19. The Mime

Scene: The streets. Ladybug returns home from a mission. She reaches her home and detransforms back into Marinette.

Marinette: Phew! That was a close save.

Tikki: What you did for Alya today was very cool, Marinette!

"What did you…oh yeah! That was one of the best days of my life!" Alya exclaimed excitedly.

"What did Marinette do for you?" Kagami asked curiously.

"You'll see," Angel said, pointing to the screen.

Marinette: You think? I would've liked to do more, but...

Sabine: (from downstairs) Marinette! Alya's here!

Alya: (from downstairs) Don't worry, Ms. Dupain-Cheng, I'll just head up.

Marinette: You didn't exactly wait very long to tell me the big news. Hide Tikki, quick!

Alya: Girl, you will not believe what just happened to me! So Ladybug had just saved a bunch of workers from a supervillain! There were like a gazillion reporters waiting to interview her and... that's when it happened! (Alya shows her the phone, and Marinette plays the video. The video shows Ladybug rescuing a child. Then, she greets Alya, who is filming the video and… )

Ladybug: (from phone) Hey! Aren't you Alya, the girl who writes the blog about me? The...Ladyblog!

Alya: (from phone) Uh... yeah!

Ladybug: (from phone) I like your work. It's awesome. Keep it up! (her Miraculous beeps)

Alya: (from phone) Your shoppingmode earring, Ladybug!

Ladybug: (from phone) Ah! Thanks. Better get going. Bug out!

Marinette: Uh... that was super...

Alya: Cool, right? Ladybug knows me! My blog! She thinks it's awesome! Awesome! Awesomeee!

"Awesomeee!" Chloe joked, imitating Alya on-screen making everybody else laugh.

"Shut up! I'm happy!" Alya said, her face blushing into a nice shade of pink.

Marinette: Yeah, that's... awesome!

Alya: Lemme go grab your laptop!

Marinette: You're right, Tikki, I think it made her a little happy.

"A little happy is an understatement. You made her ecstatic!" Adrien said, chuckling to what Marinette said on-screen.

"He's got that right, dudette!" Nino said, also chuckling along with his best friend.

Tikki: Can I see the video?

Marinette: Okay, but fast. (The phone slips out of her hand, but she grabs it) Whoa! You thought I was gonna drop it, didn't you? (Marinette accidentally deletes it)

Tikki: Video deleted?

"You deleted the video?! Alya's gonna kill you!" Alix said, laughing hard at her friend's misfortune.

"That's exactly what I was afraid of. Thank goodness that didn't turn out to be a problem and Alya forgave me for it," Marinette said, getting some confused stares. "You'll see."

Marinette: (gasps) I didn't just do that! Tell me I didn't just do that!

Tikki: You didn't just do that.

Marinette: Ahhh!

Tikki: Okay, you did just do that, but the least you didn't drop it!

Marinette: Oh, I really screwed up this time! Alya's gonna kill me!

Tikki: It's not the end of the world. I'm sure Alya will understand, uh, she is your best friend!

Marinette: You're right. (Marinette imagines what will happen if she tells Alya she deleted the video, Alya will get angry at her) Uh, on second thought...

Everybody burst into raucous laughter at Marinette's animated thought of Alya getting so angry and chasing her while Marinette is blushing a heavy shade of red in embarrassment.

"What do you think I am, girl?! A freaking she-demon?!" Alya exclaimed in-between laughs.

"Alya, you look so hilarious in Marinette's head?!" Rose also commented in-between laughs.

Alya: Who are you talking to?

Marinette: Uh, to a...a pigeon! Say hello to Alya, Jacques!

"A pigeon? Nice cover, m'lady!" Adrien said, still laughing at his girlfriend who shoved him in response.

Alya: Say "Bye bye", Jacques. And come down! You've got visitors! (They go downstairs to Marinette's room, and see Sabine, Mylène, and Mylène's father Fred.)

Sabine: What did you say the name of the play is, Mr. Haprèle?

Fred: Well, it's...

Mylène: It's called "The Mime's Extraordinary Adventures", starring the most talented, amazingly awesome actor and mime!

