"Okay so normally I would never invite you three up here. But if you are willing to obey whatever I say I suppose that I have to put up with it." Chloe said as she dismissed the group into her stately bedroom.
Unknown to her Alix had been in the room, to clean it when the entire class had to work at the hotel for a school assignment. Marinette had entered the bedroom plenty of times as Ladybug, this was one of the few times she had actually seen it as her civilian identity. It was a fancy bedroom, easily the size of Marinette's house. Everything was very high quality, only the most expensive things for Chloe after all.
Alix grabbed Marinette and Alya and pulled them to the side to convene in a small huddle about what they should do next.
"Okay so we need to get this little brat to do more or less what I convinced you to do the other day. Problem is she isn't as open and trusting as you so it's going to be a real headache and a half." Alix said speaking directly to Marinette now. "Now we need ideas here people."
"How about we drop this insanity and go home?" Alya stated simply. She was going to keep on pushing that until Alix finally accepted it and moved on with her life. Alix looked at her blankly before turning to Marinette.
"Any idea at all, no such thing as a bad one."
"We could always try tricking her into doing something. Honestly I don't think that she will be very willing to follow orders as easily as I was." MArinette spoke honestly. She was a bit too trusting of people. Chloe was the exact opposite and treated everyone as if they were a snake that was madly in love with her.
"Yeah...yeah tricking her seems like the best bet...or even better convincing her that she's teaching us or something." Alix said darkly. She was starting to form a plan towards the back of her mind. Alix thought for a moment before she snapped her fingers.
"Okay just follow my lead and do what I do. We just have to show her how horrible she is at something and we should be able to get her to do whatever we want." Alix broke the huddle and turned back to the two other girls who were texting each other on their phones while sitting next to each other.
"Yo Chloe." Alix said breaking her concentration and walking over to the girl. Chloe stood up regally crossing her arms and looking down on the shorter girl. Sabrina jumped to her feet to stand beside her.
"Chloe have you ever even kissed anyone before?" Chloe scoffed and flipped her hand rapidly in front of her face indignant at the very thought of the question. She wrinkled up her face as if she had just caught a whiff of something utterly disgusting.
"Of course I have! Adrien! Countless times! You have all obviously noticed!"
"I've seen you molesting blonde boy a ton." Alix said as she picked up a wax apple that was set up in a fruit stand for aesthetic. She however expected it to be real and tried to bite it, realized it was fake she spat it out into her palm and slipped it into her pocket. "Wouldn't exactly call it consensual."
Chloe bristled as if she were preparing to launch herself at the shorter girl. Alya quickly intervened.
"Okay better question then. Has someone ever kissed you? Like full on the lips?"" Chloe pursed her lips and narrowed her eyes not making eye contact with anyone.
"Well?" Marinette said, she was trying not to enjoy herself but it was just so fun, Chloe...Chloe Bourgeois, the most haughty and vain girl in the entire school, probably the entire country had never kissed anyone. Marinette was ahead of her in something!
Sure it was as Ladybug, and it was with Chat Noir...and it was because he was hypnotized...whatever! She was counting it as a win anyway.
"No." Chloe mumbled out quietly.
"Didn't here that." Alya practically trilled out. Chloe glared at her before repeating herself.
"No I have never kissed anyone. Happy?"
"In general or right now? Because the answer to both is yes."
"So let's assume that you don't know how to kiss-" Alix started up when Chloe cut her off.
"I do so! Only a peasant wouldn't know how to kiss!"
"Well let's see it then." Alix said walking over to Chloe's bed and grabbing a pillow, she flung it at the girl who instinctively ducked and covered her head, as if she expected it to give her a concussion. She snatched it up off the dirty floor and brushed it off. She held it and turned it one way and then another.
"See what then?"
"Kiss it! Show us how you do it! You do use pillows to practice right? You're not like those two who just use each other." Alix said pointing at Alya and MArinette. The two looked indignant and then embarrassed. Alya took a sidestep to get a bit of distance between her and her best friend.
