The Scene is Tom & Sabine Boulangerie Patisserie. Marinette is on her balcony with Tikki.
"How about inviting him to a movie then?" Asked Tikki. "Right, Tikki. Can you imagine that conversation?" Asked Marinette. "Hey Adrien, would you like to gah— wuh, glah" Said Tikki, as she pretends to get tongue-twisted and sticks her tongue out. "Exactly. I can't help it. Every time I see him, I get all clammy and I feel like fainting" Said Marinette, as she imagines that an image of Adrien appears in the clouds. "So... basically the only way you could have a normal conversation with him, is if you're blindfolded" Said Tikki. "Pretty much" Said Marinette. "There is a very simple solution, Marinette, it's called a cell phone. You just need his number" Said Tikki. "I know who'll have Adrien's number!" Declared Marinette.
Marinette pulls out her phone to call Alya. The Scene moves outside, to The Place des Vosges. A crowd is gathered for the Ladybug and Cat Noir's sculpture. Théo and André Bourgeois are facing the crowd, with the giant statue covered with a sheet behind them
"I'm sure you've outdone yourself, Théo" Said André. "It was my honor. And I can't wait to meet Ladybug, I hope she'll autograph the photo I used as the inspiration for the statue" Said Théo. "Oh, it's nearly time. Ladybug and Cat Noir should already be here by now" Said André.
The Scene returns to Marinette's room, now with 100% more Alya and Hope
"Look, we all know improv's not your bag, so just stick to this script" Said Alya, giving Marinette a notepad. "But all the teachers say I don't sound natural when I read" Said Marinette. "Would you prefer to not sound natural or not know what to say?" Asked Hope, before taking a small sip from his smoothie. "Why are you here again?" Asked Alya. "I was there when you got the call, and I decided to tag along. Besides, I've got a thing next door" Said Hope. "What thing?" Asked Marinette. "Ladybug statue. Anyway, ah, memorize it. You know, pretty simple. You can do this" Said Hope. "Just don't improvise. Got it?" Asked Alya, as Marinette looks at Alya's phone and the script. "Forget it! This is never gonna work!" Declared Marinette.
Alya taps the call button on her phone and jumps behind Marinette's chaise.
"Too late. It's dialing" Said Alya. "Well, I wouldn't have done that" Said Hope.
Marinette gasps and panics while holding the cell phone in one hand, not knowing what to do.
"Hey, this is Adrien's voicemail. Leave a message" Said Adrien's Voice Recorder. "It's gone to voicemail!" Declared Marinette. "Yeah, phones do that" Said Hope. "Leave a message! Don't improv!" Shouted Alya. "Uhh, hello. Uh, Adrien's voicemail, uh, this is Marinette, who, uh, has a message for you, of course, cause it's, uh, your phone, so, umm... Call me see you later, bye!" Shouted Marinette.
Marinette throws the phone onto the chaise as Alya and Hope look at her, exasperated.
"What? What did you two expect me to say? Hey, hot stuff, this is Marinette, I'd ask you on a date to a movie, but I've got such a crazy crush on you that the only way I can talk to you without foaming out the mouth is over this stupid phone. Pretty ridiculous, right?" Asked Marinette. "No, being honest is a good thing" Said Hope. "If you wish to hear your message again, press 1. If you wish to erase your message, press 2" Said a voice on Alya's Phone, making Marinette gasp. "Hit 2! Hit 2!" Shouted Alya.
Marinette lunges and taps the phone.
"Message saved. Goodbye" Said Alya's Phone.
Marinette screams, before she collapses on the chaise
"It's not as bad as you think" Said Alya. "Hmm?" Pondered Marinette. "Okay, it's bad. But you were gonna have to tell him one of these days, some way or another. Think of it this way. No more secrets!" Declared Alya. "The voicemail recorded my whole conversation" Said Marinette. "Big deal!" Declared Alya. "I called him hot stuff. He cannot be allowed to hear that message, Alya! If he does, I'll die of shame!" Declared Marinette. "I don't think Adrien is the type of guy who would tell everyone" Said Hope. "Still, somebody might overhear it. Okay, okay. I got an idea. If Adrien's phone went to voicemail, it means the dude's busy. Which also means you can get to it before he does. Hmm, I wonder where he'd be..." Said Alya. "No clue. It's hopeless" Said Hope.