Fred: Come on, now.

Mylène: My father! Give it up for Fred Haprèle! (Marinette, Alya and Sabine applaud Fred)

"He really is," Mylene said, agreeing with what she said on-screen about her father. The people who know Mylene's father well also agreed.

Fred: Thank you very much! Thank you, Mylène.

Sabine: Well, congratulations, you must make your daughter very proud!

Fred: Now all I need is my hat to complete my costume.

Marinette: (grabs a hat she designed and gives it to Fred) Here it is!

Fred: Thank you, Marinette! Saving me at the last minute. (Fred mimes that the hat is inside a box. Fred opens the box and puts on the hat. Marinette holds the invisible box)

"Is that a derby hat? I thought you had a big problem with them," Adrien asked with a teasing smirk towards his girlfriend.

"I've had more confidence with them since I won your dad's contest. Still not my hat of choice though," Marinette answered.

Sabine: Ha! I don't think Mylène was exaggerating at all!

Fred: Why, thank you!

Marinette: I fixed the tear in it. I also sewed the pocket on the inside, just like you asked.

Fred: You've done a perfect job. Thanks to you, I'll have my good luck charm right here next to me at all times. A photo of my beloved daughter.

"Awwww!" Everybody gushed at the sight of Mylene with her father except for Lila, who just looked annoyed and uninterested.

Mylène: Aw, dad...(hugs Fred. Fred's phone rings. It's Sarah)

Fred: Hello, Sa...

Sarah: (from phone) Fred, where are you?

Fred: Yes, I had to pick up my hat!

Sarah: I need you here now!

"Whoa! That dudette really needs to chill!" Nino said about Sarah and everyone agreed with winces on their faces.

"Kinda reminds me of someone from Horrificator," Alya said, teasing her boyfriend though she agrees with his comment, bringing chuckles among the audience while Nino also blushed.

Fred: It's not an excuse! I know the bus is leaving in less than a half hour, I'll be there! (closes the call) That was Sarah, the place director. She's very nervous about the premiere. She's ready to blow a fuse! So I better get going. See you tonight at the Eiffel Tower, girls!

Alya: We can't wait!

Mylène: Love you, Dad!

Scene: The streets. Chris and Sarah are about to board the bus for the mime show.

Chris: So, what's his excuse this time?

Sarah: He had to pick up his hat from a repair shop. At least that's what he said.

Chris: Well, he's a very convincing actor.

Sarah: Actually, he is a great actor. But he's always making excuses for why he's late, why he's...

Chris: Falls asleep in the middle of rehearsal? Why he has to leave early? Why he's missing parts of his costume? Come on, Sarah! When are you gonna wake up and smell the coffee? But it's up to you if you wanna make the show suffer.

Sarah: Look, you're his understudy. Just be ready to take his place in case something happens, okay?

Chris: I won't let you down, Sarah.

"I'm getting a very bad vibe from this guy," Luka noted about Chris and everybody murmured in agreement.

"You're right. You'll see," Marinette, Adrien, and Angel said simultaneously, leaving the audience intrigued.

Sarah: Thanks.

Scene: Bakery. Mylène, Alya and Marinette are at lunch.

Mylène: Thanks, Marinette. I gotta go. I wanna swing by my house to change before the show. (Alya's phone rings)

Alya: Hey, that's my ringtone! (Marinette picks up the phone) Gimme! (Alya grabs the phone) That was my mom. I'll call her back later. Hey, Mylène! You wanna see the most amazerrific video?

Marinette: No! Uh... I mean... You wouldn't wanted to be late for her dad's premiere, would you?

Mylène: Yeah, Marinette's right. I gotta get going.

Alya: Okay. I'll walk out with you and show it to you on the way.

Marinette: Wait! (grabs the phone from Alya's bag) Your bag's still open. (closes the bag) All good! See you tonight!

"OK, girl, you're really starting to get a bad habit of stealing other people's phones," Alya commented with a laugh (along with the rest of the audience), remembering her phone and Adrien's phone from Copycat.

