Sabine: Marinette, don’t forget to clean your room after school today.
Marinette: Mom! It’s Friday, and I’m already doing something with Alya.
Sabine: Fine, I’ll go ahead and clean it, but don’t blame me if I come across any of your private stuff, like your e-mails, your diary—
Marinette: (makes a nervous face) Okay! I’ll do it, I’ll do it. (goes up to her mom, gives her a kiss, and starts to leave.)
Sabine: Have a nice day, sweetie!
Marinette: (as she closes the door) Happy birthday—I mean, have a nice day!

Adrien: (turns sad again and speaks softly) ‘Course not.
Nathalie: Happy birthday, Adrien. (leaves)
Scene: Outside of school. Adrien and Nino are talking. Meanwhile, Alya and Marinette are hiding nearby out of sight. Chloé and Sabrina are in the school but near enough to see what’s happening.
Nino: (as he blows bubbles) Dude, seriously? Has your dad always been such a downer? You’d think he’d at least remember what it was like to be young and wanna party a little.
Adrien: No, I’m pretty sure he was a downer back then too. Well, at least I tried.
Nino: (wraps one arm around Adrien) It’s your b-day, dude! Insist!
Iris : okay he’s here (looks at Marinette) Go for it girlie!
Y/n : You got this Marinette!
Alya: (encouraging Marinette) You can do it, you can do it!
Marinette: I can do it, I can do it!
Nino: You know what, I’m gonna have a little convo with your pops.
Adrien: Don’t waste your time. He’s not gonna change his mind.
Marinette: (pops up to look at Adrien while he’s not looking) I can’t do it, I can’t do it!
Iris and Y/n: Oh come on !
Alya: (facepalms) Uh, no you don’t, girl. You’ve been stalling all morning. Now’s the time. (The three if them pushes Marinette over to Adrien.)
Marinette: Ah! (she stops right in front of Adrien.) Um, he—Hey! (she gets nervous as she holds her gift behind her back.)
Adrien: (surprised, shyly) Hey.
Chloé: (as she watches what’s happening outside) Wait! Am I seeing what I think I’m seeing? Don’t tell me it’s Adrien’s birthday?!
Sabrina: (checks her tablet, gets surprised, and makes excusing noises while smiling sheepishly.)
Chloé: (facepalms) Ugh, do I have to do everything myself? Seriously, what are you good for? (walks toward Adrien.)
Marinette: (nervously) I, uh, I wanted to, umm, gift you a make—I mean, gift you a give I made—I mean…
Chloé: (yawns while Marinette is talking and then shoves her away) Out of the way. (she acts sweet.) Happy birthday, Adrien! (throws herself onto him and gives him a kiss on the cheek.) Mwah!
Iris: (looks at Chloé with a raised brow and mumbles ) damn she thirsty
Y/n: Iris ! (hisses at her) come on be kinder
Iris : You are only saying that because you feel sorry for her
(Back to the story line)
Adrien: (surprised) Yeah, thanks Chlo.
Marinette: (on the ground, to herself) Dummy.
(Alya facepalms again.)
Chloé: Did you get the gift I sent you?
Adrien: Uh, no.
Chloé: (pretending to be annoyed) What? Oh, those delivery guys. (Adrien listens to Chloé with a confused glare) I bet it was too heavy so they had to go back and get another guy to help. Those slackers. (wraps her arms around Adrien’s shoulders again.) I’ll make sure they get it to you by tonight. (gives him another kiss on the cheek) Mwah! (leaves, humming a happy tune to herself.)
Nino: (chuckles and playfully punches Adrien’s arm.)
Alya: (to Marinette, still hidden) Get back there! Don’t be a pushover, literally!
Iris: Yeah you got this okay don’t be a baby!
Y/n: we believe in you 100%!
Marinette: (sounding defeated) Mmm. (Alya and Iris looks frustrated and Y/n smacks their forehead and shakes their head)
Sabrina: (to Chloé) What did you get him?
Chloé: (mad) I didn’t, you did. (points at Sabrina and sounds really angry.) And it better be amazing, and it better not be late!
Sabrina: (cowardly) Mhm. (nods)
Chloé: (furiously) Ugh! (leaves)
(Sabrina taps on her tablet quickly while looking scared and following Chloé.)
Alya: C’mon, you can do it.
Iris : Yeah (massages Marinette's soldier like a wrestling coach) Go get em kid !
Y/n: Believe in yourself!
Marinette: (looking determined) Hm!
(A limousine arrives.)
Adrien: (to Nino) Gotta go. Photoshoot. (he gets into the limo and leaves.)
Marinette: (to herself, next to Alya,Iris and Y/n) Why can’t I just mean what I say?
(Alya ,Iris and Y/n give each other a look)
Y/n: Uh, say what you mean?
Marinette: Exactly.
