Marinette was attending a girls only sleepover party at Alya's place. Everyone was there, even Chloe and Sabrina because they had been working really hard to be better and had finally been included in the girls group hangouts.

The girls were having a lot of fun, doing each others make up, telling scary stories, watching movies and just talking about everything that came to mind.

They had just finished painting each others nails when the conversation moved to their italian friend Lila Rossi.

"Girls, you will not believe what Lila told me before she left school yesterday. Apparently she is visiting friends in Gotham, but not just any friends! She's childhood friends with THE Damian Wayne!" Alya exclaimed excitedly.

-Of course she's friends with the only bloodson of Bruce Wayne...NOT! That liar should really stop with all of these outlandish stories! I hate that everyone just believes her every word without even checking!- Marinette thought to herself. She just couldn't believe that the liar had still not tripped over her own lies. This had been going on for over two years now and Alya and the rest of her class still believed every word the italian girl said to them. If they just googled her once, they would realize that everything was nothing but hot air and smoke.

Without meaning to Marinette scoffed as Alya continued to tell everyone the newest bullshit Lila had told her. When she realized what she had done it was already too late, the others had heard her.

"Really Girl? You're still jealous of Lila? Shouldn't you finally get over yourself and just accept that she's a great person?" Alya asked her agitatedly.

"Yeah Marinette, just because you are jealous you shouldn't be so mean to her every time you see her. Lila is just the best!" sweet, naive Rose chastized her with a frown on her face.

"I'm sorry girls, but i'm not jealous! I just don't believe every word that comes out of her mouth unchecked!" Marinette exclaimed, defending herself since everyone was starting to look at her with disappointment.

"Girl, why can't you just trust her? It's not that unbelievable that she has done all of these things. I mean look at our classmates and yourself! You know Jagged Stone and Clara Nightingale as well, you won Gabriel Agreste's hat competition, Audrey Bourgois loved your designs and you also work with Kitty Section. Rose knows Prince Ali, Alix's dad is the curator of the Louvre and Max's mom is an astronaut. Is ist really that impossible for Lila to be just as amazing?" Alya tried to reason with Marinette, not realizing what she just said.

"Don't you see Alya? You just said it yourself! I do know Jagged Stone, which is why i know that he never had a kitten. I do know Clara Nightingale, which is why i know that she would never use someone else's dancemoves. And yes Rose does know Prince Ali, but Rose have you ever talked to him about Lila? I mean you do have his number, you could just call him and ask if he knows her. Why do i always have to show you proof that she's lying?! I DARE YOU to prove Lila's stories to me! Show ME evidence that they are real!" Marinette exclaimed, thouroughly exhausted of always having to be the voice of reason.

The girls looked at her perplexed, not knowing what to do. Everyone always assumed that Marinette didn't like Lila because she was close to Adrien, but now they realized that that may not be the truth after all.

"If you insist that we prove it to you, we will!" Alya exclaimed."Come on girls, lets prove Marinette wrong and show her that there is nothing to worry about. Lila is our friend and I believe that she is telling us the truth!"

With those words the girls started searching for prove of what Lila had told them. As the minutes passed they started searching more frantically, trying different keywords, everything they could think of to find any evidence of what Lila had told them to be the truth. When they still hadn't found any mentions of their friend other than the Ladyblog after half an hour they tried calling Prince Ali.

"Hello Rose my dearest friend! How are you?" Prince Ali geeted them excitedly.

"Hello Prince Ali! I am not doing so well right now. I have a favor to ask of you if that is alright with you?" Rose asked him sadly.

"Of course Rose, you can ask me anything." the prince answered, worried about his friend.

"We have a girl in our class that told us that she knows you. She claimed that she met you years ago and that she is helping you with a charity to end world pollution. Her name is Lila Rossi. Please Prince Ali, tell me that you do know her, otherwhise i don't know what to do!" Rose pleaded with him. The Prince looked at her with a sad face and shook his had solemnly.

"I am sorry to tell you my dear Rose, but this girl was most definitely lying to you. First of all, i don't know anyone by the name of Lila Rossi. Second, i work only with charities for children, not for world pollution." he explained calmly.

