One thing that cracks me up about kids media that shows the characters being high school age is how unrealistic it is that they don't use any swear words. Like most all high schoolers swear at least twice in one conversation to their next class, and that's the "good kids". yes there are people who just don't swear a lot, and it takes their friend group a minute to recover after hearing them casually say fuck.
But this is a whole friend group who don't swear at all. The hs friend groups who never cuss always think they're better than everyone else for it. And the people in these shows who do think they're better than everyone else are likely the people who would swear the most.
This doesn't even get into the weird shit high schoolers talk about.

Happy 48th birthday to Stefán Karl🌟!!
I've been working on this idea since the start of the year, I drew all the characters individually which made me notice just how much they look like stickers, which gave me another idea!
I've decided to open a Redbubble to sell these designs as stickers as well as many other products!
I'm planning on donating 50% of the sales to a charity or organization or fundraiser in Stefán Karl's name!
Once I make enough in a month or so, I'll be making posts showing how much I've gained and to where I donated it to ^^
I'll also be uploading more designs with time and showing them here!

“How could we possibly make a monoracial Black girl character as the main lead though 🥺? She can’t be funny AND into fashion, that’s unrealistic and won’t appeal to the kids!”
That’s So Raven and True Jackson VP are literally right there, but ok

Long silence? Yes. Did u miss me?? xo But In my absolutely best defence I have been trying SO HARDD to come up with the words to describe what has happened to me these last few weeks and literally I can’t had my at my PC like:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(The 3 stages of me trying to find the words)
I’m sorry. Delight in the Word of God speaks of a relationship developed with God by getting to more Him through the Bible. It is built over time so don’t worry if it isn’t instant.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
OmD do you know what just occurred to me?
Falling in love with God as His metaphorical bride went like this:
The first encounter was incredible I felt amazing, then ever since there’s been ups and downs in my life but I always have this deep set joy even when I’m sad bc I feel secure in Him bc He’s never let me down, or not brought me out of any tough sitch - and often experience that initial wonder in a million Little wonderful moments each day. And I wouldn’t go back in time to that initial moment bc these ones are great too it’s all great. I love God, not the initial moment or the feeling I had.
So maybe falling in love with a man is like that? I was asking God and here’s my answer typed live.
Wow!
Tumblr media
I’m in a Megara era. God guided me to buy red hair, then Hercules and then Drake dropping a song about a Christian girl who prays for him and bought red hair? Wow. (Not saying go listen to drake but I did hear the song) I’ll put it here:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
This picture looks like a star athlete embracing the ground happily after a long fulfilling night with his hard work behind him. Passed out from the exhaustion that comes from giving a really good day your all, knowing you’ve done everything you could to set up your life right. I bet it was a Friday.

True-ly Miraculous Fashion
Tumblr media
I have read many fanfics where it is Marinette that has a bunch of celebrity connections. But, no one ever acknowledges that Adrien would have some connections as well since he is both a famous model on top of how he also has acting experience since it is canon that he voiced Cat Noir for that Ladybug & Cat Noir movie that was done on the show and scene a little bit in the Animaestro episode.
So, I am giving Adrien a friend that I think would be really great with him. The one and only teenage fashion designer and Vice President, True Jackson. And True is going to be delivering some hard truths once she hears about the lies that a certain liar has been saying about her.
(Gabriel Salt, Lila Salt, Alya Salt, Class Salt.)
Paris was known as the fashion capital of the world. There was not a single high-class designer that has not had their designs shown in Paris. Probably some of the most well-known designers were Chanel and Dior. But, there was also Gabriel Fashion which was primarily a Parisian fashion company. Of course, Gabriel mainly was known in Europe and some parts of Asia as well. It was not as popular in North America, but they had their own fashion companies to have as their favorite.
Probably one of the biggest fashion companies in the world was Mad Style. It was a North American-born company that was known for having some of the best clothes ever as well as extremely fashionable accessories as well. Mad Style had always been a company that is known for being unique while staying fashionable at the same time.
But, probably the main thing that was actually a worldwide shock, even for Mad Style, was when the CEO had hired a literal teenager to be his VP of Youth Apparel. No one ever could ever accuse Max Madigan of being a sane person, but no one would have ever thought that even he would hire a teenager as a vice president. But, as the world became to know True Jackson and see her talent, they actually all understood why the fashion idol had hired her.
True was, for lack of a better word, a true talent. Not only was she excellent at designing and making her own clothes, but she was a real sweetheart as well. Even the most stuck-up and bratty models and celebrities have changed their tune after meeting her. It is like True has a way to make everyone around her be the best version of themselves that they can be. And it is not even just the Youth Apparel clothes that she does. Her skills have been shown in winter jackets, business suits, formal dresses, and many other types of clothing. Her skills do not seem to have any limit.
True was a big inspiration to many people, both boys and girls. Being able to have as much success as her at such a young age was amazing. Plus, there is also the fact that even when she got lucky with her actually getting the job in the first place, she did not just keep rolling with that. She worked hard and did everything that she could to prove that luck was not the only reason why she was given the job.
No one actually knew about True's influence on the fashion world more than Paris's own Adrien Agreste. As not only Gabriel Fashion's main model but also Gabriel's son, Adrien had been with his father when he had tried to have a collab with Mad Style. While Gabriel had been meeting with Max, Adrien was welcomed into her office by True since they were the closest in age. He got to know her as well as her friends, Lulu and Ryan. Adrien had a blast with them, especially since he generally loved how Lulu just let all the crazy come out no matter what others thought of her. Plus, he laughed every time he heard True's catchphrase, "You say what now?" The way that she said it was just really funny to him.
