"Nadja Chamack, live above Paris. Escaped animals are invading the city! But Ladybug, Cat Noir and their new friend, Rena Rouge, are already on the spot." Suddenly, there was a loud popping sound. The camera turned to show Big-Head on a pile of animals, all knocked out with tranquilizer darts. Nadja groaned in dismay. "And of course, Big-Head shows up."

Kim and a girl from the swimming team, Ondine, watched the news from the TV as they donned their swim suits. "That Big-Head sure does know how to get the job done," said a lifeguard.

"Yeah, when he's not wrecking the place," said Kim. He sighed. "I wish I could be a superhero. The powers. The secrets. The costume. That would be awesome, right? Maybe then I could put that Big-Head creep in his place."

"I'm sure you could," said Ondine.

"How can I become one? You think there's some kind of superhero school, or something? Or maybe more like some super secret training facility?"

Ondine slipped a note into her diving bracelet. "You wanna know my secret?"

Kim smiled. He loved playing diving for treasure games with her. "Yeah, totally! I love this game." She tossed the bracelet into the water then he dove after it. He returned to land and popped it open and read the note inside. "'I have a serious crush on this boy, but he has no idea.' Ha! That boy is clueless." Ondine blushed. If only he knew. "Okay, now it's my turn."

Kim tossed a diving bracelet into the pool and Ondine dove after it. She returned to shore and read the note inside. "'I can stick my big toe inside my ear.' Huh?" Kim sat down and contorted his legs, stretching them out until he stuck his big toes into his ears. Ondine giggled. Then she wrote another note. "Let's stop beating around the bush," she said to herself.

She tossed another note into the water and he dove after it. He was about to open it and read it when suddenly his watch went off. "Ah! The movie! I totally forgot!"

"But we haven't finished yet!"

"I've really gotta split. I asked Chloé to come, remember? The girl I told you about in my class? Next time, I promise!" Kim ran for the locker rooms to change, leaving the Ondine behind.

She picked up the bracelet and popped it open, revealing a note that said, "Je t'aime." Next to it were hearts. "The boy I'm crushing on is...you." If only he knew.


The circular window to Hawk Moth's lair opened and butterflies swarmed around him. "Poor Little Mermaid. How many times have you tried to tell your Prince how you feel? And how many times has he dismissed you?" He grabbed one of the butterflies and changed it from white to purple. "Fly away, my little Akuma, and evilize her!"


After Big-Head finished literally tossing the animals back into their pens, he patted his hands and said, "Well, another job well done."

Rena Rouge looked miffed. "It's not fair! I didn't even get to use my powers yet."

"You'll get it next time," said Chat Noir. "Wait, where are you going?" he asked Ladybug as she took Rena Rouge by the arm.

"Rena has to transform back," she explained.

"So you're allowed to know her true identity, but I'm not?"

"Because I have to get her Miraculous back."

Chat Noir got irritated. "So what's my role, then? The guy who's always left in the dark? What else are you hiding from me?"

"Uh, guys," said Rena Rouge, hoping to stop the fight. "We really gotta jam."

Ladybug ignored her and said to Chat Noir, "Okay, I'll talk to him about it."

"'Him'? Who's 'him'?"

Ladybug hesitated. "Uh...when the time is right, Chat Noir, I promise." She grabbed Rena Rouge by the arm and swung away on her yo-yo.

Chat Noir kicked a pebble. "I hate secrets."

"Well, that's the problem with being a superhero," said Big-Head. "You can't trust anyone." He coughed a little before walking off. "Now if you'll excuse me, I'm getting a croissant."

Chat Noir remained where he was as the green headed loon sauntered off. "You can't trust anyone..."


Rena Rouge hid behind a dumpster and turned back into Alya before handing the Fox Miraculous to Ladybug. "We can do this again whenever you want, Lady—" Her phone suddenly went off. "Oh! The movie! Later!" She took off running.

Ladybug looked around, made sure no one was watching and said, "Tikki, SPOTS OFF!" She turned back into Marinette and took off running in the opposite direction. Tikki said, "Uh, if you want to get to that movie on time too, you better go the way Alya went."