"Wait you honestly think that we practice kissing on each other?" Marinette said confused. "And so do Sabrina and Chloe?"
Sabrina gagged and Chloe glared at Alix agagin.
"AS IF!"
"NEVER!"
"I WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE!"
"Why do you guys spend all your time together then?" Alix responded simply.
"Do you really think that people who spend time together are always practicing kissing?" Alya said legitimately concerned for the short pink haired roller skater.
"That's neither here nor there. So show us Chloe. If you really don't take out all of your frustrations on Sabrina let's see you take it out on the pillow." Chloe looked at the four girls looking at her expectantly.
"This is so stupid."
"Then it should be relatively easy for you to do right?" Chloe made sure that Alya wasn't recording with her precious little phone, the girl would. So with her eyes wide open Chloe pursed her lips up into a little bow and pressed them to the pointed corner of the pillow. She pushed them up against the fancy silk pillow and breathed outwards through her nose. After thirty odd seconds she finally took her lips away and looked at them all triumphantly.
"Well how was that?"
"It could have been better." Sabrina said trying to be supportive.
"Sad. Just sad." Alya said. She could have done a trillion times better.
"Disappointing." Alix said shaking her head.
"I honestly thought it was pretty good." Marinette said trying to hide a snicker. This might actually be worth it. Chloe glared at the four of them before she shoved it at them.
"I had stage fright. Sabrina show them what I taught you!" Sabrina turned beet red before she took the pillow, went to a clean corner and angled her head to the side. She softly began to kiss it, little fluttering ones that would just take a second before she moved away as if to get a breath and then returned her lips to it. She finally stopped and turned to everyone waiting for her reviews.
"That was...something?" Alya said, really not sure how to critique it, the girl had just given the pillow a thousand fluttery kisses that you would normally see something like a bird do when it was picking up grain.
"I thought it was cute?" Marinette tried, she didn't want to hurt the girls feelings, but it wasn't exactly passionate.
"It wasn't as great as mine, but it wasn't bad." Chloe gave her best friend a typical backhanded comment.
"GAH! You two are terrible." Alix said disgusted. "Seriously with all the practice that you guys get from each other you would think you could actually do a halfway decent kiss."
"Okay how many times do we have to tell you that we haven't done anything gay to each other? Seriously it is going from funny to creepy." Marinette said, seemingly the only person who seemed to care about what Alix kept on implying.
Everyone else were just annoyed that they didn't seem to satisfy everyone when it came to kissing.
"Let me!" Alya said exasperated. "I'll show you how it's really done." She took the pillow and turned to an unused corner. She opened her mouth and actually seemed to stuff the corner in, using her teeth as a grip.
"OH GROSS!" Chloe shouted pointing and jumping up and down. "Get that away from her!"
"Alya that was...Jesus." Marinette said as Alya stopped and dropped it from her mouth.
"What?"
"That was scary. Do you try to eat the guys face every time you kiss?"
"That was called passion, something all of you guys need to incorporate if you even want to get a guys attention."
"That was called eating a pillow. We don't want Chloe to eat a pillow on her date we want her to kiss him with passion if it is called for." Alix said grabbing the pillow. It was nearly the size of her, she frowned using both hands to keep it up. It was very light and sift, like an enormous feather.
"Watch and learn idiots." Alix spun once, angled it downwards as if she were dipping the pillow like a dance partner and angled her head to take the corner into her mouth, no teeth and began to knead it softly and gently. There were occasional smacking sounds as she got a better grip with her mouth. After a minute of everyone watching their shorter classmate Sabrina finally cleared her throat.
"Well it's obvious that you've practiced on a lot of pillows. Unsurprising as they're probably the only action you'll ever get." Chloe said brushing her hair over her shoulder.
"It sounded a little...wet." Sabrina said as a critique.
