After dealing with Simpleman, the photographer and cameramen getting ready to shoot the commercial for the Agreste Brand advertisement, Adrien sighed.

Plagg: Cheese for your thought, Adrien?

Adrien: Just about the vision I had earlier.

Plagg: Oh, you mean you confessing your love to Marinette and trying to kiss her?

Adrien: Yeah.

Plagg: Like I said, try to think of something besides her. You don't want to develop feelings for her when you know she's in a relationship with that blue-haired guy.

Adrien: Yeah, Luka. (Wish I found out sooner before him, then things would've been better between us.)

Vincent: Adrien, are you ready?

Adrien: Yeah. (Sometimes trying to be simple is just too complicated at times.) *He opens his jacket and Plagg goes back inside, and he goes back to the edge of the Eiffel Tower for the shoot. *

Vincent: Action! *They start the shoot with him flying around. Outside Rolland Dupain's house, Marinette stopped at the front gate, opened it, and went to the front door. *

Marinette: Hopefully Grandpa's doing okay. You know how kids can be whenever they're away from their babysitter for some time. Especially when dealing with Simpleman. *She opened the door and she saw her grandpa and the kids watching the Ladybug and CAat Noir movie on the couch. *

Rolland: Go back way too early, sweetie? We haven't finished the movie yet!

Ella: Quiet! It's the best part!

Marinette: Superheroes love all that complicated stuff. Wouldn't you rather just watch a soccer game?

Rolland: Plus not! It's quite simple. Come sit with us, we'll explain everything. So, look. This little guy in black is not a bad fellow. I think you know in red, well it's simple. Even when things are complicated, she never gives up! She reminds me of your grandmother when I first met her. I know it seems crazy, but she looks exactly like her! And all our ideas are kind of the same!

The kids: Shhh! *They all chuckled and watched the movie. *






After the movie is over, Marinette closes her laptop and holds Manon's hand.

Marinette: Thanks again, grandpa.

Grandpa Rolland: Of course, sweetie. If you're busy with something, you can always bring them here and I'll watch them for you.

Marinette: I'll keep that in mind, thank you. *Soon, her phone buzzed. * Hold on, Manon. *She lets go of Manon's hand, she gets her phone out and it's a message from Alya. *

🦊: Hey, the movie's over. Nino and I are going to get the twins and Chris.

🐞: Okay. *She put her phone back in her purse. *

Marinette: Let's go, guys. *They said bye to Grandpa Rolland, he waved back, and they all left his house and headed back to her house before Alya, Nino, and Nadja came back. In the bakery, Sabine served a customer a box of fresh chocolate chip cookies. *

Sabine: Here you go, ma'am.

Female customer: Thank you. *She takes the box and leaves the bakery. Then, the next customer walked up to the counter. *

Sabine: Hello, sir. How can I help you?

Male customer: I would like your finest cheesecake, please.

Sabine: Okay, will that be a sliced cheesecake or a whole cheesecake, and what flavor cheesecake would you like?

Male customer: A sliced cheesecake, and chocolate, please?

Sabine: Okay. *She puts in the total. * Your total is 2 euros. *He gets out his wallet, and hands Sabine 2 euros, she puts the money in the register, and closes it up. * Honey, do you mind getting a slice of chocolate cheesecake?

Bridgette: Sure. *She gets a small box, goes to the freezer, cuts a piece of chocolate cheesecake, places it in the box, and closes it up. * Here you go.

Sabine: Thank you, honey. *She put a seal on the box and handed the box to the customer. * Here you go, sir.

Male customer: Thank you. *He takes the box and leaves the bakery, then the next customer walks up to the counter with his three kids: Kendall, Stanley, and Valerie. *

Sabine: Hi, Alex.

Alex: Hello, Sabine. How are things?

Sabine: Things are good. What can I get you and your kids?

Alex: I would like a whole lemon meringue pie. And what do you want, guys?

Kendall: Pink iced donut with sprinkles.

Stanley: Chocolate cupcake.

Valerie: And a fudge brownie with nuts, please? *Sabine put in the total. *

Sabine: Your total is 11 euros.

Alex: Okay, 11 euros. *He gets his wallet out from his pocket, pulls out his debit, and hands it to Sabine, she scans it, and hands it back to Alex. Bridgette gets a box; she gets a pink iced sprinkled donut, then a chocolate cupcake, and a fudge brownie with nuts, she closes the box as Sabine gets a whole lemon meringue pie and she closes it up too. *

Sabine: Thank you, honey.

Bridgette: You're welcome, mom.

Sabine: Here you go.

Alex: Thank you, Sabine. Let's go, guys. *He holds the boxes and he and his kids walk out of the bakery too. *

Marinette: Hi Mom.

Sabine: Hi, sweetie.

Manon: I wanna play with the superhero dolls!

Marinette:(uh-oh hope they don't find the poor Kwamis again.)

Tom: Marinette, I got something for you. *He holds out 2 small boxes of macarons. * Here you go.

Marinette: Thanks, dad. *The kids jumped up and down over her. * Okay, okay, you'll get one when we're in my room.

Kids: YAY!!! *They followed her to her room. When the trap door starts to open, the Kwamis start to hide from them. *

Ella: Yeah, we can act out the movie!