"Sorry, Tikki; we'll just have to miss the trailers again." Master Fu had to know what was troubling Chat Noir.


Back at the swimming pool, Ondine was swimming laps to take her mind off her failed attempt to woo Kim, not noticing the butterfly swimming toward her. It absorbed itself into her diving bracelet and her face went blank as a baritone voice spoke in her mind, "Syren, I am Hawk Moth. I'm giving you the power to turn Paris into your own underwater kingdom, for you and your prince. In return, you must bring me Ladybug and Chat Noir's Miraculous and Big-Head's Mask of Loki."

"May they all sink under my sorrow!" Purple smoke enveloped her, transforming her into a red mermaid with white horns. Her tears dripped onto the ground, turning into flood waters.


Rudi met with Kim, Max and Markov at the movie theater. Max said, "You're both 3 minutes and 37 seconds late; everybody's already inside."

"I wanted a snack before I got here," said Rudi.

"But they have popcorn here."

"They don't sell croissants."

Kim looked around. "Is Chloé here?"

Max laughed. "Chloé watching Mecha Monkey vs. Cyber Shark 3? I think your swimming cap's on too tight, Kim." Kim looked up and realized he forgot to take his swimming cap off and stuffed it into his pocket.

Alya suddenly came running, stopping in front of them and began panting. "Ah, let me guess —" She took two tickets from Max. "Marinette hasn't arrived yet?"

"True to form. We'll save you both a seat." Max, Kim, Markov and Rudi went inside while Alya stayed behind. "Marinette, Marinette, Marinette." Always something with that girl.


Master Fu put the Fox Miraculous back into the Miracle Box and placed it into the secret compartment in the gramophone player. "Perfect. Now come and tell me what's bothering you, Marinette."

"Huh? How do you...?"

He made a knowing chuckle. He walked into the kitchen with Marinette following him. Before Wayzz and Tikki could follow them, Master Fu blocked them with a finger. "Hold on. You both stay here."

The little kwamis pleaded, "Oh, Master, please!"

"Kwamis must never know the recipe that can modify their powers. Ever!"

Marinette raised an eyebrow. "Modify their powers?"

"Imagine what would happen if one of you were captured by a villain, just like Hawk Moth's kwami, Nooroo. Or worse, if Big-Head figured it out." This spooked the two kwamis into hiding under Fu's bed.


"So, what's on your mind, Marinette?" Master Fu asked as he prepared some tea for his guest.

"Master Fu, Chat Noir is asking more and more questions. He's tired of being left in the dark."

He handed her her tea as he said, "Tell me, Marinette; do you put the noodles in the water before the water boils?"

"Uh, no."

"Exactly. That's because there's a right time for everything."

As Marinette sat down and drank her tea, she noticed the counter had all kinds of strange ingredients and a pot sitting on it. "Uh, what are you cooking exactly?"

"When fed with a specific blend of ingredients, the kwamis can grant special power," Master Fu explained as he prepared the potion. "Each power's specific mix is listed here, encoded in the Grimoire. I've deciphered most of the ingredients; for example, to trigger aquatic powers you need a branch from the dragon king's garden — that's seaweed; then secret kept in a shell — that's an oyster pearl. But the last one still puzzles me: a tear of joy. I can't figure it out, and it's required for almost every blend. Oh! Maybe it could be some dancing ant honeydew."

He dropped the honeydew into the potion, creating a small explosion. "I think I may have finally got the right mix."


Meanwhile, Adrien was lying on his couch, playing with Ladybug and Chat Noir action figures. "'Hey, Chat Noir, do you trust me?' 'Sure, Ladybug; do you trust me, too?' 'Are you kidding? I will never trust you! Ha ha ha ha!'" Then he picked up a Big-Head action figure. "'You see? You can't trust anyone!'" He groaned and threw the toy away. "Oh, what do you know?" He turned to his kwami and said, "You must know what Ladybug's hiding from me, Plagg."

"I'm just a kwami, Adrien, and we kwamis have a right to remain silent." He went back to eating his cheese.