"It was perfection and you all know it. Marinette you're up." Alix said pushing the pillow towards the biracial girl. Marinette pointed at herself, her eyes widening before she shook her hands.
"Oh no way. Nuhuh."
"We all had to make fools of ourselves now it's your turn. Do it." Alya said pushing her friend forward. Marinette groaned before taking the pillow from the sides, the only places where it wasn't sticky with her classmates saliva. This could not be sanitary. She saw lipstick from where Chloe kissed it, lip gloss from Sabrina, teeth marks from Alya's attempt and just a lot of spit from Alix. Taking a deep breath Marinette pursed her lips up until they practically jutted out of her face like a duck bill and she stuck her face in the middle of it.
As if she were trying to smother herself. She tried to keep her face clear so that the others could see, but she also wanted to smash it over her face so that none of them could see and make fun of her. She finally stopped after a few seconds, the shortest time of any of them. She smiled anxiously at all of them.
Chloe had one hip out and was studying her nails in boredom. Sabrina was trying to copy Chloe but didn't have the natural snark to pull it off. Alya shook her head and rubbed her forehead.
"Girl."
"What?"
"What are you like five? That was a kiss a five year old would give." Alix said. She began to pace looking at the girls, as if she were a Major drilling a bunch of new cadets.
"That was all very disappointing. Clearly none of you have kissed before, and if you had it was disappointing and disgusting for everyone involved."
"Your one to talk little miss fountain." Chloe said snakily. Alix turned to her and looked in straight in the eye with such an unnerving and steady eye that Chloe had to look away.
"So the only way to get this done right it if we all-"
"I swear to God if you say practice on each other I am kicking you out of my room." Chloe said seriousness oozing from her voice. Alix looked at her in surprise.
"No...why would I say that? Chloe is there something you want to tell us?"
"For the past half hour you've done nothing except say how we should practice on each other!" Chloe shouted getting flustered and red in the face.
"You low I can't tell if Alix is serious or is just doing this to get a rise out of Chloe." Marinette whispered to Alya as the two girls began to argue back and forth.
"I would guess both." Alya responded looking between the two bickering girls.
"Well that took up an entire afternoon I am never getting back." Alya said to Marinette as the two best friends walked out of the hotel. After many hours of practicing kissing on pillows, pointing out each others flaws, going through Chloe's closet to find something to wear, Alya pressing a button that opened up a secret closet in the back with a Ladybug suit in it, and everyone being very uncomfortable, they had made minimal progress.
And on top of all of her so called 'training' Chloe had fought them tooth and nail to insist that she was perfection at dating, kissing, dressing and everything in between, hardly taking any of their advice unless it was forced down her throat.
So in the end it felt as if nothing was accomplished besides making everyone resent Chloe all the more by the end.
"Why did we agree to do this again?" Marinette said to her friend.
"We did because if Alix was on her own someone is going to end up stabbed with an adrenaline shot." Alya responded, the two almost hugged once they got back to the Dupain-Cheng bakery, instead they stood awkwardly and strode off, Alix's words still ringing in their heads.
"Those insufferable little brats!" Chloe shouted as she flung the pillow down the garbage chute. Sabrina frowned as the pillow disappeared. It was a nice one, she had slept on them once or twice whenever Chloe and her had a sleepover, she thought it could have been salvaged, but of course Chloe complained that they were completely contaminated by their 'germs.'
"I invite them into my home and all they do is complain and say that I am inferior to them! The nerve!"
"You are so right Chloe." Sabrina had to remind herself that this was for her friend own good. She had seen Chloe when she had a goal, and someone to be nice to. She became much more civil, and even toned down on her anger problems. It was for the best if she went through all of this...if it meant even the slightest possibility of Chloe Bourgeois getting a good boyfriend out of it...then by gum Sabrina would help her friend get a significant other!
Even if it meant that there was going to be something going wrong very soon. Tomorrow probably when they took the flirting techniques to school.
