8. Stormy Weather

Scene: KIDZ studio.

Alec: Welcome to the finals of our KIDZ competition! When today, one lucky winner will be announced as our brand new KIDZ weather girl! (Crowd chanting Mireille's and Aurore's names)

Aurore: Hi!

Mireille: (giggles)

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 messaging rates apply.

"I remember seeing this on TV!" Marinette said of the KIDZ competition then turned to ask her friends, "Who did you guys vote for?"

"Mireille of course!" Alya answered.

"Really? I voted for Aurore!" Rose said. "Because of her super cute dress and parasol!" Most others answered Mireille as a couple answered Aurore.

"Who did you vote for, m'lady?" Adrien asked Marinette.

"Actually, Manon voted for me. She stole my phone and voted for Mireille," Marinette answered leaving some people confused. "You'll see."

Scene: Dupain-Cheng House. Marinette is chasing Manon.

Marinette: Come on, Manon, give that back!

Manon: But I wanna be a fashion designer too! (Marinette falls on the sofa.)

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

Manon: (giggles)

Marinette: Huh? (crashes with the table) Ah! Nnnngh… Hmmm... Huh? Ah! (giggles; walks to the curtain, only to see that Manon is not there)

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

"See?" Marinette said pointing to the screen and everyone nodded in understanding.

Marinette: Hey, my phone! (Manon grabs Marinette's hat.) Ughhh... Why did I agree to do this again? (Tikki appears)

"Yeah, why did you agree to do this again? Don't you have better things to do that day?" Alix answered with a snort.

"What's better than babysitting cute little kids?" Rose asked gushing at the sight of Manon while all the teens just gave her weird looks.

Marinette: Stay low, Tikki!

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. (Doorbell rings; Tikki hides)

Marinette: Alya?

Alya: Hey, I got a huge scoop for you. Guess who's on a photoshoot in the park?

"What? Do you girls have me on surveillance or something?" Adrien asked amused.

"Maybe," Marinette answered quietly half-serious leaving Adrien confused.

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

Alya: As we speak!

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

Alya: The same thing as usual: (imitates Marinette) "I... uhhh... dahee... wha... ahh..."

"Dead-on impression of her, Alya!" Adrien complimented Alya and the two teens hi-fived each other while Marinette slaps her boyfriend's arm.

Marinette: 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 friends' daughters. I'm watching her all afternoon. (Gasps) Oh no! I can't go out!

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

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

Alya: Look, no problem! I'll look after your little detail for you. (Manon runs off)

Marinette: Thanks, but I'm responsible for her... Besides, I couldn't do that to you. She's... an absolute angel! (A crash is heard. Marinette screams and runs after Manon, who is carrying a pot and a spatula.) Manon! Put that down! Ugh! Come back!

"Absolute angel, huh? Did you hit your head when you fell chasing her, Dupain-Cheng?!" Chloe joked and most people laughed admitting that comment was pretty funny.

Alya: (Marinette continues to chase after Manon until Marinette and walks back to Alya and Manon continues to pull on her arm) You're just a pushover, Marinette. I have to babysit my sisters all the time, which makes me an expert in dealing with angels.

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!

"No way she believed that, babe!" Nino laughed at his girlfriend.

Manon: (laughs) No, you're not! ...Are you? (Alya grabs Manon in the air, and puts her on Marinette's shoulders.)

"You were saying, babe?" Alya laughed back at her boyfriend whose face is frozen in shock.

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

Manon: Yay!

Marinette: Okay!

Scene: KIDZ studio. The new weather girl is about to be chosen.

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... (The votes are shown onscreen. Mireille has significantly more votes.) Mireille!

Aurore: (Gasps. Crowd cheers)

Alec: (To Aurore) Man, she crushed you, eh? Better luck next time!

Aurore: Ughh... (leaves angrily)

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

"And that's supposed to make her feel better?! What the

heck is Alec thinking?!" Marinette asked angrily about the TV host and everyone murmured in agreement.

Scene: Hawk Moth's lair.

Hawk Moth: (his window opens) The vibrations are so strong, I can feel the eminent anger and sadness. The moment of weakness at my next victim... Such easy prey for my akuma. (He turns a butterfly into an akuma, and sends it out.)

Scene: KIDZ building. Aurore Beauréal enters the elevator.

Aurore: (In the elevator) 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! They—(The power suddenly goes down) Uh? Ah! (The akuma enters the elevator. She swings her parasol) Ngh! Ah! (She opens the parasol, and the akuma infects it. The power is up again)

"Well, that was scarier and creepier than the other akumatizations we've seen," Rose noted in a scared voice.

