Adrien's Pov
"Doesn't look like it, looks like we're jumping straight in."
Scene: Tom & Sabine Boulangerie Patisserie. Marinette walks down the stairs and sees her mother.
Sabine: Well? With or without?
"What's going on here then?" Alya asked, I shrugged
"No idea."
"I know which Akuma this is." Mari says, I glance her "It's Timebreaker."
"Really? How can you tell?" Alix asked
"That's my mum getting ready to go out for her anniversary." Mari responded, I nodded in understanding
Marinette: Uh, with?
Sabine: You're sure it's not better without?
Marinette: Either way, you look perfect, Mom.
"That's so sweet of you to help your parents get ready for their anniversary." Rose gushed
"Thanks Rose." Mari responded, I glanced at her and caught her blush
Sabine: You know? It's not every day you celebrate your twentieth wedding anniversary.
"You're parent have been married for twenty years?" Nino asked, Mari nodded "That's amazing."
Tom: (off-camera) Marinette! Could you have a minute please? (Marinette runs over to him) Well?
Marinette: Well, what?
Tom: My mustache, I groomed it. Is it too short? Should I shave the whole thing off? Maybe it's a little crooked on one–
Marinette: You look perfect Dad. Uh, except for one thing. (points at his dirty baking apron, which he is still wearing)
Tom: Uh? Thanks sweetheart. (runs off)
Marinette: (chuckles) No problem Dad! (later, Marinette pushes her parents out of the doors)
Marinette: You're going to be late!
Tom: Now don't forget Mrs. Chamack will be coming by to pick up the Eiffel Tower cake in 30 minutes. I'm depending on you.
Marinette: Yeah, yeah. No sweat, piece of cake. (they leave and Marinette lets Tikki out) Wow, married twenty years. That's pretty cool, huh Tikki?
Tikki: Time flies when you're having fun.
"It definitely does." Alya says
Marinette: And stands still when you're doing homework. (Tikki chuckles)
I chuckle and squeeze Mari's hand
Scene: Le Grand Paris. Marinette's parents sit down to eat.
(Tom notices someone and waves and Alix waves back. It's Alix sitting at another table with her father.)
Alix: They're Marinette's parents. You know, one of the chicks I hang out with?
Mr. Kubdel: Yes, I remember. They make the best bread in the whole of Paris. (he notices one of Alix's sneakers) Couldn't you have made more of an effort to dress nicely?.
Alix: What do you mean? I took off my cap.
(she points to her cap)
Mr. Kubdel: But this is a special day.
Alix: Well, it's only a birthday.
Mr. Kubdel: No, this is a special birthday (reaches inside his jacket pocket and brings out a watch) This family heirloom was made by one of our ancestors many, many years ago. It's been passed down from one generation to the next, on their 15th birthday. And today, it's your turn to inherit it.
Alix: It's pretty sweet, dad. But I've already got a watch, synced up to my smartphone.
"Why would you turn down a birthday present? No matter if you've already got a watch or not." Kim asked, Alix shrugged
"I dunno."
Mr. Kubdel: But sometimes there's more to things than meets the eye. Let's just say that our ancestor was… (opens the watch) Ahead of his time. (Alix gasps)
"That's so cool." Rose says, I nod in agreement
Mr. Kubdel: Of course, I'd understand if you'd rather me buy you a new pair of rollerblades.
Alix: No, Dad! I'm stoked to have it. It's awesome, thank you! (The phone rings)
Mr. Kubdel: Are your friends waiting?
Alix: Yeah, but I don't wanna bail on you. It's cool.
Mr. Kubdel: No, no, go ahead. (Alix stands up and grabs her cap) Now, take good care of it.
"Now, I'll get to find out what really happened, not that it matters though, since you fixed it Mari." Alix said, Mari shrugged next to me
"It was the miraculous curse that fixed everything Alix, I just said the words and threw the lucky charm up in the air." Mari responded
Scene: Tom & Sabine Boulangerie Patisserie. Marinette is in her room doing homework.
Tikki: Come on Marinette! You can do it! Just remember the formula. Think, Marinette, think!
