29. Antibug

Scene: Chloé's room. Chloé is searching in her closet for something to wear.

"Chloe, what are you doing?" Kagami asked curiously in reaction to Chloe picking at her closet on-screen.

"Looking for something to wear, duh!" Chloe answered as if it were obvious.

"But you wear the same thing everyday. In fact, you all do," Angel pointed out to her guests who nodded in agreement after realizing that was true.

"Exactly! I was trying to mix it up with my wardrobe," Chloe said as everyone turns their attention back to the screen.

Chloé: (to herself) This is rubbish! Ugh, I don't have a thing to wear! (points to a pink outfit) This one is way too pink! (points to a pair of red heels) Those are so last season! (picks up a pair of brown heel ankle boots in her right hands, while holding another pair of red heels on her left) Those don't cost nearly as much. (tosses the boots away) And these are never in season! Agh, I hate all of these! (hears shattered glass) Hmm? (looks around her room while still holding her red heels) Is someone there? Anybody? (Chloé looks in her bathroom. Suddenly, someone invisible throws a cosmetic bottle at her. It shoves all the cosmetics to the floor, before pushing down Chloé's bed. It then picks up Chloé's shoes and runs to the balcony. The invisible person is laughing evilly) Hey, wait! (the invisible person tosses the shoes away, landing somewhere near the Agreste mansion) Come back, shoes! It's not true, I love you!

"That explains why there were girl's shoes in my yard!" Adrien said as he saw Chloe's shoes fly over to his mansion as everybody laughed at the situation.

"Is that you, Sabrina?" Luka asked.

"I believe so. Yeah," Sabrina answered, somewhat impressed with what she did as an akuma.

Scene: Miss Bustier's classroom. The entire class is working on something with a tablet.

Marinette: Whoa, look at Chloé. (she and Alya turn to see Chloé feeling exhausted and almost falling asleep)

Alya: That girl is a total rag.

"Excuse me?" Chloe calmly but gravely asked Alya with a frown.

"Just saying what I'm seeing," Alya said, her hands up in defense.

Marinette: Maybe she's missing her BFF?

"Well, that's partly true," Chloe admitted and Sabrina gave her a genuine grateful smile in return.

Alya: Sabrina has been absent since yesterday, huh? (Ms. Mendeleiev shushes them. Both Marinette and Alya giggle as an apology. Suddenly, Chloé's hair is then pulled.)

"OK, Sabrina, I gotta ask: how does no one else notice that you're gone? Like your cop dad?" Angel asked curiously and everyone turned to Sabrina, curious as well.

"I...don't remember," Sabrina admitted while scratching her head.

"Lieutenant Roger called her in sick at the time," Mr. Damocles said, trying to remember.

"So, she must've tricked her dad somehow," Adrien concluded and everyone nodded in agreement at that theory.

Chloé: Ow!

Ms. Mendeleiev: What is it, Chloé?

Chloé: Someone pulled my hair! (Ms. Mendeleiev looks at Mylène)

Mylène: I didn't do it, Ms. M.

Chloé: It wasn't her, it's-it's some invisible mystical being. Like a leprechaun. Or a unicorn without the horn. (Everyone in the class starts laughing at her)

"Isn't a unicorn without a horn just a horse?" Kagami asked in amusement and everyone nodded and chuckled in agreement.

"I don't know why I said those utterly ridiculous things!" Chloe said, exasperated at herself on-screen.

"I'm guessing it's just the trauma," Marinette answered for her and Chloe nodded in agreement.

Ms. Mendeleiev: Quiet, everyone! Eyes on your papers!

Chloé: (The invisible presence then grabs at Chloé's purse, trying to take it off her) Oh, it's happening again. Oh, wah! (falls down)

Ms. Mendeleiev: Chloé, sit down!

"Can that old bat see that I'm being attacked?!" Chloe asked in anger and exasperation at Ms. Mendeleiev on-screen.

"Well, you children gotta admire Ms. Mendeleiev's persistence in making sure you all learn even at bad times," Miss Bustier said, defending her fellow teacher and the teens rolled their eyes in response.

Chloé: I can't! (the invisible person hits her repeatedly with the purse) My purse is beating me up! (Adrien and Marinette see this strange situation)

(Chloé runs to the corner of the classroom while screaming. The invisible person then picks up Juleka's pen and throws it at Chloé. Several more pens are thrown at Chloé, making her run down the steps while continue screaming)

Ms. Mendeleiev: Chloé, we don't run in the classroom! Get back to your seat!

