The weekend comes around.  Marinette is still unsure what to think about the whole surprise kiss Adrien gave her. She really rather not think about it.  The trouble is the more she tries not too think about the kiss they had the more she thinks about it anyway.  

        Luka is not to happy about the fact Adrien got to kiss Marinette!  He likes her.  He is the type of guy who believes you have to fight for your girl if you want to keep her.  He decides this time he will not act as if the other guy is not around. He will attack him!  

      Adrien has no idea what Luka plans.  He notices Marinette ignores him. He thinks, great!  Just great, now she hates me.  He sighs.  

      Marinette arrives on time for work. She ignores both Luka and Adrien. She goes for a swim to calm the nerves. She knows it will not help what really bothers her.  She still enjoys the water.

     Luka smiles in her direction. Adrien notices and frowns.  He does not like the fact that Luka stares at the life guard who has caught his eye.  He sees him as someone who just gets in the way.  

    Luka takes the opportunity to talk to him. 

 "Adrien, I do believe you have it all wrong!"  Luka says.

  "Please, do tell me what it is you mean!"  Adrien says.

   "Marinette and I have a special thing going on with one another!"  Luka says.

   "Yes, I can see that!" Adrien says sacarstically. 

 (*sarcastically-in an ironic way intended to mock or convey contempt.   found at www.google.com  dictionary)

     "Oh, and what is that suppose to mean?"  Luka ask.

    "If you don't know that is your problem then, not mine."  Adrien remarks with a smirk on his face.

     "Not so fast  boy, Marinette is mine!"  Luka says.  He punches Adrien in the face.  

    "Ouch, what did you do that for?"  Adrien says.

     "Too bad so sad!"  Luka laughs at him.

   Marinette  finishes her swim just as Lila makes another appearance. She thinks, ugh, not her again!  

     Lila trips on the sand. She falls over a seashell and ends with a hurt ankle. She hobbles off and thinks, ugh!  I should just forget all about Adrien.  Besides,it looks to me like that other guy got the better of him anyway.  She winks at Luka as he walks away with a bit of a limp to her step.  She goes to the hospital and finds out the twisted ankle is only a sprain. She is glad it is not broken, but is still upset when she finds out she can't model for a few months.  It is due to the fact the ankle needs time to heal completely. Otherwise, she may have permanent damage to it. She decides to listen to the doctors orders.

       Meanwhile, Marinette is back on shore where she dries off. She gasps when she sees Adrien hit Luka in the stomach.  She is not sure what to make of  this.  What is she to do?  She takes a closer look and sees the black eye Adrien has.  Whoa, she thinks, that looks awful?  Poor Adrien!  No wonder he hit him, it must have been to defend himself. 

     Although, I must say I have no clue as to why Luka did this to his eye. Before she ask them what this is all about, Luka reaches up and lunges at Adrien with other fist.  This time it has a sharp object in  it.  He hits Adrien with the pebble.  Adrien falls down, and Luka looks at  his competition in shock at how carried away he has gotten lately. 

    Marinette steps closer to the two men both who like her. She is at odds as what to make of the fight . She frowns. She looks at Luka like he is some one she does not even know anymore.

     "Luka, how could you?  You hurt him! "  Marinette says.

      "He made fun of me !  He does not believe how important we are to one another!"  Luka says.

     "Luka, I thought you were better than this!  Now, I see how wrong I was! "  Marinette says.

     "Mari, I..." Luka says.  

   "Don't Mari, me!  Only Adrien calls me Mari!"  Marinette says with anger to her voice.

     "In fact, don't speak to me not now.  Not ever again! " Marinette says.

     "Marinette, you can't mean it!"  Luka says.

      "Oh, but I do mean it.  Adrien is a gentlemen, which is something you aren't."  Marinette says.

          Marinette bends down and wraps a t-shirt around the scratch mark on his face. She goes to her cooler, pulls out some ice and places it into a towel.  She brings the towel back to Adrien. She gently places it over his black eye.  She sighs as he slowly sits up. When Adrien catches her glances at him, she looks away in embarrassment.  

       "Oh, I uh, I gotta go!"  Marinette says. 

       Adrien watches her leave. He wonders, why  is it  that she was, so helpful to him?  He knows Marinette is one woman who confuses him the more he gets to know her.   

       Marinette rarely ever has to rescue someone as a life guard. She likes her job, but is still unsure what she thinks about Luka, or Adrien. She just knows she hates the fact they got in a fight today, especially since it  was about her. She is certain of it.  There is no doubt about it the life guard boy, and the hmm -come to think of it she has no idea what it is Adrien does- it is no doubt they fought because of her. She does not want to be the reason for Adrien to get hurt.