The realization that Marinette had been right all along and that Lila was a dirty liar didn't sit all too well with the group of females. They were shocked how stupid they had been. Marinette had been right the entire time, and it was their own fault as well. They hadn't checked Lila's stories and taken everything the girl had told them at face value.

"Thank you Prince Ali... You have opened our eyes to the truth. I have to hang up now, but i'll call you another time and we can catch up then. We have to apologize to our friend now. Bye!" Rose said near tears.

"Of course Rose. I can't wait to hear from you again. Have a nice day." the prince answered and ended the call.

"I can't believe she tricked us the entire time! I put lies on the Ladyblog! I'm going to lose all of my credibility because of her! Oh who am I fooling, this is my own fault for not checking my sources. I shouldn't have believed everything just because she told me it was true." Alya said dejectedly.

"I tried to tell you so many times that she was lying but you never believed me and just assumed that i was jealous of her. If you had thought back to not that long ago, i was the one to help Adrien with his date with Kagami. If it was just jealousy over Adrien, i would have said so from the beginning. You guys know how much i hate liars. It was never about what she supposedly acomplished but the fact that she didn't and you guys didn't even think to check what she said. I was really hurt you know? I mean we have been friends for years and all of you just threw me away like an old toy when someone new and shinier came along that promised you all of these connections. The worst of all is, that she actually threatened me multiple times. Telling me that if i didn't fall in line and stop trying to expose her, she would take away all of my friends. She nearly succseeded too. That time i was almost expelled? She was the one to frame me. I didn't steal the test answers or her necklace and i didn't push her down the stairs either. She was the one that planted those things in my bag and my locker and she walked down the stairs and cried out that i pushed her. Even though she didn't even have a scrape on her, everyone believed that i did it."

After Marinette was done with her rant there was silence in the Cecaire home. The girls were horrified of what they had just been told. Never would they have thought that there was a person so vile to do all of these things. They were ashamed of themselves, not realizing that what they were doing was hurting their friend, a friend that always bend over backwards to help them achieve their dreams. They had believed a liar and abandoned their friend that was always there for them.

"I'm so sorry Marinette! I should have believed you, or at least listened to you when you told me that there was something fishy about Lila. To be honest i really wanted her stories to be true, because if they were it would be awesome for my future carreer. I relize now that i was blended by my own ambitions. You are my best friend and i just dismissed your words because they weren't what i wanted to hear. I'm really sorry girl, i hope you can someday find it in yourself to forgive me."

The other girls shared the sentiment and started apologizing as well. Marinette looked at her friends and knew that, even if they had hurt her she would still forgive them. Maybe not trust them immediately, but eventually she would come to trust them again.

"I thank you all for realizing your mistakes and apologizing. I do accept your apologies and i forgive you. I may not trust you right now, but with time i may come to trust you guys again. I will still be your friend, always, and i will still be there for you, but please just listen the next time i tell you something. You don't have to trust me blindly, but i would appreciate it very much if you could just listen to what i have to say and then research for yourselves if something is the truth or not. I'm really happy that you finally know the truth now, and i think we should let the boys know about Lila as well." Marinette told them calmly.

The girls agreed with her and together they called all of the boys and created a group call. There they told them what they had found and the guys apologized to Marinette as well. When everyone had apologized they got to planning. They wanted to expose Lila as the liar she was and decided that they had to let the adults know what had been going on. They agreed that first thing come monday they would go to principal Damocles and tell him about Lila. They would make sure that he actually called Lila's mother and got her into school that day. They wanted to expose her in front of her mother so that she couldn't get away with it.

When they were done with planning they ended the call and the girls went back to their fun girls only slumberparty.

MLBMLBMLBMLBMLBMLBMLBMLBMLBMLBMLBMLBMLBMLBMLBMLBMLBMLBMLBMLB

Monday morning the people that the class had decided to go talk to Damocles, which included Marinette, Alya, Chloe, Sabrina, Max and Adrien, met up half an hour before school started. They had decided on that time because they knew that Lila wouldn't be there for another fifteen minutes, which gave them enough time to convince the principal of the girls deception.