Adrien smirked as he took out his phone. "Pity. Just when I was about to order you some very tasty cheese. Have you ever sampled La Trappe d'Échourgnac?" Plagg's ears twitched. "It says here it tastes like walnuts."

"I can't be swayed, sorry."

"Did you know about the Fourme de Montbrison? Apparently, it's the oldest cheese in the world."

Plagg's lips started to drool. He could practically taste it. "You don't say."

"Yes...and do you know why its rind is orange? Because they age it on special boards of spruce wood."

The little kwami couldn't take it anymore. "There's only one thing in this world that smells as good as cheese!" He flew into the bathroom and into the laundry pile. He grabbed one of Adrien's dirty socks and sniffed it, sighing with relief.

Then Adrien called out, "Which one do you prefer, the Tomme de Bouche, or the Saintignon?" Plagg let out a scream and buried his head in the laundry, sobbing over-dramatically.


Back at the massage parlor, Master Fu fed the potion to Wayzz. "Mmmm, there's a slight flavor to it. Yes, I remember it being a lot like this."

Fu nodded. "Ha! I knew it. Wayzz, POWER UP!"

Nothing happened. "A little more salt, maybe?"

Fu face palmed. "Oh, failed again."

Marinette's phone started to ring. She answered it, "Hey Alya...yeah, what's up? The movie? Oh, uh, of course I didn't forget. I'm almost there." She took off running out the door with Tikki following her. "Sorry, Master. Good luck finding the secret ingredient."


"Coming!" Marinette skidded to a halt in front of Alya. "Sorry, I was—"

Alya grabbed her by the hand and dragged her into the theater. "No time to explain. Come on!"

The girls ran into the movie theater and took their seats. Their friends waved hi to them. Except Rudi who said, "We're going to have to put our whole lives on pause if we have to wait for you, Marinette."

"Sorry. I lose track of time," she said.

The movie started to play. Suddenly, people in the frontmost row got up and ran out, followed by people in rows further back doing the same. The kids looked down to see water slowly rising up to their ankles. "Whoa, they're really going out with the 3D effects," said Rudi.

"I don't think these are effects," said Alya. "It looks like someone either left the water on or clogged up a toilet!"

Suddenly, water burst in through the doors, flooding the room. "Quick, the stairs!" Marinette led her friends up the stairs to the roof. They gasped as they saw the streets of Paris being flooded with rising water.


Poor Plagg plugged his ears in and chanted, "La, la, la, la, la, la!" as Adrien went on, "Tome de Quraish with truffles; raw milk Camembert, aged on vine leaves marinated in Emmental juice." He stopped when he felt himself ankle deep in water.

Plagg exhaled in relief. Saved by the disaster. "Looks like your whole cheese strategy will have to tread water."

Adrien said tersely, "Don't worry, this isn't over. Plagg, CLAWS OUT!" Plagg was sucked into the ring and in a flash of green and black, Adrien turned into Chat Noir.


Markov shivered as he and the kids watched the streets continued to fill with water. "My circuits are sensitive to water."

Kim saw this as an opportunity to show off his swimming prowess as he tore off his clothes, put on his swimming trunks and cap and dove into the water. "Come on, guys! I can teach you to swim in two seconds flat, Markov. You just put your arms like this, then you push your legs, and it's kind of like being a frog, you see. In fact, it helps to think as a frog, too, you know—" Something pulled him under.

"Kim!" the others shouted. They ran to the edge and looked around. Alya asked, "Where is he? Can you see him?" Then she saw something odd: Marinette paddling away on a trash bin. "Marinette, what are you doing?"

"Um, I'm gonna go get help." Marinette suddenly tipped over. She scrambled back on. "I'm fine!"

Alix rolled her eyes. "Okay so...I guess we're saved, then?"

Suddenly, the kids heard another splash. They turned and saw Rudi missing. "Rudi?"

"Oh, no!" Rose exclaimed. "Something got Rudi too!"

