81. Party Crasher

Scene: Adrien's room. Adrien is talking to Wayhem through a video chat.

Adrien: I'm really sorry, Wayhem, but I've got a casting this afternoon and then a private fencing lesson. (notices Wayhem tearing up) But we will hang out soon. You're my number one fan after all. (Wayhem dries his tears) My father never lets me hang out. I never have friends over, either.

Wayhem: Seriously? You never have friends over? (Adrien shakes his head) That's harsh. One of these days, I'm gonna come over and change your dad's mind and we'll have a rockin' good time. For real!

Adrien: My father doesn't change his mind very easily, but I appreciate the thought. Okay, gotta go finish my homework before the shoot. See you, Wayhem.

Wayhem: Bye, Adrien. (hangs up)

Plagg: Why don't you make the most of your father being out of town? Have some friends over and live it up a little.

"Since someone was akumatized that day, I'm gonna take a wild guess and assume that Mr. Agreste was never out of town," Marinette deadpanned in annoyance and Angel confirmed it with a everyone else groaning in annoyance as well.

Adrien: You know my father has very high expectations of me. I can't go behind his back like that. Besides, even if I wanted to live it up a little, my bodyguard's keeping an eye on me and making sure I stay in line.

Plagg: That's okay, you've got me. And our endless supply of cheese. That'll make anyone happy.

Scene: Agreste car. Nathalie notices the hologram of Gabriel flickering and adjusts it. She then picks up a call from Gabriel.

Gabriel: (on speaker) Is everything going to plan, Nathalie?

Nathalie: Yes. On route to the airport, sir. You will officially be spending the entire weekend in Tokyo. No one will ever suspect that you stayed home.

"So, that's how he pulled it off!" Adrien said while he and everybody else (except for Angel) looked in surprise.

Scene: Gabriel's atelier.

Gabriel: Perfect. (hangs up and then presses the buttons on his painting, leading down to his repository) Emilie, we miss you so much. But you'll be back with us very soon. Thanks to my akumas, it's only a matter of time before I take control of their Miraculous. Merging them will grant me absolute power to reshape reality, and finally reverse our past mistake. (notices white butterflies emerging from their cocoons) They're ready. Nooroo, time to harvest. (collects the butterflies)

"OK, we may have seen this before, but the whole-body-in-the-coffin thing is still too freaky to watch!" Kim exclaimed at another sight of Adrien's comatose mother with everyone else murmuring in agreement. Meanwhile, Adrien looked down in sadness in reaction to seeing his mother again with Marinette putting her hand on his shoulder for comfort.

Scene: Outside the Agreste mansion.

Nino: Okay, remember our objective. To penetrate the impenetrable fortress, aka Adrien's pad. Our main obstacle, Adrien's old man, is headed for Tokyo's Fashion Week along with Obstacle #2. As for Obstacle #3, we have our own secret weapon to neutralize him. (Max taps his bookbag) Operation Adrien begins now!

Ivan: Uh... now now?

Nino: Yeah, now now! What now?

Ivan: Uh, now now is when I promised Mylène I'd go help her plant some trees down by the river.

"Wait a minute!" Alya said as she remembered the day she and the girls were planting the trees. The girls (except for Marinette who already knew) then turned to look at the boys with suspicious glares.

UH OH! The boys all thought simultaneously as they began metaphorically sweating with nervousness.

Kim: Wait a sec! The street thing's today?

Max: Yes, and the probability of the girls being terribly disappointed if we don't participate is 100%.

Nino: Which is why I already came up with official excuses for each of you. (hand everyone a piece of paper) Like you, Kim, have a swimming lesson.

Kim: Great! I always have my trunks on me.

Nino: Dude, you don't actually have a swimming lesson. That's just your excuse.

Ivan: But isn't that lying?

Nino: Sorry, but Max is right. The girls can't know about this. So, is this mission still on? For Adrien? (the guys look over their excuses) Guys? (The boys all nod in agreement and begin texting the girls)

"So, while we girls were breaking our backs planting trees, you boys were hanging out together at Adrien's mansion?!" Alya loudly asked in a stern tone while the girls continued to glare at the boys who were looking sheepish.

"Sorry," The boys quietly said while looking down in shame and embarrassment.

Scene: Seine.

Marinette: (places a tree down) Hey, weren't the boys supposed to be here?

Alya: Nino was asked at the last minute to DJ his grandma's birthday party.

Mylène: Ivan suddenly got a toothache and rushed over to the dentist.

Alix: Nathaniel crashed his computer and lost all the pages of the comic book he and Marc are doing. Max and Markov are helping them fix it.

Rose: Kim had to go to the pool for a mandatory swim lesson, though I'm not entirely sure why he texted me that.

