What would happen if Marinette didn't meet Adrien, she met Luka instead- Juleka's older brother and her childhood friend growing up. She start to fall head over heels for him and he start to notice. And what would happen if both Ladybug and Cat Noir...
{Marinette's diary entry intro: I'm not one to brag, but I love video games. Not just all video games, but the Ultimate Mecha Smash III. There's a gaming tournament for the game. And let's just say someone dragged me into entering it. I'm not one to point fingers or anything. But that didn't sit well for Max when I beat his APM.}
In Marinette's room, Marinette writes in her diary before going to the Library meeting Alya.
Marinette: Dear diary, guess what? I was two spots away from transforming back and revealing my true identity to Cat Noir. *She closed her diary, put it in her box, and she leaves her house and heads back to school. * Hmm?
Tikki: What's that noise?
Marinette: Hide, Tikki! *In the Library, the students are playing Ultimate Mecha Strike III. Adrien and Max are playing while Alya records them. *
Alya: Try-outs for the Paris Ultimate Mecha Strike III Tournament! This school sends the two students with the highest scores!
Kim: Actually, the tryouts offer a partner to team up with Max in the Tournament.

Marinette: Why Max?
Kim: 'Cause he's unbeatable! He's a total rocksord! He's got the highest APM over anyone!
Marinette: APM?
Kim: Actions per minute? This tournament is his whole life! He's been grinding all year to level up. *Adrien's robot, NAD03, uses his special attack on Max's robot, MX-01. MX-01 is crushed and NAD03 wins. *

Caline: Adrien is now in the lead.
Kim: What happened, Max?
Max: Hmm. Awesome job. We're gonna make a killer combo. *Adrien high fives him and Marinette and the rest of their class are cheering for both of them. *