(Chloé is about to do it, when the invisible presence takes Chloé's sunglasses from her head, fighting with Chloé for them. The presence leads Chloé over to Miss Bustier's desk. It abandons the sunglasses, instead tugging at Chloé's hair)

Ms. Mendeleiev: Compose yourself, Miss Bourgeois.

(The class laughs at her while Chloé flees from the room, waving her hands in front of her to ward off the invisible presence. The invisible presence follows Chloé, moving Adrien's tablet to Nino and he stops Adrien's tablet from moving. The door closes behind it resoundingly)

Marinette: (whispers) Tikki, we gotta get out of here.

Adrien: Miss, please, I have to go to the restroom. (walks out of the class) Thank you. (closes the door)

Marinette: So do I, please?

"Why didn't we suspect you guys when you both left?!" Alya shouted in exasperation as she and everyone else facepalmed themselves while the two heroes lightly giggled.

Scene: The bathrooms. Marinette walks inside the girls' bathroom where she saw crude drawings of Chloé and multiple instances of Chloé's name being scratched out are present on the walls and stall doors.

Tikki: Somebody seems to have it in for Chloé.

"WHO DOESN'T?!" The teens yelled in amusement. Chloe wanted to retort but stayed silent as she can't really argue with that.

Marinette: Huh, the hard part's gonna be finding out who doesn't.

(Suddenly, Marinette's cellphone dinged. The class', including Ms. Mendeleiev's, phone dinged too, much to their confusion. In the boys' bathroom, Adrien skims through his phone to see a set of pictures depicting what has been happening to Chloé)

Adrien: Something really strange going on.

Marinette and Adrien: (at the same time with their respective Kwami) Time to transform!

[Transformation Sequence]

Marinette: Tikki, spots on! Yeah!

(Marinette transforms into Ladybug)

Adrien: Plagg, claws out!

(Adrien transforms into Cat Noir)

(Both, Marinette and Adrien transform into Ladybug and Cat Noir)

Scene: Le Grand Paris. André Bourgeois is a giving a press conference

Mr. Bourgeois: Damaging my daughter's reputation is the same as soiling the reputation of the Mayor of Paris, umm, which is me. And an attack on Chloé is an attack on Paris. (Ladybug and Cat Noir leaps down behind him)

"Wow! The Bourgeois family sure has a flair for the dramatic!" Alya said in response to what Mayor Bourgeois said at the press conference on-screen before interrupting Chloe when she was about to say something in defense. "And don't argue with me on that! Remember Lady WiFi?" Chloe then shut her mouth.

Cat Noir: We'll find the culprit, Mr. Bourgeois. You have my word. (Cuts to inside the hotel in Chloé's room)

André: Chloé, my darling. We got special guests for you.

Chloé: (appears behind one of her couches) Ladybug! (runs and tackles Ladybug in a hug) I knew you'd come to save me! You know, considering what good friends we are! (Cat Noir opens the door of Chloé's closet in her room to investigate, while Chloé constantly taking pictures of Ladybug)

"Marinette, can we please pretend that never happened?!" Chloe said with a wince in response to herself on-screen tightly hugging the superhero who turned out to be her arch-rival.

"Agreed," Marinette said, also wincing. Meanwhile, the others snickered at the irony at the relationship between the two girls.

André: I have to put out an emergency call to all the biggest designers. Can you imagine? My daughter wearing department-store clothing? How humiliating. (Ladybug sighs in annoyance. She then turns on Chloé's television, turning the four sections of the screen to various areas in the hotel where the invisible presence could be hidden)

Everyone facepalmed at what Mayor Bourgeois just said except for Chloe who's genuinely confused on the facepalms, but chose not to acknowledge it.

Ladybug: Have you had any run-ins with anyone lately?

Chloé: I never have run-ins with anyone. Everybody absolutely loves me. (Ladybug bends down to pick up a photo of Chloé and Sabrina off the floor)

"That you pretending that everyone adores you again?" Alix asked the blonde girl, groaning in annoyance.

"Yeah. I didn't wanna embarrass myself in front of my idol," Chloe admitted sheepishly.

Ladybug: Really? Not even with your closest friend? (hands the picture to Chloé)

Chloé: Ah, Sabrina? (drops the photo back to the floor while giggling) Impossible. She adores me, I'm her idol!

"That's not exactly how a friendship works, Chlo," Adrien pointed out with almost everyone nodding in agreement. After a moment of hesitation, Chloe nodded as well. The only person who secretly didn't agree was Lila.

That's how my friendships work and it's gonna stay that way no matter what you and your little perfect girlfriend do! Lila thought towards Adrien angrily in her head.

Ladybug: (sighs again before turns to André) Your daughter's safe here with the doors and windows locked. This enemy may be invisible, but it can't go through walls.

