A/N:  So far everything I have written has been my original ideas but since someone requested a chapter with all the girlies I thought it would be cute to recreate something like the Gigagiant episode. This is a special occasion though! It really bothers me when people downgrade my work by comparing it to other stuff.

[Narrator's POV]

"Thanks for letting me hang around. It gets a little lonely in the hospital..." Plagg says. "But moreover, there is zero camembert there!"

"How inconsiderate of Adrien to get himself hospitalised. I'm sure if you express you complaints to him when he wakes up, he won't even be able to imagine your pain." Tiki replies with a roll of her eyes.

"Woah, is that bitterness I detect in the voice of the princess of sweetness?" Plagg teases. "Don't tell me you're still upset because I snuck cheese into Marinette's macaron mix? It was tasty!"

"It was traumatizing!" Tiki cries. "I'm truly living with a being of destruction and disaster!"

"I think I should be the kwami of desserts rather than destruction from now on," Plagg declares proudly. "My recipes are revolutionary!"

"Your ten cheese tuna tart is disgusting," Tiki says. "And so were those mozzarella macarons."

"Behave you two or I'll make you both start eating salad!" Marinette intervenes.

Plagg gasps in despair.

"The girls are heading over so hurry up and hide," Marinette says. "I'll make you both a dish of your own after."

.

Marinette stands proudly before all her girl-friends with Chloe beside her looking less enthusiastic.

"You sure about this?" She grumbles, her cheeks turning red.

"Yes!" Marinette says strongly.

Alix, Juleka, Maylene and Rose are all sitting on the floor staring at Lila, who is laying comfortably across the entirety of Marinette's lounge chair.

"What is she doing here?" Alix asks dully.

"I'm Marinette's best friend." Lila answers in a matter-of-fact manner.

Chloe crosses her arms. "Uh, excusez-moi, I am Marinette's best friend."

"You're both kidding yourselves," Alya says bluntly. "Just shut up so we can get this started."

"Wait." Lila says shortly.

Everyone waits silently for an elaboration or explanation but Lila just lays there admiring her nails. After a moment of silence, they hear hurried footsteps climbing up the ladder to Marinette's room. The hatchet bursts open and Sabrina clambers inside.

"Sorry I'm late," She says.

Lila sits up and allows Sabrina a place on the lounge chair. Then, she waves her hand at the others lazily. "Alright go ahead."

"Okay!" Marinette claps her hands together. "Now that everyone is here, we can dicuss a secret that Chloe has been struggling to deal with but really wants to take cafe of. Of course, I noticed because I'm a genius but--"

"She's in love with Nathaniel, is that it?" Maylene interrupts. "You want advice on how to ask him out?"

"No!" Chloe denies on instinct, blushing madly.

Marinette grips Chloe's shoulder and gives her a determined look.

Chloe heaves a sigh. "Fine. You're...right." She confesses reluctantly. "I...yes. That."

"How are you supposed to tell Nathaniel if you can't even say it out loud?" Alix asks mockingly.

"Shut up I can so!" Chloe snaps before turning her head with a hmph. "I just can't risk any of you falling in love with me upon hearing it. You're not worth my time."

"Don't get defensive now Chloe," Sabrina says softly. "You're with your friends...and Lila."

Lila pushes Sabrina onto the floor with her foot and stretches out on the lounge chair once more. "Screw being friendly then."

Chloe slowly comes round and gives Sabrina a smile. "You're right, sorry...I'm the one who's asking for your time." She looks down bashfully and twiddles her fingers. "I...I really like Nathaniel. Maybe even...l-love. A little. Er, anyway, I don't know what to do about it because I like the way things are but my feelings are only getting stronger, and...I dunno how to bring it up or something."

"Sooo cute!" Rose says. "You should write him a song!"

"Yeah." Juleka agrees monotonously. "That'd be cool."

Lila snickers. "Chloe singing?"

"Then how about just a poem," Maylene says. "I love poetry!"

"Lame." Lila replies.

"Nathaniel loves art, maybe you could make him something?" Alix suggests.

