Marinette: Adrien?
Adrien: (on the phone) Good morning, Marinette! I was just going to tell you how excited I am that we're meeting at the swimming pool later, and to wake you up just in case you were still sleeping.
Marinette: (heartily laughs) Good call! I'm super excited, too.
(As she ended the call, she suddenly gets lost hold of her phone, dropping it on her bed. Her hands start shaking, her heart beating faster upon the vision of a school locker door.)
Tikki: Everything okay, Marinette...?
Marinette: Y-Yeah! I'm just feeling a little lightheaded, Tikki. I'll feel better after I grab some breakfast.
(In the kitchen, Marinette timidly mixes the cereal in her bowl.)
Sabine: Aren't you going to eat, sweetie?
Marinette: My stomach feels kinda yucky.
Sabine: On the morning you happen to finally have a real date with Adrien?
Marinette: Mom...! (continues to feebly mix the cereal on her bowl)
Sabine: It's not surprising. I'm sure those butterflies are just like the ones I had on my very first date with your father.
(As Sabine continues to talk to Marinette, Marinette begins to have visions of that one school locker once again and unconsciously spilling milk on the table.)
Marinette: Oh! Sorry, sorry, sorry! (puts the spoon in her bowl) I don't know what's wrong with me today.
Sabine: Let me take care of it. (starts wiping the table with a sponge) Go to the swimming pool and meet your Adrien.
Marinette: (gives Sabine a kiss) Thanks, Mom.
Marinette: Good morning!
Adrien: Good morning!
(He reaches out his hand to Marinette, in which she takes it with a slight hesitation. The two of them enter the swimming pool together, hand in hand. They stop by the reception.)
Adrien: Good morning, ma'am! How do we get in?
Receptionist: You have to buy tickets, young man.
Adrien: Then, two tickets, please.
(Glancing at a shelf nearby, Marinette sees a picture of Kim and Ondine, which causes her to have visions of the school locker again and lets go of Adrien's hand in panic.)
Adrien: You're shaking. Are you sure you're alright?
Marinette: I-I'm okay— I'm fine! I love the swimming pool!
(She hastily takes the two bracelets on the counter. The two proceed to the dressing room, with worry drawn on Adrien's face. As Marinette enters a cubicle, she puts down her bag, unzipping it, and the vision of the school locker haunts her once again, causing her to hyperventilate, slowly going down on her knees.)
Adrien: (knocking on Marinette's cubicle) Marinette, everything okay?
Marinette: Yeah, I just have a problem with my shoelaces. Go ahead, I'll meet you there.
(Adrien walks away from her cubicle, while Marinette breaks down inside, taking heavy breaths.)
Tikki: Marinette, what's going on with you?
Marinette: (breathes heavily) I don't know. I feel strange...
(By the stairs, Marinette is now seen wearing her swimsuit and climbs down shakily with both hands holding the rails. Adrien, Kim and Ondine sees her.)
Kim: (waves by the pool) Over here! Marinette!
(Marinette starts to panic even worse upon the sight of Kim, with the visions of the school locker continues to haunt her again.)
Adrien: (to Marinette, as he climbs down the pool) Need a hand?
(Reaching her hand out to Adrien, the school locker that's been haunting her opens which appears to be full of a swarm of bees. Marinette screams to this sight and runs away in panic and fear.)
Adrien: Marinette! What's wrong?
Marinette: Leave me alone! I need to be by myself and... stop pretending to be so nice to me!! (runs up the stairs)
Kim: (laughs and swims towards the edge of the pool) Woah, Adrien, that must've been some prank you pulled to make Marinette freak out like that. What did you do to her?
Ondine: (comes out of the pool) It's not funny, Kim! Can't you see Marinette's not okay??
Kim: Oh, come on. She always reacts like that when someone pranks her.
Ondine: What on earth are you talking about??