Chloé: (tackles Ladybug into a hug again) I'm sure you'll make my life perfect again! Just like it was before! (Ladybug gets off of Chloé and walks away. She pulls Cat Noir by his arm when he's not following her to the elevator)

"Again, it never happened!" Chloe quickly said and Marinette nodded in agreement while everybody else snickered.

Cat Noir: Is something up? You seem…

Ladybug: She's hiding something.

"You are good, m'lady," Adrien complimented his girlfriend on her detective skills.

Scene: Le Grand Paris hotel lobby. Ladybug is asking Butler Jean what he knows about Chloé and Sabrina

Ladybug: Whatever you tell us won't go any farther than this room.

Butler Jean: Mademoiselle did have a run-in with someone. (flashbacks to what happened two days ago in the hallways)

Butler Jean: Miss Chloé and her friend Sabrina like to impersonate Ladybug and Cat Noir.

Seriously? Lila thought of Chloe and Sabrina on-screen with an annoyed look on her face.

Chloé: (from the flashback) Aha! (points to Jean, wearing Groucho glasses. He pushes the elevator button and the doors closed before Chloé and Sabrina "caught" him)

Butler Jean: I was playing the part of Big Mustachio that day. (flashback interrupted)

Ladybug: Big Mustachio?

"BIG MUSTACHIO?!" Everyone asked loudly towards a blushing Chloe and Sabrina with amused looks in their faces.

Butler Jean: One of Mademoiselle's ideas. Big Mustachio wants all Parisians to be defaced with heinous mustaches.

"Oh no! We'll be doomed if we get heinous mustaches!" Alix mocked at the idea with everyone else, especially the teens laughing hard, except for Chloe who still blushed.

"Shut up!" Chloe said, frowning while still blushing a heavy shade of red.

Cat Noir: Wow, what a hairy situation. (chuckles)

Ladybug: (sighs) Please go on. (flashbacks continued, this time at the dining hall. "Big Mustachio" gets out of the elevator to that floor)

Nadja: Thank you for granting this exclusive interview for your upcoming album, Mr. Stone. Can you tell us how-? (Nadja, Jagged Stone, and the cameraman turned to see "Big Mustachio". "Big Mustachio" hid behind the service elevator when "Ladybug" and "Cat Noir" ran out from the stairwells)

Chloé: Jagged Stone!

Jagged Stone: (thinking she's the actual Ladybug) Ladybug! What are you doing here?

"Someone thought Chloe was Ladybug AGAIN?!" Marinette shouted in exasperation while the audience was caught between being annoyed and laughing in amusement.

Chloé: Um… when I find out you're here, I knew you wanted to see me! I have to come and say hello. (Sabrina waves at Jagged)

Jagged Stone: Well, you did the right thing. (notices "Ladybug"'s hair) Hey, what's the dealio with your hair? (Chloé realizes that he's with Nadja Chamack and the camera is focusing on her)

"For the record, I would never dye my hair blonde," Marinette said, still annoyed that Jagged thought Chloe was Ladybug.

"I may be trying to be nice now, but same deal vice-versa, Dupain-Cheng!" Chloe said in response which got everybody else laughing.

Chloé: Oh, ah… ha. The old hair was so drab. This color is amazing. (sits on the couch between Jagged Stone and Nadja Chamack. She unintentionally slaps Jagged Stone with her ponytail) Don't you think? I got a few minutes to spare. I'm sure you'd jump at the chance to interview me!

"ARE YOU SERIOUS, CHLOE?!" The teens shouted in exasperation at what Chloe is doing on-screen.

"And again, my ego got the better of me," Chloe admitted while she sunk down her seat in embarrassment.

Jagged Stone: Hey, wait! I thought you're coming by to say hi to me?

Chloé: And I did! Now where were we? (winks) (flashbacks interrupted again)

Ladybug: She pretended she was me?! How often does that happen?

Butler Jean: She idolizes you. (flashbacks again)

"Even though that whole situation creeped me out, I'm still flattered, Chloe," Marinette said and smiled, hoping to make her feel better which worked as Chloe gave a genuine smile back.

Sabrina: (grabbing Jean's arm) Chloé, I found Big Mustachio!

Jagged Stone: Chloé? But-

Nadja Chamack: You're not Ladybug! (snatches a pen out of Chloé's hand) You're a fake!

