Hello there,
Welcome my friends to the next chapter of Miraculous: My Iron Skin.
Hope your going to enjoy it as much as I had writing it and now on to the reviews.
kyrogue23: Oh my!... Your back! I wouldn't be surprised if Alya would come up with a theory like that.
Speckleflower: Thank you.
And now on to the story.
During lunch time at College Françoise Dupont, the usual boys of Travis, Adrien, Nino and Nathaniel were sitting at a table in the cafeteria. As usual Nino was staring towards the table were Marinette and Alya were sitting. While Nathaniel was drawing in his sketchbook, occasionally looking up in the same direction Nino was looking.
"Okay, serious talk guys." Travis said, looking concerned at the others, "Is Alya still staring holes in the back of my head?"
"She is." Adrien said leaning slightly over to get a better look at the two girls, "What did you do to her?"
"I have no idea." he said shaking his head.
"Maybe she has a crush on you." Nathaniel suggested.
"Of course, that must be it!" Travis said, leaning back into his chair, "Who doesn't love me?"
"Chloe." Adrien pointed out.
"And thank whatever God is out there for that." Travis said with a light chuckle.
"Must be nice having the attention of all the girls in the school." Nathaniel mumbled.
"Hey, you got attention from girls as well... At least one." Travis said to his friend, "I have noticed this girl staring at you."
"There is?" he said surprised, "Who?"
"I have no idea what er name is. Slender, average height, messy black hair, jade green eyes, thick eyebrows, a slender face with a pointed chin." Travis said trying to remember the details, before noticing that Nino was unusually quite, "What's up with him?"
"Nino is in love." Adrien said, before turning to their music loving friend, "FYI, Marinette's never going to fall in love with a statue."
"Wait what." Travis and Nathaniel said surprised at the same time as they turn with wide eyes to Adrien.
"You two didn't know Nino likes Marinette?" Adrien said surprised.
"No." Nathaniel said a bit annoyed.
"First I ever heard of it." Travis said turning to Nino, "So your going to ask her out?"
"What no!" Nino said shocked, "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?"
"You're way overthinking this." Adrien said.
"Take her to the zoo?" Nathaniel said, "Seriously?"
"Who even does that?" Travis said, "Is that a cultural thing that is going over my head?"
"Well..." Nino mumbled irritated, "They have this really cool new exhibit there!"
"Listen, just be yourself and go ask her." Travis advised him, "Girls like confidence."
"That's easy for you to say, Mr. British Stud." Nino said, looking down to his plate, "I'm not that cool."
"You're cool too, dude, trust me." Adrien assured him, "Or you wouldn't be my best bud."
"I feel betrayed Adrien, like you just stabbed me in the back with a knife." Travis said offended, "I thought I was your best mate."
"But, wasn't I your best friend?" Nathaniel said to the brunette.
"I only have best friends." the brunette said quickly, "But I think I can use my British Studness for good... Well not universal good, but in the help a friend kind of good."
He began to walk away from the rest of the boys and towards where Marinette and Alya where sitting.
Marinette was holding the magazine in front of her, "Oh, he's such a..." she mumbled.
"Smartie, hottie, suavísimo, yummytastic spellbinder!" Alya finished for her.
"All of the above." she said dreamily.
"Are we talking about me?" Travis said suddenly, startling Marinette much to the amusement of Alya.
Marinette bends down to pick up the magazine before Travis could see what she was reading.
"Anyway, are you girls available this Saturday?" Travis began, "Me, Adrien, Nino and Nath are going to visit the zoo... I have it on good authority that there is a... smashing new panther. And I wondered if you girls would like to come along?"
"Awesome idea." Alya said, turning to her friend, "Right, Marinette? You love animals."
"What? Yeah. I, uh, I'm really into zoonimals." Marinette said, stumbling over her words, "I mean, uh, anizools. I mean zoonimoos. I..."
"Cool." Travis said with his thumbs up, walking backwards towards the guys, "I will text the meet up time this evening."
"Text..." Marinette said lovestruck, "Yeah..."
"And that is how you do it." Travis said smug with himself, sitting back down into his chair, picking up his can and taking a swing from it.
"How did you do that, dude?" Nino said impressed.
"Like I said, confidence." he said, pointing with his index finger towards Nino.
"Sure... If only I could be so confident." Nino said, "Confidence doesn't work so great for me."
