Ahhhhhhhh school is over! That was like..the most boring first day back at school ever. My friends think differently lol.
So today my PE teacher was asking us random questions (yes i know so creepy..) and she asked us Dogs or Cats? And I answered, "Chats. Oops I mean cats. Especially black ones." And one of my friends understood my reference and they were like-

Chapter 39: Animan part 1
Scene: Collège Françoise Dupont courtyard.
Marinette: (reading a magazine) "Leo: Your heart's gonna roar". (turns the page and sees pictures of Adrien in both pages) Wow, roar!
"You really are obsessed," Adrien teased.
(Marinette and Alya giggle. Across the courtyard, Nino is spying on them.)
Nino groaned. "Forget this ever happened, please!"
Alya raised her eyebrows.
Adrien: (appears behind and teases Nino) FYI, Marinette's never going to fall in love with a statue.
At this, Adrien smirked at Marinette and she blushed furiously.
"What?" asked Alya, confused.
"Never gonna fall in love with a statue..guess I was wrong!" Adrien playfully told Marinette.
"Oh, shut up.."
"From what I recall, I remember you saying- "Entwined for eternity-"
"SHUT UP!" Marinette interrupted. "Everyone doesn't need to know!"
Alya jumped up. "Oooo, a secret! Scoop! Tell me, tell me!"
"Yeah, I wanna know too!" Nino added.
"Me too!" said Kim.
"Me three!" Rose squealed.
Marinette blushed harder. "Nothing."
"The point is, Marinette has fallen in love with a statue!" Adrien laughed, causing Marinette to bury her face in her hands and groan. "But..I won't expand on it."
(Nino pulls Adrien so they can hide.)
Nino: Shhh! You know I'm no good with the ladies, especially this one all of a sudden. I mean, dude, do I go up to her and crack her a joke? Shoot her a compliment? Invite her to the zoo? Play it serious?
Marinette turned pink. "Right.."
"Ah, this is awkward," Nino sighed. "I hope this doesn't have to be awkward between us, dudette."
Marinette smiled. "Of course not. It's all the past. We're good."
Alya laughed. "I almost forgot there was a time when my boyfriend had a crush on my BFF."
"And I almost forgot too," Adrien added. "But now..we're all good."
Kim laughed. "This must be weird to watch for the four of you."
Marinette nodded. "Yeah."
"Very," Alya agreed.
Adrien: Nino, you're way over-thinking this. "Invite her to the zoo", you serious?
"That's what we ended up doing," Nini pointed out.
Nino: Well, they have this really cool new exhibit there.
Adrien: Listen, just be yourself, man.
Nino: That's easy for you to say, Mr. Front-of-the-cover-Teen-Model-weekly. I'm not that cool.
Alix snorted. "Well, yeah Nino's right. Adrien shouldn't have any problem with the girls.."
"After all, he is Mr Super Hot Teen Model Sunshine Boy," Alya added.
Adrien turned red. "Oh, be quiet. You know that I don't ask for all the attention.."
"Yeah, but you still have thousands of fangirls that chase you around the city," Marinette reminded him. "I even had to rescue you from getting trampled by your fans last year...we even went to the movies. Remember?"
Adrien laughed. "Oh yeah!"
Adrien: You're cool too, dude, trust me — or you wouldn't be my best bud. Invite her to the zoo. She'll say "yes", I promise.
"I'm not too sure about that.."
Nino: (begins having confidence; he starts walking over to Marinette and Alya. But he panics at the last minute and runs back to Adrien) What if I act like a moronosaurus, or she disses me or thinks I'm lame or—?
Marinette laughed. "I would never think you're lame, Nino."
Alya looked at Adrien sympathetically. "So I'm not the only one who goes through this."
"Nope," Adrien high fived her. "I go through the trouble of having a best friend that has meltdowns over crushes too.."
Alya smiled. "How is it even hard for them?"
"I know right!" Adrien exclaimed. "I feel you."
Marinette coughed. "We're still here, ya know."
"Yeah," said Nino. "Oh and by the way..you say dorkasaurus. I say moronosaures."
Marinette laughed. "Yeah, i noticed. You know, when it comes to feelings, we both are nervous wrecks."
"Agreed!" said Alya.
Adrien: Okay, I got your back. (Adrien and Nino fist-bump)
"See, this is exactly how my friendship with Marinette is," Alya laughed.