Chloé: (stands up) No, I'm not! I'm Ladybug! Look! (Chloé takes out her toy yo-yo, bouncing it up and down. But she unintentionally hits Fang's head each time. Annoyed, he bites the yo-yo's string and the remaining string ends up hitting Chloé in her right eye. Nadja Chamack and Jagged Stone laugh as she runs off crying while taking off her mask. Sabrina lets go of Jean's arm and follows her. Jean takes off the Groucho glasses and watches them go to Chloé's room)

Sabrina: But, Chloé, how was I supposed to know? (peeks from the doors)

Chloé: (angry) That's the problem! You never know anything! Ah, that crocodile has a larger brain than you! (tosses the remaining yo-yo string at Sabrina) Get out! I never want to see you again! (Sabrina closes the door, weeping. Flashback ended)

"Chloe, you can't honestly blame Sabrina for your mistake! No wonder she was akumatized" Tikki scolded the blonde girl who looked down, very ashamed and then started to burst into tears.

"I know! That was utterly my fault! I'm so sorry, Sabrina! Can you ever forgive me?!" Chloe said tearfully, making others feel kind of uncomfortable.

"I...already have, Chloe," Sabrina said, hugging her best friend who then hugged her back. Everyone (except for Lila since she didn't like sweetness) smiled at the scene before turning their attention back to the screen.

Butler Jean: Mademoiselle does argue with her friend Sabrina at times. (Chloé is watching him, Ladybug and Cat Noir from the television in her room. She presses a button to zoom in at him) I'd even go so far to say that it's the norm. But it was different this time. Sabrina came back the next day… (flashbacks to yesterday in Chloé's room. Sabrina and Jean is standing in the entrance to her room, while Chloé's giving her friend the silent treatment by looking out the windows)

Chloé: Sabrina, who? I don't know any Sabrina.

Sabrina: But, of course you do, Chloé. It's me. (takes off a rose pin that Chloé gave her before the incident) Your BFF! (Jean approaches to Chloé)

Butler Jean: You should talk to her, Mademoiselle. She's right here.

Chloé: (turns to see Sabrina) I don't see anyone, she must be invisible! As far as I'm concerned, she doesn't even exist! (Chloé and Jean watches as Sabrina closed the door and left, ending the flashback again)

"Well, that's where Hawk Moth got the inspiration for Vanisher," Marinette said in a deadpan manner and everyone nodded in agreement.

Ladybug: This invisible person is obviously Sabrina.

Cat Noir: Who's been akumatized by Hawk Moth.

Chloé: Impossible! (sits on her chair from her room) She's too weak to do something so bold, especially to me. You're wrong!

"I wish!" Chloe said, still feeling bad that her best friend got akumatized.

Scene: Le Grand Paris hotel foyer. Ladybug dismisses Jean and talks to Cat Noir.

Ladybug: You've been a great help to us. Thanks. (Jean leaves. Cat Noir grabs a rose from a nearby vase and hands it to Ladybug.)

Cat Noir: It's not going to be easy to find someone we can't see. (Ladybug takes the rose and instantly puts it down on another vase.)

"Well, that was just mean, m'lady. Couldn't you just have accepted the rose?" Adrien asked with a mocking pout.

"Not when we're working, kitty!" Marinette answered making everyone else laugh in agreement.

Ladybug: So we'll just have to wait for her to find us. And we do have an advantage, she doesn't know we're onto her. (The rose is lifted up and then Vanisher's face lights up with Hawk Moth's symbol)

Vanisher: And now I do, Ladybug.

Hawk Moth: (from his lair) It's time to fulfill our agreement Vanisher. Cat Noir and Ladybug are at your mercy. Take their Miraculouses and bring them back to me.

Vanisher: They'll never see me coming, Hawk Moth. (the glow disappears and Vanisher drops the rose on the ground. Cat Noir and Ladybug turn around and see the rose)

Cat Noir: Huh?

Ladybug: Huh?

Cat Noir: Uh, the flower. It– (Cat Noir notices Vanisher trying to take Ladybug's earrings) Look out Ladybug! (They jump into action and use their weapons as shields in front of them)

Chloé: (watching from her room) If it really is you Sabrina, then I want to be the one to take you down. (She goes over to her closet and looks at her Ladybug costume) You didn't get my costume, invisible one. Now you'll have to face me. (Back at the foyer, Vanisher is throwing vases to Ladybug and Cat Noir, who deflect them)

Ladybug: Lucky Charm! (Ladybug's Lucky Charm gives her a glitter container) How handy.

"Glitter? What are you going to do with that?!" Alix asked in a cringing manner.

"To make her visible to us," Marinette answered and after a moment of thought, everyone nodded in realization.

Chloé: (from the top of the stairs, dressed as Ladybug) Looking for me Sabrina? I'm right here, come on!

"You can wear the Ladybug costume in your own free time, Chloe, but not when we're working, okay?" Adrien gently reprimanded his childhood friend who nodded in understanding and embarrassment.

