9:25am:
-Paris, France, - Pont des Arts -

Earlier, after their group hug, Adrien suggested that they all track down Andre "the ice cream vendor" and purchase some ice cream from him, as this was supposed to make his younger sister, Gabriella, happy. Gabriella had been melancholy since the start of the day because she has been missing her family in Manchester.

Nathalie protested to Adrien's idea in the beginning because it was "still too early in the morning for ice cream," but she eventually relented when Gabriel, her daughter, and Adrien managed to persuade her.

"It is never too early for ice cream" Adrien and Gabriella told her.

And since Andre is usually strewn about Paris, you'd never know where you'd find him unless you went searching for him. And after a few minutes of looking for him, they found him at the Pont des Arts bridge, where he was already busily serving the public.

"See mom, there are already lots of people wanting to buy ice cream from Andre!" Adrien stated as he gazed out the window on Gabriella's side.

Nathalie glanced out Gabriel's window, saw the line up to get ice cream, and turned to Adrien, "Well, I suppose you're all right. It's never too early to indulge into some ice cream." she finally agrees.

Gabriella stared out the window already feeling the excitement all over. Remaining her eyes, staring at the window, she squeals and exclaims, "Can we get off now, please?! I want ice cream!"

Gabriel merely laughs at her before unlocking his door and walking over to hers, swinging it open, "Come on, little lady, let's go," he then says. And with that, Gabby exited the vehicle hastily, followed by Adrien.

When they exited the vehicle, Gabriel started walking to Nathalie's side to open the door for her, but as he walks, he sees Nathalie has already exited the vehicle and is now heading to their side.

"I have working hands, Gabriel," Nathalie declares firmly, as she walks past him.

Gabriel slips his hands in his pocket, as he follows behind Nathalie.

While they were all approaching Andre, Gabriel glanced back and noticed the photographers trailing them. "Fucking dammit it," he says quietly, which Nathalie, who is walking by him, overhears. "What's the matter?" she inquires looking at him.

He looks over to her whilst they continue walking, "Don't look behind y-" Nathalie disobeys and turns her head back.

"You never listen to me," Gabriel tsks as Nathalie returns her gaze to him.

"I just wanted to know what was bothering you enough to make you curse," Nathalie says softly, smiling slightly at him before removing her haze from him.

"Father how did they even know we were here?" Adrien asks, the paparazzi peering in the corner of his eyes. Gabriel gives him a shrug and then places his arm around Nathalie's shoulders.

They all just pretended the paparazzi weren't there and went about doing what they came here to do.

It was eventually their turn after standing in line, waiting, for a minute or two in line.

"Adrien!" calls upon seeing the boy.

"Hello, Andre! We just stopped by to have some ice cream. I'm here with my family." Adrien informs him.

"Excellent decision!" Andre begins scooping his ice cream for him. Adrien gazed up to the top of his ice cream stand, the little side of the roof, and noticed Alya and Nino's photographs, as well as his and Marinette's tapped there. He smiles as he starred at the photos.
