Suddenly, Roger and the Ticket Inspector walked up to them.

Roger: All right, let's go to the station, now!

Ticket Inspector: Yes, identity check, custody, and the whole works?

Luka: Hang on, I know Miss Dupain-Cheng! No one in the world is more upright and honest than she is!

Ladybug: Roger, we won't stop you from doing your duty, but you have to promise me you won't use those handcuffs, and you'll wait for this lady's daughter to come back before you make any decisions. The law is a good thing, but you need humanity to apply it as well.

Roger: Well- I promise, Ladybug.

Ticket Inspector: What do you mean, Roger?

Roger: She's right! *He put his handcuffs back in his pocket, then Ladybug, Cat Noir, Eagle, and Uncanny leaped away and the Ticket Inspector hid behind Roger. *

Ticket Inspector: Uh- say there, you're not gonna get akumatized again, are you? *Sabine groans, Bridgette and Marin scowled at him too. *

Bridgette: You have no respect, you know.

Marinette: Mom! I've been looking for you everywhere! Happy Mother's Day, mom! I'm a bit late, I know! *She laughs nervously. * But I- I just had so much work recently, but someday I'll manage to handle it all just like you. *Then, they hug Sabine. *

Sabine: I know, darling.

Marinette: Here are our tickets! I ran into Ladybug; she explained the problem to me.

Roger: So? *The Ticket Inspector scanned the tickets and the screen turned green. *

Ticket Inspector: They're... they're valid. *Sabine groans. * You weren't lying.

Marin: Told you she wasn't.

Roger: Does this mean we can cancel the fine and the ID check?

Ticket Inspector: Well, that doesn't change the fact that this lady was on the bus without a ticket! The situation is a bit complex. But I guess that- yes it would be reasonable to cancel it all.

Marinette: The truth is- I was out of line too. *She faced Sabine. * I am so- so sorry, mom. This is all my fault.

Sabine: It's okay, sweetie.

Marinette: And to make up for what happened, I'll pay for the fine.

Sabine: Thank you, Marinette. That's very responsible of you to do that. Luka, would you like to join us for lunch?

Luka: Thank you for the invitation but I wouldn't want to impose on a family lunch...

Sabine: That won't be a bother. and I already made a reservation. So, you're more than welcome to come with us. * Marinette smiled. *

Marinette: Please come, Luka! *Luka blushed and smiled. *

Luka: Okay.

Marin: You'll like Dim Sum Delight. We got there once every Saturday.

Luka: Okay. I'll try anything once. * They head back on the bus and go to Dim Sum Delight; they sit down at a table. * So, how does this go?

Bridgette: I think it was you have lots of dishes in the middle on a lazy Susan and you share.

Marinette: So, you can try a lot of different dishes and see what you like. *Soon, one waiter walked to their table. *

Sabine: Like this. *They tried a dish after dish, and they liked them. * How do you like it so far?

Luka: It's great. I barely go to places like this.

Sabine: You do?

Luka: I don't go to restaurants much.

Bridgette: How come?

Luka: Well, when I was growing up, we didn't have much my mom, my sister, and I.

Marinette: Aww.

Luka: And my dad wasn't around much either. As you know. * Marinette put her hand on his knee to comfort him. * So going to restaurants became a treat reserved for our birthday.

Marinette: I didn't know.

Luka: It's okay. You never feel like you're missing out on anything in our family. Because we had each other. And mom made sure we always knew we were loved.

Sabine: I'm glad I made this reservation and decided to invite you, Luka. *Luka grinned at that. *

After lunch, they all head to the shoe store and look at a few shoes, Marinette finds some pink sneakers she tried on, Marin looks through men's shoes and spots a white pair, and Bridgette gets some espadrilles, and she tries them on.

Bridgette: I like these espadrilles. *She walks around, but she falls, and she gets back up. *

Sabine: Bridgette!

Bridgette: I'm okay. I'll get used to them.

Sabine: Okay. *Luka put Marinette's shoes on her feet. *

Marinette: Think these are perfect.

Sabine: Okay. What about you, Marin?

Marin: They're okay.

Sabine: Okay. Since you're all satisfied with your choice of shoes, let's go pay for them. *They head to the register and pay for the shoes. After that, they left the shoe shop and headed home. Marinette's phone buzzed, she got it out and saw it was a message from Nino. *

🐢: Hey, dudette.

🐞: Hey, what's up?

🐢: Hey, since you're babysitting Ella and Etta, think you can babysit Chris too?

🐞: Yeah. I can squeeze one more kid.

🐢: Great. I'll be there with him in 15 minutes.

🐞: Okay. *She puts her phone back in her pocket. *

Luka: Who was that?

Marinette: Nino. He wants me to babysit his brother, Chris.

Luka: Ahh. (Hopefully, she'll come by to see us rehearse afterward.)
