Outside of the school, Nino saw Adrien's car pull up, he stepped out and went up to Nino.

Nino: Hey, dude.

Adrien: Hey. *They do their handshake and walk up the steps to the building. Then, Jagged's limo pulled up. *

Jagged Stone: There we go.

Juleka: Thanks, dad. *She kissed him on the cheek. *

Jagged Stone: Have a good day. *Juleka grinned and she stepped out of the limo and closed the door, then the limo drove off, and she headed up the steps, Rose saw her come up and hugged her. *

Rose: You rode with your dad?

Juleka: It was only just this once.

Rose: Wow. *They walked inside together. In the courtyard, kids were talking, and going to their lockers, and some headed to class early. *

Alya: And that's what happened.

Alix: Really?

Alya: Yeah.

Marinette: Hey.

Alya: Hey.

Jessica: Alya was just telling us about the time she helped her dad at the Zoo.

Marinette: What happened?

Alya: Just about the time someone was messing with the Panther.

Marinette: It wasn't Kim again, was it?

Alya: Not this time. My dad's keeping a close eye on him. If he messes with the Panther again, he's gonna ban him from coming to the Zoo.

Alix: Guess someone didn't learn his lesson from the last time. *Then, Amelia, Carlie, and Samantha walked out of their cars and walked inside the school, they didn't talk to anyone or look at anyone. They avoided everyone like the plague. *

Mylene: Huh. They didn't see us. Nor say anything.

Marinette: Wonder why.

Alya: Guess after what you said to Amelia, they're putting their petty mean girls' ways a rest.

Marinette: Yeah. *Meanwhile, Adrien looked at Marinette, she slowly turned her head when her hair flowed, flipped her hair, and resumed talking to the girls. He's in a gaze, blushing, and slightly drooling. *

Nino: Dude. Dude, you're drooling!

Adrien: Huh? *He shook his head and snapped out of it. He wiped the corner of her mouth. * What is it?

Nino: Something is definitely up with you. You know you can tell me.

Adrien: It's nothing.

Nino: Come on, dude. Tell me.

Adrien: Okay, I'll tell you. Well, on Friday when Marinette came back, she had her hair down.

Nino: We saw that, what's up?

Adrien: I blushed and froze when I saw her. And now today.

Nino: Yeah, that was weird.

Adrien: It kind of was. I don't know what came over me.

Nino: Considering she had a crush on you for ages and you never even noticed.

Adrien: She did? How come you never said anything?

Nino: Alya swore me to secrecy! But I figure I'm off the hook now because she's dating Luka.

Adrien: Oh, right. Yeah. Also, I haven't been able to sleep.

Nino: Because of Marinette?

Adrien: No, not that,

Nino: What then?

Adrien: Because of your little revelation recently.

Nino: Oh...yeah... So now what?

Adrien: I don't know. When did she have a crush on me?

Nino: Probably since you started school. You could say it was "love at first sight." sort of thing.

Adrien: Wow. (Guess I was blinded by my love for Ladybug. But, I don't have that feeling for her anymore.)

Nino: And to be honest, hers and Luka's chemistry are like this. *He made a heart with his hand. *

Adrien: Yeah. That's true. *They walked to the locker room and Adrien went through his locker and pulled out his French Literature textbook. * I don't know why I'm feeling I'm in love with Marinette. I didn't know until you told me.

Nino: Well, you were being oblivious, and we didn't tell you this. We just want you to find out yourself.

Adrien: Well I know. (I hope I don't think about her too much.) *Meanwhile, the final bell rang for the first class to start. People were walking in and taking their seats while others talked some more. *

Ms. Bustier: Good morning, everyone. Hope you're all having a good Friday so far.

Alya: I know I am. *She side-eyed Marinette, she grinned at that. *

Ms. Bustier: Now, so far, we covered all the poetry topics and did a few poetry shares. Think it's time we get to something else planned. *She writes on the board the Poetry Study Guide. *

Ms. Bustier: We will be getting ready for our poetry test on Monday. Now I know this is the one Monday you all don't like doing any tests and some of you have Weekend plans, but I understand that. But school comes first, and fun comes later.

Chloe: Boring. *She rolled her eyes and checked her eyelashes on her mirror. *

Ms. Bustier: Now, let me just hand you all your study guide. You may get started when I hand it to you. *She handed Sabrina and Chloe their papers, Adrien and Nino their papers, Marinette and Alya's papers, and Mylene and Alix's papers. * You have until the end of class to get it done. *She handed the rest of the papers to the class then she sat back down in her seat and graded some papers from other classes. In the Wi School Paris 9, Ms. Jennings, Timmy's teacher walked into the classroom. *

Ms. Jennings: Okay, students. Settle down. I know it's Friday, but we still have a whole school day to go through. Now, pay attention to what I have planned for us today. *She grabs a chalkboard and writes on the board "Stranger Danger." *

Manon: Stranger Danger?

