"You can stop waving now," Chloe remarked dryly, filing her nails. "They're out of sight."

You might be wondering, what happened to elicit such a change between their relationship.

Lila.

That was one thing Marinette had to thank her for. She showed Marinette who her real friends were, a.k.a Chloe, Alix, Kim and Max.

Chloe didn't believe Lila from the start ("Ridiculous, utterly ridiculous. Does she expect me to believe that Jagged Stone, the one who lives in my hotel every monthowns a cat? Everyone knows he's allergic to them!") but Max was disillusioned when some of the things Lila said didn't line up – "I got tinnitus from saving Jagged Stone's cat from an airplane!" "You would've become deaf. Not suffer from tinnitus." "Don't be silly, Max!" – case in point.

Kim and Alix, on the other hand, came to know when Lila mixed her names up ("I know Michael Phelps – he's such an amazing skater, Alix. I could give you some tips from him!" "Michael Phelps? Isn't he a swimmer?") and (Marinette snorted when she heard that) said Michael Phelps was a skater.

That certainly didn't earn her any points with those two.

In the end, Marinette could say she would take her life right now than the one before because until Lila came, she never really noticed how whiny the class was.

She shuddered when she remembered the never-ending requests they had – and they expected her to do it for free.

Thank god she got away from them.

In response to Chloe's statement from earlier, Marinette mock-glared at her. "I know, Chloe. I was about to stop."

"Sure, Mari," sniffed her best friend.

Marinette protested feebly. "Really!"

"Uh-huh," Chloe continued to file her nails, completely uninterested.

Before Marinette could retort, the door burst open and two balls of chaos rolled into the car with one poor Max.

"Ha! I won, Kim, you owe me 30 Euros!" Alix crowed triumphantly.

Kim, as expected, disagreed. "No way, pipsqueak! I won."

"I did."

"No, I did."

"I did."

"Can you both please sit properly?" Chloe pushed them with a surprising amount of strength. "You're wrinkling the car leather."

In response, the two of them stuck their tongues out.

Marinette snickered at the expression on Chloe's face – exasperation, pure exasperation.

Max finally up righting himself, stood up unsteadily as he walked to the only empty seat next to Marinette.

"Oh no, you don't," Kim said, pulling Max onto his lap.

Max squeaked, his cheeks turning a fiery shade of red.

Alix cackled, "Poor Max. Kim, you really shouldn't do that. You're going to give the poor boy a heart attack."

Marinette sighed happily for her friends. She was honestly elated that Kim and Max had found their soulmate in each other. They were just adorable!

She fairly beamed when Marinette saw the love-sick smile on Chloe's face. It meant she was talking to Kagami.

Alix hadn't found hers yet and according to the girl herself, she wasn't really bothered by it either because she was ace.