"What is with all of these weird ideas?" Lila says. "Chloe doesn't have an artistic bone in her body."

"Then how bout you think of something!" Alix snaps.

"Lila's just being realistic," Sabrina says. "Putting a damp towel over your fiery ideas is her way of helping."

Lila frowns. "If that's you trying to stick up for me, it's not getting you back on this comfy chair."

"Ladies! Ladies!" Alya speaks up. "Marinette called you here to participate in a plan she already has so pipe down."

"Nathaniel is visiting the Louvre today," Marinette starts.

"But I can't send a car to pick him up!" Chloe cuts in. "He doesn't like that, trust me."

"Yes, thankyou for your intel Chloe," Marinette continues, pulling out a map of the city. "So we must alter his route so that instead of taking the quick and boring route back to his house in this direction, he is forced to go this way instead, across Love Lock Bridge-- the most romantic place in Paris! It is here that Chloe will confess her love with our aid to get the mood right."

"What aid?" Lila questions.

"Glad you asked, Lemon." Marinette says.

"Lemon?" Lila repeats.

"Yes, from now on you are Lemon, I'm Plum, Chloe is Banana, Alya is Apple, Sabrina is Orange, Alix is Peach, Rose is Watermelon, Juleka is Grape, Maylene is Pear and Nathaniel is Tomato. Got it? And we shall call this secret mission Operation Fruit Salad!" Marinette says, pumping her fist.

"This is dumb." Lila says.

"Quit being so sour, Lemon." Alya teases.

"Listen," Marinette says. "When the Louvre gets too busy there are steel gates that security can use to orangise everyone into a line. Apple and Pear are going to take some of these and use them to block off all the small streets and alleyways around the Louvre that Tomato usually walks through. Peach and Orange are going to break the traffic light at this intersection right here so that all the main roads around this area shut down. That way, Tomato can't get a cab. The only path left is the one leading to the Love Lock bridge. Nearby, Grape and Watermelon will be performing their music to get people's attention and draw them away from the bridge. Tomato will be in a hurry since his way home has been compromised so he won't stop. Just in case some people don't take the bait, Lemon will be standing guard at the bridge and will stop anyone except Tomato from crossing. That way, he and Banana are completely alone. Well except for me, Plum, who will be managing the operation by Banana's side and providing moral support and, uh, making sure she doesn't run away."

"Cool." Juleka says.

"Um, not cool," Maylene disagrees. "This plan is highly illegal!"

"I know, and I get the most boring job!" Lila complains. "The only legal one!"

"I dunno if I wonna go to jail for breaking a traffic light." Alix says.

"Yeah, what if we cause an accident?" Alya adds.

Lila's hand shoots up. "I wonna do it! Let me switch places with Ali--er, Peach!"

"I guess I'll do it if Lil-ah-Lemon does it..." Sabrina says.

"Orange, you're dad is a cop!" Maylene protests.

"So I can use her as a hostage if we get busted." Lila smirks. "You know what? You're allowed back up on the high seat, Orange."

Sabrina gladly takes a seat on the lounge chair again.

"What am I doing again?" Rose asks cluelessly.

"You're making music with me." Juleka answers.

"Oh, yay!" Rose says happily.

"Wait, if Lemon is breaking the traffic light then what am I doing?" Alix asks.

"Peach you're still taking take of that job because Lemon, you're the only one mean and scary enough to make people run away from the bridge." Marinette says.

Alya laughs. "Got that right!"

"They'll run away screaming when they see that stupid Banana!" Lila retorts.

"What banana?" Says Rose.

"Ugh, this is ridiculous!" Chloe groans. "Utterly--"

"Ridiculous!" Everyone chimes in, mimicking Chloe.

Chloe slaps a hand on her face as everyone starts laughing.

"Okay, okay!" Marinette says. "How about this, Peach, if you can think if a way to stop traffic without breaking the light then you can do that; like pretending to have an accident on your rollerblades in the middle of the street."

