*Peeks around the corner*
*Places the newest chapter on the ground*
*Retreats before smothered*
Finally relieved it's not any of them, the whole class settled in, ready to watch the next episode.
Scene: KIDZ+ studio.
Alec: Welcome to the finals of our KIDZ+ competition! When today, one lucky winner will be announced as our brand new KIDZ+ weather girl!
(Crowd chanting Mireille's and Aurore's names)
"Ughh, I should have been there," Chloe huffed. "I was so obviously the best. Why can't anyone see talent these days."
"Yeah, talent. You are the most talented at being a brat," Alya muttered as she and Nino snickered.
Aurore: Hi!
Mireille:(giggles)
Alec: We started off with 5000 contestants. But with the help of our audience at home, we whittled our talent down to just these two amazing young ladies! So, let's welcome our fantastic finalists! To my right, Aurore Beauréal, and to my left, Mireille Caquet! Who will be the lucky winner? Vote now! Text 1 for Aurore and 2 for Mireille. And remember, standard text messaging rates apply.
"I swear this guy can speak faster than Alix can skate!" Kim exclaimed, gesturing wildly.
Smirking, Alix replied, "Finally admit that I'm fast big guy."
The whole class laughed.
"Um, uh, no. You… you're just reading too far into it."
"Sure, sure."
Scene: Dupain-Cheng House. Marinette is chasing Manon.
Marinette: Come on, Manon, give that back!
Manon: But I wanna be a fashion designer too!
(Marinette falls on the sofa.)
Marinette: Manon, please, it's not finished! You're gonna ruin it!
Manon:(giggles)
"Oh, I see now. That's why you needed help," Alya laughed, poking the smaller girl next to her. "She is an absolute angel for me but a demon for you."
The blunette simply blushed.
Marinette: Huh? (crashes with the table) Ah! Nnnngh...
Marinette: Hmmm... Huh? Ah! (giggles; walks to the curtain, only to see that Manon is not there)
Manon: I'm gonna vote for Mireille, she's the best!
(Marinette grabs her phone.)
Marinette: Hey, my phone!
(Manon grabs Marinette's hat.)
Marinette: Ughhh... Why did I agree to do this again?
(Tikki appears)
"That reminds me," Marinette asked, as the episode was paused again. "Where is Tikki?"
"Yeah, and where is Plagg?" Andrien followed.
Leah sighed as she turned to face them. "Can we talk about it later. At least until after we finish this episode. We have had to many distractions and are behind ti..."
"No! No, we need to know now." They yelled at instantaneously.
Exasperated, Leah replied, "Fine. They are safe right now with Master Fu."
"But what if we need them?"
"You will not be needing them. There is no danger here. Stop worrying because we need to keep watching."
"Fine. But once we are done with this whole… binge watch, I need Tikki back immediately."
"Sure, now can we keep watching?"
"…Yeah."
Marinette: Stay low, Tikki!
Tikki: Don't worry. You know what? If you can handle Manon for a day, any villain here on out will be a piece of cake.
(Doorbell rings; Tikki hides)
Marinette: Alya?
Alya: Hey, I got a huge scoop for you. Guess who's on a photoshoot in the park?
Marinette: Now? Adrien is in the park right now?
"Ooh, m'lady was so excited to see me in the park." Adrien chuckled, as Marinette's cheeks flushed red.
"It's not like that. I… I just…"
"It's ok bugaboo. I would have been excited to see you in the park too." Adrien smiled.
"Ok, this lovey-dovey stuff is beautiful, but can we please just keep watching," Leah remarked, cutting off the two love-birds' conversation.
Alya: As we speak!
Marinette: Oh, gosh! What...what am I gonna say to him?
Alya: The same thing as usual: (imitates Marinette) "I... uhhh... dahee... wha... ahh..."
Marinette: Stop it.
Manon: Uh, who's she?
Marinette: Whoops! I forgot about this little detail.
Alya: And who's she?
Marinette: This is Manon, one of my mom's friends' daughters. I'm watching her all afternoon. (Gasps) Oh no! I can't go out!
