In the Tom & Sabine Boulangerie Patisserie, Tom brings another fresh galette from the oven. Rolland helps him cook two more, putting the raw galettes on the pan as Tom brings the tray back into the oven. Sabine organizes the galettes and puts them in boxes. The door opened and they walked in.

Marinette: Morning.

Rolland: Kids! Good to see you! Your dad and I have been baking up a storm!

Tom: Did you all sleep well after yesterday?

Bridgette: Yeah, we did.

Marinette: Can I please have a tiny piece of galette?

Tom: The kids have always loved galettes! *He grabs a bread knife to slice the galette before Rolland snatches it away from him. *

Rolland: That's not how it's done! The tradition is that first, we sell all the galettes we made, *He hands over the tray of the galette to Sabine. * And then we get to enjoy the very last galette together as a family! Until then, *then he slides the galette into a box. *  All the galettes are for the customers. *Tikki, inside Marinette's purse, inhales the sweet smell of the galette. Marinette and Tom share a hearty chuckle as Tom hands her a tray of croissants. *

Marinette: (grabs a piece of croissant) Thanks, Dad! *She walks to the stairs, closing the door behind her. *

Tikki: Where's the galette thing that's giving off that enchanting smell?

Marinette: We have to wait until tonight for the galette, Tikki. But you can have some of this croissant while you wait! *Tikki hesitantly flies in front of Marinette, blocking and surprising her. * 

Tikki: I can't wait that long, Marinette! The smell is so extraordinary! Do I have to taste whatever it is, please, please, please?

Marinette: (chuckles) Alright. I'll go try and get you a piece. I do want to try Dad and Grandpa's new galette! Hide, Tikki! *Tikki zooms into her purse as the both of them head back downstairs. In the kitchen, Rolland rubbed Timmy's head and they heard the door open and saw Marinette coming back into the bakery. * Hey, um... I was just thinking, maybe we could help you by handing out little samples of the galette to the customers standing in the line outside! It'll help them stay patient!

Rolland: Great idea! *Marinette, Marin, Bridgette, and Timmy each grab a tray of sliced galettes on the table, Marinette shoves a few pieces inside her purse for Tikki to munch on. * It's nice to see that young people still have a sense of service.

Marin: Okay, let's go. *Outside, they start distributing the pieces to the customers lined in front of their bakery. *

Marinette: Nino! Chris! Happy King's Galette Day! *The Lahiffe brothers grab one piece each from the tray. *

Bridgette: A quartet of queens for the King's Galette! *Then, Alya, Nora, Ella, and Etta grab pieces of galette from Marinette as well. * Enjoy, girls! *The others went on with other customers to let them have a taste of the galette made by her family as all of them were put in a trance savoring the delicious little slices of the galette. Marinette lends Luka a piece, he tries it and kisses Marinette on the lips. Then, when the line was moving, people started getting their galettes, and Luka walked in. *

Luka: Hello.

Tom: Luka, you came for a galette?

Luka: Yes.

Rolland: Good thing you came early. We always sell out. And while you're here. Why don't you enjoy the galette with us?

Luka: I don't know, sir.

Rolland: Nonsense. You're my granddaughter's boyfriend, which means you're practically family. Of course, you'll join us.

Luka: Well... Can I take this galette to my family first? I don't want to forget to bring one

Rolland: Of course, of course. Then you come back, and we all have our galette together, eh?

Luka: Okay.

Sabine: Here you go. *She hands Luka the box where the galette is inside. *

Luka: Thank you. How much do I owe you?

Rolland: No charge.

Luka: Oh, okay. Thank you. *He leaves the bakery and heads home with the galette. Meanwhile, after they handed out samples of the galettes, Marinette came back with the slices of galette for the other Kwamis. *

Bridgette: Glad that's over.

Marin: Yeah. Good thing you thought about the free sample thing.

