Morning had sprung and Nathalie was getting Gabriel ready for a very important event - careers day at Collège Françoise Dupont.
"Sir, are you sure this is a good idea?" Nathalie asked worriedly.
"Yes, this is a good opportunity for me to see this Nathaniel boy's parents," Gabriel smirked.
Suddenly, the door opened and there stood Adrien fiddling with his necklace nervously. "Ready, papa?"
Gabriel looked at his youngest child and smiled reassuringly at him. "You didn't force me to come with you, and to be fair, I haven't seen much of your teachers, only your principal. So no need to be nervous mon petit."
Adrien smiled at Gabriel and then took hold of his father's hands and Felix's once he entered the foyer. They got into the car to travel to the school.
=^._.^= ∫
When the Agreste family arrived at the school (a little late, due to some idiots on the road), they met one Mr. Tom Dupain.
"My day begins at 4 a.m. every morning because the bakery opens at 7. You would think that the life of a baker is pretty routine, making the same pastries, rolls, cakes... but actually, it's different every day. One day someone might order a cake in the shape of the Eiffel Tower, and another day you might-" Tom explained to Gabriel and Felix's boredom and Adrien's interest.
"Marinette will come around and pass out some croissants baked fresh this morning," Tom said as he pointed at his daughter.
"Thank you, Mr Dupain. Now, let's meet Alya's mom, who is head chef at the Grand Paris hotel, owned by our mayor, Mr Bourgeois." Miss Bustier.
On Marinette's rounds, she smiled happily at Adrien. She was excited as she knew that his model career would end later than most, giving him more time to model. However, she smiled sadly at Felix as he looked disinterested. As Marinette was making the rounds, Chloé opened a case with a bracelet inside.
Sabrina looked at the bracelet and immediately grabbed it, "It's beautiful!"
Chloé then promptly slapped Sabrina's hand. "Don't touch it!"
Whilst this was happening, Gabriel whispered in Felix's ear, "Remind me why I sent you two to this school?"
"Because you wanted me to learn the 'commoner' life, and also Adrien wanted to go to school just like his big brother," Felix whispered back.
Gabriel hummed in thought.
"Put it away, Chloé! It could get in the wrong hands!" Mr Bourgeois attempted to scold his daughter
"I wonder how many croissants your dad would have to sell to buy you one of these? What am I saying? He'd have to sell the whole store!" Chloé taunted Marinette as she noticed her passing out the croissants.
"Well, if you're so rich, obviously you don't need free croissants!" Marinette said as she left the table but not without smirking as she could hear a poor comeback from Chloé.
Meanwhile, Plagg was having a slight conundrum himself. "Is that Camembert?" Plagg asked himself as flew from Felix's bag to Chloé's. "Huh? Oh, that's not Camembert... but it is very shiny. I like shiny, hmm!"
In the world outside of kwamis… "Unfortunately, I have no dishes to share. But maybe Mr Bourgeois will invite you all to the hotel and treat you to lunch!" Alya's mum said while looking at her boss, with a glare that could rival Gabriel's
The said boss nodded while sweating nervously at his employee's glare and sighed in relief when the glare melted away. While the students were applauding, a policeman named Roger started laughing.
Unfortunately, Plagg caused Marinette to slip (as he landed on his head after continuing playing with the bracelet)
"Marinette, are you okay?" Adrien asked as he left his chair while helping the girl up, not knowing that Gabriel was staring at her intently.
Before Marinette could answer, however, Gabriel swiftly put Adrien back in his chair and stood in front of said chair protectively.
"Next on the list is Sabrina's father, a policeman. Please welcome Officer Roger!" Miss Bustier said quickly to diffuse the attention and stop Gabriel from glaring at the students and herself.
The students started applauding, although with more confusion than anything else. With a quick glare from his brother and father, Adrien didn't even bother clapping.
"I've been a police officer for 15 years, and I firmly believe that every citizen is innocent until proven guilty." As soon Officer Roger said this, the drama queen of the class exclaimed. "My bracelet! It's gone! I had it a second ago." She then looks at Marinette "You! You stole it!"
"What? What are you talking about?!" Marinette asked confusedly.
"You purposely tripped over my bag so you could steal my bracelet!" Chloé then looks at Roger "You're a policeman! Arrest her!"
"My daughter is not a thief!" Tom defended Marinette and glared at the other girl.
Gabriel could only look at the students and parents and without warning, got a massive headache and thought of removing Adrien (and Felix) from the stupidity of the whole thing.
Roger then blew his whistle without warning which caused Gabriel's headache to worsen. "Hold on a minute, Miss Bourgeois, we don't accuse without proof! Now, everyone, calm down, please. Maybe you simply misplaced your bracelet."
"You're calling me a liar?! Daddy!" Chloé said in surprise and anger.
"Roger, I demand you search for this girl's bracelet immediately!"
"Ha!"
"Please, everybody!" Miss Bustier pleaded although she was not heard at all.
"Need I remind you that as mayor of this city, I am your superior!" Mr Bourgeois said unkindly towards the policeman.
Before Roger could say anymore, Gabriel decided to speak up.
