In the Liberty, Juleka came home from the park, Snowflake panted, and went up to Juleka's leg. Juleka rubbed her head when the blender started blending, then she turned it off.
Anarka: Juleka, I made some banana, strawberry, and kiwi smoothies. I gave Luka one earlier. Would you like one?
Juleka: Sure. *Anarka poured some smoothies into a cup and handed it to her. *
Anarka: Here you go.
Juleka: Thank you. *She drinks some smoothies and gets started on her homework. *
Anarka: Got homework?
Juleka: Yeah, just 2.
Anarka: Okay, I'll let you get to work. *She walked away as Juleka got started on her work. In Marinette's room, Marinette finished her essay writing and now doing her worksheet from science class about the Respiratory System. *
Marinette: Okay. This should be easy, just have to fill in the blanks and the chart too. Shouldn't be too long and I have a math test to study for tomorrow. *She kept working until she felt a slight breeze in her room. * Is my window open? *She goes to her window and sees it's still closed. * No, it's closed. Wonder what it was. *She heads back to her seat and gets back to work when she hears a thud. The Kwamis exclaimed, Marinette got up and looked around. *She looked around and still saw nothing. * Guys, hide for a second. *The Kwamis hid in plain sight and she looked around again. * Weird again. *She sighed and got back to work. *
Cat Blanc: M'lady...
Marinette: Huh?
Cat Blanc: M'lady, there you are. *Marinette looked at the balcony window and saw Cat Blanc. *
Marinette: Cat Blanc?
Cat Blanc: That's right, M'lady.
Marinette: What are you doing here?
Cat Blanc: Winning my true love. I'm sorry I've been so oblivious that it took me so long to realize you're the one I love.
Marinette: This is wrong.
Cat Blanc: I think you mean right. Now ditch the blue-haired wannabe rockstar and come with me. *He reached his hand out towards her. *
Marinette: I can't do that.
Cat Blanc: Come on. We're meant to be together. Everyone knows that. *He gets close to her and forces to kiss her, and then she snaps out of it. *
Marinette: Weird. Probably just overthinking it. *She looked at her phone and thought about it. * (Should I tell Luka? I don't know.) *She reached for her phone, went through her contacts, and stopped at Luka's phone number. * I hope he understands. *She called him as she worked on her science homework. In the Liberty, Luka was playing his guitar when his phone rang. He stopped playing and picked it up, he saw Marinette. He answered it. *
Luka: Hey. I saw what happened.
Marinette: (On the phone): Where did you watch what happened?
Luka: (Through the phone): When I was coming home from school. Good thing I didn't live too far.
Marinette: That's good. (Time to tell him.) Hey, listen. There's... something I have to tell you. *She puts the word in the blank space. *
Luka: What's up?
Marinette: I've been... having a vision. I feel I should've told you this for a while. *She then moved onto the diagram and filled in the blank spaces. *
Luka: This sounds serious. You know you can tell me anything. We talked about this. *Marinette sighed. *
Marinette: Think we can talk about it somewhere else? *She tapped on her eraser on the table. *
Luka: Sure. Come to the bridge.
Marinette: Okay. See you soon. *She hangs up her phone, puts in the finishing diagram, and puts it in her notebook. * Okay, got my French Literature and science homework, I'll study when I get back. *She got up from her seat and walked downstairs to the living room. *
Sabine: Done with your homework, sweetie?
Marinette: Yeah. (I'll have to study when I get back.) Mind if I visit Luka for a little bit?
Tom: Sure honey. Be back to help make dessert.
Marinette: Okay. *She leaves the house and heads to the Liberty. * (I need some cheering up from Luka.)
In the Liberty, Luka waits for Marinette to come over so they can talk.
Luka: Mom?
Anarka: Yes, Luka?
Luka: How do you think Sylvia is doing?
Anarka: I'm sure she's doing okay. Your Aunt and Uncle are doing everything they can to help her. I know their last visit was unexpected. I was surprised when I heard it too. I'm surprised I didn't throw your Uncle and Aunt overboard. I only do it when someone pushes my buttons. Like your dad for example, but I learned to control it. They'll just call me and tell me what's been going on, but overall... she's doing okay.
Luka: That's good to know.
Anarka: Yes, it is.
Luka: Marinette is coming over for a little bit. Mind if we talk for a little bit?
Anarka: Sure, son. I'll tell her you're in your room.
Luka: Okay. *Anarka rubbed his head and kissed him on the cheek then walked out of the cabin, Luka strummed his guitar for a little bit. Then, his phone rang, he picked it up and it wasn't Marinette, but an unknown number. * Who is this? *He ended the call and continued playing his guitar. But then, the phone rang again, he picked it up and it was still the same number. * Who is this? *He sighed and answered the call. * Who is this?
Derek: Hey... Luka.
Luka: Who is this?
Derek: It's me, Derek.
Luka: Derek? How did you get my number?
Derek: Jenn. She stalked you on social media when we were dating.
Luka: (Figures.)
Derek: That's when she showed me your phone number.
Luka: Why are you calling me?
Derek: Look, I know an "I'm sorry" is not gonna fix anything. But... when Jenn invited me to come to Paris for her birthday weekend, I thought it would be an "OK" trip, but it wasn't. This was her way of trying to get back together with you. I didn't believe it at first, but after witnessing you and her talking, I figured she used me to get back together with you.
Luka: Kinda got the memo when she told me. Just didn't see you there and witnessed the whole thing.
Derek: I know. I broke up with her by the way. I hope she won't be a bother anymore.
Luka: Let's hope so.
Derek: So... are we good?
Luka: I don't know. Think we can think about this until I'm sure?
Derek: Yeah, I'm cool with that. Anyway, sorry again. I knew she was your girlfriend first and...
Luka: It's okay. And I forgot about our past. I'm with someone else who makes me happy. I'm sure you'll find someone after your breakup with my ex.
Derek: Maybe you're right. *Soon, Luka heard knocking. He looked to the right and saw Marinette at the doorway. *
Luka: Gotta go, bye. *He hangs up the phone and gets up from the bed. * Hey.
Marinette: Hey. Who were you on the phone with?
Luka: Just... an old friend.
Marinette: Okay. So...
Luka: Right. Come on. *They both leave the cabin and head outside on the bridge. *