"Yeah, Kim. Why would you text Rose?" Nino asked, exasperated at the teen athlete.

"Well, excuse me if I don't have a girlfriend or close female friends in class. I could've texted Alix, but Nathaniel, Marc, and Max already had her covered," Kim attempted to excuse himself, bringing facepalms from the boys and snickers from the girls.

Marinette: (senses something is wrong, gasps) Oh! Uh... speaking of excuses, I- I- forgot that I was supposed to help my... grandpa bake a cake for one of his mouse's birthday today. Sorry, Mylène. Catch you later, girls! (takes off)

Alya: Did I miss something, or is it Bad Excuses World Championship today?

"Well, girl, you certainly are the champion. I mean, that excuse was the worst one we've ever heard!" Alya said, exasperated at her best friend and everyone else chuckled in agreement while Marinette buried her face in embarrassment.

Scene: Outside the Agreste mansion. Nino rings the doorbell, and a camera comes out, with Adrien's bodyguard viewing them from it.

Nino: Hello. We're here to see Adrien. We got to work on a school project together. (The camera unceremoniously goes back in. Nino chuckles mischievously, and rings the doorbell again. The camera returns.) Word is, you're one of the biggest superhero figure collectors in the world. Is it true your collection is only missing a few pieces? Including this incredibly rare Majestia Millennium Edition? (Max shows the bodyguard the action figure)

Bodyguard: (grunts in surprise) Mhuh?(opens the mailbox)

Nino: (puts the figure inside) Here ya go! (The bodyguard opens the gate for them.)

Boys: Yeah! (high five and head towards the mansion)

Scene: Agreste mansion. Adrien's bodyguard opens the door, looking around first before letting them in.

Bodyguard: (inquisitively) Hmm? Hmm? (nods at Nino and grunts affirmatively) Hmm.

Nino: (entering the mansion) By the way, two more of Adrien's buddies are gonna show up later and help with the project-! Whoa! (Adrien's bodyguard shoves them back outside, Nino stops the door from closing with his foot.) Vintage Knightowl, 65th Anniversary Edition. (shows the action figure. The bodyguard grunts excitedly, and lets them back in) But if Marinette, Juleka, Rose, Alya, Alix, or Mylène come knocking at the door, don't let them in. 'Kay?

Bodyguard: Hmph! (He grunts indignantly, opening the door threateningly, then chuckles with satisfaction as he gets a Sparrow action figure)

Max: (to Nino) He sure strikes a hard bargain. (The Bodyguard leads them upstairs)

"How did you know that these action figures were perfect bribes for this guy?" Luka asked the other boys curiously as well as everyone else.

"I might've asked Max and Markov to hack into the dude's personal Internet search history," Nino admitted sheepishly, with Max looking red in embarrassment while everyone else widened their eyes and looked at the two boys with judging glares.

"You don't hack into our personal Internet search histories, do you?" Juleka nervously asked Max.

"Of course not!" Max immediately answered. "If I did, I would've figured out Lila was a liar all along." Everybody murmured in agreement as that made sense.

Scene: Adrien's room. Adrien types on his computer until the boys show up with the bodyguard.

Adrien: What are you guys doing here?

Nino: We're here for the school project.

Adrien: Project? What project?

Nino: You know. The project. (winks)

Adrien: Oh, that project! (Adrien's bodyguard leaves)

Boys: Surprise project! (gather around Adrien)

Nino: You've never had any hang out time at your place, right?

Ivan: We get to have it whenever we want.

Max: So we've come up with a plan to right this injustice.

Adrien: That's really cool of you all. But my father would never allow this. It'd be best if you... (notices the guys' disappointment) Uh, but hey! As long as it's not for very long and he never, ever finds out about it...

Boys: Hang out time! (look around Adrien's room)

Kim: (heads inside Adrien's bathroom) A jet stream bathtub! So glad I came prepared!

Ivan: (slides down Adrien's pole and plays with his foosball table) Dude, I've always wanted one of these in my room!

Max: Is there any game you don't have?

Nino: Man, you've got the coolest stuff!

Adrien: You ain't seen nothing yet. (throws a basketball into his basketball hoop and his piano emerges from the ground)

Boys: Awesome!

Scene: Subway train

Tikki: Marinette, this isn't the way to the bakery.

Marinette: No, Tikki, I just said that so I could lead my investigation undisturbed.

"YOU KNEW?!" Alya asked her best friend who blushed red in embarrassment and shame. "Why didn't you tell us?! We could've totally helped you in busting the boys! No offense, Mylene."

"None taken," Mylene said as she and the girls murmured in agreement with Alya's statement.

