I am going to be administering a state math exam to a blind student. Until it is time for the exam to start, I am laying on the ground underneath my desk and staring up at the bottom of my desk.
When it is time for the exam to start, I go to a classroom with 4 students. I sit in a corner with the blind student and begin reading the exam to the student. We are making decent progress through the exam when we decide to break for lunch.
During lunch, the student has me take him to Walmart to get ingredients for a cake. We get everything we need and go to a house in the suburbs in the mountains to bake the cake. The child and a blind, elderly lady work together to make the cake. They put it in the oven, and I look down at the time. It is after 4, so the student is out of time for the exam. I begin to panic about losing my teacher certification for allowing this to happen.
I take the student into the backyard, sit on a wooden swing, and resume administering the exam. We are struggling to make progress since he cannot see his own work through the problems, which I am transcribing.
"I know it's not the same as braille and this is ordinary paper, but would you be able to read your work if I pressed on the paper to indent the work. I can write backwards so that it's in order when we flip the page so the embossed side is up?" I ask the student.
"No, I can't. The letters are too small," he replies.
I sigh and continue administering the test. I drag his hand along the materials that are in braille so that we are on the same page. (metaphorically)
Suddenly, I recall the cake. I send the student home and run inside the house to check on it. The cake is a burned, bubbling mess. I then spend the evening making a new cake with proper proportions.

Ladybug, Chat Noir, Alya, and Nino are all arguing in a warehouse. Ivan, Mylene, and Rose are standing nearby observing. Ladybug transforms back into Marinette and everyone is shocked.
Chat Noir tries to kiss Marinette, but he is rejected. Marinette reminds Chat Noir that she likes someone else. Chat Noir then transforms back into Adrien. Marinette recognizes him and is stunned.
"Adrien," she says before wrapping her arms around him and kissing him on the cheek.
Adrien pushes Marinette away. "I thought you liked someone else."
"Adrien, I like you."
"But you don't like Chat Noir, and we're the same."
Adrien turns away from Marinette. She places her hand on his shoulder. Suddenly, everyone is flung into a time pocket.
The time pocket is centered around a living room in the desert. Chloe (dressed as Queen Bee) and Master Fu are sitting in the living room waiting for everyone.
Marinette decides to explore outside to look for a way back to the real world. Outside, she discovers a piece of paper which gives her a vision when she touches it.
Marinette's vision is of a young girl singing and climbing a brick wall surrounding the house the living room is located in. Marinette decides that the girl's happiness means that connections to the real world and happiness are the key to escaping the time pocket. She then re-enters the house to speak to Master Fu.
Master Fu recognizes the time pocket and decides he has been there before in another time line. In this other time line, Master Fu was in love with Ladybug. In the current time line, he is not.
Marinette tells Master Fu her discovery, and he inquires about it because he wants to change something about the other time line. Marinette is cautious about the information she shares because she doesn't want to cause a severe alteration to reality by changing things in the time pocket.
Master Fu shakes Marinette and tells her that he loves her. This causes Marinette to stumble backwards, stunned, and Master Fu to be freed from the time pocket.
Marinette returns to her friends and shares her discovery of how to leave the time pocket. She has decided that they must show their true feelings for someone else in the group. However, it has to be whoever they were closest to before they entered the time pocket.
Ivan kisses Mylene, but nothing happens. Nino moves near Alya and nothing happens. Marinette is struck with another vision of everyone in their superhero form. She decides that nothing is happening when they near each other because they need to be moving at the same speed as when they transform.
Everyone piles into a car. Marinette is driving. Adrien is in the passenger seat. Everyone else is squished into the back seat.
Alya looks up at Nino and says "Carapace 'n Rena" as she lays her head on his shoulder. A peaceful look goes over their faces and they close their eyes. They do not move anymore. Their bodies are trapped in this loop until everyone else is free, but their souls are back in the real world.
Chloe looks at Rose who smiles back at her. "Pollen," Chloe says and Rose smiles. They lean back in their chairs and are content.
Meanwhile the car is speeding along a road that will end soon. Ivan and Mylene are determined to wait for Adrien and Marinette to be close to expressing their feelings before leaving the time pocket. Ivan leans forward and talks to Marinette about Adrien.
Marinette gets frustrated and exclaims, "I didn't know they weren't different people. I just knew I loved Adrien. There's only been Adrien. I never looked elsewhere. I never knew I loved Chat Noir".
Adrien over hears this and leans forward to see Marinette. "You love me," Adrien says with awe.
Ivan leans back into his seat and kisses Mylene knowing Adrien and Marinette will exit the time pocket soon. Ivan and Mylene are released from the time pocket.
"Yes," Mariette replies as she holds Adrien's hand. "I love you as Chat Noir and Adrien. I just never thought they'd be the same person. I brushed you off because I was in love with you and thought you were a flirt. I was wrong. Chat you're-" Adrien cuts her off with a kiss just before the car crashes into a concrete wall.
Everyone exits the time pocket and is in a living room back in the real world. Adrien and Marinette are standing there holding hands. Everyone is confused and dazed from the time jumps.
When the confusion clears, Marinette throws her arms around Adrien's neck. Adrien's hands go to her waist. "I love you Chat," she says just before he kisses her. Everyone else sees and smiles.
"I see you two patched things up," Alya says.
They break away and smile as their cheeks flush. Marinette looks up to see Master Fu is not there. She is confused and begins to wonder where he is.

