Sabine lifts up the hatch door to Marinette's room. The Impossible Kittens were rehearsing at the Dupain-Cheng bakery today. Adrien and Kagami sat on her trunk, cheering as each song flowed around Paris. Marinette was behind the band, sitting at her desk, scribbling onto a piece of paper. "Hey honey, so sorry to interrupt. A letter came for you." The short young woman scooted behind the group of sophomores and handed it to her blue haired daughter. "Thanks mom!" Marinette glanced down at the envelope. She gasped, when seeing the handwritten writing on the pale paper. "It's from the Miracle contest!" She yelled, attracting attention from everyone in the room. "Read it. I'm sure you did great!" Adrien smiles, installing enough confidence in Marinette to open the envelope and take out the letter contained inside. "No matter what they said about your designs, we think you're a great designer!" Alya cheered. The rest of the group chattered as well, along the lines of "You go, girl!" and "You got this!". She took a shaky breath and began to read. "To Marinette Dupain Cheng, thank you for your entry! We appreciate all entires. As you know, the winning prize receives a month long trip across the UK, and then the US. Because your entry fit exactly what our anonymous judges were looking for-" Her voice cracked. She blinked, trying to hold back tears. "You got this Marinette!" Rose cheered her friend on. The bluenette took another deep breathe, feeling more and more confident. "Because your entry fit exactly what our anonymous judges were looking for, you have been chosen as one of the 3 winners from Paris." Cheers erupted. "I knew you could do it!"
