Meanwhile on the streets, Shang stopped at the Centre Social et Culturel Rosa Parks, he turned the van off, unlocked the door, stepped out, opened the back door, pull out the boxes of pastries, he knocked on the door and the lady named Marissa saw who was at the door, opened the door.

Marissa: Hello, you're from the bakery, right?

Shang: Yes, I am. And these are for you.

Marissa: Yes, it is. Let's see. One dozen red velvet macarons. These are my favorite. *She takes the box and put it on the table. *

Shang: That's good to know.

Marissa: (taking another box) One dozen croissants. A friend of mine went to the bakery and said the croissants are always fresh and delicious.

Shang: I bet they are. *She puts the box next to the macarons on the table. *

Marissa: (holding another box) The cupcakes. Chocolate and vanilla. *She put the boxes next to the croissants. *

Shang: They are good. I help bake them.

Marissa: You bake these? I bet they taste so delicious. *Shang chuckled and she gets the last box in Shang's hands. * And the chouquettes. I heard these were good too.

Shang: Yep. The chouquettes are very good. Not sure why are they called that.

Marissa: I think it's just because it's a French pastry sugar puff.

Shang: Make sense.

Marissa: Here's your money. 100-euros.

Shang: Thank you. *He takes the money and counts it up. * Have a good day.

Marissa: Thank you, you too. *Shang leaves the community center, heads back to the van, and drives back to the bakery. In Saint-Jacques Elementary School, back in Ms. Myers' classroom, Ms. Myers went over the math problems on the board. *

Ms. Myers: Are we all done with the problems on the board? *Everyone answered yes to Ms. Myers. * Okay. But remember when the denominators are the same, we do not add, only add the numerators, understand that? *Everyone answered yes to her again. * Good, I want you all to remember that when we're gonna be tested on this soon. I want to say next week.

Ella: Aww, a test?

Etta: That's no fun.

Ms. Myers: Alright, let's get started. So number 1 is 5/8-3/8, who can tell me what's the answer? *A few kids raised their hand, Ms. Myers looked around for a volunteer. * Chris, what is your answer?

Chris: 2/8.

Ms. Myers: That is correct. The answer is 2/8, but we're not done yet. Because once we get a fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator to the number that's the same. Who can figure that one out? *Aria raised her hand. * Aria?

Aria: You divide 2.

Ms. Myers: That's correct. So, we divide 2 divided by 2, is 1, and 8 divided by 2 is 4. Therefore, the answer is 1/4. *She circled the answer on the board. * We got number 1, let's go ahead and do number 2: 9/18+4/18. Who got the answer to this one? *A few raised their hands. * Leah, what do you think the answer is?

Leah: It's 13/18.

Ms. Myers: (writing down the answer) That is correct, it's 13/18. Since nothing is divided by nothing, which makes it the right answer. *She circled it. * Number 3: 5 2/8+6 3/8. Notice that there are numbers in front of the fractions, those are whole numbers. We can add whole numbers. Who knows what 5 plus 6 is?

Ivan: (raised his hand) 11.

Ms. Myers: (writing down the number 11) That's right, Ivan. The whole number is 11. Now we move on to the fractions, who can tell me the answer? *Peyton raised her hand. * Yes, Peyton?

Peyton: It's 11 5/8.

Ms. Myers: (writing down the answer) That's correct, the answer is 11 5/8. *She circled the answer and moved on to number 4. * Number 4: 15 10/20- 13 10/20. Since we're subtracting, who knows what 15 minus 13 is? *Timmy raised his hand. * Timmy?

Timmy: It's 2.

Ms. Myers: That is correct. So our whole number is 2, but since our numerator is 10-10, which gives us 0. I guess our answer is just 2. *She circled the answer. * Now we move on to number 5: 20 16/30- 18 15/30. Who knows the answer? *A few raised their hands. * Dietrich?

Dietrich: Uh... I got 2 1/30.

Ms. Myers: That's right. 16 minus 15 is 1, which makes it 2 1/30. That's our answer. *She writes it down and circles the answers. * Last problem: 18/34-15/34. Who knows that one? *Chris raised his hand. * Chris?

Chris: It's 3/34.