Adrien was really lucky that he spoke English so that he had someone to talk to. As much as his father made him the main model for the company and probably also planned for him to take over the company one day, Adrien could admit to himself that he knew nothing about fashion. If it was not for the fact that he had to wear his father's outfit designs every day, he would probably end up in outfit combinations that most would call "fashion disasters."
Adrien traded numbers with the trio before he had to leave when his father failed to convince Max to collab with him. And while his father had been furious, Adrien was just glad that he was able to have made more friends. He just did not tell his father since there was no way he would allow him to be friends with someone that worked for a rival company.
It did not stop him from talking to True, Lulu, and Ryan whenever he was able to get away with it.
Such as when he was on his way to school one day. Since The Gorilla cared a lot more about Adrien than he ever could care for Gabriel, even when he was his boss, he pretended to not hear anything when Adrien's phone rang. And while normally just Adrien's phone ringing would not be an issue, the ringtone playing was the one Adrien had for when True would call. It was a surprise for Adrien since the time difference made it hard for them to call a lot, so he happily picked up.
"Hey, True," Adrien greeted her.
"What's up, Sunshine," True greeted him back in her usual bright and bubbly tone.
"Just on my way to school," he tells her. "Which makes me question even more how you are able to call me. You are six hours behind me, so isn't it like two in the morning where you are?"
"Normally, it would be," True was obviously excited about something. "But we are much closer in time when I am sitting on Mr.Mannequin's private jet and flying toward the city of love."
Adrien instantly perked up at that.
"You're on your way to Paris," he was almost jumping for joy, but then he remembered that he was sitting in a car.
"I have a few more hours until we land, but I will probably be there by the time you get out of school," True says.
"Why are you coming," Adrien asked her. "Not that I am not excited to see you, but I am still curious."
True giggled. "I know you mean no offense, so your question doesn't bother me. I am coming to Paris because Mad Style is opening up another branch there. We have a few locations in France in general, but this is the first big store to open directly in Paris."
"We are known as the fashion capital of the world," Adrien says.
"Says the kid with no fashion sense," True joked.
"It's not like I'm embarrassed about that," Adrien blushed slightly as he was teased by his friend. "It is simply a fact that I know nothing about fashion."
"The irony is so real right now," True giggled. "Son of a fashion designer that lives in the fashion capital of the world does not know anything about fashion."
"Well, not all of us can be born with a needle and thread in their hands like you, True," Adrien replied.
True just laughed in response.
"Anyway," True got back on topic. "Mad Style finally opening a bug shop in Paris is a big deal. And after I helped open up the store at a big mall back home, Mr.Madigan thought that I would be a good person to send to Paris to help with the opening. Especially since the store will have a bunch of my designs in it."
"And let me guess, Lulu and Ryan are also with you," Adrien knew that True would always take her friends everywhere with her.
"You know it," True said. "Say 'hi' guys."
She must have held her phone out to the others because Adrien then heard the voices of Lulu, Ryan, and also True's boyfriend Jimmy.
"Hey, Adrien," Lulu said.
"S'up, Model Boy," Ryan called out.
"Rock and roll, Adrien," Jimmy shouted out.
"Remind me to introduce Jimmy to Jagged Stone while you guys are here," Adrien chuckled. "They would probably get along other than Jimmy's love of mail."
"If you introduce them, I doubt we will be able to get Jimmy to come back home with us," True commented, laughing.
"Maybe this is my way to try and get you to stay in Paris for longer," Adrien also laughed at his own joke.
"I know that you are still mostly new to going to school, but you have to have friends other than me, Jimmy, Lulu, and Ryan," True says.
"Trust me when I say that you guys are much better company than my class," Adrien tells her.
"There is more to the story than you are telling me, isn't there," True was probably raising her eyebrow.
Adrien sighed. "You have no idea, True. I just want you to get here so that I can get away from the drama."
"If I could make the jet go any faster, I would," True giggled. "I do expect the full story once I do land, though."
"I promise to tell you," Adrien said.
"Good," True replied. "I will see you then."
"See you then," Adrien says back. "Oh, but when you do hear it, at least try and stay calm. The last thing I want is for Hawkmoth to take advantage of that and turn you into a supervillain."
"You say what now," True gasped in her signature catchphrase.
"Crud," Adrien knew there was something that he had forgotten to tell her.
*****
Adrien got out of the car after he finished talking with True. He had arrived early, so he did not need to end their conversation that quickly. Plus, there is no way that True was going to let him hang up until she learned everything about what had been happening with Hawkmoth. And once he told her everything, he was sure that he could feel her anger from where he was. The only thing worse than True when she is having designer block, a fashion designer's version of writer's block, was True when she was angry.
He just knew that he would have to calm her down once she actually does land and they get to meet up. At least, unless Lulu was the one that calmed her down first. Adrien actually thought that if there is one person that is more of a ball of sunshine than him, it would be Lulu. There is no one that he knows that is more perky, happy, and optimistic than Lulu. And that says something considering the times he's met Tikki, the literal representation of good luck.
Normally, he would say that those like Rose and Marinette were close to being like Lulu. But currently, neither of them was very "sunshine and rainbow." And for very different reasons.