Ms. Jennings: Anyone want to guess what this is about? *A little girl named Melanie raised her hand. * Yes, Melanie?

Melanie: Is it when you don't have to speak to someone who doesn't buy you a toy?

Ms. Jennings: No, Melanie. Anyone else? *A boy named Jee raised his hand. * Why don't you try, Jee?

Jee: Is it when you don't accept anything from someone you don't know?

Ms. Jennings: Very good, Jee. This is a very important topic and we thought it might be a good idea if we invited a special guest to explain of dangers of talking to strangers. Please welcome Officer Rogers. *Officer Rogers walked into the classroom and faced everyone. *

Officer Roger: Good morning, class. Ms. Jennings is right, you must understand that talking or going with someone you don't know is not a good idea. Allow me to show you some questions on Stranger Dangers. *Ms. Jennings pulled the projector screen down, then turned it on, and turned the lights off, and Officer Roger got to the presentation of Stranger Danger. *

In Gabriel's house, Gabriel sighed as he looked at a picture of Emilie.

Gabriel: One day, Emilie, one day we'll see each other again. *He clears his throat and then goes to Nathalie's room. He opens the door, and he sees Nathalie in bed reading one of the spell books. *

Nathalie: Gabriel?

Gabriel: It's not working well enough.

Nathalie: What is?

Gabriel: The Mega Akuma I created. It's not working like I thought it would.

Nathalie: Perhaps you could try a different approach.

Gabriel: I don't know what else to try, Nathalie. I feel like I'm failing Emilie. And you. I cannot let your suffering be in vain.

Nathalie: Why not target someone who could make things "difficult" for Ladybug and Cat Noir?

Gabriel: Difficult like what?

Nathalie: Remember what Optigami caught. It caught Ladybug and Luka Couffaine. Something tells me he has some sort of connection with Ladybug.

Gabriel: I tried to make him go against her, but that failed. But you might be onto something with this. And everyone has a weakness, including Ladybug. I'll just have to strike while the iron is still hot. *He goes to the door and thinks about what to do. * Time to study my enemies a little bit more. *He leaves the room and Nathalie goes back to reading her book and sighs. In Ms. Bustier's class, the students still working on their study guides for their test tomorrow. Ms. Bustier stands up with graded papers she already graded. *

Ms. Bustier: Okay, we have 15 minutes until class ends, I have graded your past work and previous tests for almost a whole week. Marinette, would you like to pass them back?

Marinette: Sure. *She got up, grabbed the papers, and passed them back to everyone. Chloe side-eyed Marinette and looked at her graded poem. *

Chloe: Just as I thought. Perfect. *She puts her paper down and strokes her hair. *

Sabrina: Thank you.

Alya: Huh. Guess I'm getting better. B+, A+, and B. *She put her paper down and watched Marinette walk back down the steps and place the paper down. *

Ms. Bustier: Thank you, Marinette.

Marinette: You're welcome. *She sits back down next to Alya. *

Ms. Bustier: Now, before you all leave my class, Mr. Damocles has something planned for you all later on in History class.

Alya: Wonder what it is.

Marinette: No clue.

Ms. Bustier: So, remember that, please? *Then, the bell rang. * Class dismissed. Have a good day. *Everyone gathered their stuff and left the classroom, Ms. Bustier wiped the board and prepared her next lesson plan. In the hallways, people were walking around, some had a free period, and some headed off to their next class. *

Alya: Well, glad that's over.

Marinette: Why'd you say that?

Alya: No reason. Now, tell me what's up with you?

Marinette: Nothing occasional.

Alya: Come on, what's up?

Marinette: Nothing. Not yet anyway.

Alya: Ahh, okay. Well, we'll see what happens later on.

Marinette: On second thought, there is something planned. *She closed her locker when she got her science textbook and notebook. * Marin's bowling trip.

Alya: Oh yeah. His birthday passed, right? *They both walked up to Ms. Mendeleiev's class next. *

Marinette: Yeah. He loves bowling and he wants to go bowling tomorrow.

Alya: Ahh. Hey, um, can I ask you a favor?

Marinette: Sure what? *She opens the door and they both go inside. *

Alya: Think you can babysit Ella and Etta tomorrow?

Marinette: What for?

Alya: Nino and I are going to see the new United Heroez movie.

Marinette: Didn't that movie just play?

Alya: That was the sequel. Now they have a trilogy called United Heroes: United We Fall.

Marinette: Ahh. I guess I can squeeze in babysitting. My mom wants me to babysit Manon too.

Alya: Thanks, you're a lifesaver.

Marinette: Don't thank me yet. I want something in return.

Alya: Okay, what is it?

Marinette: Whenever I go out of town, you can dogsit for us, deal?

Alya: Okay, deal. *They both fist bump and stare at the board until the final bell rings for class to start. *