Ms. Myers: (writes down the answer) That's correct, it's 3/34. Think you all got a better understanding of these problems. I have a homework assignment for you all to do on adding and subtracting fractions, there's even some problems that have whole numbers with fractions. I'll pass that out before you all go home. *She erased the problems on the board. * What time is it? It's 10:59, it's almost 11 and lunch isn't until 11:15. We'll use this time for some quiet time, you can read or talk quietly. *She walked back to her desk and everyone started talking or read quietly. *











At the College Francoise DuPont, the school bell rings and everyone leaves their classrooms and in the hallways for passing time. Matt, Blu, Chris, and Bill walked with Luka.

Matt: Hey, so any ideas on what we should give your sister for the party tomorrow?

Luka: (opening his locker) She loves the color purple, so anything girls like.

Matt: Anything purple?

Blu: Sounds easy.

Luka: Yeah. I know buying girl stuff can be hard because sometimes you can't tell what girls like.

Chris: Tell me about it. One time before mother's day, it was tough buying something for my mom. I even had to ask my aunt what my mom loves.

Luka: And what did she love?

Chris: A signed Patti LaBelle record.

Luka: Wow.

Chris: Yep.

Luka: (closed his locker) Whatever you guys give Juleka, she'll love it. She's not too picky with gifts.

Bill: Good to know. I'll ask my mom if I can go shopping for a gift.

Matt: Same with me.

Blu: I'll have to think what I can get for her.

Juleka: Hey, big brother.

Luka: Oh, hey.

Juleka: What are you guys talking about?

Luka: Nothing.

Chris: Just talking about what we should get you for your birth... *Matt covered his mouth. *

Juleka: Huh?

Luka: Nothing. He was just saying what we should get him for his... mom's birthday. Right?

Chris: (removing Matt's hand from his mouth) But my mom's birthday passed.

Matt: (covering his mouth again) I think you mean your sister. 'Don't spill about the present you're gonna get for Juleka.' *Juleka looked confused. *

Chris: (removing Matt's hand from his mouth again) Oh yeah. Just thinking about what present I should get for my sister.

Juleka: Oh, okay. *Soon, Zoé walked down the halls and she saw Juleka with Luka and his friends. *

Zoé: Hey, Juleka. You got a second?

Juleka: Uh... sure. *She and Zoe go somewhere quiet to talk. *

Matt: Way to blow your cover.

Chris: What? Why do we have to keep it all hush-hush.

Blu: That could ruin the surprise. She doesn't know what we're gonna get her.

Chris: Oh, right. My bad.

Luka: I'll see you guys at lunch.

Blu/Matt/Chris/Bill: Okay. *They head to their next class. By the girls bathroom door, a few students walk by in the halls, Zoé and Juleka stopped and talked. *

Zoé: Hey, um... mind if you, I know this is last minute but think you can invite Owen to your party tomorrow?

Juleka: Sure.

Zoé: Okay. But don't tell him I said anything about it.

Juleka: Okay, I won't say you suggested it. *Zoé sighed with relief. *

Zoé: Thank you.

Juleka: Who's Owen?

Zoé: Um... *She looked behind her and she sees Owen talking to Joshua by the water fountain. * That's him. *Juleka turned around and sees Owen. *

Juleka: I can ask him.

Zoé: (sighs) Thank you. I better head to gym class. Bye. *She head off to gym class and Juleka heads off to science class. *

Owen: I don't know, I started to like her.

Joshua: That's cool, amigo. Think this movie outing is not a date?

Owen: It's not a date. It's just two friends seeing a movie together.

Joshua: If you say so. But yeah, it's cool you want to get to know her better.

Owen: Yeah, but I don't want to rush into things. I don't want her to get all uncomfortable.

Joshua: I get it. Hopefully she'll feel the same way. *He looked all over and saw Mylene and Amber were talking and looking at a volunteer poster for a park cleanup day, he grinned at her. *


Owen: Like you and Amber?

Joshua: Yeah. Let's go, we got biology with Ms. Yelda.

Owen: Hopefully we're not gonna do anything strange.

Joshua: What could ever happen? *They both walk to Ms. Yelda's biology class. On an Island, in the Volcano Lair, a group of villains were either talking or working on their powers. *

Scarlet Truther: Hello, villains. *Everyone said hi to Scarlet Truther. * It's yet another day for more devious and evil doing.

Desiree: It's always the same thing everyday, nothing new has changed.