Marinette: Yeah. Here you go! I brought you all some of that delicious ga— *She gasps as she finds a lethargic Tikki who finished all the slices of galette she shoved inside her purse. * Uhh... I... must've... dropped the pieces! Sorry! *She scratches the back of her head. But the Kwamis are not convinced enough as they collectively gasp in fear. *

Sass: That's not what happened!

Daizzi: Tikki ate them all up!

Tikki: (furious) Me? You're accusing me?? *The Kwamis huddle together, terrified. *

The rest of the Kwamis: Oh, that's right!

Marinette: (titters) You guys are joking! Tikki would never do such a thing!

Sass: Marinette, you know how much Tikki loves to eat, but do you understand the Kwami of Creation's appetite for food?

Stompp: It's a gourmet craving of cosmic dimensions!

Sass: The pastry your father and his father created together is exceptional. I'm afraid it impacts Tikki will—

Marinette: You're exaggerating, Sass. It's just a galette.

Sass: I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but I think you don't know Tikki as well as you think you do. *Tikki glares at the Kwamis angrily. *

Marinette: What?! Of course, I know her! I can say that I know her better than anyone!

Tikki: Don't listen to them, Marinette! He's not worth getting upset about when it's so much easier just to go back and get some galette for everybody! *The Kwamis gasp in fear and huddle again. *

Marinette: You're right, Tikki! So, everyone just stays here like good Kwamis and Tikki and I will be back soon with some galette for everyone! Okay? *The Kwamis, still huddled together, nod together in agreement. Hearing the trapdoor closing, they disperse inside the room in a panic. *

Ziggy: We're never gonna get to taste that sublime galette!

Barkk: And we'll be lucky if that's the only consequence of the Great Sweet Tooth's appetite!

Sass: Marin, Bridgette, this is serious. The guardian doesn't understand Tikki the way she thinks she does. She's only known her for a very short time, and we've known her for centuries. Her sweet tooth is very uncontrollable. She once made it rain chocolate mousse for weeks.

Marin: That must've been bad.

Timmy: Sounds delicious.

Bridgette: Don't worry. We'll make sure she won't get near the galette. *They leave the room when the Kwamis stay behind. *

Slippi: Did that happen?

Sass: Yes.

Ziggy: It was devastating.

Slippi: Whoa.

Wayzz: Think some of us better go down and help out.

Sass: Barkk, Wayzz, since this is an emergency, I'm permitting you to go out. *Barkk and Wayzz nod to each other and fly outside. *







In the bakery, Marinette goes to the bakery downstairs with Tikki to grab some galette.

Tikki: I'm sorry. The distribution took so long and the galette samples smelled so good. (whimpers)

Marinette: Don't worry, there'll be enough for everybody! There's no need to react as they did. *She opens the door to the bakery. *

André: (tugging a galette box from Rolland) I promise to erect a statue in your honor in front of City Hall in exchange for your last galette!

Rolland: That's not how it's done! The Dupain-Chengs eat the last galette *He grabs a baguette and hits André with it continuously. * Together as a family! *He snatches the box of galette and pushes André out of the bakery. * Get out of here! Away, you felon! *Then closes the bakery door. * Ahh, so, shall we enjoy this last galette? *A cheerful sound of a motor horn was heard just outside the bakery. The motorcycle parks in front of the bakery with Gina on board. She then takes off her helmet. *

Chloé: (background) Ridiculous! Utterly ridiculous! Are you kidding me??

Rolland: (panics, brings down the box of galette and fixes his hair) Gina?

Tom: Mom? *Rolland, Tom, and Sabine open the door. Marinette goes to join them as well before Tikki stops her. *

Tikki: Um, Marinette, what are you going to do with that... that galette? *She points at the galette on the shelf. *

Marinette: Don't worry, Tikki. I'll put aside a piece for you and the others. *She runs towards the bakery exit. *

Tom: Nice bike, mom.

Gina: Thank you, son, it's a belated birthday surprise for Marin!