Kim: Right. You guys wouldn't know. (swims a lap and swims back to Adrien and Ondine) Let me explain, you'll see; it's hilarious! It was last year, when Marinette and I were in eighth grade.
(In the dressing rooms, Marinette enters one of the cubicle and slams the door shut, taking heavy breaths.)
Marinette: What's wrong with me?? I'm destroying everything I've ever wanted!
(A portal appears in front of her, a Megakuma emerging from it and lands on Marinette's bracelet.)
Monarch: (from his lair) Panic, I am Monarch. I have sensed your distress. It's a terrible thing when emotions get so strong that you lose control of your physical being. If you want, I can give you the power...
Marinette: (voiceover) This can't be happening... I've got to pull myself together! I have to figure out why I get like this every time I get close to Adrien! Otherwise, I'm gonna fall apart!
Kim: Three, two, one... go!
(Kim and Ondine jump into the pool.)
Kim: I'm catching up to you! I'm catching up to you!
Ondine: In your dreams! Even with a motor in your swimsuit, you'd still be slower than me!
(From a distance, a lovesick Marinette is wringing her hair while looking at Kim, who is being splashed with water by Ondine.)
Sabine: Aren't you eating, sweetie?
Marinette: I have a tummy ache. Can't I stay home today?
Sabine: Hmm... Yesterday, your foot hurt, and the day before that, it was your head. Come on, chin up. You only have two weeks of school left with her. She probably won't even be in your class next year.
Marinette: Three years in a row, Mom. Why would my luck change now? (stands up from the table and bumps her cereal bowl, spilling milk on the table, her clumsiness thriving yet again, to which Sabine simply smiles)
Denis Damocles: Classes started ten minutes ago, yet you're still roaming the hallways! This is the eighth time this week! Good thing an anonymous student warned me every time you're about to break the rules... (whispers to himself) I wonder who that mysterious Chloé could be... Anyhow, my office now, Miss Dupain-Cheng!
(Marinette follows with her head down.)
Ms. Mendeleiev: (sarcastic) Congratulations! Another two weeks like this and you'll set a new school record for the number of tardies in my class this year. Now go to your desk. Quietly.
(Marinette closes the door and walks to her table.)
Chloé: What's with the even-more-depressing-than-usual face, Dupain-Cheng? Something bugging you?
(Sabrina chuckles. Just as Marinette sits on her chair, she feels something gooey which turns out that someone spilled paint on her seat. The class looks at her, causing Marinette to feel humiliated. Chloé laughs at this sight.)
Chloé: She wants to design clothes yet she can't even keep hers clean!
Sabrina: Wow, Chloé, you really put a stain on her character!
Chloé: Shush! If I'm not the one who's said it, it's not funny.
Marinette: Chloé, this was another one of your dirty tricks!
Ms. Mendeleiev: Not only are you late and wasting everyone's time running around, now you're groundlessly accusing one of your classmates!? Why don't you go and see what the Principal thinks of this??
Marinette: But I just came back from his office!
Ms. Mendeleiev: Well, go back!
(Marinette begins her walk of shame once again.)
Chloé: And to think the day is just getting started! (notices Rose glaring at her) What's your problem? You wanna play with some paint, too? (Rose looks away. She sees Juleka glaring at her as well) What about you? Is there something you want to tell me? Other than (mocks Juleka) ah-dah-dah-duh-duh? (laughs as Juleka looks away too)
(Marinette peeks through the door, worry drawn on her face, and closes it.)
Marinette: (as she goes down the stairs) I just got three more hours of detention on Saturday, and it's all because of Chloé.
Rose: Don’t be mad at her. She's this way because her mother left her when she was young.
Mylène: So did mine! And you don't see me having fun bullying Marinette. We've got to do something about your pants. I'm afraid they might be ruined for good.
Marinette: Oh— They were my favorite pair...
Kim: (off-screen) You can have my swimming trunks if you'd like!
Marinette: (blushes and titters) Thanks, but swimming trunks are for swimming pools. It'd be weird to be wearing them in the school yard.