"Of course you can." Adrien said taking a sip from his can, "And when we get to the zoo..."
"Yeah, about that." Nathaniel said, "Wouldn't it be weird with four guys and two girls go to the zoo."
"...Good point. We need at least one more girl to even out the odds." Travis said, looking around the cafeteria, "And I just found the two girls who could do just that."
After school was over, Juleka and Rose had gathered their thing and where making their way towards the exit from the school.
"Juleka! Rose!" Travis called out to them as he run up to them, "Can I talk to you two for a quick second?"
"Of course Travis." Rose said with a bright smile as Juleka retreated into her shy shell.
"Do you girls have any plans this weekend?" Travis said, "Me, Adrien, Nino, Nath, Mari and Alya are going to visit the zoo this Saturday, and I thought you two might be interested to come along?"
"I would love to, but on Saturday I have meetings of the scrapbooking club." Rose said sadly before perking right back up, "And you know how much I love all those stickers, colorful scraps of papers, and gluing!"
"Oh, that's a shame." Travis said a bit disappointed.
"But Juleka would love to go." Rose said quickly, turning to her taller friend, "Right Juleka?"
"I-I would?" Juleka mumbled shyly as she avoided eye contact with the British brunette, "I-I mean... Y-Yeah... I would, uhm, like to go to the zoo with you."
"That's cool, Juleka." Travis said with a kind smile, "I will text you the details later." he waved at the two girls before he was off, going towards his after school activity.
It had been a few days at school Travis was sitting on the bench in the courtyard, the usual gang Nathaniel and Nino sitting around him.
"Morning!" Adrien said, walking up to them.
"M-Morning." Travis said from behind his hand, to hide the yawn escaping his mouth.
"How come you always look so tired?" Nathaniel said.
"I... spend the entire night gaming." Travis lied with another yawn. In truth, he had been up all night working on his Iron Spider suit, as well as the board of theory on who could be Ladybug and Cat Noir.
"Dude, we should game together." Nino said excited, "What console do you play on?"
"PC." Travis said, looking as if he was appalled when Nino assumed him to be a console gamer, "By the by, what are the girls so excited about?"
"Because it's photo day. Where we take class photo's..." Nathaniel said, seeing the surprise on Travis face, "You forgot, didn't you?"
"...Yes." Travis said, rubbing the back of his head as he watched Marinette and Alya standing a few feet away, Marinette looking particularly happy for some reason.
"I'm happy for you that you get a photo of you and your crush." Alya said to her friend, "Because it's a class photo and you're in the same class as him."
Marinette nods eagerly, "Amazing, isn't it?" she said before her eyes widen, "Oh my gosh! What if we're standing in the same row together?"
"Oh girl just smile." Alya advised her, "And whatever happens, don't forget to breathe!"
"...At least you're going to be in the photo." Juleka mumbled sadly.
"No, Juleka, I'm telling you, you're not jinxed!" Rose said to her friend, "This time it's gonna work out, I can feel it, right here!" she pointed to her left chest.
"What's this about being jinxed?" Travis said as he walked up to them, startling Marinette once again.
"Travis..." Marinette said, catching her breath, "We should really put a bell on you or something."
"Oh, and we should get him a pair of cat ears to go along with it." Rose said excited, folding her hands together, "It would look so cute on him!"
"Only if you and Mari scratch my belly, I will purr for you." Travis said with a smile, before turning to Juleka, "You were saying?"
Juleka gave a deep sigh, before she began to speak, "Ever since I was little, every time someone takes a photo of me, something always goes very wrong."
"You're wrong Juleka, you'll see!" Rose said encouragingly.
"Well that's our missions for today." Travis said, "We'll do everything to make sure it goes fine. All you have to do is smile."
At this Juleka gave a shy smile.
"Okay, time to flash your pearly whites, guys! You kids take a seat in the front bench." the photographer said, he gestures for Max, Alix, Rose, Marinette, and Mylene, "Quickly please, I've got sixteen other classes to shoot."
When everyone sits down on the bench, Chloe took that moment to say, "Look Sabrina, they're up front in the baby seats! Go on rugrats, don't forget to take your thumbs out of your mouths!"
"Is sitting in the front row really that big of a deal?" Travis thought observing an annoyed Marinette, "Maybe this is another cultural difference..."
"Well, next row!" the photographer yelled, "...You, you, you and you go stand on the rear bench, please." He points to Nathaniel, Ivan, Alya, Sabrina, and Chloe.
