After talking to Sabrina, Sabrina went home for the day, a vibration inside her purse was felt, Marinette reached into her purse, and pulled out her phone.
Marinette: Hmm, it's Luka. *She opened the message from him and read it. *
🐍: Hey, Melody. Are you free now or are you still training?
🐞: I was done training for a while. I was at the park, Sabrina wanted to talk to me, now I'm free t the moment.
🐍: Okay. Are you at the park still?
🐞: Yeah, I'm about to leave.
Luka: 'Uh-oh. She's about to leave. I have to meet her there. Better tell her to stay there so I can meet her there.'
🐍: Can you stay there? I'm about to go there and meet you.
🐞: Okay.
Marinette: Hmm, wonder why he wants me to stay here and wait for him here.
Tikki: Think he wants to know where you are and meet you there.
Marinette: (looking at her phone) Hmm, you might be right. Plus, it probably not a far trip from his house to here. Better wait for him, I guess. *She puts her phone back in her purse and waits patiently for Luka to come. On the streets, Felix and Bridgette were walking together and they made it to the Jardin des Tuileries. *
Felix: Here we are.
Bridgette: (looking at the scenery) Wow.
Felix: Beautiful, isn't it?
Bridgette: Yeah. I haven't been here before.
Felix: Same. I... always think about taking you here with me someday.
Bridgette: Really?
Felix: Yeah. Sorry if that sounded weird or anything.
Bridgette: No, no. It's not weird at all. It's nice actually.
Felix: I'm glad you think so. *They start walking around and look at the flowers. A cyclist with a basket of flowers rode by and handed Felix a flower. *
Cyclist: For your sweetheart.
Felix: (taking the flower) Thank you. *He hands Bridgette a white carnation. *
Bridgette: Thank you. *She smelled it and they looked around too. *
Felix: (looking over at Bridgette) 'Should I tell her I want to get back together? Not yet, it feels like it's too soon to ask her. Maybe when we go on a proper date. But for now, I want to enjoy this moment with her.'
In the Hibachi Sushi Express, the kitchen window bell went ding.
Sushi chef: Chūmon suru! 'Order up!' *Li Wong nods his head yes, he takes four plates from the window on the serving tray and walks to the orders that were placed by people in the restaurant. *
Li Wong: (holding a ship full of sushi) Okay, here's your ship of sushi variety pack. *He put the ship down on the table, the customers said thank you to Li Wong. * And here's your miso soup, sir.
Male customer: Thank you. *He put the bowl down in front of him and he walked away while they started eating their food. *
Li Wong: (to Adrien and Kagami) Here we go. Your California rolls, sir. *He put the plate of California rolls in front of Adrien. *
Adrien: Thank you.
Li Wong: You're welcome, sir. And here's your Snow Crab sushi. Of course, with a side of ginger and wasabi.
Kagami: (placing the plate in front of her) Arigatō. 'Thank you.'
Li Wong: Dōitashimashite. 'You're welcome.' Enjoy. Would you like some more royal milk tea?
Adrien: I do.
Kagami: Me too.
Li Wong: Coming right up. *He takes their cups and walked away from their table as Adrien and Kagami enjoy their sushi. Outside of Cafe de Flore, Zoé, Jessica, and Aeon were talking over lunch. *
Jessica: (holding a cup of water) So, thinking about what to say about Owen?
Zoé: I don't know. My mind is just all over the place and I can't even have a single word to say to him. Plus, I don't want to make a bad impression or something.
Aeon: The best bet is to see if he's interested in you, not trying to catch his attention. It just shows desperation.
Zoé: I don't want to get all desperate in a boy. But waiting to see if he's interest in me could be helpful.
Jessica: There you go. You don't want to be the stalker type.
Zoé: No. Don't want that. *Soon, a waiter came back to their table and put their orders down. *
Male waiter (Fin) Here we go. Here's your chicken sandwich with fries. *He put a plate down in front of Jessica. *
Fin: (putting a plate down in front of Zoe) Your Cobb salad with ranch on the side and , ma'am.
Zoé: Thank you.
Fin: (putting a bowl down) Here's your chicken noodle soup. And your baked potato with sour cream and chives on the side. *He puts the plate that has the baked potato down and put two cups down too. *
Aeon: Thank you.
Fin: You're welcome. *He walked away as they started eating their food and talked some more. *
Outside of the gate, Luka pedaled his bike and stopped when he saw Marinette by the gate.