"I'm really sorry, Alya. I really am. I was trying to fix a mistake," Marinette said, blushing.

"No worries, girl. I know you wouldn't steal anything for malicious reasons,"Alya said as she hugged her best friend, indicating her forgiveness.

Alya: Bye!

Mylène: Bye.

Scene: The streets. Fred is hurrying to board the bus. Along the way, he calls Sarah.

Fred: Don't worry Sarah. I'm early. I'm just around the corner.

Chris: No, this is Chris. Sarah asked me to call you with a last-minute location change. The bus is picking us up in 10 minutes, in front of the Louvre Pyramid.

Fred: Really? That's on the other side of town!

Chris: Yes, but, uh... It's closer to the Eiffel Tower.

Fred: Well, okay. Uh, luckily, I'll just make it on time. Thanks for letting me know, friend.

Chris: Sure, will see you there! (Meanwhile, Alya and Mylène are about to go home)

"I cannot believe he just did that to my dad!" Mylene said loudly and angrily about Chris, and the audience frowned and growled in agreement except for Lila who's just indifferent.

"I know! I mean lying and manipulating innocent people just to get what you want! That's just sick!" Marinette said and the audience nodded in agreement.

"Reminds us of someone we know. But worse," Adrien commented with a frown towards Lila, confusing the audience except for Marinette, Chloe, Kagami, and Angel who immediately understood who he meant.

"You mean Chloe, dude?" Nino asked curiously.

"Well, Chloe to a little extent, but not exactly the person I'm talking about. You'll see," Adrien said. As everybody else turned their attention back to the screen, Adrien and the people who understood him glared at Lila who responded by looking away with a frown.

Alya: I'm off this way.

Mylène: All right, see you later.

Alya: Wait! I have to show you my awesome vid... Where'd my phone go?

Scene: Marinette's room. Marinette has Alya's phone.

Tikki: You stole Alya's phone?

Marinette: Um, I... borrowed it! Look. All I need to do is transform into Ladybug and film myself during the exact same thing in the exact same place. And then I'll give it right back.

"Just one problem, m'lady: how are you gonna get Alya's voice since she talked in the video as well?" Adrien asked his girlfriend, and everybody else murmured in agreement.

"OK, I didn't exactly think it through!" Marinette said, causing everybody else to chuckle.

Tikki: I don't know. Maybe it's just better to come clean now. You might be digging yourself a bigger hole.

"We should establish a new rule for you, young lady: always listen to Tikki!" Sabine said to her daughter, making everybody else laugh hard in agreement while Marinette just blushed.

Marinette: I can handle this.

Tikki: Fine. But don't say I didn't warn you. (Alya's phone rings)

Marinette: Hey there, Mylène!

Mylène: (from phone) Do you have Alya's cellphone?

Marinette: Uh, Alya's phone? Ah! There it is! It must have fallen down off her bag! Silly girl.

Alya: (from phone) Me! I'm here too.

Marinette: Oh! Hi, Alya. You're on speakerphone? Hmm.. 'kay, I'll give it to you later on...at the show. See ya! (Tikki looks at her deceivingly) Don't look at me like that. This is all gonna work out! I think...

[Transformation Sequence]

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

Scene: The street. Chris is talking to Sarah.

Chris: We have to get to the Eiffel Tower for dress rehearsal. If you wait any longer, you'll be jeopardizing the entire production.

Sarah: (sighs) You're right, Chris. Let's get going. You'll be taking Fred's place tonight.

Chris: I definitely won't let you down.

"I'm gonna have some words about that guy on behalf of my dad when we get back!" Mylene said, still angry at Chris for what he did to her father.

"Normally, I agree, but that won't be necessary, Mylene," Marinette said, getting some confused looks. "You'll see."

Scene: The Louvre. Fred doesn't see the bus.

Fred: Where are they? (runs into Theo) Excuse me, you haven't seen a bus with the poster for The Mime's Extraordinary Adventures on it, have you? (Theo nods)

Scene: The bus. Sarah's phone rings. It's Fred.