For Rose, it was because Lila had definitely twisted the once sweet and caring girl into something the complete opposite of her original self. Not only did Rose break up with Juleka, but she and Ivan also left Kitty Section because Juleka and Luka refused to let Lila join. Since Luka and Juleka were not under Lila's spell, neither of them believed it when Lila would brag about being trained in music by Jagged Stone and Clara Nightingale. Rose and Ivan wanted Lila to join the band while Juleka and Luka did not. And since Luka and Juleka were the ones with all of the band equipment other than Ivan's drums, they were the ones that were basically in charge of the band. But even then, since they refused to let Lila join, Rose and Ivan left. It was not that bad because Kim, who could also play drums, and Lyon, who could sing very well, were more than happy to join the Pirate Twins. They even changed their name to Wild Heart instead of Kitty Section. Plus, Juleka was still heartbroken since Rose broke up with her because Juleka refused to believe any of Lila's lies.
And with Marinette, because of Lila turning many of her friends against her, she was not as happy-go-lucky as she used to be. Marinette might still have him, Juleka, Nathaniel, Kim, and their friends outside of their class, but it was still upsetting to her that so many of their friends and classmates would willingly drop her so easily just for someone that tells pretty stories and claims horrible things about her with no proof. Even when Marinette would actually ask for proof for any of Lila's claims about Marinette bullying her, Lila would turn on the waterworks and they would never once ask for any proof. Which definitely made the class hypocrites since they would always ask for proof whenever they said that Lila was lying and yet never asked Lila for any proof at all.
The only ones that were still in both her and Adrien's good books were the only ones that actually seemed to have brain cells. And that would be their friends Nathaniel, Juleka, and Kim. Of course, they also had Lyon and Vallia, but as if either of those two would ever believe anything that comes out of Lila's mouth. 
They also had friends outside of their class, such as Luka, Kagami, Marc, Aurore, and Mirelle. Their class was really the only one that actually believed Lila. All others knew that she was nothing but a razor-tongued liar that cared for no one but herself. Not that the Akuma Class, as their class had been nicknamed, ever believed anyone when they would call out Lila's tall tales. It really did get to the point where everyone was questioning how they even got to high school when they fell for every single stupid tale that Lila told. Especially when they only got dumber and dumber as time went on. Claiming to be a direct descendant of Albert Einstein? Hardly anyone could believe that the Akuma Class actually believed that. Especially since Lila was almost constantly making others do her homework for her.
Adrien, Lyon, Vallia, Marinette, Juleka, Nathaniel, and Kim were all in agreement that their class really could not get any dumber. They did not want to be mean, but they could not deny how stupid their classmates really were. Markov, Max's own creation, had even taken to going over to Kim when nothing he tried could get Max to realize that Lila was lying. Something that was very upsetting to the little robot since Max literally made him and he still would not listen to him. Since Kim was the one that used to be Max's human best friend, that was why Markov chose to stay with him when Max stopped listening to him.
As Adrien walked into his class, he was thankful that Lila was not there yet. He really did not want to deal with her trying to latch onto his arm as she usually does. He saw Lyon and Vallia sitting in the back as they usually do, along with Marinette and Kim currently talking to them, so he went over to them.
"Morning, guys," he greeted them.
"Hey, Adrien," Kim greeted him.
"Morning, Adrien," Marinette smiled at him.
"Geia, Adrien," Lyon said 'hi' to him in his native tongue.
"Hey, Sunshine," Vallia greeted him.
"No liar, yet," Adrien asked them.
"Considering none of us have gotten yelled at by the class sheep, she is probably running a little late or is once again on one of her fake trips," Marinette said.
"With how often she gets out of school, it's anyone's guess how she is even able to pass her classes," Vallia says.
"Probably because she 'asks' others to 'help' her with her homework," Lyon rolled his eyes. "Though, given that they are dumb enough to believe even her most ridiculous tales, it's a shock that they have been passing their classes as well. Especially given how often they drop everything to rush to her side at her beck and call."
"This is probably the one time that I am grateful that Sabrina is Chloe's minion," Adrien said. "Chloe doesn't care about Lila in any way, so Sabrina is following her lead even if she still believes everything Lila says. If Sabrina ever left Chloe for Lila, I can only imagine how stressed and run-down that Sabrina would get from how much stuff that Lila would probably have her do for her."
The others definitely all agreed with Adrien on that. As much as they disliked Sabrina not seeing that she was basically Chloe's minion instead of her friend, that did not change how Lila would probably make her a slave if Sabrina ever fully joined her side. They wished that Sabrina would get more confident in herself. If she did, then maybe she would learn that friendship did not mean that she had to do everything that her supposed friend wanted.
"Let's not talk about that headache anymore," Marinette changed the subject. "There are a lot of things more important than her."
"Such as literally anything else in the entire world," Kim commented.
"Well, there is some news that I know that is good for both Marinette and Juleka," Adrien says. "At least, when Juleka actually gets here and she can be told as well."
"What," the friends all asked him.
"Well, I got a call from a friend that lives in the United States and she told me that Mad Style is finally opening up a large branch of their company in Paris," Adrien left out that his friend was also a VP of Mad Style. 
Marinette nearly shrieked in excitement, something Adrien expected since she is the fashion fangirl of their group.
"Mad Style," she nearly exploded with happiness. "I love their clothes! They are always so unique and fashionable and colorful. And they only got better when they hired True Jackson!"
"I remember one of their first businesswear lines after they hired her," Vallia said. "A base of  classic black suits and dresses, but with additional colorful patterns and fabrics to make them more interesting."
"I didn't know that you were into fashion, Vallia," Marinette looked at the dubbed 'Flower Princess' in shock.