Alya: Let me guess. Another "you couldn't say no" favor?
Marinette: No, I just couldn't... say... no...
Alya: Look, no problem! I'll look after your little detail for you.
(Manon runs off)
Marinette: Thanks, but I'm responsible for her... Besides, I couldn't do that to you. She's... an absolute angel! (A crash is heard. Marinette screams and runs after Manon, who is carrying a pot and a spatula.) Manon! Put that down! Ugh! Come back!
Alya:(Marinette continues to chase after Manon until Marinette and walks back to Alya and Manon continues to pull on her arm) You're just a pushover, Marinette. I have to babysit my sisters all the time, which makes me an expert in dealing with angels.
Manon: Who are you, anyway?
Alya: I'm a mythical unicorn from the world of Reespa, disguised as a totally fabulous human girl. I grant magical wishes, but only to little monkeys who behave!
Manon:(laughs) No, you're not! ...Are you?
"Wow, this kid actually believed you!?" Nino exclaimed. "Of all the things she could have chosen to believe, that is what she picked!"
"Hey, kids will believe whatever you tell. Trust me, I speak from experience."
(Alya grabs Manon in the air, and puts her on Marinette's shoulders.)
Alya: Okay, let's all go to the park!
Manon: Yay!
Marinette: Okay!
Scene: KIDZ+ studio. The new weather girl is about to be chosen.
Alec: This is the moment we've been waiting for! The viewers at home have made their decision, and the new KIDZ+ weather girl is...
(The votes are shown onscreen. Mireille has significantly more votes.)
Alec: Mireille!
Aurore:(Gasps)
(Crowd cheers)
Alec:(To Aurore) Man, she crushed you, eh? Better luck next time!
Aurore: Ughh... (leaves angrily)
Alec: What's the big deal? You only lost by half a million votes!
"Why is Alec so mean to her?" Rose cried. "Half a million votes is not a small number."
"That is accurate Rose." Max replied. "Let's say all of Paris voted. That would mean that only 38.7% of people voted for Aurore. Obviously not all of Paris was watching. This percentage would have been much lower as a result."
"Wow, you would think that he would be a bit more sympathetic," Marinette muttered. "She just lost by a landslide."
Scene: Hawk Moth's lair.
Hawk Moth:(his window opens) The vibrations are so strong, I can feel the eminent anger and sadness. The moment of weakness at my next victim... Such easy prey for my akuma. (He turns a butterfly into an akuma, and sends it out.)
Scene: KIDZ+ building. Aurore Beauréal enters the elevator.
Aurore:(In the elevator) I should have won, I have the talent, the star looks, everything! But she took everything away from me. They took everything away from me! They-
(The power suddenly goes down)
Aurore: Uh? Ah!
(The akuma enters the elevator)
Aurore:(swinging her parasol) Ngh! Ah! (opens the parasol, and the akuma infects it)
(The power is up again)
Hawk Moth: So correct you are. You should have won. Yes...
Aurore: I should have won. Yes!
Hawk Moth: Stormy Weather, I am Hawk Moth. I give you the power to seek revenge on them as my weather girl. All you have to do is bring me the Miraculous. Can you do that?
Aurore: Yes!
Hawk Moth: That's my weather girl. Show the world who the best weather girl really is!
(As he says this, the elevator doors open, revealing Stormy Weather.)
Scene: The Place des Vosges. Adrien is having a photoshoot.
Marinette: Come on. We're gonna stroll over there real cool as if we just happened to be passing by.
Alya: Then what?
Marinette: Then? I'll invite him out for a fruit smoothie at the end of the photo shoot! Then, we'll get married! Live happily ever after in a beautiful house and have two kids? No, three. And a dog! Maybe a cat? Nah, forget the cat. A hamster! I love hamsters!
The whole class was in hysterics as Marinette curled in on herself, trying to hide from a certain boy, who was currently a rather vivid shade of red.
"Why does this have to happen to me?" Marinette whimpered as Alya patted her back.