Scene: Outside Collège Françoise Dupont. Alya and Marinette are walking out of the Collège, while Adrien and Nino are hiding behind a banister.
(Adrien signals Nino and they come out of hiding.)
Marinette: (holding the magazine in front of her) Oh, he's such a—
Alya: Smartie, hottie, suavísimo, yummy-tastic spellbinder!
"Yummy tastic? But..how do you know that?"
"Unless you want to get punched in the face again, I advise that you shut up, Kitty."
"Okay, okay!"
Marinette: All of the above. (bumps into Nino) Huh?
(Nino stands very still in front of her.)
Adrien: (appears behind Nino) Oh, so sorry. (nudges Nino) Right, Nino?
Nino: Sorry.
"Ohhh, this is SO relatable!" Marinette groaned.
Marinette: (giggles and looks down to see the magazine pages with pictures of Adrien) Ahh!
(Marinette bends down to pick up the magazine before Adrien sees it, but he walks over to pick it up for her. They end up bumping into each other by their foreheads.)
Marinette and Adrien: Sorry. (Marinette grabs the magazine away)
Kim snorted. "Good thing Nino didn't see the magazine."
Adrien: Sorry about that. How could we make it up to you? Any ideas...Nino? (Nino doesn't answer) How about we all check out the...zoo today? Word is they've got a new... (snaps his fingers in front of Nino)
Nino: Uh, they-they got a new panther.
Alya smiled and shook her head. "Adrien and I should pity each other."
"Agreed," Adrien laughed.
"Hey!" Nino and Marinette scowled in unison.
Alya: Awesome idea, right, Marinette? You love animals.
Marinette: Uh, yeah. I, uh, I'm really into zoonimals. I mean, uh, anizools. I mean zoonimoos. I... (sighs)
"Animals," Adrien advised.
"Well, I know now!"
Adrien: Cool. Say, after school, four o'clock? (looks at Nino) Nino, sound good? (Nino nods nervously) Cool, four o'clock then.
Marinette: Four! (Adrien nods before he pulls Nino and walks away) Four o'clock. (lovestruck) Yeah...
Alya: Uh, Earth to Marinette? You do realize the guy you're completely crazy about has just asked you out, right?
Marinette burst out laughing. "You know what's stupid about this? Nino was the one asking me out but I didn't know that. Adrien was the one I was in love with but he didn't know that. It's probably a good thing I didn't tell Nino I liked Adrien..he would have been heartbroken."
Marinette: Yeah... (panic) Huh, wait, what?! No, not like this! Not here, not today! I haven't washed my hair! I'm not wearing my lucky socks! Fine! Help me, Alya! I can't do this alone! (holds onto Alya, while the latter pats her head)
"Are you wearing your lucky socks now?" Adrien teased.
"Of course," Marinette told him. "If I wasn't I would still be just a friend to you."
Adrien laughed. "Right.."
Scene: Seine riverbank. Nino and Adrien are sitting on a bench.
Nino: How did you do that, dude?
Adrien: Like I said: "Just be yourself".
Marinette shook her head. "How do you two do that?"
"Easy," said Adrien. "You walk up to the person, don't hesitate for a second-"
"Spill out whatever is in your mind before you can think about it, and act like you're not internally screaming," Alya finished.
Nino blinked. "Woah."
Alix laughed. "I find it pretty simple actually. Just be yourself and be cool."
Nino: Right, sure. If I could be yourself; myself don't work that way.
Adrien: (sips from a can) You're being ridiculous. Of course you can. And when you're alone with Marinette at the zoo later on— (tosses his can in the trash)
"Ohhh, so now we're flexing!"
Nino: Whoa, what do you mean alone with Marinette? Oh no, dude. You're coming with me. You can't leave me alone by myself. Uh-uh.
Adrien: (sighs) No prob, Nino. What are friends for? (Adrien and Nino fist-bump again)
"I'm getting a feeling he's not coming.."
Scene: The Zoo. Marinette turns on a speaker in her left ear.
Alya: (from the earpiece) One, two, one, two, testing. D'you read me, girl?
Adrien's eyes widened. "You were coaching her through an earpiece too?"
Alya laughed. "You were too, weren't you? This is too ironic."
Marinette: I can hear you. But I still don't think I can go through with this.