It was way easier than they had expected to get the man to call Lila's mother. Though with the daughter of the mayor and the genius Max, as well as the son of a really rich Fashion Designer it wasn't that hard to believe that he would bow and do as he was told.

When he came off the phone with Madame Rossi he had a frown on his face. He explained to them that the woman had not known about anything about the various deseases her daughter claimed to have and would come to the school as soon as possible. He told the group of six that they should go to their class and that he would join them as soon as Madame Rossi had arrived. The teenagers complied and went back to their peers.

When they arrived in the classroom everyone looked at them expectantly. They nodded their heads and told the others what had happened. They agreed that they would play along with Lila until her mother came into the classroom. They didn't want to tip Lila off that something was wrong and have her run away before she could get her karma.

When Lila arrived everyone greeted her cheerfully and Alya took the job of listening to Lila's newest story. The liar didn't realize that anything was wrong and prattled along about how she had the greatest weekend of her life and that she was now dating Damian Wayne. Alya played her role flawlessly and asked her a million questions excitedly, begging Lila to get her an interview with her supposed boyfriend. Lila told her about how shy Damian apparently was and that he really didn't like being in the media.

Just as Lila was about to continue talking the bell rang and Madame Bustier entered the classroom, followed by principal Damocles and one very angry Madam Rossi.

Everyone could see as Lila's face lost all color. The liar realized that whatever was about to happen, it wouldn't end well for her.

"Lila Bernadette Rossi! WHAT is this i hear about you?! Telling everyone that you have all of these disabilities when you don't. Lying to them about knowing all of these celebrities and worst of all lying to my face about how the school was closed because the heroes were so incompetent that they couldn't defeat all of these Akuma's! You skipped school for over two months and lied to EVERYONE! What did you think would happen? That no one ever found out and you would get away with decieving everyone scott free? I don't think so young lady. You are grounded until you're thirty! I'm taking you back to Italy to live with your VERY strict grandparents and i will enroll you in a VERY VERY strict school and tell them exactly what you did and make sure that EVERYONE knows about it. You will never get away with something like that again! Now go pack up your stuff! We will leave immediately so you won't get akumatized AGAIN! Yes i know about that too! Now get over here so we can leave!"

Lila looked at her mother with pure hatred and didn't even try to defend herself. She knew that nothing she could say would change anything about the situation. When she looked to her classmates she realized that nobody looked surprised. Some of them even had a smug smirk on their faces and when she looked at Marinette she couldn't miss the triumph in her eyes.

"YOU!" she screeched before throwing herself in Marinette's direction, trying to hurt the smaller girl. She didn't get far though. Before she could reach the bluenette she was tackled to the ground by Kim, who held her down when she struggled to get back up and hurt the girl.

"This is all your fault MARINETTE DUPAIN-CHENG! You are going to pay for this! I'm going to kill you! AAAARRGHHH! You bitch i'm going to get you! Mark my words, one day i'll get you for this you stupid sliteyed bitch!" Lila continued screaming and cursing Marinette even though Kim was still on top of her.

"Lila Rossi, you will not threaten another girl just because YOU did something wrong. No matter what she may have done, it was the right thing. You will not only be grounded, no i will make sure that you will never leave Italy again so that you can't hurt that sweet girl." Madame Rossi declared as she looked down upon her crazy, still screeching daughter.

"Miss Dupain-Cheng i am so sorry for whatever my daughter has done to you. I will make sure that she never comes close to you again. Now if you would excuse me, i have a daughter to remove. Young man, i thank you from holding her back. You can get off her now, i will take care of the rest." Madame Rossi assured as Kim got off of Lila and her mother grabbed her by the arm, holding her tight to make sure she couldn't run away.

"Have a wonderful rest of your day all of you, we will take our leave now. Monsieur Damocles i will come back and finalize everything for her removal when i have made sure that she is in good hands. I will stay in contact." Madame Rossi said and then turned to her still struggling daughter, looking at her with an icy glare. "As for YOU young lady, you will stop your useless struggle right now and shut up or i will have to involve the police and tell them that you just issued death threats to one of your classmates. I am sure that they will have nicely fitting handcuffs just for you. Now stop struggling and come with me!"

