Question: what does Chloe say in this picture?

Marinette nervously hopped from one foot to the other as she waited for her date to arrive.

Sure, she was excited and looking forward to the party, but she also wanted to curl in bed and never come out because of her nerves.

Her breath hitched when the familiar black limousine came into view and she let out a deep breath to settle her rapid heartbeat.

She turned around and looked at her parents who were waiting with her and quickly hugged them both, before making her way out the door, sliding into the limousine after waving at her parents.

Adrien slipped in too after since he had been a gentleman and had held the door open for her, and he looked at her with a bright smile.

"Thank you for coming with me to the dance, Marinette. I'm sure we'll have much fun together."  Adrien said, making Marinette's heart warm.

"Thank you for asking me. Without you, I wouldn't even have got to go."

"Of course, that's what friends do, right?" He asked her and Marinette tried hard to keep the happy expression on her face. Friendzoned once again...

"I guess you're right," she smiled tightly. "But thank you anyway."

Adrien grinned at her and Marinette averted her eyes from his emerald ones and looked out of the window to see that they had arrived.

They hadn't even noticed the car stop, even though they could have guessed that they would arrive speedily. It was a short drive and it was quite late at night, so there was barely any traffic.

"Looks like we're here." Marinette pointed towards the window and Adrien seemed to snap out of the trance he was in.

He quickly scrambled out of the car and ran to her side of the car and opened the door for her with a charming smile.

She returned it and took the hand that he offered to her.

"You look beautiful, by the way. I'm sorry that I forgot to tell you that. I guess I'm a little bit nervous." Adrien told her and Marinette was confused on why he would be nervous. They were going as friends... What's so stressful about that?

She looked down at the dress she had made herself while being in deep thought. It was just above her knees and was a beautiful shade of pink. It had little flowers embroidered on it and those gave the dress a cute and innocent look.

"Thank you and don't worry about it," Marinette assured him. "You look quite handsome too. I love your suit."

"My father made it, of course, and I can't deny that he is great with clothes." He fiddled with the green tie that was secured around the neck and complimented his beautiful eyes. The suit was a modern black one that fit around his body perfectly.

Adrien then gestured at her creation. "But comparing it with your dress it is just boring and dull. I'm guessing you made it yourself?" He said after he gave his name to the security guard, who let them inside seconds later.

"Yeah, I did, but that's not true. Your father is the king of fashion. I'm nothing next to him."

"Nonsense. You won the derby hat competition and I could see that he was really impressed by you. There really is something about your designs that just screams Marinette and it makes your clothes so authentic."

Marinette couldn't help the blush forming on her face and she looked at the ground. "Thank you, Adrien, I appreciate it."

He was about to reply when he was interrupted by a familiar voice and the owner didn't exactly seem happy...
