At the Le Grand Paris Hotel, in Chloe's room, Lila typed on her laptop and played Chloe the video she caught at lunch earlier. It was Kylie with her lunch tray when out of nowhere, a banana peel came and she slipped on it, which caused her food to fall on the floor and a little bit on the floor, Chloe and Lila started laughing.
Chloe: When did you get this?
Lila: When you did your little rant and not paying attention to what was going on.
Chloe: Hmm. Too mean, eh, Klutyz? Well, the public loves me and we can give them all they can handle. *Lila traced the mouse pad with her finger to the upload button and clicked on it. The video was submitted, and many views started to appear. *
Lila: Now, shall we try something else to show Kylie that adding a Gossip Column is a good idea and not too mean?
Chloe: I'd say yes. But we need to do something else. We'll have a little field day in school tomorrow. It's always full of embarrassing, utterly embarrassing moments and personal lives. I'm sure the public will love this kind of stuff.
Lila: I couldn't agree more. And best, we'll pin the blame on Marinette. *Chloe gasped and slowly turned to Lila. *
Chloe: That's villainous, utterly villainous. We'll do it. Dupain-Cheng will get the hating of a lifetime and we'll laugh at her misery. *She smirked evilly. *Back in the Carrefour Market Grocery Store, the shopping was over, they made their way to checkout. *
Sabine: Okay, start grabbing stuff so they'll bag it up. *One by one, they start unloading the cart on the checkout road and the cashier starts scanning the items and has the bagger bag everything. Once the last item's been scanned, the cashier puts in the total, she said the total is $54.60. Sabine reached into her purse, opened her wallet, she pulled out some coupons that were still good, the cashier scanned them until the price was reduced to 10 euros. *
Cashier (Karen): And your new total is 10 euros.
Sabine: I got it. *She reached for a 10-euro bill and handed it to Karen. *
Karen: (Opens the register places the money inside and closes up the register) Thank you and have a nice day.
Sabine: Thank you, we will. *Tom started pushing the cart as they all left the store, headed to the parking lot, and headed to their car. Tom used the trunk keys and opened the trunk door; they started loading up the van with groceries. Then, once the groceries are in the van, Marin and Tom close the trunk door and they all go inside the van, and Sabine starts driving them there. *
Bridgette: Think we got quite a lot of stuff.
Tom: Yes, we did.
Sabine: No need to go over the limit. But glad we got some coupons.
Marin: Yeah, thank goodness for that.
Tom: So, have we decided what we'll have for dinner?
Sabine: Not yet. Did you get what meat we'll be cooking?
Tom: Yes. Nothing is too authentic or fancy. 10.
Sabine: Okay.
At the College Francoise DuPont courtyard, Adrien and Kagami fenced together and Kagami poked him.
Mr. D'argencourt: Point, Tsuguri. *Kagami lifted her helmet and grinned at Adrien, Adrien lifted his helmet and grinned at Kagami. * Okay, think we have enough practice for today. Good job overall, everyone.
Kagami: Hmm...
Mr. D'argencourt: See you all next Monday for more practice. *They all go to the locker room and change out of their fencing uniforms. Adrien looked back at the mysterious female fencer. *
Adrien: Hey, uh... I didn't catch your name.
???: Sorry, wasn't focused. You were pretty good.
Adrien: Oh, uh... thanks. I wasn't much of a fencer, but... my father suggested I sign up for a school team. So, he suggested fencing.
???: Ahh. If you want, I can show you a few moves.
Adrien: Really?
???: Yeah. *She gets up and goes to the left side and Adrien puts his helmet down and holds his saber. Then they both start fencing. *
Adrien: Whoa. Your footwork is impeccable. Are you using the Danpei technique?
???: I thought it appropriate since I don't know your weaknesses. Now I do. *They keep fencing. * And there's something I must tell you.
Adrien: Have you ever faced someone who is equally challenged?
???: Not even close. But there is one thing I am not. *She swatted the fencing saber out of his hand and poked him until he fell back. * Distracted.