When Madame Rossi tried to leave the room Lila tried one last time to get away and when she failed she started shouting again.

"Hawkmoth! If there ever was a perfect time to akumatize me then it is now! Give me my powers! HAWKMOTH! Why aren't you sending me my Akuma! We had a DEAL!"

Everyone was shocked into silence after Lila's outburst. They knew that she was rotten to the core, but they couldn't believe that she would go so far as to work with a terrorist.

"Uhm... I'm really sorry Madame Rossi but what your daughter just said is treason. We will have to call the police because it seems she has been working with a terrorist." Max explained timidly, not looking the woman in the eyes as he told her that not only was her daughter a pathological liar, she was also a criminal.

"I understand. I can't believe she would go so far just to get what she wants, but if this is her true face then there is nothing i can do about it. She is 16 years old, which means she will have to go to a jail for underaged criminals but she will still be held responsible for her actions." Madame Rossi agreed looking absolutely dismayed.

"You can't call the police! You have no proof. They won't believe you just because you losers tell them something like that. I'll make sure that they won't believe you! I'll tell them that you are the ones working for him and that i am the victim here, being framed by you all because you wanted to get rid of me! HAHAHAHAHAHA all of you will rott in jail until you're old and grey!" Lila laughed crazily, mocking them thinking that she had won. After all she was a skilled liar, she was sure that she would be able to convince the police officers that she was innocent.

"I am pleased to inform you Miss Rossi, that we do have proof of your transgression. Since i am a Robot with the possibility to record things, i took the liberty of starting the video recording of this incident the moment you tried to assault Marinette. I have everything that just happened on viedeo, including this conversation as i am still filming. Everything you do and say will be seen by the police officers i have already contacted. They will be here soon." Markov explained coldly. Max was proud of his AI friend, he should have thought of that himself but he was glad that Markov had done it so they could finally take Lila down for good.

It didn't take long for the police to arrive. Sabrina's father was the one to come into the classroom and take Lila into custody. He handcuffed her and brought her outside, all the whilke looking out for Akuma's. It seemed that they were all in Luck that day, as no matter how much Lila raged and screamed and called for Hawkmoth to help her, the cursed Butterfly never came.

Nobody knew why Hawkmoth didn't akumatize her that day but they were all glad that he seemed to either be otherwise occupied or didn't see any value in transforming the vile girl.

Inside the Agreste Mansion:

"Nathalie! I have a really weird feeling that i am missing something important, is there anything on my agenda that we forgot about?" Gabriel Agreste asked his assistant Nathalie Sanceur with a frown on his face.

"No sir, there is nothing important scheduled for today. Maybe it's because you haven't taken a break for a long time. Maybe you should go and take the day off, take a relaxing bath and maybe even spend some time with your son, he has seemed quite lonely and sad lately." Nathalie proposed with a neutral expression as always.

"Maybe you are right Nathalie. It has been a while since i last relaxed. Please see to it that my day remains free and reschedule any of Adriens planned classes for this afternoon. When he comes home, please tell him to meet me in the garden, as i will spend some time there after my bath." Gabriel decided and dismissed his assistant for the day.

MLBMLBMLBMLBMLBMLBMLBMLBMLBMLBMLBMLBMLBMLBMLBMLBMLBMLBMLBMLB

When the police took Lila away and her mother left with them the class wated until they couldn't hear Lila's screams anymore and then started cheering loudly. Marinette was happy that she was finally rid of the girl and that she finally had her friends trust back.

They decided that they woud celebrate Lila's take down on the next weekend so that everyone could be present.

When Adrien came home that day he was pleasantly surprised that his father wanted to spent time with him. When he told him what had happened at school his father stiffened but then forced himself to relax as he realized that there was nothing he could do about it anymore. He knew that Lila would have been transported out of Paris immediately and that he wouldn't be able to reach her anymore anyway. He realized that his feeling that day must have been because of the situation at his sons school.

When Marinette went to sleep that night it was the first time for a long time that she fell asleep with a smile on her face.

She couldn't believe that a dare was the reason that Lila finally fell off her throne of lies.