My friends and I are going to a dance, but first we need to stop by Walmart to finish making our dresses. My dress has a lot of tulle, so it's quite fluffy.
Once our dresses are complete, we head to another section of Walmart for the dance. My dance partner is my geeky, gamer friend Seth. Seth danced with me and took me ice skating, all while never leaving Walmart. As we skate across the floor, colorful bursts of glitter cover the ice.
Soon, Seth and I move off the ice to dance around the aisles at Walmart. I tell him goodbye and run off to run some errands with my family.
My family leaves to go to a pet store with two cartoonish ducks and a giant lion with a gash in its leg and an eyeball poking through the gash. At the pet store, I learn that the lion is the grandfather of my giant, mainecoon cat.

It is the end of the world. If you go outside, it appears deserted. The wooden telephone poles are knocked over and hang over parts of the sidewalk. A girl named Izabelle (Izzy for short) is walking through a suburban neighborhood in the mountains. She is on edge, hears a noise, and runs into the nearest house for shelter. Inside the house she finds a man resembling Prince Charming and Mr. Collins (1995 Pride and Prejudice). He is handsome enough, but there is something off about him. Izzy apologizes for entering his house. She didn't realize it was occupied. She tries to leave, but Mr. Charming stops her.
"My love, you've come back!" he says while blocking the exit.
Izzy doesn't say anything. There's a threatening air about this man. He doesn't seem to be thinking clearly. Mr. Charming grabs Izzy by the arm and leads her into the nearby bedroom. He locks the door behind him.
"I thought you'd never come back, darling. I'm so happy to have you home. Things have really gotten into disrepair while you've been gone, but that doesn't matter right now. I'm just happy you're home."
Izzy tries to think of a way to explain that she has never met this man in her life and that she needs to leave, but the man's grip on her arm is exceptionally tight and there's a crazy look in his eyes. She decides to say nothing and wait for her opportunity to escape.
Weeks go by and Mr. Charming never lets Izzy out of his sight. He meticulously locks every door. He forces her to clean the house. He forces her into his bed. She patiently waits for a chance to escape this deranged man.
One day, Mr. Charming suddenly passes out in the middle of an afternoon. Izzy knows this is her only chance to escape. She pries the security bar off the sliding door, runs into the backyard, and scrambles up the 10 foot rock wall. Just as she reaches the top of it, Mr. Charming comes running out the backdoor.
"My love! Don't go! I'm sure we'll have a child soon! You just need to give me a little more time. Please come down! You'll hurt yourself!"
Izzy looks at the man with pity in her eyes and jumps over the wall into the neighbor's yard. She returns to the street and runs for her life. She hides herself in dip in the mountains nearby until she can devise a plan to get further from these suburbs and the dangers that lie within.
A few days go by, and she hears Mr. Charming's voice resonating with joy in the distance. Izzy pries herself from her hiding place and returns to the back wall to investigate. When she arrives, she finds Mr. Charming showing his new victim around. A young, blonde woman has entered the house seeking refuge. She looks up at the wall near where Izzy is hiding with sadness in her eyes. Izzy peeks over the wall to look at the woman. Her eyes meet those of Mr. Charming's next victim, and her heart breaks as recognition reaches them. His next victim is her sister.
