12. Lady WiFi

Scene: Collège Françoise Dupont. Miss Bustier teaches the students, while Alya cuts out a picture of Ladybug. Alya uses the Ladybug cutout and puts it over the student's faces.

Miss Bustier: I'm very pleased with how you all did on your last assignment. Some of you have really stepped up, and I do appreciate it. Now it's time to move on to our next assignment. (Alya sees Chloé, pointing at Miss Bustier. Miss Bustier looks at Alya.) Is Marinette still in the girls' room?

"Seriously, Alya? This is how you'd found out Ladybug's secret identity?" Kim asked in amusement.

"You got a better idea, jockstrap?" Alya retorted back.

"Maybe you could get a class photo, place Ladybug masks on the girls and Cat Noir masks on the boys with Photoshop, and see what's closest," Kim suggested and everyone looked at him, eyes widened in shock.

"That's actually a brilliant idea, Kim," Max commented still shocked.

"Well, I was due," Kim said proudly until everyone turns their attention back to the screen.

Alya: Uh, I don't know, miss. (The bell rings.)

Miss Bustier: Tonight I want you all to read chapter three of the breathtaking France, the First Thousand Years. Then, answer this simple questionnaire. (gives two to Alya) See to it that Marinette receives her homework.

"Let me guess, Marinette. You're on Ladybug duty?" Miss Bustier asked with a chuckle.

"Why else?" Marinette asked her teacher rhetorically causing some people to laugh.

"Well, at least now you won't be making flimsy excuses again," Miss Bustier said and Marinette nodded.

Scene: Outside the classroom. Alya tries to call Marinette, but gets her voicemail instead.

Marinette: (recording) It's Marinette, leave a message. Beep! He he.

"That's a cute voicemail," Luka said chuckling.

Scene: Bathroom. Alya is searching for Marinette.

Alya: Marinette?

Scene: Outside the classroom. Alya sees Rose and Juleka.

Alya: Uhh, have you guys seen Marinette anywhere? (Rose and Juleka shake their heads. Alya enters the locker room, where she sees Chloé taking something from her locker. It's a Ladybug costume and yo-yo. Alya's whispering) Chloé's Ladybug?

"You've gotta be kidding me!" Marinette said to her best friend in disbelief while Alya blushed in embarrassment.

"You think Ladybug and Cat Noir just leave their costumes and weapons lying around where people can see them?!"

Alya has nothing to say at the moment, so she stayed silent.

Scene: Outside the school. Chloé boards her limousine, Alya follows her.

Alya: Hey, Marinette. Ring me ASAP. We gotta talk. (sees Nino) Nino, wait!

Nino: Yeah?

Alya: Come with me, I need your help!

Nino: So-- (Alya shushes him. Alya tries to call Marinette again, but...)

Marinette: (recording) It's Marinette, leave a message. Beep! He he.

Alya: Ughh. I hate when she goes AWOL. She's not calling me back! Where is that girl?!

Nino: Seriously. My man Adrien's the exact same way. But I guess you gotta be sly when Mr. Control Freak is your daddy-o. (Phone rings)

"Your best friends keep going AWOL the same time there's an akuma attack and you think it's just a coincidence?!" Alix snorted, leaving both Alya and Nino embarrassed.

Nadja: Once again, Ladybug and Cat Noir have saved Paris from the clutches of a menacing villain. (Alya sees Ladybug's yo-yo)

Alya: Hey! I think I've just sniffed out who the real Ladybug is! (whispers to Nino) Chloé.

Nino: (laughs) Chloé? Seriously? She's too self-absorbed to think of anyone but herself, much less save the world. You are cray-cray, lady!

"I hate to say it, but Nino's right," Chloe pointed out, both in amusement and sadness.

"OK, maybe I was a little cray-cray," Alya admitted but downplayed it, causing people to look at her in disbelief.

"A little?!" Marinette asked and Adrien laughed in agreement.

Alya just frowned and turned her attention back to the screen like everyone else.

Alya: I am so not! You'll see!

Scene: Paris. Ladybug is jumping above ceilings. She reaches a billboard and detransforms into Marinette.

Tikki: Time flies fast when you're saving the world. Day's already over!

Marinette: Tell me about it. I missed an entire half day of school AND half day of seeing Adrien!

"Well, turns out I was wrong about that. Apparently, I saw you about a couple minutes ago," Marinette said to Adrien as she shook her head.