"First of all, I wasn't really sure what they were up to. And second, I didn't want to interrupt Mylene's street project," Marinette nervously answered.

Tikki: You lied to your friends...?

Marinette: I didn't want to upset Mylène. It was her idea to plant the trees this afternoon. But something totally fishy's going on. All the boys are unavailable with really lame excuses, and trust me, I know a lame excuse when I hear them. I've turned into an expert at them since I became... you-know-who. (winks) I know, I'm gonna call Ivan. He can't lie to save his life. If there's something secret going on, he'll definitely blab.

"HEY!" Ivan said in offense to what Marinette said.

"Sorry, Ivan. But it's kind of true," Mylene said to her boyfriend in defense of what her friend just said. Everyone else murmured and shrugged in agreement and after thinking about it, Ivan started to agree as well.

Scene: Adrien's room.

Nino: (commentates on the game foosball between Adrien and Ivan) Zitune to Platino, who dribbles and passes to Kili and the Kaki. Goal!

Adrien: Yes! (he and Nino fist bump)

Ivan: (hears his phone ring) It's Marinette!

Nino: (takes the phone away) Don't pick up! You can't lie to save your life. If she finds out we're here, you can say goodbye to guy time. (notices Adrien's phone ringing and snatches it)

Max: It's Marine– (Nino takes away his phone along with Kim's)

Scene: Subway train.

Marinette: Proves my point. They're all together. And I may have an idea of where they could be. (checks phone) Adrien's dad left town for Tokyo's Fashion Week. While the cat's away, the mice will play.

"Dudette, there's no getting past you, huh?" Nino jokingly asked his childhood friend about her detective skills with everyone else chuckling in agreement, Marinette the loudest.

"Well, that's the curse of being Ladybug. Well, for you guys. For me, it's a blessing," Marinette jokingly answered back, making everyone else chuckle harder.

Scene: Adrien's room.

Adrien: Why can't we just answer Marinette?

Nino: Because… you don't want to get distracted from your only chance to hang out with your guys.

Adrien: But isn't Marinette... one of my guys?

"I'm a guy to you?!" Marinette asked in a stern tone to her boyfriend who looked sheepish while everyone else snickered.

"By "guy", I meant friend," Adrien answered, but Marinette still had a stern frown on her face. "That doesn't really make it better, does it?" Marinette shook her head in response.

"A little real-world lesson for you, blondie: no girl likes to be called a guy. Even us tomboys. Makes us look and feel unattractive," Alix pointed out to the blond boy who nodded in understanding while everyone else murmured in agreement.

Nino: Yes... but no. Right now, she's with her guys, so we aren't going to go and disturb her and her guys. Otherwise we wouldn't be the good guys. Get it?

Adrien: This whole guy thing's super complicated.

Nino: Okay... music! (Adrien opens one of his drawers) Woah! These can't be your awesome old records.

Adrien: They were my mother's. (Nino pulls out the record titled Stationation, blows off the dust, puts in into a record player, and turns the volume up on Adrien's computer; music plays from Adrien's speakers)

"Stationation?! We love that group!" Tom excitedly said in response to the music being played on-screen before turning to his wife. "Oh, the Holiday Camp Dance! Remember when we all danced to that at our wedding reception?" Sabine giggled and nodded in response as she thought about those cherished memories.

Nino: Uh, wait a sec. Is this as loud as it gets? Hey, Max and Markov! Can you do something to turn it up?

Max: (gets on Adrien's computer) Affirmative!

Markov: I just need to hook up to the home's electrical panel. (plugs himself to Adrien's computer)

Scene: Outside the Agreste mansion. Marinette is getting out of the subway when she spots Nathaniel and Marc entering the mansion.

Marinette: I knew it!

Tikki: Are you sure this is a good idea?

Marinette: All the guys are together at Adrien's place, so why can't I be there too? I'll just pretend I was passing by and, uh...

Tikki: Yet another lie?

Marinette: Just a half truth.

"Wow! You're really that desperate for Adrien!" Lila taunted her enemy. The audience stayed silent as they still dislike Lila, but can't help but agree with her.

"Says the girl who got akumatized into a superhero wannabe to impress him," Marinette retorted back and the audience finally started laughing as that was also true while Lila growled in response.

Scene: Adrien's room. The bodyguard lets Nathaniel and Marc inside.

Ivan: Hey, guys! (hugs Nathaniel and Marc)

Max: (to Adrien) Woah! Your house has an insane power supply, Adrien. It could compete with a nuclear power station.

Adrien: My father always has to own the biggest and the best.

Nino: Cool! Give me the biggest and the best. (Max redirects all the power to the speakers, increasing the volume so much that it knocks away Marinette, who was about to ring the doorbell, and several cars)

"Whoa! That's gotta be insanely loud!" Alix said in shocked response to how the volume of the music managed to knock away some cars. The girls all nodded in agreement, shocked as well.