"Mm hmm," Everyone said in agreement.

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!

Hawk Moth: That's my weather girl. Show the world who the best weather girl really is! (As he says this, the elevator doors open, revealing Stormy Weather.)

"Well, Hawk Moth sure made her look like a freak-storm!" Adrien joked causing everybody especially Marinette to groan.

Scene: The Place des Vosges. Adrien is having a photoshoot.

"Oh no! Please don't think I'm insane after this!" Marinette said to Adrien, knowing what's going to happen.

"Okay…," Adrien said confused and interested to know what his girlfriend is talking about.

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

Alya: Then what?

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. A hamster! I love hamsters!

Everyone in the theater once again burst into laughter at Marinette's dreams of her future with Adrien while she buried her face in her hands. The one person who isn't laughing is Lila who just frowned. Not if I can help it! And with Gabriel Agreste on my side, it should be a snap! She thought in her head.

"Hey, I'm all for the marriage, the kids with those names, the dog, and especially the hamster. But why not a cat?" Adrien asked while laughing.

"Because I already got a cat. You, silly kitty," Marinette answered bopping his nose.

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

Marinette: (giggles)

Vincent: Magnifico! Super! Come on now, I want to see hunger in your eyes!

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

"Smooth, dudette. Real smooth," Nino laughed at his friend since childhood along with everybody else.

Alya: Um, we couldn't be more invisible.

Marinette: Okay, let's start over. (Adrien sees them, and waves at them.)

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

"Maybe because we're friends and in the same class," Adrien answered amused while Marinette blushed at the sight of herself in Adrien mode.

Alya: Yeah, I saw it too. Pretty normal, since we're in the same class. (Puts Marinette's hand down)

"Alya even had to put your hand down for you! Are you sure you're qualified to be a babysitter? Because it looks like you need one yourself," Kim commented in between laughs.

"You do realize she's Ladybug and can trip you up with her yo-yo if she wanted to," Alya jokingly threatened which then shut Kim up.

Scene: KIDZ building. Mireille enters the elevator holding her trophy. She exits and sees 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 front moving in right now! (attacks with her parasol and fires a blast of ice)

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

"Oh, dear! I hope that poor girl doesn't get hypothermia," Sabine said, afraid for on-screen Mireille.

"She's fine, Mom. My Miraculous Ladybug cure fixed everything eventually anyway," Marinette reassured her mother.

Scene: The Place des Vosges. Vincent is taking pictures of Adrien.

Vincent: (photographing Adrien) 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!

"Dude, what the heck is up with your photographer and spaghetti?!" Nino asked laughing at on-screen Vincent.

"Yeah, I mean…Mama dropped the spaghetti? That is one of the weirdest sentences I've ever heard," Marinette voiced her opinion on Vincent's quirks.

"I don't know. I've always wanted to ask, but I didn't wanna risk offending him," Adrien answered with a shrug.

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

Marinette: Ah!

Vincent: Ngh! Silenzio!

"Sorry that Manon disrupted the photoshoot," Marinette apologized to her boyfriend.

"No problem. The photographer ended up loving her eventually, remember?" Adrien reminded Marinette and then she nodded remembering.

Manon: Come on!

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

Manon: (grabbing a hold of Marinette's leg) No! I wanna go with Marinette!

Marinette: Hmmm... (Marinette looking back at Adrien's photoshoot) I'll deal with it. I am her babysitter.

Alya: But what about Adrien?

"Yeah! What about me, Bugaboo?" Adrien teased Marinette with his sad kitten eyes.

"First of all, even though we're a couple now, don't call me that. And second of all, I'm responsible for her. Others say that I need my priorities straight, right?" Marinette answered and some others nodded in agreement while also laughed at the Bugaboo nickname.

Scene: Outside the KIDZ studio. Stormy Weather exits as the crowd chants Mireille's name.

Civilian: Where's Mireille?

"That wasn't a very smart thing to ask in front of an akumatized supervillain," Luka winced.

"I have to agree," Kagami said along with everybody else.

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.)

"Yikes!" Most of everybody was still taken aback by Stormy Weather's very powerful windy blast, even though it was a long time ago.

Scene: The Place des Vosges.

Marinette: Come on, let's go back.

Manon: I want to 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 flashes her baby doll eyes.)

"Awwww!" The most sensitive ones in the audience such as Adrien, Rose, and Sabrina gush at the sight of Manon's baby doll eyes.

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

Stormy Weather: Ughhh!

Civilian: Here's another one!

