After the battle with Jack Hammer who was Hal akumatized, Ladybug handed him a magical charm, he thanked Ladybug and everyone else, and he headed back to the construction site, getting back to work.

Ladybug, Cat Noir, Eagle, and Uncanny: Pound it! *They leave the area afterward. *

Ladybug: Ugh. So many villains this week. Hopefully, this will all go away soon, and no villains this weekend. *She headed to the Saint-Martin Canal, under the bridge. * Spots off! *She de-transforms and feeds Tikki a macaron, She opens her purse, and Tikki swoops in and closes her purse. *

Marinette: Guess I miss the rest of their rehearsal. Oh well, there's always next time. * She walked back to the Liberty boat, everyone else was inside. *

Alya: Hey, what happened to you?

Nino: You just missed Kitty Section's rehearsal.

Marinette: Sorry, family emergency. They need me at home.

Luka: Why don't I take you home?

Marinette: You don't have to.

Luka: Come on, let me do something. There's still something I have to tell you.

Marinette: Okay? *They leave the Liberty boat together; they walk under the bridge to their favorite spot. * So, what was it you wanna tell me?

Luka: Huh?

Marinette: You said you wanted to tell me something. What was it?

Luka: Oh, yeah. Hah. sorry lost my train of thought for a second.

Juleka VO: You can't draw this situation out forever. You don't have feelings for Jenn, talk to Marinette. Or else you're gonna lose her.

Luka: Still on for stargazing?

Marinette: Yeah.

Luka: Okay.

Marinette: Well, if that's what you want to say, let's go.

Luka: (Ugh, you idiot. Why did you have to ask that stupid question? Just rip the band-aid off and be done with it.) *He holds her hand. * Wait, there's... something else you should know.

Marinette: Okay. What else is there? *Luka sighed and turned away. *

Luka: It's about... my past.

Marinette: What past?

Luka: My past relationship. Her name was Jenn, this is her. *He showed her a picture of him and Jenn together. *

Marinette: Huh. What happened to you two?

Luka: We broke for a while. I never told anyone else about my past besides my mom and Juleka, only they know about this. Juleka suggested I tell you this before you jump to a conclusion or something.

Marinette: You know I never jump to conclusions about something. *Luka grinned at Marinette. *

Luka: (This is why I love you so much.) We dated for 3 years, but something unexpected happened. It hurt me because... *He breathes in and out. * You see...




{Flashback moment}

Luka VO: I met Jenn back in 6th grade. Turns out she was studying to be a musician; she plays the fiddle. I got to know her, she got to know me, exchanged numbers, been hanging out recently, and I asked her to be my girlfriend. My life was perfect at first... but it took a turn of events. I got her a necklace for her birthday, it was a turquoise heart-shaped necklace. Turquoise was her favorite color. I went to her house to surprise her, but in her bedroom, I saw her and my friend Derek kissing on her bed, they didn't even know I was standing at her doorway, I was in both shock and hurt over what I saw. Jenn said that she was only dating me just to get close to Derek because he's more "hot and attractive" than I am. I asked them how long it's been going on and they said 6 months. She didn't dare to break up with me in person, but I didn't expect her to cheat on me with my best friend. I was mad at them both, I left without saying a word. I cut off contact and blocked their social media accounts too. But when time flies, Derek tries talking to me, but I pretend he doesn't exist. My friendship with him died the moment he and Jenn kissed, Jenn did the same thing to me, I cut ties with them. It wasn't long before Jenn's family moved out of Paris and flew to Florida. Of course, I didn't say goodbye to her, then Derek moved away too, and too, I didn't say goodbye.

{Flashback moment}

Luka: So, you see... My ex-girlfriend cheated on me with my ex-friend for a while. It's still bothersome when talking about it. Now you know about my past and I don't want to relive that moment. Now... she's coming here for a visit on her birthday. I don't even know why she would come here instead of somewhere else. *Marinette gently put her hand on his cheek and slowly stroked it. *

Marinette: Sorry you had to go through what they put you through.

Luka: It's okay. That was just a bad memory I'm trying not to bring up or think about anymore.

Marinette: But talking about it helps, right?

Luka: Yeah. Thanks for being understanding and not too quick to judge me.

Marinette: You know I'm not to judge you, Luka. I love you and thank you for telling me about this. If I had a memory of my ex, I would tell you right away. You taught me to tell you anything. *Luka sniffled and chuckled. *

Luka: Yeah. *He wipes his tears off his face. * I love you. *He pulled her in for a kiss and she kissed him back. *

Marinette: I love you too. *They kiss for a little while before taking Marinette home. On the streets, a fortune teller named Madame Raya was giving out fortunes and predictions to people. *

Madame Raya: You would do a good deed today.

Teenage boy: As always. Thank you. *He tipped her a quarter. Then, the next person walked up. *

Madame Raya: Hello, would you like your fortune to be told?

Shohei: Sure.

Madame Raya: Okay, tarot cards or crystal ball?

Shohei: Crystal ball.

Madame Raya: Okay. What's your name?

Shohei: Shohei.

Madame Raya: Okay. *She moved her hand around the crystal ball. * Yes, I see... I see... an A+ in your future.

Shohei: Wow. You're good. *He puts a 5-euro bill in the tip jar. *

Madame Raya: Thank you. *Then, she keeps going with her business. *








Outside of Marinette's house, Luka stopped his bike.

Luka: Here you go.

Marinette: Thank you. *She takes the helmet off, lends it to Luka, and kisses him on the cheek. She then walked inside her house and Luka pedaled back home. In the living room, Marinette walked in. *

Tom: You're back.

Marinette: Yeah, sorry it took a while.

Tom: It's alright. So, ready to get started on dinner?

Marinette: Yeah.