Scene: Gabriel's repository. Gabriel continues collecting butterflies until he notices the power go out. Frantic, he rushes to the elevator and goes up until it stops working.

Gabriel: The system is down? (sees Emilie's capsule lose power) Emilie!

"Mom!" Adrien exclaimed in reaction to his mother's capsule losing power and everyone else looked at him with concern. "We could've killed her!"

"Well, to be fair, Adrien, the damaged Peacock Miraculous did most of the work," Angel said in response and everyone glared at her as if she said something tasteless. "Let's...just get back to it."

Scene: Adrien's room. Music loudly plays from the speakers.

Adrien: (covering his ears) You sure it's not too loud?

Nino: Are you kidding? This is the way it's supposed to be for guy time!

Scene: Outside the Agreste mansion. Officer Roger angrily rings the doorbell and is let inside.

Roger: Hmm. It's about time.

Marinette: (notices the gate opening) This is my chance! (the gate closes before she can enter)

Scene: Adrien's room. Officer Roger enters the scene with Adrien's bodyguard.

Roger: (blows his whistle, the music stops) What's all this racket about? (Max gives the bodyguard a Mercury action figure and he leaves)

Max: Uh...

Adrien: Sorry, officer. We're just doing...

Nino: ...a school project! We're working on a school project!

Roger: What's the topic? Eardrum damage?

Nino: No, it's, uh, on foosball. (points to the foosball table)

Roger: Seriously? (approaches the foosball table) You're doing it all wrong! Let me show you how it's done. (plays foosball) Caset! To Baliage! Goal!

"Seriously, Daddy?!" Sabrina exclaimed in frustration. "I spent the whole day taking care of my grandma, so that he could work. Then, now I find out he partied with you guys!"

Boys: Woah!

Scene: Outside the Agreste mansion. Thomas and Vincent ring the doorbell holding cameras.

Vincent: It's for the casting.

Scene: Adrien's room. The bodyguard lets Thomas and Vincent inside. Music plays again.

Vincent: Ma, che bella fiesta! The perfect setting for the photoshoot! (Thomas and Vincent take several photos with the boys as they party)

Scene: Outside the Agreste mansion. Marinette rings the doorbell.

Marinette: Uh, I'm one of Adrien's buddies from school and he... personally invited me to his party? (the gate doesn't open and Marinette sighs)

"ACCESS DENIED!" Alya exclaimed in amusement, making everyone else burst into raucous laughter.

Scene: Adrien's room. Jagged Stone's helicopter flies right besides Adrien's open window.

Jagged: (through a megaphone) Hey, Adrien! I'm digging the tunes! (jumps through the window with Fang) Rock 'n Roll!

"Jagged Stone was there too?!" Alix asked in surprise as well as the other girls to see the famous rockstar enter Adrien's room along with his crocodile.

Scene: Outside the Agreste mansion. More party guests such as Luka, Jalil and Fred are let in, but Marinette is still denied entry.

"Luka?" Juleka asked her sheepish brother as soon as he appeared on-screen.

"OK, I can understand Luka, because he's...you know...cool and hot. But my weirdo dork older brother was invited but I wasn't?! Now, I'm officially offended!" Alix said as soon as she saw her brother on-screen much to everyone else's amusement.

"Dad?" Mylene asked as soon as he appeared on-screen.

Marinette: (indignant) Why are all the guys allowed in and I'm not? (angrily walks away) Guys! Guys? Guys! Of course! (runs to a nearby trash bin and grabs a helmet and other materials)

Mr. D'Argencourt: Tell your young master his fencing instructor awaits, wretch.

"Mr. D'Argencourt?" Kagami asked in surprise as soon as the fencing teacher appeared on-screen.

Mayor Bourgeois: (with makeup on his face) Can I rest here for a few hours? Until my daughter's makeup frenzy has passed?

"Daddy?! So, that's where he ran off to!" Chloe asked in surprise and slight anger.

"Why is he wearing makeup?" Nathaniel asked curiously as well as everyone else as they looked at the man's made-up face in amusement.

"I just bought new expensive makeup and I needed it tested out. I'm not gonna risk this moneymaker!" Chloe said as if the answer was obvious as she also pointed at her face. Everyone else just sighed or rolled their eyes in response.

"OK, but why couldn't you test it out on a girl?" Adrien asked his childhood friend.

"Like Sabrina said, she was too busy taking care of her grandma. I don't have female servants available. And really? My mother would let me of all people put new makeup on her face?" Chloe answered as if this was also obvious. Everyone just nodded and shrugged in understanding, knowing what the blonde girl's mother is like.