Vincent: (photographing Adrien, who appears to be tired) No, 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?

Vincent: Sì! To pose with Mr. Adrien!

"You know, I'm kinda surprised that he picked me to pose with you, Adrien. Was he just looking for any girl?" Alya asked Adrien curiously.

"I don't know," Adrien said with a shrug. "And don't sell yourself short, Alya. You're pretty."

"That's true, babe! I've got you, didn't I?" Nino said coming over and kissing his girlfriend before going back to his seat. Alya just sat with a dopey grin that only Marinette noticed.

Alya: Uh... Hah! You don't want me, I... uhh... I think I'm having an allergic reaction to this apple. (talks as if her tongue is swollen) I know jutht (just) the perthon (person) you need! Hold that thought! (She runs to Marinette.) They need an extra to pose with Adrien!

Marinette: What? Seriously?

Manon: Is that boy your boyfriend?

"Well now, he is!" Alix snorted.

"And about time too!" Alya said loudly.

"You have no idea!" Tikki also said laughing since she lives with Marinette 24/7. The kwami and the two girls then proceed to hi-five each other.

Not if me and Gabriel have anything to say about it! Lila thought in her head with another hidden scowl in her face.

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

Alya: Go on! What are you waiting for?!

Marinette: But, what about Manon? (Alya is wagging finger towards Marinette and hand gesturing her move aside)

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 Rispa and find us some sad little village kids and grant those wishes! Yee-haw!

Manon: Yee-haw!

"You have no idea how much I appreciated this, Alya. But in retrospect, I shouldn't have left since I am Manon's babysitter," Marinette said.

"No worries, girl. And if you think about it, if you had stayed with her, you would be trapped in a block of ice which will mean Ladybug would be trapped," Alya said, remembering that day.

"Oh, right! I got lucky, didn't I?" Marinette said thinking about it.

Marinette: Huh? (Sees Stormy Weather. Stormy Weather fires an icy wind at the civilians. The icy wind surrounds the merry-go-round and freezes it.)

Civilian: Run!

Marinette: (Runs to a bench) Time to transform!

[Transformation Sequence]

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

Civilians: Oh no! Ahh!

Adrien: Uh? (He runs to a tree and opens his bag, but it's empty.) Plagg? Plagg!

Plagg: I'm not here! I'm sleeping! (Adrien holds up a piece of Camembert. Flies over to the Camembert) For your information, I can smell Camembert in my sleep. It's only one of my many talents.

"Oh, yeah. That is something to brag about," Tikki said sarcastically to her fellow kwami.

"It is! Admit it! You're impressed by my talents, sugarcube," Plagg said while smirking at Tikki who just looked away while the others chuckled at the exchange between the two kwamis.

Adrien: Great, but there's no time to talk cheese.

[Transformation Sequence]

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

Ladybug: Why did I leave Manon? I should have never done that! No. Alya'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 uses her yo-yo, but its cord just slips off of the ice.) 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: Ah! Uhh... Marinette told me! She's coming right back, okay? (Swings away)

"Oh, come on! How did I fall for that?!" Alya exclaimed facepalming herself.

"You're probably gonna be saying that a lot," Marinette said giggling at her best friend.

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

"Seriously?! Do you always start with a joke, dude?" Nino asked cringing at Adrien's joke on-screen.

"Hey! My jokes are paw-some!" Adrien said laughing while the others just groaned.

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

Cat Noir: Listen. I'm feline more generous than usual today. So cool down and we'll call it quits, 'kay? (Stormy Weather fires wind at Cat Noir.) Waaaaaahhh! (He flies a long way and lands in a nearby street. Ladybug appears and lifts him.)

"Thank you, Stormy!" Marinette joked giggling with everybody else laughing as well.

"Hey!" Adrien gasped which made everybody else laugh harder.

Ladybug: I thought cats always landed on their feet.

Cat Noir: Why thanks, my Ladybug, but I had it covered. (kisses Ladybug's hand)

Ladybug: Huh? (pushes Cat Noir back by his nose) No time for your childish charms, Cat Noir. But you're welcome.

"REJECTED!" Kim and Alix shouted and hi-fived each other.

"Girl, you just turned down Adrien!" Alya said laughing hard.

"Give me a break! I didn't know Cat Noir is Adrien, remember?!" Marinette said blushing causing people to laugh.

Stormy Weather: We should be expecting lightning storms like right NOW! (She uses her parasol to darken the sky with storm clouds and create lightning and Ladybug and Cat Noir scream and groan. Cat Noir lands on top of Ladybug and he kissed her and they gasp then Ladybug blinks twice. Cat Noir blinks twice and pulls himself up and grins. Ladybug turns his head toward Stormy Weather.)

