Scene: In the locker room, Marinette Dupain-Cheng is looking for a fencing helmet.
Aye y'all remember when I told you this is the episode where Zane meets his love interest.
Tikki: This fencing gear really does suit you, Marinette.
Marinette: Thank you, Tikki! Let's hope wielding a saber is a lot easier than finding a helmet that fits.
The helmet slips and Marinette makes a disgruntled noise.
Tikki giggles.
Marinette: (pulls the helmet off.) I gotta ace these try-outs! D'Argencourt is the most prestigious fencing academy in all of Paris! I've only got this one shot to show them what I've got and get onto the team!
Tikki: You've been reviewing the fencing rules all weekend, it's going to be great!
Marinette: You're right. I'm going to make quite an impression on Adrien! (She slams the helmet down on the table, upsetting the others laid out. Marinette scrambles to catch them before they fall off, catching one on her foot.) Ah, here we go! This one should fit perfectly!
Scene: Collège Françoise Dupont. Mr. D'Argencourt paces between two lines of students.
Armand: I am the fencing master, Mr. D'Argencourt. As I'm sure you're aware, we have only one open spot on the team this year. (Armand stops and faces the challengers.) So, in order to select the best possible candidate, I will observe the beginners performing a number of attacks on the experienced students.
Marinette: (looks around) Where's Adrien?
Armand: (Gestures with his arm to his students.) Get into position.
Marinette is still looking around for Adrien when one of the students approaches her.
Adrien: Seems like you're looking for someone?
Marinette: Yeah, I thought Adrien was here. You know, a boy this tall (she gestures to about Adrien's height then puts her hand to her cheek.), blond, nice, super handsome?
Adrien: (lifts up his helmet to reveal his face.) Thanks for the compliments!
Marinette yelps in surprise.
HA!
Adrien: I didn't know you were into fencing, Marinette.
Marinette: A-Adrien! Nice to fencing, I'm totally into you! Uhh, I mean, nice to see you! Yeah, I'm totally into fencing.
Adrien Chuckles gently and smiles.
Marinette giggles and blushes.
Armand: Get into position!
Marinette: awkwardly puts her helmet on, glances at Adrien, and holds her saber upright.
Adrien: Bend your knees, then stretch your left foot back, turned outwards. (Marinette does so.) Perfect! (He moves to her side, putting his arm around her to have her lean forward, using his other hand to guide hers so her saber is pointing out.) Now, put your saber forward, like this.
Marinette Blushes and giggles again.
Armand: Greet each other!
He crosses his saber arm over his chest and then snaps it out to his side in the traditional fencing greeting.
Adrien, then Marinette, greet each other.
Armand: En garde! Prêt, allez!
The students begin fencing while D'Argencourt watches. Adrien is ready, but Marinette is standing quite still.