"I am not really into fashion in a general sense, but I appreciate it," Vallia shrugged. "I like looking at fashion magazines and my grandmother in the states likes sending us American fashion magazines to show us the differences in style to that in Greece."
"There have been times where Vallia really questions why some fashion items exist," Lyon said. "Such as when she saw an article about some weird thing called 'clear-knee mom jeans.' Probably one of the weirdest things I have ever seen in terms of fashion."
"Like... as in..." Marinette was speechless.
"Yes, as in there is literally clear plastic over the knees of a pair of mom jeans," Vallia answered. "You can see the bare knees of the person that is wearing them."
"That is so bad that it sounds like something Hawkmoth would have one of his akumas wear," Adrien commented.
That got them all to laugh. They have all been victims of Marinette's rants about how horrible the fashion of the akumas is. Though, Lyon will always laugh whenever he is around Juleka whenever she is ranting about how she looked as an akuma. She is always saying that she looks like a giant thing of gum that was possessed by a clown.
"I am suddenly really glad that my akuma was probably one of the better-looking ones," Kim said.
"I certainly do not mind how you looked," Vallia giggled. "The only thing I take offense to is that you were called Dark Cupid and I am from Greece. Cupid is Roman and Eros is Greek."
"You guys really don't like Romans, do you," Adrien raised an eyebrow.
"It's not that we do not like them nor that we dislike Italy," Lyon explained. "Some of the older Greek families, such as ours, just dislike how it is basically ignored that the Romans just copied our beliefs and tried to make them their own just by changing their names. At least the ancient Egyptians had their own unique deities, unlike ancient Rome."
"You guys would not have happened to read the Percy Jackson series, have you," Adrien asked them.
"We have," Vallia giggled. "And we definitely approve of the way the rivalry was shown in the books."
"Anyway, tell me more about Mad Style coming to Paris," Marinette was practically vibrating with excitement.
Adrien chuckled at her excitement. "My friend said that the company sent over one of their vice presidents in order to make everything run smoothly."
"I hope it's True Jackson," Marinette nearly squealed. "She is such an inspiration. And her clothes are some of the best that I have ever seen Mad Style produce."
"Much better than that women's wear woman from Mad Style," Vallia remembered seeing and reading about the woman in her grandmother's magazines. "Wasn't she turned into a child when she fell into the Fountain of Youth in Peru?"
"That was just a ridiculous rumor," Adrien shook his head. "While it may be easy to believe in magic because of all the magical superheroes and villains running around Paris, I highly doubt that the Fountain of Youth is actually real."
"Maybe someone should ask one of the heroes if it's real," Kim suggested.
"And even if the heroes do not know, maybe they could ask their kwami," Lyon said.
Marinette then made herself a mental note to remind herself to ask Tikki about that later. After all, who else would know about the Fountain of Youth other than the kwami of creation? It might have even been something that Tikki had created a long time ago.
After Chloe had revealed the bee miraculous in front of the camera as well as using the miraculous to change into Queen Bee on live tv, there were a lot of people that now were aware of the kwami. But, it was lucky that it was only for those that were actually at the fashion show. And that was because kwami do not show up on camera, so no one watching tv at the time had seen Pollen. At least a little bit of luck was working that way.
But, because of that, it eas now easily explained for those like Adrien, Marinette, Lyon, and Vallia to know what a kwami was without revealing their identities as Cat Noir, Ladybug, White Wolf, and Beautifly. Sometimes, they got really lucky when it came to things happening that helped them keep their secret identities.
Unfortunately, their peace and pleasant time were soon ruined as the rest of the class came into the classroom. Which also, sadly, included the liar. Chloe and Sabrina took their regular seats at the front on the right side of the classroom. Nathaniel and Juleka joined the five friends as they all also sat on the right of the classroom. 
Ever since Lila and her lies started dividing the class, it showed what had happened as they all chose to sit differently in the classroom. On the right side of the classroom was Adrien, Marinette, Lyon, Vallia, Kim, Nathaniel, Juleka, Chloe, and Sabrina. On the left side was Lila, Alya, Nino, Rose, Alix, Ivan, Max, and Mylene. It was a pretty even split on who was on Lila's side and who was not. At least, that was how it was in the classroom, but the rest of the school was not as gullible as Lila's sheep. No one believed her and the only thing that was keeping Lila from knowing was her own delusions about how smart and popular she was.
Marinette and Adrien stayed in the very back of the class, as far away from Lila as they could get. Of course, Lila tried to make up some lie that would force Adrien into staying next to her, but Adrien held his ground and refused to be anywhere near her. Of course, Lila again made her sheep turn even more against the ones that did not believe her by making up a lie about the "bullies" that had "brainwashed Adrien against her." Once again, it made them question how any of the sheep were able to actually make it to high school when they so easily believed something as stupid as that.
Bustier had tried to force Adrien to move, but Lyon and Vallia helped put a stop to it. While their parents were not powerful outside of Greece, they did have pull because of how they were currently under the protection of the Greek government while in Paris. After all, their parents were known as the most charitable and wealthy people in their home country, so it was only natural for them to be given protection when they were going to a city that was basically being held hostage by an emotional terrorist.
That was a part of the story that Lyon and Vallia told to help explain why White Wolf and Beautifly were suddenly in Paris rather than Greece. The two Greek heroes had been asked to help keep the twins safe, which was pretty easy given that the heroes and the twins were the same people. But, it was still an excellent explanation on top of also helping the twins keep their hero identities safe.
