Every girl in the class (minus Sabrina and Chloe) has shown up at Marinette's place to discuss a certain plan of hers and Alya's. Marinette and Alya were standing while everyone else was sitting by or on Marinette's couch/bed up in her room.
"Thanks for showing up girls." greeted Alya "So check this out. I've got the biggest scoop! But FYI it's seriously hush hush. top secret, classified information." added Alya
"You know who Ladybug is?" asked Alix causing everyone to get their hopes up.
"No. But it's almost as hot. Marinette is-" Alya was interrupted with Marinette blushing and whispering into her ear " Wait Alya. Do you think this is such a good idea?"
"I don't think it is I know it is." answered Alya confidently and for some reason Marinette whimpered. She then added "But remember girls your lips are sealed. Got it?"
Everyone of the girls nodded their heads in understanding. Marinette then looked like she was going to cry and hid her face as Alya began again "Well, Marinette is head over heals for somebody."
Before Alya could say who Alix spoke up again "Yeah Adrien!" causing everyone to laugh.
Marinette quit hiding her face in fear and changed to a look of shock. "What but how did you know?!"
"Well it is pretty obvious." answered Mylene (not sure if I spelled that right)
Marinette got her panic face back and added "So do you think... I mean... Adrien knows too?"
"No way boys never pick up on things like that." said Rose with nods of agreement from everyone else. Marinette sighed in relief with Alya giving her a pat on the back.
Alya cut to the chase "Right so lets get down to business. Your mission should you choose to accept it. Is to arrange a ridiculously romantic date between Marinette and Adrien."
"Oh that's so sweet." commented Rose
"Great!" said Alix with a thumbs up.
"Big time." whispered Juleka since she almost always whispers.
"Easier said than done but I'm in" added Gwen.
Mylene finished off the statements with "We know we can count on you Marinette, so you can count on us too."
Marinette smiled at and thanked them all.
Alya began the briefing with "Your up Marinette."
"Alya and I have come up with a plan. It's called "Operation: Secret Garden"."
Mylene piped up "Excuse me, but why do we need a plan? I mean, can't Marinette just go up to Adrien and ask him out?" Everyone laughed at that minus Marinette.
"Seriously Mylene this is Marinette we're talking about here." said Alya causing the girl mentioned to blush. Alya continued "Now each of you will have a code name based on a flower. Alix, you'll be Violet, Mylene, you'll be Sunflower Juleka, you'll be Rose, Gwen will be Dandelion, and Rose will be "Tulip".
"Uh why isn't my name Rose?" asked Rose.
"Because Rose is your real name." answered Alya
"It won't be a codename if we call you Rose" added Marinette.
Rose was thinking about that while Marinette continued with the plan. "This afternoon, Buttercup has a photo shoot at the Trocadero fountains."
Rose did not understand that part so Alix clarified by answering it was Adrien getting an Ah! from Rose.
Marinette further continued the plan. "His security guard, a.k.a. the Nanny, will be waiting for him in the car on the other side of the esplanade, in the chariot. He's supposed to take Buttercup back home after the photo shoot, except that's not gonna happen. This is where you guys come in."
All of the girls nodded in understanding as Marinette gave them their jobs. "Step one: "Rose" will have a fake "No Parking" sign. She'll go over to— "
"Um, who's "Rose" again?" Mylene interrupted.
"Me, of course!" said Rose clearly still not getting it.
"No, Rose. It's Juleka. You're Tulip, Violet, Sunflower, Dandelion, Rose, Tulip." answered Alya who then groaned that Rose still did not get it.
Marinette resumed with "So, step one: Rose (Juleka), you put the fake sign next to the Nanny's chariot. Step two: Sunflower, you'll go find a police officer and say to him: "Hello, Mr. Police-Officer. Oh, look! That car's parked illegally" and he will go over and make it leave. Step three: No more "Nanny". Step four: Tiger-Lily (Alya) pointed to herself when Marinette said this) will let us know as soon as Buttercup's (Adrien's) done with his photo shoot, instead of meeting up with the "Nanny", Adrien's gonna find...
"Lotus!" Interjected Alya
"That's Marinette!" assumed Rose getting a pat on the head from Juleka
"But when Buttercup (Adrien) sees that the chariot's (car's) gone, he'll just text his Nanny (bodyguard) won't he?" said Alix exposing the flaw in the plan.
Marinette answered with "Impossible. Buttercup (Adrien) always leaves his personal items in the car when he's on a photo shoot, even his phone! Such a professional!"
Alix whispers to Gwen "She knows everything about Adrien! Creepy, no?"
"Yeah kinda is." replied Gwen.
Marinette resumed once again "So then... This is where Tulip (Rose) springs into action! You give the signal to the rickshaw driver to come and park in the Nanny's car spot, then all I need to do is say to Adrien—"
"Bleblebleblebleble!" mocked Alix as she stuck her fingers in her mouth to show how Marinette can never talk straight around Adrien earning a laugh out of everyone.
"Your right that's usually how it goes." commented Alya
"But this time I'm really ready! I've got you guys with me. I'm gonna do it, I promise!" exclaimed Marinette in determination earning applause
"You're gonna be great!" cheered Mylene.
"Wooo! Yeah!" said Alix
"You've got this!" said Gwen
"We take a really romantic ride along the banks of the Seine and over the Pont des Arts bridge, where we just happen to run into Andre, the sweethearts' ice cream maker! Then, Violet (Alix) skates by and showers us with rose petals! It's gonna be perfect!" finished Marinette.
"It's...it's... so beautiful!" complimented Rose.
"Any questions?" asked Alya.
"Which flower am I, again?" asked Juleka
"You're Rose. That's right, right?" answered and asked Rose.
