Another day at school. Another day of Chloe showing herself off. The kids were supposed to a project on a person from French history they admire the most and Chloe...chose herself. Or rather, Queen Bee. The projector played a video of Chloe dressed in a handmade Queen Bee suit, being interviewed. "Welcome to my secret lair. I may be a superhero, but I'm always happy to share my thrilling life with all my fans. Like today, my dear friend Ladybug showed up to ask me for advice."

The video cut to Chloe, this time wearing her Ladybug costume. "I admire Queen Bee so much. She showed me what being a superhero is all about and always fixes the messes Chat Noir and I get ourselves into."

"Oh, please. You would do the same for me."

"Come on! Like you would ever cause a mess."

"You're right."

Ivan was quick to point out the obvious. "That's not Ladybug, that's you, Chloé!" The entire classroom laughed.

Chloe quickly tried to save face. "Of course that's the real Ladybug!" Marinette face palmed.

Miss Bustier said, "But Chloé, could you tell me why you chose to do an assignment about yourself? Uh— I mean: about Queen Bee?"

"Well, our assignment was to choose an important person in French history and I actually saved France. Even Ladybug says so…"

On the video, Chloe in Ladybug's costume said, "Queen Bee really makes us stronger, she is truly Miraculous!"

Alya groaned and said, "Chloé, it's so obvious that's you dressed up as Ladybug. You didn't even bother to match her hair color."

Chloe tugged on her own blonde hair and stammered, "Uh… she… just… dyed her hair blonde to look like me." Everyone just laughed in response. Everyone except Adrien, who just gave her a look of pity. Chloe glared at them. "Ugh, you're all a bunch of losers! Except you, Adrikins. None of you deserve to see the rest of my documentary."

"Oh, what a shame." Marinette hadn't meant to say that sarcastic remark out loud and when she realized it, it was too late. Everyone in the classroom laughed even harder. Even Sabrina was laughing. Chloe rounded up on her, "I saw you laughing with the other idiots; you're fired!"

Sabrina sobbed loudly. "I betrayed my best friend!"

"How could you not laugh, Sabrina? The whole superhero sitch has totally gone to her head," Alya said as she showed everyone the footage of Queen Bee "defeating" Big-Head. "And she didn't even consider that she might have hurt others while she fought him!"

Alix agreed with her, "She had superpowers for like five minutes and went totally outta control!"

"We might not 'deserve' to see your documentary," said Marinette. "But you don't deserve to be called a superhero!"

Chloe's face went red. "You will pay for your insulting remarks, Dupain-Cheng!"

"Who gives a damn what you think, you spoiled bitch!" Chloe made a gasp. "And I'm not being derogative either. You're literally a bitch! A female dog! Woof-woof!"

Chloe stomped out of her chair and toward the door. Miss Bustier tried to stop her, "Chloe, class is not over yet!"

"You're all ridiculous. Utterly riii-diculous." The entitled girl left the classroom, slamming the door behind her.

Alya scoffed. "Ugh— seriously? She'll never change."


At the Hôtel de Ville, Mayor Bourgeois was marrying a couple. "By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife."

Suddenly, his own wife and daughter burst into the room. Audrey snapped at the couple, "Oh, good. You're married. Now get out!" She shoved the couple, the families, the bridesmaids, the best man and the ring bearer out the door and slammed it.

Mayor Bourgeois asked with fear, "What in the world is going on, my sweetie pie?"

"I demand that you close the school down for good," shouted Audrey.

"And I want you to banish Marinette Dupain-Cheng and Rudolf Schaefer from Paris," Chloe said, mimicking her mother's tone of voice.

"Those monsters hurt your little girl's feelings."

"She got the whole class to gang up on me. And he had the nerve to call me a dog! They all have to pay."

The poor man stammered, "But I just can't! I mean… I could close the school for a few days… a week at most."

Audrey slammed her hand on his desk. "THAT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH!"