Alya: Let's just start with happen to be passing by and see if we can get to that smoothie.
Marinette:(giggles)
Vincent: Magnifico! Super! Come on now, I want to see hunger in your eyes!
Marinette: Remember, cool! Just be cool...
Alya: Um, we couldn't be more invisible.
Marinette: Okay, let's start over. (Adrien sees them, and waves at them.)
Marinette: Did you see that? He waved at me!
Alya: Yeah, I saw it too. Pretty normal, since we're in the same class. (Puts Marinette's hand down)
Scene: KIDZ+ building. Mireille enters the elevator holding her trophy. She exits and sees Stormy Weather.
Stormy Weather: Hahahaha! I am Stormy Weather. The only weather girl who always gets the forecast right! And unfortunately for you, there's a freak icy front moving in right now! (attacks with her parasol and fires a blast of ice)
Mireille: Somebody get me out of here! Help! Help!
Scene: The Place des Vosges. Vincent is taking pictures of Adrien.
Vincent:(photographing Adrien) Bravo! That's it! Give me the smile when your mom brings in spaghetti! Okay! And now, Oh no! Mama dropped the spaghetti! And now, you have to eat the spaghetti off the floor! Oh yes, you're angry! Show me angry, yes, yes, yes!
Manon:(looks at balloons) Marinette, I want a balloon with Mireille on it! Can I? Can I? ...Marinette? Marinette!
Marinette: Ah!
Vincent: Ngh! Silenzio!
Manon: Come on!
Alya: Come on, small fry! I'll get you that balloon!
Manon:(grabbing a hold of Marinette's leg) No! I wanna go with Marinette!
Marinette: Hmmm... (Marinette looking back at Adrien's photoshoot) I'll deal with it. I am her babysitter.
Alya: But what about Adrien?
Scene: Outside the KIDZ+ studio. Stormy Weather exits as the crowd chants Mireille's name.
Civilian: Where's Mireille?
Stormy Weather: Ugh... For all of you who voted for Mireille, I'd advise you to move indoors. It's going to get very blustery! Oh wait... too late.
(She attacks with her parasol, sending the civilians away with a windy blast.)
Scene: The Place des Vosges.
Marinette: Come on, let's go back.
Manon: I want to go on the merry-go-round!
Marinette: No, no, no, no, not right now, I gotta get back to Adrien...
Manon: You promised! You aren't going to break your promise, are you?
Marinette: Aw, please, please, not the baby doll eyes... You know I can't say no to the-
(Manon flashes her baby doll eyes.)
Marinette: Aw...
(Manon grabs Marinette by her hand, giggling.)
"Pushover," Alya teased.
(Stormy Weather is flying above, seeing banners of Mireille and a balloon of Mireille.)
Stormy Weather: Uhhh!
Civilian: Here's another one!
Vincent:(photographing Adrien, who appears to be tired) Oh no, no! The boy has eaten too much spaghetti! Ugh, we need more energy! More romance! We need...a girl! (runs to Alya) You! I need an extra!
Alya: Who, me?
Vincent: Sì! To pose with Mr. Adrien!
Alya: Hah! You don't want me, I... uhh... I think I'm having an allergic reaction to this apple. (talks as if her tongue is swollen) I know jutht the perthon you need! Hold that thought! (She runs to Marinette.)
Alya: They need an extra to pose with Adrien!
Marinette: What? Seriously?
Manon: Is that boy your boyfriend?
Marinette: What? No, I mean, yes? No!
Alya: Go on! What are you waiting for?
Marinette: But, what about Manon?
Alya:(Alya wagging finger towards Marinette and hand gesturing her move aside) You take care of Prince Charming, and I'll take care of Miss Unicorn here. You don't know how to control her anyway.
Manon: No way, Marinette's my babysitter!
Alya: Trust me. Unicorns unite! Let's go to Rispa and find us some sad little village kids and grant those wishes! Yee-haw!
Manon: Yee-haw!
