Miraculous 1: Welcome to Paris!

Mr. Pigeon

Mr. Damocles was making an announcement to Miss Bustier's class, "You only have one day to work on your fashion piece, and it must be your own design. In ten hours, your finished presentation will be judged by none other than the great fashion designer..." he moves and gestures to the screen behind him as Miss Bustier reveals a picture of the fashion designer, "Gabriel Agreste, the father of our very own student, Adrien Agreste." Adrien rubs the back of his head sheepishly as Ryder nudges his arm, "In fact, Adrien will model the winning design in his next photoshoot." Marinette makes a weird noise as she grins at Alya, "And now, to announce this year's theme: derby hats!"

"Derby hats?" Marinette looks confused.

"Yes!" Amber pumps her fist as she takes out her sketchpad for designs and starts drawing.

"You got this in the bag, Amby!" Chloé smiles before she catches Marinette's glare, "The other contestants don't stand a chance."

"Oh, don't say that." Amber smiles before looking over at Marinette. She then turns back to Chloé with a smirk and a whisper, "That wannabe designer won't even win. Believe me."

...

Marinette paces in front of Alya as she was sitting on a bench, the bluenette looking through her sketchbook, "Derby hat, derby hat, derby hat, derby hat...! I don't have any derby hat designs. I've got top hats, caps, even two-horned hats! Need a beret? I'm your girl. A sombrero? No problem-o. But a derby?! You know what? It won't even matter, 'cause I'll probably make a total fool of myself at the event, most likely trip over our derby and collapse on Mr. Agreste; give him a full-blown concussion and Adrien will hate me! I'll never be a world-renowned fashion designer. MY LIFE IS OVER!" she collapses onto Alya's lap.

"All this over a derby hat?" Alya asks, "Let me see your sketchpad, girl." the bluenette hands her sketchpad over to her, "There must be something in here."

"Forget it, I'm a disaster zone. I'll probably mess everything up in the end." Marinette looks depressed.

"Wow, Alya, those are some awesome designs." Adrien comments as he leans against the wall, scaring Marinette into hiding, "I didn't know you had such mad skills."

"Uh, thanks Adrien, but I can't take the credit. These sick designs belong to Marinette." Alya gestures to the bluenette, who was hiding behind the bench, waving and smiling creepily, "Off the chain, right?"

"You're super talented, Marinette. You seriously have a good chance of winning."

"Well, um, yeah! We like-um, designs that-um..." Marinette trails off as Alya makes motions to her, "Go upwards?" Adrien raises an eyebrow in confusion as Alya shakes her hands, "Um, while stopping...I mean, uh-Thanks?"

"Sure, and uh, good luck. Maybe I'll be wearing your derby at father's next photoshoot." Adrien leaves as Marinette watches him with a creepy and lovestruck stare.

"Chloé, Sabrina, what do you think? Anything I should not add in?" Amber asks as she was sketching multiple different designs at once. This catches Adrien's attention.

"Just make sure there are no real feathers in the hat." Sabrina told her.

"I'm not gonna use a real feather. Adrien is allergic and those feathers could belong to a bird that carries diseases. Only an idiot would take a bird feather from the ground." Amber retorts.