(View pans to Alya hiding behinds two trees.)
Alya: 'Course you can. Just be yourself!
Marinette: Remember the last time I did that? (Flashback to the school's locker rooms.)
Alya: Just be yourself, Marinette.
(Determined, Marinette walks away and opens a door to a room. She sees Adrien washing his hands. Happy to see him, she stands besides the door. But a boy scares her, making her realize that she's accidentally walked into the boys' bathroom.)
Boys: Hey! What're you doing in here? Get out! (Adrien and Kim are surprised to see Marinette as she leaps out the room, closing the door. Someone throws a roll of toilet paper at the door) Get out! Boys' room! (Kim and Adrien stand there, confused. Flashback ends)
Kim smiled. "I remember that."
"Yeah, it was embarrassing," Marinette mumbled.
Alya: Fine, just be yourself and look where you're going.
Marinette: Oh, where are you, love of my life?
Tikki: How's Adrien supposed to be the love of your life if you can't even talk to him?
"That," said Alix. "Is a good point."
Marinette: (determined) Tikki, stay out of sight. I'm gonna talk to him, you'll see. I will speak to him!
"Too bad he's not coming," Chloe smirked.
Alya: That's right, girl! Way to be motivated!
Marinette: Yeah (giggles, and looks to her right and sees someone) Ah, there they are!
(Turns out it's Max and Kim. Max waves at Marinette.)
Kim: (arm raised in salutation) Hey, Marinette!
Marinette: (sighs) False alarm. (to Max and Kim) Hey, Kim, Max; what are you doing here?
Kim: We heard the new panther's here. I wanna see who's get the bigger guns! (strikes a series of muscle poses)
Max: Do you want to come with us?
Alya: (from the earpiece) Marinette, target at ten o'clock!
Marinette: NO! (Max and Kim stand there, confused) Aha, I mean, uh, thanks but...no thanks. I'm waiting for someone. Uh, you go ahead.
Kim: 'Kay, maybe we'll see you later, then. (Kim and Max walk away)
Marinette: Yeah, later! (looks for Adrien, but she only sees Nino. He smiles nervously while waving and walking towards her. Marinette speaks to Alya) Where's Adrien?
Alya: (from the earpiece) I don't know.
Marinette: Uh, hey, Nino! (looks behind him) Uh, isn't Adrien with you?
"Rude," Nino scoffed.
Marinette giggled. "Sorry.."
(Nino shrugs nervously. View pans to Adrien is hiding behind the bushes in front of a zoo sign then he pops up from hiding behind the bushes.)
Adrien: Tell her you'll both be better off without me.
Alya looked amused. "Seriously? Obviously, he's going to say it about himself...Marinette does stuff like that all the time."
(It turns out Nino and Adrien have an earpiece set-up as well.)
Nino: We'll be better off without me.
Alya grinned. "Told ya."
Marinette: (confused) Huh?
Plagg: (pops out of Adrien's hair, and the latter tries to shush him) Ah, this trip is turning out to be a lot more interesting than I thought. Turn up the volume! (Adrien sighs)
"Plagg!"
Nino: Uh, without him. I mean, we don't need Adrien to hang out at the zoo.
"Rude," Adrien pretended to be offended.
Nino shrugged. "Hey, you told me to say that."
Alya: (reacting, from the earpiece) Of course we do, you dumbo!
Marinette: Of course we do, you dumb—oh I mean, wasn't he supposed to come? Don't you wanna wait for him?
The class roared in laughter at the exchange.
Adrien: (from the earpiece) Tell her you want to be alone with her.
Nino: (whispers to Adrien) Not yet!
Marinette: What was that?
Nino: (to Marinette) You're right; we'll wait.
"This is hilarious. You're both clueless."
Adrien: (from the earpiece) No! What are you talking about? Don't wait for me; I'm not coming!
(Nino stands there, still very nervous.)
"This is so funny to watch," Alix laughed and leaned back in her chair.
Scene: Otis is feeding a panther.
Otis: Look what Daddy's brought you. Only the finest for my baby.
Kim: Whoa! Look at the size of that piece of meat it's eating!
Max: Typical diet for a feline species requiring the strength to run at speeds in excess of 60 miles per hour.
"Wow, that's fast!"
Kim: 60 miles per hour? Is that all? I thought panthers were much faster than that. I bet that I could beat it
in a race.
