At the Place des Vosges, Marinette was walking down the park with Franklin. She sees Alya sitting on a bench, she sees Marinette.
Alya: Hey, girl.
Marinette: Hey. *They both hugged. *
Alya: Come on. *They both sit down and Marinette holds the leash. * Listen, I think you should go with us to the Winter Ball tonight. *Marinette sighed and looked away for a second. *
Marinette: I don't know, Alya.
Alya: Why? Just because Adrien isn't going with you, doesn't mean you can't miss out on tonight's dance. This is a one-of-a-lifetime opportunity, people cannot miss this moment. There has to be someone who can go with you.
Marinette: I don't know. I might not go tonight.
Alya: Why not? Give me one good reason why you're not gonna go tonight.
Marinette: I have to babysit again.
Alya: Again? Didn't you babysit last night?
Marinette: Yeah. But since my parents are also gonna be catering the ball tonight, I told them I'm not going and I decided to babysit again tonight.
Alya: What? Marinette, you can't miss this dance tonight. Can you convince them to let you go?
Marinette: Nope, not happening.
Alya: (groans) Come on. What about Luka?
Marinette: What about him?
Alya: Marinette, in case you didn't notice, but Luka... likes you.
Marinette: What?
Alya: Let me rephrase that he "like-likes" you. Meaning: He loves you. *Marinette looked shocked. * Did you notice?
Marinette: To be honest... no. He's just a friend. *Alya facepalmed and sighed. *
Alya: Seriously. Where is your head? Ever since you met Luka and have been hanging out for a while, he's head over heels for you. You were goo-goo eyeballing Adrien. Think it's time to "move the compass to a new statue?"
