Scene: Z+Marinette's room. Marinette is cutting fabric, Zane and Zaria are working on some music and Zeke is working on VFX.

Xuppu: I'll bet you anything it's a tablecloth for a picnic.

Marinette: Not even close, Xuppu. It's a cape. (She gets up.) This one's for the superhero of creation. (Walks over to a red cape.) This one's for the supervillain of destruction.

Xuppu: Capes for Cat Noir and Ladybug?

Zane: No, it's for a movie. (The kwamis ooh.) You know, those make-believe stories they show on TV?

Zeke: Yeah we're working on effects and music.

Orikko: Are you guys gonna be famous?

Marinette: No, I'm the costume designer, Zane and Zaria are the composers and Zeke is the VFX Artist with help from max of course.

Zane: We're not acting in it. We are gonna be on the news.

Marinette: (Gasps.) Guys we're gonna be late!

The Lot of them grab their shit, marinette grabs two flashlights and leaves.

Scene: TVi news announcement.

Nadja: And now, the very original project coming from the Françoise Dupont school in Paris. Clara Contard reporting.

Scene: Françoise Dupont highschool. Art classroom. The students are getting ready for the movie.

Clara: Under the initiative of the art teacher, Jean-Pierre Monlataing, one of Françoise Dupont school's alumni, Worst writer in the world Thomas Astruc, who's become a successful film director, is participating in an ambitious project. (Thomas Astruc shows Zoé and Mylène how to use the swords.) He's overseeing this group of students who are volunteering their own vacation time to produce a real-life movie. (Nino and Jean-Pierre supervise Nathaniel and Zeke as they draw.) From script to storyboard, not to mention costumes, (Rose admires Marinette's costumes)-everything's being done by the students themselves (Alix paints a sword green.) with financial support from Paris' city hall.

André: Yes; you know, I myself directed a few in my youth, and-

Clara: And the cherry on top is that the film will be released in select movie theaters thanks to famous producer Bob Roth. (An image of him appears, and André peeps from behind. Rose and Marinette help Mylène and Zoé with their costumes.) What a lucky break for these student-filmmakers, as well as for the two young actresses who'll be starring in the main role!

Zoé: (reading script) You may hate me, but I love you, and I always will!

Scene: Chloé's room in Le Grand Paris.

Chloé: (throws banana peel at the screen with Zoé) A film with my half-of-a-sister as the star?! Ridiculous!

Sabrina: (offering a banana from a bowl) Do you want another banana, Chloé? I've heard they help put people in a better mood.

Chloé: (grabbing the banana) What I want is to go tell that bunch of lamoes how things work in real life! (She walks off. Sabrina runs after her.) In my life.

Scene: Art classroom. Zoé and Mylène are rehearsing.

Zoé: You may hate me, but I love you, and I always will-

Chloé: (slamming the door open) How dare you all! Giving the lead role to my half-of-a-sister who just came out of nowhere?!

Zane: Bitch you didn't audition!

Marinette laughs.

Chloé: Shut Up Zane, And with daddy's money, on top of it all.

André: Uh, it's not actually funded by me, sweetheart, but by the city.
