(I'm going to start putting in POV's)

3rd person POV

"Thank you Marinette says to the couple as they leave. They look out at the celebration.

"So, this is what a party looks like?" Marinette questions.

"It’s warmer than I thought" Bridgette says.

"And what is that amazing smell?" Marinette questions.

They both close their eyes and inhale.

"Chocolate" they say at the same time.

Their eyes pop open. They laugh. Marinette looks back out at the party. Bridgette looks at Marinette. She wants to say so much, but she can’t think of where to start. Just as she finds her way, Rose interrupts.

"Your Majesty. The Duchess of Weaseltown" she says.

"The Duchess of Weselton" the Duchess corrects before turning to Marinette "Your Majesty, as your closest partner in trade, it seems only fitting that I offer you your first dance as queen. I mean who says you need a male partner to dance" Lila says.

The Duchess does a funny flitter of his feet, a hitch-kick, and a deep bow.

"One, two, three. Jump" she whispers to herself as she holds out her hand, head down, her toupee dips forward. 

Bridgette giggles. Marinette looks at Bridgette, stifles a giggle herself.

"Thank you...only I don’t dance" Marinette says to Lila

"Oh...?" Lila says quite offended.

"But my sister does"

"What?" Bridgette exclaims.

"Lucky you...." Lila says.

"Oh, I don’t think--" Bridgette says to be cut off by Lila grabbing her hand and yanking her away before she can protest.

"If you swoon, let me know, I’ll catch you" Lila says.

Bridgette looks back at Marinette, desperately.

"Sorry" Marinette mouths.

OUT ON THE DANCE FLOOR

The Duchess showboats, but she’s just awful. Anna tries to make the best of it.

"Like an agile peacock... CLUCK- CLUGGLE- CLUCK!" She says. Shee lands on her feet.

"Ow. Ow." Bridgette exclaims in pain.

"Speaking of, so great to have the gates open. Why did they shut them in the first place? Do you know the reason? Hmm?" Lila say getting in her face, suspicious.

"No" Bridgette says.

"Oh, all right. Hang on. They don’t call me the little dipper for nothing" she dips Bridgette back.

Marinette peeks through the crowd, can barely hold in her laughter. Bridgette shoots Marinette a funny, help-me looks.

"Like a chicken...with the face of a monkey...I fly" Lila says

With the Wayne's (didn't see that coming did you)

"The queen looks like a nice person" Stephanie says.

"Yeah seems like she has a great relationship with her sister too" Barbara adds.

"I don't know she seems suspicious to me" Damian says eyeing Marinette who was currently laughing at her sisters situation.