And since the twins were under the protection of their home government, they did have some influence because no one wanted to cause an international incident if the twins ever said anything damaging about Paris or France in general to their parents. And that included if they were treated badly at school. So, they used that influence to stop Bustier from moving Adrien back next to the harpy by saying how they hoped that their parents did not hear about how a teacher was upsetting them by ignoring the wishes of their friend when he wanted to stay where he was rather than moving to where he did not want to go.
And just like with Chloe and Lila, Bustier bent to the wills of those with high-power parents. Adrien was eternally grateful to the twins for saving him from the harpy's claws.
The group of non-sheep students all hoped for some form of peace throughout the day. They were really tired of having to deal with all the false accusations thrown at them just because they did not bow down to Liar Rossi.
*****
That hope was quickly bashed in by the first half of class.
Bustier had previously started a unit on the Italian Renaissance, so the group had known right away that they were in for a lot of lies because how could Lila not lie when they were doing lessons about her own home country? And, of course, she did lie. 
The moment that Busiter brought up famous painters from the Renaissance, Lila instantly opened her mouth. She started bragging about how she was a direct descendant of Leonardo da Vinci, the famous painter of both the Mona Lisa as well as The Last Supper.  Of course, that could have also been as easily proven false just like all her other lies. After all, Leonardo da Vinci never married nor did he have any children. It is even one of history's biggest rumors that he had been gay. There are even historical records of how he and a few of his friends were put to trial over a case of the men being accused of being involved with a male prostitute. The case was dismissed due to lack of evidence, but it was still known to a lot of historians that the painter was rumored to have been gay.
But, the main part of that was how obvious it was for it to be known that Lila was lying. It also made the non-sheep students question how much their own teacher knew about the subject that she teaches given that she did not even try to correct Lila at all. Those like Lyon and Vallia rolled their eyes as another obvious lie was ignored. Kim also rolled his eyes once Vallia whispered to him how they knew it was a lie.
But Alya noticed them rolling their eyes and that resulted in another set of arguing in the classroom. Once again it was the sheep against the students with brain cells. Lila once again turned on the waterworks about "how mean they were being to her" by rolling their eyes at what she was saying.
They practically ran out of the classroom once the bell rang. They were not in the mood to continue to be annoyed by the sheep and the class liar. Especially since Adrien really wanted the day to be over in order to meet up with True.
As the group sat down for lunch, they talked about other things to distract themselves from the annoyances. They were joined at the table by Marc, Kagami, Aurore, and Mirelle.
"Did you guys hear the news about Mad Style," was the first thing that came out of Aurore's mouth.
"I guess word spread faster than I thought that it would," Adrien chuckled.
"It doesn't surprise me," Marinette says. "After all, a fashion company as big as Mad Style coming to open up a big store in the fashion capital of the world is pretty big news."
"Well, not that it is good news," Lyon said. "At least, not for everyone."
"What do you mean, Lyon," Marc asked the dubbed Ice Prince. "I may not be that much of a fashion fanatic like Marinette and Aurore, but even I know how big of a company that Mad Style is."
"How about the fact that with a company that big and popular, that might hurt Adrien's family company," Lyon stated. "I am far from Gabriel's biggest fan, I actually have a big desire to shoot him with one of my arrows, but this could bring down the sales of Gabriel Fashion."
That did actually make the group all think about it. Lyon was right. Adrien might not actually want to have a career in fashion, as he did make his boredom and hatred of modeling very well known, but it was still his own family's company. Mad Style coming to Paris really could mean something bad for the company. 
"Can't they both do well," Kagami asked the two fashion fans of the group.
"Being honest, fashion companies have gotten along with each other really well, even if there were two big companies in a single city," Marinette says. "But, and I hate to say this in front of Adrien, Gabriel Fashion is not as good as Mad Style."
She nervously looked at Adrien. She was about to apologize to him, but he held his hand up to stop there.
"I take no offense to it, Marinette," he tells her. "I know that father expects me to take over the company one day. Or, to at least still be the face of the company along with whoever he chooses to be his company heir. But, I have no interest in doing either of those things. While I hope that nothing actually happens to father's company, I honestly don't care for it myself."
"You clearly hate being a model, so that we understand," Kim patted Adrien on his back.
"What exactly does make Mad Style and Gabriel Fashion so different," Nathaniel asked the two fashion-loving girls in their group. "I may have to get fashion right when I draw characters for mine and Marc's comic, but I know nothing about actual fashion."
"It's mainly because Mad Style does more than just plain fashion," Aurore explains. "They have a perfume line, a great number of accessory lines, unique clothing, not to mention that even when they advertise full outfits, they are very amazing outfits. Unlike how other companies usually leave it up to the stores to put outfits together."
"Gabriel Fashion, on the other hand, is known more for just plain outfits with added accessories," Marinette took over the explanation. "Take the hat that I designed that won that hat competition not too long ago. When Adrien modeled it, it was just my hat along with a plain black suit. And while it did look good, it was still very plain. Gabriel Fashion really is mostly just plain outfits that they make look better with their expensive accessories. Without the accessories, their outfits are kind of boring."
Again, she tried to apologize to Adrien. But, he stopped her. Even he could admit that he felt that the clothes were nothing special. The only reason he even worse Gabriel Fashion every day was because it was the only type of clothes in his closet other than the scarf that Marinette had previously made him for his birthday.
"Something tells me that things are not going to be ending well for you, Adrien," Lyon said.
That was when Adrien also caught onto what Lyon really meant. He basically slammed his head onto their lunch table.
