The room broke out whispers, bug it fell silent when Rin turned the projector on.

Alec: Welcome to the finals of our KIDZ+ competition! When today, one lucky winner will be announced as our brand new KIDZ+ weather girl!

Kim shot Max a grin and the boy flushed. They both remembered how the dark skinned gamer had enthusiastically cheered for Mireille, who he may have had a small crush on. Other people in the room shared looks. They were pretty sure there was akuma that day, when it wasn't such a common occurrence.

The crowd is chanting Mireille's and Aurore's names

Aurore Beauréal: Hi!

Mireille Caquet (waving): *giggles*

"Mireille and Aurore Beauréal? That's the contest where they met?" Catherine was basically bouncing with energy. "I'm so lucky to be watching this! No one in the Miroure club will believe me!"

"Hum, Mireille and Aurore Beauréal are married in the future." Matheus squeaked at the past and present people's confused looks. "Catherine, er, likes them a lot."

He didn't mention how he read so many fanfics that he would puke if he ever read another one about the "Weather Girls Couple". He also never forgive Cat for (unknownly, of course) making Tikki ship it too. He could never deny his kwami anything and now his internet history is full of Miroure fanart, fanfic and amvs.

Alec: We started off with 5000 contestants. But with the help of our audience at home, we whittled our talent down to just these two amazing young ladies! So, let's welcome our fantastic finalists. To my right, Aurore Beauréal, and to my left, Mireille Caquet! Who will be the lucky winner? Vote now! Text 1 for Aurore and 2 for Mireille. And remember, standard text message rates apply.

"Ah, I hate all this mystery!" Ariana exclaimed between Tom and Isabel. "Who won?"

Nobody answered and she was shushed by a nervous Tom. He wanted to finish watching the episode so he could talk to Sabine (his future wife, he still could believe it!) and his beautiful future daughter.

The screen changes scene to show an apartment with a young lady chasing a child.

Marinette Dupain-Cheng: Come on, Manon, give that back!

Manon: But I wanna be a fashion designer too!

Tom beamed at seeing his daughter on-screen and Sabine offered a small smile. Isabel and Ariana looked pretty happy for their friend and Gabriel seemed content (the young child said she wanted to be a fashion designer too, did that mean his friend's daughter wanted to be one too? Like him?). But, instead of focusing in their mother, the Agreste-Cheng siblings were staring at Manon.

"That's… Aunt Manon?" Hugo asked, disbelieving. The Césaire siblings also seemed surprised, but Emma was gaping.

"You know Manon?" Adrien was confused. He only met Manon once at a photo shoot and she was a kind girl, but he didn't think he would see her again, nor that his future children would consider her someone close. Emma nodded.

"Yeah she babysat us a lot when we were young." She said, looking at the picture of a beaming Manon in the screen Rin dutifully paused for the conversation. "She is an actress, not on tv, but on theater plays. She is so, you know, mature. It's strange. Aunt Manon is like one of those people that always seemed to be a grown up."

"A cool grown up, but one anyway." Matín grumbled, remembering how Manon was playful, but strict with them.

Marinette was still trying to thing of cute and childish Manon as a grown up serious actress that babysat Adrien Agreste's (and hopefully hers, too) children.

"I always thought she would have been a much calmer child. sMost of that energy went to acting, I suppose." Ella said, still frowning. "Seeing her like this reminds me of Emma when she was younger."

Ella's face was grim, like she was remembering and apocalypse of fire and blood instead of playing hide-and-seek with a ten-year-old Emma. Said girl bristled.

"Alright, enough." Rin said before Emma could open her mouth. "Let's go on."

Marinette crashes into the sofa.

Marinette: Manon, please, it's not finished! You're gonna ruin it!

Manon: (giggles)

Marinette: Huh? (Clumsily, she crashes into a table) Ah! Nnnngh...

"That reminds me of someone." Louise said, looking at her older sister. She could distinctly remember the black haired girl crashing into a table the previous day and sending Hugo's prized ballet shoes flying out of a window. He bitched for days after that.

Emma pouted. Why couldn't she keep Chat Noire's grace all the time?

Seeing the corner of her hat peeking out of the curtains, Marinette "sneakily" pulled the curtains, only to find out it was just a doll planted there by Manon.

Louise nodded approvingly. Some in the past group giggled along with Marinette's classmates. Everyone in the future knew what it was like to be fooled by Louise Agreste-Cheng, so the didn't dare comment.

"Wow, fooled by a child, Marinette." Kim teased. The Dupain-Cheng nodded mechanically, she was still nervous about everyone finding out she was Ladybug.

(She was not prepared, had no explanation, her tongue felt numb already and she could barely hear anything of the booming beats of her heart. Marinette was surprised she was still conscious.)

Marinette: Hmmm... Huh? Ah!

Manon(holding Marinette's phone): I'm gonna vote for Mireille, she's the best!

Matheus smiled and Cathetine's silent, but fierce disagreement. She was a huge Aurore fan.

Marinette: Hey, my phone!

Manon takes Marinette's hat, running away.

Marinette: Ughh... Why did I agree to do this again...?

