At College Francoise DuPont, in Ms. Miller's drama class, Ms. Miller was talking about the importance of cooperation and communication.

Ms. Miller: There is a difference between Cooperation and Collaboration. Cooperation involves working with others to help them achieve their individual goals. For example, in drama, cooperation can include discussing, negotiating, rehearsing, and performing. All while Collaboration it involves people working together on a shared goal, with the end product coming from the group's efforts. In drama, collaboration can be similar to the function of a sports team or military unit, where many people contribute to the group's success. For example, actors can collaborate to pool their creative energies, resulting in a performance that transcends individual brilliance. Your homework assignment, I'm gonna partner you all up into a group of three people, you will use the methods we talked about today: Cooperation and Collaborating. *A few moaned at that. *

Camilla: Why do we even bother with this one? Even though the first week of school was already over.

Ms. Miller: Now, now. This will teach you all the two important things we discussed and one more thing: teamwork. Now, listen closely to your names and who you partnered up with. Taylor, Dennis, and Oliver.

Taylor: Hmm, not a bad choice. *Oliver nodded his head yes. *

Ms. Miller: George, Kylie, and Andrea.

Andrea: (facing Kylie) Cool.

Kylie: Yeah.

Ms. Miller: Stacey, Elizabeth, and Anna. Selma, Kendall, and Esra.

Esra: Hmm, not a bad choice.

Zoe: 'I hope I don't get paired up with anyone who might dislike me.'

Ms. Miller: Hailey, Trevor, and Owen.

Zoe: 'Aw man.'

Ms. Miller: And Zoe, Brittany, and Melissa.

Zoe: Wait who? *Brittany looked confused and looked over at Zoe. * 'That can't be good.'

Ms. Miller: Now, you all will pick a topic on how you wanna work together on this project, which you will present in front of the class tomorrow.

Zoe: (putting her head down) 'Just great.' *Soon, the school bell rang. *

Ms. Miller: Class dismissed. I'll look forward to what your acting will be about. *Everyone started gathering their stuff and left the classroom. Outside at the halls, Sabrina looked sad and avoided eye contact during the walk from class. *

Delmar: Sabrina? Sabrina? *He shakes her shoulder gently. * Sabrina!

Sabrina: (snapped out of it) Huh? Wha-what?

Delmar: You spaced out and you've been quiet since you've been to class. Is there something wrong?

Sabrina: No, nothing's wrong.

Delmar: Are you sure? You know you can tell me anything if something's bothering you.

Sabrina: It's nothing serious. Can... we not talk about this?

Delmar: Okay, if you're sure.

Sabrina: Okay. *She walked away from him, Delmar started to look confused about what just happened and is worried about Sabrina. *

Delmar: 'Something's up with her. I hope it's nothing serious. Maybe I'll ask her later when she feels like talking about.' *From beside the lockers, Sabrina sighed and looked sad. *

Sabrina: (looking at Delmar at a far distance) 'As much as I want to tell you what's going on; with me being falsely accused of being a spy, getting a week's detention, and Chloe ended our friendship. I don't have the strength to tell you all of this. Maybe when we're in a quiet place in school, we'll talk about it.' *She walked to her locker and got her stuff for her next class. *

Alya: So, now that we have a tests tomorrow, how do you think you'll do on the next one?

Marinette: (putting her social studies stuff in her locker, pulling out her science textbook and notebook) Probably okay, just hope this test won't be too hard.

Alya: (looking through her phone) I wouldn't say it would be hard. We were just studying about map classification and other stuff that has to do with what we learned from chapter 1.

Marinette: True. *She closed her locker door. * You coming?

Alya: One second, I have to go to the bathroom. If I'm late, tell Mrs. Jones I went to the bathroom.

Marinette: Okay. *She walked to Mrs. Jones' science class as Alya walked to the bathroom. Zoe opened her locker and she got her algebra textbook, notebook, and pencil case. *

Zoe: Ugh, out of all the people in my drama class, why did I have to be paired up with Brittany?

???: Who's Brittany? *Zoe exclaimed, nearly dropping her stuff, and she saw Jessica and Aeon in front of her. *

Zoe: H-h-hey, guys. Didn't know you were there.

