"Welcome to the finals of our Kidz+ competition where today one lucky winner will be announced as our brand new Kidz+ weather girl!" The host exclaims as the tv showed the two top competitors exiting the limo and heading inside the building.

"We started off with 5,000 contestants but with the help of our audience at home, we've littled our talent down to just these two amazing young ladies. So let's welcome our fantastic finalists! To my right Aurora Beauréal!" Aurora was a blonde girl with baby blue eyes who had her hair in pigtails, a short floofy blue dress with white polka dots, with white trimming at the bottom and white lacing around the waist, yellow heels with a blue umbrella covered in clouds. She gives the audience a peace sign.

"And on my left Mireille Caquet, who will be the lucky winner? Vote now! Type one for Aurora and two for Mireille. And remember standard text message rates apply," The camera turns to Mireille, a shorter girl than Aurora, short black hair with bangs, light chocolate brown eyes, who wore a light blue sweater with storm clouds in the center, white comfy pants, and orange flats. (Saaame) She gives the audience a shy look.

I look away from the screen when Manon runs past me soon followed by Marinette saying "Give that back!" Manon, a sweet little girl with pigtails and purple overalls with flowers had stolen a hat Mari was working on and was running around the house, she jumped onto the couch next to me telling her "But I wanna be a fashion designer too!"

Marinette goes to jump on the couch when Manon hops over the couch and hides under the table when I hear my phone ping and read the text sent from Luka: What are you doing?

Before we had parted ways last week we had exchanged phone numbers, we had been talking on and off today since he had classes. I type my response and send it: Watching my friend struggle to babysit, you?

"Manon please it's not finished, you're gonna ruin it," I heard Marinette plead with Manon and turn my head around and watched as Marinette crawled under the table and bonked her head. I had offered to help but she told me not to worry about it and that Manon was her responsibility. I lightly chuckle as she crawls around the room before I see Manon hide that hat on a doll behind the curtain. Mari sees the figure behind the curtain and giggles as she sneaks up to it.

Pulling the curtain back she sees the doll and the hat when Manon plops down next to me with Mari's phone stating "I'm gonna vote for Mireille, she's the best!" Marinette quickly grabs her phone away from Manon. "Hey, my phone!"

Manon steals the hat again and Marinette lets out a sigh asking "Why did I agree to do this again?" I shrug while sending another reply to Luka, explaining how Manon had stolen that hat and Marinette were struggling to keep her under control without any help.

The doorbell rings. I get up from the couch saying "I'll get it," I open the door to reveal Alya. "Alya hey!" I exclaim with a wave. "Hey girl, is Marinette here?" I gesture for her to come inside, earning Mari's attention. "Alya!" "Hey! I got a huge scoop for you! Guess who's at a photo shoot in the park?!" Alya shoves her phone in Marinette's face and I peek over her shoulder to see a photo of Adrien posing for a photo at the park. Not soon after the first days of school, Mari had told Alya and I that she developed a crush on him after explaining what happened, and the rest of the week we got to see Adrien for who he really was: a sweet adorable kind-hearted boy.

Marinette smiles as she swipes the phone asking excitedly "Now?! Adrien is in the park right now?!" Alya hums in confirmation. "As we speak." "Oh gosh! W-what am I gonna say to him?"

She asks and Alya and I give each other a look before I answer with a smirk, my arms crossed as I nudged her. "The same thing as usual," Alya and I then start doing an impression of Marinette getting her tongue-tied whenever she is around Adrien. "I uhl... Di eh, gwah..." We burst out laughing when Mari pointed a finger at both of us with a smile.

"Stop it the both of you!" "Uh, who's she?" We hear Manon asks as she walks through Marinette's knees and we all stare down at her before looking at Mari. "Oops, I forgot about this little detail." "And who's she?"

"This is Manon, one of my mom's friend's daughter, I'm watching her all afternoon," She lets out a gasp. "Oh no! I can't go out!" "Let me guess another you couldn't say no favor?" I purse my lips into a smile as I nod while Marinette tries to deny it. "What?! No! I just couldn't...Say...No..." "Look no problem, (y/n) and I will look after your little detail for you," Alya says, crossing her arms as she stares down at Manon. "Don't even bother Alya, I offered to help and Marinette declined it." "Well I appreciate it but I'm responsible for her. Besides, I couldn't do that to you two she's...An absolute angel."

"Which is why she's rummaging through the pots and pans in the kitchen," I tell her just as a clatter comes from the kitchen. Marinette lets out a shout before chasing Manon around who was holding pots and pans. "Manon put that down," She grabs a pot and puts it down only for Manon to grab it again.

We continued to watch her chase Manon around before she finally grabbed hold of her and dragged her over to us as Alya told her "You're just a pushover Marinette, I have to babysit my sisters all the time, which makes me an expert in dealing with angels."

"Same, my parents would have me watch my siblings/ cousins whenever a date night was needed," I chime in when Manon asks, sending an accusing glare to Alya:

"Who are you anyway?" "I'm a mythical unicorn from the world of Rispa! Disguised as a totally fabulous human girl. I grant magical wishes but only to little monkeys who behave," Manon laughs.

"No, you're not...Are you?" She denies it before blinking her eyes in confusion as she considers the possibility. Marinette and I cover our mouths with our hands to hide our giggles. Alya grabs hold of Manon and flies her around before plopping her on Mari's shoulders, placing her hands on Manon's ankles. "Okay, let's all go to the park!" We all head over to the park, where we find Adrien taking photos at the fountain.

Author: So my laptop decided it wanted to in a sense die on me...It works fine but the screen has gone completely black...So yeah. I would use my PC but it hates my dorm's wifi so much I have to fight it to connect and stay connected. Not that it mattered anyway everything still would take forever to load so I'm using my Pawpaw's laptop for now so updates might be a little slow while I get used to his laptop. Thanks for being patient, see you in the next chapter!
