Chloe and Sabrina were in her room at Le Grand Paris.

"Nothing makes sense." Chloe complained to Sabrina. "How did Adrien know I was lying?"

"I don't know Chloe." Sabrina answered. "You've asked me that a hundred times already." She shrugged. "Maybe he wrote a poem to someone else and that letter was the response?"

"I thought Adrien wasn't really in love with anyone though." Chloe said. "Although now that you mention it, I remember Marinette digging through the trash can and pulling out a piece of paper. Maybe it was Adrien's poem!"

"You think that is the case?" Sabrina asked.

"Well, it is certainly possible." Chloe answered. "I've noticed that Adrien seems to be more friendly towards her lately. Have you noticed anything?"

"Hmm... Well, sometime after my father had been fired, and later akumatized, Adrien disappeared while the adults were arguing. Sometime after Rogercop appeared, Marinette disappeared as well." Sabrina asked.

"Really?" Chloe asked. "Now that I hadn't noticed." She looked at a poster of Marinette with several darts in it. "If Adrien and Marinette are absent from class part of the time, it's likely that they're doing something together." She threw another dart at Marinette's poster, hitting her left shoulder. "Now if this is the case, what are they doing?"

"I'm not sure." Sabrina answered.

"Well, whatever they're up to, I'm gonna find out what it is." Chloe said. She threw another dart at the poster, hitting Marinette in the heart.

Meanwhile Adrien and Marinette were in the park. Adrien decided to confide in Marinette and tell her how she became friends with Chloe in the first place. Despite having not been allowed to leave the house for most of his life, Adrien and his parents were at a sunny beach down in Normandy. Prado Beaches to be exact. He was about five years old, and Gabriel was helping him build a sandcastle. Gabriel's phone rang and he left. Adrien heard the waves crash, and he saw a young girl about his age with loose blond hair and ocean blue eyes. She wore a yellow swimsuit, and blinked at Adrien. This girl was Chloe. She noticed Adrien and walked up to him with her hands enclosed.

"Uh, hello." he said.

"I have something for you." she said. She opened her hands and revealed a seashell in her hands.

"Um, thanks... Ms..."

"Bourgeious. Chloe Bourgeious." she said.

"Adrien Agreste." he said. "Nice to meet you."

The two continued having fun on the beach until sunset, when Chloe's father had to take her back home for the day.

"I've been friends with her ever since then. She's been really nice to me, and she's been there when no one else was. Until I met Nino, Chloe was my best and only friend." Adrien explained. "How can I throw her under the bus?"

"I never asked you to stop being friends with her." Marinette said. "I was just..."

Suddenly Marinette's phone started ringing with the instrumental tune of It's Ladybug. She looked at the caller ID. It was Alya.

"Is your phone ringing?" Adrien asked.

"Yeah. Do you mind if...?" Marinette started to ask.

"It's alright. Answer it." Adrien said. Marinette answered it.

"Hello?" she said.

"Hey girl, where have you been?" Alya asked.

"I've been here at the park, talking to Adrien." Marinette answered. "Why do you ask?"

"Really? And how has that been working out?" Alya asked.

"Everything's fine." Marinette said. "And what have you been up to?"

"Creating flyers with Nino for the school's talent show." Alya answered. "It's Friday evening, auditions are on Wednesday."

"Really? That soon?" Marinette asked.

"Yeah, girl. Have you not been keeping up with school news?" Alya asked.

"I guess not." Marinette said.

"I gotta go. Good luck with Adrien." Alya said.

"Bye!" Marinette said, before hanging up.

"What was that all about?" Adrien asked.

"Alya's working flyers for a talent show." Marinette answered.

"Really? I had no idea." Adrien said.

"Maybe you could enter. I did once remember hearing Nino say that you play the piano." Marinette said.

"That is true. Although how would I get a piano on and off the stage?" Adrien asked.

"I'd be willing to assist you." Marinette said.

"Really?" Adrien asked. "That's great."
