Scene: Dupain-Cheng House. Marinette is on her balcony with Tikki.

"We should be watching  moi!" Chloe and Lila flicked their hair. Adrien glared at them.

Tikki: How about inviting him to a movie then?
Marinette: Right, Tikki. Can you imagine that conversation?
Tikki: "Hey Adrien, would you like to gah-- wuh, glah."

"This is very accurate." Alya laughed and Tikki giggled.

Marinette: Exactly. I can't help it. Every time I see him, (An image of Adrien appears in the clouds) I get all clammy and I feel like fainting.

"Needy." Chloe scoffed.

"Bitchy." Madison returned with a smirk.

Tikki: So... basically the only way you could have a normal conversation with him, is if you're blindfolded.
Marinette: Pretty much.

"Getting kinky Mari~" Kim wiggled his eyebrows and they threw popcorn at him.

Tikki: There is a very simple solution Marinette. It's called a cell phone. You just need his number.
Marinette: I know who'll have Adrien's number! (She calls Alya.)

"I never gave you my number." Adrien turned to Alya.

"Nino gave it to me."

"She threatened to break my equipment!" Nino shuddered remembering her holding a hammer above his vintage records.

Scene: Park. A crowd is gathered. Théo and Mayor Bourgeois are facing the crowd, with a giant statue covered with a sheet behind them.
André: I'm sure you've outdone yourself, Théo.
Théo: It was my honor. And I can't wait to meet Ladybug, I hope she'll autograph the photo I used as the inspiration for the statue.
André: Oh, it's nearly time. Ladybug and Cat Noir should already be here by now.

Adrien growled.

Scene: Marinette's room. Alya and Marinette are talking.
Alya: Look, we all know improv's not your bag, (gives Marinette a pad) so just stick to this script.
Marinette: But all the teachers say I don't sound natural when I read.
Alya: Then memorize it. It's pretty simple. You can do this. Just don't improvise. Got it?
Marinette: (looks at the phone and the script and gasps) Forget it! This is never gonna work.
Alya: (taps the call button on Marinette's phone) Too late. It's dialing. (She jumps behind Marinette's couch.)
(Marinette gasps and panics while holding her cell phone in one hand, not knowing what to do.)

"I've done this!" Madison laughed. The class laughed at Marinettes awkwardness.

Adrien: (recording) Hey, this is Adrien's voicemail. Leave a message.
Marinette: It's come to voicemail!
Alya: Leave a message! Don't improv!
Marinette: (gulp) Uhh, hello. Uh, Adrien's voicemail, uh, this is Marinette, who, uh, has a message for you, of course, cause it's, uh, your phone, so, umm, heh heh heh, call me see you later bye! (throws the phone onto the couch)

"Two words. Awkward Taco." Nino laughed. Marinette wanted to die.

(Alya looks at her, exasperated.)
Marinette: What? What did you expect me to say? "Hey, hot stuff, this is Marinette, I'd ask you on a date to a movie, but I've got such a crazy crush on you that the only way I can talk to you without foaming at the mouth is over this stupid phone." Pretty ridiculous, right?
