A  few months more go by as Chloe begins to soften up a bit!  Adrien glares at the author.  "Okay, okay, chill Adrien!"  The author says.  She thinks, goodness is he ever full of  it.  She is glad he cannot hear her thoughts.  

      Chloe sees Marinette walk past the fruit stand. She grabs up a few apples and smashes them across her head.  She laughs.  She laughs even more as the sticky juice from the fruit runs down Marinette's hair onto her face, and her clothes.  She thinks it is the funniest thing ever!  She snaps a photo and post it on her instagram page.  She uses the hashtag #LookitsUglyMarinette, #AppleHeadGal, #Uglyuglyuglyasever.

     Adrien who saw the whole thing.  He is not to happy. He balls his fist up.  He sneaks up behind Chloe, and he hits the wall behind her hard.  He watches as it falls and Chloe ends up in  a heap on the ground with a wall on her back.

   Marinette hears the crash. She looks up. She gasps when she sees the wall crumble and land on Chloe.  She is not sure how to react!  She tries to remove the bricks off the girl.

    Adrien runs over to Marinette!  "Marinette, look..." Adrien begins.  Marinette frowns. 

     "Save it Adrien! "  Marinette says.

    "What but Chloe put this on her page! " Adrien says. He holds up his phone to show the lastest post Chloe has on her instagram.

      Marinette rolls her eyes. 

      "Well that post is nothing in comparison to what she did last week!"  Marinette says.

    "Really? "  Adrien remarks.  He finds this hard to believe.

   "Yes, really!"  Marinette answers.

    "Okay, then what did she do last week?"  Adrien ask.

        Chloe shoves the bricks off, brushes off some of the rumble, sneezes and glares at them both!   "Okay, whose big idea was it to try to smother me with some useless pile of  bricks?"  Chloe ask, clearly unhappy with the lot of them.

        *Author's Note:  Adrien is a superhuman, this means he is a human, but has super strength which is why he was able to break the wall.  Also, Chloe has it too.  No one knows why.  Also, unknown to them both, Marinette can fly!  Alya can teleport!  Nino can make pear trees grow out of now where, and Kim can make someone turn into a statue if he thinks hard enough about it. -Summer Cheng*

       Marinette shrugs her shoulders.  Adrien does the same.  They both think, we are so not gonna tell her the truth.

      "Well, who did it? "  Chole says with her hands on her hips.

       "Chloe leave Marinette alone or else!"  Alya retorts.  She glares are her.  Her eyes turn purple.

      "Oh, great now she is angry!"  Nino says.

       "So, why should we care if Alya happens to be angry?"  Chloe scoffs.

       "She is kinda scary when she gets really mad!"  Nino says.

      "Yeah, who cares!"  Chloe scoffs at him.

        Marinette retorts,  "Do not talk to them that way!  They are better friends to each other than anyone else around here!"  

         "Ugly, Stand There!"  Chloe says.  She glares at Marinette and shoves her in the direction of Nino.

        Marinette  crashes into him.  "Ah!"  She screams!  She starts to fall backwards and bam!  Her head meets the pavement. She looks up in horror.   She thinks, so this is the end of me.

         "No!" Adrien screams as Marinette falls over backwards and her head hits the concrete.  He holds her in his arms as blood gushes out.  He feels her tremble in his arms. He looks at her with sorrow in his eyes.  No, he thinks, she cannot die, not like this.

       Chole gasp. She thinks,wait there is no way the shove was that hard,right?  She runs off in fear!  She tries to get far from there, but finds herself stuck inside a tree.  She looks down and sees she is caught up in the branches of a pear tree.   "A  pear tree!  What?  How on earth did it get here?"  Chloe says. She is afraid of heights and holds onto the branches tightly.

       Alya looks at Nino!  She thinks, did he just ?  She thinks, he did! She blushes.

          Alya goes to Adrienette, gently grabs her best friend from Adrien's arms despite his protest and teleports to a special place. She sets her down.   "Marinette, sorry!  Sorry, we were not better friends!" Alya says. She sobs as Marinette says,"Alya why? Why did this happen?" 

       "Marinette, no one knows."  Alya says.  She feels the tears continue to flow.

          Adrien slams his fist against the fruit stand.   It splits in half and fruit scatters everywhere.  He thinks, she cannot leave me. She has to be okay!  She just has too. He passes out from exhaustion.

      Meanwhile with Alya and Marinette....

          The  young lady looks at her!  She  sighs.  Out of pity she reaches out and touches her!  She has the gift to heal someone.  She shakes her head. She walks away.

          Alya screams, "No, Marinette! "  

             Adrien follows the voice to see where Marinette is now.  He glances at her now dead body. No he thinks, this cannot be.  She is not dead!  She is not! She is not!  She is alive...He holds her and says,"Marinette no one is truly ugly who has friends."  He kisses her and she flies.  He sobs. He does not notice her body as it flies away from him.  He does not see her open her eyes, look around in confusion and wave at him.  He does not see her land before him.

        Adrien tosses and turns. He calls out "Marinette, no!  No!  Please!"   He suddenly wakes up in  a  cold sweat!  He thinks, wait, what?  Was it all a dream?  Did she really not die in front of me?  He thinks, she has to be alive, right?  He hears the door to his room open and she enters it.  He looks up to see her...

    *Who on earth is this person who enters Adrien's  room?  Is he really awake or still in his dream sequence or not?