"Wait just one minute! I'm supposed to be in the middle row, right next to Adrien." Chloe said, walking up to her blond friend and seizing his arm, making him look uncomfortable, "Preferably the center. Look, we're the same size!" she waves her hand over Adrien and her head but there was a clear height difference.
"Nah, go stand in the back row, behind the rest." the photographer said.
"How dare you!" Chloe put me behind the rest? Do you know who my father is?"
"Is he a photographer?" he asked.
"No! He's..." Chloe began but she was interrupted.
"Bummer, I could really use an assistant." the photographer said, "Now hurry up and take your place, or I'll put you up front with the babies!"
"Though luck." Travis taunted her with a big smirk as Chloe walked towards the back with an angry strut.
"The rest of you boys, go stand in the middle row."
This included Travis, Adrien, Nino and Kim. With the trio of friends standing in the middle.
"It's no big deal Chloe!" Adrien said over his shoulder to the blonde, "As long as we're all in the same photo, right?"
"Dear lord, your way too pleasant, Adrien." Travis said with a roll of his green eyes.
"I see it as one of my best qualities." Adrien said with a smile.
"Even if it is to people who obviously don't deserve it." he said as the photographer was about to snap the picture.
Travis looked around, feeling someone was missing when he spotted Juleka looks at her mirror in a distance.
"Uhm, sir." the male brunette said, raising his hand, "You forgot about Juleka."
"Oh, sorry, my bad!" the photographer said, "Go stand in the middle row, between that blonde haired boy and the brunette."
"Isn't this nice." Travis whispered to Juleka as she stood next to him, "All eyes will be on you! And we will have broken the jinx..."
"Alright, everybody ready?" the photographer said.
"Of course not! I'm in the wrong spot!" Chloe protested, she jumps down a row and tries to push Juleka out of the way but finding the courage to stand up for herself, Juleka pushes back.
"That's right Juleka." Marinette said encouragingly, "Don't let her push you out of the way!"
"Hey!" Chloe protested annoyed, "Nobody asked you loudmouth!"
"This isn't gym class, you know Chlo!" Adrien said as Chloe tried to push herself next to him.
"Ms. Bourgeois, behave yourself!" Miss Bustier warned her and reluctantly, she returned to her place.
"There, perfect!" the photographer said, ready to snap the photo.
"No! It isn't!" Chloe said, "It's not perfect at all! I'm totally not next to Adrien!"
"Please Chloé, we still have sixteen classes to photograph!" Mr. Damocles told her before turning to the Photographer, "Go ahead Vincent."
"Say spaghetti!" he said about to finally snap the picture but unfortunately the camera's battery is empty, "Oh, I don't believe this! I'm sorry, I have to go and fetch another battery. Nobody move!"
Juleka gasps then looks sadly away, "Can I go to the bathroom?" she said.
"Yes Juleka, but hurry!" Ms. Bustier said.
As the shy goth girl went to the Bathroom, Chloe leans towards Sabrina. "Make sure she doesn't come back!" she whispered as the orange haired girl nod and goes to the bathroom as well.
A few minutes later, Vincent the photographer returned with a fully charged camera. "We're back in business!" Vincent said as Sabrina returned in time to give Chloe a thumbs up.
The blonde girl grins and jumps next to Adrien.
"Hey! What are you doing?" Marinette said when she saw what was happening behind her, "Where's Juleka!"
"How'd she get here?" Adrien said when his blonde friend was standing between him and his brunette friend.
"From the behind row." Travis simply pointed out.
"Who cares?" Chloe said, "At last, I'm in the right spot!"
"I want you to flash your best smiles!" Vincent said, "Because it's the last time we are doing this!"
"Wait!" Marinette jumping up just as the photo was taken, knocking a few people back, which resulted into Chloe's arm releasing Adrien and knocking her into Travis.
He manicured fingers resting against his chest as their face's were inches away from each other.
"Oh dear god, this is now on the class photo." Travis thought, feeling the sensation of throwing up in his mouth upon seeing Chloe so close before pushing her off him.
"Sir, we have to redo the photo!" Travis said immediatly.
"Why's that?" Mr. Damocles said.
"Because Juleka's not in it!" Marinette said, coming to Travis aid.
"Jule-who?" Mr. Damocles said confused.
"Juleka!" Travis said annoyed, "The tall girl with the purple streaks!"
