CHAPTER 1

Beverly Hills, CA

Beverly Hills, a city in Los Angeles County, California, United States, and surrounded by the cities of Los Angeles and West Hollywood. A home to many actors and celebrities and sometimes referred to as "90210", one of its primary ZIP codes.

It could possibly be one of the best places to live. The weather was usually nice all year and there is quite a lot of fun things to do here.

This is not the case for 14 year old Marinette. She hated it here.

Why couldn't we just stay in Paris? She asked herself.

Her father had got a new job as an Executive Manager at a new Boeing Defense, Space & Security complex, while her mother owned an internationally famous entertainment business. Because of her father's new job they were forced to move across the world to live in Beverly Hills, leaving her friends behind in France.

'It'll be fun' he says. She thought to herself. 'You'll make new friends' she says. Yeah right… As if… I'm horrible at making friends.

Behind her, a redheaded girl about her age walked in the opposite direction, looking over a tourist map of the area.

Beside them on the curb, a taxicab pulled up and a blonde girl stepped out, looking around in awe. She wasted no time and headed straight into the clothing store in front of her.

Across the street, a yellow bus pulled up to its stop. A single girl disembarked, looking up at the gym before her in amazement. "Whoaa..." She exclaimed and hurried towards it.

She made her way inside and found a muscular guy standing in the middle of the room, blowing his whistle at people.

"Um, excuse me?" The girl asked, catching his attention. "I'm new in town and I was wondering, does your gym offer karate classes?"

The man smirked. "For who? Your grandmother?"

"Uh..." She looked at him in surprise.

He shook his head. "Sweetie, this gym only offers the latest in cutting-edge training regimen." He swept his hand out in front of him, indicating all the equipment. "Submersive Hydro Cycling." He explained as another young guy peddled as fast as he could in a water tank, only for a cage to open and release a piranha, causing him to go even faster in fear of being bitten. "Zero-gravity powerlifting." He said, gesturing to yet another man standing on a platform, bending down to grip the heavy weight when suddenly the platform he stood atop began blowing out an incredible force of wind, throwing him high into the air and into the ceiling.

Having seen enough, the girl backed away slowly. "He, he, he, uh..." She stammered before quickly running away back outside. "Wow, they sure take their workouts serious around here."

Down the street, the redheaded girl stopped in front of another fancy-looking building. "Hey, a book store. Maybe I can get all the reading material I'll need for my new school." She reasoned and went inside.

However, it didn't take her long to realize that something was... off about this 'book store'. There were no books. None. Fancy bags and gold bookmarks, but no books. "Uhh... Weird..." She muttered, rubbing the back of her head in confusion. Turning around, she noticed a finely dressed man walking towards her. "Oh! Pardon me, sir, can you tell me where you keep your books?"

"Oh, we don't carry books anymore," he said, waving his hand dismissively, "they scare the customers away. Print is so last century." He then slid over to where the bag and bookmark stood on a pedestal. "But, we do have these 24 karat, solid gold bookmarks, runway-ready bookbags, and of course our five-star, gourmet reading café." He smiled, holding up a cup of steaming coffee.

Quickly, the redhead left the store, waving her hands. "He, he, he..."

Behind her, the blonde girl walked down the sidewalk, arms full of bags from multiple different stores. She suddenly stopped, dropping everything to peer into the display window of a shoe shop. "Oh, my, gosh!" She exclaimed, practically drooling at the sight of a pair of red and cream, knee-high boots. "Yves Mont Blanc's latest boots! They so didn't carry these in my old hood! I have to have them!"

With surprising speed, she flew into the store, swiping the boots before another woman could grab them, and sauntered up to the cashier lady. "Excuse me, do you have these in a six and a half?"

Smirking devilishly, the lady took the boots from her. "All you need to know is that they're too expensive for you." She said, walking away.

The girl stood, mouth agape in shock. "That is like, so rude! And sooo chique!" She said, oddly excited by the rejection. "I just love Beverly Hills!" She shouted to herself as she went on her way with her bags.

Back with Marinette, she paused outside of a promising music store. "THE GROOVE MUSIC BOX. Huh, might as well give them a shot. I do need a new guitar..."

She walked inside, hearing soft music playing over the intercom. Smiling to herself, she began browsing around the store, looking at all their instruments. Drum sets, pianos, keyboards, violins, etc.

Finding a man she assumed worked there, she waved him over. "Pardon but I'm looking for a guitar."

