While everyone is entertained by their conversations, Marinette and Adrien walk back to their seats to find Alya now sitting next to Nino. This doesn't bother them though.

"Where were you two?" Alya asks,

"I- uh- we- we were exploring! Yeah, yeah. Exploring." Marinette says.

"Cool! What'd you see?" Nino asks.

"We're going to let you guys find out for yourselves! Don't wanna spoil it!" Adrien says.

Alya is suspicious. But doesn't think too much about it.

"Okay, let's slow things down and watch something that's already happened before I let you go." I say, knowing very well they aren't exactly being "let go."

[ Theme Song ]
Scene: Miss Bustier's classroom. Denis Damocles is addressing the class.
Denis Damocles: You only have one day to work on your fashion piece, and it must be your own design. In ten hours your fittest presentation will be judged by none other than the great fashion designer Gabriel Agreste, the father of our very own student Adrien Agreste. In fact, Adrien will model the winning design in his next photoshoot. And now, to announce this year's theme: derby hats.
Marinette: Derby hats? (Chloé looks at them and makes a thumbs-down gesture)

Scene: Collège Françoise Dupont. Marinette paces in a hall, looking at her sketchbook and talking to Alya.
Marinette: Derby hat, derby hat, derby hat, derby hat...! I don't have any derby hat designs.

"Now you do, Marinette!" Tikki says.

Marinette: I've got top hats, caps, even two-horned hats! Need a beret? I'm your girl. A sombrero? No problem-o. But a derby?! You know what? It won't even matter, 'cause I'll probably make a total fool of myself at the event, most likely trip over my stupid derby and collapse on Mr. Agreste; give him a full-blown concussion and Adrien will hate me! I'll never be a world-renowned fashion designer. MY LIFE IS OVER!

"Dramatic much?" Nathaniel says.

"Yeah, definitely" Marinette replies sheepishly.

Alya: All this over a derby hat? Let me see your sketchpad, girl. There must be something in here.
Marinette: Forget it, I'm a disaster zone. I'll probably mess everything up in the end. (Adrien walks over)
Adrien: Wow, Alya, (Marinette panics and hides behind the bench) those are some awesome designs. I didn't know you had such mad skills.
Alya: Uh, thanks Adrien, but I can't take the credit. These sick designs belong to Marinette. (Marinette gives a weak, embarrassed wave) Off the chain, right?
Adrien: You're super talented, Marinette. You seriously have a good chance of winning.
Marinette: Well, um, yeah! I... like-- um, designs that-- um, (Alya makes motions to Marinette, who tries to interpret them) go... upwards? Um, while stopping... I mean, uh-- uh, um, thanks?
Adrien: Sure, and uh-- good luck. Maybe I'll be wearing your derby at father's next photoshoot. (leaves)
Alya: Girl, you gotta get a grip next time. But did you hear? Adrien thinks you're good enough to win! (they cheer)
Sabrina: Did you hear how impressed Adrien was with Marinette's desi--
Chloé: Of course I heard! Her? Win the contest? As if. When Adrien sees my design he'll convince his father to award me the winner. Hm!
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 this sketchpad!

"No wonder her hat looked the same!" Alya says.

Alya: (back at the bench; checking her phone) Only have nine hours until show time.
Marinette: Yikes! I'm off to my secret garden of inspiration. I'll see you later. (runs into a wall) AH! I'm okay. I'm okay, I'm okay.
(Marinette almost runs into another wall, then screams. Alya chuckles.)