"And I know how to get security's permission to use the steel gates so don't sweat it, Pear." Alya says. "In fact, if you're uncomfortable then I'm cool with doing this job on my own."

Marinette taps her chin. "Okay, since Orange wanted to work with Lemon then she can help shoo people away from the bridge and Pear can help Peach instead. Is everyone cool now?"

"Yes!" Rose says enthusiastically. "But could you repeat the plan again please?"

Marinette sighs.

.

[Nathaniel's POV]

After wandering the Louvre for inspiration, I take a seat on one of the cushioned ornaments and take out my sketchbook. Whilst flipping through, I come across my most detailed drawing of Chloe. I did this when our school invited the most boring professor to give us a two hour lecture; it really is my best masterpiece, and unmistakably Chloe, no matter how unique my art style...

"Hm." I hum, intrigued by my own bait.

I sketch the outline of a mask around Chloe's eyes and lightly colour it in yellow. Yep. Unmistakably Queen Bee. Then how am I crazy enough to think they look nothing alike?

I snap my sketchbook shut before anyone else can see and pack up my things. Whenever that super-bug bugs my brain I can never get anything done. Speaking of supers, when I exit the Louvre I see Rena Rouge blocking off all my paths home with steel gates.

"Hey, Rena Rouge!" I call out. "What's going on here?"

After finishing her job, Rena Rouge approaches me to explain. "Some people were using these back alleys to sneak past security so I took care of them."

"I have to get home that way," I say with a sigh. "Could you--"

"Er, sorry kiddo, gotta split!" Rena Rouge says quickly before leaping away.

I growl in annoyance and stomp away to the main road. There I find Alix skating by, pulling along a little red wagon carrying a terrified Maylene.

"Slow down, slow down, slow down, or we're gonna crash for real!" She panics.

I cup my hands to my mouth and shout out, "Hey, could I get a ride?"

"Sorry, it looks like we're behind schedule!" Alix yells back.

Maylene screams as Alix speeds up and the two soon zoom out of sight. Looks like I gotta catch a cab after all.

[Narrator's POV]

Rose sings along as Juleka plays her guitar. Many people stop to watch and dance and throw them money.

"They don't have a permit to be performing so the patrolling police round here are bound to kick them out eventually," Sabrina says. "But I don't see that Tomato anywhere!"

A couple strolls by but before they can step foot on the bridge, Lila steps in front of them.

"This bridge is off limits to you peasants," She hisses. "Get lost!"

One of the boys draws back fearfully but the other grabs his hand and turns to Lila angrilly. "What gives you the right to say so?"

"Sorry, she's just awfully passionate about the save the pandas movement and we noticed you didn't donate. See those cute little girls performing over there? They haven't eaten a thing all day because they're so busy putting on a show to raise money for our panda benefits foundation." Sabrina blinks at the boys innocently. "You do care about the health and safety of sweet little girls and panda cubs...don't you?"

The boys look at each other uneasily and slowly scoot off. Sabrina adjusts her glasses smugly.

"Guess you can't scare em all," Lila holds up her hand with a smirk. "Nice lie."

Sabrina grins and gives her a high five. Lila's phone rings so she puts it on speaker phone for them.

"Peach and Pear just informed me that Tomato reached the main road before they could stop traffic," Marinette says. "Make sure he doesn't get a cab!"

"This is a job for an asshole. I'm on it!" Lila says before hanging up.

"You sure are getting into this," Sabrina says. "Weird considering that it's helping Chloe."

"I like to cause chaos," Lila replies. "Besides, guarding the bridge on your own will be a great way to practice standing up to people."

Lila runs off toward the Louvre. By the time she gets there, Nathaniel had finally waved down a cab but before he can get in, Lila shoves him aside.

"This one's mine!" She yells as she clambers in and slams the door shut. "Drive! Drive! Drive!"

"What the hell? Lila!" Nathaniel shouts. "It took me forever to get that cab!"

"Uh...where to miss?" The driver asks as they take off.

"Just keep going until you reach a traffic jam at an intersection," Lila orders as she occupies herself with her phone. "My friends are going to have a skating accident there and I need them to pay for this ride."

