Swooping down to her balcony, Ladybug released her transformation, sending Tikki forward like a cannonball. Marinette collapsed on her chair and turns on her computer. Realizing the only homework she has left is an essay on whatever topic of her choice, she groans out.
"Tikki, how on earth am I going to pick a thing to write about. Not only that, I have to present it with something related to the topic."
"Why not do something on clothes? Not only is it something you excel at in knowledge, but your skills are incredible!"
Marinette smiles wistfully. "Thanks Tikki. The only problem is that it is due on Monday, and today's Thursday. I'm really stressed from helping out at the bakery, patrols with Chat, and thinking of an event for the class. The akumas don't help whatsoever, and I'm having a major fashion block. I don't think that I can take that all at once."
She stretches, and walks over to her bed. Then realizes that she forgot about Tikki.
"Sorry Tikki, there should be a plate of cookies right next to my sketchbook."
Tikki picks a cookie the bigger than her and munches on a chocolate chip. "You know Marinette, I don't think you should go to school tomorrow. You sound like you could use a break. And judging by how fired up you got when Chloé insulted you today, I think that it would be a good idea if you take the day off tomorrow."
"I wish. But I'm gathering suggestions for what the class wants to do. I think I'll manage." And with that, turns off her lights. Too tired to properly pull the blankets over her, she collapses with a loud THUD, and drifts off to sleep.
