"Why thank you! As are you!" "Now now, how does it feel to be back on the big screen!" Chloe beams, "it feels great! I am so ready for everyone to see this film! There's lots of action, little bits of romance-" "Which I'm not happy about," Luka interrupts. Alya laughs. "Anyways, it's one of the cinematic pieces that I'm most proud of!" "That's wonderful, now, we cannot not talk about your music! Will we get anything soon?" Chloe and Luka smirk, "ahh, we'll see now, won't we?" "I'll take that!" Alya smirks, "you better contact me and Marinette to get the first listen!" "Of course! Speaking of Marinette, she designed my dress for today!" "It's gorgeous!" Alya looks at the camera, "Mari, I'm proud of you girl!" The three friends laugh. "Luka, I hear you have a cameo in this?" Luka laughs, "sure do! Look out for me people!" "Well, anyways, thanks for talking to me guys! You should head in, no?" The couple nod, hug Alya and head into the screening.
After the premiere of Chloe's film, the couple arrive home to see Anarka and the kids. "Hey! What are you lot doing up at," Luka looks at his watch, "10:30pm?" "We made you dinner!" Jacquie exclaims as Luka goes to hug his mom. "Hi mom!" He beams. "Luka, my boy, you need to eat up! Look at yourself!" Chloe sighs, "I've told him to eat more but he won't listen to me..." Luka chuckles, "ok,ok, I'll listen to you both, ok?" Chloe places a kiss on Luka's cheek, "good!" "Pizza's done!" Mathieu exclaims. They all sit at the table and Chloe takes off her earrings. "Now, are you three sure you don't want to come with your father and I to the American premiere?" She asks. "No! It's fine-" "There'll be lots of famous people..." Chloe sings as she removes her necklace. "Nah, we're good..." Picking up her pizza slice, she says, "ok...fine..." Luka notices her sadness and says, "ummm, mom, will you be ok with watching them or~~~?" "Yeah su-" He motions at Chloe as he looks at his mom. "I mean, no, no, I'm actually busy! I'm meeting up with a few of my lassies..." "Aww, that's a shame, guess you'll have to stay with Manon-" "NO!" Jacqueline exclaims. She turns to Mathieu and begs him, "let us go with mom pleaaaaase!" Chloe lights up at her desperation. Mathieu grumbles, "but I don't wanna be a million miles away from Emma-" "Gosh, yes, we get it, you're having the attachment phase...but I do NOT wanna be stuck here worth Manon-" "Aww," Luka chuckles, "what's wrong with Manon?" "She's...CRAZY! She's so obsessive of this guy and really likes him and she's really loud and-" "Hey, everyone has that phase, I did," Chloe embarrassingly admits. Luka nods, "She's right..." Jacqueline sighs, "I'll never be like that!" The other three laugh at Jacquie's comment. "Sure, sure..."
The night before they leave... Chloe's PoV Luka and I arrive back into our bedroom, after having a visit at the recording studio. Kicking off my shoes, I collapse on the bed. "You ok bee?" I faintly nod, "just exhausted from today...do you have any twizzlers?" Luka chuckles at the sound of my snack. "Does that really help your voice?" He questions as he grabs one. I giggle as he lays beside me. Sitting up, I nod, "of course!" He sits up and sighs happily, "I love you Chloe..." I smile contently, "I love you too...Luka..." He connects our lips. "Let me get changed..." I say as I grab the twizzler out his hand. We change and then I quickly walk past the kids' room to see if they are asleep or awake. Jacquie's light is on. "Jacquie? Dear?" "Oh, hey mom..." "Hey, what's up?" "No, I'm just...struggling with my homework..." I sit beside her, "let me see..." Smiling, she says, "it's maths..." "I wasn't too bad in maths...cosine rule...ah, I remember this! So, normally in a question, there's an angle isn't there?" Jacquie nods. "Ok, so you have the equation?" "a²= b² + c² -2bc(cos(A))?" "Yeah, that big A? That is the angle. Because there has to be an angle for trigonometry..." Jacquie's eyes widen, "mom, how do you remember all of this?" I laugh, "I don't know...anyways, the opposite side of the big A must be labelled as?" "As 'a'!" "Good, and then you just randomly label 'b' and 'c' to the other sides."