Annelise agreed silently. There were many thing she was willing to do to keep her good girl act, but babysitting was one of them.

A small, unidentified creature peeks out of Marinette's hair. It was red, huge head

decorated with a black dot and cute deep blue eyes.

Marinette: Stay low, Tikki!

Everyone's eyes widened in shock, not necessarily for the same reason.

Marinette hoped they wouldn't have time to comment as the scene went on, but Rin paused the show, ignoring her pleading look.

Adrien didn't want to believe that the thing in Marinette's hair was a kwami. It wasn't that his classmate wasn't kind, sweet, brave and beautiful, she was, really. But he thought he would be able to pick out his lady from a crowd, that he knew her that well. Apparently, he didn't. He also hoped that maybe he would be able to get his Lady to like him more when they met each other while they were civilians, but Marinette already knew him and didn't like what she saw. Stuttering and fumbling, she couldn't make it clearer that she detested his presence. Great.

Emma and Hugo felt furious. Did their mother know they also had Miraculous? Why didn't she tell them? Why didn't she help them if she understood the struggle? The feeling of betrayal ate their hearts and both were trying to but back tears. What was next? Their father was Chat Noir? Matín was also a little unhappy. He knew his boss didn't own him anything, but some adult guidance would have been welcome and his heart felt heavy. Tikki also knew, didn't she? But he got no reaction from his hidden kwami.

On another note, Louise was about to go around dancing. She fucking knew it, ha. No normal parent would know their child was a super hero and just be chill about it.

Stella was content, along with Isabel. Tom and Sabine were good people, they would raise a fine miraculous holder. Annelise was a but disapproving at the kwami (she should be more careful), but the girl seemed good enough. Paris hadn't caught fire yet, anyways.

"Girl… What's that?" Alya questioned when she noticed her best friend wasn't going to say anything.

"Tikki." That was the only answer Marinette could bring herself to say. Thankfully, Rin took it was her cue and continued the episode.

Tikki: Don't worry. You know what? If you can handle Manon for a day, any villain here on out will be a piece of cake.

Matheus felt some of the heaviness in his heart evaporate. That seemed like something his Tikki would say. Everyone who hadn't connected the spots, er, dots looked confused at Tikki's words. Well, all of the kwami confused them.

The doorbell rings. Tikki hides and Marinette goes over to the door, opening it. There was a girl outside, with pretty red hair and glasses.

Marinette: Alya?

"That's my name, don't wear it out" Alya smiled, forgetting about Tikki for a moment and bumping her shoulder with Marinette's. The Dupain-Cheng smiled weakly, enjoying it.

Would her best friend still act like that when she found out Marinette had been lying?

Alya (thrusting her phone in Marinette's face): Hey, I got a huge scoop for you. Guess who's on a photoshoot in the park?

Marinette: Now? Adrien is in the park right now?

Alya: As we speak!

Marinette: Oh, gosh! What...what am I gonna say to him?

Everyone jumped at the change in the mood and Marinette's enthusiasm. Adrien wondered why she looked so excited to see and talk to him. The girl usually avoided him in school and wherever he found her. The rest of the room sans Emma, Stella and Fílix tried to not giggle at the obvious crush she had on her future husband.

Alya (imitating Marinette with weird gestures): The same thing as usual, I... uhhh... Dahee... Wha...Ahh...

"Well, what a deja vu." Laci wiggled her eyebrows at Hugo, who acted like that around Fílix. The middle Agreste-Cheng child blushed. He wasn't that bad.

Meanwhile, as Catherine giggled at Alya's imitation and stared pointedly at him, Matheus considered finding a hold to crawl in and die.

Marinette (amused): Stop it.

Manon: Uh, who's she?

Marinette: Whoops! I forgot about this little detail.

Alya: And who's she?

Marinette: This is Manon, one of my mom's friend's daughters. I'm watching her all afternoon. Oh no! I can't go out!

Alya: Let me guess. Another "you couldn't say no" favor?

"Does that happen a lot?" Isabel asked, finally finding the nerve to speak up.

"Yes, actually." Alya smiled as she remembered all the favors Marinette did simply because she could say no, like letting Juleka test her make up looks on her or making a free hat for Mylene's dad.

"I know some people like that, too." The Brazilian answered sympathetically, looking at the sheepishly duo of Tom and Ariana.

Marinette: No, I just couldn't...say...no.

Alya: Look, no problem! I'll look after your little detail for you.

Marinette: Thanks, but I'm responsible for her... Besides, I couldn't do that to you. She's... an absolute angel! (Screams) Manon! Put that down! Ugh! Come back!

Marinette chases Manon, who is carrying pots and pans, around the room. Alya sighed and leans against the sofa.

"Angelic, obedient." Nari said sarcastically, remembering the last time Fílix convinced her to help him babysit. Louise Agreste-Cheng may not be a brat to the likes of Manon, but she was difficult all on her own.

Meanwhile, Ella was having terrifying flashbacks with an young Emma, pots, pans and the police.

Alya: You're just a pushover, Marinette. I have to babysit my sisters all the time, which makes me an expert in dealing with angels.