André: Bonjour! I received a call for an ice cream delivery!

"Andre the Ice Cream Man?!" Rose asked in surprise as soon as she saw the ice cream man on-screen.

Mr. Ramier: I'm sorry, I've lost a pigeon. I think I saw it fly into your backyard.

"Pigeon Guy?!" Alix asked in surprise as soon as the pigeon-obsessed man appeared on-screen.

Chloé: Daddykins! I'm not finished with you! Daddy!

Butler Jean: (wearing makeup) Miss Bourgeois sent me here to looking for her Daddykins. Would he be here by any chance?

"Jean-What's his name?!" Chloe asked in surprise as soon as she saw her butler on-screen.

"Your dad's face wasn't enough to test your makeup?" Nino asked the blonde girl with a cringed look on his face.

"Hello! I need more than one test face!" Chloe retorted back, once again receiving sighs and eye-rolls from everyone else.

Scene: Adrien's room. More party guests begin to enter.

Roger: Janel! Thanks for bringing your leaf blower!

Simon: Who loves magic?

Mr. Banana: Stay peachy!

Mr. Damocles: (wearing a Knightowl costume) Hoo-hoo! (Max dumps a bucket of confetti in front of Janel's leaf blower, causing it to fly everywhere)

"MR. DAMOCLES?!" The girls all turned to look at their blushing-red principal in disbelief that the usually stuffy principal was at a party.

Mr. Banana: (swings from the ceiling) Stay peachy!

Adrien: Is hang out time always like this?

Nino: No, but it should be.

"OK, was every guy in Paris at this party?!" Alya asked in surprise as well as the other females (except for Marinette) in the room.

"I wasn't. Why didn't anyone tell me?!" Tom asked in exasperation before he turned to his wife, who gave him a stern glare. "Not that I would ever leave you alone. Love you, honey!" Everyone else giggled in reaction.

Scene: Outside the Agreste mansion. Marinette is wearing a disguise consisting of a helmet, Groucho Marx glasses, and a rug.

Marinette: (in a fake accent) Hi there! It's a-me: Marino! Your neighbor! I heard there was a party going on here, a guy's-only, so I'd like to come-a too, because, uh, I'm a guy. Heh! In fact, it's hard for me to walk with all these guy muscles of mine. Hehe! (The gate opens. She cheers in her normal voice) Aha! (goes back to her fake accent) I mean, hoo hoo! (walks inside and into Adrien's room)

After looking at Marinette with cringed looks on their faces, everyone in the audience burst into raucous laughter while the girl in question sank into her seat.

"HOW UTTERLY RIDICULOUS!" Chloe shouted while she laughed with everyone else agreeing with her statement.

Scene: Adrien's room. Marinette is surprised when she bumps into Master Fu, who is sitting on top of a cooler.

Marinette: Master Fu?

"MASTER FU?!" Everyone (including the males at the party but excluding Marinette) loudly asked and looked at the 186-year old man, surprised that he attended the party as well.

Master Fu: (not recognizing Marinette) Who, me? No, not at all. I'm DJ Wong! Ooh, ooh! Wiki, wiki, waa!

"Yeah, nice cover, Master!" Alix sarcastically deadpanned along with a sarcastic thumbs-up to match with everyone else chuckling in agreement while the old man blushed in embarrassment.

Marinette: (leans towards him and takes off her glasses) Master, it's me: Marinette.

Master Fu: Marinette?

Marinette: What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be extra careful? (winks) You know, keeping the Miraculous hidden so Hawk Moth won't find them?

Master Fu: Don't worry, Marinette. The Miraculous are cool. (taps his cooler)

Mr. D'Argencourt: (notices Adrien's record) Ah, Stationation. Takes me back to my youth.

André: We could do the Holiday-a Camp dance!

Hessenpy: No, we can't.

Roger: Why not, Captain Hessenpy?

Janel: Nothing dangerous about that.

Hessenpy: No, look! We've got the butler, the ice cream man, the policeman, the janitor, and I can do the fireman, but we're missing...

All: ...The Mustachio'd Biker. (sigh)

"Oh, boy! You dudettes want to see this!" Nino said to the girls with a grin, as he and the boys remembered what happened with Marinette while the girl in question just buried her face, not looking forward to what's next.

Adrien: Gentleman, I think you'll be able to dance after all. (shows "Marino")

"UH OH!" The girls in the room said in amusement as they prepared to see and laugh their heads off towards their blue-haired friend.