Chloé: (off-screen) Out of the way, you parasites! I warned you: no talking to the baker girl!
Rose: (whispers as the three of them walk away) We'll talk in the cafeteria.
Marinette: The only place she never goes to, for now.
Chloé: (to Kim) Parasite means you, too, goldfish brain!
Kim: Oh, thanks! That's nice! (leaves)
Chloé: I have big news for you, Dupain-Cheng! Starting now, there will be no rest for you, not even in the cafeteria! I'll be there to make your life a nightmare!
(Socqueline scares Chloé off with what seems to be almost a kick, foot poised near Chloé's face.)
Socqueline: I've warned you, Bourgeois! You leave Marinette alone!
Chloé: Hmmm... you can't even have fun with people in peace these days!
Socqueline: Marinette, I promised your mom I'd keep an eye on you, but I can't be around all the time. And next year, I won't even be here anymore! You've gotta learn to stand up to Chloé!
Marinette: Well, even the teachers are afraid of her. And the semester's almost over... Hopefully, next year we won't be in the same class again.
(Marinette gazes at Kim, who is bullying Max with his glasses.)
Socqueline: Don't tell me you're crushing on this dingbat?
Marinette: Why not? He's nice, funny... and kinda cute!
Socqueline: And are you going to do something about this, for a change?
Marinette: You're right, I've gotta do something. I know! I could ask him out to the swimming pool after school, what do you think?
(Socqueline glares at Kim, who snatches Max's glasses back and wears it on him.)
Max: No! Stop! (leaves)
Kim: C'mon, Max! Laugh a little!
Socqueline: I think you might be confusing kindness for foolery, Marinette.
Marinette: You're being too hard on him.
Socqueline: Be careful, Marinette.
(Meanwhile, Sabrina spies on the conversation between Socqueline and Marinette. She approaches Chloé, who gives her a scoop on Marinette's plan.)
Sabrina: (whispering) Looks like Kim and Marinette will be at the swimming pool...
(Chloé's mischievous grin grows as she sets her gaze upon Marinette and Kim.)
Marinette: I'll see you tonight then!
Chloé: So... I heard Marinette asked you to go with her to the swimming pool.
Kim: Yeah, we're going swimming together. Cool! 'Cause I love to swim!
Chloé: That's not why she asked you, dummy!
Kim: It's not? Then, what are we going to do?
Chloé: She wants to declare her feelings for you!
Kim: For me? But why?
Chloé: Probably because she's utterly ridiculous, and so are you, which makes you two perfect for each other!
Kim: Oh? You think so?! But, uh... if we're not swimming, then... what are we supposed to do when we're together?
Chloé: What do you like to do besides swimming?
Kim: Uh... I like to laugh!
Chloé: Well, there you go! That's what you're gonna do: laugh! Because I've got a great idea for a super funny practical joke!
(Chloé whispers her little scheme to Kim.)
Kim: You sure she'll like it?
Chloé: She'll LOVE it.
Kim: (chuckles) Awesome! You're just too funny, Chloé!
Chloé: You know me, an absolute scream!
Socqueline: So... you're going just like that? What are you gonna say to him?
Marinette: I don't know... I'll just see if we're having a good time, and if I feel like the moment's right at some point, I'll just tell him how I feel, that's it. This isn't Taekwondo, Socqueline! We're just going to the swimming pool. I don't need to have a plan or go over my every move.
(Socqueline looks worried. The bus arrives at the swimming pool stop, and Marinette gives Socqueline a kiss on the cheek.)
Marinette: I'll tell you how it went tomorrow!
Socqueline: Right...
(Marinette gets off the bus, leaving Socqueline perturbed. Marinette runs towards the entrance of the swimming pool, right after the bus leaves. Back in the bus, after a few contemplations, Socqueline presses the stop button and gets off as well.)
Marinette: You know, Kim, I think you're really funny... and nice... and sweet, too. And I... I think I'd like us to be more than friends.