"Yeah!" Nino said confused, "Where'd she go?"
"Didn't she go to the bathroom?" Nathaniel said.
"Mr. Damocles, aren't we meant to be heading off to lunch?" Chloe said quickly, "And aren't you paying the photographer by the hour?"
"Why yes!" Mr. Damocles said, "No time to retake, class move along, now!"
A few minutes later, Travis followed Rose into the girls bathroom as they were searching for Juleka.
Travis knew he had found her when he could hear the sound of soft sobs coming out of one of the stalls. One that had a chair propped against the door, blocking it. Travis and Rose walk up the stall, he removed the chair and when they open the door they find a crying Juleka, her knees pulled up to her chin.
"I missed the photo." Juleka sniffled as she stood up, "Didn't I?"
"Yeah..." Rose said, "Another one of Chloe's mean tricks!"
"Why should I expect it to be any different?" Juleka said turning her head down, "Nobody ever hears me. Or sees me. I'm invisible. Even in photos."
"Hey, come on Juleka." Travis said gently, "It's not true."
"Forget it." Juleka said, "As long as Chloe's in the picture, she'll find a way to keep me out of it."
"No Juleka!" Rose tried to reason with her.
"Really forget it. Forget me." the tall girl said, before she runs out of the bathroom.
"Poor Juleka, feeling so lonely and ignored..." Travis thought, ignoring what Rose said to him as he went after her, "In her current emotional state, she could be a prime victim for an akuma."
A sad Juleka had run away from school, before she finally reached a nearby park. Her eyes filling with tears, she sat down on one of the wooden park benches. Pulling her knees up to her chin, and hiding her face, she didn't notice the akuma flying towards her wrist mirror.
But before it could reach her, she was startled by the sound of a loud bang. When she looked up, she saw Iron Spider floating a few feet above the ground, his arm outstretched after having blasted the akuma apart.
"Just in time." Iron Spider said, landing on the ground, "Are you alright?"
"Y-Yeah I'm fine." Juleka said, siting up as she rubbed the tears out of her eyes.
"I know that is a lie or else the akuma wouldn't have come after you." Iron Spider said, sitting next to her on the bench, "Do you want to talk about it?"
"I... I wouldn't want to waste your time." Juleka mumbled.
"It's not when I offer." Iron Spider said gently, "And I find that it helps to talk through your problems."
The two sat their for an hour, Juleka explaining what had happened on school, how Chloe had locked her in the bathroom stall and about the photo jinx. The entire time, Iron Spider just sat there and listened to her without judging her.
"...So that's why I was almost akumatized..." Juleka finished sadly, "Because nobody sees me... Not even... Not even the boy I have a crush on."
"That's a horrible thing of Chloe to do. Look, I can't do much about Chloe or help you with your image problems." Iron Spider said, standing up and taking his phone from a pocket in his suit, "But I can help you break the photo jinx."
"What do you mean?" Juleka said.
"We could take a photo together." Iron Spider said, using the camera function on his phone, "I could even upload it to my Bleeter account if you want."
"Uhm... Are you sure?" Juleka said as Iron Spider put his phone in selfie mode and aimed it at the two of them.
"Of course." Iron Spider said, using his free hand to make a peace sign, "Just make sure you smile."
Juleka did just that, smiling as Iron Spider snapped the picture of them together.
"Now this is a nice one." Iron Spider said, showing her the picture, "This I like."
Iron Spider landed in an alleyway near College Françoise Dupont, but it was Travis who walked out of it, putting the spider emblem into his backpack.
"I could take a quick trip home and use the computer in my base." Travis thought as he began to walk back to school. Taking a glasses case from his backpack, "...But I guess this is a good test run as any."
He opened the case, taking out the glasses he had been working on while he should be sleeping. He put them on before whispering, "Talos."
"Stand ready for biometric scan." a soft male voice said coming from his glasses as a near invisible blue light scanned his face, "Scan accepted, welcome Travis."
"Talos, I want you to delete any class photo taken from Miss Bustier class." Travis told his glasses as only the inside of his lenses displayed the HUD, on the outside people would see them as normal glass, "But before you do, show which your going to delete just to be sure."
"Of course." Talos said, as it began to use the satellite to make a connection into the memory card of the camera, "Pictures found."
Travis gave a quick look through the photo's his A.I. had gotten, finding the one where Marinette had jumped up and knocked Chloe against him. "Delete this quickly." he said, "My mouth is way to close to that caked up barbie doll."