All: The Mustachio'd Biker! (begin dancing to Stationation's 'Holiday Camp' while Marinette awkwardly attempts to follow along)

Everyone in the audience then burst into raucous laughter at Marinette on-screen in her disguise trying to dance along with the others. Meanwhile, the blue-haired girl just blushed a heavy shade of red in embarrassment. WHY ME?! Marinette thought in her head.

"I can't believe I missed that! I so would've gotten this on video!" Alya said as she laughed hard at her best friend's misfortune, before turning to her best friend who glared at her.. "Not that I would ever post it online or anything."

Master Fu: (dancing with Kim) I like your style! Whoa... whoa! (almost falls off the cooler he's dancing on but is caught by Kim)

Kim: Look out, sir!

Master Fu: Thank you, young man. Your natural reflexes are quite good.

Kim: Helping others should always be a natural reflex, like swimming is for fish. (jumps into Adrien's bathtub while Master Fu smiles at him) Aha!

"That's where I remember you from!" Kim said as he suddenly remembered his encounter with Master Fu at the party. "I thought you looked so familiar the first time I saw you at the beginning of the show!"

Scene: Gabriel's repository. Gabriel is trapped inside the broken elevator.

Gabriel: Nooroo, dark wings rise! (transforms into Hawk Moth, breaks elevator glass, and rushes to Emilie)

Hawk Moth: I need someone to restore power from the outside. (searches for negative emotions) I don't feel any negative emotions. There's only... joy. What's going on in my house!?

"Wow! He's sounding like a real parent this time!" Tom teasingly said about Gabriel and everyone else chuckled in agreement.

Scene: Outside the Agreste mansion. Wayhem, wearing Groucho Marx glasses and carrying a box with a disco ball inside, rings the doorbell. The bodyguard doesn't hear, since he's wearing earplugs.

Bodyguard: (playing with his figures) Brrrrm. (Wayhem tries calling Adrien)

Adrien's voicemail: This is Adrien's voicemail. Leave a message.

Wayhem: (takes off his glasses) Not only are you allowed to have friends over, but apparently a huge party is no big deal, either. Why did you lie to me, Adrien? (starts crying)

"Let me guess: Wayhem became Party Crasher?" Alya asked. Marinette and the boys nodded in confirmation.

"He thought I lied to him about never having friends over and I purposely left him out of the party," Adrien clarified and everyone else nodded in understanding.

Scene: Gabriel's repository. Hawk Moth senses Wayhem's sadness.

Hawk Moth: I can feel a negative emotion. At last, an unexpected powerful wave of disappointment. (creates akuma) Fly away, my little akuma. And evilize him!

Scene: Outside the Agreste mansion. Wayhem is about to leave when the akuma enters his glasses.

Hawk Moth: (from the repository) Party Crasher, I am Hawk Moth. So you weren't invited? Well I'm giving you the power to crash that party, and end it for good!

Wayhem: Let's get this party started, Hawk Moth. (transforms into Party Crasher)

Hawk Moth: (from his repository) To all of you who have invaded my house, now face the most fearsome supervillain ever created!

"The most fearsome? Looking like that? Really?!" Alix asked with a hard-to-believe look based on Party Crasher's appearance along with the other girls (except for Marinette).

"Kind of, yeah. Another difficult supervillain we had to face. Adrien and I needed help from other heroes," Marinette explained with the boys nodding in confirmation. The girls then turned to the screen, interested to see what happened.

Party Crasher: (absorbs the Agreste gate into his disco ball hand and runs to the mansion) Adrien!

Scene: Agreste mansion. The bodyguard is playing with his action figures when Party Crasher bursts in. The bodyguard charges towards him.

Party Crasher: Your body language is like second nature to me. I can read your dance steps and see all your moves in advance. (absorbs the bodyguard)

"See? Party Crasher can anticipate our fight moves and is always one step ahead of us," Marinette explained about this supervillain and everyone else nodded in understanding.

Scene: Adrien's room. Mr. D'Argencourt, André, Janel, Roger, Hessenpy, and Marinette are doing the Stationation dance when Marinette trips and her disguise comes off. Everyone is shocked.

Adrien: Marinette?

Marinette: (frantically puts on disguise) Uh... no, no, no, no! It's a-me: Marino!

"BUSTED!" The teens in the room exclaimed while laughing hard at the blue-haired girl.

Party Crasher: (bursts into the room) So, Adrien? Too busy for your number one fan? Well I'll make sure you never forget to invite me to one of your parties again. (They all laugh at him, until he begins absorbing them all, then they flee) Adrien! Where are you, Adrien!?

Adrien: (while running from Party Crasher) Marinette, run and hide! (runs into the dining room) Plagg, let's boogie!

Marinette: (hides behind a chair) Tikki, spots on! (She transforms into Ladybug. In Adrien's room, Party Crasher absorbs Markov, disconnecting him from the computer.)

