*Please read Authors Note at end of the Chapter*
It was another boring regular day in school. Nino had his head phones on, Adrien was scribbling on scratch paper, Alya was on her phone, Marinette was
designing a dress, Chloe was filing her nails, Sabrina was doing Chloe's homework, Max was writing game codes on a piece of paper, Kim was falling asleep, Nathaniel
was doodling, Alix was throwing a ball from her hand lightly, then catching it again, Ivan stared at the teacher having his head rest on his hand, Mylene was staring at
Ivan, Juleka was tapping her pencil on her desk, And Rose was playing with her hands creating little people and making them walk on her half of the desk. The last bell
rang and everyone stood quickly and tried their best to be the first one out. Ms. Bustir stopped them by standing in front of the closed door with her arms spread across
it.
"No One is going anywhere yet. I have an announcement to make once everyone is seated." She said with authority causing everyone to go back to their seats
in defeat. "Thank you. Mr. Damocles, Ms. Mendeleiev, and I have been observing your behavior lately. We have been planning a major field trip and think you all have
deserved it." Just from the words field trip and deserved, the class was ecstatic. None of them have been on a field trip since grade school. All except Adrien who has
never been on a field trip at all. "Your Homework for tonight is to try to guess three possible places we could be going and to write them down. Turn it in tomorrow
morning and I will see if any of you were correct. The official location will be revealed tomorrow morning. Dismissed." She said moving away from the door. The students
piled out of the class and chattered about where their field trip could possibly be. The next morning, the students all turned in their papers to the basket sitting on Ms.
Bustir's desk. They were all practically jumping in their seats as they waited for class to begin. They noticed Ms. Mendeleiev's class starting to file in behind her. They all
sat in any empty seat they found, which was mostly in the back of the room. Once both classes were seated, the doors closed and both teachers stood in the front of the
room.
"Good morning class. From what I can see, most of you thought our field trip was going to be somewhere like the zoo, or the Eiffel tower." Said Ms. Bustir as she
shuffled between the papers in her hands briefly reading each students ideas on where their field trip would be.
"I assure you, that you were all wrong." Ms. Mendeleiev said with more energy than her normal self. This caused the students to have a bit confusion, sadness,
and excitement all at once. Where could they possibly be going? "Our field trip is going to be in…" she continued,
"New York City, America!" Both teachers said in unison. Marinette gasped in shock. A field trip to The United States of America?! Not any regular old state, but
New York?! The place where some of her favorite fashion designers started?! She squealed in excitement along with the rest of the class. Even Adrien was excited not
taking in consideration of how protective and strict his father was about him.
"This will be a group project to help us get used to working in new environments. We will be staying for a month. There, very few people will speak French. We
will have to get used to the time difference as well. Does anyone know what the time difference from Paris to New York is?" Ms. Bustir asked. No one but Adrien raised
their hand.
"Paris is 6 hours ahead of New York." He answered.
"That is correct" Ms. Bustir responded. "Our field trip will be on April 27th. A month from now. The school will be paying for all the expenses such as a hotel room,
food, and the activities that we will be doing. All you have to pay is a small fee of 15 Euros by April 17th. We will be staying in New York for One month. I know that is a
long time away from home, but it is for educational reasons. If we want to learn about the true history of America, we must stay there for as long as possible. I will
individually talk to your parents and tell them the importance of this trip and see if they will allow you to come. I highly encourage you to try your best to persuade
them as well to allow you to come. I would hate for you to miss an amazing opportunity such as this one." She said leaving many of the students either super confident,
or super unsure. Especially Adrien who was extremely unsure if he would be going since his father didn't even let him come to this school at first due to how protective
he was. Marinette was also in the same boat as him. One whole month in another country is a long time. She didn't know if her parents were ready to let their 17 year
old daughter go this far from them. "Now before we go, we will be spending two weeks discussing about the history of America so that way we are somewhat educated
before we go. Once your parents have told you 'yes you can go', then let me know for the next pair f two weeks will be planning the trip. Now please get out your History
books out and turn to page 125." She said as the students' fiddled in their book bags for their books. The class continued and the students learned about early settlers
and how they left England to start a new life. When the last bell rang, the students practically ran out of class to tell their parents about the trip.