Kim: You do? (smiles and gets on his knees, presenting a tiny box) Oh, Marinette, when you're around, I feel like I'm in a dream, as if I were swimming in the awesomest ocean! I'd give you every pool floaty in the world if I could! But all I have is this tiny... thing. (smiles nervously)
Marinette: (smiles and blushes) Oh, Kim! (stands up, grabbing the tiny box and looks at Kim lovingly for a moment) I love you!
(As soon as Marinette opens the tiny box, a bunch of spiders crawl out, reaching for her arms. She starts screaming and drops the box, while Kim bursts into laughter.)
Kim: Chloé was right, spiders are hilarious!
(As more spiders crawl in on her feet, Marinette keeps screaming while trying to wipe the spiders off her arms, and tries to back away, leading to her to fall backwards into the water. Mid-way, she sees Chloe and Sabrina taking a video of her from one of the balconies, in slow motion, right before she plunges into the water. The lifeguard helps her out of the pool and calls out the duo who flees from the scene laughing.)
Lifeguard: Hey! You two!
Chloé: From this day on, your life will be an endless torment, Dupain-Cheng! (replays the video clip of Marinette falling down the pool on the phone) Even if you spent your whole life locked in your room, you'd still be the star of Shame TV on social media every day!
(As Chloé continues to laugh off her triumph, Socqueline appears and swiftly kicks the phone out of Chloé's hands and steps on it, breaking the device. Socqueline scowls at the intimidated Chloé and Sabrina right after.)
Kim: (off-screen) So, that was hilarious, right? I'm cracking up! (laughs)
Socqueline: (pushes Kim away) You! Go away! You should be ashamed of yourself!
Kim: Come on! It was just a practical joke! (walks away)
(Marinette opens the door and breaks down as she sees Socqueline.)
Marinette: (sobs) I will never, ever fall in love again!
Socqueline: It wasn't your fault, Marinette.
Marinette: Yes, it was! You were right! I should've known, been more prepared... I should've had a plan! I should've been careful! (wipes her tears as her face shifts to anger) I'll never tell another boy that I love him before I know (slams the door with her fist) everything about him! Whether he's kind or not, thoughtful, what he does outside of school and with who, I'll know everything, his birthday, all his first names, his schedule, his favorite things! And above all, I'll make sure that he is NOT friends with Chloé! (breaks down and hugs Socqueline)
Chloé: And then, for no reason at all, she attacked me with her ugly little feet! Fortunately, by some incredible stroke of luck, I didn't get hit! (Socqueline facepalms.) Then, I had to witness the massacre of an innocent phone!
Denis Damocles: (clears throat) I'm afraid there's not much I can do. All of this happened in an extra-curricular setting, outside the school premises... and it wasn't even your phone!
Chloé: (nods) Oh, I understand... (pulls out her phone) Luckily, when Daddy finds out how incompetent you are, he'll appoint a new principal with a greater sense of justice!
Denis Damocles: Uh— Come now, Miss Bourgeois, we don't want to bother the Mayor for something so minor! Socqueline, you're hereby suspended for two weeks!
Socqueline: (objects, getting on her feet quickly) But that means until the end of the year! What about the class council? What about the prom?
(Chloé, being victorious, gives Socqueline a menacing grin.)
Chloé: Good riddance.
Marinette: (off-screen) Socqueline, wait! (catches up to Socqueline, who then stops walking upon hearing Marinette) I'm sorry. This is all my fault. It's not fair you're being punished because of me!
Socqueline: (places her hands on Marinette's shoulder) Every good fight is worth fighting. We shouldn't be influenced by our chances of winning, but by whether or not it's the right thing to do! (starts walking away) Remember, Marinette: you gotta know when to step in; that's the only way you can change things in life!
Marinette: (laughs triumphantly) I know why I'm so afraid!
(Back at the pool, Adrien and Ondine are furious of Kim's backstory.)