"Father is going to make me do even more photoshoots in order to make up for the lost business that Mad Style will cause," he groaned in annoyance.
Kim patted him on his back again to comfort him.
"There, there," he showed that he was not very good when it came to comforting words.
"And he's probably going to make me to those shoots with Lila as well," Adrien groaned even more. "I'm going to be driven mad."
"I think the fact that you guys share a class with the liar and have not gone mad already pretty much proves how that will probably never happen," Aurore stated.
"Wait," Juleka suddenly said, bringing attention to herself. "I just thought of something."
"Well, you might want to tell us," Kim said. "We're not mind-readers, after all."
"Not unless one of us secretly has a miraculous that gives us that power," Nathaniel chuckled. "Oh! That's a great idea, actually. Write that down for the comic, Marc."
"Already on it," Marc had his journal out where he wrote down all the ideas he and Nathaniel would have for the comic.
Juleka then spoke up from where she left off.
"Well, if the news is already spreading about Mad Style coming to Paris," she said. "Then I have a feeling that we're about to hear even more lies."
All the friends looked at each other.
"Oh crap," they all swore.
And as if on cue, they soon heard the voice that gave them all headaches every single day. And it was of the very topic that Adrien and Aurore had brought up.
"True is not as nice as everyone thinks that she is," they heard Lila saying.
"What did she just say," Adrien almost growled.
"If Sunshine is the one that is this upset, then you know that the liar has really crossed a line," Vallia said.
Adrien looked ready to strangle the liar with his bare hands with what he heard her saying.
"Girl, you know True Jackson," Alya was eating it up as usual.
"Unfortunately," Lila once again was bringing up fake tears to make her story look tragic. "I thought that she had been a friend when I used to live in New York when my mom was stationed there for a little bit of time. But Max Madigan is like an uncle to me, so I recommended her for the vice president job when True showed talent in design. But, when it came out about her, she took all the credit. She lied and said that Uncle Max personally chose her off the street and saw her talent on his own. She completely abandoned me."
"How dare she do that to you," Alya was furious. "You did not deserve that treatment at all. I am SO posting about this on the Ladyblog."
"Just don't get Uncle Max in trouble," Lila tells her. "He only keeps her around because her father is a lawyer and threatened to drain the company dry for 'wrongful termination."
"Wrongful termination my foot," Alya growled, already starting to type her "article."
Adrien was practically glaring holes through Alya and Lila's heads. If the phrase "if looks could kill" was actually real, then both of the bullying girls would have been dead from the blond's glare.
"Uh... Adrien," Marinette waved her hand in front of his face. "You okay?"
"I'm fine," Adrien said but did not stop glaring at the two girls. "Why did you ask?"
"Because you have that look on your face that Kagami usually gets when she tries to stab someone with her saber," Marc said.
"I would argue, but I have threatened to do that to many people in my life," Kagami looked a little too pleased with herself when she said that.
"There is a reason why I am scared of you," Nathaniel tells the swordswoman.
"Let's just say that I am currently considering stealing Cat Noir's ring in order to get rid of that liar," Adrien basically growled.
Of course, he already was Cat Noir, so he already had the needed ring. But, the others did not know that. But, that did not make his threat any less real since he really hated how Lila was talking about his friend. True did not deserve to be lied about like that.
"I guess you would hate Liar Rossi talking about True Jackson like that," Lyon said. "You are a lot more honorable than your father, so you would hate anyone talking bad about anyone else in the fashion community."
"I want her to shut up so badly," Adrien says.
"We all do," the rest of the friends agreed with Adrien.
*****
Adrien had never been more thankful for the day to come to an end. If he had to listen to Lila trash-talking his friend any longer, he would have literally needed every single one of his friends to hold him back to keep him from killing her. It sicked him that so many of their class ate up her lies about such a sweet and incredible person just because one person said those horrible things were the truth.
He was sure that Lila lied so often that she would not know the truth if it slapped her in the face. Though, that was also something he really wanted to do as well. He was going to have to remember to talk to Plagg to see if one of the side effects of using the black cat miraculous was that he got more violent in his everyday life.
As soon as the bell rang for school to end, Adrien almost flew out of the classroom. He wanted to get away as quickly as he could. Especially since True had told him that she would have landed by the time he finished school. His friends were all having a hard time keeping up with him.
"Adrien, will you stop running," Marinette called out to him.
"Did anyone else know that Sunshine could be this fast," even Kim was having a hard time keeping up with him.
"He did seem pretty excited about something today," Kagami said.
"I bet that we are about to find out what made him so excited," Lyon guessed.
They did soon find out what had made him so excited. Almost as soon as they got out of the school, Adrien's eyes lit up at who he saw waiting for him. 
True was just getting out of the car that Jimmy had been driving. Lulu and Ryan also got out of the car as well. Adrien suspected that everyone's favorite receptionist, Oscar, probably made arrangements for them to have a rental car ready for them they would get to Paris. The man really was the best when it came to planning. He was basically the glue that held Mad Style together.
True gave her signature bright smile as she saw Adrien coming their way.
"Sunshine," she cheered.
Marinette and Aurore both looked like they were about to burst from excitement and shock. Probably their biggest idol in the fashion world was standing right in front of them. Marinette had even full-on froze right where she was standing. Which caused Kim to crash into her, Nathaniel to crash into him, and then Juleka to have to come to a quick stop that caused her to fall on her butt to keep herself from crashing into Nathaniel.
Adrien was quick to run up to his friend and then give True a big hug. It had been a long time since he saw her in person rather than over the phone or using video chat on his computer.
