guys. *Tibbles and Angel start running around in the house, Marin sees them running around. Then. Bridgette came out of her room. *

Bridgette: The report is done. Are Mom and Dad back?

Marinette: (Washing her hands) They should be. They close in 5 minutes.

Bridgette: Okay.

Marinette: I'm gonna go to the Liberty.

Marin: Why?

Marinette: Since I missed Kitty Section's rehearsal, I decided to go see it this time. Mom and Dad said I can go.

Marin: Okay.

Bridgette: Think we can go too?

Marinette: Sure. *Soon, the door opened and they saw their parents coming inside. *

Tom: Well, we're done for the day.

Sabine: It wasn't much to do.

Tom: I know. Oh, Marinette. I thought you left already.

Marinette: Not yet.

Tom: Okay. The dogs have been walked?

Marinette: Yeah.

Sabine: Good, we'll go ahead and get dinner planned.

Marinette: Okay. I'll be back not too late.

Bridgette: Mind if we go too?

Tom: Sure. But be back not too late.

Marin: Okay.

Bridgette: Okay. Timmy, you wanna go?

Timmy: No.

Bridgette: Really?

Timmy: I can, right?

Marin: (Standing up from the sofa and turning the TV off) It's up to you, buddy.

Timmy: I'll come then.

Sabine: Okay. Be back not too late.

Marinette: Okay. *They all start leaving the house. *

Tom: Let's see what we can make for dinner.

Sabine: What do you think is best?

Tom: Hmm... I could either make penne pasta or the meatloaf.

Sabine: Why not penne pasta?

Tom: Okay, anything else along with it?

Sabine: I could help make some Caprese salad.

Tom: Hmm, an Italian salad. Okay, that sounds good. What else can we add?

Sabine: I'll make some roasted vegetables. I bought some mixed vegetables I can roast.

Tom: Sounds good. Let's get started now. *They start getting the stuff for dinner and get started on it. In the Liberty, Rose, Ivan, Alya, Nino, Alix, Mylene, and Adrien came, and watched Kitty Section and Emo-Nerd get ready for rehearsal. *

Alix: Two rehearsals in two days? That's a first.

Alya: It is.

Mylene: Do you think Marinette will shop up this time since she didn't show up yesterday?

Alya: I'm sure she will. *Then, the door knocked. *

Anarka: I'll get it. *She walked to the front door, opened it, and saw Zoe, Jessica, and Aeon. * Hello, girls. Come on in.

Zoe: Thank you. *They walked inside, the others said hi to them and when Anarka was about to close the door, she saw Marinette, Marin, Bridgette, and Timmy walking across the gangplank. *

Anarka: Aye. I was wondering who's missing. Come on in.

Marinette: Thank you, Anarka. *They walked in, Snowflake rolled over and she ran to Timmy, and he petted her. *

Timmy: Hi, Snowflake.

Marinette: Hi, guys. *They all said hi to them, Luka grinned as he saw her. *

Anarka: Okay, is that everyone?

Luka: Looks like it.

Anarka: Okay, let's go on up to the upper deck. *They all got up and walked up the stairs to where they saw the instruments, both bands went up to them and they started playing. *