That made Emma and Hugo smirk. They knew they were the only ones, other then their parents, that could effectively deal with their younger sister.

Manon: Who are you, anyway?

Alya: I'm a mythical unicorn from the world of Reespa, disguised as a totally fabulous human girl. I grant magical wishes, but only to little monkeys who behave!

Manon: (laughs) No, you're not! ...Are you?

Laughing echoed around the room.

"I can't believe she fell for that!" Maelys spoke for the first time, enjoying the scene. Remembering Louise believed the same thing until the previous year, Emma leaned over her.

"I know right, Louise?" The youngest blonde crossed her arms and huffed. You made one mistake and your sibling held it over your head forever.

Alya lifts Manon, imitating flight with her arms swinging the child and then putting her on Marinette's shoulder.

Alya: Okay, let's all go to the park!

Manon: Yay!

Marinette: Okay!

Back at the KIDZ+ studios, the voting is over.

Alec: This is the moment we've been waiting for! The viewers at home have made their decision, and the new KIDZ+ weather girl is...

Even though they knew the results, Catherine and Max leaned forward on their seats.

Mireille's percentage is much higher than Aurore's.

Alec: Mireille!

Aurore: (Gasps)

The crowd cheers and Aurore's is still in shock.

Max cheered a little at Mireille's victory while Cat grumbled a little but was still content. She liked the other candidate too. Some glanced sadly at poor Aurore, like Fílix, who wished he could comfort the blonde.

Alec: (To Aurore) I'm sorry you weren't chosen. Better luck next time!

Aurore: Ughh... (Leaves angrily)

Alec: What's the big deal? You only lost by half a million votes!

The screen goes black, then a huge widow is opened, light infiltrating the room it was showing with hundreds of scattering butterflies. There is a man in a purple suit and grey metal-looking mask.

All the light mood disappeared. They forgot that to have superheroes, you needed a villain. The past headline trio felt specially mission was to find the lost butterfly miraculous so it wouldn't fall in the wrong hands. Obviously, they failed.

Hawkmoth: The vibrations are so strong, I can feel the imminent anger and sadness. The moment of weakness at my next victim... Such easy prey for my akuma.

In his hands lands a with butterfly, black energy encompassing it so it became an akuma. The akuma is released, flying over Paris.

Seeing a miraculous holder like him using precious Noroo's powers for something so terrible made Hugo sick. He dreaded seeing his mother fighting someone so despicable. The boy was still mad at her, but he also loved her so much.

Angrily, Aurore gets in an elevator.

Aurore: I should have won, I have the talent, the star looks, everything! But she took everything away from me. They took everything away from me!

The power goes out.

Aurore: Uh? Ah!

The akuma enters the elevator..

Swinging her parasol had no effect in stopping the insect. Desperate, Aurore's opens it but the akuma infects it.

Aurore: Ngh! Ah!

"That's like an horror movie." Gabriel commented weakly for the first time. Seeing the poor girl trying to flee from the insect and being forcefully infected affected him, what kind of monster would do that?

The lights turn back on as a butterfly shaped red mark appears on Aurore's face.

Hawk Moth: So, correct you are. You should have won. Yes...

Aurore: I should have won. Yes!

Hawk Moth: Stormy Weather, I am Hawk Moth. I give you the power to seek revenge on them as MY weather girl. All you have to do is bring me the Miraculous. Can you do that?

Aurore: Yes!

"Manipulating a poor girl." Sabine murmured angrily. "Sick bastard."

Gabriel nodded in agreement.

Black blobs start to cover the smiling girl.

Hawk Moth: That's my weather girl. Show the world who the best weather girl REALLY is!

The elevator door opens to show a purple-haired girl with a Lolita dress, holding a darkened parasol. That's Stormy Weather.

Catherine paled considerably at seeing her idol turned into a monster. Matheus hugged her gently, glad that the butterfly miraculous holder in his time was a good guy.

The sounds of a clicking camera fills the room as Adrien appears, taking several photos in the park.

"You're really photogenic." Emma complimented. "Our family photos always come out really cool."

Adrien smiled at the thought of family pictures and blushed at the thought of his Lady, of Marinette, in the picture with him and those wonderful children.

Marinette: Come on. We're gonna stroll over there real cool as if we just happen to be passing by.

Alya: Then what?

Various background images illustrate Marinette's discourse.

Marinette: Then? I'll invite him out for a fruit smoothie at the end of the photo shoot! Then, we'll get married!Live happily ever after in a beautiful house and have two kids? No, three. And a dog! Maybe a cat? Nah, forget the cat.

Marinette: A hamster! I love hamsters!

There was silence for a few seconds until the laughing started. Marinette buried her face in her hands while Alya comforted her. Emma and Hugo were holding Louise back, who was whispering with indignation about "Louis? What is that supposed to mean?".

Adrien was shocked. His Lady… Liked him? Enough to consider marrying him, having children and hamster? The strong, brave and sassy Ladybug liked him? Shy, soft-spoken and quiet Adrien Agreste? Not only that, Marinette liked him! Sweet, kind and intelligent Marinette liked him, he felt like he could fly!