Marinette swam around a corner and made sure no one could see her. "Okay. We're alone. Tikki, SPOTS ON!" Tikki was sucked into the earrings and in a flash of red and black, Marinette turned into Ladybug. She dove under the water and swam around, looking for Kim's kidnapper. A couple of fish swam by her, to her surprise. A while later, a catfish tried to bite her but she managed to dodge it. Then she saw what she was looking for.


Down below the water, Kim found himself in the arms of a red mermaid. "Kim! I found you at last." She blew an air bubble over his head, enabling him to breathe underwater.

"Huh! This is amazing! I can breathe underwater, just like a fish."

Syren smiled. "I knew you'd love it, and I've got lots of other surprises for you, you'll see—" Suddenly, Ladybug appeared and pulled Kim out of her arms with her yo-yo. "My prince!" Syren swam up to Kim and grabbed him by the leg. Ladybug, still holding on, grabbed hold of a window railing to stop them. It was at that moment she started to feel the need for air.

Syren heard Hawk Moth snicker in her head. "With every new environment comes a new set of rules, Ladybug, you won't be able to win this time. Ladybugs can't breathe underwater. Syren, are you going to let Ladybug steal your prince away from you?"

"NEVER!"


Chat Noir was leaping across the roofs with his staff until he saw Ladybug being launched out of the water. "Ladybug?!" He used his staff to launch himself up into the air and caught her. They both landed on another rooftop. "You didn't tell me you were going swimming today."

Ladybug set herself down and coughed up some water. "I wasn't planning on it; ladybugs aren't exactly cut out for deep-sea diving, you know."

"Cats aren't exactly crazy about water either, you know. Is there any chance you can get us a submarine?"

"Pawssibly, kitty cat."

"Don't bother," a voice called out. "I got you covered!" The heroes turned to see Big-Head on a fishing boat. "What do you think? Can you believe I just found this thing by sheer luck?"

When Ladybug saw the harpoon gun attached to the front of the boat, she knew at once what he was planning. "No! You can't hurt her!"

"Sorry, can't hear you!" Big-Head shouted as he turned on the boat and zoomed away before either Ladybug or Chat Noir could stop him.

"This is bad," Ladybug said. "If Big-Head gets to her, she'll be hooked!"

"What are you waiting for, then," asked Chat Noir. "Turn on the charm!"

"I will. Just not that way. LUCKY CHARM!" Ladybug twirled her yo-yo in the air, its magic creating...a bowl.

"Huh. Well, we can always use it to scoop up the water. It'll just take a long time."

Ladybug realized what the bowl meant though. "I'll be right back." She was about to take off when Chat Noir grabbed her wrist.

"Wait! Where are you going?"

"I'm sorry. I can't-"

"Say anything," Chat Noir finished bitterly. "Yeah, I know. But we are a team, aren't we?" He turned away from her. "I'm tired of all these secrets."

"I'm sorry. It's not exactly easy for me either, trust me."

"No. Big-Head was right. You can't trust anyone with secrets when you're a superhero. Even your own partner."

Ladybug frowned sadly before she took off.


Ladybug landed on the roof of the massage parlor and turned back into Marinette. "Master Fu? Master?"

"This way!" Master Fu had already set up a potion mixing table.

"Chat Noir and I can't defeat the mermaid underwater."

"I know, and unfortunately I haven't found the correct blend that could help you both out. I've failed you."

Marinette wasn't about to give up. "No way! We are gonna find that last ingredient!" She pointed to the last instruction in the Grimoire.

"The Tear of Joy? I've tried everything: water from the Laughing Fountain, melted snow from the Mountain of Jubilation, drops of pure chocolate extract."

Marinette thought it over then snapped her finger. "But have you tried a real tear of joy?"

Master Fu gave her a confused look. "What?"

"Come on, tell me a really, really funny joke!"

"Do you think this is really the time to have fun?"

"Okay, why do you go to bed at night?"

"I don't know, uh..."