Ondine: You did THAT to Marinette?!
Kim: Just like Chloé said: when you like a girl, you get on one knee, compliment her and give her jewelry! Except that time, it wasn't for real! It was just a practical joke! (laughs and sighs) Chloé is the prettiest girl in the world and the funniest, too...
(Kim smiles. However, Adrien is none too pleased at all with Kim’s actions and is about to throw hands, clenching his fist in great rage.)
Ondine: (enraged) How could you say that in front of me and do such awful things to Marinette?! Your behavior is cruel and unacceptable!
Kim: (a bit frustrated) Come on! Loosen up, you guys! It's like you can't even speak your mind these days. (scoffs)
Ondine: That doesn't give you permission to hurt other people!
Kim: Whatever! I'm the way I am and I'm fine that way! It's not my fault you guys have no sense of humor! (Adrien and Ondine scowl angrily at Kim as he dives in the pool and swims away, looking very angry.)
Monarch: A free spirit feeling unjustly rejected? As an ardent defender of freedom of oppression, it is my duty to help him! Voyage, my Megakuma! (the Megakuma enters the portal, leading it back to the swimming pool)
Monarch: (from his lair) Dark Humor, I am Monarch. We should be able to laugh at anything and anyone. That's why I'm giving you the power to win people over with your unique sense of humor! Xuppu, (Xuppu's pod hovers towards Monarch) your power is now mine! (absorbs his power) Transfer! (taps on his ring and transmits the power of the Monkey Miraculous to Kim) Of course, the spoilsport Ladybug and Cat Noir will try to knock some sense into you. But thanks to the essence of the Miraculous of Derision that I'm also giving you, you will be able to seize their Miraculous!
Kim: At least you get my sense of humor! (succumbs to the akumatization and transforms into Dark Humor)
(Back at the dressing rooms, Marinette finally comes out with confidence.)
Marinette: Adrien! I know what's wrong with me! (goes down the stairs) It's not my fault, and it's not your fault, either! It's all Chloé's fault!
Dark Humor: So, all you wet blankets, ready to learn to have fun?
Marinette, Adrien and Ondine: Kim??
Lifeguard: Hey, you! There's no flying in the pool!
Adrien: (takes Marinette's hand and runs away to put her to safety) This way!
Dark Humor: Aw, it's like you can't do anything anymore! (shoots his arrow with a rubber duck tip at the lifeguard)
Lifeguard: I'm going to drain the pool! It'll be hilarious when people dive in! (runs away)
Ondine: That's not funny at all! It's seriously dangerous!
Dark Humor: Why aren't you laughing? Where's your sense of humor? (shoots Ondine with an arrow)
(In one of the dressing rooms, Adrien puts Marinette to safety.)
Adrien: Stay here. I'm going to get help! (closes the door)
Marinette: (gasps) At least when we're running away hand in hand, I don't shake like a leaf! Tikki, spots on! (transforms into Ladybug)
(Adrien proceeds to hide in another dressing room.)
Adrien: Kim's gone WAY too far! Plagg, claws out! (transforms into Cat Noir)
Ondine: Bullseye! Direct hit! What?! Don’t you like playing battleships? (continues to hit the ships on the fountain with a pipe as the children start crying)
Dark Humor: Why aren't you laughing? Where's your sense of humor? (shoots arrows at the children and gets blocked right on time by Ladybug and Cat Noir)
Cat Noir: (with immense anger) Can't you pick on someone your own size?? Do you have no shame at all?!?! (attempts to hit Dark Humor with his staff)
Ladybug: Cat Noir, calm down. We just need to destroy the akumatized object. You're gonna hurt him!
Cat Noir: And he'd deserve it!!!! (continuously beats Dark Humor with his staff out of anger and tackles him on the ground) We'll see if you're still laughing after I wiped that smile from your face with my... Cataclysm!!!