Alya: Let's just start with happen to be passing by and see if we can get to that smoothie.

Marinette: (giggles)

Photographer: (jumping around excitedly) Magnifico! Super! Come on now, I want to see hunger in your eyes!

"What?" Emma blinked. She had done a lot of photo shoots, but this photographer was saying very weird things. And her father seemed unaffected!

Marinette: Remember, cool! Just be cool...

Alya: Um, we could be more invisible.

Marinette: Okay, let's start over.

Adrien sees them, waves at Marinette who freaks out in return.

Marinette: Did you see that? He waved at me!

Alya: Yeah, I saw it too. Pretty normal, since we're in the same class.

Bemused, she puts Marinette's hand down.

"I don't act like that, do I?" Hugo asked, turning around to talk to Laci and Matín, they smiled awkwardly and he groaned. Marinette stared at him and he blushed and turned around.

Mireille goes into an elevator happily, clutching her hard-won prize. The door closes, but opens again to show Stormy Weather.

Stormy Weather: Hahahaha! I am Stormy Weather. The only weather girl who always gets the forecast right! And unfortunately for you, there's a freak icy font moving in right now!

Attacks with her parasol and fires a blast of ice.

Mireille: Somebody get me out of here! Help! Help!

"If that butterfly dick doesn't stop ruining my ship, I'm going to murder him!" Catherine growled and Ella gasped.

"Catherine! There is a child here!" She scolded, gesturing to Louise, whose ears were covered by Adrien and Emma.

They couldn't know she already said much worse.

In the park, Adrien was still in the middle of his photo shoot. The photographer is ecstatic.

Photographer: Bravo! That's it! Give me the smile when your mom brings in spaghetti! Okay! And now, Oh no! Mama dropped the spaghetti! And now, you have to eat the spaghetti off the floor! Oh yes, you're angry! Show me angry, yes, yes, yes!

Louise was suddenly very glad her parents didn't let her model.

Manon: (looks at balloons) Marinette, I want a balloon with Mireille on it! Can I? Can I?...Marinette? Marinette!

Marinette: Ah!

Photographer: Ngh! Silencio!

Manon: Come on!

Alya: Come on, small fry! I'll get you that balloon!

Manon: No! I wanna go with Marinette!

"She really likes you, doesn't she?" Annelise questioned softly, remembering a small Stella wanting to stay with her the whole time. It was a pity they had to grow up.

"Yeah." Marinette answered simply. She adored Manon too.

Marinette: Hmmm... I'll deal with it. I am her babysitter.

Alya: But what about Adrien?

"Yeah, what about me?" He joked quietly and she blushed.

"I, er, hum…" In the end, there was no answer.

In the front of he KIDZ+ studio, Stormy Weather exits the place proudly. The crowd that was chanting Mireille's name before is confused.

Civilian: Where's Mireille?

Stormy Weather: Ugh... For all of you who voted for Mireille, I'd advise you to move indoors. It's going to get very blustery! Oh wait... Too late.

She attacks with her parasol, sending the civilians away with a windy blast.

Annelise paled. The butterfly miraculous must be very powerful to have the power to make such an akuma. How could they fail so badly?

The scene changes back to the park.

Marinette: Come on, let's go back.

Manon: I go on the merry-go-round!

Marinette: No, no, no, no, not right now, I gotta get back to Adrien...

Manon: You promised! You aren't going to break your promise, are you?

Marinette: Aw, please, please, not the baby doll eyes... You know I can't say no to the-

Manon: (with baby doll eyes)

Marinette: Aw...

"It never worked when I did that." Emma complained, whispering to her brother. Hugo was glad, he shuddered at the thought of Emma being able to do whatever she wanted.

Manon grabs Marinette by her hand, giggling. Stormy Weather is flying above, seeing banners of Mireille and a balloon of Mireille.

Stormy Weather: Uhhh!

Civilian: Here's another one!

The scene shows the photographers pictures Adrien now looked tired.

Photographer: Oh no, no! The boy has eaten too much spaghetti! Ugh, we need more energy! More romance! We need...a girl! (Runs to Alya) You! I need an extra!

Alya: Who, me?

Photographer: Si! To pose with Mr. Adrien!

Alya: Hah! You don't want me, I... uhhh... I think I'm having an allergic reaction to this apple. I know just the person you need! (She ran off)

Alya: They need an extra to pose with Adrien!

"Thanks, Alya." Marinette said. Even if it didn't work out the way they wanted, it was still so selfless of her. The blogger answered with a smile.

Marinette: What? Seriously?

Manon: Is that boy your boyfriend?

"As if my Adrikins would date such trash." Chloé scoffed and Sabrina nodded. A lot of people glared, specially the children from the future. Most of them knew Marinette through their parents and knew she was wonderful.

Marinette: What? No, I mean, yes? No!

Alya: Go on! What are you waiting for?

Marinette: But, what about Manon?

Alya: You take care of Prince Charming, and I'll take care of Miss Unicorn here. You don't know how to control her anyway.

Manon: No way, Marinette's my babysitter!