Luka: Hey.
Marinette: Hey. You really came.
Luka: I told you I did. Come on. *He holds out a helmet for Marinette, she takes it, puts it on, and gets on to the back of the bike. Then he pedals down the sidewalk. *
Marinette: Where are we going?
Luka: I'm sure you'll recognize this place.
Marinette: Okay. *He keeps pedaling down the street. * 'Not sure what place he's taking me, but I know it's nice.'
Luka: Um, while we get there, you told me you were at the park with Sabrina, right?
Marinette: Yeah. Well, she wanted to meet me there.
Luka: Oh. What did she wanted to talk about?
Marinette: She's still shaken up about trying to make friends.
Luka: Huh, she is? I thought she already did.
Marinette: No. She just got to know the others, but making friends can be a bit of a challenge.
Luka: Yeah, it is. I'm sure you helped her out on that one.
Marinette: I did. I just told her to give it some time and people would warm up to her.
Luka: That's good. Hopefully that helps.
Marinette: I hope so too. *She looked away as Luka kept riding his bike to the place he had in mind. In Marinette's house, Tom tells Shang and Mulan the plan on making lasagna and Greek salad. *
Tom: Okay, so I'll show you how my mom makes the lasagna.
Mulan: Shouldn't be too hard to make.
Tom: It was hard for me when I made this dish myself, but my mom guided me on how to make it. Then over the years, I got the hang of it. I'm sure you two can do the same with my assistance.
Shang: So, what should we do first?
Tom: First is the ingredients. We have tomato sauce, ricotta sauce, an egg, lasagna noodles, some spices, garlic, beef and sausage meat, tomato paste, parsley, one onion, mozzarella, and parmesan cheese. *He gets a pot and fill it up with water. * Turn the stove on, set it to 350. *Mulan turned the stove on to 350 and waited for it to heat up. *
Mulan: The stove is on.
Tom: Thank you, Mulan. Now we just place the pot of water and wait for it to boil before adding the noodles in. *He put the pot on the eye that's on and waits for it to boil. * While we wait for it to boil, Shang, I need you to open up the box of lasagna noodles and have it ready when the water comes to a complete boil.
Shang: Okay. *He grabs the box of lasagna noodles and opens them up while waiting for the water to boil. *
Sabine: Don't forget my dinner request.
Tom: Of course, honey. We'll get that ready to go again. *He leans over at Mulan and Shang. * What did she want again?
Mulan: (whispers back) Tomato soup.
Tom: (whisper back) Right.
Sabine: (pouring some green tea in her cup) I'm gonna drink this and head to the bathroom. *She blew on her tea and took a sip. *
Mulan: And while the noodles boil, what would be next?
Tom: Next, we cook the meat sauce. Which is why I suggested beef and sausage.
Mulan: Okay.
Tom: Now, here's how you do it: Cook sausage and beef with onion and garlic. Drain well, add the pasta sauce & simmer it for a few minutes to thicken.
Mulan: Okay.
Tom: Go get the pan and we'll get started on it.
Mulan: Okay. *She goes to the bottom cabinet under the sink, pulls out a pan, Mushu hands Mulan the non-stick cooking spray, and Mulan sprays the pan. *
Tom: Smart idea. Now, let's cook the meat. *They get started on the meat while the pot starts to boil a little bit. *
In the Hibachi Sushi Express, Li Wong came back to Adrien and Kagami's table with their refill on their royal milk teas.
Li Wong: Here are your royal milk teas.
Adrien/Kagami: Thank you.
Li Wong: You're welcome. *He then walked away from their table and they continued eating their food. Soon, Kagami's phone buzzed, she pulled it out, and see what's on it. *
Adrien: (pick up another sushi) Who is it?
Kagami: My mother. *She dipped her Snow Crab sushi in ginger. * She's just checking on me.
Adrien: Oh, okay. I was afraid we would cut our lunch date short.
Kagami: I'm sure that'll never happen. *She picked up her cup and take a sip of her milk tea. * Besides, I like this.
Adrien: Me too. *He picked up his cup and take a sip too. * And this royal milk tea is pretty good.
Kagami: It's my favorite drink growing up. I don't drink it much, but you know.
Adrien: Oh, that's good. *Soon, his phone buzzed, he pulled it out, and see what's on it. *
Kagami: Is that your dad?