Ladybug: Oh no, seriously? (to Chloé) You need to leave!

Chloé: If you stop this ridiculousness right now, I might let you be my BFF again. (Vanisher picks up books and starts throwing them at her)

Vanisher: You've got no friends left, Chloé. And you'll never have any, EVER again. (Ladybug and Cat Noir protect Chloé. Ladybug takes her aside while Cat Noir tries to find Vanisher.) I'll make sure of that.

Chloé: You don't scare me! Everybody loves me.

Ladybug: This isn't a game, Chloé. (Vanisher runs up to Ladybug and restrains her from the back.)

Vanisher: It's over, Ladybug!

Ladybug: Not yet, Vanisher! (Ladybug opens the glitter container, throws it over her head and glitter rains down on Vanisher, making an outline of her. Ladybug then escapes her grip.)

Vanisher: Just because you can see me, doesn't mean you'll defeat me Ladybug! (Cat Noir steps in font of Vanisher, while Ladybug takes Chloé aside, behind a pillar)

Vanisher: Look who's come to the rescue.

Ladybug: (to Chloé) You stay here! Don't move! (She leaves)

Chloé: Hey! This concerns me too, you know!

Ladybug: (to Cat Noir) We just have to destroy her bag and capture the akuma. (Chloé walks around the pillar)

Chloé: Wait, Ladybug! I don't think that's where the akuma is. (she spins her yo-yo but it slips and it flies until it falls on top of Vanisher's head.)

Vanisher: So, you wanna fight after all, Chloé?

Ladybug: Can you handle this, Cat Noir?

Cat Noir: With pleasure my lady. (Cat Noir restrains Vanisher and Ladybug wraps Chloé in her yo-yo, then she leaves her inside the elevator)

Chloé: But wait! The akuma has to be in the designer pin I bought her. She's wearing it on her sweater. Such an unfortunate ugly sweater. It was a gift from me.

Ladybug: I won't tell you again Chloé, so listen up. You need to leave! You're putting yourself in great danger and us too. Got it? (she presses the elevator buttons and the doors close)

Chloé: Why aren't you listening to me? I'm telling you, the akuma is in her pin!

Ladybug: Oh, that's better. (she notices Vanisher and Cat Noir fighting. Vanisher sticks Cat Noir's face inside a vase. Ladybug grabs Vanisher's purse with her yo-yo and rips it in half) Your days are over akuma! Huh? (Vanisher runs up to her and Ladybug sees her pin. She pins Vanisher against the elevator doors and the pin falls to the ground. Ladybug stomps it and the akuma flies from it)

Chloé: (watches from the tv in her room) I knew it! So, who was right then, huh?

Ladybug: No more evildoing for you little akuma. Time to de-evilize! (Ladybug catches the akuma) Gotcha! (she purifies it and releases it) Bye, bye little butterfly. Miraculous Ladybug! (everything goes back to normal)

Hawk Moth: (in his lair) Inconceivable! I was so close! Urgh! (closes the window)

Sabrina: Uh, what happened? What am I doing here? Oh no! It's the brooch Chloé gave me! (She picks up the pin. Ladybug holds up her fist to "pound it", but Cat Noir doesn't.)

Cat Noir: (to Ladybug) Why didn't you listen to Chloé? She was only trying to help.

Ladybug: First, because that girl put us in danger. And second, she completely lied to us earlier. I was not gonna listen to a liar.

"I'm really sorry about that, Chloe. You really did help in de-akumatizing Sabrina. I guess I'm just used to coming up with plans mostly by myself even with Cat Noir by my side," Marinette apologized to the blonde girl while looking down in shame.

"I've already accepted your apology a long time ago, Marinette. And I did interrupt when you felt stressed. Next time, I'll wait to be asked before I go help you even though that might not happen again," Chloe said with a sad smile and Marinette smiled at her back.

Chloé: (watching from the TV in her room, furious) You're calling me a liar?! How dare you?! I was your hugest fan, but not anymore! You don't deserve my devotion! Ugh! (she throws the remote and it changes the channel to the news.)

Nadja: Coming to you live from the hotel where Ladybug and Cat Noir have just defeated Vanisher. Here they are now.

Reporters: Ladybug! Ladybug!

Chloé: I'm through with you, Ladybug!

Scene: Hawk Moth's lair.

Hawk Moth: (His window opens) A betrayed Ladybug worshiper? Just what I need to swiftly recover from the defeat of Vanisher. This is perfect. (turns a butterfly into an akuma) Fly away, my evil akuma, and evilize her!

"Seriously? It's been like a couple minutes since we defeated his last akuma!" Adrien groaned in annoyance and everyone (except for Lila of course) is similarly annoyed at Hawk Moth's persistence despite his many losses.