"And he helped you beat that akuma," Adrien added jokingly making everybody else (except for Lila) laugh.

Tikki: Whoever's behind all of this sure is keeping us on our toes!

Marinette: (laughs) You don't have any toes! (Marinette enters the bakery.)

Sabine: Alya brought your school bag home for you, Marinette.

Marinette: Hey mom...

Sabine: You seem so forgetful these days. Maybe you just need some fresh air and extra exercise for that growing brain of yours!

"Pretty ironic of you to say, huh, honey?" Tom said to his wife about their daughter, making the family chuckle.

Marinette: Good idea, mom. I'll start tomorrow. (Sabine kisses her.)

Scene: Marinette's room. Marinette does homework.

Marinette: Ladybug saved Paris from destruction once again, but who's gonna save Marinette from her homework? (sees a sticky note) What's this? "Call me. I know who the real Ladybug is"?

Tikki: No way! You think she knows?

Marinette: I doubt it. Alya's always jumping to conclusions before she has her facts straight.

"Hey, that's not true!" Alya said, defending herself. Everyone then looked at her with unbelievable stares, causing her to say, "OK, maybe I was in this case."

Tikki: But just in case...

Marinette: No worries Tikki. I got it covered. (Marinette tries to call Alya, but there is no signal.) Dang. No signal. (She goes to the balcony to see if there is any signal, but sees a man working on the cell tower.)

Civilian: Sorry, miss. Cell tower maintenance. The whole neighborhood's down. No signal for the next hour!

"Well, that explains why you didn't call me back, girl," Alya said.

Tikki: Come on, Marinette. Try again later. Let's head down and finish your homework.

"Now that's a responsible student," Miss Bustier commented in which only the adults nodded and the teens rolled their eyes.

Scene: College. Chloé and Sabrina enter the school, and some students are watching her, including Aurore and Mireille.

Chloé: Hey there! Hi! You look totally fab! Uh, no, not you. Hey, it's still a month from Halloween, you know?

Nino: You need to have your head examined. If she's a superhero, then I'm the Wizard of Oz.

"Well, Chloe may not be Ladybug, but she has been a superhero. Shall I turn you into the Wizard of Oz, Nino?" Angel pointed out to Nino, making everybody else especially Chloe laugh.

"No, thanks. I'm good," Nino gulped.

"OK, whatever," Angel said, rolling her eyes while everybody else continued laughing.

Alya: I'm telling you, she's Ladybug!

Nino: Can you prove it?

Scene: Marinette's room. Marinette and Tikki wake up.

Tikki: Uh... what time is it?

Marinette: Uhh, school starts in... (checks her phone) An hour ago?!

"OK, maybe not so responsible with time management," Miss Bustier said sighing and the adults chuckled.

Scene: Locker room. Alya talks to Nino.

Alya: Now don't mess up your lines. (She pushes Nino to the lockers.)

Nino: (sees Chloé) Oh, uhhh... Ladybug! Look over there!

Chloé: Uhh, what kind of lame joke is this?

Nino: Uhh, well, that was... Did you see Ladybug yesterday? Isn't she amazing? I wonder who she really is.

"Good thing you're only interested in directing, Nino. Because, acting is so not your thing," Adrien commented and the teens chuckled.

"You're right, dude," Nino said, laughing at himself on the screen.

Chloé: Uhh... up too late DJ-ing, Nino? Obviously you didn't get your beauty sleep. (Alya takes a photo of Chloé's locker.)

Sabrina: Uh... Chloé! Alya's looking in your locker!

Alya: Uhh... that's a lie! I so was not! (Kim steals Alya's phone.) Hey! Give it back!

"Sorry about that, Alya. Was sort of crushing on Chloe back then," Kim apologized sheepishly.

"It's cool. In retrospect, I shouldn't have done that," Alya said, exasperated at what she had done that day.

"You think?!" Chloe rhetorically asked to which Alya raised her eyebrows at her with a frown. "Then again, I wasn't my best self that day either." After hearing that from Chloe, everybody else couldn't get any more shocked.

Chloé: (sees the photo) Who's the little liar now?

Scene: Mr. Damocles' office.

Chloé: She's guilty of invasion of privacy! I have proof!

"All she did was take a photo!" Marinette said in defense of her best friend.

Alya: What?! Seriously! All I did was take a measly photo!