"Seriously?" Chloe scoffed. "You'd be more like panther food by the time you're done."
Kim blushed.
Otis: Impossible. No human being could compete with my panther.
Kim: Is that so? What place did your cat come in at the County Athletics Tournament? I came in first place.
"Oh come on, Kim. You can't compare yourself to a panther," Ivan reasoned.
"I know," said Kim. "I guess I was too overconfident."
Otis: You can't possibly compare yourself to my panther, kiddo!
Kim: No need to. I'm obviously the better looking one.
"Kim!"
(The panther growls)
Kim: Hey, kitty, kitty. How about a little race with me, huh? Last one's a rotten egg!
Max: Let's see. With a 6 feet-per-second win behind you and 45 degrees to the north-east... I don't think you'd be a rotten egg. You'd be lunch.
Otis: Your friend's right, kiddo. Now please leave. She needs peace and quiet while she eats. You're stressing her out.
Kim: Awww, stressed out, are we, Miss Panthie? You're talking about a wild animal, dude. (The panther roars)
Otis: Leave now! Or I'll have you kicked out of the zoo immediately!
Kim: Come on, Max. Let's leave that poor widdle kitty alone with its angwy babysitter! Ha ha ha!
"Kim!" said Rose. "That's so mean!"
Marinette frowned. "Yeah, that's really rude, you shouldn't say those things."
Kim sighed. "I know, I know. I won't do it ever again because I realized how mean that was."
Scene: Hawk Moth's lair.
Hawk Moth: (His window opens) Unleashing the animal in each of us. I like that idea. (Turns a butterfly into an akuma) Go ahead, my little evil akuma, fly off and take control of that zookeeper!
Scene: Marinette and Nino are sitting at a picnic table waiting for Adrien.
Marinette: You sure taking us time, huh? He's not coming, is he?
Adrien: (from the earpiece) Repeat after me. Yes he is, but first I wanted to take this opportunity to…
"Adrien is so annoyed at this point," Tikki giggled.
Nino: Yes he is, but first I wanted to take this opportunity to...
Adrien: (from the earpiece) Tell you that I love you, Marinette.
"You said it!" Marinette grinned.
"Well, not technically."
"Yes, but you need to say it now."
"Fine. I love you, Marinette."
"That's a good kitty.."
Nino: Tell you that I- Gahhh... I... Love a girl that I don't know how to tell her!
Everybody groaned.
"Seriously, WHY is this happening to me?" Alya groaned.
"Me too," Adrien sighed. "That was so irritating."
Nino blushed. "Oops.."
Adrien: Hey, what are you doing?
Marinette: You do? Well, I can help you with that.
"This keeps getting more ironic."
Nino: You could?
Alya: (from the earpiece) You, giving expert advise on how to tell someone you love them? Can't wait to hear this one!
"I agree with her!" Alix laughed.
"Don't rub it in," Marinette grumbled.
Marinette:(mocking Alya)"Can't wait to hear this one..."
Nino: What?
Marinette: Uhh... Can't wait to hear... about this lucky girl!
"Nice way to cover it up!"
Nino: Oh, yeah...
Adrien: (from the earpiece) Tell her it's you!
Nino: It's youuu...ur best friend Alya!
"Say WHAT?" A bunch of people laughed together.
"This is so messed up!" Alya laughed. "But that was like the best day ever."
"And don't forget it was partially because of me!" Marinette said playfully.
Adrien, Alya and Marinette: What?!
Marinette: Alya? Awesome!
Alya: No! No! It's not awesome!
Marinette: (from the earpiece) I can fix up a date for you guys!
Everyone burst into laughter.
Alya scowled. "I still haven't completely forgiven your or that."
"I know, I know.."
Alya: Say what?! Seriously?! (calls Nino from the earpiece) You didn't even ask me first! (calls Marinette back from the earpiece) Uh-uh! Nino's like... a brother to me! Bleugh! No! End of discussion!
"You used to think like that?" Nino laughed.
Alya shoved him. "Well, it doesn't matter now anyways."
Marinette: He's gonna be so sad if you don't.
Nino: Did you say something?
Marinette: I said... It'd be so sad if you didn't tell her!
Alya: Grrr!
"This time she really will kill you, unlike in the Mime," Adrien laughed.