"Because the bed won't come to you!" Despite it being a pretty lame joke, Master Fu couldn't help but laugh a little. Marinette continued, "What goes up and down, but doesn't move? Stairs!" Fu laughed louder. "What does a snail say when it's riding on a turtle's back? WOOOHOOO!" Finally, Master Fu burst out laughing, shedding a tear. Marinette caught the tear in the potion bowl and it produced a skyward blast.

Master Fu composed himself as he said with excitement, "I think you have just found the magic ingredient, Marinette!"

He fed Tikki a spoonful of potion and she licked her lips. "Mmm. Yummy!"

Marinette gave the command, "Tikki, POWER UP!"

In a flash of blue light, Tikki transformed. Her wings were replaced with fins and her legs became a fish tail. "Aqua Tikki," she cheered.

"Aqua Tikki, SPOTS ON!" Tikki was sucked into the earrings and in a flash of red and black, Marinette turned into a more aquatic version of Ladybug, complete with with a scaly costume, large blue ponytails with purple ribbons, finny arms and feet, and a "beltbuckle" device. Ladybug checked herself over. Then she remembered Chat Noir. "Master Fu, I think it's time you put those noodles into the boiling water."

Master Fu nodded, understanding. "You're right, Ladybug. I'll take care of it."


Meanwhile back on the rooftop, Chat Noir had had enough. Enough of the waiting around and enough of the secrets. "This is so dumb. Plagg, CLAWS IN!" He turned back into Adrien and Plagg flew around him, feeling just as impatient as he was. "What's taking her so long?" Then suddenly, Adrien started to take off his ring but Plagg stopped him. "Whoa, easy! W-What are you doing?!"

Adrien said grimly, "If you don't tell me what Ladybug is hiding from me, I'm done!"

"You can't do that!"

"Why not? No one'll know if I quit. No one'll care!"

"I will!"

The boy gave the little kwami a cynical look. "Why? Because you won't have anyone to give you Camembert?"

Plagg flew up to him and hugged his chest. "Oh, I'm sure there'll be another Chat Noir to give me cheese...but he won't be you." Hearing this, Adrien's expression softened and he put the ring back on.

"Hello, Chat Noir." Adrien spun around and saw a little old man of Asian descent wearing a red and white Hawaiian t-shirt. Where did he come from? But as he looked at the old man, he realized he had met him before, on his first day of school. He helped him cross the street when no one else did. "You! You're the man who—"

Master Fu gave him the potion. "I'll explain everything, I promise. But right now, you must go and help Ladybug!"

Plagg groaned in annoyance. "Oh, no! I hate transforming."


Syren brought Kim to the swimming pool, only now it looked like it an underwater throne room with the lifeguard tower becoming an ornate throne made from sea shells and kelp. The throne was encased in a bubble that enabled Kim, its occupant, to breath air. "I love what you've done with the pool! It's awesome!" Well, he had to admit it, it was pretty impressive.

"This is the pool where the old me tried to pour her heart out to you so many times," Syren said with hearts in her eyes.

"But, uh...I've never seen a Syren at the pool." Syren held up her wrist, showing her diving bracelet. "Ondine?!"

"I'm your Syren now. And you could be my merman." She reached into the bubble, grabbing onto his hands. "It only needs a kiss, and you'll become just like me!"

"You mean I could swim as fast as you?"

"Yes, Kim! You'll be my prince, and we'll rule this underwater city together, forever!"

The two of them were about to kiss when a thought crossed Kim's mind. "Wait! Does this mean I never get to see Mecha Monkeys vs. Cyber Sharks 3?"

Syren was taken aback. "What?!" Suddenly, she felt an extreme pain in her arm. She looked down to see a harpoon sticking through her bicep.

"Man, you really know how to charm the ladies," a voice said sarcastically. Kim and Syren looked up to see Big-Head wearing a diving suit and armed with a harpoon gun.

Syren immediately became afraid. "Big-Head! No!" She took off swimming, but Big-Head somehow managed to catch up to her and fire another harpoon into her back. "AUGH!"

"Don't hurt her," Kim shouted.

"I ain't gonna hurt her," Big-Head assured as he began to reel the mermaid in. "I'M GONNA MAKE IKIZUKURI OUT OF HER!" He laughed maniacally as he began to reel her in.