~Marinette~
Marinette called her parents into the living room as soon as she got home. She was going to tell them together.
"Mom, Papa, There is this field trip that's going to happen in April and I really want to go!" She said conveniently leaving out where it is going to be for now.
"That sounds nice. I think it is a great idea. Is there any cost?" Her mom asked joyfully
"Ya, 15 Euros." She answered
"that's not too bad. Where is It to?" her father asked.
"umm," she sighed and put on the cutest little smile she could manage. "New York, America." She said almost in a question form. Her parents were surprised by
the news that their daughter wanted to go to another country with her school.
"How long will you be there?" her dad asked
"One month" she answered softly. Her parents looked at each other and smiled as if they had
just communicated to each other only with their eyes. Marinette stood in front of them with her head down but looking at them, and her hands holding on to each
other in front of her.
"I suggest you start planning what you are going to take." Her mom said with a big smile. Marinette gasped.
"So I can go?!" she asked in shock. They simply nodded their heads yes as Marinette jumped to them and gave them a big hug. "Thank you!" she squealed. This
went better then she had thought it would. She ran upstairs and called Alya. When she answered, they both said in unison
"I CAN GO!" They giggled realizing their excitement. It had been easy on Alya. All she did was ask straight up if she can go and her mom said yes. Nino was also
able to go easily, but It wasn't so easy for Adrien.
~Adrien~
It has been at least one hour since Adrien got home. He was avoiding his father. He was scared to ask him the question on his mind.
"Come on! Just ask him Already!" Plagg complained.
"It's not that easy Plagg." Adrien responded calmly. Before he could make sure he was 100% ready to ask his father, Nathalie knocked on his door saying that Gabriel wanted to see him. This was it. The time to tell him about the field trip. Plagg stayed in the room as Adrien walked down the narrow halls of his house and to his
father's office. He lightly knocked on the big white door. He waited a few seconds before he heard a soft 'Come in'. Adrien walked in the office with his head hung low in
fear. His father was sitting at his desk with his hands folded in front of him.
"Your Teacher gave me a call today. She said that there will be a field trip to New York City in a month. Is this true?" he asked his son.
"y-yes father. And I wanted to ask you if I can go," he said but he noticed his dad had a face of disapproval. "Please, Please, Please?! This is a once in a life time
opportunity to go to a prepaid trip to New York. I can learn about stuff out side of Paris and-"
"Adrien. This is a big responsibility on your teachers. They will be caring for two classes in another country."
"But I promise I'd call you every day! I'd let you know if I am safe and what we are doing and where we are going! Three mature adults will be with us along
with a big group of students. I'm sure I'd be safe! I can even-"
"Adrien Agreste! You will not be going to New York with Your classmates! It's far too dangerous and I will not accept it. End of discussion!" Gabriel finalized. Three
days later, Adrien was allowed to go after hours and hours of persuasion. It took Adrien saying that he can find places for new photoshoots and that Chloe was going.
Since Gabriel trusted Chloe, he finally gave in. It was official. Everyone in the classes was allowed to go. After two weeks of American history, it was finally time to plan
the trip.
"Ok class, today, we will be making your groups for the trip. There will be four groups of four, and one group of three. Everyone find your groups, and remember
that only the last three remaining students will be the group of three, so please try to find four students" Ms. Bustir said. Alya looked at Marinette with a devious smile.
She already somewhat knew what was coming. Marinette tried to hold her back but it was too late. Alya practically jumped and landed in between Nino and Adrien.
"Hey guys! Wanna be in a group with Marinette and I? She asked quickly seeing as Chloe and Lila was running up to Adrien to ask him to be in their group.