Scene: Chloé's room. Chloé takes off her Ladybug mask, stomps it, kneels down and cries. The akuma flies into her earrings.

Hawk Moth: Antibug, I am Hawk Moth. Ladybug has let you down, I want her downfall too. So, shall we defeat Ladybug together?

Chloé: You can count on me Hawk Moth! There will only be one heroine in Paris, (Chloé turns into Antibug) me! Antibug!

"Ugh! Hawk Moth made me look so utterly ridiculous!" Chloe said loudly in disgust at her akumatized self on-screen.

"What else is new?! Hawk Moth makes all his villains look ridiculous!" Alya said as she and everybody else laughed hard in agreement.

Ladybug: (from Chloé's TV) Cat Noir and I, we're an unstoppable team.

Antibug: Mwah! Your time is up, Ladybug. (turns off the TV)

Scene: Outside Le Grand Paris. Reporters swarm Ladybug, but her transformation is about to run out.

Ladybug: Excuse me, I gotta go. Bug out!

Nadja: Thank you Ladybug. (Ladybug spins her yo-yo to leave, but notices Antibug)

Antibug: Ha ha ha ha! If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have defeated Vanisher. And now, I'm going to defeat you!

Ladybug & Cat Noir: Chloé?

Antibug: Wrong, super wrong. I am Antibug!

Ladybug: We've got an emergency here. I'm about to change back.

Cat Noir: Go ahead, I can take care of her.

Antibug: Look at that. She's nothing without Cat Noir.

Ladybug: We'll see each other again soon, trust me!

Cat Noir: Looks like it's just you and me now, Antibug.

Antibug: I love a good catfight! (Cat Noir and Antibug start fighting. Cut to Ladybug running and hiding behind a pillar. She changes back to Marinette)

Marinette: Oh no! I don't have any food for you Tikki!

Tikki: Don't worry Marinette, you'll find something.

Marinette: Uh, I'll try. (she checks the news on her phone)

Nadja: (from Marinette's phone) Ladybug has disappeared. How is Cat Noir going to get out of this on his own?

Marinette: Uh, this is all my fault!

Tikki: You don't have to do everything yourself. There's no harm in listening to others from time to time.

"Lesson learned, everybody," Marinette said and everybody else nodded in understanding.

Marinette: You're right Tikki, but right now we have to go and help Cat Noir. We'll find you something to eat at the hotel. (Marinette runs back into the hotel, goes to the kitchen and feeds Tikki a cookie. Then she goes up to the roof) Ah, Cat Noir! (she looks at Chloé's balcony below and sees Cat Noir has his arms and his hands and his feet tied up to his staff and dangling on the edge, stopped by Antibug giggling while she is standing on top of the other end of the staff) Hurry up Tikki.

"Adrikins, how did I beat you again?" Chloe asked Adrien with a teasing smile though she is genuinely confused as she didn't remember that attack.

"Yeah, Agreste. How did that happen?" Alix also asked teasingly.

"No comment!" Adrien said blushing while everyone else snickered at him.

Tikki: I'm eating as fast as I can!

Antibug: Aren't you tired of playing second fiddle to Ladybug?

Cat Noir: And aren't you tired of copying Ladybug?!

Hawk Moth: Keep it up Antibug, Cat Noir is the perfect bait!

Antibug: Team up with me, Cat Noir!

Cat Noir: Never! Not with a fake like you. Ladybug and I are a team. Let's hope the real deal shows up soon. (Antibug starts to dangle Cat Noir up and down while he whimpers.)

Antibug: I know you can hear me Lady-brat, wherever you are. You're going to have to choose. If you want to keep Cat Noir alive, you'll have to give me your Miraculous. And if you refuse, well then take a good look at Cat Noir, because this will be the last you'll ever see of him. I'm going to count to ten! One…!

Cat Noir: Uh… could you make that 20?

Antibug: Two…!

Tikki: I need more time! Go save Cat Noir, Marinette!

"You really couldn't eat faster, Tikki? Plagg can eat a whole slice of camembert in one bite," Adrien asked the kwami curiously.

"Well, be fair. I don't have as big of an appetite as Plagg's. Plus this rarely happens to me," Tikki answered sheepishly.

Marinette: But I can't transform!

Tikki: You are Ladybug, with or without the costume!

Marinette: I think I'd know if I was able to…

Antibug: Three…!

Tikki: I'm giving you advice, now take it! Don't make the same mistake twice!

Marinette: Got an idea! (she taps something on her phone)

Antibug: Four…!

Ladybug: (off-screen voice) "Cat Noir and I, we're an unstoppable team."

