Inside the art classroom, it's empty and Sabine packs up her croquettes in the bakery bag and leaves. She stepped outside looked around and saw Marinette, Bridgette, and Marin at the bus stop, waiting for her.

Sabine: Oh, good. You're all here.

Marinette: Yeah. Right here, like you said.

Sabine: Good. The bus is here. *The bus stops, and they get on it. * Good day, sir. Would you like some fresh croquettes?

Bus driver: Ooh, croquettes! *He starts eating them one by one. *

Bridgette: You're so generous, mom.

Sabine: Thank you, sweetie.

Marin: I would have gladly eaten any leftovers. *Bridgette smacked him on the back of the head. * Ow! No fair. I love croquettes...

Sabine: Don't worry, honey. I'll have your dad give us some more when we get home from dim-sum.

Marin: Okay. *Then, they start finding a seat on the bus. *

Passenger: Mhm mhm, look. In terms of the process, when it comes to the re-evaluation of online products, the market demands a high yield in terms of productivity see what I mean? Mhm. *Standing in the handicapped area of the bus while a person in a wheelchair is struggling to move. *

Sabine: (Walks over to the passenger) Hello sir. Would you be so kind as to let this person access the spot that's reserved for their use?

Passenger: Hey, I'm on a conference call here. So, what I was saying- Yeah, I mean concomitantly with the situational adaptability, the direct manager should make the negotiable systems converge.

Bridgette: Rude much? *Sabine forms a plan, which shows up on a yellow background with trees, using a traffic light, the rude passenger, a gear on the handicapped person's wheelchair, and a paintbrush. Sabine places the paintbrush on the floor in front of the rude passenger. *

Passenger: No, no, no, we need a strong plan. If we aren't flexible regarding our immobilized relations then we're gonna get cre- *The bus slows and pulls to a stop at a corner, the passenger on the phone trips on the paintbrush Sabine placed on the floor. The person in the wheelchair is moved uncontrollably to the handicapped area *

Sabine: Thank you, sir, your sense of civic responsibility is much appreciated. *The kids look to their surprise then pleased. *

Voice on intercom: Next stop, Louise Michel.

Marinette: Shoot! I forgot the pres- *covers her mouth and looks to her mom. * Uhh, the presentation, it's a magazine. They're presenting a new magazine with Adrien on the cover. Can I borrow your wallet? I have to get it.

Sabine: Are you sure? I don't think you'll have time to get off and back on during the stop.

Marinette: I'll be quick, the stand is right there and there is no line.

Sabine: Okay. Here, take my wallet.

Marinette: Thanks, mom. *She kissed her mom on the cheek, got off the bus, and sprinted to the flower shop. *

Bridgette: Think she'll make it back?

Marin: Hope so. We don't know how long buses can wait.

Sabine: I'm sure your sister can hurry back. Wherever she's off to. * Marin whispered to Bridgette's ear. *

Marin: (whispering): Five euros says she makes it.

Bridgette: You're on, bro! * At the flower shop, Marinette saw the bouquet for her mom. *

Marinette: This one, please! *She points at a flower bouquet with pink roses and white flowers. * Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry. *She pays and the florist hands her the flower bouquet. * Thank you.

Tikki: Um, you're buying a present for your mother with her money?

Marinette: Yeah, yeah, I know but I don't have cash with me, I'll pay her back later... *She looks back and gasps at the bus starting to leave. * Nooo! *She runs after the bus. * Wait! Awww! *She runs and catches her breath. *

Tikki: Aww, you missed the bus.

Marinette: No worries. I'll just call her and tell her what happened. *She gets her phone out and calls her mom. *

Voice on intercom: Next stop, Claire LeCone. *Sabine's phone rang, she picked it up. *

Marinette: (on her phone) Mom, the bus left without me!

Sabine: I know, honey. I'm on it.

Bridgette: Pay up, bro. *Reluctantly Marin slaps 5-euro bill in her hand. * Pleasure doing business with you.

Marinette: What do I do now?

Sabine: We'll get off at the next stop and wait for you. Meet us there!

Voice on intercom: Claire LeCone.

Sabine: Let's go, guys. *She, Bridgette, and Marin were about to get off when they saw the Ticket Inspector. *

Ticket Inspector: Ticket Inspector, please!

Sabine: Hello, sir. My daughter got off earlier with mine, but we're supposed to meet up at this stop. She shouldn't be too long. Why don't we get off and wait for her together?

Ticket Inspector: No one's ever tried that one on me before. Non-payment affairs, that's a 50 euro five how will you be paid? *The bus doors closed and started moving. *

Sabine: Unfortunately, sir, I have no money with me. My daughter has my wallet.

Ticket Inspector: Of course, and I suppose you don't have any ID with you either.

Sabine: Well. I just explained to you that my daughter has my wall...

Ticket Inspector: Right! Well, I guess we'll just see at the next stop. But not with your imaginary daughter, but with a real police officer, who's going to take you in!

Sabine: What? But... That's so unfair!

Ticket Inspector: What's unfair is committing fraud and stealing from Parisians who do pay for their tickets, ma'am!

Bridgette: This can't be good.

Marin: Not one bit. *Soon, Marinette went up to the bus stop, but the bus drove off. *

Marinette: Where are they?
