[April 30th, 2016]

15-year-old Marietta walked down the stairs of the house.

Marietta: I can't find the brush Mom.

Bridgette: Its in there, but you're running late.

Marietta sighed as she grabbed her backpack on the floor.

Marietta: Fine, let's go.

Bridgette grabbed her purse and car keys and exit the house. Bridgette drove Marietta to school as usual.

Bridgette: Have a great day, Nette.

Marietta: You too, Mom.

Marietta walked up the steps of College Francoise Dupont.

In New Haven, Sabine is at the police station. She's waiting patiently for someone. A tall man with tan skin, Hazel eyes, and bushy hair walked towards her.

Officer Ken: Hello, how may I help you?

Sabine: My name's Sabine Dupain. My daughter is Marietta Dupain who went missing at a supermarket 12 years ago. I'm here to see if you have found her or have any leads to where she is?

Officer Ken: Oh. You came here just last month. I'm sorry but we have no specific leads or where she is.

Sabine nodded slowly. She was used to disappointed answers.

Sabine: I'll never forget what she said to me the night she went missing: 'Mommy, i'm sleepy'.

Back in Paris, Marietta is in her bedroom doing some homework until Lilian walked in.

Lilian: Hey, you're mom is stuck at work. She won't be home till 10'o'clock.

Marietta: Thats fine. Its 4'o'clock anyway.

Lilian: How about we have a little walk together, you know, just you and me.

Marietta: Like a niece and aunt walk?

Lilian: Yeah, what do you say?

Marietta nodded eagerly.

The two walked out the house and began Thier little walk. They both talked and laughed about random things. When they reached the park, Marietta noticed Adrien Agreste and blushed fiercely.

Lilian: Why are you so red, Nette?

Marietta: I-I'm not red.

Lilian: I know you Marinette. What's up?

Marietta: Okay. I have a crush on that boy over there

Marietta pointed at Adrien, who was finishing up his photoshoot.

Lilian: Adrien Agreste? Girl he is hot. But you do know that when Bridgette find out she'll be mad.

Marietta: Yeah, please don't tell her.

Lilian: I won't. Anyway, he's coming over here so act cool.

Adrien stood in front of Marietta.

Adrien: Hi Mari.

Marinette: H-Hi A-Adrien!

Adrien looked at Lilian and flashed her a kind smile.

Adrien: Hello Ma'am.

Lilian: Hello, I'm Lilian Cheng, Marinette's aunt.

Adrien: Wow Marinette, you look like you're aunt.

Marinette: W-Well t-they d-do c-call i-it g-genes...hehe...yeah so uhh... thanks?

Adrien: You're welcome. I have to go, Father doesn't like when I'm home late from a photoshoot. See you tomorrow, Marinette! bye Ma'am!

Adrien walked towards his limo and got inside. The Gorilla drove away from the park.

Lilian: He's polite for a model.

Marietta: Yeah, ever since he gave me his umbrella that one rainy day, I fell in love with him. He's so kind, sweet, polite, cute, and so perfect!

Lilian: Come on, let's get back home. I'm ordering pizza.

Marietta: Okay!

The two walked back home.
