"You mean my design?" Marinette asked teasingly at Chloé, who just shrugged.

"No comment," Chloé answered, Sabrina giggled.

'Wait, what does she mean?' Lila thought to herself, suddenly very interested as she wasn't in Paris at that time.

Sabrina: I'm sure he will, Chloé. You're a born champion. Your design will blow everyone else's out of the water!

Chloé: Yeah, it will. As soon as I can get my hands on the sketchpad!

"Chloé, you realize you just implied that Marinette's designs are the best, right?" Alix asked their classmate amused.

'Marinette's designs are the best?! I know that brat wants to be a fashion designer, but I thought it was just a stupid pipe dream for a pathetic girl! Now I find out that everyone thinks highly of her designs including Chloe?! Ugh!' Lila thought, shocked but also very angry.

"My god, does this guy even have a life outside of being an idiot terrorist?" Kim groaned and pretty much everyone murmured in agreement. Jade and Issie looked at each other, knowing his identity.

Scene: Trocadéro. Marinette is trying to get inspired to draw some designs. She draws something and then rips the paper out.

Marinette: Geez, it's hard to be creative under pressure.

Tikki: Marinette, you save the world under pressure. I think designing a hat should be a piece of cake!

Marinette: Hm, a cake derby hat. Stylish and tasty. (They chuckle. Marinette keeps drawing new designs and ripping them out. After a while, she gets tired and looks up.

"Those designs are amazing, Marinette. Better than what I can draw. Why did you rip those out?" Nathaniel asked.

"I don't know. I just felt like they were missing something." Marinette answered, shrugging.