Antibug: Ladybug… (She secures Cat Noir with a couch and goes off to find Ladybug. Cat Noir sighs and relieves that Antibug is not standing on his stick anymore Marinette sneaks around and unties Cat Noir from his stick.)

Cat Noir: Ladybug. (Marinette unties Cat Noir. Meanwhile, Antibug goes off and she finds Marinette's phone.)

Ladybug: (video from the phone) "Cat Noir and I, we're an unstoppable team."

"Wow! Brilliant thing to do without your powers, Marinette!" Max said to the superhero and everyone else murmured in amazement and agreement except for Lila who's just annoyed.

"Thanks, Max! I'm just glad I got my phone back after the battle," Marinette said jokingly and everyone chuckled in response.

Antibug: So, you think you're so smart, huh? Show yourself, bug-face! (She gasps and she goes back to where she had Cat Noir tied up and finds that he escaped thanks to Marinette)

Cat Noir: Ready for round two? (They start to fight again and they go up to the rooftop)

Marinette: It worked!

Tikki: I'm good to go, Marinette.

Marinette: Yes!

[Transformation Sequence]

Marinette: Tikki, spots on! Ha! (Marinette turns into Ladybug.)

Antibug: Bad kitty! Come here to get your leash back.

Cat Noir: Sorry, but I don't take any orders from a mere copycat. (Antibug throws her yo-yo but Ladybug's yo-yo deflects it)

Ladybug: Nice yo-yo, mine's better!

Cat Noir: What kept you?

Ladybug: I'm thinking the akuma's in the yo-yo.

Cat Noir: I'm thinking it's in her earrings.

Ladybug: Why?

Cat Noir: She was already wearing them when she was akumatized, and her yo-yo was destroyed.

Ladybug: Ah, pretty good advice, for a cat. (rings Cat Noir's bell)

Cat Noir: Thanks. (He goes up to Ladybug's face. Antibug throws her yo-yo at them, but they avoid it. Antibug pulls the pool cover with her yo-yo and then starts battling Ladybug with it while Cat Noir stands. They both attack, but they can't beat each other.)

"Wow! She finally listens to someone else for a change!" Alya mockingly congratulated her best friend who playfully shoves her while everyone else laughs at the exchange.

Ladybug: Lucky Charm! (Ladybug's Lucky Charm gives her a bag of marbles)

Antibug: Anti-Charm! (Antibug's Anti-Charm gives her a sword)

"Whoa, that's a HUGE sword Antibug's got!" Kim said, shocked and somewhat afraid of the Anti-Charm as well as everybody else except for the two heroes.

"And Ladybug's got a small bag of marbles for her Lucky Charm," Ivan pointed out.

"From what we have seen so far, I would've expected you guys to learn to never underestimate the Lucky Charms and Ladybug's brainpower," Angel said and everyone nodded in agreement.

Ladybug: A bag of marbles? What am I supposed to do with this?

Antibug: Hahahahaha! What? You're going to defeat me with marbles? Child's play. (Ladybug looks around and sees Cat Noir and her bag of marbles)

Ladybug: See that's your downfall, you're always so quick to judge. (She sprints over to Cat Noir, while Antibug charges at her with the sword) Over to you!

Cat Noir: Got it! (she throws the marbles to Cat Noir and he breaks the bag, spilling the marbles and tripping Antibug, who drops her sword) I'll take that. (he uses his staff to throw the sword all the way to the Eiffel Tower, scaring two loving pigeons)

"Whoa! That's a pretty close call for the pigeons, dudes!" Nino said, somewhat jumpy at the scene on-screen.

"And a good thing Mr. Ramier is not around. Otherwise, he'd be akumatized as Mr. Pigeon again," Adrien pointed out half-serious and everyone nodded in understanding.

"Anyway as you can see, the marbles did help," Angel pointed out.

Antibug: See? You're nothing without your Cat Noir!

Ladybug: (She puts her arm on Cat Noir's shoulder) Cat Noir and I are a team. If you take me on, you take Cat Noir on too. It's not my problem if you don't have any friends. (She and Cat Noir smile at each other. Then her earrings ring, and Antibug's ring too.)

Hawk Moth: Take her Miraculous before it's too late!

Cat Noir: Cataclysm! (Cat Noir breaks the pool cover and Antibug falls and she is trapped)

Antibug: Ah! (Ladybug jumps over her and takes her earrings off. She stomps them and the akuma flies off)

Ladybug: No more evildoing for you little akuma. Time to de-evilize! (Ladybug catches the akuma) Gotcha! (she purifies it and releases it) Bye, bye little butterfly. Miraculous Ladybug! (everything goes back to normal. Antibug turns back to Chloé)

Chloé: What am I doing here?

