"Well...here goes." Marinette whispered to herself as it began.

Scene: KIDZ+ studio.
Alec: Welcome to the finals of our KIDZ+ competition! When today, one lucky winner will be announced as our brand new KIDZ+ weather girl!
(Crowd chanting Mireille's and Aurore's names)
Aurore Beauréal: Hi!
Mireille Caquet: (giggles)
Alec: We started off with 5000 contestants. But with the help of our audience at home, we whittled our talent down to just these two amazing young ladies! So, let's welcome our fantastic finalists! To my right, Aurore Beauréal, and to my left, Mireille Caquet! Who will be the lucky winner? Vote now! Text 1 for Aurore and 2 for Mireille. And remember, standard text message grades apply.

Scene: Dupain-Cheng House. Marinette is chasing Manon.

Marinette Dupain-Cheng: Come on, Manon, give that back!
Manon: But I wanna be a fashion designer too!
(Marinette falls on the sofa.)
Marinette: Manon, please, it's not finished! You're gonna ruin it!
Manon: (giggles)
Marinette: Huh? (crashes with the table) Ah! Nnnngh...
Marinette: Hmmm... Huh? Ah! (giggles; walks to the curtain)

Everyone laughs as they see Marinette, their class president so uncoordinated around a kid.

Manon: I'm gonna vote for Mireille, she's the best!
Marinette: Hey, my phone!
(Manon grabs Marinette's hat.)
Marinette: Ughhh... Why did I agree to do this again?
(Tikki appears)
Marinette: Stay low, Tikki!

"Wait! What's that?"

"Woah that thing looks soo cool!"

"Hmph. Even I can get tons of those things. All I have to do is ask my daddy to get them."

Tikki: Don't worry. You know what? If you can handle Manon for a day, any villain here on out will be a piece of cake.

"Say what?" Nino looked at Adrien, wondering what's gotten his bud so worked up.

(Doorbell rings; Tikki hides)

Marinette: Alya?

"Hey it's me!"

Alya: Hey, I got a huge scoop for you. Guess who's on a photoshoot in the park?
Marinette: Now? Adrien is in the park right now?
Alya: As we speak!
Marinette: Oh, gosh! What...what am I gonna say to him?
Alya: The same thing as usual: (imitates Marinette) "I... uhhh... dahee... wha... ahh..."

Marinette covered her face and tried to hide in her seat.

Of course she failed at that, what with Alya right next to her and Adrien right in front of her.

Adrien...what must he think of her? She couldn't even see his face.

Everyone else just laughed. Most of them were more than well aware of her crush, it wasn't like Marinette was being subtle about it.

Marinette: Stop it.
Manon Uh, who's she?
Marinette: Whoops! I forgot about this little detail.
Alya: And who's she?
Marinette: This is Manon, one of my mom's friends' daughters. I'm watching her all afternoon. (Gasps) Oh no! I can't go out!
Alya: Let me guess. Another "you couldn't say no" favor?
Marinette: No, I just couldn't... say... no.

"Exactly! Marinette is soo sweet, she never hesitates to help out!" Rose added enthusiastically. Marinette thanked her softly while Alya just laughed.

Alya: Look, no problem! I'll look after your little detail for you.
Marinette: Thanks, but I'm responsible for her... Besides, I couldn't do that to you. She's... an absolute angel! (A crash is heard. Marinette screams and runs after Manon, who is carrying a pot and a spatula.) Manon! Put that down! Ugh! Come back!