"Dude, so not the time!" Nino shouted to his best friend while everybody laughed at the exchange between the heroes on the screen except for Lila who just looked disgusted.

"I couldn't help myself. Us cats are very affectionate, you know?" Adrien said looking at his girlfriend with kitten eyes.

Cat Noir: You just won yourself a cat fight!

Stormy Weather: Black ice! (She uses her parasol to coat the street with ice; then creates another wind blast.)

Ladybug: (catching Cat Noir) Gotcha! (Stormy Weather sees a screen with Mireille and blasts it.)

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

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

Cat Noir: You got a plan?

Ladybug: Just follow my lead. (Runs along the face of a building, prompting Cat Noir to do likewise on the other side of the street.)

Stormy Weather: Ugh...

Ladybug: Hoaaah!

Cat Noir: Uhhhhh!

Stormy Weather: Not you again! (Fires a windy blast at them, knocking them backward through the air, along with several vehicles.)

"Whoa! That is definitely some power!" Mylene said wincing while cuddling up to Ivan.

"Definitely one of the fiercest supervillains we've ever faced!" Marinette said in agreement and Adrien nodded.

Ladybug and Cat Noir: Ahhhhhh!

Ladybug: Huh? (Sees a bus about to crash onto them. Ladybug uses her yo-yo as a shield. Her yo-yo cuts a circular hole on the side of the bus, saving Ladybug and Cat Noir. The yo-yo stops spinning and falls on Cat Noir's head.)

"How strong is that yo-yo?!" Max exclaimed, not believing what he's seeing in front of him.

"It's a magic yo-yo, Max," Marinette explained but Max still feels unconvinced much to everyone else's amusement.

Cat Noir: Ow! (Cat Noir is mad at Ladybug after her yo-yo fell on his head as Ladybug giggles.)

Scene: The Place des Vosges. Alya is playing with Manon while trapped in the frozen merry-go-round.

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

Manon: Hey, no fair, you always win, uni! (hears ice cracking) What's that?

Alya: It's... the big goblin king! He ate too much and split his shirt! Wahahaha! (chases Manon. The ice cracks again) Wanna hear a story? (leads Manon under the merry-go-round)

"Wow, babe! You're good in a crisis!" Nino complimented his girlfriend who gave a proud pose causing some to giggle.

Scene: City

Hawk Moth: (To Stormy Weather) 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.

Ladybug: Maybe she's got some anger issues!

"According to Hawk Moth, everyone does apparently," Adrien said and the others murmured in agreement.

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

Stormy Weather (from the cracked 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. (he smiles and he wiggles his eyebrows and nose at Ladybug)

Ladybug: The cat suit will do, thanks. At least now we know where to find her.

"You just missed the chance to see Adrien in a swimsuit, girl," Alya and the other girls (except for Lila) teased Marinette. Both she and Adrien blushed a heavy shade of red.

Stormy Weather: (from the screen) Prepare for the worst weather in history!

Cat Noir: (Sees a poster of Aurore) Hey! That girl reminds me of someone!

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

Stormy Weather: (from the screen) In Stormy Weather's world, it's Winter Wonderland FOREVER! (Ladybug and Cat Noir enter the studio, but they see no one.)

Ladybug: It's a recording! (Stormy Weather cackles and fires a lightning bolt at a light. Lights go out in the building.)

"I have to admit. That's pretty intelligent for the supervillain," Max commented on Stormy Weather's trap and everyone nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, we sure didn't see that coming," Marinette admitted.

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

Cat Noir: Frosty the Snowgirl's getting away! (Ladybug trips and falls.) Oh, do I hear a damsel in distress?

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

"I have to admit. I'm kinda jealous that you get to have night vision," Marinette admitted to her boyfriend with a small smile.

Cat Noir: (grabs Ladybug's hand and leads her along the way) No need to bug out. Just trust me!

Scene: The Place des Vosges. Alya is telling a story to Manon.

Alya: Then the cyclops monster picked the princess up in his hand and said, "Look into my eye!" (Manon laughs) Then, gluck! She stuck a finger right in it! As soon as she took a bite of the cursed potato, the poor princess fell into a deep, deep sleep. (An icicle breaks through the top of the merry-go-round) Hurry up, Ladybug... (hugs Manon)

"What story were you even telling Manon?" Marinette asked confused at the plot of Alya's made-up story.

"I absolutely have no idea," Alya admitted with a laugh and a shrug. "Just went with the flow of what I thought in my head."

