It was finally the weekends, meaning Marinette could sleep in and maybe sketch an outfit. Maybe go out for ice cream later, and talk over the plan about Hawkmoth.
At least that was how she planned to spend it anyway.

A freezing bucket of water splashed onto her face. Startled, she got up immediately.
"Tikki, it's Saturday morning. Why would you do that?." Marinette whined.
"Marinette, your friend is here."
"What?"
Marinette looked out the window and sure enough, Aletta was headed towards her bakery.
"Hide, Tikki!"
She quickly got up and put on her usual outfit.
Running to downstairs, she greeted her parents.
She reached to door and opened it just as Aletta was about to touch the handle.
"Hey! What are you doing here?" She said opening the doors.
"I wanted to hangout!" Aletta cheerfully spoke.
"Today? Why?"
"No reason. Only maybe because I felt lonely?"
"How about the park?" Marinette asked.
Aletta's eyes gleamed.
"Perfect."
Confused, she let the Aletta drag her.
When they reached the park, Aletta looked like she was looking for something. Or rather someone.
"What are you looking for?"
"Who." She corrected.
"It's your date."
"Excuse me?With who?"
"I saw Felix sitting on a bench somewhere, and since he hasn't spent any time with his- Oh look! There's Felix!" Aletta exclaimed.
"Felix, our of all people?"
Before she knew it, she was sitting beside Felix with Aletta leaving her behind.
There was an awkward silence between the two.
'This is not how I imagined a Saturday morning would turn out.' She thought.
"Is there a reason why you chose to sit there?" Félix asked, not looking up from his book.
"N-no." Marinette stuttered out.
"Really. Doesn't matter. I actually I've been meaning to talk to you anyway."
"O-oh? What about?"
"Rossi." Félix sighed.
"I'm listening."
"You want to expose her right?"
"Kinda gave up on that idea a long time ago. What are you getting at?"
"I and Chloe if she's willing, can help you expose her. We can't expose all her lies at once. No, that would take days."
"Months."
"Right,so I suggest to slowly expose her, using recent lies."
"Why? Besides, you've already helped me."
"I came to realize that helping you, will give me certain advantages."
"What I meant was why are you helping me? You don't seem to be the person who would help without something in return."