Aeon: It's all good.

Jessica: You were talking to yourself about something so as good friends, we wanted to know what's up.

Zoe: Well... not much has been going on lately. 'Can't tell them about Brittany.' Just have a drama project to do.

Jessica: Oh, you take drama?

Zoe: Yeah. It's what's on my schedule. I have Ms. Miller as my drama teacher.

Aeon: That's cool.

Zoe: Yeah. It is. 'Not cool at all.'

Jessica: Nine o'clock.

Zoe: (looking at the time on her phone) It's only 10:21. Only 4 minutes until the next class.

Jessica: Not that. *She turns Zoe's head to the left. * That 9 o'clock. *Zoe looked at what Jessica is talking about, she instantly blushed when she saw Owen walking and talking to Joshua. * Still trying to make a move on him?

Zoe: No. The worst part is I can't even think of what to say to him. I'm just afraid I might make a fool of myself if I say or do the wrong thing that would make him feel less comfortable. I cannot let that happen. *She closed her locker door. * Not today, probably not ever.

Jessica: You sure you want to go down that path? He might have a thing for you, you'll never know.

Zoe: I'll believe it when I see it. *She walked to Ms. Bustier's class, Jessica and Aeon looked at each other. *

Jessica: (looking at Aeon) You're buying this, Aeon?

Aeon: I think there's a logical chance she got a case of denial.

Jessica: You're probably right. *They walk to their next class together. In the bakery, Melanie helped out boxing up a lemon cream pie for a customer. *

Melanie: (handing the box to Sabine) Here you go.

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

Female customer: (taking the box) Thank you. *She leaves the bakery with her lemon cream pie. Soon, Tom came out of the kitchen, holding a decorated chocolate coffee cake in the shape of an apple. *

Tom: Okay, here's the cake. *Melanie looked at the cake and she grinned at how it looked. *

Melanie: That looks good.

Tom: Thank you. This is for the school: Lycee Claude-Monet?

Melanie: Yes it is.

Tom: Okay. Here you go. *He handed her the box, she leaves the bakery for another delivery route to make, and Tom walked back to the bakery to work on the strawberry cheesecake birthday cake. When Melanie left the bakery for her delivery stop, a limo was parked outside the bakery. *

Mulan: Who is it?

Sabine: Looks like Mr. Bourgeois. *Soon, Mr. Bourgeois walked inside the bakery with some money in his pocket. * Oh, hello Mayor Bourgeois. What brings you here?

Mayor Bourgeois: Well, I was picking my wife up at the airport when one of your delivery employees came by the Hotel and delivered my rosemary baguette, unfortunately, I didn't;t come back in time and handed her the money. So, would you mind taking this? *He holds out the money from his pocket. *

Sabine: (taking the money) Thank you. *She counted it up and nodded. * Thank you, sir.

Mayor Bourgeois: You're welcome. I must be off, bye for now.

Sabine: Goodbye, sir. *Andre left the bakery, went back in the limo, and drives back to the Hotel. *

Mulan: That was nice.

Sabine: Indeed it is, Mulan. *Soon, the door opened and a customer walked inside the bakery. * Hello.

Mulan: Hello.

Male customer: Hello. One of my friends came to this bakery and said you guys make lots of fresh bread macarons, cakes, cookies, pies, and other stuff, right?

Mulan: Yes, sir. We do. Is there anything you want in our shop?

Male customer: (looking at the display case and the types of breads on display) So many to choose from. I would like to try your croquettes.

Sabine: (standing at the register) Would you like 1 dozen choquettes?

Male customer: Yes. And maybe three croissants too. I heard your croissants are fresh.

Sabine: That's right, sir. (She puts in the total) Your total comes up to... 9-euros. Would you like to pay with cash or card?

male customer: (pulling out his wallet) I'll pay with card.

Sabine: Okay. *He gets his debit card, swiped it in the machine, and the transaction went through as Mulan and Sabine put together his order. Mulan assembled the box, grabbed a pair of tongs, and put it in the box, Sabine opened the paper bag, put 12 choquettes in the bag, and closed it up too. * Here you go, sir. *Mulan also put a bag on top of the box. * Here you go, sir.