Etta: Yeah!

Chris: I called being Cat Noir!

Timmy: I'll be the akumatised villain!

Marinette: Okay, let's go. *She put the boxes on the table and Marinette got out the dolls and they started playing with them. Then a few minutes later, the trap door knocked. Marinette opened the door, and it was Alya and Nino. *

Alya: Hey.

Nino: Sup! *Ella and Etta hugged Alya and Chris hugged Nino. *

Alya: Hope they weren't too much trouble.

Marinette: Nothing I couldn't handle.

Ella: We had fun.

Alya: That's good. Let's go, you monkeys.

Ella: Can we get a macaron first?

Marinette: It's okay. *She grabbed the first box and opened it. * There you go, guys. *Ella takes a red macaron, Etta takes a pink macaron, and Alya takes an orange macaron. *

Alya: Thanks. *She eats one and they leave first. *

Marinette: Here you go, Chris, Nino. *Nino grabbed a green macaron and Chris grabbed a yellow macaron. *

Nino: Thanks, dudette.

Chris: Thank you. *They leave too. Marinette and Manon play a little bit until Nadja comes back to get her. *







Next, the trap door knocked again.

Marinette: That must be your mom, Manon.

Manon: Mommy! *Marinette opened the door and Nadja walked in. * Mommy! *She hugged her. *

Nadja: Hey, sweetie. *She picked her up. * Thanks for looking after Manon. *She paid her 30 Euros. *

Marinette: No trouble at all.

Manon: Can I have a macaron?

Nadja: I don't know.

Marinette: It's fine, Nadja. *She holds a box in front of Manon, she grabs a purple one. *

Manon: Thank you.

Marinette: You're welcome. Would you like one too, Nadja?

Nadja: Of course. *She takes a blue one and eats it. * Thank you, Marinette.

Marinette: You're welcome.

Manon: Bye, Marinette.

Marinette: Bye, Manon. *They both leave her room. * Okay, they're gone now. *All the Kwamis came out. *

Mullo: Thank goodness for that.

Fluff: Do my ears look longer?

Kloww: No, you look fine.

Marinette: Aw, sorry guys. I should've hidden the sewing box when they came over. Just didn't know they would get it.

Lonng: Next time we hide in Marin's room.

Trixx: I'll second that. * Marinette chuckled. *

Marinette: I got something for you guys. For being good and dealing with the kids. *She opened a small box of individual color macarons. * Who wants a macaron?

Kwamis: Oooooh. *They zoomed and grabbed a macaron and shared it with another. *

Marinette: You guys stay tight. I'm gonna help in the bakery for a little bit. *She leaves her room goes back down to the bakery and helps out until closing. *

Sabine: Ahh, you're back. So they all went home?

Marinette: Yeah.

Bridgette: Good. We're gonna need all the help for this.

Marinette: Okay. *Tom stepped out of the bakery and saw people in line at the counter and he stepped back inside the kitchen. *

Tom: Okay, we got about... my guess 10 people left in the bakery. We can get through it, right?

Marin: We'll handle it like we always do. *Tom grinned and they got started on baking and helping restock. Sabine tapped on the cash register put the money in and handed the customer her change. Marinette handed Bridgette an empty box and started loading up too. Marinette held two boxes and placed them on the counter. 1 has 1 dozen croissants and 4 eclairs. *




Marinette: Here you go. *She handed one customer his sweet potato pie, and he showed it to his wife. *

Female customer (Wife): I love sweet potato pie. Reminds me of my mom.

Marinette: Aww.

Tom: Okay, I got a few things done. Here, can you take this tray of cookies out there?

Marin: Got it. *He took a tray of cookies and handed the tray to Bridgette. *

Tom: Here you go, Timmy. Give these donuts to your sister.

Timmy: Okay. *He takes a tray of freshly baked donuts out for Bridgette. *

Sabine: So, that's the 2 variety packs of cupcakes and muffins, right?

Male customer: Yes, please?

Sabine: Okay, coming right up. *She put in the total for him. * 8 euros, please? *He reached into his pocket for his wallet, then handed Sabine his money. Marinette opened the door to the kitchen. *

Marinette: We need more Danishes, we're out.

Marin: Fresh Danishes coming through. *He walked by her with a tray of fresh Danishes. The oven went ding and Tom put on oven mitts and got a pan of vanilla and chocolate cupcakes out and placed them on the table, he then put some cookies and muffins in the oven and let them bake too, Marin measured out the milk and stir in the batter, Timmy frosted the mini vanilla cake with white frosting and decorated it with red flowers. At the counter, Bridgette put a vanilla cupcake in a small box closed it up, and handed it to Marinette, she then put 2 bags of baguettes in separate bags and placed them on the counter. *

Sabine: Okay, here's your fresh banana bread.

Male customer: Thank you. *He takes the box and smells the fresh banana bread. *

Sabine: Your 4 dozen cupcakes: 2 dozen vanilla and 2 dozen chocolate like you requested for a birthday.

Female customer: Yes, thank you. My sons will love them. *She and her husband take the cupcakes and leave the bakery. *

Sabine: And here's your blueberry pie.
