At the bridge, they see the others, Luka's phone ringed, he walks down a little bit, and takes the call.

Alya: Thanks again for agreeing to come with us.

Marinette: Sure thing. So what should we do?

Alix: We could go see the new movie that's playing in the theater.

Alix: Oh yeah. My dad told me about that. They're presenting the display today.

Rose: Wow.

Nino: I heard there's a carnival in town. We could all go there.

Max: Sounds fun.

Mylene: Cool.

Timmy: Never been to a carnival before. It could be fun.

Alya: So we all agree to go? *Everybody agreed to that.* Okay. Let's go. *They all start walking, Marinette sees Luka, and she decides to go up to him. *


Luka: Thanks. Bye. *He hangs up. *

Marinette: Hey.

Luka: Hey.

Marinette: Come on, we're going to the carnival.

Luka: Okay. But... there's something I have to tell you.

Marinette: What?

Luka: I got accepted to a university.

Marinette: That's great.

Luka: But here's the thing. I'm leaving Paris.

Marinette: You're leaving?

Marinette: You're leaving?

Luka: Just for 4 years.

Marinette: I don't understand.

Luka: I got accepted at a four-year university in England. I start in the fall.

Marinette: I had our summer planned together. You're not gonna be there to spend it with me?

Luka: Of course I will. I'm not leaving in the summer, I leave in the fall. We'll still spend some time together.


Marinette: But it won't be the same.

Marinette: But it won't be the same

Luka: It will. Just...

Marinette: Just what?

Luka: I don't want to upset you or anything, I know people do long-distance relationships and it can get hard to do that.

Marinette: So what you're saying is... it's not gonna work for us since you'll be leaving.

Luka: I'm not saying it like that.


Marinette: Then what are you saying?


Luka: I don't know what I'm trying to say. I'm trying to...

Marinette: Trying to what?

Luka: I'm trying to see if this can still work if I'm not here.

Marinette: It won't work if you're far away! I'm finally happy with someone and you're leaving when you know I can't fight my own battle when there's a villain out there. Who knows when that will happen if you're not here?

 Who knows when that will happen if you're not here?

Luka: I'm not sure if I can go.

Marinette: What?

Luka: I know I got accepted to the school, not sure if I'm ready to go. Not sure if you can handle it without me here. So... I'm gonna think about this.

Marinette: No. You're not dropping out because of me.

Luka: I didn't say I was. I'm just gonna think this over. That's all. Do you understand that?

Marinette: I guess I do.

Luka: There. See. *He kissed her on the cheek. * Nothing to worry about. Even if I am away, I'm gonna visit you, I promise.

 Even if I am away, I'm gonna visit you, I promise

Alya: Hey lovebirds, we're heading to the carnival. Come on.

Luka: Let's go. *They both walk down the bridge and follow the others. *