Ladybug: (stops Cat Noir by wrapping her yo-yo around his wrist) No!! What's happening to you?
(And as the heroes are both distracted, Dark Humor takes the opportunity to touch Cat Noir with one of his arrows, to which Dark Humor laughs maniacally and triumphantly. Now under the influence of Dark Humor, Cat Noir's cataclysm harnesses balls instead of destructive energy.)
Cat Noir: (skips around like a child) I don't know about you, but I'm having a ball! (produces tiny balls all over the area...) Sorry you have to bounce so soon! (...which causes people to slip off their feet)
[Superpower Sequence]
Ladybug: Lucky Charm!
(Dark Humor disrupts Ladybug's Lucky Charm by shooting an arrow and turning it into a balloon.)
Ladybug: No!!
(Dark Humor laughs.)
Monarch: (from his lair) This is where your luck runs out, Ladybug!
Cat Noir: (as he continues to scatter tiny balls around the area) Balloon?? YAY! Come on, buddy! Let's play ball! (tosses the balloon towards Dark Humor, blocking his sight)
Dark Humor: H-Hey!
Ladybug: (after hiding behind a pillar) Spots off! (de-transforms...)
Marinette: Spots on! (...and transforms back to reactivate her power)
Ladybug: Lucky Charm!
Dark Humor: Wait! How did she do that??
Monarch: (from his lair) She had time to transform back and forth, you fool!
(Ladybug receives a toilet bowl.)
Dark Humor: (laughs) What's with that? Is nature calling?
(He shoots an arrow at Ladybug as she flips back to dodge it. Ladybug then uses her Lucky Vision: looking at the toilet bowl, at Cat Noir who is still skipping around, the arrow that Dark Humor just shot,...)
Parisian kid: Heheh, I know how to keep people glued to their seats! (glues a seat and runs away)
(...a glue tube that a child left on a bench at a distance, and an arc to one of the wings near the museum.)
Ladybug: That's right, nature's calling me to kick your butt!
(Dark Humor continues to shoot arrows at Ladybug as she makes her run to execute her plan. She dodges the arrows one by one but then makes a mishap as one of the arrows makes her lose balance, but makes it to where she was going anyway...)
Dark Humor: I got her!?
(...Hiding by the arc, she applies glue in the toilet bowl, and comes out pretending she got hit by one of Dark Humor's arrows.)
Ladybug: Hahahah! It's my turn to laugh now!
Dark Humor: Ladybug! Make way for Ladygag! (laughs)
(Cat Noir is seen juggling the tiny balls.)
Ladybug: Cat Noir! Yoo-hoo! Here, kitty-kitty! (does multiple attempts to place the toilet bowl on top of Cat Noir's head as a diversion)
Cat Noir: Ew! Are you out of your mind??
Ladybug: What's wrong? Where's your sense of humor? Would you prefer a litter box? (laughs)
Dark Humor: Hahah! Good one, Ladygag!
Monarch: (from his lair) You got them both! Bravo, Dark Humor! Now all you have to do is to take their Miraculous!
(Dark Humor flies to chase after Ladybug and Cat Noir.)
Ladybug: (chuckles as she runs after Cat Noir) Sit, kitty! The potty's just getting started!
(Dark Humor closely reaches for Ladybug's earrings, and as Ladybug notices him behind her, she puts the toilet bowl on Dark Humor's head.)
Dark Humor: Hey! Get this off of me!
Ladybug: Hah! That's right! I pretended to be hit. What's the matter? Don't you like my practical joke? You really need a sense of humor.
Cat Noir: Over here! Right there! Nope, over here!
Dark Humor: This... isn't funny!!
(Ladybug wraps her yo-yo around the toilet bowl on Dark Humor's head and breaks it, along with the akumatized object, making the Megakuma emerge from it.)
Ladybug: No more evil-doing for you, Megakuma! (opens her yo-yo) Time to de-evilize! (catches the Megakuma) Gotcha! (releases the purified butterfly) Bye-bye, little butterfly! Miraculous Ladybug!!