Scene: Gabriel's repository. The power comes back on.

Hawk Moth: Perfect! (goes to his lair) Our surprise guests should be here any moment now!

Scene: Outside the Agreste mansion.

Cat Noir: Hey, Disco Dude! You know the tune! When the heroes show up, the party's over.

Party Crasher: Ha, fools! All I needed to touch you and your Miraculous will be mine. (He fights the heroes. Cat Noir charges towards Party Crasher, who reads his movements and kicks him)

Ladybug: Cat Noir, look out! (uses her yo-yo to pull him on top of the statue she's on)

Cat Noir: How'd he know exactly what I was gonna do?

Ladybug: It must be his power. He can anticipate our moves. We're gonna have to figure out how to surprise him. Lucky Charm! (receives a cassette tape) An old cassette? (Party Crasher zaps at the duo, so they jump off the statue. Party Crasher reads Ladybug's movements and absorbs her.)

Cat Noir: NO! (prepares to go towards Party Crasher but is stopped by Master Fu)

Master Fu: Don't go in there alone! You'll never pull this off by yourself.

Cat Noir: (to Party Crasher) Give me my lady back! (charges towards Party Crasher)

Master Fu: (sighs, pulls out the Miracle Box, and gives Nino the Turtle Miraculous, Luka the Snake Miraculous, and Max the Horse Miraculous)

Party Crasher: (while fighting Cat Noir) Idiot! You can't get me! I can read your every dance step! Disco! (absorbs Cat Noir's staff and continues to fight him)

Pegasus: Need some back up?

Cat Noir: Pegasus? (sees Viperion) Viperion? (sees Carapace) Carapace? Time to strut your disco stuff!

"You didn't tell me you became Carapace again!" Alya said in frustration towards her boyfriend.

"Well, babe, if I did, then I had to admit about the party," Nino sheepishly answered while Alya just gave him a raised-eyebrow glance.

Hawk Moth: (from his lair) Beware of Viperion and his power to go back in time.

Viperion: Second Chance. (adjusts bangle)

Carapace: Don't worry, Cat Noir. We got you covered. Shell- (gets absorbed by Party Crasher)

Viperion: Second Chance! (time reverses)

Carapace: Don't worry, Cat Noir. We got you covered. Shell- (Viperion runs towards him, but Party Crasher reads his movements and absorbs him)

Pegasus: Viperion! (Party Crasher absorbs Carapace, Pegasus, and Cat Noir)

Master Fu: There's only one Miraculous that could possibly save the day. But this one is so... special. (looks at the Agreste mansion)

"Oh, everybody. This is the debut of King Monkey of the Monkey Miraculous!" Angel quickly announced and replayed the episode, leaving the audience excited to see who else became a superhero.

Scene: Adrien's room. Kim is swimming in the bathtub when he sees a small box. He opens it and discovers the Monkey Miraculous along with Xuppu.

"YOU'RE KING MONKEY?!" Everyone except Marinette, Master Fu, and the kwamis asked Kim in shock.

"Yeah, I am!" Kim said as he flexed his muscles. Some people like Alix rolled their eyes while most of the audience gave him congratulatory hi-fives. Angel then snapped her fingers in which Xuppu, the Monkey Kwami appeared.

"Hey! Where am I?! Oh, hi!" Xuppu said as soon as he appeared. He's a little nervous seeing other humans looking at him, but calmed down once he saw the guardian and other kwamis in the room. "Nitwit, is that you?!" He then asked as soon as he spotted Kim and flew towards him.

"Nitwit? I like him already!" Alix said, grinning towards her athletic rival.

"Yeah, yeah. Everybody, this is Xuppu. My flying monkey plushie," Kim teased his kwami back who raspberried him in response and Kim raspberried him back, getting good-natured eye-rolls from everyone else.

Kim: Awww! A flying monkey plushie!

Xuppu: I'm no plushie! My name's Xuppu, you nitwit! (blows a raspberry at him)

Kim: My name's not nitwit! My name's Kim! (he and Xuppu make faces at each other while Master Fu watches from afar)

Master Fu: I'm wondering if this was the smartest move after all.

"Yeah, I was thinking the same thing," Alix amusingly commented on Master Fu's comment and everyone else chuckled in agreement while both Kim and Xuppu blushed in embarrassment.

Xuppu: (while Kim puts on the Monkey Miraculous) Just say showtime already!

"Well, that's a Miraculous that can't be worn in public everyday," Angel noted about the Monkey Miraculous and after looking at the Miraculous on-screen, everybody including Kim murmured in agreement.

"You're right. I kinda look like a doofus with that on my head," Kim reluctantly said and everyone else chuckled in response.

