Part 1
“Ladybug! What can I do for you?” the saleslady exclaimed in surprise as she saw the superhero entering her shop.
Ladybug pulled out some folded euro notes from her yo-yo. “I need to order a baseball cap,” she told her. “With embroidery. How long would it take to be ready?”
“That depends,” the saleslady said cheerfully. “What kind of embroidery do you need?”
“One color,” she replied. “An easy to read font--this is just between us, right? It needs to be a surprise.”
“Absolutely,” the woman agreed. “Something simple like that… I could have it done by tomorrow. What would you like it to say?”
“Sorry, I’m not Adrien,” Ladybug replied, writing it down on the order form that the woman pushed in front of her. “The person in question seems a little confused about that. I thought it might help him out.”
The saleslady laughed loudly. “Oh my goodness. This has something to do with that video that was going around doesn’t it? I can’t make you pay to give that person anything!”
“Please do,” Ladybug insisted. “I assure you it will be worth every cent to me and you should be paid for your work.”
“Well,” the woman faltered. “At least let me give you our staff discount.”
“Deal,” Ladybug smiled happily. “I’ll be back tomorrow to pick it up.”
“See you then,” the woman said, chuckling. “I’ll be sure to use your colors.”
Ladybug nodded and winked at her in acknowledgement before leaving the shop.

Dear Ms DuBois,
I really enjoy working with all of you. I never expected to have anything take off like this and you have been super helpful.
If you don’t mind, I’d like a black baseball cap with the Ladyblogger logo embroidered on it. I’d like to change it somewhat by adding ‘Mr.’ in the same font. Do you think that would be possible?
Thanks again,
Alya Cesaire
*****************
Dear Ms Cesaire,
We can absolutely do that! I have already spoken to our graphics department and I’ve attached a proof of the adapted logo to this email. What do you think?
Best,
Genevieve DuBois

Dear Ms DuBois,

“Babe!” Alya exclaimed as Nino came into her parents apartment. “Look what the merch company sent me! Isn’t it cute?”
“Ah damn, they must have watched that video,” Nino groaned. “They just randomly sent you that? I guess they thought I’d like it.”
“Well, don’t you? It’s adorable!” Alya exclaimed as she held the hat out to him.
“Uh, of course I do! I… needed a new hat anyway,” Nino took it from her and when she continued to look at him expectantly, he sighed and took off his old hat and replaced it with the new one.
“Aw, thanks Babe… or should I call you Mr. Ladyblogger now?” she asked giggling as he furrowed his brow at her. “Ok, I won’t do that.”