Alya: Trust me. Unicorns unite! Let's go to Reespa and find us some sad little village kids and grant those wishes! Yee-haw!

Manon: Yee-haw!

"Nice." Nari commented and wondered if she should try something like that the next time she lost to Fílix's huge eyes and helped him babysit.

A blow of icy wind freezes the merry-go-around and Marinette sees Stormy Weather looming above them.

Civilian: Run!

Marinette runs behind a bench, unnoticed by the panicked citizens in the park.

Marinette: Time to transform! Tikki, transform me!

Her transformation sequence starts with Tikki flying into her earrings. Red fabric with polka dolts stretch over her body and a red and black yo-yo appeared strapped to her waist.

The room had never been that quiet.

Emma, Hugo and Matheus had already concluded that Marinette was Ladybug, but seeing her transform was final. Any resentment they had towards her secret vanished when they noticed her identity had been revealed to so many people, unwilling. The avoided staring at her, like everyone else was.

Adrien also felt like it was final, but seeing the two most wonderful girls he knew coming together was no longer a shock, he was really worried about other people's reaction. Louise was also worried, she was happy to know her mother was also a miraculous holder, but they couldn't know about how everyone would react. Rin seemed to be enjoying the show, seeing as she paused the episode.

"You're… Ladybug?" Alya's voice was the first one to break the silence, quietly, but it seemed too loud to Marinette. "Why didn't you tell me? I tell you everything… I could have helped, I could've… Were you laughing at me the whole time?" The blogger's life was no longer quiet, but rang on the room's walls. "I must have looked pretty stupid, right?"

Marinette didn't answer, feeling her words lumping together in her throat, she wanted to explain herself, but couldn't. Her classmates took her silence as cue to ask their own questions. They knew each other for so long, why didn't she say anything? Why not ask for help? The miraculous holder could feel herself tearing. She had gotten used to dealing with things under pressure, but there was a scenario where her identity was revealed so suddenly never went through her head.

Stella, Isabel and Annelise all felt guilty. The poor girl wouldn't have to go through the this if they had just done their jobs. Emma, Hugo and Louise were getting ready to jump in her defense, as well as Adrien (his identity would probably be revealed soon, he had nothing to lose anyway). But before he could do anything, a red blur flew out of Marinette's purse.

"It was my request for it to be kept a secret." Tikki said sternly, standing protectively in front of a watery-eyed Marinette. "It's dangerous for people to know, but it can't be helped right now. Can we please continue the episode?"

Messing with a furious ladybug kwami was something no one wanted to do, so Rin nodded. Before she could press play, Alya angrily got up from her seat and sat as far away from her best friend as possible. It would take her sometime to come to terms with the situation. Marinette felt like breaking down, but a pair of gentle hands helped her get up from her seat. Distressed, she didn't even notice Adrien had cajoled her to sit next to him and was hugging her while Nino sat near a disgruntled blogger.

Satisfied, Rin unpaused.

Civilians: Oh no! Ahh!

Adrien: Uh?

Adrien runs over to a tree. Opening his bag, he finds it empty.

Adrien: Plagg? Plagg!

Plagg: I'm not here! I'm sleeping!

Emma opened her mouth is to answer very rudely to her kwami, but stopped when she noticed the voice didn't come from his hiding place in her jacket pocket.

Oh no she thought.

Adrien holds up a piece of Camembert

A small black blur attached itself to the piece of cheese.

Plagg: For your information, I can smell Camembert in my sleep. It's only one of my many talents.

Adrien: Great, but there's no time to talk cheese. Plagg, claws out!

His transformation sequence starts with Plagg flying into the ring. Black leather stretches over his body, a swip of hands creating silicon ears and a black tail belt came out too.

"Both of them were in my class? And I didn't notice?" Alya flushed angrily. All this time she had been hoping they were hiding somewhere together, making progress. But they were actually being Ladybug and Chat Noir.

Chloé's brain, which had melted when she found out she was actually crushing on Marinette Dupain-Cheng (again!), was getting out of shock. But seeing her other crush transforming into that mangy alley cat, she went back into a state that could only be described as "nope".

Marinette froze, lifting her head from Adrien's chest. Chat's chest. Chadrien's chest? She was hugging Adrien Noir? Chat Agreste? What? Adrien was Chat Noir. Chat Noir was Adrien. She fought akumas with Adrien. She flirted with Adrien. She kissed Adrien! Chat… He gave her an umbrella, opening his heart to her in the rain. She was so kind to her. Chat was comforting her right now. Adrien was comforting her.

"I'm… glad it's you." She whispered, burying her burning face in his chest. "Thank you."

"Anything for my Lady." He answered, tight ing his arms around her.

The class avoided freaking out like last time. Nobody knew Adrien as well as the knew Marinette, and they also didn't want the tiny red thing to scold them again. Nor the small black thing that was floating lazily beside Tikki, challenging them with their eyes.

Again, Louise fucking knew it, she was so happy.

Coming to terms that your father was Chat Noir was easier when the knew their mother was Ladybug. At least Emma and Hugo wouldn't have to give up their Ladynoir shipping. It was canon. Ok. They were going to have a long conversation with their parents when they got home.