[Transformation Sequence]

Kim: Xuppu, showtime! (transforms into King Monkey)

Scene: Outside the Agreste mansion.

Hawk Moth: (from his lair) Incredible work, Party Crasher! Now all you need to do is send me the Miraculous.

Party Crasher: Let's dance! (makes a helicopter out of his disco balls)

King Monkey: Hey, wait a sec! King Monkey loves to party too! Uproar! (receives a banana) Eat this! (throws it at Party Crasher)

"Seriously?! A squeaking toy banana?!" Chloe asked in disbelief as well as the others except for the two heroes, Kim, Master Fu, and the kwamis.

"Yes, seriously! It's not any ordinary useless squeaking toy banana!" Xuppu said in defense of his superpower. "Just wait for it."

Party Crasher: Seriously? (the helicopter turns into a piñata) What's going on? (begins to hallucinate)

King Monkey: Sorry. I just love disrupting others' powers. (He hits the piñata, freeing everyone that Party Crasher absorbed. Party Crasher repairs his disco balls while everyone except the heroes run away)

"Did that toy banana just do all that?!" Alya asked in surprise as well as most of the others.

"Yes. The Monkey Miraculous gives its holder the power to create a magical toy and once the toy is thrown at the supervillain, his superpowers temporarily malfunction," Master Fu explained the power of the Monkey Miraculous much to most of the audience's shock.

"I guess that's what you meant earlier about that Miraculous being special," Alix said in which the old man nodded in confirmation.

Ladybug: (looks at her surroundings) Carapace, protect us!

Carapace: Shell-ter! Hah! (a barrier forms around the heroes)

Ladybug: Pegasus, teleport here and find something to play this. (shows him a map on her yo-yo)

Pegasus: (teleports to Rolland Dupain's house and grabs an old radio) Pardon me, sir. I promise to return it after Paris is saved. (leaves, while Rolland is confused)

"That must've taken your grandfather by surprise, girl!" Alya said as she laughed at the moment with her best friend's grandfather and Pegasus on-screen along with the others.

"Where else am I gonna find something to play an old-fashioned cassette?" Marinette rhetorically asked and the audience chuckled in agreement.

Ladybug: (puts the cassette in the radio) The only solution is to be so unpredictable that he can't read our dance steps. So... freak out! (The heroes dance towards Party Crasher in a bizarre manner while Stationation plays)

"Unorthodox freestyle. I like that!" Angel said in excitement and amusement with everyone else (except for Lila) chuckling in agreement.

Party Crasher: What are you doing? It's nonsense! (The heroes manage to beat Party Crasher and Ladybug grabs his glasses)

Ladybug: Cat Noir! (throws the glasses to him)

Cat Noir: Cataclysm! (destroys the glasses and frees the akuma)

Ladybug: (opens yo-yo and throws it at the akuma) Time to de-evilize! (captures akuma) Gotcha! (releases akuma) Bye bye, little butterfly. Miraculous Ladybug! (all damage caused by Party Crasher is fixed)

Heroes: Pound it!

"Pound it!" Marinette, Adrien, Nino, Max, Luka, and Kim did a six-way fist-bump before the main couple kissed in victory.

"Too bad us girl heroes couldn't join that akuma dance party," Alya muttered in playful jealousy with Chloe and Kagami snickering in agreement.

Scene: Adrien's room. Everyone is cleaning.

Nino: Scrub harder, guys! Any trace of our awesome hang out time must be long gone before Mr. Agreste gets back.

Adrien: I'm sorry, Wayhem. I swear I had no idea my friends were gonna surprise me.

Wayhem: What matters is that you had a great time, with or without me. And now I get to clean the house with my idol. This is the best day of my life!

Nino: (to Marinette) Things would probably have gone differently if I hadn't lied.

Marinette: I wasn't completely honest today either, but...

Nino & Marinette: ...I did it for Adrien. (laugh)

Marinette: If we hurry up, we can still plant trees with the girls.

Nino: Great idea! (everyone leaves the Agreste mansion while unknowingly being watched by Gabriel)

Scene: Gabriel's repository.

Gabriel: Ladybug. Cat Noir. Soon your luck will run out, and one of these days, I'll be leading you in a dance. A dance of doom.

"Wow! Pretty bad wordplay, Father!" Adrien exclaimed to his father in a deadpan manner much to everyone else's amusement. "So, what's next?"

"The next episode is The Puppeteer 2 where little Manon becomes The Puppeteer again," Angel answered.

"You mean at the wax museum?" Marinette nervously asked and Angel confirmed it with a nod, making the blue-haired girl more nervous. Adrien then began to feel nervous as he too remembered that day while the episode began to play.