Chris: He's got some nerve. Calling now? I wouldn't give him the time of day if I were you. (Sarah picks up the phone)

Fred: (from phone) Sarah, where are you?

Sarah: We waited for you, but you never came.

Fred: But I'm on time! In front of the pyramid.

Sarah: What are you talking about? Why would we be meeting there?

Fred: I don't know! I...I thought the meeting place had changed!

Sarah: Fred, I don't want to hear any of your lame excuses.

Fred: But, Chris said...

Sarah: I don't care. It's not just this excuse, it's...every excuse. It's always an excuse. Well, enough is enough. Chris will be the lead tonight at the premiere. At least I can count on him.

"I bet akumatizations would be much less frequent if people just listened to each other and treat each other fairly instead of cheating and scheming to get what they want!" Marinette said, deep in thought and everyone was inclined to agree except for Lila of course.

Ugh! You have to fight dirty to get what you want! At least this Chris guy gets it! Lila thought bitterly in her head.

Scene: Hawk Moth's lair.

Hawk Moth: (his window opens) Hmm. An actor who misses his own premiere. Now that's a tragedy. (turns a butterfly into an akuma) Go, my evil akuma, let's hand this actor the role of a lifetime!

Scene: The Louvre. Ladybug is about to redo Alya's video.

Ladybug: Okie dokie, here we go...(starts recording) Hey, aren't you Alya, the girl who writes the blog about me? The... Ladybl-- (A cat peeks at the camera) Hey! No, get away! (The cat jumps off and knocks the phone into the trashcan) Ugh...that is so... Eww! (Ladybug tries to get the phone out of the trashcan) Cats are nothing but trouble. (Meanwhile, Fred is still sad that he won't act on the show.)

"Excuse me?!" Both Adrien and Plagg teased Marinette in a fake offended tone.

"Sorry," Marinette said sheepishly.

Fred: What did I do? You're going to be so disappointed at me, Mylène... (The akuma appears and infects Fred's photo of Mylène)

"No! Never, Dad," Mylene said to her father on-screen, on the verge of tears.

"I hope that Chris guy got what's coming to him," Ivan said, as he cuddled his girlfriend in comfort.

Hawk Moth: Mime, I am Hawk Moth. I'm giving you the power to make whatever you gesture come to life. Destroy this premiere performance! You may be a mime, but they can't silence you! However, in return, you must bring me back Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculouses. So, shall we get on with the show? (Fred smirks and is akumatized into the Mime. He sees the posters for the show, and cuts them with an invisible sword. He mimics a baseball bat to knock off a police car. Ladybug notices it and approaches it)

Ladybug: Are you okay? (Officer Roger sees the Mime and runs away) It looks like Mylène's dad's hat. Oh no! Mr. Haprèle? If there's something ticking you off, we can talk about it, you know? (The Mime mimics a bow and arrows, and throws them at the police car.) Or maybe not. (Ladybug avoids the Mime's arrows)

"Mimes don't talk. Just pointing that out, Marinette," Angel said to the superhero who nodded in understanding and agreement.

Scene: The streets. Adrien is in his car with Nathalie and the Gorilla. Nathalie is talking to Gabriel on the phone.

Nathalie: Yes, sir. Understood, sir. I'm, sure he'll understand, sir.

Adrien: My dad's flaking, isn't he? Let me guess. Something came up?

Nathalie: Yes, but he has reserved the best seats in the house for you, Adrien. Front row.

Adrien: As usual. The best money can buy. (Suddenly, the Gorilla sees Ladybug, and hits the brakes)

"Son, does your father actually spend time with you at all?" Tom asked Adrien curiously.

"Just dinner time mostly, but not every night," Adrien answered sadly, making everybody else feel sorry for the boy except for Lila who's just indifferent.

Ladybug: Get out of the car and find a place to hide, I'll cover you. (Adrien stares at Ladybug, Ladybug stares at him. Suddenly, the Mime attacks them with invisible arrows. Ladybug avoids them. Meanwhile, Adrien hides)

"Nice romantic moment!" Alix snorted along with everybody else at the moment on-screen between the two heroes.