Marinette: Huh? (Sees Stormy Weather)
(Stormy Weather fires an icy wind at the civilians. The icy wind surrounds the merry-go-round and freezes it.)
Civilian: Run!
Marinette:(Runs to a bench) Time to transform!
[Transformation Sequence]
Marinette: Tikki, spots on! Yeah! (Marinette transforms into Ladybug)
Civilians: Oh no! Ahh!
Adrien: Uh? (He runs to a tree and opens his bag, but it's empty.) Plagg? Plagg!
Plagg: I'm not here! I'm sleeping!
(Adrien holds up a piece of Camembert.)
Plagg:(Flies over to the Camembert) For your information, I can smell Camembert in my sleep. It's only one of my many talents.
"Gosh, he is so obsessed with cheese!" Adrien exclaimed.
"At least you know how to get that cat moving though," Marinette laughed. Looking at her face, he could not help but laugh as well.
Adrien: Great, but there's no time to talk cheese.
[Transformation Sequence]
Adrien: Plagg, claws out! (Adrien transforms into Cat Noir)
Ladybug: Why did I leave Manon? I should have never done that! No. Alya's right. She's in good hands. I must trust her. (To Alya and Manon) I'll get you out of there! Let's wire-cut this icy cake!
(Ladybug uses her yo-yo, but its cord just slips off of the ice.)
Ladybug: Or not? On to plan B! (To Alya and Manon) Don't worry, everything's gonna be okay!
Manon: Where is Marinette?
Ladybug: She hasn't forgotten about you, Manon.
Manon: How did you know my name?
Ladybug: Ah! Uhh... Marinette told me! She's coming right back, okay? (Swings away)
Scene: City. Stormy Weather leaves the park.
Cat Noir: Hey Ice Queen, what's with all the terrorizing? Why don't you pick on someone your own temperature?
"Nope… no. That was terrible Adrien," Nino huffed, as the rest of the class laughed. "I can't believe you."
Stormy Weather: My name is not Ice Queen! It's Stormy Weather!
Cat Noir: Listen. I'm feline more generous than usual today. So cool down and we'll call it quits, 'kay?
(Stormy Weather fires wind at Cat Noir.)
Cat Noir: Waaaaaahhh! (He flies a long way and lands in a nearby street.)
(Ladybug appears and lifts him.)
Ladybug: I thought cats always landed on their feet.
Cat Noir: Why thanks, my Ladybug, but I had it covered. (kisses Ladybug's hand)
Ladybug: Huh? (pushes Cat Noir back by his nose) No time for your childish charms, Cat Noir. But you're welcome.
Stormy Weather: We should be expecting lightning storms like right NOW! (She uses her parasol to darken the sky with storm clouds and create lightning and Ladybug and Cat Noir scream and groan.)
(Cat Noir lands on top of Ladybug and he kissed her and they gasp then Ladybug blinks twice. Cat Noir blinks twice and pulls himself up and grins. Ladybug turns his head toward Stormy Weather.)
Cat Noir: You just won yourself a cat fight!
Stormy Weather: Black ice! (She uses her parasol to coat the street with ice; then creates another wind blast.)
Ladybug:(catching Cat Noir) Gotcha!
(Stormy Weather sees a screen with Mireille and blasts it.)
Cat Noir: A little Cat Noir will take the wind out of her sails!
Ladybug:(she grabs Cat Noir by his tail) Whoa, kitty kitty. You better think before you leap.
(Cat Noir pets his tail)
Cat Noir: You got a plan?
Ladybug: Just follow my lead. (Runs along the face of a building, prompting Cat Noir to do likewise on the other side of the street.)
Stormy Weather: Ugh...
Ladybug: Hoaaah!
Cat Noir: Uhhhhh!
Stormy Weather: Not you again! (Fires a windy blast at them, knocking them backward through the air, along with several vehicles.)
Ladybug and Cat Noir: Ahhhhhh!
Ladybug: Huh? (Sees a bus about to crash onto them.)