"What?" The driver responds with confusion and worry.

Lila taps away on her phone silently.

"Miss," The driver says. "Do you have any money?"

Lila rolls her eyes. "Yes, I just told you it'll be at the intersection soon."

The car screeches to a stop. "Get out." The driver demands.

"Make me." Lila says stubbornly.

"Get out or I'll call the police you--"

The sound of screaming approaches rapidly until suddenly-- BANG! Something hits the back of the cab. Both Lila and the driver hurriedly climb out the car to look behind it. Alix is sprawled on the ground, clutching her stomach in agony. The little red wagon is completely trashed, its wheels rolling away, and Maylene has a large graze on her face.

"Dude..." Alix groans. "Why'd you suddenly stop like that?"

"You're right, let's call the police." Lila says to the cab driver.

"Eheheh, n-no need Miss, I'll let it slide this time." The cab driver replies nervously. He quickly gets back in his car and speeds off, leaving the three girls coughing in his dust.

"I told you we'd crash!" Maylene whimpers.

"It's not my fault!" Alix says. "I got seriously winded by that bumper, I think I'm gonna throw up."

"Stay down you two." Lila says.

"We're in the middle of the road and I'm bleeding and I don't wonna get puked on by Alix!" Maylene says frantically.

"Exactly, we can stop traffic this way." Lila replies.

"Do you have any empathy at all? What if I've broken a rib or something?" Alix yaps.

"Everyone's getting angry," Maylene says as the cars around them start honking. "How are we supposed to handle this?"

Lila smirks. "I have friends in high places."

.

"What if he's put in a bad mood because of all the inconveniences we put him through so he rejects me?" Chloe says anxiously.

"He won't, don't worry. After this we can take away all the steel gates and clean up the traffic so it's no trouble at all."  Marinette assures her. "I bet in the end he won't want to go straight home anyways because he'll want to more spend time with his new girlfriend~"

Chloe clasps her hands on her cheeks. "Girlfriend..." She whispers, her eyes sparkling.

Marinette's phone dings and she scoots away from Chloe to check it.

Lila the lemon: Alix and Maylene had an accident

Lila the lemon: Wait, sorry, Peach and Pear went SPLAT!

Marinette raises an eyebrow and types a response.

Me: So they successfully stopped traffic? Did you manage to stop Tomato from getting a cab first?

"I think Tomato will be here soon." Marinette says to Chloe.

Her phone dings again and her eyes widen in terror upon seeing the message but she bites her lip to stop any noise from alerting Chloe.

Lila the lemon: I stopped Tomato from getting a cab but we need Ladybug to stop traffic, the people will listen to her. And I was not using code for mission accomplished, there was a literal accident. The Pear got her skin peeled and Peach's insides have been mushed into a smoothie.

Me: WHAT?!!

"Uh..." Marinette says shakily. "I, er, r-really need to go-- um, to the bathroom! Hehe, will you be okay on your own?"

"No, you can't leave me. Hold it in!" Chloe exclaims.

"Tomato will be here soon anyway, good luck!" Marinette says. "Tikki, spots on!"

Chloe watches as Ladybug swings away hastily. "Geez, she must be busting if it's worth transforming."

[Nathaniel's POV]

I've been standing here for ages! Why are no cabs coming?

All of a sudden, Ladybug sprints past carrying a spotted stop sign. Looks like this road is about to be shut down anyway, I'll just have to go around. This is the complete opposite direction I want to go in. Seriously, what is happening today?

[Narrator's POV]

"Ladybug?" Maylene says in surprise.

Ladybug skids to a stop and slams her sign into the ground. "I conjured this up with my lucky charm so you've got five minutes before I make you take your friends to the hospital where they should be!"

"It wasn't my plan that required traffic to be stopped." Lila says.

Ladybug frowns guiltily. "Sorry. Let's just get this over with..."

"I'm sure the hospital isn't necessary, Ladybug. Don't worry." Alix says. "I'm feeling a little better, just very, very...very bruised."

