In the library at school, Mr. Damocles reminds some of the students that it is almost the end of the school year which means it is almost time for the dance for the end of the year. Zoé and Marinette are elected as representatives to organize the dance.

"As you know, it's almost the end of the school year, which means it's almost time for our end-of-the-year dance! That's why we ask you to select the class representatives who will organize the event. Let me remind you that traditionally reps should be one 8th grade student and one 9th grade student."

"The eighth graders elected Zoé Lee, Denis Damocles." Marc said.

"And (Y/n) with Marinette Dupain-Cheng has been elected to represent the ninth graders." Alya added.

Zoé smiles cheek-to-cheek at Marinette.

"Well, perfect, then! We'll meet with you both tonight to find out what you've planned. Surprise us!" Damocles smiles.

{~With (Y/n)~}

You take Zoe and Marinette in your room while talking. " We're going to make a great team! Wait 'til you hear my ideas—" Marinette turns around to look at Zoé, who seems to have stopped moving.

"You okay, Zoé?"

Zoé wide-eyed. "(Y/n)'s room  is... beautiful!!"

"Oh thank you." You smiled. "I guess I could show you around. That's my Barbie collection. My art supplies. Final Fantasy Actions Figures, 7, 8, 10, 13 and 15. And my deck of duel monsters. And this is why I"m an anime fan while I draw."

Zoé takes a look at you sketch book.  "Woah... that's gorgeous!"

"Thanks! But it's just the design I combine anything online. That's the main dress I'll be making for the dance with Vanitas."

Marinette chuckles. "Come on! Let's head to the patio!"

On the balcony, Zoé and Marinette go sightseeing with a pair of binoculars.

"Outdoors at the Trocadero?" you pondered.

"Under the vault of the Grand Palais?" Zoé excited.

Marinette gasps. "The Eiffel Tower! It's the perfect place! That's where we should have our first kiss! It has to be exceptional, magical, miraculous— (gasps) I know, I need to learn how to say "I love you" first. I'm good at dreaming about it, but when it comes to actually doing something? It's almost impossible. Although... you could help me!"

"Help you with what?" Zoé asked.

"I was thinking we could ask your stepfather about using the Eiffel Tower for the dance. But... maybe you don't want to bother him with that."

"No, totally the opposite! Let's go talk to Anaximandre!"

"Um... who?" you wondered.

"I mean, let's go talk to my stepdad, the Mayor of Paris!"

As you are about to enter the building, Marinette stops and panics for a moment.  "I just realized that if your "lovely" half-sister sees us together, she'll make your life a living nightmare!"

"Chloé doesn't have that power anymore!"

You, Zoé and Marinette proceed inside. "Hello, Armand! So, did Justine like the movie yesterday?"

"Hello, Zoé! Justine loved it so much that it's all she talks about now."

"Awesome! Hello, Sophie!"

"Hello, Zoé! How are you doing?"
