Vanitas was working on a gift for you by adding a finishes touches. Echo stuff his banana, strawberry's and blackberry's as Vanitas finally finished and showed him a lilac rosy hair stick he made.

"Well, how does this look?" Vanitas seems proud of his design.

"OoH~ She's gonna love it!" Echo beams. "Wait, don't tell me, let me take a guess. Are you going to confess your Vow of everlasting Love?!"

Vanitas pouts and looks away turning a deeper shade of red. "Perhaps a different solution, I could make her an Ocarina."

At the Agreste mansion dining room. Nathalie gives Vanitas' bracelet to Gabriel.

"What is it?" Gabriel examines the hair stick.

Vanitas looks down expressionless when Adrien looks to him in concern. "It's a gift I made for (Y/n). I was going to repay her  for saving me. She's....a very interesting girl that catch my interest..."

 Gabriel narrow his eyes at Vanitas' hair stick. "It's very crafted. But I did remind you that your bride is coming very soon. It wouldn't be appropriate if you would give it to the one you spend your time with."

"She deserves to have something in return as much has she has done for me. I would like to thank her properly for giving her a gift in return." Vanitas stood his grounds.

Gabriel glances at Nathalie and she nods.

"Alright then. But remember, you will do your role and greet your bride." Gabriel agrees slightly.

Vanitas bows in respect. "Thank you, Father."

{~Place des Vosges~}

Gabriel approaches Lila at the park who is reading.

"I thought you were supposed to protect Adrien and Vanitas  from Marinette. The one you said was a bad influence."

"My plan is taking a little longer than expected, sir. But you won't be disappointed." Lila promises if she succeeds. She has taken away a paper from Miss Bustier's desk and head to the Locker room and puts the paper into Marinette's backpack.  "Will you keep your promise if I succeed?"

"I always honor my commitments." Gabriel droves away

"You work too hard, sir." Nathalie tells Gabriel

"Now's not the time to ease up, Nathalie."

{~Collège Françoise Dupont~}

Everyone goes inside the classroom.

"I'm good friends with the best manga publisher in Japan, you know. I can talk to them about your comic book project if you like."

"She's such a liar!" Marinette overhears Lila and sneered.

"You gotta stop obsessing over her, Marinette." Alya sighs.

"I've graded your mock exam papers. Most of you did quite well, some better than others, but before I hand them back, Marinette, could you bring your schoolbag to me, please? I need to check something." Miss Bustier announces and  Marinette brings her bag to her.  "Today, someone placed an anonymous note in my mailbox, claiming that you'd stolen the exam answers, and it looks like the anonymous person was right!"

The whole class gasps in shock.

Marinette was bewildered. "But that's not true! Someone must've planted that piece of paper in my bag!"

"But you've answered all of the questions correctly." Miss Bustier accredited.

"I did? Yes, but because I've studied."