"Well, you can not say that Adrien is not full of surprises," Lyon chuckled.
The group made their way down the front steps of the school, making their way toward Adrien and his now-revealed friend.
"I knew you said that your flight was landing close to when I would get out of school, but I didn't expect you to show up at my school," Adrien said.
"Well, a girl has to surprise her friend, sometimes," True giggled.
"It's great seeing you again, Adrien," Lulu smiled brightly at him. "And this time it is all of you rather than a mini version of you on a computer screen."
"Yeah! Now I can watch Ryan spill a bottle of soda on himself in person," Adrien smirked as he teased the goofball of the American group.
"That was ONE time," Ryan protested, making them all laugh at him.
"I think you mean one time with GRAPE soda," Jimmy said. "You've also done it plenty of times with other sodas as well."
Adrien then also hugged Lulu, Ryan, and Jimmy as well. While he knew that his father would not want him to hang out with them given their involvement with a rival company, he did not care. This was probably the biggest form of rebellion that Adrien ever had done against his father.
"Let me introduce you guys to my friends," Adrien tells them.
"Sounds awesome," Jimmy grinned at the excited teenager.
While all of them were only a couple of years older than Adrien, they all treated him like a little brother. He was certainly adorable enough to be anyone's little brother. True was the one that had especially embraced the idea of having Adrien as a little brother. She and Lulu were the ones that had the biggest hearts out of their friend group.
"True, Luly, Jimmy, and Ryan, these are my friends," Adrien introduced them. "Lyon, Vallia, Marinette, Kagami, Kim, Juleka, Nathaniel, Marc, Aurore, and Mirelle. Guys, this is Lulu, Ryan, Jimmy, and..."
He was cut off by Marinette and Aurore both practically shrieking with excitement. The group all had to hand it to the three that they did have good timing when it came to when they finally let out their shrieks. Both of the girls looked about ready to pounce on True in all of their excitement. True giggled as she knew that there would be fans of her whom she was likely to meet while she was in Paris. Plus, Adrien told her about Marinette wanting to be a designer.
"True Jackson," Marinette was the first to actually speak real words. "There are no words to describe how much I love you and your work."
"Is it true that you once designed a suit made entirely out of feathers," Aurore was in reporter mode as he talked to True. "Or is that just a rumor?"
True looked a little embarrassed by the question, but she took it in strides. Especially as Jimmy did take her hand and smiled at her. He was the one that wore that suit, after all.
"I did actually design a suit made out of feathers," True tells the weather girl/reporter hopeful. "And I will be honest that I did develop a little ego because Mr.Madigan did not like hurting people's feelings. So, he would always tell a lot of us that our designs were perfect even if he hated them. But then I found a bunch of my designs in the company Reject Room. And while it was hurtful to be lied to, I did also need the ego check. I needed to learn that not every design that I do is perfect."
"Except when it came to your swirly dress," Ryan chuckled. "That thing still makes me dizzy."
"Hey, I find it beautiful no matter what," True said.
"That was still a very fun day," Lulu giggled. "Ryan accidentally put on a suit that blew up like a balloon, I put on a dress that shocked me, Oscar kept putting people to sleep with his sleep-aid voice, Amanda caused her ex-boyfriend to ruin one of his own paintings, and Mr.Madigan mastered a really hard bird call."
"Is stuff like that normal for you guys," Marc asked them.
"We've had weirder things happen to us in a single day," True shrugged. "I'm also related to weirder people. My Uncle Troy holds the world record for being struck by lightning, falling down elevator shafts, and being hit by cars."
"And he's still alive," Nathaniel was shocked.
"We had a funeral for him once, but he luckily woke up and got out of the coffin before any of the dirt could be poured onto it," True says.
"Is that any weirder than Lulu attacking that photographer that had come to take pictures of Amanda just for mentioning Connie Cat-Head," Jimmy chuckled.
"Please don't mention her," Lulu instantly said.
"She really hates her," True giggled.
"You guys are going to fit in perfectly around here," Juleka smirked. "If there is one thing about Paris that has happened recently, it is that it has gotten very weird around here."
"Weird how," Jimmy raised an eyebrow.
"I was once abducted by a giant purple gorilla," Adrien said.
"Say what now," True once again said her catchphrase.
"Is this about that Mothhawk guys," Ryan asked them.
"It's Hawkmoth, but yeah," Marinette said. "Adrien's bodyguard, the Gorilla, had gotten akumatized, which was why he had been after Adrien. He was frustrated with Adrien running off, so he was given the desire to never let Adrien go. Ever."
"That is messed up," Lulu said.
"You have no idea," Vallia says. "And that was not even the most dangerous akuma that has happened in the city. Do we need to bring up that Syren nearly caused most of Paris to drown?"
"Please, do not remind me of that," Kim held his face in his hands. "I was so oblivious to Ondine and her feelings because of how I felt about you, Vallia, that I never realized what she had been trying to tell me."
"It's not your fault, Kim," Nathaniel patted him on the back. "Everyone is oblivious sometimes. Do I need to bring up how long it took Marc and me to get together?"
"You were the one that was most obvious in that case, Nath," Marc tells his boyfriend.
Unfortunately, they were interrupted by the yelling of one of their least favorite people in the school. And once again, the yelling was caused by lies being told to that person.
"How dare you show your face here," Alya was basically charging at them like a wild bull.