"Ah, the only guitar we have for purchase would be that." He said, gesturing to a lone, beautiful, cherry red acoustic guitar in the very back, sitting on an elegant pedestal within a glass encasing.

"Oooo, how much?"

"$2,000."

"What?! 2,000 for that piece of wood?!" She exclaimed, frowning. She would be lying if she said she didn't want it so very badly...

"Of course, girl." He said as if it were obvious. "This guitar was forged from the most high-quality, and expensive, wood in the world. She has a gold bridge, perfectly balanced, and signed by Jimmy Page himself in white."

Pouting, Marinette turned and walked away. "Forget it."

Je déteste Beverly Hills! She thought to herself as she headed towards a sushi bar.

~HWG~

"Assets will reach target in t-minus 10 seconds." A feminine sounding computer voice reported as a worker in cleaning gear, standing atop a high platform on the side of a building, projected a holographic image of the sushi bar onto the glass window with a window scraper. Next to the hologram was a live video of the four teenage girls walking below him.

"Cluck, cluck." The gray-haired man said. "The chickens have left the roost. Repeat: the chickens have left the roost. Time to put Operation Sushi Roll into effect."

"Are you completely sure about this, sir?" Another man, much younger than the first, asked from the second window-cleaning platform.

"Sure as tea times 4pm."

"Activate chain of command." The computer said.

A mailman standing in front of a mailbox pulled the brim of his hat down to shield his eyes from the blonde girl as he watched her pass. Once she was away he quickly reached down and opened the bottom portion of the box, revealing a small keyboard and screen. He inputted a command and looked up to see a jet plane flying overhead.

On the plane, an alarm blared loudly, signaling the pilots to initiate their end of the plan, which included sending a command to a satellite in space.

The satellite received the orders and launched a rocket-powered projectile at the Earth.

Traveling fast, the projectile suddenly began to slow down as it's rockets stopped. Then, on the tip of the object, a laser fired, aiming for the screws attached to the giant sushi roll on top of the restaurant below.

~HWG~

Marinette stood in front of the sushi bar, reading over a poster on the restaurant's wall. Beside her, a dark haired girl accidentally bumped into her.

"Oopsie." The girl said, rubbing the back of her head nervously. "Sorry about that."

"It's okay." Marinette said, nodding. Behind her, the redhead and blonde girl appeared as well.

Unbeknownst to the four girls, above them the laser had hit it's target and completely burned off the screws holding the giant pair of crossed chopsticks, causing them to immediately start to fall over.

The girls screamed out in fright as the massive chopsticks impaled the ground in front of them, inches from killing them.

"What the heck was that?!" Marinette asked no one in particular as she cautiously went over to one of the red, metal sticks and tapped on it. "This thing almost killed us!"

The other three girls examined the death-bearing objects as well, only to stop upon hearing a groaning sound. Looking up, the girls screamed once again as the giant sushi roll toppled over the building and descended towards them.

The blonde, in a panic, tossed her shopping bags into the air and jumped surprisingly high out of harm's way. Marinette and the other two did the same, diving to avoid injury.

They watched on as the sushi continued its destructive path down the street, hitting cars and even smashing a cage full of animals apart, letting them all free.

"Woah... We are so lucky we didn't get pummeled..." The redhead said, helping Marinette stand up.

"Lucky us..." Marinette muttered.

Across the street, the gray-haired man leaned against the platform and pushed a button in his hand. At that moment, a long lightpole rose out of the ground through a manhole cover. The pole stopped the sushi's rampage, but then sent it tumbling back the way it came, back towards the bar.

"Ugh, even the sushi has an attitude in Beverly Hills." The blonde complained, dusting off her outfit.

The dark haired girl spoke up as she stood. "Maybe it's just trying to get back to the ocean?" She said optimistically.

The redhead turned after hearing the screams of nearby people and her eyes widened. "Uh, apparently the oceans this way! Run for it!"

The girls screamed again and made a run for safety. Unfortunately for them, the sushi had other plans and before Marinette could realize what happened, she found herself on top of the large roll. Screaming, she instinctively grabbed hold of the three other girls and kept her feet moving to stay upright. "How on Earth is this even possible?!"

"I have no idea but we're in big trouble!" The redhead shouted.

"Hey, we're not the only ones in trouble!" The dark haired girl said and nodded her head below them. "Check out that poor little piggy!"

Marinette glanced down and saw that there was indeed a small pig running in front of them for dear life.

"We have to stop this thing before it turns all five of us into bacon!" The redhead said and looked up to see the archway entrance for The Groove. "Okay, we're gonna need a long piece of rope."

The blonde let go of her new companions and pulled off her purple belt. "Here, we can use this."

"Great." The redhead said and nodded to the archway. "Now we have to figure out how to get one end onto the roll and the other to that archway."

"Well, I can handle the archway." The dark haired girl said and took one end. "Yeah no prob." She then leaped high into the air and landed perfectly onto the arch. Quickly, she tied her end to it securely and gave a thumbs up.

Nodding, Marinette took the buckle end of the belt and spun it around. "Time to bail." She announced and let the belt extend downwards and snag onto the bottom of the roll.

"Hi-yaaaah!" The girls exclaimed, jumping off of the sushi.

Meanwhile, the pig hit a dead end upon reaching the street full of fast-traveling cars.

Quickly, the dark haired teenager jumped away from the arch just as the belt pulled back on the roll, grabbing the piggy. The momentum caused the roll to spin incredibly fast around the archway. The four watched on as it continued to spin wildly before imploding on itself, throwing smaller sized sushi rolls high into the air.

Everyone sat there quietly as the sushi rained down on them.

"... Woah..." The blonde exclaimed, breaking the awkward silence. "That was a very close call."

"Totally..." The dark haired girl said as the pig jumped from her arms and went the opposite way.

Beside Marinette, the redhead stood, dusting herself off and fixing her hair. "Well, after that bizarro experience, I guess we should introduce ourselves." She extended her hand out to Marinette. "Hi, I'm Sam."

Marinette hesitated only for a split second but soon found herself shaking the stranger's hand. "Bonjour, I'm Marinette."

The other two girls walked over and the dark haired teen spoke. "Hey, I'm Alex and you guys totally rocked back there." She said, shaking Marinette's hand then Sam's.

The blonde nodded. "I know right? I'm Clover and aside from the terror we just went through, it's a total pleasure to meet you all."

"Hey, maybe we should all hang out at the mall and get a milkshake to forget about our emotions..." Sam suggested.

Clover nodded with enthusiasm. "Yeah, sounds like a good idea to me."

Both Marinette and Alex nodded as well. "Let's do it!" Alex said, clearly excited.

Laughing, the four high fived each other.

"Oops, wait, almost forgot." Clover said and went back to the arch to grab her useful belt. "Accessories like these don't grow on trees."

"Say, where'd you get such a long and stretchy belt anyway?" Marinette asked.

"I honestly don't know but let's not question it." Clover said with a shrug.

"Good point..."

~HWG~

Beverly Hills High School. My new prison for the next four years... Marinette thought to herself, standing in the large crowd of high school students outside the main building. I suppose my time here can't get much worse.

Although she found it difficult to accept, she actually did have a pretty good time yesterday morning with her first American companions. Sam, Clover, and the adorable Alex. Whoa, 'adorable'? Slow down there Marinette. You just met them. The four of them had a wonderful time at the mall, getting to know each other a lot better. She had to admit she found a cool and funny group of people.

Aaaand now I'm at school again... A freshman on top of that... Way to ruin the fun.

"Alright, so, welcome to Bev High, everyone!" A voice announced loudly over the PA system. "All new students need to totally report to the principal's office, like, ASAP."

"I guess that's me." Marinette muttered to herself and cut through the crowd to get inside and find the principal's office.

~HWG~

"And now I'm hopelessly lost." Marinette complained, wondering the pretty much empty halls of the large building. "This day just keeps getting better and better."

She glanced at her watch and began to pick up the pace. "Don't have much longer till classes start."

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, she found what had to be the office. Quickly, she moved to the door and prepared to enter, only to find herself wedged between the door frame and a dark haired person beside her. "Ow, we can't all go through the same doorway now can we?" She said in annoyance.

"Marinette?" The dark haired girl next to her said.

Marinette immediately perked up a little. "Alex? What are you doing here?"

"I go here now." Alex said cheerfully then looked to the other two people stuck with them. "Hey, Sam! Hey, Clover! You're here too."

Before the girls could respond they all fell forward as Marinette attempted to force her way through the door, landing on the long and elegant purple rug.

"I just transferred here." Alex explained.

"Really?" Marinette asked, smiling. "I did too."

"Me three." Sam said, equally excited.

"And me four!" Clover added, "this is like the craziest coincidence in history."

"I know right." Alex said, nodding in agreement. "It's like we're meant to be together or something."