"You were being sooo overdramatic earlier but now that Ladybug's here everything is fine and dandy," Lila says. "I see how it is!"

"How did you get Ladybug here anyway?" Maylene asks curiously.

"I'm Ladybug's best friend." Lila answers in her matter-of-fact manner.

"You're kidding yourself," Ladybug says cheekily. "Rena Rouge is my best friend."

"What about Cat Noir?" Alix questions.

"He's way more than her best friend, he's her soulmate!" Maylene says.

Ladybug blushes, and Lila surveys her with a raised brow. It is then that her earrings begin beeping. Lila takes out her phone and dials Sabrina's number.

"What's up...Lemon?"

"I'm calling in to check on your situation not to report anything. Tomato passed by yet?"

"Sorta. At first he wasn't interested in stopping like Plum said but when he saw it was Rose and Juleka-- I mean Watermelon and Grape playing --He decided to support them."

"Whatever, we can leave now is what I care about." Lila hangs up and turns to Ladybug. "Care to drop us off?"

"I might need a little help." Ladybug flips open her yoyo and rings Rena Rouge. "Hey, good you're still transformed, come to the intersection Peach-- Ah! I mean! A-Alix and Maylene are hurt."

[Nathaniel's POV]

I wave at my friends with a smile. "Rose! Juleka! What are you doing here?"

Juleka flinches and strikes the wrong chord, and Rose stops singing to squeak, "Tomato!"

"What?" I say.

The crowd murmurs in disappointment and begins to disperse.

"Uh-oh." Juleka mumbles.

"No, wait, stop, everyone stay distracted! Except you tomato-- I mean Nathaniel!" Rose says. "Nathan, you have to hurry up and beat all those people to the bridge so that you can be alone together!"

"Wha-- alone together with who?" I reply.

Rose pulls at her hair stressfully. "BANANA!"

Rose has lost her marbles. I have never been more confused in my entire life.

Ladybug, Rena Rouge and a Rena Rouge clone then hop down not too far from us, each carrying someone-- Lila, Alix and Maylene.

"We gotta go now before we transform back," Ladybug says. "You sure you don't need to go to the hospital?"

Hospital??

"Well, I can breathe and I haven't puked." Alix says.

"And I didn't get puked on." Maylene adds.

"I'm doing great too, just in case you were gonna ask." Lila says.

Ladybug and the Rena Rouges wave goodbye and leave the scene. Lila, Alix and Maylene walk toward Rose and Juleka, but all of them falter to a stop upon seeing me.

Alix gives Lila's arm a slap. "I thought you said we were in the clear!"

"Well I thought Sabrina would take care of him!" Lila says.

Something is clearly going on but I don't care to uncover that right now. Ladybug said my friends were in need of medical attention!

"Maylene, your face is all scratched up." I say.

Maylene scratches her head with a chuckle. "Yeah, Alix and I sorta crashed into the back of a cab."

"Which Lila stole from me." I say crossly. "Why did you take my cab if you were just gonna come back here anyway?"

Lila shrugs. "To be an asshole."

"Nevermind that," I turn to Maylene and Alix. "Why did you two come back here when you're obviously hurt? Whatever stupid prank is going on, is it really worth your safety?"

"It's not a stupid prank!" Maylene says defensively.

"I don't know what you're on about but I'm taking you out of here." I dial up Chloe; she'll be able to send a car for us.

While my phone is ringing, Marinette and Alya come running over. Just how many people are in on this? Whatever this is...

"Huh? N-Nathan, what-- what are you--"

"Alix and Maylene are hurt but they're too stubborn to go to the hospital. Would you mind sending a car to pick us up at Love Lock bridge? And do you have a private doctor that could give them a quick checkup? I'm so sorry to be asking for all these favours--"

"W-Wait, what happened? Maylene and Alix are hurt? Because of-- Because of... Don't worry Nathaniel, I'll send someone quicker than a car!"

Before I can say anything else, Chloe hangs up on me.

"Great, now this was all for nothing!" Alix says. "Why do you have to be so damn selfless?"