Adrien: Touche! You are good. *He got up and stuck his hand out towards her. * Adrien Agreste. *The girl takes off her fencing helmet. *
???: Akari Sasaki. *She sticks his hand out and shakes his hand. * I just moved from Korea. You are the first worthy opponent I have met.
Adrien: Think you can teach me how to parry like that one day.
Akari: Sure. How about the next practice when we're early?
Adrien: Okay. Sounds like a plan. *They both walk to the locker, change out of their fencing uniforms, and head home. Adrien saw his bodyguard's car outside. * Sense anything?
Plagg: Besides cheese, no. It's been quiet lately.
Adrien: Okay.
Plagg: So, a new fencer, which is a girl. Guess you have some competition.
Adrien: There's no competition, Plagg. Akari is just really good, and she said she'll teach me a few of her moves for the next fencing practice.
Plagg: Oh, sure she will. Guess you're starting to like this Akari girl.
Adrien: I do not like her. I don't even fully know her. How can I like someone if I haven't gotten to know someone?
Plagg: No clue, but that's how I started to love my camembert cheese.
Adrien: Looks like you're not much help.
Plagg: Romance gives me a stomachache. *Adrien walked down the steps and got inside the car; his bodyguard drove him back home. Inside the Le Grand Paris Hotel, Jagged, Juleka, and Luka were into their jam session until they stopped playing. *
Jagged: You two still got it. *He rubbed their heads. *
Luka: Learned from the best?
Jagged: Your mom, right?
Luka: Yeah.
Jagged: Okay. How did you like the bass I got you for your birthday?
Juleka: It's great.
Jagged: Glad you liked it. *Luka's phone buzzed, he got it out of his pocket and saw what was on it. It's a message from his mom. *
Luka: It's mom. She said she was out doing errands, but she'd be back a little late.
Juleka: Okay.
Jagged: It's all good. You'll leave when she comes back, right?
Luka: Yeah. What do you think?
Juleka: Guess we can stay a bit longer.
Jagged: Okay. I have to bathe Fang. If you guys got homework from school, you can get started on it.
Luka: Okay.
Juleka: Thanks, dad. *Jagged whistled at Fangs and they go to the bathroom as Luka and Juleka get their school stuff out and get started on their homework. *
Outside of the Bakery, Sabine parked the van in front of the bakery, she turned the engine off, and everyone started getting out. Tom opened the trunk, and everyone started grabbing a bag and going inside the house, Angel and Tibbles heard the door open and they started running towards them.
Tom: Yes, yes, hi. Hey, excuse us. *They start moving and put the bags down on the counter. Then, they saw Sabine walk inside the house with the last 2 bags. *
Sabine: Okay, here we go. *She put them down on the table and wiped her hands on her shirt. * Okay, let's unload everything.
Tom: In the meantime. *He pulled out a pack of raw chicken and placed it on the sink. * I'll try to get dinner ready.
Sabine: I'll help too. I'll make the Caprese salad.
Tom: Hmm, Caprese.
Bridgette: (Putting a carton of eggs and a carton of milk in the fridge as Marinette holds a bag of other freezer foods) You're gonna make Caprese salad? My favorite. *Marinette put some yogurt, orange juice, cheese, and fresh berries in the fridge. *
Sabine: Yes, I am. May take some time, but we'll see what happens. *Marin puts some bread in the bread box and puts some chips and other snacks in the side pantry and Timy holds a gallon of ice cream, Bridgette takes the ice cream from him and puts it in the freezer. *
Timmy: Thank you.
Bridgette: You're welcome.
Tom: Bridgette, have we got any more of those frozen yeast rolls? *Bridgette looked through the freezer and saw a bag of yeast rolls. *
Bridgette: (Holding the bag out) We do.
Tom: Okay, just wondering. You can put it back in the freezer.
Bridgette: Okay. *She puts the bag back in the freezer Marin helps restock the freezer and Sabine helps put some fruits in the fruit bowl and some vegetables in the drawers and close them up. *
Sabine: Thank you for your help, everyone. If you have homework, get right on it. Dinner will be ready in 1/2 an hour.
Marin: Okay. *He and Marinette walk to their rooms and Bridgette stays in the living room with Timmy watching Friends as Tom and Sabine start getting dinner ready. *