Male customer: (carrying the box and bag) Thank you. I bet these will taste so good.

Sabine: Well, we hope you enjoy them.

Male customer: I will. Thank you. *He leaves the bakery. Soon, the next customer walked inside the bakery and stopped at the counter. *

Sabine: Hello, welcome to Tom and Sabine Boulangerie Patisserie, how can we help you?

Female customer: I would like your finest macarons.

Mulan: (walking to the macaron display case) Well, ma'am, we got a variety selection of macarons you can choose from.

Female customer: A variety selection you say? Okay, I'll check it out. *She looked at the macaron flavors. * they all look good and creative. I'll like to have some red velvet macarons.

Sabine: Okay.How many would you like?

Female customer: 1 dozen macarons will be okay.

Sabine: (putting in the total) 1 dozen red velvet macarons. That'll be 6-euros. Would you like to pay with cash or card?

Female customer: I'll pay with a card.

Sabine: Okay. *She opened her purse, pulled out her wallet from her purse, got out her debit card, swiped it, the transaction went through, and Mulan started getting the order for the customer. *

Mulan: (putting the box down on the counter) Here you go, ma'am.

Female customer: Hmm... mind if I have one taste?

Sabine: Be our guest. They're yours. *She takes one red velvet macaron, takes a bite, and her eyes light up. *

Female customer: Mm, this is delicious. I've never had something this delicious before.

Mulan: We're glad you like the macarons.

Female customer: I'm sending my first review in this bakery. Thank you for your excellent service.

Sabine: Our pleasure, ma'am. *She gets her phone out, looks up the bakery website, and puts it in her review. *

Female customer: 5-star rating.

Sabine: That's very nice of you, ma'am. Hope you enjoy the macarons.

Female customer: (closing up the box, put her wallet back in her purse, and holding the box) I will, thank you. *She leaves the bakery with her macarons. *

Mulan: That's the first time we ever get a rating.

Sabine: We always get a good rating whenever people like our service.

Mulan: Ahh, okay. *Soon, the door opened and they see another customer and a little baby in a baby carrier. * Aww. I have a feeling we'll get another review.

Sabine: Hope so.











Outside of Lycee Claude-Monet High School, the van stopped in front of the school building.

Melanie: (looking out the window) This looks like the school. Quite a big high school, probably much bigger than College Francoise DuPont. *She turned the car off, took the cake box, unbuckled her seat belt, opened the car door, and stepped out. * Okay, I just have to get to the front office and tell them I got a cake from the bakery. *She walked into the school building, went into the school administration's office, and stopped at the front desk. *

Head administration (Mr. Wallace): Hello, welcome to Lycee Claude-Monet.

Melanie: Hello. I have a cake delivered, The principal, Francine Durand made a call for a retirement cake for a teacher in this school.

Mr. Wallace: Right, Ms. Moreau is retiring today, right. I'll show you the teacher's lounge. Follow me. *He gets up from his seat, they walk to the Teacher's lounge with the cake, they stopped at the door, he opened, and let Melanie inside. *

Mrs. Durand: (setting up cups and drinks) Hello, that must be the cake.

Melanie: Yes, ma'am. *She opened the box, revealing what the cake looked like. *

Mrs. Durand: The cake looks great. I'll take it and place it right here. *She takes the box from Melanie and places it on the table. * Thank you again.

Melanie: You're welcome, ma'am. Hope Ms. Moreau loves the cake.

Mrs. Durand: (opening her wallet, pulling out a 20-euro bill) I'm sure she will. Your money.

Melanie: (taking the money) Thank you. *She puts the money in her pocket, then leave the school building, and heads to the van. She stepped inside, started the van, and drives back to the bakery. * I'm just about done with the delivery route, all I have left to deliver is the strawberry cheesecake birthday cake for Clara Nightingale. *On the Island, in the Volcano Lair, Scarlet Truther walked into the dungeon where she saw the Dragon on a chain leash. *