Elsewhere, but close, Ladybug is running in the park.

Ladybug: Why did I leave Manon? I should have never done that! No. Ayla's right. She's in good hands. I must trust her. (To Alya and Manon) I'll get you out of there! Let's wire cut this icy cake!

Ladybug tries to use her yoyo but fails. It slid off and hit its owner.

Matheus giggled, remembering how many times he had lost control over his own yo-yo. Marinette, who was now leaning on Adrien, flushed. It was around her fisrt two months fighting! Yo-yos aren't easy!

Ladybug: Or not? On to plan B! (To Alya and Manon) Don't worry, everything's gonna be okay!

Manon: Where is Marinette?

Ladybug: She hasn't forgotten about you, Manon.

Manon: How did you know my name?

Ladybug: Dah? Uhh... Marinette told me! She's coming right back, okay?

"Subtle." Annelise commented lightly. Had she ever been so careless?

Meanwhile, Alya grumbled about not noticing the obvious lie.

Stormy Weather is leaving the park, but is stopped by Chat Noir, who is hanging in on of the park metal bars.

Chat Noir: Hey Ice Queen, what's with all the terrorizing? Why don't you pick on someone your own temperature?

Stormy Weather: My name is not Ice Queen! It's Stormy Weather!

Chat Noir: Listen. I'm feline more generous than usual today. So cool down and we'll call it quits, okay?

Emma mentally wrote down the puns. They were good material.

Nino smiled as he watched his friend acting so free. He wasn't really mad like Alya. Ladybug and Chat Noir were cool, but he wasn't crazy about them like most his classmates (he also didn't have a crush on Chat Noir as Alya did Ladybug). Everyone thought Adrien was soft-spoken, but he was reallyi just shy. At least this show would help everyone understand the boy who just really loved bad puns, video games and was a bit of a nerd.

Stormy Weather shots a strong gust of wind towards him blandly. He is swept off his feet, hitting a few things before falling down.

Chat Noir: Waaaaaahhh!

"At least she gave you some ice for that burn." Sabine smirked, glad to be able to joke to the fact she not only had a daughter with Tom Dupain but she was a freaking superhero.

Adrien pouted.

(Ladybug appears and lifts him)

Ladybug: I thought cats always landed on their feet.

Chat Noir: Why thanks, my ladybug, but I had it covered.

Ladybug: Huh? No time for your childish charms, Chat Noir. But you're welcome.

"My charms are not childish." Adrien complained softly to the girl beside him.

Marinette snorted. "Keep telling yourself that, kitty."

Stormy Weather: We should be expecting lightning storms like right NOW!

The sky darkens under Stormy Weather's command. A lighting bolt falls from the sky, but Ladybug helps Chat Noir duck. He falls on top of her and offers a flirty smile. Frowning, she turns his face away and gets up.

Emma deflated, remembering when Ladybeetle rejected her. But, again, maybe he liked her civilian self but not Chat Noire? However, she knew nobody liked her,like that. And she wouldn't be oblivious enough to get stuck in a two-people love square. As if reading her older sister's thoughts, Louise giggled.

Yeah, right.

ChatNoir: Whoa!

Ladybug: Huh?

Chat Noir: (grins)

Chat Noir: You just won yourself a cat fight!

He advances toward Stormy Weather, but she just attacks form distance.

Stormy Weather: Black Ice!

Ladybug is also caught up on the attack, but she wraps her yo-yo around a lamp post and catches Chat Noir's tail.

Ladybug: Gotcha!

Stormy Weather sees a screen with Mireille and blasts it.

Catherine whimpered. Her OTP.

Chat Noir: A little Cat Noir will take the wind out of her sails!

Ladybug: (grabs Chat Noir by his tail) Whoa, kitty kitty. You better think before you leap.

Matheus hid a smirk. He also knew a cool cat that did the same thing.

Chat Noir: You got a plan?

Ladybug: Just follow my lead.

"And it's been like that since day one." Adrien said, with feigned annoyance.

"For a good reason." Marinette answered, mocking a shudder at the thought of Chat Noir on command.

Stormy Weather: Ugh...

Another windy attack is thrown at them.

Ladybug: Hoaaah!

Chat Noir: Uhhhhh!

Stormy Weather: You again!

Annoyed, another attack is thrown by her.

Ladybug and Chat Noir: Ahhhhhh!

Ladybug: Huh?

The jump and dodge cars that are being thrown at them by the attack

"That's impressive." Nari said. She really wished she could do such acrobatics.

As she notices a bus about to hit them, Ladybug uses her yo-yo as a shield, cutting a circular hole on the side of the bus. The yo-yo stops spinning and falls on Chat Noir's head.

"That was some quick thinking." Plagg complimented. Tikki's chosens were know for their wit and intelligence, but this one was really incredible. Marinette smiled, thanking the kwami. "If it was up to Adrien, you would be pancake right now."

"Hey!"

Chat Noir: Ow!

Ladybug: (giggles)

Meanwhile, Alya is distracting Manon by playing with her.