Ladybug & Cat Noir: Pound it!

Chloé: Ladybug?

Ladybug: Chloé, I… I'm really sorry about earlier. I would've defeated Vanisher sooner if I'd taken your advice.

Chloé: Oh, huh. In that case, I might reconsider.

Ladybug: Reconsider what?

Chloé: I might just have to stay your most devoted fan after all!

"I'm pretty sure that's my title, Chloe. You may cosplay as her, but I have a whole news blog dedicated to her and as it turns out, she's my BFF!" Alya proudly pointed out and after a moment of thought, everyone nodded in agreement.

Ladybug: Oh, yeah. Uh… thanks? I suppose. In that case, let me offer you some advice. You should work things out with your friend Sabrina.

Chloé: Mm. Well, since it's coming from Ladybug. Ha ha.

I can't believe she forgave Ladybug just like that! Chloe should've hated Ladybug by now! Lila thought in anger and annoyance.

Ladybug: Thanks for your advice Cat Noir.

Cat Noir: 'Course. We're a team, aren't we? (Ladybug runs past him)

Ladybug: Unstoppable. Bug out! (she leaves)

Scene: Collège Françoise Dupont, Miss Bustier's classroom. Chloé walks into the classroom.

Alya: (to Marinette) Hey, here's Antibug. (Chloé sits down in her seat and crosses her arms. Then, Sabrina walks in) And Vanisher? Huh, now all we need is Ladybug and Cat Noir. (Sabrina stands next to her seat, looking at the ground sadly)

"Present!" Marinette and Adrien both jokingly pointed out and everyone laughed hard in agreement except for Lila who still looks annoyed.

Chloé: Well? What are you doing? Sit down. (Sabrina gasps and sits down happily. Chloé shows a small smile.)

Marinette: Did you see that? Chloé smiled nicely! Kinda. I think she's actually happy to have Sabrina back.

Alya: Weirdly enough, I think the feeling is mutual. (Sabrina takes out her tablet, and Chloé slides another brooch in front of her)

Chloé: And put it on your sweater, it'll make it less horrible. (Sabrina puts it on happily)

Sabrina: Oh, thank you Chloé!

Chloé: Yeah, yeah. You can show me your gratitude later, class is starting. (She smiles again)

Marinette: I think they'll always be BFFs. In their own way.

Alya: I still prefer our way, though. (They playfully meet knuckles and smile to each other, below them Adrien smiles as well. Fades to the end card of them and pictures of Ladybug to the left, Cat Noir in the center looking at Ladybug, and Antibug to the right)

"Well, that was interesting. We got one episode left for today: the season 1 finale," Angel said excitedly.

"Which is?" Alix asked.

"Volpina, which was Lila over there," Angel answered as she pointed to Lila. Immediately after the answer, Lila begins to internally panic while the people who know about her begin to smile in excitement. "Before we get started, does anyone wanna get something off their chests?" Angel looked at Lila with that question, but the lying sociopath decided to stay silent. Suddenly, Marinette raised her hand and Angel pointed to her.

"Even though I'm pretty sure I'm not the person you're talking about, I do have something to get off my chest," Marinette said.

"You're right, but good for you, Marinette. Setting a positive example for everyone else. Go ahead," Angel said smiling at the superhero.

"Adrien, I spied on you and Lila at the library and at the park. I don't actually regret it, but it was pretty nosy and undignified of me. I'm sorry," Marinette apologized to her boyfriend, who then smiled.

"Well, that certainly explains what happened afterwards," Adrien said, leaving everyone but Lila and Angel really confused. "You shouldn't really spy on people, m'lady, but you did save me in a way, so I guess I should thank you for that."

"OK, anyone else?" Angel asked, hoping Lila will finally come clean, but no such luck. "OK, have it your way." Angel snapped her fingers. Lila then suddenly started becoming mute and shaking as if she's trying to get loose in which everyone now has noticed.

"What did you do to Lila? Is she the person you're talking about, dudette?" Nino asked curiously and Angel nodded.

"Yes. I muted her and put invisible restraints on her," Angel explained about what's happened to Lila.

"Does this have to do with Marinette saying that Lila is a liar because...?" Alya began to ask in Lila's defense, but Angel gave a hand signal to be quiet.

"Yes, it does. Marinette was right all along about Lila being a liar. And don't argue with me on that! Some of the evidence is gonna be shown in front of you," Angel said sternly. Suddenly, the audience looked at Lila who tried shaking her head in denial, but then turned their attention back to the screen, intrigued to see what Marinette has been saying about Lila all along.