Having known about the lies that Lila has said about True, they expected this to happen once they saw that Adrien's visiting friend was the famous designer. Kim and Lyon both instantly were standing in Alya's way, preventing her from getting close to True.
"I'm sorry about this, True," Adrien tells her. "We didn't get the chance to tell you about a girl in our class that was lying about you."
"Who was lying about True," Jimmy looked completely in 'protective boyfriend mode.'
"They are no lies," Alya was yelling as she tried to get past Lyon and Kim, who both looked annoyed by having to deal with her like this. "You should be ashamed of what you did to Lila!"
"Who," True raised an eyebrow. "I know that I have met a lot of people since I became Vice President, but I never met anyone named Lila."
"You've also changed a lot of people's lives for the better as well, True," Lulu reminds her best friend. "Like how you taught Dakota North how to have fun instead of letting her career as a supermodel rule her life. And how you helped Callie with her confidence by making her the manager of the Mad Style store at the mall."
"Thanks, Lulu," True gave her best friend a hug.
The two of them have always been like sisters. Adrien always loved how adorable they were together. If anyone can match Lulu's brand of crazy, it would be True.
"How can you pretend to not know Lila after everything she did for you," Alya was still yelling. "She was the one that got you your job in the first place! And you had the gall to lie about how you got it all on your own!" 
"Because I did get it on my own," True crossed her arms. "I got a summer job selling sandwiches in the fashion district. Mr.Madigan happened to buy one of my sandwiches and he noticed that I was wearing some of his designs. But, he also noticed that I had changed some of them as well. I shortened the pants, changed the buttons of my jacket, and added some of my own stitchwork as well. He ended up giving me the job right then and there."
"That is all a lie and you know it," Alya then pointed right at Lila. "Lila got you the job because of how she and Max Madigan are really close. She is basically his niece!"
Unknown to Alya, this was the last thing Lila wanted. She never expected True Jackson to actually show up at their school. She had been growling to herself when she saw that Adrien obviously knew the American designer. She had been coming up with a way to "punish" Adrien for bringing True around to ruin one of her lies when Alya confronted the designer. And because of her confronting True, that could cause her lies to fall apart.
"Uncle Max does not know that girl," Jimmy spoke up.
"As if he someone that is close to the girl that mistreated his honorable niece would be close enough to him to call him his uncle," Alya glared at Jimmy.
"I call him my uncle because he IS my uncle," Jimmy tells Alya. "My name is Jimmy Madigan and I am Max Madigan's actual nephew. So, I can tell you right here and now that Uncle Max has no idea who that girl is."
"You're the liar here, not Lila," Alya was being stubborn as usual. "Where's your proof that anything you say is true?"
"Where's yours," Adrien was the one that asked Alya that.
"Lila doesn't..." Alya tried saying.
"No," Adrien interrupted her. "I am sick and tired of you taking anything and everything that Lila says as the law. You have never once asked her for proof despite the outrageous things that she claims. I can one hundred percent guarantee that if you asked her for ANY proof, she won't be able to get it because it doesn't exist. And I am not going to let you stand there and slander my friend just because Lila claims things about her."
Everyone was shocked because this was the first time that any of them have seen Adrien act like this. It was proving that he was definitely protective of his friends.
"Lila doesn't lie," Alya was screaming. "I don't need to ask her for proof!"
"Adrien," True got her young friend's attention.
"Yes, True," Adrien was still glaring at Alya as he listened to what True had to say.
"You once said that you used to have a friend that blogged a lot," True says. "Is this that former friend that you were talking about?"
"Yeah," Adrien answered her, wondering where she was going with this.
"Well, then," True got out her phone. "I will give Mr.Madigan a call. He will get in contact with the lawyers and if there is anything about him for me online that she has written, then there will be lawsuits coming for slander."
"WHAT," Alya screamed.
"Look, girl, I am normally a nice person," True tells the tabloid reporter. "I take a lot of junk from others and I learn to deal with it when I am treated badly by anyone. You can't work with Amanda if you can't learn to deal with mean people. But the one thing that I will never take is someone slandering myself, Mad Style, or Mr.Madigan. Hope you will learn to actually fact check after this."
*****
True actually did end up calling the owner of Mad Style about what she had learned about Alya and Lila. After seeing the so-called article that Alya posted on her blog based on Lila's lies, Max was ready to throw down with them for writing such slander about one of his favorite employees, who he also counted as a friend.
It took only two days before both Alya and Lila were hit with not only lawsuits for slander, but also with cease and desist orders, a large fine, restraining orders to keep them both away from True and Mad Style in general, as well as Alya being forced to shut down her blog. She remained stubborn about Lila and her lies, but now she was believing the lies that Lila was saying about True "turning her Uncle Max against her." It was seriously pathetic how much Alya was willing to believe to keep herself from admitting that she was wrong.
Lila did try and get revenge on Adrien for causing her downfall since everyone else broke away from her other than Alya. So, she called his father since she was still a Gabriel model. Gabriel tried to not only ground Adrien, but also force him to never be around True on top of trying to force him to "date" Lila. But this time, Adrien was not going to take the treatment lying down.
He secretly had his phone with him and he recorded everything that his father had said to him. Including every single threat that Gabriel said. He sent the recording to True since she was the one with the best lawyers. Within the hour, Adrien was taken from Gabriel's custody. 
Currently, Adrien was living his best life. Which was eating as many pastries that were given to him by Marinette's parents since they were the ones that took him in. 
"If death by pastries can be a thing, I can die happy," Adrien said.
His new family and all his friends laughed at him, glad that things had finally started looking up.