Adrien: We gotta transform now, Plagg.

Plagg: I thought I was gonna be a spectator, not a performer. What about the show?

"Ugh! You lazy pig!" Tikki said in exasperation of her fellow kwami's laziness making their owners chuckle.

Adrien: No time.

[Transformation Sequence]

Adrien: Plagg, claws out! (Adrien transforms into Cat Noir. Meanwhile, the Mime still throws arrows at Ladybug, but she dodges them, and crushes the Mime's invisible bow with her yo-yo. But the Mime opens an invisible box, and takes an invisible bazooka from it. Ladybug avoids it. The Mime mimics a whip, and uses it to grab Ladybug. Hawk Moth telepathically communicates with the Mime)

Hawk Moth: Grab her Miraculous, the earrings! Now! (The Mime uses the whip to pull Ladybug, but Cat Noir arrives and pushes the Mime away with his staff)

Cat Noir: Keep those hands to yourself, clown! It's okay, I've got this.

Ladybug: My pleasure, Cat Noir... (Cat Noir is about to fight the Mime, but the Mime mimics a cell and locks Cat Noir and Ladybug in it) Apparently, not seeing is believing.

Cat Noir: We can't let him go like that! (Ladybug sees the Mime mime a car and running away riding it. Cat Noir chases it)

Ladybug: No, wait, don't!

Cat Noir: There, I did it.

Ladybug; I wish you did. When he started miming the car, the bars disappeared.

"So, he could only mime one thing at a time?" Kagami asked as she observed the battle.

"Yep. That's his weakness," Marinette answered with a nod.

Cat Noir: Hey! Wait!

Scene: The streets. The Mime is riding his invisible car, but Ladybug and Cat Noir reach him.

Cat Noir: Nice ride, but if I were you, I would have at least made it a convertible.

Ladybug: He's one of the actors from the theater troupe, and he's after that bus! (The Mime gets out of the car) Where is he going? We gotta stop this thing!

Cat Noir: Slam down on the brake!

Ladybug: What brake? (Sees a woman and a child crossing the street, and hits the invisible brake)

Cat Noir: Not bad, for driving an invisible car, Course, they'll never believe us if we tell them we just saved their lives. (Meanwhile, the Mime mimes that he's putting on a helmet, and rides a motorcycle)

"Yeah, that looks really weird out of context," Marc noted as he wrote down his observations of the show.

"No kidding!" Nathaniel said as he chuckled in agreement with his boyfriend.

Ladybug: He's already off again! We gotta catch up with the bus before he does! (Cat Noir hangs her on his shoulder) What do you think you're doing?

Cat Noir: Good thing you have friends in high places. Hold on! (uses his staff to elevate Ladybug and himself up to the sky)

Ladybug: I could have done this on my own.

Cat Noir:' But we're the cat-and-bug team, remember?

Ladybug: Bug-and-cat team, you mean. Now drop me off over there.

Cat Noir: Keep grip. (uses the staff to drop Ladybug to where the bus is) Where could the akuma be?

Ladybug: Inside his hat!

Cat Noir: How'd you know that?

Ladybug: I have hidden talents. Trust me on this one. (Ladybug uses her yo-yo to make a net, but the Mime dodges the net and jumps on the bus.) You better distract him.

"Well, now at least I know how you knew," Adrien said and Marinette nodded in agreement.

Cat Noir: Gotcha. (Cat Noir distracts the Mime. Ladybug tries to reach his hat, but the Mime notices and attacks her. Ladybug dodges, Cat Noir knocks the Mime off the bus, but Ladybug grabs his hand. Inside the bus, Chris sees the Mime)

Chris: Fred?

Hawk Moth: The Miraculous! Grab her shoppingmode earring! (Ladybug is about to fall off, but Cat Noir grabs her)

Ladybug: His hat! Grab his hat!

Cat Noir: Look out! (The Mime attacks her, but he falls off the bus landing onto a car. He mimics a chainsaw to saw the ceiling of the car, and tells the driver to go on)

Ladybug: We got to get the passengers to safety!

Cat Noir: Can I lend a helping paw?

