At first tthe task was no trouble. Then, they realized that the crocodile didn't like to be left alone. That left only one option. Marinette's parents talked with the principal and she did all the research necessary and that'ss how Marinette ended up walking into school ten minutes before tthe rest of class with Jaged Stone's pet on a leash.

"Thanks for letting me bring him," She told her teacher, "Mama and Papa were really worried that he would destroy the house if we left him alone again."

"It's quite alright, Marinette. And thank you for doing all that research on allergies to make sure Fang wouldn't give any allergic reactions."

"The websites said that no one shoulld be affected as long as those who are allergic don't pet him. And why would anyone touch something thier allergic to!"

"Well said. However, you will have to sit in the back because of how much space he takes up and how much of a distraction he would be."

Marinette nodded, "Alright."

With that, she took Fang and sat in the back left seat. Fang hopped up next to har and lie his head in her lap, tail thumping on the bench. The rest of the class soon began to filter in.

"Marinette?"

"What happened?"

"Why are you sitting in the-*Gasp*!"

Adrien, Alya, and Nino had come to the back to see what was going on with their friend. All three began showering the beloved crock with affection causing Fang's tail to thump on the bench once more. Fang even gave Adrien a few playful kisses as he was the one he knew best after Marinette.

"What's going on here?" Came the sickeningly sweet voice of Lila.

"My Uncle asked me to watch his Crocodile for a little bit," Marinette explained, "I worked it out with Principal Damocles to bring him here because he doesn't like to be left alone."

Lila put her hands on her hips, "Are you seriously trying to claim that Jagged stone is your uncle?"

"Oh! Uncle Jagged and Aunt Penny aren't my real aunt and uncle. Their honorary family! Papa doesn't have any siblings and all of Mama's family lives in China."

"You spend enough time with them that they might as well be your real family!" Alya joked.

Marinette blushed.

"Really, it's a bit annoying how often she's in the hotel because of it," Cloe groused.

"If you two are so close then why hasn't he ever mentioned you?"

"I don't know," Marinette shrugged, "Do you want to pet Fang? Class hasen't started yet you're not allergic so it should be fine. You know Fang doesn't bite."

Lila sneared at them, "I'll pass."

Cloe looked over her shoulder at them, "Did I hear you say that Jagged Stone never talks about Dupen-Chang? 'Cuse that's a bold faced lie. He never shuts up about her! And how talented she is."

"I was there this weekend," Lila lied, "He never said a word about her."

"No you weren't," Sabrina pipped up, "I was over all weekend. All Friday he and Penny gushed over how well she was going to take care of Fang and about the new matching outfits she had designed for all of them. Then on Saturday Marinette came to pick up Fang and they left for New York. Um...why were they going to New York, Cloe?"

"His coousin's cat had kittens. He got the pick of the litter."

"But, Lila," Alya turned, "Didn't you say Jagged Stone is allergic to cats?"

"Alright, Class. Everyone to their seats."

Much to everyone's surprise, Adrien moved Fang's tail and sat next to Marinette. As she had promised, Fang sat still and silent threw the whole day. He ate lunch with Marinette and her friends in the courtyard as Alya and Nino talked about how they wondered what other lies Lila had told them all.