Chloe mimicked her mother. "I WANT IT SHUT DOWN FOREVER!"

"But that's impossible! I love you, Chloé, but you're asking too much of me this time. I'm only the mayor."

"Precisely!" Chloe tugged on her father's sash. "What's the use of this stupid sash you're wearing if you can't actually use power? This is ridiculous!"

Both Bourgeois women shouted, "UTTERLY RIDICULOUS!"

The mayor tired to make a compromise, "You've always been too good for your classmates. Maybe you should switch schools?"

"Change schools? Ugh— forget it! We need to change cities, that's what. We'll go to New York!"

"But, wait!"


The mayor was still pleading with his family not to leave, even as they returned to the Grand Paris to pack their things. "Don't forget my Tourbillon stilettos, Jean-Marc," ordered Chloe.

"Of course, Miss," said the butler.

"Oh, and Walter?" The giant didn't really listen as he played the knife game with himself. "Since I'm not going to be here anymore, I have one thing to say. You're a scary, rude, ugly creature a mother wouldn't even love!" Walter stabbed himself in the hand. Chloe let out a terrified squeal. "I mean..." She handed him a wad of cash. "Here's your pay. Goodbye!"

The mayor said desperately, "I can't be the mayor of Paris if we're living in New York. It's… too far! Why don't we go and live closer in Versailles, instead?"

Chloe made an annoyed sound, "Well, it won't make the slightest bit of difference since you're so powerless, anyway!"

Audrey said, "Not only are you incapable of solving a simple problem for your daughter, you're also refusing to come with us?"

"No! Not at all. I… I… Ah. Look at this, my sweetie. It's for you." Andre held up a bejeweled phone case before his Chloe, who asked, "What is it? It's tiny!"

"Yes, but very expensive! It's a diamond-encrusted phone case. Are you sure you don't want to stay after all?"

Chloe slapped it out of his hand. "I don't want that thing! What kind of daddy are you if you can't even give me what I want?"

The poor mayor could only whimper, "But… what more can I do?"


The circular window of Hawk Moth's lair opened and butterflies swarmed around him. "A man of power feeling helpless as a father. I sense very strong negative emotions from him." He grabbed one of the butterflies and turned it from white to purple. "Fly away, my little akuma, and evilize him!"


Poor Andre could only wail in despair as he watched his wife and daughter enter the helicopter and take off. He didn't even notice the butterfly absorbing itself into his sash. His face went blank as a baritone voice spoke in his head, "Malediktator, I am Hawk Moth. Your wife and daughter think you're weak and useless? Well, I shall give you absolute power. Anything you declare will happen!"

He made a smirk as he said, "By the power vested in me, I shall prevail as Malediktator!" Black smoke enveloped him. When it disappeared, he was now wearing a military uniform and bicorn hat with the colors of the French flag.


At school, the kids were enjoying their lunch in the courtyard when suddenly, they heard the sound of propellers approaching. They looked up to see a helicopter and Chloe was leaning out the window with a bullhorn. "Hey there, losers! I'm headed to New York with my mom. I'm leaving you all behind in your pathetic little school and your pathetic little city. Adieu!"

"Oh, yeah? WELL GOOD RIDDANCE, YOU BITCH!"

Hearing Rudi's curse, Chloe made an offended noise and yelled at the pilot to step on it.

There was a moment of silence. "Chloé's leaving?" the students asked, the whole situation starting to sink in. "Forever? Looks like it."

"PAAAARTYYYY!" Rudi shouted with delight.

Music started playing, everyone began to dance and confetti fell from above.

"Without Chloé around, Paris will be filled with a lot less negative emotion," said Marinette.

"And less akumatizations," Tikki said as she hid in her purse.

At that moment, Adrien came out of the bathroom and looked at the party, confused as to what was going on. "Hey, what's going on here? What are we celebrating?"