"Understood." Talos said as Travis walked into the school and towards the cafeteria, hands in his pocket, "Deleting class photo of Miss Bustier now."
"Juleka, she really does have the photo jinx!" Rose said as she, Marinette, Alya, Adrien, Nino, Nathaniel as they sat in the cafeteria.
"Of course, I should've known Chloe was behind this!" Marinette said angry, "We're gonna have to break this curse!"
"We could ask the photographer." Nathaniel suggested.
"There's no point, he wouldn't want to." Adrien said, "Unless, the photo disappeared, and the principal would have no choice but ask the photographer to shoot another one, with Juleka."
"You're a genius, Adrien!" Rose said, "But why would the photo just disappear?"
"There are many ways a photo could disappear." Travis said, taking a seat next to Nathaniel.
"Travis, did you find Juleka?" Alya said, but the brunette shook his head sadly.
"...But I think she found me." Travis said, waving at the tall girl as she came over to them.
"Hey everyone." Juleka said softly, Rose stood up immediately pulling her into a hug as the as the others asked how she was doing.
"Hey, Juleka." Travis said gently, "How are you doing?"
"Aside from almost being akumatized... I'm doing alright now." she said as the others looked shocked by this news.
"Dude, you were almost akumatized?" Nino said.
"How come you aren't going all super villain?" Nathaniel said surprised.
"Well... Iron Spider intervened before the akuma could get me." Juleka explained.
"You met Iron Spider!?" Alya said, a hint of jealousy.
Juleka nodded, "I did. He saved me from the akuma then we talked about my problems. He's a pretty wise guy, we also took a photo together."
"Yeah right." Chloe said, overhearing what they were talking about, "As if Iron Spider would take a photo with some random nobody."
Nathaniel looked at his phone, having received a message that someone he follows on Bleeter has updated their profile.
"You might want to take back those words." he said, holding it up to show Iron Spider's Bleeter profile, which was updated with a selfie of the hero in red giving a peace sign and a smiling Juleka along with a message.
I don't need a reward for saving the city, but getting smiles from people like Juleka Couffaine makes it all worth it.
"I like this picture of you, Juleka." Travis said, looking from Nathaniel's phone to her, "You look great in it."
"T-Thanks." Juleka said with a small smile.
"So Travis... I know you think none of us have noticed." Alya said suspiciously, making him turned to her, "But you look good with those glasses."
"Glasses?" Travis said surprised, his eyes widening when he realized he still had his T.A.L.O.S. glasses on, "Oh, thank you."
"Why do you have glasses?" Marinette said, "I have never seen you with them."
"When I went looking for Juleka, I got some dust in my eye." Travis began to lie, "It got behind my lenses, so I took them out and went with my glasses."
Travis was laying on his back, deep asleep in his queen size bed during the sunny Saturday morning. He let out a loud snor when he heard his smartphone go off.
Groaning, Travis reached out feeling for his for his phone on the nightstand, it took him a few seconds before he finally got it. Accepting the call without looking, he said sleepily, "Travis speaking."
"Hey T, it's me Adrien." the voice of Adrien said on the other side of the line.
"What's up A?" Travis said, laying back into his pillows.
"Where are you?" Adrien said, "We would meet up at the zoo half an hour ago."
Travis eyes shot open wide when he remembered they would be going to the zoo to help Nino with his girl problems. "Oh yeah, that was today." Travis said, as he stood up and immediately walked towards his walk in closet.
"Dude, why do you sound surprised!?" Nino said suddenly, "This was your idea."
"Morning Travis." Alya said.
"H-Hey Travis." Juleka said.
"I'm here too." Nathaniel said.
"...I should have mentioned your on speaker." Adrien noted, "Anyway Travis, you overslept right?"
"What? No!" Travis said as he balanced his phone between his ear and shoulder, having one leg in his pants, "The bus I'm taking just passed the Arc de Triomphe."
"If that's true than it's going to be a while." Alya said, "Because he took the wrong bus."
"I knew I should have gone with him." Nathaniel said.
"Well seeing as Nathaniel is talking more than two weird." Travis said, finally having dressed, "I can guess Mari is not there yet either?"
"Yeah, but we were kinda expecting that." Alya said, "I would have been more surprised if she was on time."
"Right, I should be there in at most a half hour." Travis said before making a scratching sound with his mouth, "Oh, we are going through a tunnel..."