"I thinks she'd be able to concentrate better if you weren't distracting her with your encouraging words Tikki." Plagg said and Tikki shrugged
Marinette: I might be able to do it if you weren't distracting me so much with your encouraging words!
(Tikki giggles) (The phone rings)
Marinette: Hey Alya. What's up? The what? The bet between Alix and Kim? No, of course I didn't forget! I already made the banner for it! I know everyone's counting on me. In 5 minutes? No sweat. I'm on my way already. Be right there! Eek!
Tikki: But Marinette, you have to wait for Mrs. Chamack to pick up her cake!
Marinette: Gahhh! I've got 20 minutes before she gets here. I told them I'd take care of the banner and they're all counting on me! Besides, Adrien will be there too!
Tikki: You'll never make it to Trocadéro on 5 minutes, it's way too far!
Marinette: Not too far for Ladybug. (winks) Tikki, spots on! (Marinette turns into Ladybug. She swings away to the Trocadéro, detransforms, arrives just in time and shows everyone her banner. Everyone is delighted with it.)
"That's kind of cheating." Kim says, Mari and I shrug
"It works in our favour and we don't use it all the time."
Unknown: Oh, that's beautiful!
Adrien: Impressive, Marinette! (winks at Marinette and she giggles in return)
Kim: You all picked the wrong side to cheer on. Looks like Alix isn't even showing up! Probably too chicken to race an extreme athlete like me.
Alix: Spoke too soon, Kim. (Everyone cheers her on.) Your ridiculous bets are over. I'm gonna leave you in the dust, meathead!
Kim: You're no match for me. My neck is bigger than your thigh.
Alya: (Laughs) Is that a good thing?
Marinette: (laughs)
Max: (pushes Kim and Alix away from each other) Let's review the official rules. Two laps around the fountains; approximately 500 yards. The first one over the line's declared the victor! If Kim triumphs, Alix will relinquish her rollerblades to him. If Alix triumphs, Kim will be prohibited from making another dare for the rest of the school year.
Juleka: We're through with all of those stupid dares!
Ivan: Uh-huh, that's right!
Nathaniel: No more dares!
Max: On your marks, get set...
"I remember this race well." Alix says
"Me too." Kim says
Alix: Hold up! (Kim falls and the students laugh)
Kim: Forfeiting already?
Alix: (Gives her watch to Alya) Hold on to this for me, will you, Alya? I don't wanna drop it during the race.
Alya: Hold on girl, I can't! I gotta...
Alix: Guard it with your life. It's a family heirloom!
Alya: But... (Gives the watch to Marinette) Marinette, take this. I gotta record the race for my blog!
Max: On your marks, get set... GO!
(Alix and Kim start racing, Kim on foot, Alix on her rollerblades while everyone cheers on)
Marinette: But... she asked you to look after it. I gotta hold up the banner! (Marinette is suddenly pulled to the side and drops the watch, which falls in slow motion until Adrien catches it.)
Adrien: Need any help?
Marinette: Uh... yup! Thanks. Gotta be careful! Even if you are amazing.
"You're amazing too my lady." She giggles
Adrien: Uh?
Marinette: At... holding things! In your hands. (Everyone is cheering)
"I wish you would have just left it at that I was amazing." Mari giggled again and I mock pouted.
Max: Last lap!
Alya: Amazing at holding things?
Marinette: (chatters)
Chloé: Adrikins, whatcha got there? Some super old case or something?
Adrien: Careful, it's Alix's!
Chloé: If it's Alix's, it's probably worthless.
"Hey! Besides I never said you could hold it." Alix yelled, I glance back to see Chloè slumped in her seat slightly, I sent a slightly concerned look her way, before turning back to watch.
(Adrien is mad at Chloé for saying that and Marinette wants Chloé to give Alix's watch back to Adrien)
Marinette: Give it back to Adrien, Chloé. (Chloé opens the watch and she gasps)
"You know, back then I still didn't understand how one minute you could talk to everybody else with no problem, but couldn't say a single proper sentence to me." I looked at Mari who blushed
"Well, you made my heart race, and my brain cease functioning any time I came into contact with you, I just couldn't help it." Mari explained, I smiled at her
"Well, at least I know now that you didn't hate me." She gained a look of horror on her face and gasped out
"Never." I chuckled
"I'm just teasing."