"Chloé's gone! She's moving to New York!"

Hearing Marinette, Adrien was shocked. "Chloé left…? For good?"

"I know, isn't it great?"

Adrien's response was not what she expected. "Uh… no. I think it's terrible! How can you celebrate a thing like that?"

Marinette shook her head. "But, Chloé's a total brat to everyone. She was useless anyway."

"Nobody's useless, not even Chloé. When I was little and wasn't allowed out, she was the only friend I had."

Oh. Now she felt bad. "Ow— well, uh… shoot."

"She left angry and unhappy. I can't celebrate that."

Adrien sadly left. Marinette could do nothing except say, "I'm really sorry, Adrien."

"Who wants to take a whack at the Chloe piñata?" Rudi called out. Marinette looked to see the kids breaking apart a life-sized papier-mâché Chloe. When the head flew off, she winced.

"This is so wrong."


As the helicopter soared across the sky, Malediktator spoke with authority, "By the power vested in me, I order you to land!" A ball of light shot out of his right index and middle finger and flew into the helicopter's pilot. He suddenly had the urge to land and land he did.

Audrey was not pleased with the early landing. "This is not the airport. What is the meaning of this?"

Malediktator approached the helicopter and said, "Chloé, my daughter, you are not leaving for New York."

Chloe was shocked to see her father. "D-Daddy?"

"You see, I have the power to shut down the school and banish all those nasty students who were mean to you. Come with me!"

But Chloe looked unsure and stammered, "Really? But that's… excellent?" Yeah, this didn't feel right.

Audrey snapped at her akumatized husband, "André, getting yourself akumatized like everybody else in this town does not make you a cool or hip father. In fact—"

Annoyed, Malediktator shot an orb into her and commanded, "By the power vested in me, I declare that you will be devoted to this family and remain in Paris with me and Chloé."

In an instant, she fell head over heels over him and smooched him. "Oh yes, my dear hubby. I'm so happy to stay here!"

Chloe gagged. "Ew! Just when I thought things were working out. Ugh! How would Ladybug get out of this ridiculous situation?" She snuck out of the helicopter and quietly hid at a Metro's entrance. "Well done, Chloé, now you just have to—" She suddenly smelled something fowl and plugged her nose. "Ew! What a stench! Come on, you're a hero!" She descended the stairs, still plugging her nose. "You… can… do… this."

It was at this point Malediktator looked for his daughter. "Chloé, sweetie, why don't you come—" Only to realize she was gone. "Huh? Where did she go?!"

Audrey wrapped her arms around him. "Don't worry, I'm sure we'll find her."

Hawk Moth spoke in his mind, "Malediktator, if you want to find your daughter, you must first cause chaos in Paris. Start with the school. She'll come back of her own accord."

Malediktator agreed with him, "Good idea! Let's go show those little savages what they get for showing my daughter such disrespect."


Rudi noticed there were only two people not enjoying the party: Marinette and Adrien. Since Alya was busy with her, he decided to talk to Adrien. "What's wrong?"

"I can't enjoy this party knowing Chloe left."

"Adrien, I know she used to be your friend and all but...WHO CARES?! Look around you! We're all better off without that banshee causing a majority of the akumatizations in Paris! People like that bitch never change!"

"You don't know that! You didn't even consider giving her a chance!"

"Why should I after everything she's done?"

Suddenly, everyone heard a helicopter approach. Did Chloe forget something? But instead of Chloe, Malediktator leaned out the window and shouted, "By the powers vested in me, I declare this school a demolition site!" He shot balls of light out of his fingers and they absorbed themselves into almost all the students and teachers. In an instant, they went from partying to trying to literally bring the house down. "Right! Now, where are Marinette Dupain-Cheng and Rudolf Schaefer? I've got a special declaration just for them."

Rudi hid behind a pillar and pulled out the Mask. "Looks like the mayor decided to grow a pair in the end. Well, time to cut him down to size. It's show time!"


