Gabriel Agreste was in his evil lair, as per usual, staring at a bunch of holographic images of Ladybug. "I've been up for eleven hours straight..." he began to monologue, "I finally know," his eyes widened. "Marinette Dupain-Cheng... is Ladybug." He stared at a chart with the x-axis labeled 'Marinette' and the y-axis labeled 'Ladybug', with a line showing a positive correlation. "The evidence... is overwhelming." He concluded, "I must ask her." He turned to his kwami. "Nooroo, find her!"

The little purple boi deadpanned. "No."

Gabriel took a deep breath, "then TRANSFORM ME!"


Meanwhile Marinette was walking to school with Alya, smiling and laughing. Out of nowhere, a figure dropped out of the sky.

"MARINETTE!" shouted Hawk Moth, hanging from a lamppost.

"Yea?" asked the teen nonchalantly.

He took a deep breath, "Are you Ladybug?"

"No." answered the bluenette, in the most monotone voice ever.

Hawk Moth fell to the ground, on his knees, crying.

(A/N: this is a sequel to the comic "Adrien Knows". Forgive me if I'm not funny.)