(Alix and Kim are still racing. They are about to reach the finish line. Chloé accidentally drops the watch onto the racetrack. Alix's rollerblades break it.)
Alix: Yeah! Ha ha ha! (she looks behind her and she gasps)
Kim: I call a rematch. That false start back there threw me off! Uh...
Alix: (she Skates to her broken watch) Did you do this?
Alya: I had to videotape the race so I gave it to Marinette but then she had to hold the banner so she gave it to Adrien, then Chloé snatched it from him and dropped it and, uh, then you skated over it.
Alix: My old man gave me this for my birthday! This watch is totally a family heirloom!
Marinette: It was an accident!
Adrien: We didn't mean any harm, Alix.
Chloé: As if! I totally had nothing to do with this.
Alix: You're all to blame! (Skates away angrily)
"I didn't mean that you guys, honest, I was just angry and upset, I'd made a promise to my old man is all." Alix said,
"We know Alix." Rose responded
"Yeah, girl, we totally understand." Alya added
Marinette: Alix, wait!
Tikki: Marinette, what about Ms. Chamack's cake?
Marinette: There's still time! Hide, Tikki! (She runs to Alix)
"There definitely wasn't anymore time, Marinette." Tikki said, Mari nodded
"I'll remember in future." Mari responded
Scene: Hawk Moth's lair.
Hawk Moth: Such disappointment, frustration and negativity... Oh, how it fills my heart with exhilaration. (Turns a butterfly into an akuma) (waves his Cane in the air) Fly away, my little akuma, and evilize her!
"Evil, evil person." Mari whispers next to me and I laugh, while she bursts into giggles
Scene: Le Grand Paris. After Nadja Chamack knocked at the bakery's door and no one is there, she calls Tom.
Butler Jean: Bon appetit.
(Tom is about to eat, but his phone rings)
Tom: (to Sabine) It's Mrs. Chamack. (picks up the phone) Hello?
Nadja: Hi, I'm in front of the bakery.
Tom: Yes, I...
Nadja: But it's closed! And I really need that cake now!
Tom: I know you need your cake right away. Uh, my daughter's home, she must be upstairs. I'll phone her immediately. (starts calling Marinette)
"Yep, you were definitely home, not out watching your two friends race." Plagg says, I grin
Scene: The Trocadéro.
Marinette: Maybe we could fix it?
Alix: This watch was sick! One of a kind! It can't be fixed!
Marinette: Well, there has to be a way to get it back to the way it was.
Alix: Like how, huh? Go back in time and change the future? When you figure out how to do that, let me know. (Skates away)
"I didn't get chance to figure time travel out, Hawkmoth beat me to it." Mari groaned, I chuckled
"That's Alright Mari, I think I prefer not remembering being akumatized that remembering, that I actually travelled in time." Alix says
"Besides, time travel on its own isn't real." Max comments
Marinette: (Marinette's phone rings; it's her dad.) Uh-oh, this can't be good. (accepts call) Hello, dad...
(The akuma flies to Alix's skates, and possesses her)
Hawk Moth: Timebreaker. I am Hawk Moth. I'm granting you the power to retaliate against the people who've wronged you, and to go back in time to restore the future. But you must do me a favour in return, when the time is right.
Timebreaker: You got it, Hawk Moth.
Tom: Mrs. Chamack is outside waiting to take her cake.
Marinette: Uhh... I...I gotta go, dad. Can't keep Ms. Chamack waiting!
"But you didn't go take the cake to Ms. Chamack." Alya said, Mari shook her head
"Not the first time I didn't no." Mari responded
"First time?" Mari shrugged
"Just watch, you'll understand." I nod and turn to lookback at the screen
Tom: She was listening to music.
"No, she wasn't." Nino commented
(Timebreaker skates towards the students)
Adrien: Run!
(Kim tries to escape from the Timebreaker, but she touches him and steals his energy.)
Marinette: Stop, Alix! What are you doing?!
Timebreaker: The name's Timebreaker now. And I'm gonna go back in time and save my watch, using all you punks to do it!