Mr. Damocles: I'm sorry, Chloé. But there's no school policy on invasion of privacy.

"No offense to Alya in this situation, but maybe there should be a school policy on invasion of privacy," Adrien pointed out. After some thought, everybody especially Mr. Damocles agreed.

Chloé: Then... then breaking and entering!

Alya: I didn't break into her locker! It was open!

Mr. Damocles: And nothing was stolen?

Chloé: Only my very soul! My locker is my secret garden! He who enters uninvited burglarizes my inner being and steals my life force! (cries)

"Really, Chloe?!" Marinette asked her former rival as she and the rest of the audience shared cringed looks on their faces.

Mr. Damocles: Right. An hour of detention for you, Alya.

"I should've stopped there," Chloe said, embarrassed by herself on the screen.

"You think? But noooo! You had to go further!" Alya reprimanded Chloe loudly.

Chloé: Are my ears failing me? Did I hear you're giving one miserable hour of detention to a... a heinous criminal? Sabrina!

Sabrina: The school rules clearly state that any student guilty of theft should be suspended for one full week.

Mr. Damocles: Yes, but she's hardly stole anything.

Chloé: I'm not sure that my father would share your point of view. (prepares to call her father)

Mr. Damocles: Uhhh, well, now, Chloé, let's not bother your father, I mean, the honorable Mayor with a minor locker situation... (Chloé starts calling her father.) Ehhh... what I mean is, you're suspended for a week, Alya.

"ARE YOU KIDDING?!" Everybody in the audience yelled at both Chloe and Mr. Damocles.

"Mr. Damocles, maybe you should review the school's policies and disciplinary practices. This isn't the first time you have treated your students unfairly," Angel pointed out in which the students agreed and Mr. Damocles reluctantly nodded.

Alya: What?! That is so unfair! I am so gonna protest this on the school blog!

Mr. Damocles: (looks at Chloé who's smugly shaking her phone, sighs) The school blog is hereby suspended as well.

Alya: (looks at Chloé angrily) She's no superhero, she's super-psycho!

"Mr. Damocles, with all due respect, grow some backbone!" Tom said to the principal in disgust who squirmed in his seat while Sabine tried to calm her husband down and everybody else agreed with that statement.

Scene: Hawk Moth's lair.

Hawk Moth: Ahhh... School life. Such a science experiment. A petri dish of cultivating secrets, lies and betrayal, the thriving vivarium for my evil akumas. (turns a butterfly into an akuma) Fly away, my little akuma, and evilize her!

"Why does Hawk Moth keep saying that utterly ridiculous nonsense?!" Chloe commented about the supervillain.

"I know right! Who is he even talking to before evilizing his akuma?" Marinette said, agreeing along with everyone else.

Scene: Collège Françoise Dupont. Marinette runs to the front door.

Marinette: I'm late, I'm late, I'm so, so late! (As Marinette runs upstairs, Alya walks downstairs, running away from the school. She tries to call Marinette. Marinette's voice on phone) It's Marinette, leave a message. Beep! He he! (The akuma phases into her cell phone, evilizing her.)

Hawk Moth: Lady Wifi, I heard through the grapevine that you're seeking to unmask Ladybug... I'd like to help you if you agree to help me too.

Alya: I'll expose the lies of anyone who covers up the truth! Sign me up! (turns into Lady Wifi)

"As Ladybug's biggest fan, I'm surprised myself that I even helped that creep," Alya said.

"Believe me, I was in shock too," Marinette said, still in disbelief that her best friend have been akumatized.

Scene: Miss Bustier's classroom. Marinette enters, and sees Adrien and Nino.

Marinette: (taps Nino on the shoulder and whispers) Where is she?

Nino: She's been suspended...

Marinette: What?!

Miss Bustier: Marinette, if you're going to come late, would you please do it discretely?

Marinette: Sorry... (whispers to Nino) What happened to her?

Nino: The short story? Accused of breaking into Chloé's locker. I mean, Ladybug's locker...

Marinette: (yells) WHAT?!?

"I was so confused by Alya's suspension and what Nino said that I couldn't help myself," Marinette sheepishly excused herself.

"I get it, girl. I would react the same way if we switched roles," Alya said, touched by her best friend's concern.

Miss Bustier: That's it, Marinette! Go to the principal's office! (Marinette takes her bag and she leaves the classroom)

Adrien: (He whispers to Nino) What are you talking about?