Luka's PoV I wait for Chloe and she doesn't return for a while. I walk towards Jacquie's room once I hear the sound of Chloe. "...and so, to find one of the other sides, for example in this one you have to find the side that isn't 'a', you'd have to insert the numbers and then rearrange." I hear Jacquie's gasp of realisation, "that works! Oh my gosh mom, you're a miracle worker! Thank you so much!" I hear Jacquie and Chloe hug and Jacquie kisses her mom on the cheek. Chloe chuckles, "now, you're lucky I'm not telling you off for being up this late doing homework...I'm sorry we can't be there to help you that much..." Jacquie speaks, "no, it's ok...we have support sessions at school anyways...and this was some nice mother-daughter time..." I hear movement and retreat to our room. A minute later, she returns and sees me lying there. "Hey, sorry for making you wait..." I shake my head, "it's ok...it's a good thing, you helping Jacquie..." She blushes, "you saw?" I chuckle and nod. She rolls her eyes as she dims the lights and smiles once she gets in the bed, "Luka...I don't like that they're growing up so fast..." I sigh as she cuddles me, "I know...me too...I mean, we were basically their age when we met..." "Basically..." she mumbles. I feel her hot he'd lay against me and she sniffs. "Are you ok?" "Yeah, I'm just tired..." I nod suspiciously. She seems like she's working herself too hard recently. "Love you bee..." "Love you too Lukabear..."
2 days later... "Come on Mathieu hurry up!" Mathieu grumbles, "do I have to go?" I groan, "Mathieu, how many times have I said? Adrien and Marinette agreed with us that both of you need some time apart!" Dragging his feet into the car, he grumbles again, "time apart...time apart...I need time apart from this goddamn family-" "Mathieu!" I exclaim, shocked, "that's no way to talk to us-" He lets out a humph and crosses his arms as he sits in the taxi. "What happened dear?" Chloé asks, with Jacqueline dragging from behind. "Mr big shot said that he needs 'time apart' from, and I quote, 'this goddamn family!'" Chloe drops her suitcase, "wh-what... No way he would think that...not my sweet, baby boy..." "Chlo?" I ask, "are you-" "How could you..." she says as she turns to Mathieu, "Mathieu, YOU ARE 15. Why would you say something like that?" She takes out his suitcase, "fine. Go. I'm not stopping you-" "What, wait, mom-" Jacquie tries to stop Chloe. "Chloe, calm down-" I try to say. Mathieu jumps out of the car. "Mathieu, you are NOT staying. We have provided you with a great life, yet we try our best to keep you both humble, and honest," I exclaim, "apologise to your mom." Mathieu looks at his mother, who was shaking. "Chlo," I worryingly whisper. "L-Luka, y-y-you don't get it...I saw my OLD SELF in him...I don't want any of them to be like that...what have I done wrong?" I firmly grasp Chloe as she faints. "Mom?" Mathieu exclaims as he runs to her side, "mom!" Jacquie runs to her side as well, "mom!" I check her pulse, "steady pulse," I check her breathing, "oh thank god, she's fine..." I check her temperature, "just as I thought...there was something wrong with her last night...she's got a fever..." Picking her up, I carry her back into the house, Mathieu and Jacquie following behind after taking out the suitcases from the taxi. "Is...is she going to be alright? Oh god, mom! I'm so sorry, this is my fault and I'm so selfish..." Chloe mumbles, "no...I...don't want you...to be like...me..." Jacquie nudges me, "dad, what does mom mean?" I look at Chloe and she nods, "tell them..." Gulping, I nod, "but just so you know bee, we love you, and your past self doesn't matter to me...only you in the present..." She softly smirks, "thanks Luka...I love you too..." ———————————————————————— Next part will be them talking about their parents' past life... -Mouse