Malediktator landed in the middle of the courtyard and demanded, "Where are Marinette and Rudolf?"

At that moment, Chat Noir appeared and jumped onto the helicopter's motors. "Hey, you! Do you have a demolition permit for this school?"

"I don't need a permit. I am Malediktator, the all-powerful supermayor of Paris, and this is my city."

Ladybug landed next to Chat Noir. "Paris is our city! It belongs to everyone."

Ladybug engaged in battle, landing right in front of Malediktator with her yo-yo. He tried to punch her but she dodged. Chat Noir hit him on the head with his staff, Malediktator tried to counter, but was too slow. Chat Noir dodged his punch and Ladybug wrapped her yo-yo around his wrist. From the other side, Chat Noir attacked but had to stay back to avoid Malediktator's advances. Malediktator eventually succeeded in grabbing Chat Noir's staff and threw him away, though Chat Noir landed skillfully on his hands and then his feet. Malediktator grabbed a wooden bench to try and smash Ladybug, who dodged but had to release her hold on Malediktator's wrist.

"By the power vested in me, I declare that your Miraculous are my property!"

Malediktator fired the balls of light at the two, but they dodged and summersaulted onto the roof. "It's time we impeach him and declare him powerless," said Chat Noir.

"The akuma has to be in his sash," said Ladybug. "LUCKY CHARM!" She twirled her yo-yo in the air and its magic created... "An abacus?"

"While you figure that out, I'll take care of Malediktator."

"Chat Noir, wait!"

Leaping down, Chat Noir was about to use Cataclysm when Malediktator flicked a ball of light at him and commanded, "By the power vested in me, I declare that you are a cat!"

Chat Noir suddenly fell on all fours and began meowing. Ladybug was horrified. At that moment, Big-Head arrived and stood next to Ladybug. "Gotta say, it's kind of an improvement," he said. He noticed the abacus and played around with it. "You know how to use this thing?"

"Give me that back!" Ladybug snatched it out of his hands.

Mrs. Bourgeois stepped out of the helicopter and cooed and gently scratched Chat Noir's ears. "Oh, what a cutie pie! Kitty kitty."

Hawk Moth commanded, "Take Chat Noir's Miraculous!"

Malediktator reached for the ring, but Chat Noir hissed and scratched his face. "Argh!"

Ladybug smirked. "Kitty still has claws! Hold on, Chat Noir, I'll be right back!"

"Hey, where are you going?" Big-Head asked, watching her go.

Malediktator turned and when he saw Big-Head, he let out a growl. "YOU!" He jumped up to the roof level and pointed at the green-faced loon. "I couldn't do anything before as my former self, but as Malediktator, I can finally do what I've wanted to do the moment you snapped those bear traps on my daughter's fingers! By the power vested in me, I declare that you leave Paris and never come back!"

Big-Head dodged the balls of light that came out of his fingertips and pulled out a gun. "Do you hear the people sing?" he sang. "Singing a song of angry men? It is the music of a people who will not be slaves again!"

"Enough! By the power vested in me-" BLAM! "AUGH!" Malediktator screamed as he suddenly felt his right index and middle finger get blasted off his hand.

"Even with all the power, you're still a weak little man." Malediktator swore with anger as black smoke enveloped him. "Uh-oh."


Marinette burst into Master Fu's massage parlor. "Master Fu! A villain has transformed Chat Noir… into a cat!"

The old man and his kwami balked. "What? But… perhaps you shouldn't have left him by himself. He's at Hawk Moth's mercy!"

"He's not alone. Big-Head is with him. Besides, the Miraculous led me here."

Master Fu nodded. "Hmm. And the Lucky Charm never fails." He took the Miracle Box out of the record player and opened it before her. "Marinette Dupain-Cheng, pick an ally you can trust to fight alongside you on this mission. Choose wisely; such powers are meant to serve the greater good. Once the mission is over, you'll retrieve the Miraculous from them. And above all else, do not let Big-Head get his hands on them. If the magics of the Miraculous and the Mask of Loki mix, there's no telling what could happen."

Marinette inspected the Miraculous carefully. " I must choose someone who's not impressed by people in power. Who can help me trap Malediktator." She knew what to do. "Of course! That's it." She reached for the Bee Miraculous, but then had second thoughts. "Wait, what am I thinking?"

"Follow your instincts, Marinette," advised Tikki. Marinette nodded and took the comb.

Master Fu also had his doubts. "Are you sure you want to give it back to… her?"

"Don't worry, Master; I know how to make good use of it this time."


Marinette ran down the street with Tikki hiding in her purse, eating a cookie. "I gotta find Chloé before Malediktator." Suddenly, the ground shook. She looked to her right and balked when she saw... "Oh, my gosh!" It looked like a giant, living bronze statue of Malediktator stomping around the city while battling Big-Head.

"A Megakuma! We really need to find Chloe now," exclaimed Tikki.

"I know! But I don't know where to find her! She talked about her secret lair in her documentary." She looked at the video of Chloe's school documentary on her phone. The background looked kind of familiar. Actually, it looked TOO familiar. It was her bedroom.


Ladybug walked into Chloe's bedroom and found her hiding in the closet. "Are you okay?"

Chloe ran up to her and wrapped her arms around the heroine. "Ladybug, finally! You're going to help me, right?"

"I'm fine with helping you, Chloé, but first… I need you to tell me what happened. Why is your father— I mean, Malediktator, so mad?"

Chloe scoffed and shrugged her shoulders. "It's because of this super lame loser named Marinette Dupain-Cheng. She's this horrible girl in my class and she hates me. She's ganged everyone up against me and she—"

"Maybe this Marinette girl isn't entirely to blame?"

"Okay, it wasn't totally Marinette's fault. She is really mean to me sometimes, but actually, this time, Daddy got angry all by himself."

"All by himself?"

Chloe felt her fib start to crumble as she started to find herself at a loss for words, "Yeah, because… there was something he couldn't do…"

Ladybug put a hand on her shoulder. "Chloé, it's me, Ladybug. You can trust me. You can tell me the truth."

"I...I..." Tears started to run down Chloe's face. "It— it was me. I hurt my daddy's feelings. Because I want to leave Paris, forever."

"Because of what happened in school? I'm sure Marinette probably didn't exactly mean what she said."

Chloe looked away in shame. "Oh, it's not just her— actually, I don't even care about her— it's because I have no reason to be here: nobody likes me; I have no friends. I'm… useless."

Ladybug remembered what Adrien said at school earlier that day. "A friend once told me: nobody is useless, Chloé."

"It's easy for you to say that. You're Ladybug, a superhero. You serve a purpose."

"Yes, I can fix up all the messes. You said it yourself in your documentary."

Chloe gasped in shock. "You saw it?!" Ladybug nodded. Chloe's cheeks turned red. "Oh! I'm so embarrassed. That film's ridiculous. Utterly ridiculous. I realize that now."

"Don't worry Chloé. You can fix your own messes, if that's what you want. You, too, can serve a purpose, but you have to want to."

Chloe wiped away her tears. "I do want to."

Ladybug held up the jewelry box with the comb inside. "Chloé Bourgeois, here is the Bee Miraculous, which grants you the power to immobilize your opponent. You will use it for the greater good." Chloe reached for it, but she hesitated. Smiling, Ladybug nodded with approval. Chloe opened the box and Pollen popped out of the comb before she bowed before Chloe.

"At your service, my Queen," she said.

"Once the job is complete, you will return the Miraculous to me. Can I trust you, Chloé?"

Chloe made a confident smile as she put the comb in her hair. "I won't disappoint you this time, Ladybug. Pollen, BUZZ ON!" The little kwami was sucked into the comb and in a flash of gold, Chloe turned into Queen Bee. She squealed with excitement as the two of them ran in the direction of Malediktator. "I've always dreamed of doing this… with you!"

"We must work together as a team, all right, Queen Bee?"

"Yes, yes, don't worry. I've been practicing since forever."

Ladybug pulled Queen Bee aside before she could run into a chimney.


The two girls arrived to see the giant statue of Malediktator smashing his way through buildings as he attempted to catch Big-Head. Riding on his left shoulder was Audrey and the brainwashed Chat Noir. Ladybug whispered to her, "Okay, here's the plan."

Queen Bee didn't listen and called out to her akumatized father, "Here I am, Daddy! I'm sorry I hurt your feelings the way I did. Stop all this nonsense at once!"

Mrs. Bourgeois made a delighted sound as she said, "My honey pie, you look so pretty in that suit!"

"Ugh! And please put Mom back to normal. I can't bear to see her like this. Your powers are ridiculous. Utterly ridiculous."

Big-Head took one look and balked. "C-Chloe?! Ladybug, what is SHE doing here?! Did you actually give her back the comb?!"

"Thanks for the voice of confidence," snarked Queen Bee.

Malediktator let out a growl before shouting, "That's enough! Now you're going to do what I tell you to do. By the power vested in me, give me your Miraculous!" Suddenly, a rocket fired at his face, almost knocking Mrs. Bourgeois and Chat Noir off their perches. Ladybug and Chloe immediately turned to Big-Head, who threw his hands up in protest. "That wasn't me!"

Another rocket was fired, but Malediktator ducked in time. He turned and saw where they were coming from. An another rooftop was Walter, armed with a rocket launcher. "You! You dare betray me?! I am your master! By the power vested in me, you will attack Ladybug and Queen Bee and bring me their Miraculous!" He fired the little balls of light at the giant, but to everyone's shock, nothing happened. "Impossible! I command you to obey me!" Walter fired another rocket, this time in the giant statue's legs. "OBEY!" And another into the chest. "OBEEEEYYYY!"

Walter responded by throwing a grenade in Malediktator's open mouth. There was a tremendous explosion and fire erupted from the cracks in the statue's body. Walter then retreated as the statue stumbled around, swinging his fists erratically.

Ladybug and Queen Bee saw this as their chance to attack. They launched their yo-yo and top at the giant statue, but he merely swatted them aside with a mere flick of his hand. Ladybug moved in, trying to kick this time, but got blocked again, she then had to dodge another orb. Queen Bee ran up the statue's arm, but she was flicked off like she was a flea. Down on the ground, Big-Head chewed on a banana, then tossed the peel behind him. The statue stomped forward to squash him only to slip on the peel and land on his back.

Hawk Moth spoke in his mind, "You won't pull it off like that! People only respect absolute power!"

"You're right, Hawk Moth. By the power vested in me, I declare you all MY SLAVES!" Malediktator stood up and created a giant orb in the sky.

"I don't think there's any way to dodge that," said Big-Head.

"He's gonna take over the whole city! LUCKY CHARM!" Ladybug twirled her yo-yo in the air and its magic created...

"Ooh, a sniper rifle," Big-Head said as he snatched it out of her hands. "And with a laser scope!" The grin on his face disappeared when he realized, "Uh, Ladybug? There's no ammo."

"Give me that!" Ladybug snatched the gun out of his hands and popped the laser off. "Besides, I'm not using it."

"Seriously?" asked Queen Bee.

"Yeah! You just need to take the sting out."

Queen Bee nodded. "VENOM!" The top spun in her hand, forming a ball of energy shaped like a stinger.

Ladybug shined the laser pointer at Malediktator's sash. Chat Noir took one look at it and tried to claw and paw at it, untying the sash in the process. Down on the ground, Queen Bee ran up to the giant statue's ankle and gave it a sting. Malediktator let out a girly squeal as he felt the energy ball's magic paralyze him. He toppled over and crashed to the ground, sending a shockwave that rocked the whole city. "Sorry, Daddy! Your turn, Ladybug!"

Ladybug tore the sash, releasing the akuma. "No more evil-doing for you, little akuma. Time to de-evilize!" She caught it with the yo-yo and purified it. "Gotcha! Bye, bye, little butterfly. Miraculous Ladybug!" She tossed the scope up into the air and it exploded into a wave of red and black spots that undid all the damage and Malediktator's spell. Malediktator himself turned back into Mayor Bourgeois, who looked around, confused.

And unfortunately for him, his wife was also back to normal. "Wha—? What are we doing here?! What have you done this time, André?"

Chat Nor approached Ladybug and said, "Ah, bummer; don't tell me I missed out on the party."

"Yep, you missed Queen Bee and Ladybug saving Paris, for real this time," said Ladybug.

"Surprising, isn't it?" asked Big-Hed.

Ladybug held out her hand. Queen Bee nodded. "I understand, Ladybug. Pollen, buzz off." In a flash of black and gold, she turned back into Chloe and handed Ladybug the comb. "Being a superhero isn't only about fixing messes." Then to her surprise, Ladybug held up her fist. "You mean it?" Ladybug nodded. They fist bumped and said, "Pound it!" Then she ran to her parents, who were in a heated argument. "Mommy, Daddy! Come on, let's go home."

As they watched the Bourgeois family left, Chat Noir said, ashamed, "Sorry, M'Lady. Feel like I was pretty useless this time around."

"Actually, you were totally key in defeating Malediktator."

"Really? Tell me all about it!"

"You chased after a laser like a real cat," said Big-Head. "Also, you licked your leg like a real cat."

"Wait, what?"


Marnette returned to the massage parlor and gave back the comb. "You took a big risk entrusting this Miraculous to Chloé Bourgeois," said Master Fu. "Do you really think she's got what it takes to be a superhero?"

"Yes, I do. Ladybug has made me a better Marinette. So, perhaps being Queen Bee will make her a better Chloé, too!"

"That's very noble of you, Marinette."


Later that day, Chloe was invited by Marinette to come to a party at school. Chloe didn't look that impressed as she asked her, "All right, I came to your stupid party… now what?"

"Look there, we're having a party in honor of the girl who saved Paris: Queen Bee!"

Chloe gasped when she saw a banner saying, "Thank you, Queen Bee!" She stuttered, "But— Queen Bee is… me. You're— you're having a party… for me?"

Sabrina ran up to her and gave her a hug. "Chloé! I thought I'd lost you!"

"Okay, no need to make a big thing of it. Ugh! Besides, you're wrinkling my clothes."

"Sorry…"

"All right, all right, let me go. I wanna show you the diamond phone case Daddy gave me." The sun reflected off the diamonds, hurting everyone's eyes. "Your daddy wouldn't be able to buy you one of these, would he?"

"MY EYES," screamed Rudi. "I'M BLIND!"

Adrien smiled as he approached Marinette. "It was really cool of you to put this party together for Chloé."

"Well, she did save Paris, so… she just may be able to save herself, too. Am I right?"

Alya rolled her eyes. "Rena Rouge and Carapace helped Ladybug save Paris, but nobody threw them a party."

Marinette giggled. "That's because we don't know their true identities, unlike Chloé. If she feels like she can be useful, I'm sure she'll change her attitude."

"Really?"

"Well...baby steps. Baby steps."

While Chloe partied, she suddenly felt something in her back pocket. She pulled out a folded piece of paper and unfolded it. What she saw raised an eyebrow. It was a drawing of a black hand with a gold bee in the palm. She scoffed and crumpled it up. "Is this someone's idea of a prank," she asked as she threw it away. "Utterly ridiculous."