Adrien: No. It's Felix. He's with Bridgette right now.
Kagami: Oh. Are they together?
Adrien: Well... they're in a somewhat relationship, not sure if they'll get back together or trying to rebuild their relationship.
Kagami: (picked up a Snow Crab sushi) Well, a relationship is built on trust, maybe she's having like, trust issues. *She dipped her Snow Crab in the wasabi a little bit. *
Adrien: I wouldn't confirm that if that was the case, Marinette does know Bridgette a lot because they're sisters.
Kagami: Ahh, you're right about that. But what else could it possibly be?
Adrien: I wish I knew. *He drinks a little bit more of his royal milk tea and Kagami eats her sushi with wasabi. On the Le Grand Paris Hotel roof, the Winxs, Lovelix, Olixs, Majorixs, and Regalixs were relaxing on the roof, while looking at the view of the city. *
Roxy: I never noticed the view of the Hotel roof.
Lily: Neither have I.
Bloom: Probably because we haven't had the whole tour of the Hotel since we started working here.
Stella: (pushing her glasses down) True. But it is nice to be out and worrying about the disastrous events that have been happening lately.
Layla: Don't get too comfortable, Stella. We have to stay alert if anything suspicious is happening.
Stella: Ugh, figures. this is what happens when we have a day off. Plus, having to deal with those annoying villains. *Musa and Nataly chuckled quietly. Soon, Mayor Bourgeois walked up on the rooftop, he saw the girls looking at the view of the city. *
Andre: Hello, girls. *They turned around and saw mayor Bourgeois. * I see you found the Hotel roof.
Bloom: Yeah, we did.
Andre: Well, I wanted to let you all know that lunch is being served in the dining room. You can come down.
Bloom: Thank you for telling us that, sir. We'll down.
Andre: Okay. *He leaves the Hotel roof and heads back inside. *
Anya: I can eat.
Zoey: Let's go. *They walked back inside the Hotel and headed to the dining room. *
On the Island, in the Volcano Lair, Scarlet Truther adjusts her brooch a little bit and gets ready to corrupt a past Akumatized villain.
Scarlet Truther: Okay, so the last past Akumatized villains was Style Queen. I need someone who can be much powerful as her. But who? *She thinks for a little bit. * well, I can't really think of anything about the source, I'm sure this next villain I have in mind can do the job just right. 'Hopefully more useful than the last.' *Her brooch glowed red, her hands glowed red, and she made a past Akumatized villain appeared. *
???: Huh. Where am I? *Scarlet Truther opened her eyes and saw what she made. *
Scarlet Truther: Huh. Not what I have in mind, but it'll do. And to answer your question, you are in my Volcano Lair. I am Scarlet Truther and I corrupted you.
???: Oh, hello Scarlet Truther.
Scarlet Truther: And may I ask who are you?
???: I am Malediktator, I was known to be Mayor Andre Bourgeois.
Scarlet Truther: Malediktator. Interesting name and good source of Parisian flag color.
Malediktator: Of course.
Scarlet Truther: Mind if I ask you what your power is?
Malediktator: Oh yes, my power is create cursed energy bubbles.
Scarlet Truther: Cursed energy bubbles? What does that do?
Malediktator: I say the phrase, "By the power vested in me..." And I say the command, fire out the energy bubble, and that person does what I say.
Scarlet Truther: Interesting. Can you put it to the test?
Malediktator: Why, of course. *He looked at a few henchmen working and smirked at them. * By the power vested to me, I declare you both do the can-can. *He shoots out an energy bubble at the three henchmen and they do the can-can move, Scarlet Truther nodded her head in amusement. *
Scarlet Truther: Impressive. You'll do just fine, Malediktator. Why don't work on your powers more and come out when you're ready because I have a very crucial assignment for you.
Malediktator: Okay. *He walked away and worked on his powers. *
Scarlet Truther: Maybe this one might work out after all. I just hope he won't screw up. *On the open field, Luka stopped his bike, and parked the bike. *
Luka: (taking off his helmet) Recognize this place?
Marinette: (taking off her helmet) Yeah. Ut was like months ago.
Luka: Yeah. *He put the two helmets in the basket, got off the bike, and they both walked through the field. *
Marinette: It;s even more beautiful than before.
Luka: Yeah. It is. *He looked over at Marinette while holding her hand. *