Ladybug: Yeah, cover me!

Cat Noir: Hurry up, my lady! (Ladybug enters the bus)

Ladybug: Stop the bus!

Sarah: Ladybug, what's happening?

Ladybug: One of your actors has been akumatized, and for some reason, he's seemed to heading in for your troupe!

Sarah: Fred? (Meanwhile, the Mime heads for the bus, and throws arrows at Cat Noir, but he dodges them with his staff. One of the arrows pinches a wheel of the bus, making it out of control. Cat Noir stops the bus in time)

Ladybug: Stay inside and don't panic. We'll get this under control.

Chris: Ladybug, I know why he's after us. I took his role from him. But he can perform instead of me! I don't care anymore! Please, just keep us all safe...

Sarah: What do you mean you took his role from him? He lost it!

Chris: Not exactly. There's something I have to tell you. (Meanwhile, the Mime reaches the bus and finds Cat Noir. He and Cat Noir fight)

"Well at least he's taking responsibility for his misdeeds. Unlike some people," Marinette said as she and Adrien frowned towards Lila who glared back. No one noticed the exchange and is just confused, but agreed with the part about Chris.

Hawk Moth: His Miraculous is within your reach! I want his ring! (The Mime is about to take the ring from him, but Ladybug ties his hand with her yo-yo)

Ladybug: I don't know what's made you this violent, but I don't think your daughter Mylène would approve! (The Mime pulls Ladybug, and mimics a bomb. He throws the bomb at Ladybug and Cat Noir)

"You're right, Marinette. I certainly wouldn't approve, no matter how angry I am at Chris," Mylene said as she cuddled with Ivan.

Cat Noir: He sure brings a whole new meaning to silent but deadly.

Ladybug: Ughhh... (bored) Lucky Charm! (a shoebox appears)

Cat Noir: A shoebox? Great. There better be some explosive boots in there or something. (The Mime is about to fight Cat Noir again. Ladybug uses her thinking and Sarah's glasses, the bus' light, a Mime poster and the Eiffel Tower flash)

Ladybug: Of course! We have to make him really angry! Blow his fuse!

Cat Noir: You don't think he's angry enough?

Ladybug: Cat Noir, you're good at annoying people, do your thing!

Cat Noir: Hey!... That is true.

Everybody burst into laughter in agreement that Cat Noir is good at annoying people and him saying that is true.

Ladybug: (takes Sarah's glasses) Gotta borrow these. (Grabs the Mime poster) A watch, a magnifying glass, some light... (uses the bus' light to project the Mime poster) Voila! A homemade projector. Hey, Mime! Nice poster, don't you think? (The Mime sees the poster projection and gets angered. He mimics a sword and cuts the Eiffel Tower in half. He sees it's falling and mimics a shield to stop it)

Ladybug: Yes! Remember, he can only mime one thing at a time.

"That was brilliant, Marinette," Kagami noted about Marinette's plan against the Mime in which everybody cheered and applauded in agreement except for Lila who's just angry and annoyed.

Brilliant?! More like annoying! Lila thought bitterly in her head.

Cat Noir: So he's cornered. Good thinking, my lady. (uses his staff to grab the Mime's hat) Yoink! (Ladybug grabs the photo in the hat and tears it, releasing the akuma)

Ladybug: No more evildoing for you, little akuma. Time to de-evilize! (catches the akuma with her yo-yo) Gotcha! (releases the akuma, turning it into a normal butterfly) Bye bye little butterfly. Miraculous Ladybug! (She throws the Lucky Charm into the air, and its energy turns everything back to normal.)

Scene: Eiffel Tower at sunset. The Mime turns back into Fred.

Fred: What happened? How did I... get here?

Ladybug and Cat Noir: Pound it!

"Pound it!" Marinette and Adrien once again fist-bumped and kissed in victory.

"Thanks for saving my dad, you two," Mylene said to the two with a grateful smile.

Sarah: I'm so sorry I didn't believe you, Fred.