Seeing this, both Nino and Adrien nodded their heads and said 'Sure'
"WHAT?! THAT'S NOT FAIR! I SAW HIM FIRST! I WAS GOING TO ASK HIM!" Chloe and Lila yelled in unison. They both crossed their arms and looked at each
other as Alya shrugged her shoulders without a care. "How about it?" Lila asked Chloe. She nodded her head in agreement as they both walked up to the front row of
seats to the right of the classroom with their heads held up high in anger. Marinette giggled at their demeanor.
"I guess they're perfect together since they both have a killer attitude." She said making Aly giggle. All the sudden, Marinette gasped in disbelieve. She was
working with Adrien Agreste! She had a quick panic attack then was as happy as could be, then she was as pale as snow in winter with fear, all in 30 seconds. Her
hands shook nervously as Alya laughed.
"Calm down girl! You should be thanking me. It's not like you would have the guts to do it. You have been all like 'uh-eh-oh-ah" Alya said imitating Marinette's
nervous movements. "By the time you'd get one word out, Lila or Chloe would have gone to New York with him, come back, and go to college!"
"Your right, but can I really work with…him without getting all flustered?" The dark haired girl asked in concern.
"I'll be there to help you! Don't worry about a thing!" Alya said to her best friend. She simply received a nervous smile from Marinette. Once all the teams were
made, Ms. Bustir had some students help her move some tables together so that they can all sit in a group. It was a bit hard considering the class was in levels, but they
were able to manage. The four chairs of each table were put in a way that all the students can see the front of the class. Everyone sat at their new seats. Marinette
blushed immediately noticing that she could now see Adrien's face rather than the back of his head since she now sat across from him.
"Ok class now please take out a piece of paper and number it 1 through 32. I will tell you what you will need to write next to each number. " said Ms. Bustir. The
students did as told as they were given the activities they would be doing each day.

"As you can see, on day 26, it says 'NYC Party of Paris' This is because New York will be throwing a ball for us in honor of us teaching you guys about America
and choosing to stay in New York. Please dress formal, it is a ball." Ms. Bustir said. Marinette couldn't help herself but want to make her own dress. No! Make her dress
and Alya's! She was already planning the designs in her head. As the days went on, Marinette worked on making the dresses while keeping it a surprise from Alya. The
students had been discussing what they would do with their free days and how they were going to work out the living arrangements. They had an assignment of listing
5 things that New York had that Paris didn't, then write about the experience and what they learned in an essay form. This was going to be an amazing experience.
A/N: Ok so first of all thank you for reading. I know this was a lengthy read but you did it! You reached the end. Second of all, I know I went out on a Leap of faith with
this story making it super unrealistic, but I really wanted to do this story Idea. I thought it was somewhat different, and would be fun to imagine our favorite class in
New York. Third of all, I know there might be some questions about this so I'm going to answer some that I think you might have.
Q- What about Paris? How will it stay safe with Ladybug and Chat Noir in New York?
A-
Let's just pretend that this is a different universe and that Hawk Moth didn't do evil stuff anymore. I really want this story to focus on their civilian self's.
Q- How did the school get all this money to send their students to another country?
A-
Because Reasons. Ever heard of Movie/T.V Show logic? Welp that's what I'm going with
Q- Why is the field trip so cheap?
A-
Because I made it that way
Q- What does the list of things they will do say?
A-
There is an English version next chapter. I wanted to write it in French to embrace the language
they speak. They will be speaking short paragraphs of French in New York to represent what other people hear, but I will put translations.
Q- I know this isn't a question but they do speak French in New York. It's the most diverse place in the world for languages speaking over 800.
A-
I know that. Just some more of that Movie Logic you love J
If there is any more questions regarding the story or comments you like to tell me, please leave them in my PM or the Review section. I did what you guys told me and I
spaced the lines. I hope this made it better. I will be writing more chapters to this. Each day in New York = One Chapter. Au Revoir! 3