"I've had enough of this. My children don't need to see this debacle. They came to school for their education, not some soap opera that is poorly made!" Gabriel then noticed that Felix's friend was recording the whole thing. "This boy hasn't stopped recording since I've entered the classroom, maybe there is something on there." Gabriel then gently moved Adrien from his seat and said. "I'm going back home with Adrien and until this issue is resolved he will no longer be attending school." Gabriel suddenly looked at Felix. "If you like you can go home with me or stay for the whole day."
Felix looked at the drama gleefully and then looked at his father and replied. "I'll stay here and see the drama unfold." Gabriel nodded and left the classroom with a very reluctant Adrien, but not without giving his secretary's number to Nathaniel's parents.

As soon as Adrien and Gabriel arrived at the mansion, Adrien was instantly sent to his room (as according to Gabriel he had had too much excitement and needed rest) and went down to his lair and transformed into his evil alter-ego Hawkmoth.
=^._.^= ∫
At the exact moment, Mr Bourgeois and Tom were seen shouting at each other while the students were looking at the two adults in interest (mostly Felix).
Nathaniel then looked at the adults and said, "Let's do what my Mr Agreste said and look through Nino's video. Maybe we can find something because I for one would like to see my significant other outside of the mansion or photo shoots."
The adults looked at the upcoming artist in shock (while Felix smiled at the artist with pride until he felt something hit his ankle and swiftly noticed that it was the missing bracelet on top of his head and rapidly left the room quietly) not noticing that a new drama was going down.
=^._.^= ∫
Ms Mendeleiev threw a piece of litter into the bin but missed so the litter landed on the floor which caused Rogercop to grab the litter. He then flew to where Ms Mendeleiev was.
"You're under arrest!" Rogercop shouted at the poor science teacher.
"What? What for?" Ms Mendeleiev asked in confusion and horror.
"You threw litter on a public sidewalk, jaywalked and crossed the red light," Rogercop said robotically. The police whistle was still around his neck. His skin was quite pale, and a hollow, light blue triangle pointing downwards was at the centre of his chest. His helmet sported a light blue line above a light blue shield in front of his eyes. His left shoulder and right shoulder wore blinking red and blue police lights, respectively.
"Well, I suppose I did. But you can't arrest me! Who are you anyway? You don't look like a policeman!"
Rogercop then threw cuffs at the science teacher "I sentence you to trash duty." He then blew his whistle which controlled the handcuffs and made Ms Mendeleiev robotically throw the litter in the trash can.
"Next mission: Seeking justice on Mayor Bourgeois."
=^._.^= ∫
Meanwhile back at the school, Felix was seen lecturing Plagg (who was still wearing the bracelet). "Never do that again! Do you know the troubles you caused!"
"I thought it was Camembert," Plagg said. "And besides I think the bracelet suits my rock-hard abs."
"Well, clearly it isn't Camembert" Felix groaned and swiftly thought of something else, "and Plagg you do not have abs." Felix then stopped as he heard footsteps and looked down and saw it was Rogercop.
"Great, great, just great, thanks to you Plagg, we have now to fight against an akumatized policeman. You've made another one of your dumb decisions."
"Sorry, Felix," Plagg said, remorsefully.
"I know, now let's try and get this bracelet off you, and fix everything."
Plagg nodded while Felix began looking through his locker for anything that could help. Meanwhile, Rogercop had caused one of the parents to run laps around the gymnasium.
=^._.^= ∫
Simultaneously, back at the mansion, Adrien was seen lying down on his bed with a look of boredom on his face. He was texting Nathaniel who was giving him updates regarding the situation of the missing bracelet.
=^._.^= ∫
"See, Chloé? I tripped on the bag, but Sabrina held the bracelet, we are all suspects!" Marinette said (while trying and failing to be diplomatic).
"But, what about Mr Agreste, isn't he like in most of the video?" One of the students asked.
"To be fair, I wanted to film Adrien and Felix, but I think Mr Agreste knew what I was doing or that he wanted Adrien to not see. You can never know with that dude." Nino said in Mr Agreste's defence.
"And let's remember Mr Agreste is a fashion designer. If he wants to he can design any jewellery that he or the twins need or want," Alya said.
And once again, Marinette opened her big mouth and caused the situation to be five times worse than it was until Rogercop entered the classroom uninvited. He asked the students, parents and teacher where the mayor was. They all denied that they knew where he was until a voice spoke up. Recognising the voice, everyone groaned.
"Mr Principal, "I demand that you find who stole my daughter's bracelet ASAP! Or your job is on the line, sir…!"
Marinette then quietly left the room and jokingly said to Tikki "Who knew that our mayor could shout like that."
Tikki then glared at her holder and sternly said. "No time for jokes, we're going to make things right. Now transform!"
Marinette smiled nervously at Tikki and shouted "Tikki, spots on!"
At the same time in the locker room, Felix had managed to get Plagg out of the bracelet with some help from pepper and Camembert cheese. Knowing he had no time to waste, he quickly transformed into Chat Noir.
=^._.^= ∫
It wasn't until late at night that everything went back to normal with a slight hiccup from the usual lucky charm item, Chat Noir's antics and Rogercop firing his handcuffs all over the place.
=^._.^= ∫
The next day, the twins were seen together and with happy smiles on their faces as Adrien was allowed to go back to school after Gabriel received a call from the mayor telling him about where the bracelet was all along. All's well that ends well as Roger got promoted to lieutenant and Nathaniel's parents were coming over for dinner over the weekend.