Alya: Lemonade, crunchy ice, hit it once, hit it twice, freeze!

Manon: Hey, no fair, you always win, uni!

Manon: (hears ice cracking) what's that?

'Alya: It's...the big goblin king! He ate too much and split his shirt! Mwahahaha! (Chases Manon, but ice starts cracking again, so she takes Manon to a safer part of the carousel)

Alya: Wanna hear a story?

"That must have been scary." Laci murmured while looking at her mother, who was reacting her head on her father's shoulder. Matín and Ella were also seemed concerned. Alya scoffed playfully.

"I had everything under control."

In the city, the heroes are still after the akuma.

Hawk Moth: (To Stormy) You showed them all who the real winner is, my weather girl. But now is the time for you to fulfill your part of the agreement. And here's my plan.

"Oh no." Fílix whispered, dreading seeing anyone get hurt. He frowned worriedly at Marinette and Adrien, but smiled when he caught Hugo's eyes. The Agreste-Cheng boy blushed and the frown on the pastel goth boy's face came back. Why didn't Hugo like him?

Ladybug: Maybe she's got some anger issues!

Chat Noir: Or she didn't pass her driving test!

"Where were you guys getting those teories?"Louise questioned. They didn't make sense with the akuma pattern she had studied. The couple blushed.

"We were new." Marinette answered simply.

Stormy Weather (from the screen) Hello, viewers! Here's the latest forecast for the first day of summer. Looks like Mother Nature had a change of plans. Summer vacation is officially over!

Cat Noir: Already? But I look so good in a swimsuit.

Ladybug: The cat suit will do, (winks) thanks.

Louise resisted the urge to simulate barfing. Seeing her parents flirting, no matter what age, was weird to her.

Ladybug: At least now we know where to find her.

Stormy Weather: Prepare for the worst weather in history!

Chat Noir (observing a picture of Aurore's): Hey! That girl reminds me of someone!

Tom blinked, confused. How did the boy recognize the simulate rites between Aurore and Stormy Weather but not Marinette and Ladybug's?

Ladybug: It's her! The akuma must be in her parasol!

Stormy Weather: In Stormy Weather's world, it's winter wonderland FOREVER!

Ladybug and Chat Noir enter the studio, but they see no one.

Ladybug: It's a recording!

Stormy Weather fires a lighting bolt to a light, laughing. The lights of the building go out.

Hawk Moth: This is all going wonderfully according to plan. Soon their Miraculous will be mine. Bring them to me!

Stella growled. The idea of someone using a Miraculous to manipulate children into doing their bidding was disgusting. She had to find the butterfly miraculous before this catastrophe happens.

Cat Noir: Frosty the Snowgirl's getting away!

Even Emma made a face at that one and Adrien had to admit it wasn't of of his best.

Ladybug trips and falls.

Cat Noir: Oh, do I hear a damsel in distress?

Ladybug: Some of us don't have night vision... Whoa!

He takes her hand firmly and pull her along with him.

Chat Noir: No need to bug out. Just trust me!

"He just wanted an excuse to hold her hand." Plagg snorted before getting hit on the head by Tikki.

"You just need to ask the next time, kitty." Marinette joked, but still took his hand in hers. He blushed happily.

Alya is still distracting Manon.

Alya: Then the cyclops monster picked the princess up in his hand and said, "Look into my eye!"

Manon: (laughs)

Alya: Then, Gluck! She stuck a finger right in it! As soon as she took a bit of the cursed potato, the poor princess fell into a deep, deep sleep.

(Ice glaciers are approaching)

Alya: Hurry up, Ladybug...

At the KIDZ+ building, Ladybug is still being led by Chat Noir.

Ladybug: Okay, that's enough. I think I can manage to-

Cat Noir: Duck!

Ladybug: -follow your lead on this one.

"Don't be prideful." Tikki scolded and Marinette rubbed the back of her head sheepishly.

Ladybug and Chat Noir reach the top of the building.

Stormy Weather: You airheads! You fell right into my trap!

She makes a whirlwind appear with her parasol.

Hawk Moth: The time is now! Bring me the Miraculous!

Stormy Weather: There's no way out! Party's over, fools!

Ladybug: We're just-(sees Cat Noir still holding her hand)

"Caught red-handed." Emma said proudly and Adrien laughed, while Marinette, Louise, Hugo and everyone else, really, sighed. Matheus smiled at the cute family.

Cat Noir: Heh-heh...

Ladybug: We're just getting started, Stormy! Lucky Charm!

Ladybug's ominous Lucky Charm gives her a spotted bath towel.

"Very helpful." Gabriel said, raising an eyebrow. "I'm sure keeping yourself dry is important."

The past people laughed, but the others knew how the Lucky Charm worked. Still, Marinette and Matheus groaned. Their powers were so complicated!

Ladybug: A bath towel? What am I supposed to do with this?

Cat Noir: Great. So, we're about to be obliterated, but... At least we'll be dry.

Ladybug: Just hold your whiskers.

"Wait, so you can and I can't?" Adrien complained, but was shushed by Louise, who was watching with all her attention.

Stormy Weather: Hail!