"Time travel doesn't exist." Max claimed, I rolled my eyes and I heard Mari giggle, I gave her a soft smile which she caught and blushed
Marinette: Go back in time? What did you do to Kim? Why is he fading?
Timebreaker: I needed his energy. Besides, the dude was a pain anyway with all those bets. He deserves to disappear forever. And so, do you! (Skates toward Marinette, but she dodges her. Timebreaker chases Marinette, but she throws her banner in Timebreaker's face. Timebreaker trips and falls.)
Marinette: (hiding) We gotta transform, now!
[Transformation Sequence]
Marinette: Tikki, spots on! Yeah! (Marinette transforms into Ladybug)
(Timebreaker is about to skate away, but Ladybug catches her with her yo-yo.)
Ladybug: Time out, Timebreaker!
Timebreaker: Please, help me up, I messed up, please, please! (Rose sees her, and takes her hand to help her up.)
"I remember this, I wasn't sure of what to do." Rose said, I glanced behind me to see, Rose looking a little upset, Juleka wrapped an arm around her shoulders and whispered in her ear
"She'll be okay." Mari whispered in my ear, I turned my head to look down at her and she smiled at me "Juleka will look after her, so don't worry so much." I sighed and she smiled, reaching out to take my hand and squeezed, her face then suddenly gained a worried look
"Hey, what's the matter?" I heard her sigh and she let out a shaky breath
"I thought for a moment that I lost you in this episode, because you jumped in front of me." I frowned
"But I always jump in front of you, to protect you."
"Except this time, you were nearly wiped from existence." I frowned, and wrapped my arms around her, pulling her close to me
"I'm right here." I felt her shift her head so, her ear was against my chest, her hands clinging to my shirt.
Rose: Okay.
Ladybug: Noooo!
Timebreaker: (steals Rose's energy) Hahaha! Sweet Rose! Always thinking of others before yourself! (Looks at her time meter) One minute.
Ladybug: I gotta destroy her akuma before everyone disappears for good! Where on earth is that cat? (Swings away)
"Not ever too far away my lady." I whisper to her
Adrien: (Hidden behind a tree) Time to transform!
[Transformation Sequence]
Adrien: Plagg, claws out! (Adrien transforms into Cat Noir)
(Mylène runs away from Timebreaker, but she steals her's energy)
Timebreaker: One and a half minutes. You won't be able to stop me where I'm going, Ladybug!
Cat Noir: (touches Timebreaker with his staff) Let me guess. We're all playing a game of tag and you're it?
"Don't you wish it were that simple?" Kim asked
"Weren't you surprised that I got you first?" Alix asked
"Nah, I was the closest to you, and we had just been racing together." Kim responded
Timebreaker: Exactly!
Ladybug: Don't let her touch you!
Cat Noir: (dodges Timebreaker) Missed me! Just a second too late.
Timebreaker: (sees Alya) He he he he! (Skates towards her and steals her energy)
Ladybug: Nooo!
"He dude." Nino whispered, I glanced at him to see, him and Alya looking concerned "Is she okay?" I sighed and shook my head
"I don't think so."
"I'm not surprised, she's watching all her friends disappear and there's nothing she could do." Nino whispered
"Feeling a little bit helpless." Alya added, I nodded and held Mari tighter
Cat Noir: Well, she wastes no time, does she?
Ladybug: (growls) And the more people she freezes, the more minutes she gets to go farther back in time! Those poor kids frozen in time...They're goners if we don't get that akuma!
(Timebreaker is about to steal Ivan's energy, but Ladybug catches her.)
Ivan: Ahhh!
Ladybug: Keep your hands to yourself!
Hawk Moth: Now, Timebreaker! Grab her Miraculous! Her earrings!
(Timebreaker is about to steal her energy, but Cat Noir sacrifices himself for Ladybug.)
Ladybug: Cat Noir! Noooo!
"What!" the class yells, I felt Mari start to shake in my arms,
"Shh, I'm here, right here, you didn't loose me."
Timebreaker: Oh, wow, six minutes in one go! Must have been those nine lives. Gotta go! The past is waiting.
Hawk Moth: Timebreaker! The Miraculous! Take Cat Noir's ring before he disappears!
Ladybug: Go ahead and try!
(Timebreaker reaches out to try to take the miraculous, but Ladybug grabbed her arm, spins and let's go, making Timebreaker fly away from the fading Cat Noir, rolling and landing on her front. She then jumps to her feet)
Timebreaker: Chill out, Hawk Moth. I have a sick plan!
(Timebreaker is about to skate away. Ladybug catches her with her yo-yo, but she finds herself dragged by Timebreaker. Suddenly, they travel to the past, to the moment where Alix and Kim were racing.)
"Whoa, you actually travelled back in time." Max said astonished, I looked at the screen in awe
Ladybug: Whoa, what... just happened? Oh wow, we've gone back in time, haven't we?
Chloé: Whatcha got there?
Adrien: Careful, it's Alix's!
Chloé: What is this? Some super old case or something? If it's Alix's, it's probably worthless.
"It happened again." Kim said
"Total Déjà vu." Nino commented
Marinette: Give it back to Adrien, Chloé.
Timebreaker: My watch!
Ladybug: Chloé! Put the watch down!
(Chloé drops the watch causing it to break)
Timebreaker: Noooo! Ladybug, this time it's your fault! I need more energy. I gotta go further back in time!
(Alix rolled up to the broken watch)
Alix: Ladybug. It's all Ladybug's fault!
Scene: Hawk Moth's Lair.
Hawk Moth: Could this be possible? Do I see double vision in my future? Or should I say double villain? (Turns a butterfly into an akuma) Fly away, my devilish akuma, then join this troubled soul!
"Damn Hawkmoth." I growled
"So, there's going to be two Timebreaker's?" Sabrina asked
Scene: Trocadéro. (Past)
Ladybug: Everyone, get out of here! Don't let her touch you!
Adrien: Time to transform.
Marinette: Who are you?
"Uh oh, that must be awkward." Plagg commented
Ladybug: Uhh, I don't really have time to explain right now, but I'm you from just a few minutes in the future.
Tikki: She's right! I can feel it! She is you from the future!
Marinette: Crazy!
"So, weird, how do get yourself into these crazy situations?" Alya asked
Ladybug: Listen. I know it seems unbelievable, but trust me, I mean, trust...yourself? Oh, and dad's gonna call me! I mean, you, in two minutes! He won't be happy because Ms. Chamack is waiting for you outside the bakery door!
Marinette: The cake... But I, I still have...
Ladybug: Time? That's what I thought too. Ms. Chamack will be early. Just leave now and make sure to take care of the cake. Don't worry, Ladybug can handle this single-handed. (Marinette runs to the bakery) How did I get myself into these crazy situations?
"You even called it yourself." Alya chuckled, but Mari didn't respond, other that a couple of shaky breaths
(The two Timebreakers meet each other)
Ladybug: (sees Cat Noir) Cat Noir, I can't explain now, but we've got to capture Timebreaker's akuma! Your life depends on it!
Cat Noir: Which life? I've got nine.
"That's why you were so insistent, so serious." I whispered to her, I felt her nod
"I…I didn't want to…to lose you a…a second time." Mari whispered back, I sighed and squeezed her gently
Ladybug: I'm serious! The akuma is in her rollerblades. We gotta release it!
(They jump off the roof and land by the two Timebreakers.)
Cat Noir: Am I seeing double all of a sudden?
Ladybug: Another thing I don't have time to explain.
Timebreaker 1: The energy from these two will be enough for both of us to go farther back in time!
Timebreaker 2: Heh, I want my watch back! Let's do it!
Ladybug: Whatever you do, don't let either of them touch you!
Hawk Moth: Get the Miraculous, Timebreaker!
(They start to fight.)
"When does the other Marinette show up?" Myléne asked
"Soon, I hope." Alix says
Timebreaker 1: If we were faster, those bozos would be no match for us.
Timebreaker 2: Then let's stock up on more energy first. Then, we'll destroy them!
(The Timebreakers skate away. Ladybug and Cat Noir chase them.)
Scene: Bakery. Ms. Chamack sees Marinette running towards her.
Ms. Chamack: (on the phone) Oh, hold on. Here she comes now. It's fine, thanks.
(Scene: At the restaurant with Tom and Sabine)
Tom: It's all good.
(Scene: Bakery, Ms Chamack is leaving with a tall cake box with a pink ribbon)
Marinette: Sorry again for making you wait. (closes the door) Hahh...
Tikki: Mission accomplished.
Marinette: You mean Mission #1 accomplished, time for Mission #2!
[Transformation Sequence]
Marinette: Tikki, spots on! Yeah! (Marinette transforms into Ladybug)
"You just transformed in front of a massive window; how did no-one see you?" Plagg asked
"The street was empty." Tikki responds
Scene: Trocadéro. The Timebreakers are skating, and Ladybug and Cat Noir chase them.
Timebreaker 1: We've got enough speed. Let's go hardcore on Ladybug and Cat Noir!
Timebreaker 2: Once we get the energy from these two...
Timebreaker 1: We'll have enough to go back in time together.
Timebreaker 2: And get our watch!
"Quick run! They're coming to get you!" Kim yells
"They can't hear you." Alix responded in a deadpan tone
Cat Noir: I thought we were chasing them!
(The two Timebreakers are about to steal their energy, but a yo-yo stops them.)
Timebreakers: Hyaaahhh!
Ladybug 1: Hey, you two! Need a hand?
Ladybug 2: Thanks!
Cat Noir: Uh... uh?
"Dude, you look so confused." Nino says with a chuckled
"I was, one minute there was just one Ladybug, my Ladybug, then there were two ladybugs."
(Cat Noir is surprised because there are two Ladybugs)
Ladybug 1: They're insane on their rollerblades.
Ladybug 2: And unstoppable on the ground!
Ladybug 1: So, what if they were not on the ground?
(Cat Noir clasps his hands while he grins, and he is amazed to see two Ladybugs)
Cat Noir: Two Ladybugs? I'm in heaven!
I felt Mari shake and I heard a quiet chuckle, I smiled
"Are you feeling a little better now?" I whispered to her
"Yeah, a little bit, your heartbeat is grounding, can we stay like this? Until this episode is over?" She responded in a whisper
"Sure." She then shifted slightly so she could see the screen, but while still resting her ear against my chest
Timebreaker 1: Change of plan. We gotta go back in time now. There'll be less of them!
Timebreaker 2: I'm down.
Hawk Moth: Don't fail me this time!
(The Timebreakers skate away)
Ladybugs: They're planning to go back in time again! Lucky Charm! (A bicycle lock and a traffic cone appear) Any ideas?
"What could you do with them?" Sabrina asked
Cat Noir: While you two figure it out, I'll try to buy us some time.
(Ladybug's lucky vision detects an ice cream sign)
Ladybug 1: Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
Ladybug 2: Of course!
"Two brilliant minds at work." I say, I heard Mari giggle
"Shush you."
"I'm being serious My Lady."
Cat Noir: (hides behind a wall) Cataclysm! (he uses his Cataclysm to break the pillar)
Timebreakers: Huh? (They skate back, and see Ladybug)
Timebreaker 1: Let's freeze her on her way past!
(Ladybug uses the bicycle lock to tie the Timebreakers' legs, while the other Ladybug uses the traffic cone and the ice cream sign to make a ramp.)
Timebreakers: We're going too fast! We can't stop!
(The Timebreakers get launched by the ramp)
"That is very clever use of those objects." Max commented
Timebreakers: Waahhhhh!
Ladybug: Now!
(The two Ladybugs use their Yo-yos to catch the two Timebreakers, and two of their skates fall off)
Ladybugs: (break the skates; two akumas emerge) No more evil doing for you, little akuma. Time to de-evilize! (They catch the akuma.) Gotcha! (They release them.) Bye bye, little butterfly. Miraculous Ladybug! (Everything turns back to normal.) Pound it! (The two Ladybugs become one, the watch is fixed, and Timebreaker is turned back into Alix.)
"Where was my Pound it?" I pouted and Mari giggled and let go of my shirt to raise her hand and clench it into a fist, I chuckled and unwrapped one of my arms and bumped my fist with hers
"Pound it." She giggled, I chuckled, and we clasped each other's hands and dropped out hands into our lap
Alix: Huh?
Ladybug: Here. I think this is yours? (she gives Alix the watch)
Alix: Sweet! How did you fix it? Thank you! I should never have given it to someone else to look after. It was my responsibility. My bad.
Ladybug: Responsibility isn't something to be taken lightly. I should know.
Alix: You're totally right. I'll be more careful next time for sure. Thanks, Ladybug.
(Cat Noir likes the idea of having two Ladybugs around)
Cat Noir: I was just getting used to having two Ladybugs around.
Ladybug: But now, you're gonna get used to no Ladybugs around. Gotta split before I change back. (she swings away)
(Cat Noir is disappointed, but he hopes that Ladybug will love him just like he loves her)
Cat Noir: Ahhh... She'll fall for me someday. It's just a matter of time.
"And it did happen, just not the way I expected."
"Me either." Mari responded
Scene: Hawk Moth's lair.
Hawk Moth: You slipped by me this time, Ladybug and Cat Noir. But one day, past, present or future, you will be destroyed! And I'll have your Miraculouses! I will be UNSTOPPABLE! Mwahahaha!
"One day, we will get Nooroo back!" Plagg growled, Tikki placed a hand? Uh paw? On his shoulder
"We will, with every bit of help we can get." Tikki responded
"We'll help any way we can." Mari said and I nodded
(His window closes)
Scene: Bakery. Marinette's parents have arrived from their anniversary dinner.
Marinette: Huh? Hey! So, did you have a nice anniversary?
Tom: We sure did. Although, it was a close call.
Marinette: Huh? Oh, yeah! Hehehe. Ms. Chamack. I'm so sorry that I kept her waiting.
Sabine: Next time, please wait for the customer in the bakery and not in your room, listening to your loud music!
"Except you weren't listening to music." Mari giggled
"Nope, but I wasn't exactly going to tell my parents I was out fighting an akuma now was I?"
"Well, no, that's a good point."
Marinette: Got it. I promise I won't screw up next time.
Tom: Good, cause Mom's right. There's only one Marinette, and we're counting on her. (winks)
(Marinette and her parents share a big hug.)
THE NEXT EPISODE WILL BEGIN SHORTLY, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ENTER THE ROOM NEXT DOOR FOR REFRESHMENTS
"So, we get a break this time!" Kim yells, I chuckle and look down at Mari as she sits up still keeping my hands clasped in hers.
"Do you want to go next door?" she shook her head and watched as our classmates headed to the room next door.
"No thanks, I'd rather stay here." Mari responded
"Do you want us to bring you anything back?" Nino asked,
"A bottle of water please?" Mari asked and Nino nodded
"Adrien, do you want anything?" Alya asked
"A bottle of water for me too please." She nodded and they stood and headed for the room next door
"Do you mind if we go too? We're rather hungry." Tikki said, I shrugged
"You can go if you want, we're not going to stop you." Tikki flew over to Mari
"Are you alright? That must have been just awful to watch for a second time." Tikki said, Mari nodded
"Adrien helped to keep me grounded, made sure I didn't fall back into those memories." Mari responded, Tikki flew closer the hugged Mari's cheek, Mari paced a hand over Tikki to keep her close, while Plagg hovered closer to me
"That must have been tough to go through the first time, never mind a second time." Plagg muttered, I nodded
"I never knew, Ladybug didn't tell me what happened, it must have been the first time she came close to losing me."
"Hopefully, we'll keep our memories of this experience, we'll be better prepared for future Akuma's and not leave our lady's unprotected." Plagg said, I nodded
"Right." Then Tikki flew away from Mari and over to Plagg
"Shall we go for some food?" Tikki asked, Plagg nodded and they flew into the other room, I glance at Mari who was looking at me, I smiled at her and squeezed her hand
"Are you okay?" she nodded
"I'm glad you were here to help me through that episode, I don't think I would have been able to do this on my own." Mari responded, I nodded
"I'll always be with you My lady, and if I'm not by your side I'll never be far away." She smiled at me
"I know, that was just the first time I really came close to losing you, I'm actually glad for the time travel, I got you back."
"But your miraculous cure could have gotten me back too."
"I suppose so." I chuckled