Chris: I'm sorry too. I was so desperate to perform that I lied to you about where we were meeting up. (Ladybug's Miraculous beeps)

"OK, maybe Chris isn't so bad after all," Mylene said, happy that Chris took responsibility for his lie towards her father.

"Too bad some people won't follow his example," Marinette said as she and Adrien once again frowned over at Lila who still gave an evil glare, while most of the audience stays confused.

"OK, please tell me what you mean by that, girl!" Alya asked genuinely confused.

"Don't worry, Alya. You all will find that out soon. Besides if she told you now, you would come up some silly argument against that," Angel said with a glare towards Alya as the latter and most others at the audience stayed confused, but decided to let that go.

Cat Noir: Your earrings!

Ladybug: Better get going.

Cat Noir: Such a shame. I could have been your date in the play tonight. Just you and me.

Ladybug: Thanks, but I have other plans.

Hawk Moth: The show's not over yet, Ladybug. You just wait. There's still a last act to come when you least expect it. (his window closes)

Scene: Outside the Louvre. Marinette grabs the phone out of the trashcan.

Marinette: Got it!

Scene: Eiffel Tower. The Mime show is about to start. Adrien sees Marinette and Alya and takes a seat. Marinette looks at him with a big smile.

Adrien: Ah, hey, you're here too, cool. Thought I was gonna end up sitting by myself.

"Wow! We did end up watching the play together after all. Talk about a funny coincidence!" Adrien said, chuckling along with his girlfriend and friends.

Alya: Hey, did you bring my phone?

Scene: Outside the theatre. Marinette expresses to Alya her happiness seeing Adrien at the show.

Marinette: I don't know which I loved more. The show or sitting next to my sweet Adrien!

Alya: Maybe you should give him a call and ask him out to a movie.

Marinette: Speaking of calling, there's something I gotta tell you, Alya. I...accidentally erased your Ladybug video on your phone, and then, when I tried to fix the problem I dropped the phone in a dumpster and now it stinks like bad, like really, really bad, and I'm sorry, so, so, so sorry. I know how much that video meant to you and I'm the lamest of friends. Lamer than lame!

Alya: Ah ha ha! Chillax, lady. If there's anyone on this earth who knows about your legendary clumsiness, it's me, your BFF!

Marinette: So... You're not angry?

Alya: Well, you should've just come clean and told me in the first place. But no, we're cool. Besides, I uploaded the video on to my Ladyblog before I showed it to you.

"Oh, that's why you weren't mad at Marinette. Nice thinking, babe," Nino complimented on his girlfriend's thinking.

"With a friend like Marinette, it just made sense," Alya said as she and everyone else nodded in agreement. "Besides, she did something that totally made up for it! You'll see!"

Marinette: (surprised) I'm so lucky to have a friend like you! Now that we're good, you probably don't care about the surprise I planned for you.

Alya: (surprised) Screw up or no screw-up, you know I love surprises!

Marinette: Okay, you see that theater over there? There's something inside for you, on the stage.

Scene: Inside the theater. Alya sees Ladybug.

Ladybug: Hello! Alya, right? Last time I saw you, I was in a hurry, but I've got a bit more time now if you want to interview me for your Ladyblog.

Alya: No... Seriously? Do I! Do I!

Ladybug: Have a seat.

Alya: You don't know me, but FYI, this is like the biggest moment of my life.

Scene: Outside the theater.

Tikki: Alya's lucky to have you as a friend too, you know! (Alya exits the theater. She recorded the whole interview)

"I am! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" Alya exclaimed excitedly as she hugged her best friend tight. Everyone murmured in impressive agreement except for Lila of course.

Lucky?! More like an opportunity to make herself more famous! Lila thought angrily in her head.

Marinette: Show me!

Alya: Only after I put it on my blog! There's no way I'm gonna lose this video!

Marinette: Hey! (Both laugh)

"You two have the best friendship ever!" Rose gushed about Marinette and Alya, and the others murmured in agreement. "So, what's next?"

"Funny you ask that, Rose. Because the next episode is Princess Fragrance which was you," Angel said reluctantly to the super-sweet girl whose excitement slowly fades as the episode started playing.