(Ladybug throws a broken fragment of the toilet bowl in the air and reverts every damage caused by the villain back to normal, including the victims of Dark Humor and himself, who is now de-transformed back to Kim.)
Kim: What happened?
Ladybug: Monarch used your emotions to manipulate you. (opens her yo-yo and grabs a magical charm) Kim, this is a magical charm. Always keep it with you. May it help you avoid making the same mistakes again.
Cat Noir: I'm sorry. I let my emotions get the better of me, too.
Ladybug: Don't worry. It can happen to anyone. That's why there's two of us. That way, one of us is always there to help the other.
Ladybug and Cat Noir: Pound it!
Kim: (worried) I can't remember anything. I hope I didn't do too many awful things while I was a supervillain...
Ondine: (displeased) The worst thing is that you do awful things even when you're not akumatized, Kim.
Kim: (annoyed) Again, with that story? It was just a joke!
Ondine: (points to Marinette) A girl liked you and you broke her heart!
Kim: (ignorantly) But I had no idea!
Ondine: (honestly) Just because you have no idea is no excuse! The pain is still real!
(Kim sighs and looks at his magical charm, finally realizing that his prank shouldn't have came at the expense of Marinette's feelings.)
Kim: You're right, Ondine. I'm just a fool who doesn't think about the consequences of what I say or do. But I'm going to change. (to Marinette, apologetically) I'm sorry I hurt you, Marinette. Can you please forgive me?
Marinette: (smiles kindly at Kim for his sincere apology) Apology accepted, Kim.
Ondine: (hugs Kim) There! That's the boy I fell in love with! (kisses Kim's cheek)
(Seeing Kim and Ondine reconciled, Adrien and Marinette smile at one another, realizing that everything’s sorted out.)
Marinette: I finally figured it out why I keep making things so difficult — why I'm so afraid of telling you how I feel. I know you'd never mean to hurt me, but... somehow I'm still scared. And, I'm afraid I'll be scared for a long time to come.
Adrien: I'm scared, too. This is all new to me as well. I won't always know how to react. I'm scared of doing something wrong, scared of hurting you, scared of someone else hurting you... scared of losing you. But we're together, you and me, and we'll do whatever we can to help each other. And then together, maybe we'll become less and less scared. (reaches out his hand to Marinette)
(A hint of hesitation washes over Marinette: at one second she holds Adrien's hand, and lets go at the next.)
Marinette: I'm sorry.
Adrien: We've got time.
Adrien: I know about everything that you did to Marinette last year, Chloé. You're going to go and apologize to her and prove to everyone that you can change. I'm sure she'll forgive you.
Chloé: (cackles) Forgive me? What do I care about her forgiveness? I couldn't care less about Dupain-Cheng's feelings! She and the likes of her only exist to suffer for my entertainment. Why bother having power if you can't use it against those who don't have any? You're the one who’s getting things wrong, with your baker girl! You're a prince! You belong with me, the princess! You're in this world to shine! To make fun of all the losers who are only good enough to be used as doormats! (She reaches her hand out to Sabrina, who angrily scowls at Chloé's remark since she views her as a doormat. Sabrina continues to paint Chloé's nails nonetheless.)
Adrien: You're nothing like a princess, Chloé. I supported you. I gave you multiple chances to become a better person. Everyone reached out to you, including Ladybug and Cat Noir when they gave you the Miraculous of the Bee again. But all you ever think about is yourself.
Chloé: And what else is there to think about? Losers and nobodies? The little bees? The planet?
(She scoffs and goes back to reading her magazine. Adrien glares at Chloé in anger and great spite. This was the final straw for Adrien, who was completely fed-up with Chloé's attitude)
Adrien: (angrily) We will NEVER be friends again, Chloé. You and I are DONE. (walks away in anger)
Chloé: (glares at Adrien hypocritically) Traitor.