Scarlet Truther: True, Which is why we're not gonna give up or coward in fear. We're all better than this. *They agreed to that. * Now, I need a villain out there. Hmm... *She looked around and she saw the Tar Monster in his tube. * The Tar Monster. You'll do just fine. Stewart, let him out will you?

Stewart: Okay, Scarlet Truther. *He goes to the control panel, pressed the red button, the pod opened, and freed the Tar Monster. *

Tar Monster: Blaaaaah!

Icy: Still gross. *She filed her nails. The Tar Monster roared and took a few steps. *

Scarlet Truther: easy, big fella. We need you to work on your powers for your most targeted enemies, okay? *The Tar Monster nod his head yes and growled. * Good, now let's go. *She started walking and the Tar Monster followed her out of the room and into the main room. * Okay, go through there and work on your powers, you know, have some strength, be unbeatable. Think you can do that?

Tar Monster: Yes.

Scarlet Truther: Good. *The Tar Monster start moving to the left, the double doors opened, and he went through working on his power. * Hopefully this vile of ooze can do the job right. While I'll wait for him to get done, I'll think of what the past Akuma copy will go out soon.











Back in Paris, France, the van pulled up at the bakery, Shang stepped out and walked inside.

Sabine: (handing a customer a baguette bag) Ah, Shang. You're back. How was the route?

Shang: Pretty good. Here's the money. *He hands Sabine the money. *

Sabine: Thank you. *She put the money in the register and closed it up. Soon, the door opened and another customer walked in then stopped at the front counter. * Hello, ma'am and welcome to the Boulangerie Patsserie, how can I help you?

Female customer: Hello. I would like one baguette loaf, please?

Sabine: (putting in the total) One baguette loaf, that'll be 2-euros, please? Would you like to pay with cash or card?

Female customer: (holding out her debit card) I'll pay with card.

Sabine: Okay. *She took the card, scanned it, it went through, and she hands it back to her. *

Female customer: Thank you. *She puts the card in her wallet and put it back in her purse. *

Shang: I'll get the baguette, Sabine.

Sabine: Okay. *Shang and Mushu go to the bread display, Shang picked up the bageutte loaf, Mushu opened the bag Shang put the bread in the bag, and he closed up the bag. *

Shang: Here you go.

Sabine: Thank you. Here you go, ma'am.

Female customer: (taking the bag) Thank you. *She leaves the bakery with her baguette. Mulan hold the strawberry Swiss roll cake. *

Mulan: cake's all ready.

Shang: (taking the box) Okay, thank you.

Sabine: (holding the slip with the address) Here's the address.

Shang: Okay. I'll be right back. *He leaves the bakery, heads back to the van, put the cake in the backseat, closed the door and go into the driver seat then drive to the address as the next few customers walked inside the bakery. *

Mushu: Guess more people are coming here.

Sabine: Yep. *The first customer faced Sabine. * Hello and welcome to Tom and Sabine Boulangerie Patisserie, how can I help you? *At Middle School Francois Couperin, in Mrs. Ball's class, Mrs. Ball went through a history lesson. *

Mrs. Ball: The Neolithic Revolution, also called the Agricultural Revolution, marked the transition in human history from small, nomadic bands of hunter-gatherers to larger, agricultural settlements and early civilization. *A few kids yawned and started to doze off from the lecture. *

John: Boring.

Samuel: Shh. We need to know this.

John: No we don't it's boring. This is why I hate history. History is so boring and makes no sense. *Samuel rolled his eyes and write on his notebook. *

Mrs. Ball: Shortly after, Stone Age humans in other parts of the world also began to practice agriculture. Civilizations and cities grew out of the innovations of the Neolithic Revolution. That's just the beginning of the topic. Now we move on to the Neolithic Age. *She writes down Neolithic Age. * The Neolithic Age is sometimes called the New Stone Age. Neolithic humans used stone tools like their earlier Stone Age ancestors, who eked out a marginal existence in small bands of hunter-gatherers during the last Ice Age.

Alice: How long is this history class?

John: We just got started.

Alice: (groaned) Feels like it's been hours. Minutes even.

John: Be glad lunch is in another 1/2 an hour.

Alice: Ugh. Even worse.

Mrs. Ball: Alice, please no complaining in my class.

Alice: Sorry, Mrs. Ball.

Mrs. Ball: (side-eyed) Hmm. *She faced the board again. * Now, where was I? Oh yes. The Neolithic Revolution started around 10,000 B.C. in the Fertile Crescent, a