Tom: What? Mom!

Gina: But that's not all! I got all my little bambinos a present because I missed all their birthdays! Bridgette, I got you a coupon for a body piercing!

Bridgette: Can I get my tongue pierced, Mom?

Sabine: No, Bridgette!

Gina: For Marinette, I got a hair and makeup coupon for you!

Tom: Mom, Marinette is beautiful the way she is, she doesn't need to do makeup!

Gina: Nonsense, it will make her feel like a princess!

Marinette: Can I say something?

Gina: And for Timmy, I got him an abseiling adventure coupon!

Timmy: Cool!

Sabine: Gina, he's only 6! This coupon says 12 years and older!

Timmy: Aww...

Gina: Huh. For some reason, I thought he was older than that.

Tom: Mom, these gifts aren't good and safe for our children. Marin doesn't even have a license to drive a motorbike, Bridgette is not old enough to get any kind of piercing, Marinette doesn't need to get her hair done or have any makeup on, and no way my youngest son will ever do anything dangerous or life-threatening.

Gina: Nonsense, Tom. *Then, Luka walked back from home, and he kissed Marinette on her hair. * And you. Wow, handsome.

Luka: Yeah. And smart and determined too.

Gina: And modest. He's the whole package. I'm Gina, the kids' grandma.

Luka: Nice to meet you. I'm Luka, your granddaughter Marinette's boyfriend.

Rolland: Gina, why do you do this? That's not how it's done!

Gina: What do you mean? Can I not give out nice presents to my grandchildren? You're just jealous you didn't think of it first, ha! *Bridgette turned to the bakery, and she saw Tikki going near the galette, she tapped on Marinette's shoulder. *

Bridgette: Marinette, look. *Marinette turned around and she saw Tikki getting close to the galette. She gasped and covered her mouth. *

Gina: Nothing is too good for my little bambinos. *She kissed Timmy on the head, and he grinned at his Nonna. *

Marinette: (runs inside the bakery and snatches the box of galette from Tikki) Tikki! What are you doing?

Tikki: I was just trying to... g-get a... sniff of this fabulous galette! Ah! *She zooms into Marinette's purse Marinette's family enters the bakery, which sends Marinette to fumble over the box of galette she was holding. *

Marinette: Ahh! Oh, there you are! *She then manages to catch the box, nervous. * I was... just about to bring this galette to the living room! So, we can eat it... as a family! Right? *Gina, Rolland, Tom, and Sabine stare blankly at her. *

Marin: (Good save.) *In the living room, Gina, Rolland, Tom, and Sabine sit together on the sofa. While Gina is speaking, Marinette distributes plates to the four of them, putting the plates on the coffee table. *

Rolland: Gina, why do you do this? That's not how it's done!

Gina: What do you mean? Can I not give nice presents to my grandchildren? You're just jealous you didn't think of it first, ha!

Rolland: No, that's not it! You need to ask their parents what is suitable for them rather than buy all this stuff for them without thinking! You're so irresponsible!

Marin: Can we say something?

Gina: Who died and appointed your safety police? Times have changed, Mr. I don't like anything modern. Kids should be allowed to take risks; it's how they learn!

Sabine: But also, very unsafe!

Wayzz: Psst! *Luka looked over and pointed at Wayzz, Marinette gasped, seeing Barkk and Wayzz hiding behind a lamp to let her know that Tikki was flying towards the galette on the dining table. Tikki was about to take a bite before Marinette slid onto the table and the galette slipped from her hands, unable to grab Tikki as well. The galette lands on her hands safely with her family finally noticing her strange behavior. *

Sabine: What exactly are you doing, Marinette?

Marinette: Nothing! Don't you think it's time we ate Dad and Grandpa's delicious galette? *She sees a hungry Tikki by the corner of the ceiling, about to dive into the plate of galette she is holding * Okay, everybody! Here you go! *She places the
