SEASON 5 - LUKANETTE VERSION PART 2 OF 2

COLLUSION - PART 2

At lunch, Marinette and her friends all discussed about going to see Zoe and Luka perform at the Romeo and Juliet play.

Rose sighed. ‘Romeo and Juliet is a sweet romantic story. But it has such a sad ending!’

‘Yeah, but at least it’s only acting, they don’t actually die!’ Mylene smiled.

‘Yes, I know. But I might still cry!’ Rose replied as Juleka squeezed her hand and smiled at her as Rose smiled.

‘You want to come and see Zoe and Luka perform Ann-Marie?’ Marc smiled. ‘It’s on tonight so you don’t have work, right?’

‘Yeah, not tonight, so it works out well! Lucky I have a free period after lunch to hopefully do my math homework in, so Dad should allow me to go!’ Ann-Marie smiled. ‘As long as I don’t get much more in my other classes today.’

‘Great!’ Nathaniel smiled. ‘We’ll pick you up from your house and head over to the Liberty around 6:15. Everyone is meeting there and then Jagged is going to take us all over in his limo at around 6:30 as the show starts at 7!’

‘Sounds like a plan!’ Ann-Marie smiled.

Andre Bourgeois texted Zoe on her Alias ring in the limo on the way home from school.

Andre: “I’ll have to go straight to the school from City Hall tonight sweetie, I’m just swamped with work here. But don’t worry, I will be there before 7!”

Zoe: “Great! Is Mom coming?”

Andre: “I think she’s working late at Style Magazine tonight, but she did say she would try to make tomorrow night’s show.”

Zoe: “Okay, see you tonight!”

Andre: “I know you’ll do well Zoe! You’ve worked so hard, you should be proud!”

Zoe: “Thanks! ☺️”

Zoe arrived back in her limo as Chloe pulled up in hers.

‘Hey sis, you coming to my performance tonight?’ Zoe asked her.

‘What performance?’ Chloe replied disdainfully.

‘Romeo and Juliet? The one I’ve been rehearsing months for?’ Zoe replied.

‘Oh, that... Why on earth would you think I’d want to come and watch you act in some stupid play? I think I’d rather watch paint dry’ Chloe sighed as she saunters off to her room.

A simple no would have sufficed Zoe thinks to herself as she heads off to her room to work on her lines one last time.

Meanwhile, when Chloe gets to her room, she finds a small parcel 📦 on her dresser.

‘What is this?’ she says with a raised eyebrow as her phone rings in her room.

She sighs and answers it. “Hello?”

Persephone: “Hi, it’s Persephone, we met at the Diamond Dance?”

Chloe: “Oh! Yes! Persephone! To what do I owe the pleasure of this phone call?”

Persephone: “I can’t talk long, I managed to convince my driver to pull over at a cafe because I pretended to really need the restroom so I could sneak away and use a payphone! I’m grounded and my Alias ring has been confiscated.”

Chloe: “Aww, poor baby! I’m guessing because of your widdle temper tantrum at the Spring Fair hmm? Well what can I do for you?”

Persephone: “Did you get the package I sent you?”