Syren tried to free herself, but it was no good. "He's going to kill me! Help me, Hawk Moth!"

"Just think of your anger, Syren," Hawk Moth's voice said in her mind. "Think about what will happen to your prince once you're dead."

In that instant, fear was replaced with hate and rage. "I won't...LET YOU HURT MY PRINCE!" Syren's voice turned into a roar as black smoke enveloped her. Big-Head's jaw dropped as the mermaid began to change and grow in size.

At that moment, Ladybug and Chat Noir (who was now in an aquatic version of his costume) entered the pool and saw they were too late. "Oh, great," said Chat Noir. "We got a Megakuma on our hands now!"

"Megakuma?" Big-Head asked, raising his eyebrow. "Okay, I am SO not getting used to that."

"Doesn't matter," said Ladybug. She popped the bubble, turned her yo-yo into an oxygen mask and gave it to Kim. "Here, put this on." He quickly put it on before he could run out of air.

Meanwhile, Syren finished transforming and let out a roar as the black smoke disappeared and revealed her new form: a sea serpent with a monstrous parody of Ondine's face. Hawk Moth's voice rang in her mind, "I knew those Miraculous had hidden powers! Syren! There's too many fish in this sea. Take their Miraculous and the Mask of Loki before they take your merman away in their net!"

Syren let out another roar and chased after the heroes who quickly swam up to the surface. They jumped up from the water and into Big-Head's fishing boat. "You're gonna need a bigger boat," he groaned.

Kim was the first to get up and he whistled an impressed whistle at Ladybug and Chat Noir's new costumes. "Your new outfits are so cool!"

"Oh, um, thanks," Ladybug said. "But tell me, what happened to your friend that got her so worked up?"

"We were playing a game of secrets, and I think she was trying to tell me that I'm the boy she likes. But, I was a doofus and didn't realize."

"Game of secrets? What kind?"

"It's a game Ondine invented. You write down a secret and put it inside the bracelet's capsule. It's awesome! You wanna know my secret?"

"Whatever it is, the answer is no," said Big-Head. Then he tapped his chin and said, "Come to think of it, I did see Syren wearing a diving bracelet on her right hand. Perhaps she's still wearing it even after becoming a sea monster."

"That's where the Akuma must be! AQUA LUCKY CHARM!" She twirled the yo-yo in the air and its magic created...probably the last thing she wanted to use. "A harpoon?! No, this is wrong! Why did it become this?!" It got worse when her Lucky Vision highlighted Big-Head. And only Big-Head. "This is wrong!"

"What?" he asked.

Ladybug handed him the harpoon. "Whatever you plan, please don't kill her."

He looked at it in confusion before shrugging his shoulders. "Okay." He looked the harpoon over and cartoon thought bubbles appeared over his head. A cartoon stick figure of Chat Noir appeared and did cataclysm on the street, draining the water. Then a stick figure of Big-Head appeared and jammed the harpoon into a doodle Syren's mouth, forcing it open and allowing a Ladybug stick figure to break the bracelet and releasing the Akuma. "How about that," he asked as the bubble popped.

"That's...actually not a bad idea," said Chat Noir.

Suddenly, Syen burst out of the water and roared before slamming her tail onto the boat, smashing it to pieces. The heroes and Kim fell into the water and the serpent swam toward the poor boy. Despite his swimming abilities, he couldn't escape from her. Then suddenly, Big-Head appeared and slashed the harpoon across her cheek, making her bellow in pain.

"Hurry, Chat Noir," Ladybug called.

"On it. CATACLYSM!" Black smoke enveloped from Chat Noir's ring, then he swam down and placed his hand on the ground, causing a huge hole to appear. All the water suddenly got sucked down, taking Syren down with it. Her large body plugged up the hole and as she struggled to get out, Big-Head jammed the harpoon into his mouth. "All according to plan. Now, Ladybug!"