Marinette pulls down a large copy of Adrien's schedule from the ceiling.
"Of course! He's got fencing club after school, that's why he didn't pick up! It ends in exactly twenty-two and a half minutes" Said Marinette. "... I don't even think Cat Noir has something like this for Ladybug" Said Hope. "You are seriously insane. You know that, right?" Asked Alya.
Marinette giggles. The Scene shifts to Collège Françoise Dupont. Adrien is taking fencing classes, while Plagg is in his locker, eating Camembert. Adrien's phone vibrates.
"You have 1 new message" Said an automated voice.
Plagg shuts it off. Back in the gym, Adrien defeats his opponent. He pulls up his mask.
"Gotta get a drink of water. I'll be right back" Said Adrien.
He runs to his locker and opens it. He opens his bag and sees Plagg inside, finishing his cheese.
"Plagg, you pig" Said Adrien. "You have 1 new message" Said Plagg, before he burps. "Move, please, so I can check my voicemail. Hmm, don't recognize this number. Oh no, now we're late! Time to transform, Plagg" Said Adrien.
His ring flashes. The Scene shifts back to the Dupain-Cheng House. Marinette, Alya and Hope are running down the stairs. They go outside and see Cat Noir, leaping over a building and landing in front of the statue.
"Woo-hoo! Yeah-ha-ha! Ha! Hahaha! Hey, everybody!" Exclaimed Cat Noir.
Marinette covers her mouth and looks panicked.
"Well, I guess I should get changed" Said Hope. "They're unveiling Ladybug and Cat Noir's sculptures today! I totally spaced" Said Alya. "Me too" Said Marinette. "Uh, you never mentioned going to the unveiling before" Said Alya. "I'm not, I mean, I am! Uh, I mean, I forgot?" Asked Marinette. "Hey, don't worry about it" Said Hope. "Listen. About Adrien's cellphone, what if we go right after?" Asked Alya. "If we wait after the ceremony, Adrien's fencing training will be over, and he'll have his phone back by then" Said Marinette. "Well, this is a real catch twenty two" Said Hope. "Shoot. I gotta cover this event for the Ladyblog... I'm sorry, Marinette" Said Alya. "Don't sweat it. I can manage. I think" Said Marinette. "You sure?" Asked Hope. "Yes, yes. I'm sure" Said Marinette. "Cool. Good luck, and stay out of trouble. And don't improv" Said Alya, as Marinette runs towards Collège Françoise Dupont. "Hey, Alya. You want some exclusive Ladyblog content?" Asked Hope. "Sure. Depends on what it is" Said Alya. "First look at what I'm rocking up to the unveiling in. It'll be new. Left or right?" Asked Hope, putting his hands behind his back.
Alya took out her phone and started filming Hope.
"What's up, Ladyblog!? I'm here with the transforming hero, Hope Xiao Rose, where he's going to be giving us the first look at a new form he will be debuting today at the statue unveiling of Ladybug and Cat Noir. Any opinions why you aren't getting a statue yourself?" Asked Alya. "I mean, as far as active hero work, Ladybug and Cat Noir have been doing it for two weeks more then I have, witch means a month give or take of saving Paris" Said Hope. "You raise a good point. Now, you said this is a simple choice of witch ever hand I chose?" Asked Alya. "Certainly. A simple choice of left or right" Said Hope. "Then I think the Ladyblog should see what you'll transform into with what is in your right hand" Said Alya.
Hope held up what was in his right hand, the Thousandriver.
"Well, I guess I'm transforming into Kamen Rider Thouser. I'd recommend a few steps back, this can get chaotic" Said Hope, putting on the Thousandriver. "Alright..." Said Alya, as she took a few steps back.
Hope held up the Amazing Caucasus Progrisekey and the Awaking Arsino Zetsumerisekey. Hope then plugged the Awaking Arsino Zetsumerisekey into the Thousandriver, making it announce "Zetsumetsu Evolution" as Hope pressed the button on top of the Amazing Caucasus Progrisekey making it open up and announce "Break Horn!". Hope then plugged the Amazing Caucasus Progrisekey into the other side of the Thousandriver making it announce "Perfectrise! When the five horns cross, the golden soldier Thouser is born. Presented by ZAIA" as Hope was transformed into Kamen Rider Thouser.
"Woah! Well, you saw it here first, folks. This is Hope Xiao Rose as Kamen Rider Thouser! Stay safe" Said Alya, before she uploaded the video to the Ladyblog. "Now, let's go see those statues" Said Hope.
The scene shifted back over to Tikki and Marinette
"Isn't Ladybug supposed to be at the unveiling?" Asked Tikki. "Yes, but Marinette needs to be at the school first" Said Marinette. "But it is a ceremony in your honor" Said Tikki. "And it's my honor that's at stake right now. I'll be in and out of there in five minutes. We can be at the ceremony in no time" Said Marinette.
The Scene changes over to The Place des Vosges. The ceremony is about to begin.
"Excuse me, Cat Noir, but Ladybug's not here" Said Théo. "Don't worry about Ladybug. I'm sure she'll be here any minute. I can handle this situation alone for now. I'm the one in charge anyway, you know" Said Cat Noir. "Not only is that false, it's grossly disproportionate. All three of us are equals, no one above another" Said Hope, as he walked over to Théo and Cat Noir, through the crowd. "Hope. I was wondering if I was going to be the only one here" Said Cat Noir. "Well, I couldn't let that happen. You could have done something stupid, like cataclysm the statue. And then where would have France's taxpayer euro's went?" Asked Hope. "Good to see you Hope" Said Cat Noir. "Same to you, Cat" Said Hope, going and standing next to Cat Noir. "Hope, do you know where Ladybug is?" Asked Théo. "No, why?" Asked Hope. "It's just that, I wanted to ask her to autograph this photo. She's amazing. She's so brave and smart, the way she always saves everyone..." Said Théo.
Cat Noir glares at the photo; Théo and Hope don't notice.
"Perhaps the ceremony should commence. It might bring her here faster. Ah! Hope... Did you want a statue too?" Asked André. "Well... yes, but at another time" Said Hope. "Please, just one minute more, Mayor Bourgeois, she's going to come, I can feel it..." Said Théo
The Scene shifts over to Collège Françoise Dupont. Fencing class continues on, as Marinette sneaks into the lockeroom
"...I'm there!" Declared Marinette, before she sees all the lockers. "Oh boy" Said Tikki. "Which one's his?" Asked Marinette. "If you call him, you'll make his phone ring" Said Tikki. "Nice, Tikki" Said Marinette.
She calls Adrien, and puts her ear against each locker to figure out where the ringing is coming from. The Scene returns to The Place des Vosges. The ceremony is about to begin.
"It's only proper for Paris to pay homage to those..." Said André.
Hope cleared his throat, making André jump.
"Ah ha... To some of those who protect us from evil. Ladybug and Cat Noir!" Declared André, as he unveils the statues. "Can I get some photos for the Ladyblog?" Asked Alya. "Are you actually mad about not getting a statue?" Asked Cat Noir. "No. But what you get when you cross being left out, intimidating clothes and someone with no back bone... is hours of entertainment" Said Hope. "You seem like a terrible person to be around" Said Cat Noir. "Could be worse" Said Hope. "How so?" Asked Cat Noir. "I could be Chloé" Said Hope. "... Yeah, that's fair" Said Cat Noir.
Théo looks at Ladybug's statue and sighs sadly. The Scene returns to College. Marinette is still looking for Adrien's cell phone.
"Hurry, they're finishing up" Said Tikki. "Here it is" Said Marinette.
She tries to open the locker, but it's locked.
"Gah! It's locked" Said Marinette.
Tikki phases through the locker and opens it.
"Ta-dah!" Exclaimed Tikki.
The Scene goes back to The Place des Vosges. The ceremony has just ended.
"These statues are amazing. One thing's slightly off though— I'm actually taller than Ladybug" Said Cat Noir. "He's actually right about that, I think" Said Hope. "Ladybug didn't show up. I just wanted to express my adoration for her. Let her know that everything I had went into her statue. I'm sure if she took a little time to get to know me, she would see how much we have in common. Our devotion to the things we love" Said Théo, making Cat Noir glare at him. "Hey, Don't worry about it. She might have been preoccupied with something. For all we know, she could have a job and..." Said Hope. "Hey, don't mean to burst your bubble, but you know, Ladybug and me, we're a thing, you know?" Asked Adrien. "Really?" Asked Théo. "Yeah, we're like this" Said Adam, crossing his fingers. "What does Ladybug see in him?" Asked Théo, growling and walking away angrily. "Welp, that's an akumatization on you" Said Hope, walking away.
The Scene returns to College as Marinette is trying to unlock Adrien's phone.
"They're coming! Put back the phone" Said Tikki. "I haven't erased the message yet" Said Marinette. "We're out of time and we really ought to be getting to that ceremony, come on" Said Tikki.
Marinette hides behind the door as it opens.
"Whew! That was rough. Ha ha" Said a Student.
Marinette edges out the door without anyone seeing her. As she leaves the building, Cat Noir lands on the roof. Having changed back, Adrien opens the locker room door and steps in, whistling. He opens his locker and takes his bag. The Scene shifts to Théo's studio
"A thing, huh? You don't even take love seriously. Calling it a thing... You don't deserve her! I do!" Declared Théo.
The Scene shifts to Hawk Moth's lair
"Disappointed by Ladybug and jealous of Cat Noir. The perfect formula for disaster. Fly away, my little akuma, and evilize him!" Declared Hawk Moth, as he turns a butterfly into an akuma.
The Scene returns to Théo's studio. The akuma flies into the crumpled photo in Théo's hands.
"Hello, Copycat. I am Hawk Moth. Once you get rid of Cat Noir, you can take his place. And Ladybug will be yours forever" Said Hawk Moth. "The very thought of it makes me purr" Said Theo.
Théo turns into Copycat. Meanwhile, in Adrien's room, Adrien is looking for his phone.
"Ugh, where is it?" Asked Adrien, before he looked angrily at Plagg. "What are you looking at me for? I didn't eat it. I swear!" Declared Plagg.
Adrien grabs the house phone so he calls his cellphone, witch is in Marinette's room
"How do you listen to messages on this... Home?" Asked Marinette, as the phone rings.
Marinette scrambles away from the phone
"It's Adrien! He's looking for his phone! What if he tracks it? He'll figure out I stole it, I'll be arrested for grand theft, I'll spend the rest of my life in jail, and worse, I'll never get to go to the movies with Adrien!" Declared Marinette, as drawings appear onscreen, depicting what Marinette describes.
Marinette collapses on her bed
"Oh, Marinette. You really need to get your priorities in order" Said Tikki. "I know. Some days it feels impossible to balance being Marinette and being Ladybug" Said Marinette.
The Scene returns to Adrien's room
"Hey, this is Adrien's voicemail. Leave a message" Said Adrien's Phone. "Ugh, it must still be at the gym" Said Adrien.
Adrien grabs Plagg, who was in the middle of eating, and leaves. Meanwhile, at The Louvre. Copycat, identical in every way to Cat Noir, strolls down the museum hall, humming. The civilians are surprised. Some hold up their phones to take pictures or videos. Copycat steps across some rope to steal the Mona Lisa.
"Don't mind me. Just stealing this painting. Go about your business" Said Copycat. "Hey!" Shouted a civilian.
A hand is placed on Copycat's shoulder. Copycat trips the civilian, and kicks him down the museum hall.
"I gotta get this on camera" Said a civilian.
The scene shifts to Adrien, being driven by his chauffeur as Nadja's voice comes over the radio.
"And in some astonishing news, there's been a spectacular theft at the Louvre. Amateur video showed without a shadow of a doubt that the thief is none other than the famous hero, Cat Noir" Said Nadja, as video of Copycat's heist played on a screen. "This painting is the cat's meow" Said Copycat, as he runs away with the painting. "Cat's meow? Not only is that person a fake, he's a terrible fake!" Declared Adrien, shocked and getting out of the car.
Adrien runs into the school to transform. Cat Noir then jumps off the building to investigate the scene. Meanwhile, in Marinette's room, Marinette is wearing goggles and baking mittens, and operating Adrien's phone with a Q-tip.
"Ugh, of course Adrien would own one of these super-expensive high-tech smartphones. I can't even figure out how to work this thing" Said Marinette. "Maybe it would help if you took off those silly mittens" Said Tikki. "And risk leaving fingerprints? No way" Said Marinette.
Marinette's phone rings, and she answers with her nose; it's Alya.
"Problem fixed?" Asked Alya. "Almost. I haven't erased the message yet, but I'm working on it as we speak" Said Marinette. "Theft and Stalking are crimes, aren't they?" Asked a voice. "Who was that?" Asked Marinette. "That was Hope" Said Alya. "Why is he with you?" Asked Marinette. "I'd check the Ladyblog for that information. And information is also why I'm with Alya" Said Hope. "Information? On what?" Asked Marinette. "On the Cat Noir robbery" Said Alya. "What? Somebody robbed Cat Noir?" Asked Marinette. "Backwards" Said Hope. "No, girl. Didn't you hear? Cat Noir came in and stole the Mona Lisa! In broad daylight! Ladybug's gonna turn up for sure, and I do not wanna miss this. Just chill and I'll be over later" Said Alya. "Kay. Cat Noir is a lot of things, but he's no thief. Time to transform! Tikki, spots on! Ha!" Declared Marinette, as she ends the call.
Marinette transforms into Ladybug. The Scene shifts to the Louvre. Cat Noir appears, and the police prepare themselves. Hope walks towards Cat Noir
"Whoa! Easy, tigers! You've got the wrong cat! That thief's an impostor. I'm the real Cat Noir" Said Cat Noir. "I know" Said Hope. "Hope. I thought you would have changed between public appearances" Said Cat Noir. "I did. I changed as soon as the statue ceremony was over. But you can have so much fun as Thouser" Said Hope.
Officer Roger orders the police to stop
"Let me check out where the robbery took place. I have a knack for finding clues. You know, animal instincts" Said Cat Noir. "Of course. Come with me. Thanks for your help, Cat Noir" Said Roger.
They enter the museum. Cat Noir finds Théo's lollipop stick on a table.
"That's how I know you're innocent" Said Hope.
At that moment, Agent Roger presses a button and traps Cat Noir and Hope.
"Hey! I'm the real Cat Noir! I'm way slicker than that guy" Said Cat Noir. "Kitty's in the slammer. I repeat, kitty's in the slammer" Said Roger, speaking into his walkie-talkie. "Well, I guess I'm just collateral" Said Hope.
Meanwhile, Ladybug arrives at the museum. She sees Mayor Bourgeois and the police.
"Mr. Mayor, this is ridiculous. I'm sure there's a simple explanation" Said Ladybug. "Kitty's in the slammer, Ladybug" Said Roger. "Don't think you're gonna keep him in there..." Said Ladybug. "Now, now. Leave it to the experts, Ladybug. We've got it under control" Said Roger. "Hmph" Muttered Ladybug.
Meanwhile, in the museum, Cat Noir uses his Cataclysm power to break the bars and free himself and Hope. The both step out through the bars.
"Let's both take different routes out. I'll go left" Said Hope. "And I'll go upstairs" Said Cat Noir. "Well, I wouldn't have recommended it but I guess it's a direction. Try not to get your identity revealed" Said Hope.
Cat Noir runs upstairs, as Hope runs down a side hallway. He is confronted by police officers.
"Thanks for the warm hospitality, but I gotta split, so... I'll just say this one more time. You've got the wrong cat!" Declared Cat Noir, before he fights his way through the police. "Cat Noir is getting away!" Declared a police officer, through their walkie-talkie to Roger.
Ladybug and Agent Roger run inside, and see the police officers on the floor.
"Well, if he's so innocent, then why is he running away?" Asked Roger. "Have you ever considered the fact that not even 10 minutes ago, he was a bonafide hero?" Asked Hope, walking over to Ladybug and Roger. "Hope? Did you get here before me?" Asked Ladybug. "It's more of a collaboration. Also, why did you miss your own celebration?" Asked Hope.
Meanwhile, Cat Noir runs away from the police. While hiding, he starts calling Ladybug with his staff. Ladybug's yo-yo receives Cat Noir's call, so Ladybug and Hope move away from Roger discreetly.
"Requesting assistance, I repeat, requesting assistance. We are in pursuit of the suspect..." Said Roger. "Cat Noir, what's going on?" Asked Ladybug. "You know I'm innocent, don't you, Bugaboo?" Asked Car Noir. "Watch it. We're within 5 meters of a cop" Said Hope. "Oh no! You wouldn't tell on me, would you? I promise not to skip class!" Declared Cat Noir. "Stop playing around and calling me Bugaboo. This is really serious" Said Ladybug. "I'm gonna find the real culprit and save my tail. I'll get back to-wha!" Exclaimed Cat Noir, as a police helicopter arrives. "Huh?" Asked Ladybug. "Give yourself up, Cat Noir!" Declared a police officer, through a megaphone. "Aren't you gonna go after him?" Asked Roger, to Hope and Ladybug. "Who, us?" Asked Hope. "Hope, I think we should leave it to the experts" Said Ladybug. "Oh, definitely. Want some ice cream?" Asked Hope. "Sounds nice" Said Ladybug, as she swings away, and Hope follows her.
Meanwhile, Cat Noir arrives at a subway and the police trapped one end of the stairs, where he turns back into Adrien as he walks upstairs while he whistles.
"Come on, let's get him!" Shouted a police officer. "If you want my opinion, I'd say the thief was akumatized" Said Plagg, as he eats his Camembert.
Adrien holds Théo's lollipop stick
"That much I had figured. See that lollipop stick? The sculptor. How did I not see that jealousy coming a mile away?" Asked Adrien. "Yours or his?" Asked Plagg. "Ha ha, so funny" Said Adrien
The Scene shifts to Outside Théo's studio.
"Gotcha, Copycat" Said Cat Noir.
Meanwhile, Ladybug and Hope are standing at the top of a building, when Ladybug's yo-yo receives a call
"Is it a cat, or the phone company again?" Asked Hope, as Ladybug answers her phone. "Cat Noir, where are you?" Asked Ladybug. "I found his den" Said Cat Noir. "Who?" Asked Ladybug. "My Copycat" Said Cat Noir. "I'm not getting you" Said Ladybug. "If you'd been there this morning, you'd know what I was talking about" Said Cat Noir. "I was, so let me explain it to her" Said Hope. "Perfect... I got myself into this mess, so I'm gonna get myself out" Said Cat Noir, hanging up. "Uhh, Cat? Cat!" Shouted Ladybug. "That was exceedingly dark. Get the location, I'll tell you everything on the way" Said Hope.
Ladybug checks Cat Noir's location and they head for it The Scene is now the interior of Théo's studio. Cat Noir enters through the roof of the studio, to see a box, a note and a cat statue. Cat Noir takes and reads the note.
"Cat's in the bag?" Asked Cat Noir.
The box bursts, and Cat Noir finds himself in chains. Cat Noir pulls on them for a second, unable to free himself.
"Cataclysm!" Declared Cat Noir.
Suddenly, Copycat appears and places a square object in front of Cat Noir's hand. He destroys it instead, wasting the Cataclysm.
"I don't get what Ladybug sees in you. A fool who so easily falls into my trap" Said Copycat.
Cat Noir sees that Copycat has his staff
"Looking for this? Which one should I pick up? My one or my one?" Asked Copycat
Cat Noir's staff starts ringing, and Copycat talks in Cat Noir's voice.
"Ladybug, hurry up. I've caught the impostor at Théo Barbot's workshop" Said Copycat. "We'll be there in thirty seconds" Said Ladybug. "Don't come here, Ladybug! It's a trap!" Declared Cat Noir.
Copycat ends the call.
"Too late, Cat. Ladybug's on her way, which was my plan all along" Said Copycat. "She won't be duped. She knows me too well" Said Cat Noir. "I know you well too. And from now on, she'll love me, not you!" Declared Copycat, looking at his akumatized photo. "Love me? ...You're right! She loves me! That's why she'll be able to reveal your true identity!" Declared Cat Noir. "Copycat, stop this small talk and get me Cat Noir's Miraculous!" Declared Hawk Moth, from his lair.
Copycat knocks Cat Noir down and is about to take his ring, but then Ladybug and Hope appears, and Copycat watches Ladybug run, in love
"Huh?" Stuttered Copycat. "Ha ha!" Laughed Cat Noir. "There you are" Said Copycat. "Cat Noir! He really looks like you" Said Ladybug. "That's because I am me!" Declared Cat Noir. "Where is his akuma?" Asked Hope. "Inside his ring, of course. Grab it" Said Copycat. "Ladybug's doing all the work for us. What sweet irony" Said Hawk Moth, from his lair.
Cat Noir's ring beeps.
"He even has the same powers as you" Said Ladybug. "Simply amazing, isn't it?" Asked Copycat. "It's very accurate. You would expect something wrong or out of place" Said Hope. "If you don't believe I'm the real Cat Noir, ask him about our love for each other" Said Cat Noir. "Uhh..." Exclaimed Ladybug. "Have I ever lied to you, Bugaboo?" Asked Cat Noir.
With a small nod, Ladybug leans in close to Copycat, making him cough.
"I hope you didn't tell him about us" Said Ladybug. "What?" Asked Copycat. "That we're... you know, we made a secret promise?" Asked Ladybug. "Uh, yes! Of course!" Declared Copycat. "We never made a promise. Copycat!" Declared Ladybug, flipping away from Copycat. "I love you, Ladybug! I'm way better than this mangy alley cat!" Declared Copycat. "Sorry, but liars are losers. Cat Noir may annoy me to pieces, but he's never lied to me" Said Ladybug. "And besides. What kind of heroes would we be if we chose a villain over our friend?" Asked Hope, pointing the Thousand Jacker at Copycat. "Thanks for the compliment. I think" Said Cat Noir. "Don't do that. It might hurt" Said Hope. "Do it now, take Cat Noir's Miraculous!" Declared Hawk Moth, from his lair. "If I can't have you, then nobody will! Cataclysm!" Declared Copycat, summoning a Cataclysm. "Let's wrap this up! Lucky Charm! A spoon? What am I supposed to do with this?" Declared Ladybug, as a spoon appeared. "No time for that" Said Hope.
Copycat is about to use his Cataclysm on Cat Noir, but Hope ducked down in front of Copycat and pressed the tip of the Thousand Jacker into Copycat's stomach. Hope pulled back on the Jack Ring, as the Thousand Jacker declared "Jackrise!" and the cataclysm faded from Copycat's hand.
"What the..." Said Copycat. "It seems I can read the energy patterns of Akumas. Good to know" Said Hope, as he pulled the trigger on the Thousand Jacker.
The screen turns blue, as the words JACKING and BREAK appeared on the top and bottom of the screen one letter at a time, JACKING at the top and BREAK at the bottom, before it returns to reality with Ladybug holding up Cat Noir's chains up so that Hope slashes through them and turning the who contraption to dust, as the Thousand Riser declared "Jacking Break! ZAIA Enterprise.", freeing Cat Noir.
"Excellent job, my friends" Said Cat Noir. "Where's his akuma?" Asked Ladybug. "The photo in his pocket. Let's make it snappy" Said Cat Noir. "Ha ha ha! You're going to change back before me" Said Copycat. "That may be so, but you won't take long" Said Hope.
Copycat and Cat Noir fight, and Ladybug and Hope joins in.
"He's pretty good" Said Ladybug. "Shockingly, it is like fighting Cat Noir" Said Hope. "Don't need to rub it in!" Shouted Cat Noir. "I told you I was better than him" Said Copycat. "You're barely coming close" Said Hope. "But I'm better than both of you!" Declared Ladybug, as she takes Cat Noir's staff from Copycat and gives the staff to Cat Noir.
The two Cats keep fighting, and Ladybug grabs Cat Noir's arm
"Hey, it's me!" Declared Cat Noir. "He's lying! I'm the real one!" Declared Copycat. "Ugh, now you're both annoying me to pieces!" Declared Ladybug. "I have an idea of how to figure this out. Ladybug, start looking around" Said Hope. "For what?" Asked Ladybug. "The way to use your spoon. Meanwhile, only the real Cat Noir will know the answer to my question" Said Hope. "Amazing. Ok. I'll do it" Said Ladybug.
Ladybug uses her lucky vision, and it shows her the Twin Cats staffs, a wooden rod, her yo-yo and the spoon. Ladybug takes the rod from one of the Cats, and uses the objects to make a fishing rod.
"Now that the ever-reliable Ladybug has finished her treasure hunt, I shall now ask my question. That question is... What is the first line of the Parisian Superhero Oath?" Asked Hope. "The Parisian Superhero Oath...?" Asked Ladybug. "Yeah, Ladybug. The Parisian Superhero Oath" Said Hope, looking at Ladybug. "Oh, oh yeah! The Parisian Superhero Oath! The true Cat Noir would know that word for word" Said Ladybug. "Oh! I know! It's..." Said Copycat. "Oh, I know that hesitation well... Copycat!" Declared Hope, pointing at Copycat. "How!?" Asked Copycat. "Your hesitation. You hesitated because you had been tricked before and doubted that what we were saying was ture" Said Hope. "Now, Cat Noir. Use scratch attack!" Declared Ladybug. "I love a good cat fight!" Declared Cat Noir.
Cat Noir pulled Copycat down and lifted him into the air while he used his feet to prevent Copycat from attacking and Cat Noir blinks and he unzips the pocket that has the photo .
"Time to go akuma fishing!" Declared Ladybug.
Ladybug uses the fishing rod to lift Copycat into the ceiling and Hope grabs his photo. Hope hands the photo to Cat Noir and he tears it to release the akuma.
"No more evil-doing for you, little akuma. Time to de-evilize! Gotcha! Bye bye, little butterfly. Miraculous Ladybug!" Declared Ladybug, as she catches the akuma and the akuma turns into a butterfly.
Everything turns back to normal, and Copycat turns back into Théo, who is caught by Cat Noir.
"Nice catch!" Declared Ladybug. "Yeah. It looks to be a 64 pound former catfish" Said Hope. "I'm so glad you two could tell the real cat from the fake one" Said Cat Noir. "Once I figured out which cat was really in love with me, it was a no-brainer" Said Ladybug, as Cat Noir's ring beeps. "Better help the fellow out. His crush just got crushed. That makes two of us" Said Adrien. "Ugh... What am I doing here? Ladybug? Hope?" Asked Théo. "I'm sorry I couldn't make it this morning, Théo" Said Ladybug. "Can you autograph it for me?" Asked Théo, holding his photo. "Of course I can! You've got some real artistry here. You've really captured my essence" Said Ladybug, autographing the photo. "Thank you, Ladybug. And don't worry. I know about you and Cat Noir. It's okay" Said Théo. "Huh?" Asked Ladybug. "Yes. It's like some sort of superhero young love" Said Hope, as he leaves.
The Scene shifts to College. Cat Noir turns back into Adrien, and searches for his phone. He gives up and returns to the car.
"Didn't find it" Said Adrien.
The Scene moves over to Marinette's room. Marinette is with Alya and Hope.
"If you wish to hear your message again, press 1. If you wish to erase your message, press 2" Said the phone.
Marinette presses 2.
"Your message has been erased" Said the phone. "You know what? I'm gonna tell him I found his phone" Said Marinette. "So we hope" Said Hope. "That'd be a good way to start up a conversation, wouldn't it? And I'll invite him to the movies" Said Marinette. "That's my girl" Said Alya.
The Scene returns to College. Adrien is talking with Nino about his missing phone.
"Maybe you dropped it somewhere" Said Nino. "Well, if I did, then, whoever has it found it in the boys' locker room. I was checking my voicemail in there during fencing practice" Said Adrien. "Do it now" Wispered Alya.
Marinette puts Adrien's phone in his bag, which falls over.
"Huh? What in the... I already looked in here a thousand times!" Declared Adrien. "You need some time off. Hey, I know, let's go to the movies tonight" Said Nino. "Hey, dudes, mind if a few friends tag along?" Asked Alya. "Sure thing" Said Nino.
Marinette looks at Adrien and jumps for joy
"Yay!" Exclaimed Marinette.