"Ahem." A female voice announced, standing over the girls. "I don't suppose you can break from your fraternizing to meet your new principal." She said, clearly very irritated. The woman wore a dress suit of light and dark green, much taller than the three average height teenagers, a monocle on her left eye, and short, pink hair.

"Oh, you must be Ms. Scritch." Sam said, quickly standing up and giving the woman a smile. "I'm Sam and I just wanted to let you know that I've signed up for multiple advanced classes, written a term paper, been on a few field trips, and some advanced summer reading."

"...Wow, Sam, over prepared much?" Marinette said, shaking her head. "I thought summer was supposed to be, oh I don't know... fun?"

"Yeah, you must be a big time brainiac." Alex said.

Ms. Scritch leaned forward. "Well, that's all very wonderful, but this school doesn't look kindly to... grade grubbers."

Sam looked at her in confusion. "But, I-"

"AND!" Scritch said, interrupting her, "don't think that just because you four are new here that you deserve special treatment." She turned away from them and walked towards her desk. "Enjoy your time at Beverly High."

~HWG~

The four girl's pushed open a set of double doors and entered the school's cafeteria. "Is it just me or is Ms. Scritch a real witch?"

"Let's just say she's about as friendly as a jail guard." Clover said with a nod.

"I just hope some of the other Beverly VIPs are nicer than she was." Alex said.

They stopped walking as three other girls stepped in front of them. "Hola, newbies." The girl in the middle said, gesturing to herself. "I am Mandy. In crowd ambassador of Bev High." The two other girls gave a small giggle as Mandy wrapped her arms around Clover and Sam's shoulder. "I insist you let me buy you a first-day double chai latte from the in-school latte bar."

"Uh, sure thing Mandy." Sam said with a smile.

"Yeah, sounds great." Alex agreed.

Marinette, on the other hand, didn't seem too inclined to trust this Mandy girl. "Hmm..." She hummed in uncertainty.

Mandy walked over to the machine and began pushing buttons, picking out the latte she promised.

"I can't believe we've only been here fifteen minutes and we're already with the in-crowd." Clover said, excitement clear in her voice.

"I hope you girls like extra foam." Mandy said, stepping to the side.

"My middle name is foam." Alex said, smiling.

Mandy laughed and pulled on the machine's lever. Instantly, the whole thing started to shake and made a lot of noise, steadily getting a little louder.

"Um, I don't know about this..." Marinette said, taking a step back. Before she could panic further, the machine stopped and a single, harmless cup dispensed from it.

"Huh?" The girls breathed, stepping closer.

"See, Madi, it's just a cup." Clover whispered, "nothing to worry about."

Right after she said this, the latte machine seemed to explode, firing off a large and powerful torrent of the chai latte right at the girls. The blast was so strong it pushed the four of them across the cafeteria and into the outside courtyard, slamming them into the tree directly in the center for all to see.

Marinette groaned, glancing around at all the students around them pointing and laughing. "I knew she was no good."

A shadow cast over them and they looked up to see Mandy and her friends grinning at them. "Welcome to Bev High, losers!" Mandy announced and walked off with her posse, letting out a very high pitched, irritating laugh.

"Okay, it's official. I'm completely humiliated." Sam said.

Alex, who somehow ended up on top of Marinette's lap, spoke up. "Look on the bright side, at least we have each other. You guys are like my NBGFs."

Clover looked at her with a raised eyebrow. "NBGFs?"

"Yeah, my New Best Girl Friends."

"Aww, I feel the same way." Clover said, sitting up.

Sam raised her hand. "Me too! Which is why I vote the four of us stick together."

"Awww, group hug!" Alex said, spreading her arms out, still in Marinette's lap.

Sam and Clover moved over to them and the four girl's pulled each other into a big hug.

"Uh, Sam?" Alex said, breaking the comfortable silence. "When you said 'stick together' I didn't know you meant literally..." She said, pulling her stuck hand on Alex and Sam's back. The girls had a small freak out, trying to force themselves apart from the sticky latte covering them.

Eventually, the four of them did manage to get unstuck and fell to the ground in a laughing heap.

"I guess that double chai latte really thrashed our threads." Sam said, looking down at her clothes.

"No worries," Clover said, wiggling her bare toes, "I am totally prepared for such an unfortunate situation like this."

A/N: Yes, I changed Madison's name to Marinette. "Madison" was always a placeholder because I couldn't think of any good ones, but after narrowing down a list I was able to choose.

That's that. Hope you enjoy this story as I have fun writing them :)
