Louis's POV
The next morning everyone got up quite eagerly. No one wanted to waste a single minute that could be spent exploring, but I didn't have the heart to tell them that our Paris wasn't much different than the one they had just left.
I was one of the last to get up, and as I went downstairs I discovered that every bowl we own was being used to house someone's cereal.
The warm sunlight shined through the window, brightening the entire space.
"So, now that we're all here," my brother glared at me.
"What? I need my beauty sleep!"
Hugo ignored me. Nothing new there.
"We should probably go over a few things before we go into town. First of all, at this point in time, my parents are borderline famous. They took over my grandpa's company and completely reworked it, making it even more successful than before. So don't be surprised if you see magazine stands or news channels randomly blasting our faces on it."
By the bored expressions on everyone's faces, I could tell that this didn't surprise them in the least. Of course Adrinette would go on to be successful multimillionaires who appear in an article or cover story every few weeks.
"Second, if you see someone familiar... do not approach them. Each of your future selves have been alerted about our little situation, but they are the only ones who know. Even their kids are clueless, and when you meet them tomorrow we want it to stay that way. Finally, feel free to explore the house when we get back. Theatre and game room's in the basement, and though it might be a little cold for swimming... the hot tub is always available." I could see everyone's jaw quite literally drop. I think they might enjoy their stay at Casa de Agreste.
"So in three hours, everyone meet at love lock bridge. For every purchase you make, just let the check out employee know that you are charging your items to the Agreste's, and the twins and I will digitally confirm your orders from our phones. I recommend you make the majority of your purchases at Agreste stores, in which we have a 100% off owner discount. And remember, we might be rich but our bank account is not endless... so please only buy things you need for the next two weeks. I think that's everything... let's head out!"

Kim's POV
Everything about our trip to the future was weird and seemingly impossible, but somehow it made sense.
I don't know how to describe it, but it just felt right.
The Agrestes being successful business owners... now who didn't see that coming?
Max a scientist, Sabrina a vet, Nathanëal an artist, Chloe a lawyer, Alya a reporter, and Nino a dj.
Every detail seemed to fit each person perfectly, and it felt natural, but no doubt about it I was still freaking out.
However, I had completed most of my freaking out the night before and was ready for some free stuff!
This was going to be great.

Alya's POV
When we reached the heart of our city, everyone split up.
Nino, Mari, Adrien, and I stuck close together, and made our way towards the mall entrance.
Other than some store and decoration/ interior design changes, the familiar building wasn't much different than it had been twenty years before... but that didn't mean I wasn't excited to take a look around.
"So what do we need?" My boyfriend asked, looking over my shoulder at the messy list I held in my hand.
"All we need are some school bags, grade 11 textbooks, clothes, toiletries, and any other little mementos we might want."
"Okay," Mari replied looking at the layout map, "there's a Bed Bath and Beyond downstairs, a book store just to the right that's supposed to sell school certified textbooks, and I'm sure we can grab school bags and personal items almost anywhere."
"What about clothes?" Adrien asked.
This time I took a look at the map and smirked when I realized what other store was in the building.
"I think we can make a stop at Agreste's."

After picking up books and toiletries, Mari and I made our way towards the Vera-Bradley and the boy towards Nike and Adidas to check out school bags, and any other little mementos we may have wanted.
After meeting back up in the food court, we learned that we had a very different sense of "necessary supplies" than the Agreste kids most likely envisioned.
Nino showed up with a new pair of earbuds, I picked up a few candy bars and a new phone case from a kiosk, Mari got one of those really soft blankets at Vera-Bradley, Chat Noir themed, of course, and Adrien somehow ended up with a vintage Ladybug and Chat Noir comic book, a "Ladynoir forever" bumper sticker, and a "you're the cats meow" T-shirt for Mari. Apparently there was a Ladybug and Chat Noir store that he had raided.
I would have to stop by there too.
Our final destination though, was none other than five star department store "Agreste's" complete with escalator and those fancy perfume kiosks lining the entrance.
"Wow."
"Wow indeed."
"I can't believe you guys own this place!"
"Alya! Keep your voice down! Someone could hear!"
"Sorry," I bashfully whispered.
But wowza, this place was nice. Obviously it was mostly clothing designed by the company itself, but it was also stuffed with appliances, toys, mattresses, and seasonal decorations.
"Hello," a woman greeted us at the entrance. "Welcome to Agreste's. My name is Tracy. Is there anything I can help you find today?"
"I'm just curious," Adrien asked, "but I thought Agreste's was a fashion and clothing company?"
"We are," the woman responded, never once letting the smile drop from her face, "this is actually our only location that doubles as a department store. The brand focuses on clothing lines, but decided to make some deals and test the affects of branching out."
"It looks like it's working." Nino muttered, staring at the crowd of people browsing and checking out items.
"It is!" She continued, "This location has been very successful, but Mr. and Mrs. Agreste have decided to stick with their standard luxury clothing store around the rest of Europe. This is the only store of its kind."
"Thanks for your help!" I responded as I pulled Mari to the women's section.
"Check out in twenty?" I confirm with the boys.
"Yup, try not to get lost." Adrien shrugged before following Nino across the lane.
I took a peak at the price tag of a cute top, according to the tag, designed and modeled by Marinette herself.
I cussed under my breath after reading those numbers.
"Alya!" My bestie whisper scolded me.
"Sorry girl... I'm just really glad we're getting this stuff for free."