Queen Bee suddenly jumps down out of nowhere-- the third hero today to randomly appear! Or, maybe not so randomly...

"You're lucky I just happened to be nearby, I'll take these two to a doctor." She says.

"Wait, what was for nothing? What's going on?" I ask firmly.

"There was this whole elaborate, secret operation with code names and junk," Lila says.

"Hey, Chloe was giving it her all!" Alix cuts in.

"Chloe?" I say, my heart dropping. "She ordered all the streets to be blocked off and the traffic stopped? Do you know how many people that messed with?"

Queen Bee grips her arm and looks away.

"We only stopped traffic for five minutes. That isn't much of a difference from the usual traffic jams." Maylene says. "It was to give you a nice surprise!"

"Just talk to her, this was really important." Alya pleads.

Juleka nods timidly.

Why would Ladybug and Rena Rouge help Chloe with this? Why would any suprheroes participate in such a stupid and selfish plan? Who am I kidding...I know exactly why.

My eyes flicker to Queen Bee. "It was really important, but she couldn't tell me? I guess I assumed Chloe had grown out of doing whatever she wants to get whatever she wants."

"That's not what happened!" Marinette says. "This was all my fault. I got so fired up and carried away with the perfect plan but I was just being inconsiderate."

"We all agreed to it so this isn't just on you." Lila replies.

"I thought it was a nice gesture..." Rose says.

"Yeah..." Alix says. "As much as I think that plan was ridiculous, you're overreacting a bit Nate."

Queen Bee shakes her head. "No excuses. These two girls are hurt because Chloe was manipulating someone. I'm taking you to a doctor, now."

I feel a tinge of guilt, hearing the sadness in her voice.

"Bee Hive!"

Queen Bee shrinks down and a swarm of bees comes to whisk her, Alix and Maylene away. Maylene did not seem to enjoy the ride.

"Maylene and Alix are going to be okay now so can't you just let us finish the job?" Lila says. "Go see Chloe on the bridge."

I am dying to know what this surprise is and this special occasion planned by Chloe admittedly makes my heart flutter. But...I can't help feeling a little disappointed that she let her friends get hurt after she worked so hard to become more considerate. And I said such harsh things...I'm a bit ashamed to see her.

Sabrina comes jogging to us and bends over to breathe heavily when she stops.

"You good?" Lila says.

Sabrina nods. "Yeah, yeah, I just had to hurry over to tell you that operation fruit salad is cancelled. Ban-- Chloe left me a message when she heard about Alix and Maylene."

"What'd she say?" Asks Alya.

Sabrina, still puffing, holds out her phone. Marinette takes it and reads the message out to the group.

"I'm so sorry about wasting everyone's time, especially Nathaniel. It was me who asked for my girl-friends to spend their day doing something so utterly ridiculous for me and because of that, this mess happened, so I would like to spend the rest of my day making it up to them-- the bestest friends in the world. I'm heading back home where my private doctor will give Alix and Maylene a check up. If you girls want to, I would love for you to come over so we can do something you want to do."

"Awwww," Rose says. "That's so sweet!"

"Ugh, don't make me vomit. Now everything really was for nothing! How could she give it all up in the end?" Lila pinches Marinette's cheek. "Wasn't it your job to make sure she wouldn't run away?"

Alya giggles. "She's not running away, if anything she's headed to face her problem. Now is not the right time for her, she knows her place."

"Say what you will about Chloe, but she is a good friend." Sabrina says, elbowing Lila.

I hang my head shamefully. "Whatever you did to turn the city upside down was super weird but it wasn't exactly mean, and yet...I said such mean things to Chloe in response."

Lila cocks a brow sceptically. "Chloe wasn't even here."

"Right, I said mean things about Chloe." I say, a slight quiver in my voice. "I blamed her for something that was an accident and even doubted her for a second. I...should probably apologise."

Marinette holds out a hand to stop me. "Save it for later, you heard what Chloe had to say. Today is for us girls to have some fun like it was from the beginning!"