Nino: Exactly what I said, bro. Alya says Chloé is Ladybug! She is crazy! (Adrien sees Chloé; she winks at him and he is confused then he turns his head towards his tablet)

"If you aren't Ladybug, Chloe, why did you wink at me?" Adrien asked, both amused and confused.

"I was…trying to signal you for your attention," Chloe admitted sheepishly.

Marinette: (she arrives at the principal's office) Mr. Damocles? (she opens the door) Sir? (She sees that Mr. Damocles is frozen, and a pink stop icon is in front of him.) Huh?! (The computer screen lights up, revealing Lady Wifi.)

"OK, I have to say that is one of the very few decent supervillain outfits Hawk Moth has ever provided," Marinette, being the fashion expert, noted.

"You're right, girl. I don't really look that bad," Alya said, taking a closer look at her akumatized form. Everyone agreed with that with a little bit of envy.

Lady Wifi: I'm Lady Wifi, revealer of the truth! For our first exposé, your principal would like to share a little tidbit with you. So, Mr. Damocles, is it true you wrongly suspended a student named Alya today?

Mr. Damocles: (feeling ashamed) Uh... yes, it is.

Lady Wifi: So, you were biased? Unfair? Totally unjust?!

Mr. Damocles: Yes, I was. (Marinette notices the phone Lady Wifi is holding and the ladybug charm on it)

Marinette: Oh, no! Alya! Tikki, time to transform!

Tikki: You're going to have to fight your best friend!

Marinette: Nope! I'm gonna have to save my best friend!

"Awwww! You're the best, girl! You know I'd do the same for you!" Alya said, tightly hugging Marinette. Everyone else gushed at the girls' friendship except for Lila who secretly looked in disgust.

[Transformation Sequence]

Marinette: Tikki, spots on! Yeah! (Marinette transforms into Ladybug)

Lady Wifi: For my next scoop, I'll be taking you to meet the girl who's been hiding behind the Ladybug mask! (puts a pink stop icon on Mr. Damocles, freezing him) Stay connected! (turns the screen off)

Miss Bustier: Everyone, for your own safety, go directly home right now! And don't forget to read chapters four and five! (The students run out.)

"Out of curiosity, did any of you students read those chapters?" Miss Bustier asked and the students just looked sheepish, which answers her question.

"Sorry, miss. In our defense, our friend and classmate had just been akumatized," Alix spoke on behalf of the class and Miss Bustier just sighed in response.

Scene: Bathroom.

Adrien: If Chloé is Ladybug like Alya said, then Lady Wifi's gonna head straight for her house!

Plagg: (teasing) And it also means you must have a crush on Chloé! (laughs; Adrien grunts in protest)

"Please don't put that image in our heads, Plagg!" Marinette said while both Adrien and Tikki giggle.

[Transformation Sequence]

Adrien: Plagg, claws out! (Adrien transforms into Cat Noir)

Scene: The city. Cat Noir runs in the ceiling and sees the hotel. He takes his staff and sees Chloé dressed as Ladybug.

Cat Noir: What? This can't be!

"ARE YOU KIDDING ME, KITTY?! We don't even have the same hair!" Marinette shouted at her boyfriend, exasperated.

"She's right, Adrikins. I mean, are you people blind?" Chloe reluctantly agreed and some people chuckled at that statement while Adrien blushed heavily.

Ladybug: Who's being a sneaky kitty now?

Cat Noir: Oh, Ladybug. But--

Ladybug: Come on, you don't actually believe she's the real Ladybug. (Chloé keeps playing with her yo-yo and ends up tying herself up.)

Cat Noir: Yeah, of course not.

"YOU THINK?!" Marinette asked rhetorically, still exasperated.

Ladybug: And besides, who would believe that she's the original Ladybug? She's obviously just a die-hard fan. A copycat?

Cat Noir: Right.

Scene: Chloé's room. Chloé dressed as Ladybug, is trying to untie herself, when her cell phone rings.

Chloé: (answers the phone) Hello? (The phone starts to emit a bright pink glow, she throws it, and Lady Wifi appears.)

Lady Wifi: Well, hello there, Ladybug! (Chloé tries to run away, but Lady Wifi puts a pink pause icon on Chloé, stopping her)

Ladybug: We got Wifi! (She and Cat Noir head to the hotel.)