"Dude, no your not." Nino said, "Your making that sound with your mouth."
"Sorry, can't hear you! Your falling away." Travis said before hanging up.
A few minutes later, Travis is sitting in the public bus towards the zoo, having managed to grab a seat near the window. The bus pulled up to a stop to allow passenger's on and off. To his surprise he saw a familiar face getting on the bus.
"Mari!" he called out, waving her hand at her.
"Travis!" she said, walking towards him as he removed his bag from the seat next to him so she could sit down, "I slept right through my alarm. What about you?" sitting down next to him as the bus resumed it's journey.
"A long night of... gaming." Travis said, which was half true, he had been playing a video game before going to sleep, the other half was him stopping crime as the Iron Spider.
"Really?" she said, "Which game?"
"A good old fashioned game of Civilization." he told her, "It was an epic showdown between the English and Russia."
"Did you win?"
"No... I got crushed by Russia's infinite war engine..." he continued to explain, "And then he went on to say how I got fucked worse than how he fucked my mother the night before... And how he is going to do it again that night."
"That's horrible." Marinette said shocked, "What kind of person would say something like that?"
"My father..." Travis said dryly, "But then my uncle, playing as the Dutch, came in and nuked everyone's capital's... So the last thing my father said while rage quitting was, 'Woman! Your anus! Prepare it!'... With woman he means my mother."
"Don't take this the wrong way, Travis." Marinette said, not sure if she should laugh or be worried, "But your dad sounds a little... messed up."
"Only my dad? And only a little? I'll have you know that my entire family is far from normal..." Travis said with a soft smile, "My aunt told me, that is okay, because every family has its own normal."
"That's pretty heartwarming." Marinette said, "Your aunt sounds like a wise woman."
"She is crazy as fuck." Travis said directly, "I often wonder if she and my uncle compete to out crazy each other."
Some time later, Travis and Marinette departed from bus at their designed stop. The two only had a short walk left before they would arrive at the zoo.
"So what about you?" Travis said, "What is your family like?"
"Oh, I don't have an older sister like you. I'm an only child." Marinette explained, "My parent's aren't anything special either, they own a bakery where we live above."
"Bakery?... Do you mean Tom & Sabine Boulangerie Patisserie?" he said and she nodded, "They make the best bread in the whole of Paris."
"So it was you who mom was talking about the other day." Marinette said, "She told me about a handsome young man with a British accent... She uhm... M-Mentioned your pretty green eyes."
"Well I am very proud of my eye color." Travis said with a smile, "And now I like your mum even more."
"Why is that?" Marinette said surprised.
"She called me handsome." he said, "But what about you Mari? What do you think about me?"
"W-Well... I-I think your very kind..." she stuttered, suddenly blushing, "And I like your eyes."
"Well that makes my day. Your very kind as well." Travis said with a smile, as the zoo entrance came into view, "Just one more thing... Why is Alya looking at me like I kicked her dog or something?"
"Oh... I don't know if you read the Ladyblog?" Marinette said and he gave a nod, "She has this weird theory that Ladybug is a girl superhero, but a guy in daily life."
Travis eyes widen, realizing who the guy Alya thinks Ladybug would be in her daily life. "...I have several questions..." he said slowly, "Might be a funny costume for Halloween though."
At that moment he found the group waiting for them at the entrance of the zoo. Travis went ahead towards them just as Tikki peeked over Marinette's bag.
"That went a lot better than usual." Tikki said to her friend.
"Tikki, stay out of sight." Marinette said, "This is going to be one of the best days ever."
Later that evening, Travis was standing on the balcony of his apartment. Leaning on the railing as he admired the magnificent view of Paris at night.
"So wait, what happened?" Travis said as he was on a group call with Adrien, Nino and Nathaniel.
"Well after chilling with Alya the whole time. I found out we had a lot in common." Nino said, "We just hit it off."
"Well the goal was getting Nino a girlfriend even if it didn't turn out to be Marinette." Nathaniel said, "I consider it a mission accomplished."
"I agree." Adrien said, "And even if we didn't succeed, I had a lot of fun today."
"Me too, it was a lot better than when I went last time." Travis said, "We should do it again sometime."
"What happened last time?" Nathaniel said.
"A friend of mine dragged me to the zoo." Travis said with a deep sigh, remembering what happened, "She did that only to have me watch tiger's for an hour..."
