Quarantine Changed Us

Chapter 12

Alix got home and quickly went up to her room. She threw her rollerblades to the side and fell face first on her bed. 

"Why can't they just accept the fact I'm friends with Chloe now"! She yelled to herself. "Instead they have to be nosy and be mean to Chloe. My Chloe"! Alix froze and turned to face the ceiling. 

"She's not mine" she sighed. "Feelings are so hard"! 

There was a knock at her door. She jumped up and ripped the door open. "Can't people leave me alone today"! She looked up Jalil's concerned face. 

"Bad day"? He asked. "I don't want to talk about it" Alix said. "Well you need to calm down before you get akumatized" He said. "Wanna talk about it"? Alix nodded and followed him into the living room reluctantly. "Shouldn't you be downstairs"? She said, jumping on the couch.

"Dad saw you come in and told me to make sure you were ok" Jalil said. "Last thing we need is another murdering spree". "Technically you killed people by turning them into mummies" Alix smirked. "I bet I have a higher murder count though". "Oh really"? Jalil grinned. "If you're right, I'll get you ice cream". 

Alix raised an eyebrow, clearly intrigued. "From"? "André's" he said. 

"Never been, so you're on" Alix started counting, trying to recall how many people while Jalil looked at the video on the ladyblog. "I shot a whole bus of 10 plus 3 others" Jalil smiled, feeling confident he won. 

"I killed 10 (that you can see in the episode) plus Cat Noir so he counts as at least 5 people" Alix said. "What"!? Jalil obviously missed that detail. 

"So, icecream" Alix stood up and got her shoes on. "We'll play video games when we get back". Jalil smiled in amusement and the two siblings left the Louvre in search of André the sweethearts ice cream maker.

After Chloe had dropped Sabrina off at her house, she ordered the driver to drive around the city. It was evening and the city was still busy. Chloe spotted André Glacier as she passed the Eiffel Tower. 

"Wait, stop here"! She said quickly. Unlike Adrien, Chloe didn't need a bodyguard. "I'll be right back" she told him and got out. "Eat this and your love will stay true"! André served the couple before Chloe. 

"Miss Bourgeois, I never thought I'd see you here" he said. "Well I'm here now" She smiled. He was surprised at how nice she was. "Your lover is helpful I see" André picked up his scooper. 

"Strawberry for her hair and blue moon for her eyes" he passed her the ice cream and her face lit up. "I can see I got it right yet again"! 

"Thank you, André" Chloe raised the ice cream and returned to the car. "What flavor did you get, Miss Chloe"? The driver asked as he started up the car. Chloe smiled. 

"The best kind".

Alix and Jalil pulled up to the Eiffel Tower where Chloe had posted a selfie with her ice cream hidden. Alix knew she didn't like anyone at the moment so she most likely got whatever she wanted. 

"Come on sis" Jalil snapped her out of her thoughts and she got out of the car. They walked up to André, who served someone else. "Eat this and your love will materialize"! The person walked away and he spotted the siblings.

 "Jalil, my most interesting customer, I see you brought your sister along this time". Jalil laughed. Alix assumed André was intrigued by the fact Jalil was aromantic. "She's never tried your ice cream before so I thought today was the day" he said. 

"Step on up, my dear". Alix walked closer to the cart. "I'll be right back" Jalil held up his phone to show a call from their dad and walked away. "What's your name"? André asked. 

"Alix". 

"Ah Alix, I see lemon for her hair and blueberry for her eyes". Alix stared at the ice cream he held out for her. She took it from him. "Can you fall in love in a day"? She asked. 

"Love knows no time, if you're meant to be, you'll be together" He answered. "Thanks André" she thanked him and walked over to Jalil. "Who is the lucky person"? He asked. Alix smiled. 

"The best person".