Lady Wifi: (puts a camera icon above Chloé) Well, well... So my hunch was correctamundo. (from screens) Everyone thinks the girl beneath the Ladybug costume is a little angel. Think again, people! The real Ladybug is... Chloé Bourgeois, everyone! (Ladybug and Cat Noir enter the hotel) Who are you?

"Again, we don't have the same hair! What is it with you people?!" Marinette asked, still annoyed, which made everyone else chuckle.

Cat Noir: (flexes) Uhhh...

"Really, cat boy? Flexing? Now?!" Alix snorted while Adrien just looked down blushing.

Lady Wifi: (looks at Chloé) But I thought you were Ladybug!

Cat Noir: Sorry to bust your news story. Next time, double-check your facts.

Lady Wifi: You'll be sorry. (She uses her cellphone to delete the pink icons, releasing Chloé. Chloé trips and falls.)

Ladybug: Alya?

Lady Wifi: Alya's been disconnected. I'm Lady Wifi. News flash! Ladybug, let's find out who you really are!

Ladybug: Follow me!

Cat Noir: So what's the plan?

Ladybug: She gets her powers from her phone, so let's lead her to the basement, where there is no service!

Cat Noir: No service, no power. Nice one, my lady!

Ladybug: We've gotta go lower!

Lady Wifi: (laughs) I've got you now, Ladybug!

Ladybug: Get ready!

Cat Noir: So, what do you do when you're not Ladybug?

"Dude! So not the time!" Nino reprimanded his best friend who raised his hands up in surrender.

"I'm sorry! Couldn't help myself!" Adrien said, defending himself.

Ladybug: (looks shocked, then recovers) Can't you see we're a little bit busy right now? (She sees that Lady Wifi is no longer above them.) She's gone back into the hotel!

Cat Noir: (sees that pink lock icons have been put on all the doors) She locked all the doors! Hey, you realize we might actually know each other in normal life.

"Kitty, has anyone ever taught you curiosity kills the cat?" Marinette jokingly asked her boyfriend, raising her eyebrows. Everybody, including Adrien, chuckled at that joke except for Lila who's just annoyed.

Really?! Lila thought.

Ladybug: Doubt it. It's locked! (They reach the top door, which doesn't have a pink lock on it.)

"Turns out I was right all along," Adrien said proudly smirking.

"And I was right in a way during The Pharaoh!" Alya pointed out. She and Adrien then hi-fived over their small victories while Marinette just groaned.

Cat Noir: She's left this one open.

Ladybug: Get ready for an ambush on 3. 1, 2, 3! (They burst through the door to the dining room, only to find that Lady Wifi is nowhere to be found. Phones are on all the tables.)

"What's with all these phones?" Sabrina asked Alya curiously.

"I don't know. I don't remember myself when I was akumatized pretty much like everyone else," Alya answered with a shrug.

Cat Noir: Ahhh... So much for the ambush.

Ladybug: Follow me. Where is she hiding? And what's up with all these phones? (A pink light comes out from a phone, and Lady Wifi appears. She attacks them.)

Cat Noir: How now, brown cow? I thought it was you she was after! (Ladybug ties Lady Wifi with her yo-yo, but she disappears, re-appearing above one phone after another.)

Lady Wifi: Ha! You can't get me!

"OK, I have to admit that's a pretty awesome superpower I've had!" Alya said in awe of her akumatized form's superpower to which everyone else murmured in agreement.

Ladybug: Yes I can. (She breaks all the phones with her yo-yo. Lady Wifi runs into the kitchen. When Ladybug follows her in, Lady Wifi locks the door behind her.)

Cat Noir: No, no, no... Hold on in there, Ladybug! (He checks the hotel map in his staff.) Of course! The service elevator! (Back in the kitchen, Ladybug dodges Lady Wifi's attacks until her hands get pinned to the wall by two lock icons. Lady Wifi puts a camera icon in front of her.)

Everybody (except for Lila of course) winced at the sight of Ladybug being helplessly trapped.

Lady Wifi: (from a projection in the sky) Who is Ladybug? Is she a superhero or a super-weirdo? How can we trust the girl when we have no idea who she really is? We have the right to know! (tries to remove Ladybug's mask, but it won't come off) Why doesn't it come off?

"Because it's magic!" Marinette said in-sync with her on-screen self making everybody (except for Lila) laugh.

