Chloe was at her computer, browsing through some life improvement articles. As she scrolled through the web pages, she became more and more frustrated. Many of the articles told her to be herself, and to let go of all of her troubles. She groaned in annoyance and defeat. "Pollen, what am I to do! None of these websites are of any help to me. They just go on and on about useless stuff. I don't need to be myself! I've been myself. Utterly ridiculous, I swear." whined the blonde girl.

"My queen, the way you have been treating others is not yourself, you are just as nice as everyone else if you would get out of your hive," responded the kwami.

"I don't need puns, Pollen, I need answers. I really want to change, but none of this stuff is helpful whatsoever. Am I just predestined to be like this for the rest of my life!"

"Of course not My queen! If you make the effort, you surely will be better. It's only a matter of time," reassured Pollen

"It's going to take much longer if you continue to talk like that, that's for sure. Jeez, I wish you would talk normally or something."

"You wanna hear normal, homey, this is MY normal. You okay with this, 'cuz not many are. Or would you prefer if I go back to 'My Queen' forever?" Pollen said in the sassiest voice Chloe had ever heard.

"Wow, just wow. I did not expect to ever here to hear you talk like that," Chloe said, her mouth open in shock.

"You like it, honey?" Pollen asked. Before Chloe could respond to the question, her room intercom went off. The voice of Jean, Chloe's butler, called out of the speakers.

"Mademoiselle Chloe, Sabrina has just arrived. Would you like for me to send her upstairs?" he asked.

"Of course Jean-whatever-it-is, what are you waiting for? And send some snacks up here also!" Chloe yelled into the microphone.

"And that right there is step one. Don't bite the hand that feeds you. And that goes for your father and your butler" explained Pollen.

"Chloe, who are you talking to? Can I come in, I have the things," Sabrina called through the door.

"Pollen, hide!" Chloe whispered, before saying louder, "I was just talking to Jean, that's all. I told him to get us some food. Come on in."

"Sabrina opened the doors to Chloe's bedroom and was greeted with her bright yellow walls, broken up by the Ladybug merchandise she had accumulated over to her years. As she made her way to sit down on the velvet sofa Chloe had in the middle of the common, she noticed something interesting on the blonde's computer screen.

"You didn't tell me you were planning a party, Chloe," Sabrina inquired

"Oh! Yeah, a party, a party," Chloe trailed off before jumping up and exclaiming, "A Christmas party, that's what I can do. It almost worked the first time. I'm so glad I thought of that"

Chloe didn't fail to see the look on Sabrina's face as she said the last part of her sentence. "I mean, our idea. C'mon we have planning to do," she corrected with a smile.

"And we'll make sure that there's plenty of mistletoe, that way Adrien can't escape!" Chloe said. The two girls had been working on the party planning for about three hours, discussing the time, entertainment, food, and all sorts of logistical details. They had just typed up the email that she was going to send to their year's class.

"Chloe, I think you forgot one person," Sabrina observed, as she looked at the recipient's list on the email.

"Who, I have Nino, Kim, Mylene…" Chloe trailed on. "No! Marinette does not need to come, she'll just get in my way with Adrien!" she complained.

"Was this party made to kiss Adrien or to redeem yourself Chloe?" inquired the red-haired girl.

"Wait, how did you know that, I never said anything?" Chloe asked with confusion visible on her makeup adorned face.

"You left the How do I get friends webpage up. Now put Marinette up on that email list," commanded Sabrina, an unusual thing for her to do.

Alas, Chloe did put Marinette on the email list, not without much debate though. The two girls then went down to the shopping center to buy some decorations for the party. As they went on, Chloe began to slowly unravel her reasons for being who she is, starting with the abandonment by her mother and ending with her jealousy of Marinette. Sabrina tried to comfort her friend but found it extremely difficult to calm the girl down. To avoid embarrassment, the two went into a nearby shop to wait Chloe's tears out.

"Chloe, I never knew you felt that way. Why didn't you tell me earlier, I could've helped you. We all would have helped you," Sabrina said, as she tried to comfort the other girl.

"Weakness hasn't helped me before, and here I am, acting up," Chloe sighed. "Wait, there are Alya and Nino, I need to ask them about some stuff about the party. That should take my mind off this whole mess."

Chloe wiped her now dry tears on the sleeve of her coat. She and Sabrina then exited the store and caught up with the couple in front of them.

"Alya! Nino! Do you have a minute-"

"Aahhh! Jeez, Chloe, you don't have to scare us. What do you need?" Alya asked.

"About the party, you see, I haven't just yet asked your mom about cooling, and I was sorta, maybe hoping you could do that for me. I apologize for not asking earlier, but the whole party thing was planned today. I kinda also need Nino to DJ at the party, if that's okay," Chloe explained to the group in front of her.

"Wow, okay, I'll see what my mom can do, but maybe give me some buffer next time. And this is only because you apologized for something, which seems to be getting less and less rare," responded the brunette. "And I'll DJ at the party, just give me time to get there beforehand to set up my gear and stuff; don't sweat asking me late, it's all chill," Nino continued.

"Thank you all for listening to me. This means a lot, really. Thank you," Chloe said sincerely.

Alya and Nino waved goodbye to the other two girls and began to part their ways. As they were a block apart from each other, a loud crashing sound came flying through the streets, before multiple car alarms went off.

"I am Motormaster!" a dark figure exclaimed from the distance.

A/N Thank you all for all of the positive reviews! Sorry I fell off the face of the earth, I had awful writers block. This one might have been a bit rough on the editing side, so I apologize. Hope you all enjoy!
