Marinette walked outside of her bakery, quickly being able to notice Alya and Nino waiting for her a distance away. She ran over to her friends, waving at them.

"Hey," Alya pulled Marinette into a hug before letting her go. "So, you asked us to meet up with you, and well, here we are."

"Yeah," Marinette nodded and took a deep breath. "There's just been something that I've been meaning to tell the both of you, but you have to understand and believe me." She started off, saying. Nino and Alya just nodded their heads, confused. "Let's talk while having some ice-creams. Come, it's on me."

Alya and Nino followed Marinette to Andre, the ice-cream man, who was busy giving ice-creams to three little children. The three of them waited in line, and soon when the children were done with their orderings, it was their turn.

"What you have to tell us... Is it about Chloe and Lila?" Alya asked Marinette, as Nino walked up forward to order his ice-cream.

Marinette slowly nodded. "Yeah, it is. Not surprised that you were able to guess it though. This has been in my mind for so long, and I've always wanted to tell you. Unfortunately, you're not the first ones I'm telling this."

"Well, I guessed that it was about Lila and Chloe, because," Alya began to say, "you know when we were on a double date, at that lace with so many activities?"

"Alya, I've only went on once date with Adrien and I'm never going to forget it," Marinette nodded. "So yes, I remember."

"Well, Sabrina came up to me and Nino," Alya looked down. "She told us... To keep a lookout for Lila and Chloe. She told us to watch out for them, and that whatever they said, I shouldn't believe them because they were lying."

"Oh." Marinette had always wanted to know what Sabrina had told the two, but she never got to ask. Now Alya was telling her.

"Next!" Andre called and Marinette moved forward. She ordered a vanilla ice-cream, and after her was Alya. Marinette paid for all three ice-creams, before the three of them headed to the park.

They sat down on a bench and both of them turned to Marinette, waiting for her to speak up and spill what was in her mind.

"So get this... I'm from the past!" Marinette began. "I already know what's going to happen in my world because I'm living my life twice now." She took another huge breath, before she started from the beginning, and explained everything as best as she could, talking about how Chloe and Lila were pretending to be her friends, how they got everyone against her, how they defeated her in the end, taking everything that belonged to her. Alya and Nino sat there with their mouths hanged opened.

"What, you don't believe me?" Marinette sighed. "Alright, test me. Ask me about what's going to happen in the future, and I'll answer."

"Okay, um..." Alya was thinking. Finally she snapped her fingers with a bright smile. "There's a math test coming up on Wednesday. How are we all going to do?"

Marinette widened her eyes. "You both will do great." She had totally forgotten about the math test, which shouldn't have happened because the math test was when Chloe and Lila made her look like she was a cheater.

She could still remember it like it happened just yesterday. Chloe and Lila had hacked into the teacher's computer, copying down the answers for the test questions from the computer. Then they had taped the paper with the answers just underneath her desk.

She remembered how Sabrina had stood up and pointed out that she was cheating. Sabrina had even walked up to her desk and took out the answer sheet from under the desk, showing everyone and making her look like a cheater. Now Marinette understood; Sabrina had been forced to call her out.

"Alright, we'll see if it really happens, but I have to study just in case," Nino shrugged.

"Just remember Nino, question number 3's answer is option 2," Marinette remembered. "In my last life, you put option 1, and that was the only question you got wrong."

"I... Okay, I'll believe you," Nino shrugged. He then looked off at a distance and pointed. "Ooh, here comes Adrien. He's probably here to do his photoshoot."

"Did you know this was going to happen, Marinette? Is that why you decided for us to go to the park?" Alya smirked as she turned to her friend.

"No, I didn't know this was going to happen, and you know why?" Marinette folded her arms. "Because in my last life, I never met up with you guys in the park and tell you all this! My last life was my first life."

"Oh yeah, that makes sense," Alya stood up from the bench. "But aren't you excited to see Adrien here? Come on, let's go meet up with him."

Nino was already running towards Adrien, who was with Nathalie and Gorilla. Another person that Marinette noticed too that was also walking beside Adrien was... Gabriel!

Marinette gasped. After getting Adrien in trouble, there was no way she could face his father. What if he banned her from seeing Adrien forever?! What if he actually decided to replace her as his designer. Marinette never knew what getting Adrien in trouble meant until now.

Alya was already dragging Marinette towards the others, telling her how she was going to enjoy seeing Adrien. Marinette could feel her heart beating faster as they approached Adrien. When they got there, Marinette suddenly realized that there were three more figures who were with Adrien.

"Lila, Chloe, Sabrina?! What are you three doing here?!" Suddenly she forgot all about facing Gabriel, and she turned to the girls as she waited for their answer.

"I invited them," Adrien spoke up, surprising Marinette. "Father allowed me to have some companies during the photoshoot, but I am to not get distracted."

Marinette could feel her heart drop, as if someone had just torn her heart into two. You invited them, but you didn't even consider inviting me. She suddenly didn't know what this meant anymore. Where were she and Adrien standing? Were they even together anymore?

"Alright Adrien," A man walked up to Adrien. "It's time to start taking the photos." Adrien followed him, listening to his instructions as usual as he took a seat.

"Marinette, why do you look so upset?" Lila walked up to her with a smirk. "When we asked you to go with us to see Adrien yesterday, you quickly rejected us. Now we asked Adrien if we could come along, and you're jealous that he didn't invite you? What happened to no more jealousy, hmm?"

Marinette gritted her teeth, then faced Lila. "Actually Lila, if you didn't know, I texted Adrien earlier, telling him how busy I was today, so he couldn't invite me. But I actually got my works done faster than I expected, because I had Nino and Alya to help me. So we went to the park to hang because we haven't done that in so long, and that's when we saw you guys. So actually, Adrien would have invited me if I wasn't so busy before."

She felted sick to her stomach, lying, but she didn't care anyway. This was Lila, and Lila would do the same thing; lie to her to try and get away with stuff.

"Oh well, whatever you say," Lila chuckled. "Now that you're here, I'm quite surprised that Adrien didn't even say hi to you. Are you two even still together?"

"Yes, we are!" Marinette clenched her fists. Why was she doing this? Why was she letting Lila get to her? Well maybe it was because she wasn't so sure about what Adrien was thinking anymore. She wasn't even sure if they were still together. Besides, Lila was right; he didn't even mutter one hello to her.

She was about to turn and leave when Alya grabbed her arm and pulled her back with a smile.

"Are you seriously going to let her talk to you like that?" She spoke calmly. "If you leave, then you're proving to her that you and Adrien are not okay. If you stay, then I'm sure you can be able to prove her wrong. Besides, a lot of things might just be on Adrien's mind that he forgot to stay hello to you."

Marinette looked down, thinking about what her friend had just said. Finally she looked back up with a smile and nodded. "Alright Alya." See, this is why you're my true, best friend!