(Ladybug uses her yo-yo as a shield. Her yo-yo cuts a circular hole on the side of the bus, saving Ladybug and Cat Noir. The yo-yo stops spinning and falls on Cat Noir's head.)
Cat Noir: Ow! (Cat Noir is mad at Ladybug after her yo-yo fell on his head.)
(Ladybug giggles.)
Scene: The Place des Vosges. Alya is playing with Manon while trapped in the frozen merry-go-round.
Alya: Lemonade, crunchy ice, hit it once, hit it twice, freeze!
Manon: Hey, no fair, you always win, meanie!
Manon:(hears ice cracking) What's that?
Alya: It's... the big goblin king! He ate too much and split his shirt! Wahahaha! (chases Manon)
(The ice cracks again)
Alya: Wanna hear a story? (leads Manon under the merry-go-round)
Scene: City
Hawk Moth:(To Stormy Weather) You showed them all who the real winner is, my weather girl. But now is the time for you to fulfill your part of the agreement. And here's my plan.
Ladybug: Maybe she's got some anger issues!
Cat Noir: Or she didn't pass her driving test!
Stormy Weather(from the cracked screen) Hello, viewers! Here's the latest forecast for the first day of summer. Looks like Mother Nature had a change of plans. Summer vacation is officially over!
Cat Noir: Already? But I look so good in a swimsuit. (he smiles and he wiggles his eyebrows and nose at Ladybug)
Ladybug: The cat suit will do, thanks. At least now we know where to find her.
Stormy Weather:(from the screen) Prepare for the worst weather in history!
Cat Noir:(Sees a poster of Aurore) Hey! That girl reminds me of someone!
Ladybug: It's her! The akuma must be in her parasol!
Stormy Weather:(from the screen) In Stormy Weather's world, it's winter wonderland FOREVER!
(Ladybug and Cat Noir enter the studio, but they see no one.)
Ladybug: It's a recording!
(Stormy Weather cackles and fires a lightning bolt at a light. Lights go out in the building.)
Hawk Moth: This is all going wonderfully according to plan. Soon their Miraculous will be mine. Bring them to me!
Cat Noir: Frosty the Snowgirl's getting away!
(Ladybug trips and falls.)
Cat Noir: Oh, do I hear a damsel in distress?
Ladybug: Some of us don't have night vision... Whoa!
Cat Noir: (grabs Ladybug's hand and leads her along the way) No need to bug out. Just trust me!
Scene: The Place des Vosges. Alya is telling a story to Manon.
Alya: Then the cyclops monster picked the princess up in his hand and said, "Look into my eye!"
(Manon laughs.)
Alya: Then, gluck! She stuck a finger right in it! As soon as she took a bite of the cursed potato, the poor princess fell into a deep, deep sleep.
(An icicle breaks through the top of the merry-go-round.)
Alya: Hurry up, Ladybug... (hugs Manon)
Scene: Darkened KIDZ+ building. Ladybug and Cat Noir, who continues leading her by the hand, are looking for Stormy Weather, using Cat Noir's night vision.
Ladybug: Okay, that's enough. I think I can manage to-
Cat Noir: Duck!
(A fire extinguisher canister thrown by Stormy Weather narrowly misses Ladybug.)
Ladybug: -follow your lead on this one.
(Ladybug and Cat Noir finally reach the top of the building. They are holding hands)
"Awwww." The whole class exclaims as Marinette and Adrien become redder than Nathaniel's hair.
Stormy Weather: You airheads! You fell right into my trap! (makes a whirlwind appear with her parasol)
Hawk Moth: The time is now! Bring me the Miraculous!
Stormy Weather: There's no way out! Party's over, fools!
Ladybug: We're just- (sees Cat Noir holding her hand)
Cat Noir: Heh-heh... (lets go of Ladybug)
Ladybug: We're just getting started, Stormy! Lucky Charm! (Ladybug's Lucky Charm superpower gives her a bath towel.) A bath towel? What am I supposed to do with this?
Cat Noir: Great. So, we're about to be obliterated, but... At least we'll be dry.
Ladybug: Just hold your whiskers.