Tom: Okay, what do you have left in your syllabus? *Marinette pulled the syllabus sheet out of her purse and handed it to her dad, he looked at it. * Hmm, dinner for family or more.

Marinette: Oh, an entire dinner, that seems intense.

Tom: Intense, but fun, the best part of being a chef is bringing others joy with your food, and I've got the perfect dish. *He removes a sheet from several ingredients. *

Marinette: Italian sausage, pepperoni, green peppers, pizza sauce, mozzarella, mushrooms, black olives, olive oil, tomatoes, pizza dough?

Tom: Yep. I like to present to you: a pizza casserole. It was the first dish I ever made, and now, I'm passing it down to you.

Marinette: You think I can pull it off?

Tom: Of course. And besides, who better to test your chops on than your own loving, supportive family? Let's get started.

Marinette: Okay. *They get started on the pizza casserole dish together. On the streets, Chloe was walking when she heard a crowd of people talking at a small table. She looked over and saw what was going on. *

Chloe: Excuse me. Move it. Out of my way, old man! *She pushed a few people out of the way and looked ahead at Madame Raya. * What is this?

Madame Raya: Oh, hello. This is my fortune teller business.

Chloe: Fortune teller?

Midori: This is Madame Raya, she's the best at the fortune teller business.

Chloe: The best, huh? Let me see how good she is. Alright, Madame Raya, if that's even your real name. What's my prediction? *She holds out a 100-euro bill and places it on the table, everyone gasped. *

Madame Raya: Okay. What's your name?

Chloe: Chloe Bourgeois.

Madame Raya: Would you like tarot cards or a crystal ball fortune?

Chloe: Tarot cards.

Madame Raya: Okay. *She gets her tarot cards and starts shuffling them, she pulls out a card with a heart on it. * Miss Chloe. Your prediction is... you will fall in love.

Chloe: That's a lie. Gimme something else!

Madame Raya: Of course. Um... I predict... *She draws out a different tarot card. * You'll be rewarded double.

Chloe: I get rewarded more than that. Just ask my father. Give me something much better!

Madame Raya: Of course. *She drew another card and showed it to Chloe. * You'll take a long trip.

Chloe: What? These tarot cards and predictions are stupid. You only tell people what they want to hear and charge for it! You can't tell the future! You're ridiculous, utterly ridiculous! Besides, if you can tell the future, how come you're not rich?

Madame Raya: I don't understand...

Chloe: Figures. *She rolls her eyes. * I mean if you can tell the future, you could know the winning lottery numbers before they're released and cash in! I demand you prove that your powers are really real and give me next Saturday's lottery numbers!

Madame Raya: But...I'm not gifted in that way...

Chloe: I knew it. Nothing but a con artist then, charging for a service you obviously cannot provide. You're nothing but a fraud. *She swiped the cards off the table, everyone gasped as the cards were flown off the table. *

Madame Raya: My cards!

Chloe: See, people? This proves that this woman is a good-for-nothing con artist and shouldn't be doing business of any kind ever again.

Madame Raya: No, no. I'm not like that. I'm not a con artist. *People don't know if it's true or not, some walk away. *

Chloe: Good luck proving otherwise. But here... *She threw a quarter out at Madame Raya. * You should use that to buy a wet wipe in the ladies' room. Your makeup is too thick. *She chuckled and walked away, leaving Madame Raya sad and angry, she slowly bawled her fists. In Shadow Moth's Lair, the windows start to open, and butterflies start to flutter. *

Shadow Moth: Aww, imagine being told you're not good at the job you love doing. Well, let's see if we can use that anger to our advantage. *He opened his hand and created a Megakuma with his powers, then let it go. * Fly away my Megakuma and akumatise her! *The Megakuma flew out of the Lair, into the city, then landed in her crystal ball. * Misfortune I am Shadow Moth. This girl doesn't believe in your service to humanity? I can give you powers to help change her mind and win your respect back! All I ask in return are Ladybug and Cat Noir's miraculous! Do we have a deal Misfortune?

Misfortune: Yes, Shadow Moth! I predict Chloe Bourgeois will pay! *Dark foam covered her whole body. On her walk, Chloe looks through her phone and a dark shadow covering her from above. *

Chloe: What the... *She looked up and saw Misfortune. *

Misfortune: Still think I'm a con artist, a fraud even?

Chloe: Stay away from me. Whatever fortune you have, it's never real!

Misfortune: We'll see about that. *She pulled her crystal ball and it glowed. * I predict... a herd of Elephants is heading your way. *She raises her crystal ball and a wave of its magic spreads, Chloe looks around and nothing happened. *

Chloe: Ha! Even as a supervillain, you're still a hoax. No one would ever believe it... *Then, she felt a slight rumble. * What is going on? *Misfortune chuckled. *

Misfortune: Enjoy your little friends. *She flies away, and Chloe sees a herd of Elephants trumpeting and stomping their way toward Chloe. Chloe screams and runs away from the herd of elephants, people start screaming and running away too. Misfortune laughed evilly and she started spreading more fortunes and predictions all over the city. *










In Jessica and Aeon's apartment, Jessica and Aeon got done with dinner and were about to enjoy the rest of their day outside on the balcony.

Jessica: Glad we had some fun.

Aeon: Yes, we did. *Soon, they heard a loud trumpeting sound of an Elephant. *

Jessica: What was that?

Aeon: Sounds like an Elephant.

Jessica: An Elephant? In Paris? *They heard loud trumpeting, they saw where it was coming from, they saw a herd of Elephants and someone crying for help. *Looks like trouble.

Aeon: Let's go.

Jessica: Liiri, wings of Liberty! *She transforms into Eagle. Aeon pressed on her bracelet, she transformed into Uncanny Valley, and they both flew out of