Ladybug ran up to Syren's left fin and snapped the bracelet, releasing the butterfly. "No more evildoing for you, little Akuma. Time to de-evilize!" She caught the butterfly with her yo-yo and purified it. "Gotcha!" Then she released it. "Bye-bye, little butterfly." Then she tossed the harpoon into the air and shouted, "MIRACULOUS LADYBUG!" The wave of black and red spots undid all the battle damage and receded all the flood waters.

Syren turned back into Ondine and looked around, confused.

Chat Noir smiled at Ladybug. "Thank you for keeping your promise, M'Lady."

"We are a team, aren't we?"

The two fist bumped. "Pound it!" Then a third fist bumped them. Chat Noir and Ladybug glanced at Big-Head. "What?" he asked. "I felt left out."


Apparently, Master Fu was busy while Ladybug, Chat Noir and Big-Head were fighting Syren. He managed to produce seven potions with the following colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and purple. "Each blend corresponds to a new power." He handed Marinette a description of the potions.

Marinette scanned the paper and said, "Wow! That's a lot of powers!"

"You should keep these vials with you at all times, just in case."

Marinette looked unsure about that. "Well...that's not very practical."

"Only the ingredients matter. They could be contained in anything."

She thought on it. "Then...I may just have an idea!"


Marinette's plan began and finished when she got home: bake macaroons with the potions added to them. In total, she baked twenty-one of them, three each of the seven potion colors, arranged in rows by color. Tom smelled them and couldn't be more proud of his daughter. "My little girl's mini-'macaroons' are ready. Mmm! They look so good!"

Marinette yanked them away from him before he could eat one. "Uh, actually, I'll taste them first and see if they are good."

Tom smiled as she ran up to her room. "My daughter baked them! They're bound to be great!"


Tikki was quick to deem them delicious when she tried one. "Mmm! Magical 'macaroons'! I love your idea, Marinette!"

"One 'magic-aroon', one transformation."

"The blue one looks yummy!"

"You'll see." She whispered to her kwami, "I've been told it's icy!"


Back at the pool, Kim had to do one little favor. He met with Ondine and handed her a diving bracelet. "Wanna play a game of secrets?" He didn't even toss it into the pool, he just popped it open.

Ondine read it, "'Wanna go to the movies with me?'" She smiled at him and he smiled back.


At the Agreste Mansion, the doorbell rang and the security camera popped out. "Who is it?" Gabriel asked through the speaker impatiently.

"Over here!" The camera turned left. "Down here!" The camera looked down and there stood a little Asian man wearing a red and white Hawaiian t-shirt and carrying a cookie box. "Hello, I'm Mr. Chan. Adrien's Chinese tutor could not come today. I'll be replacing him."

There was a pause, then the gates slowly opened.


In Adrien's room, the boy was learning Chinese with his translator app. "What time is it? Xiànzài jí diǎn le? 现在几点了?"

Adrien repeated what the app said. At that moment, Nathalie walked into the door with Master Fu, who responded, "Shí jiān dào le. 时间到了. It's the right time."

"Adrien, here's Mr. Chan. He'll be your substitute teacher for today," Nathalie said before she left to leave the two alone.

Master Fu said, "Hello, Adrien. I think you and I should have a little talk."

Plagg popped out from his hiding spot and introduced the old man to the boy, "Adrien, meet Master Fu, the last Guardian of the Miraculous."


Gabriel was in his lair, unaware of what was going on in his son's room. "Nooroo! How can I obtain more powers?"

The little kwami meekly asked, "What do you mean, Master?"

"Don't treat me like an idiot! Ladybug and Chat Noir have new powers. How did they do it?"

"We kwamis do not know the recipes," Nooroo insisted.

Gabriel shoved the Grimoire he was carrying in the little kwami's face and said impatiently, "It's inside this Grimoire, isn't it? Can't you read it?"

"Only Guardians can. I don't know anything, I swear!"

"Well then, I will have to find this Guardian of the Miraculous, wherever he is." If only Gabriel knew. Good thing he didn't.


After explaining everything, Master Fu handed the box to Adrien. He opened it to find seven wedges of cheese with seven different colors. Plagg only groaned in disappointment. "Oh, no! I hate transforming."