Stormy Weather: Hail! (A hailstorm appears)
(Cat Noir spins his staff to make a shield and protect Ladybug from the hail.)
Cat Noir: So what's the plan for getting the akuma back? My arm's starting to get a cramp!
Ladybug:(She uses her Lucky Vision. It shows her an HVAC tube, the bath towel, and a sign.) See that sign over there? Check it out!
Cat Noir: All right. Cataclysm! (to Stormy Weather) Hey, Coldilocks! Is that all you got?
(Stormy Weather attacks Cat Noir with lightning, but he dodges. He uses his Cataclysm to make the billboard fall down, its aim toward Stormy Weather. She blasts a hole in it and Ladybug wraps her yo-yo around Stormy Weather's ankle. Ladybug takes off running under pipes and against a crane before jumping over an HVAC. Opening the towel, Ladybug soars in the air, pulling down Stormy Weather. The speed at which she falls and the angle of the crane cause her to lose her parasol. Cat Noir catches it, tossing it to Ladybug.)
Ladybug: Get out of here, you nasty bug. (Breaks the parasol)
(The akuma flies away from the parasol.)
Ladybug: No more evildoing for you, little akuma. Time to de-evilize! (She captures the akuma.) Gotcha! (She closes the yo-yo and purifies the akuma.) Bye bye, little butterfly. (She opens the yo-yo and lets the butterfly out) Miraculous Ladybug! (The miraculous light fixes the damage caused, and turns the weather back to normal.)''
Scene: The Place des Vosges. The glacier the merry-go-round is trapped in melts.
Alya: And after defeating the three-headed dragon with...Huh?...Taekwondo...
Firefighters: Yeah!
Alya: Princess kissed her Prince Charming and...
Manon: They lived happily ever after?
Alya: Uh, sure. Until they had a dozen or so little monkeys like you who drove them crazy!
Scene: KIDZ+ building. Stormy Weather turns back into Aurore.
Aurore: Uh, what am I doing up here?
Ladybug and Cat Noir: Pound it!
Scene: Hawk Moth's lair.
Hawk Moth: Someday, a Miraculous will be all mine. I don't care how many enemies I need to throw out to win, but I will be victorious!
"Ok, let's be honest here," Alya wondered. "When is he going to stop with all this 'I'll win one day' crap. You'd think he would take a hint."
Scene: The Place des Vosges.
Tikki: Hey, there's the photographer and Adrien waiting for you!
Marinette: You don't think it's too late?
Tikki: Come on, Marinette. You saved Manon, and the whole world for that matter. Have some fun!
Manon: Marinette!
Marinette: Huh?
Manon: I know what your secret is!
Marinette:(Shocked) W-w-what secret?
Manon: Ladybug is your best friend! That's how you both always know what the other one's gonna do!
Marinette: Huhhh... Phew! (She hugs Manon)
Manon: Can I have a lollipop? Can I? Can I? Can I?
Marinette: No, Manon. I have something important to do. Alya, you'll watch her, yeah? I'm ready for the photoshoot!
Vincent: Wait. Who is that angel? (Looks at Manon)
Manon: Haha!
Vincent:(takes photos of Adrien with Manon) Hohoho! Stupendous! Magnifico! Perfecto! ...
"That was probably the weirdest photo shoot yet."
Marinette: Ughhh... (Alya pats her.)
THE END
"That was awesome!" Rose jumped from her chair.
Leah got up, pausing the episode before the next one could come up. "5-minute break. No a second longer." She headed over to the snack table.
The rest of the class stood up and crowded Marinette and Adrien, flooding them with questions as Leah just stood back and smirked.
A/N: Ok, yes, I know. I have been gone for ages. I promised to upload once a week and I come back a whole year later. I'm really sorry for the massive wait. And I won't make any more promises that I can't keep. My upload schedule won't be consistent this year either I'm now officially in year 12.
LAST YEAR HERE WE GO!
But anyway. Really sorry for the huge wait and I will try to be more on top of things. Thanks for all your support and reviews.
