"Ah... I'm... Lady Scarlet!"
~~~~~~~~~~
in which...
juliet beaumont, a star model on the rise
got the ladybug miraculous instead of
marinette.
with a mom who is the owner of a popular clothing brand and a dad who owns a renowned hotel chain, juliet...
Juliet was trying out one of her mom's new dresses for her boutique, Miyabi Attire. It was based off fairycore and nature. Machiko looked very focused as she took photos for her website.
"Mom, can we hurry? My friends are having a race and I really want to go." She pleaded.
"Yes, yes, just a few more minutes!" Machiko brushed her off. "I need to make sure it looks good and I don't have to make adjustments. I was hoping you could model it as well?"
Juliet groaned. "I'm not even that popular of a model. Can't I do something else?" She asked.
Machiko pursed her lips. "You won't become popular with that attitude. And, ahh... Done!" She exclaimed.
"Thank you!" Juliet exclaimed as she ran out the door, making her way to the Trocadero.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Juliet quickly ran up to her friends, with the banner she made for the race.

(It's not the best but it's better than Marinette's)
"Great job!" Sylvia exclaimed, making Juliet smile.
"Impressive, Juliet!" Adrien praised. He also winked at her, making Juliet blush.
Marinette glowered at the model. She was supposed to make the banner at first, until Juliet had to offer! And why was Adrien smiling at that attention seeker?!
"You all picked the wrong side to cheer on. Looks like Alix isn't even showing up! Probably too chicken to race an extreme athlete like me." Kim degraded.
"Spoke to soon, Kim." Alix appeared, on roller skates. "Your ridiculous bets are over. I'm gonna leave you in the dust, meathead!"
"You're no match for me. My neck is bigger than your thigh." Kim retorted.
"Is that a good thing?" Alya asked Marinette, who laughed in response.
Max pushed the two competitors away from each other to stop the tension.
"Let's review the official rules. Two laps around the fountains; approximately 500 yards. The first one over the line's declared the victor! If Kim triumphs, Alix will relinquish her rollerblades to him. If Alix triumphs, Kim will be prohibited from making another dare for the rest of the school year." Max explained.
Everyone cheered for Alix, talking about how done they were with Kim's awful dares.
Juliet looked around for someone to help her hold the banner. Her eyes landed on a cherry-haired boy. "Nathaniel!~ Could you please help me hold the banner?"
Nathaniel blushed. "Uh, o-of course Juliet!"
"Thank you!" Juliet smiled sweetly, making Nathaniel blush even more.
"On your marks, get set..." Max began, but Alix cuts him off. "Hold up!" She exclaimed.
Kim, who was in a running stance, falls and causes everyone to laugh. "Forfeiting already?" Kim smirked.