A hailstorm appears while, but Cat Noir uses his staff to make a shield, protecting Ladybug.

Cat Noir: So what's the plan for getting the akuma back? My arm's starting to get cramped!

Ladybug uses her lucky vision making a pipe, the vent, a beam, a sign and towel stand out in a black and white world.

"That's amazing!" Adrien shouted excitedly. He had always wondered how his Lady figured her Lucky Charm out. Everyone else nodded, it was impressive. Tikki looked proud.

Matheus wondered if it was a ladybug thing, because he saw the world in the same way when he was figuring out his lucky charm.

Ladybug: See that sign over there? Check it out.

Cat Noir: All right. Cataclysm! (To Stormy) Hey, Coldilocks! Is that all you got?

Stormy Weather attacks Cat Noir with lightning, but he dodges. He uses his Cataclysm to make the billboard fall down, its aim toward Stormy Weather. She blasts a hole in it and Ladybug wraps her yo-yo around Stormy Weather's ankle. Ladybug takes off running under pipes and against a crane before jumping over an HVAC. Opening the towel, Ladybug soars in the air, pulling down Stormy Weather. The speed at which she falls and the angle of the crane cause her to lose her parasol. Cat Noir catches it, tossing it to Ladybug.

Everyone blinked disbelieving before starting to clap. The Agreste-Cheng siblings looked incredibly proud while Matín's respect for his boss and fellow ladybug grew, along with the once he has for her husband. Stella enthusiastically cheered for having such a cool future daughter-in-law and son and Isabel and Annelise couldn't approve more. Tom looked like he was about to cry for how wonderful his daughter was and Sabine and Gabriel smiled.

The superhero couple flushed.

Ladybug: Get out of here, you nasty bug.

She breaks the parasol over her knee and the Akuma flies out.

Ladybug: No more evil-doing for you, little akuma. Time to purify!

(She captures the akuma and purifies it)

Ladybug: Gotcha! Bye bye, little butterfly. Miraculous Ladybug!

Her Lucky Charm, being thrown in the sky, makes everything go back to the way it was before.

"Wow, I never saw one in such high quality." Ella said over the whispers of her classmates. Ivan frowned at her.

"You guys don't have Ladybug and Chat Noir anymore?" Everyone went silent, but Alya's oldest child smile awkwardly.

"No, they retired years ago. But we have Ladybeetle and Chat Noire." Mentioning Papillon didn't seem like a good idea. "But Ladybeetle can't do the Miraculous Ladybug."

"But that doesn't mean he isn't amazing." Emma interrupted before anyone could say anything, daring them with her eyes.

No one took the challenge.

The ice around Alya and Manon melts.

Alya: And after defeating the three-headed dragon...Huh? Taekwondo...

Firefighters: Yeah!

Alya: Princess kissed her prince charming and...

Manon: They lived happily ever after?

Alya: Uh, sure. Until they had a dozen or so little monkeys like you who drove them crazy!

Stormy Weather melts back in Aurore, who looks confused.

Aurore: Uh, what am I doing up here?

"Poor girl." Fílix sighed, looking genuinely dad for the blonde. Hugo inwardly swooned about hoe caring he was.

"Don't worry, Mireille will take care of her." Catherine said confidently, making Matheus groan as he felt Tikki enthusiastically agree in her hiding place.

Ladybug and Cat Noir: Pound it!

In Hawkmoth's lair, the villain is furious.

Hawk Moth: Someday, a Miraculous will be all mine. I don't care how many enemies I need to throw out to win, but I will be VICTORIOUS!

"Someone is bitter." Isabel joked, but was silently worried. Who could Hawkmoth be?

He closes his window and Marinette is back at the park.

Tikki: Hey, there's the photographer and Adrien waiting for you!

Marinette: You don't think it's too late?

Tikki: Come on, Marinette. You saved Manon, and the whole world for that matter. Have some fun!

Manon: Marinette!

Marinette: Huh?

Manon: I know what your secret is!

"She doesn't?" Juleka raised an eyebrow. She would feel really stupid if Manon found out before anyone else.

Marinette: (Shocked) W-w-what secret?

Manon: Ladybug is your best friend! That's how you both always know what the other one's gonna do!

Marinette: Huhhh... Phew!

"Very natural, Marinette." Mylene commented quietly and Ivan smiled at her.

She hugs Manon.

Manon: Can I have a lollipop? Can I? Can I? Can I?

Marinette: No, Manon. I have something important to do. Alya, you'll watch her, yeah? I'm ready for the photoshoot!

"That doesn't mean you can't buy the lollipop first." Louise huffed. Grown-ups were so complicated.

Photographer: (Looks at Manon) Wait. Who is that angel?

Manon: Haha!

Photographer: (takes photos of Adrien with Manon) Hohoho! Stupendous! Magnifico! Perfetto!...

Marinette: Ughhh... (Alya pats on her back)

"Nice plot twist." Ariana giggled. But as soon as they noticed the episode was over, everyone was quiet.

"I could let you guys have the conversations you need to have… But I won't!" Rin laughed, and changed to another episode. "You need more material first!"