Scene: Darkened KIDZ building. Ladybug and Cat Noir, who continues leading her by the hand, are looking for Stormy Weather, using Cat Noir's night vision.

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

Cat Noir: Duck! (A fire extinguisher canister thrown by Stormy Weather narrowly misses Ladybug.)

Ladybug: --follow your lead on this one. (Ladybug and Cat Noir finally reach the top of the building.)

Stormy Weather: You airheads! You fell right into my trap! (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 holding her hand)

Cat Noir: Heh-heh... (lets go of Ladybug)

"You do realize that we're holding hands because you don't have night vision," Adrien pointed out to his girlfriend with a smirk.

"Yeah! Keep telling yourself that, kitty!" Marinette teased her boyfriend back with her tongue out.

Ladybug: We're just getting started, Stormy! Lucky Charm! (Ladybug's Lucky Charm superpower gives her a bath towel.) A bath towel? What am I supposed to do with this?

"And once again, another random and confusing Lucky Charm," Luka noted and everyone groaned in agreement as their heads hurt on how the Lucky Charms work.

"I have to agree with Luka. How would a bath towel help you conquer this major weather disaster?" Kagami asked curiously.

"Just watch," Marinette answered amused that her Lucky Charms confuse everyone else just as she is when she receives them.

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

Ladybug: Just hold your whiskers.

Stormy Weather: Hail! (A hailstorm appears. Cat Noir spins his staff to make a shield and protect Ladybug from the hail.)

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

Ladybug: (uses her Lucky Vision. It shows her an HVAC tube, the bath towel, and a sign) See that sign over there? Check it out!

Cat Noir: All right. Cataclysm? (to Stormy Weather) Hey, Coldilocks! Is that all you got? (The transformation music from Cat Noir plays. 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. The transformation music from Ladybug plays. 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 as Ladybug hears a screaming Stormy Weather. Cat Noir catches it, tossing it to Ladybug.)

Ladybug: Get out of here, you nasty bug. (Breaks the parasol. The akuma flies away from the parasol.) No more evildoing for you, little akuma. Time to de-evilize! (She captures the akuma.) Gotcha! (She closes the yo-yo and purifies the akuma.) Bye bye, little butterfly. (She opens the yo-yo and lets the butterfly out) Miraculous Ladybug! (The miraculous light fixes the damage caused, and turns the weather back to normal.)

"Boo-yah! And the day is saved thanks to my incredible daughter and her boyfriend!" Tom boasted with his fist in the air.

Scene: The Place des Vosges. The glacier the merry-go-round is trapped in melts.

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

Firefighters: Yeah!

"Why are they cheering? They didn't fix this! Ladybug did! It's ridiculous, utterly ridiculous!" Chloe criticizes the firefighters and everyone reluctantly nodded in agreement.

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!

Scene: KIDZ building. Stormy Weather turns back into Aurore.

Aurore: Uh, what am I doing up here?

Ladybug and Cat Noir: Pound it!

"Pound it!" The two heroes fist-bump and kiss each other.

Scene: Hawk Moth's lair.

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

And I will be victorious alongside you! Lila thought as she cheered for Hawk Moth in her head.

Scene: The Place des Vosges.

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!

"Wait! A five-year old figured it out?!" Kim and the others asked amazed while Marinette was just amused.

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! (She hugs Manon)

"As you all can see, nope!" Marinette answered with a giggle.

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!

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

Manon: Haha!

Vincent: (takes photos of Adrien with Manon) Hohoho! Stupendous! Magnifico! Perfecto! ...

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

"Wow! Your chance to model in a photoshoot to only be already passed over for a younger woman. Aye, what a business!" Alix dramatically joked making everyone else laugh hard. "So, what's next?"

"Very interesting you asked that, Alix," Angel said with a smile. "Because the next episode is Timebreaker which was you."

"Cool!" Alix exclaimed excitedly. "Well, play it!"

AUTHOR'S NOTE: I know most of you want me to do Volpina and get Lila's exposure over with, but I've already planned on doing all the episodes in order, so Volpina is gonna be in a long while since it's the season 1 finale. Sorry if I'm disappointing, but that's how I'm gonna do my story. If you all think about it, these episodes before Volpina will remind the other characters on how Marinette/Ladybug has helped them in the past, so they wouldn't doubt her any more when it comes to Lila. Plus it's satisfying to see Lila's rage boil on how she underestimated Marinette's popularity, her relationship with Adrien, and Ladybug's super abilities. If you want to see the episode order:
