The scene opens to the Eiffel Tower, glittering in the night. Chat Noir is standing on the ground looking up. The white sheet is stilling hanging there, slowly dancing in the gentle wind. He looks around the area and then crawl up the tower, jumping from one bar to the other. He stops at the first floor and pull the white sheet up. There is a sudden sound of wind and he turns around. She has not changed since he last saw her. She is still wearing black dungarees and a green blouse. Her hair is tied up in a crooked ponytail, and her hands are covered with a dark clouds. Her lips are blood red but he only noticed that when she smiled.

Chat Noir: "What happened? You grew tired of your own games?"

Child Play: "Well, what is the fun in hiding if no one is seeking?

Chat Noir: "I never stopped looking for you"

Child Play: "Oh but you did, kitty. One day you woke up and thought how easier everything was without her, did you not?"

Chat Noir: "What are you talking about?"

Child Play: "Ladybug. After all she has no purpose anymore, does she? You are not fighting Akumas. You are fighting simple men and women of Paris. You can do that on our own and in your own way. Broken bones and a good beating to keep them straight, no?"

Chat Noir: "Just give me the miraculous, Child Play? I am not much of a chat cat.".

Child Play [laughing]: "Oh my! Always in a rush! Who littered a fire under your butt?"

Chat Noir: "You got what you wanted. I am here."

Child Play: "Now, who said that I wanted you?"

Chat Noir narrows his eyes at her as Child Play begins to circle around him.

Child Play: "Eeni meeni mini mo. You should have stayed at home. Haven't you heard about the curious cat? There is no satisfaction to bring it back. You have left it to the lady in red. Wouldn't you say so, Marinette?"

Chat Noir: "What?"

Child Play stops and looks into a dark corner of the tower with a smile and he follows her eyes. He notices the shadow that is moving on the ground.

Child Play: "All so predictable."

Chat Noir: "Marinette?"

Child Play [looking at her nail with disinterest]: "My, oh my. Wonder what she is doing here? I really do wonder",

Chat Noir looks at Child Play and then back at the shadow. It has disappeared.

Child Play: "Leaving already? But the game has only just begun."

With a snap Child Play calls on the blue monster and it runs after the missing shadow.

Chat Noir: "What are you doing? Leave her alone".

He runs after the monster but stops at the sight of it when blue slowly walks back with a girl in it's hands. She is struggling against the tight grip and trying to hide her face but Chat Noir can recognize her.

Child Play: "Seems familiar?"

Chat Noir turns around and look at Child Play.

Child Play: "I am sure she seems familiar on so many levels, no?"

Chat Noir: "Let her go!"

Child Play: "Very well"

Child Play snaps her fingers and the blue monster disappears. Marinette falls to the ground and Chat Noir runs toward her and helps her up on her feet.

Child Play: "It is odd how it is always the simplest of plans that works the best. All I had to do was dangle the miraculous in front of your face and you ran right into the trap. You seem to be more of a mouse than a bug if you ask me."

Marinette: "It is not what you think. I was looking for Ladybug."

Child Play: "Well, that is exactly what I thought."

Marinette [talking to Chat Noir]: "The city needs Ladybug. I thought she would be here tonight. I wanted to help!"

Chat Noir: "That is very dangerous!"

Child Play: "Oh come on! Open your eyes, cat! Everybody in this city wants Ladybug back but she is the only one showing up! Isn't it funny? When Ladybug is not around, Marinette is. Or maybe we should turn it around; When Ladybug is around, Marinette is not."

Chat Noir: "I have seen them next to each other. Marinette is not Ladybug. Let her go"

Child Play: "Oh wake up! Ladybug is not just a miraculous owner. She is a guardian too. She has everything she needs, just one charm away."

Chat Noir: "Zoeya, listen to me"

Child Play looks at Chat Noir, frozen.

Chat Noir: "You have been missing for months. Alya was the first one notice. Child Play appeared after the party. It all made sense. I have known who you were for months. I know I lashed out on you. I know this is my fault."

Child Play [huffs]: "My dear cat. You don't know anything. You don't know how tired I am. Or how sick I am of the same old lies, told through generations right before the whole world burns at our feet!"

Chat Noir: "Zoeya, we are all doing your best."

Child Play: "Our best? What exactly are we doing? What has changed? Racism, poverty, war, violence, death?"

Chat Noir: "If you begin to think like that, there will never be an end to it. We will be consume by the darkness of it."

Child Play: "I already have, and then it I realized: We live in a world with magic but we are looking at politicians for solutions. Greedy men who want to walk on a path of glory so they can be remembered for something."

Child Play takes out the Ladybug Miraculous from her pocket with smile: "But all it really take is one wish, isn't it?"

Chat Noir: "We have all been down this road before, Zoeya. It has never brought anything good with it."

Child Play: "Well, I wouldn't say that. You trapped Hawk Moth. He was a man who sought to use this power to bring back a loved one. And now, I am here with the power to much more."

Chat Noir: "You have the butterfly miraculous?"

Child Play: "Everything in due time. Right now I definitely have these Miraculous. All I am missing is a Ladybug?"

Chat Noir: "What do you want?"

Child Play: "Nothing"

Child Play throws the Miraculous on the floor in front of Chat Noir and Marinette. They stare at them for a minute and look up at Child Play but she has already disappeared.