Ladybug: Uhhh... because it's magic? (The service elevator door opens, and Cat Noir comes through.)

Cat Noir: You're out of minutes, Lady Wifi!

Lady Wifi: Oh, how romantic. Tomcat's come to save his love bug.

Ladybug: I am not his love bug!

"You are now," Adrien teased his girlfriend making everybody laugh hard.

"We may be together, but I'm not a love bug!" Marinette said annoyed.

"Whatever you say, my love bug," Adrien then said in which Marinette responded with a punch to his arm which made everyone laugh harder.

Cat Noir: We'll come back to that later. (Lady Wifi attacks him, knocking him into the freezer room. His ring comes off, releasing Plagg, and Cat Noir turns into Adrien. Plagg shivers.)

Adrien:; My ring!

Plagg: Ooh... so chilly in here.

Adrien: Where is it? I could use a little help!

Lady Wifi: Well, well... what am I gonna do with both of you?

Hawk Moth: Get her to use her Lucky Charm! It'll force her to switch back, and her identity will be revealed, and her Miraculous will be mine.

"Or she could just take my earrings off," Marinette jokingly deadpanned.

"I know! Wow! Hawk Moth is really a gigantic moron!" Alya said laughing.

"No doubt!" Adrien agreed laughing.

"Ridiculous, utterly ridiculous!" Chloe also agreed laughing. Pretty much everyone is now making fun of Hawk Moth except for you-know-who.

I bet he'd be smarter if I helped him more often! Lila thought, always having such a high opinion about herself.

Lady Wifi: If you don't get him outta there fast, your crush will soon be slush. Ha ha ha! (She removes the locks from Ladybug's hands.) Good luck with your cat popsicle! I have other news to cover! (She disappears.)

Ladybug: Huh?

Scene: Outside Le Grand Paris. The mayor and two police cars are there.

Mr. Bourgeois: Come on... (Chloé exits the hotel and hugs her father. She checks her phone, but Lady Wifi comes out from it and flies into the sky. She begins broadcasting herself.)

Lady Wifi: What's up, peeps! Listen everyone! I present you with the award-winning news story you've all been waiting for! (In the kitchen, Ladybug is trying to break down the door to the freezer room.)

Ladybug: I'll get you out of there, Cat Noir! (Adrien is shivering while he is trapped)

Adrien: Take your time!

"Back then, I thought you were sarcastically asking me to hurry up. But now I know you meant it literally," Marinette admitted to Adrien.

Lady Wifi: (broadcasting) Don't blink, 'cause Ladybug's about to drop the bomb on her real identity!

Ladybug: Lucky Charm! (a box appears) This better be some lucky box... Of course, the microwaves! (she puts the box in the microwave, and uses it to melt the lock icon.)

"How did you know that'd work?" Kim asked, being one of the least brightest people in the theater.

"I guess because I actually pay attention in science class," Marinette jokingly guessed, making everybody else especially the most intelligent ones chuckle.

Adrien: (finds his ring) Gotcha! Gotcha!

Ladybug: Come on, micro-thingies, jam this signal... (The freezer door opens and Cat Noir is shivering while he falls and Ladybug catches him) You okay, Cat Noir? (her Miraculous beeps)

Cat Noir; You used your Lucky Charm...there's not much time left.

Lady Wifi: Exactly!

Cat Noir: Open the kitchen door!

Ladybug: We can't, microwave's busted. (she whispers to Cat Noir) Here's what to do, listen to me...

Cat Noir: Got it. (Cat Noir is giggling while he puts a pan over the top of the camera icon, blocking Lady Wifi's screen.)

"Nice smile, cat boy!" Alix laughed at Adrien's on-screen smirk along with most other people in which he blushed in embarrassment.

Lady Wifi: What is she up to?

Hawk Moth: Don't let my Miraculous get away!

Lady Wifi: Right!

Cat Noir: (gets in the service elevator) I'll go and jam the wi-fi antenna.

Ladybug: Good luck! (Lady Wifi runs to the ceiling, while Cat Noir dodges her attacks. He reaches the top floor of the hotel)

Cat Noir: (sees the wi-fi antenna) Here you are! Cataclysm!

