Zoe checks the time..

"Oh.. No! It's 3:30! I- We. Have school tomorrow."

"Oh. Yeah, you're right!"

"Well... I should get going!"

"But it's dark." Luka says looking at zoe

"Its fine.. I'll manage."

"No, it's way to dangerous. Just sleep in my bed.. Ill sleep on the couch."

"Huh? Wait, no! I wouldn't want to be a burden."

"You won't be. I promise."

"Okay.. Of you insist.."

(In the living room)

"Isn't that a little uncomfortable to wear to sleep?" Luka asks looking her up and down.

"Oh, yeah you're right. I shouldn't have changed out my pajamas." Zoe replies

"Well... You can always wear my hoodie and some sweat pants of mine."

"Okay! Thanks!" Zoe says

Luka laughs "You're such a clutz.." Luka sighs. "Just like Marinette." He says under his breath.

"Huh, what was that?" Zoe questions

"Nothing, just... Try to get some sleep okay?"

"Okay! Good night Luka."

"Good night." Luka turns his back to the door and leaves

"I'm sorry." Juleka apologies

"Oh, no! It's fine." Zoe says, clearly accepting her apology

"What are you doing in up so early anyway?" Zoe asks.

"I always stay up waiting for Luka." She responds

"Ohh... That's umm.. very uh cool? You into vampires?" Zoe asks Juleka sitting next to her.