Lady Wifi: Nice idea, kitty cat, but I'm not gonna let you cut me off so easily! (starts firing pink pause symbols at him)

Ladybug: (Her Miraculous beeps again) Hurry, Cat Noir... (Lady Wifi keeps attacking Cat Noir, but he dodges her. He uses his staff to attack her, but she dodges. The staff splits into two, but she destroys them. She sees Cat Noir is about to destroy the antenna.)

Lady Wifi: Nooooo! (Cat Noir destroys the antenna, and Lady Wifi falls off. The pink symbols disappear, and Ladybug exits the kitchen.) Lost the signal!

Cat Noir: Gimme that phone! (Cat Noir tries to take the phone away from her, but she dodges. Cat Noir finds himself defenseless, but Ladybug appears and takes the phone away from her)

Ladybug: (breaks the phone, releasing its akuma) No more evildoing for you, little akuma. Time to de-evilize! (catches the akuma with her yo-yo) Gotcha! (releases it, and turns it into a normal butterfly) Bye bye, little butterfly. Miraculous Ladybug! (Throws the Lucky Charm into the air, and it explodes into a blast of energy. It turns everything back to normal, and Lady Wifi turns back into Alya.)

"Thank you for breaking my phone and taking me down!" Alya sarcastically and jokingly thanked the two heroes.

"Hey! Blame Hawk Moth for infecting it with an akuma," Marinette retorted back, her hands up in surrender.

Alya: What?

Ladybug and Cat Noir: Pound it!

"Pound it!" Marinette and Adrien fist-bump and kiss on the lips again.

Alya: Ladybug! Wow! And Cat Noir! Can I get a quick interview? Just let me grab my phone!

Cat Noir: (his Miraculous beeps) Uhh... gotta go. You've only got a minute.

Alya: So-- oh, no! Where did they go? (Ladybug is about to enter a room, but Cat Noir stops her.)

"I can't believe you two ditched me like that! You two really didn't time to talk?!" Alya asked exasperated.

"Not if our identities had to remain secret from the world!" Marinette said, defending both herself and Adrien.

Cat Noir: Stay! (his Miraculous beeps) I won't tell anyone who you are. Cat's honor.

Ladybug: Nobody must know who we really are. Not even us. (She closes the door. Cat Noir tries to open it, but Ladybug detransforms.)

Tikki: Phew, that was too close for comfort!

Marinette: Tell me about it. (opens the door, seeing nobody outside. Adrien leaves the hotel.)

"You got lucky. What if he was still there?" Mylene asked her friend.

"I trust him," Marinette said, smiling lovingly at her boyfriend who smiled back.

Plagg: That was the chance to find out who the love of your life really is! What were you thinking?

Adrien: That's the thing, Plagg. I wasn't thinking. I was following my heart.

"Awwww!" The audience (except for Lila) gushed at Adrien's sweetness. Marinette then gives him a kiss on the cheek, making him blush heavily.

Hawk Moth: Your mask will fall one day, Ladybug. You'll have no choice then but to hand over your precious Miraculous! (His window closes.)

Scene: Dupain-Cheng House. Marinette is in the balcony with Tikki.

Tikki: Is that true? You're gonna tell him? Is that what your heart's saying?

Marinette: Sometimes your heart tells you one thing, but a great superhero always listens to her head.

Alya: Got it!

Marinette: Waaahhh!

Alya: Wanna see my new smartphone? It puts my old phone to shame! Just look at these pics!

Marinette: Huh? What's with all these photos of Adrien?

Alya: Well... with a mask and a costume, don't you think he looks a little bit like Cat Noir?

Marinette: Are you out of your mind? He's tons more legit than Cat Noir!

"Don't. Say. A. Word," Marinette quietly but dangerously warned her boyfriend while he and the audience chuckle at the irony.

Alya: Hey! I happened to think that Cat Noir is pretty slick.

"Why, thank you, Alya! It's nice to be appreciated," Adrien said to Alya with a playful flirty smirk. Marinette responded with another punch to his arm, making everybody laugh hard.

Marinette: Anyway, stop taking photos of Adrien. Well, unless you give them to me, afterwards. (snatches Alya's phone)

Alya: Give it back! (runs after Marinette)

Marinette: Nope!

Alya: Oh, come on, Marinette! What if you drop it? Everyone knows how clumsy you are! (Both laugh.)

"Awesome! So, what's next?" Kim asked.

"The next episode is The Evillustrator," Angel answered. "Sorry, Nathaniel." Nathaniel gave an understanding nod and the episode plays.