"Mm-hmm." confirmed Marinette getting a Yes! from Rose
"I also got a question." said Gwen
"Yeah Gwen?" asked Marinette
"Do you have a back up plan for when this plan goes off the rails? and what am I supposed to do?" Gwen asked.
"Oh I forgot thank you gor reminding me. You Dandelion (Gwen) are to fill in and make sure everything works as planned so basically you are my back up plan." answered Marinette.
"Any more questions?" said Marinette with no response
"Operation: Secret Garden", here we come!" shouted Marinette as all the girls put their hands together and raised them cheering.
Time skip to the Trocadero Fountains
"Come on, more happy! The smile like you're smelling a delicious lunch in ze kitchen! Ah! No, no! We need a... A lollipop!" exclaimed Adrien's photographer Vincent who then went to go get one. As he did so a mother and her baby in a stroller passed by Adrien who gave the baby a friendly wave when suddenly Vincent returned and said "There!" shoving the lollipop in Adrien's face whilst also grabbing the attention of the baby.
"lollipop, lollipop." the baby kept saying
"Now we have a good taste! Mm-hmm." said Vincent as he resumed taking pictures of Adrien.
"Lollipop! Lollipop!" cried the baby louder this time.
"No, August. Lollipops are not for babies. Your snack is a delicious bottle of milk." answered August's mother as she gave him a bottle.
While that was going on Alya was observing from above with binoculars she then said into an ear piece "Are all the flowers planted?"
"Rose planted." said Juleka
"Sunflower planted." said Mylene
"Tulip planted!" said Rose
"Dandelion planted and on standby." answered Gwen.
"Perfect go Rose (Juleka)" said Marinette.
"Uh, me?" asks Rose
"No, the other "Rose"!" answers Alya
Rose (Juleka) begins phase one but her no parking sign gets stuck in a manhole as she pushes it over.
"Um, you guys, I've got a problem." mumbled Juleka through the comms.
"Rose"? said Marinette
"Yeah, what? said Tulip (Rose)
"There's a problem. It's stuck in a grate." mumbled Juleka.
"Rose", louder!" ordered Marinette
"Yeah, what?!" exclaimed Rose triggering a lot of shushing from Marinette and Alya.
Juleka kept trying to get the sign out of the grate but had no luck.
"Guys this is dandelion (Gwen) moving in to help Rose." said Gwen through the comms.
"That's okay I don't need help." answered Rose
"No not you. Juleka!" said Gwen as she went over and helped Juleka lift the sign.
"Ugh what is this sign made of steel?" asked Gwen
"Metal, like, you know, the type road signs are made of. Why?" asked Marinette
"Couldn't you have made it out of cardboard or a lighter metal!? Sunflower you're up!" said Gwen as she and Juleka took the no parking sign off the stand and held it up by the Nanny's (Gorilla's) car while Juleka hid so as to draw less attention.
"On it" replied Sunflower (Mylene) as she went over to the cop.
"Excuse me Mr Police Officer." said Mylene as she tapped him on the shoulder.
"Ahh hello young lady what can I do for you?" asked the Officer
"I think that car over there is parked illegally." said Mylene as she pointed to the Gorilla's car by the fake no parking sign being held up by Gwen.
"Your right thank you young lady!" said the Officer as he tightened his cap and marched over to the car.
"Sir! Move this vehicle right away this is a no parking zone!" ordered the officer to the Gorilla who stuck his head out the car window to see Gwen holding it up with a nervous grin on her face.
The Gorilla growled in frustration and pulled his car out of the no parking zone while the officer returned to the other side of the street. After they left Gwen let the sign down and took a sigh of relief.
"Bravo Girls! Step Two, commence!" said Marinette through the comms as the baby August and his mother struggled to get up the stairs with him in the stroller and when he saw Adrien's lollipop again he began to bawl his eyes out with floods of tears as his mother reminded him he is too young for lollipops.
Marinette saw this and said "That poor lady she could really use a hand."
As Marinette got up to help Alya grabbed her hand and said "If you do that Adrien will see you."
Just then the mother gave baby August back his bottle which seemed to calm him down as they got to the second level of the stairs. Seeing this Marinette smiled and resumed hiding at the top of the stairs.
However that was not the end of the mother's struggle. As she began her uphill battle against gravity with the second set of stairs her phone fell out of her purse while she was gripping August's stroller.
Seeing this Marinette got up and went to help the woman despite Alya's protests for her to stay back. Marinette grabbed the phone and handed it back to the mother and said "Hello ma'am, Hello little baby." as she grabbed the bottom end of the stroller and helped the mother lift it and August up the stairs.
"Thank You so much." thanked August's mother.
However while Marinette was helping the mother Adrien's photoshoot just ended and Vincent sent him back on his way home.
"Look Out! Buttercup's (Adrien's) on the move!" exclaimed Alya through the comms.
Due to Murphy's Law as soon as they got to the top of the stairs baby August dropped his bottle and it fell back down the stairs. The same stairs Adrien had began to make his up.
Losing the bottle caused the spoiled brat August to throw a temper tantrum (cause seriously that baby is so loud and annoying its unrealistic) so Marinette went to retrieve despite the risk of running into Adrien and ruining the plan.
Fortunately Marinette was fast enough and got the bottle back to August just in time and was able to evade Adrien. She hid behind a column only to see the Nanny (Gorilla) return and re-park in the same spot since the sign was no longer up.
"Red Alert. The Nanny's (Gorilla's) back" panicked Marinette through her earpiece grabbing the attention of all the girls.
Mylene tapped the officer's shoulder again to show him the Gorilla had re-parked in the no parking spot with the no parking sign back up and being held by Juleka and Gwen.
"Hey you, mister! Over there! You've asked for it! I'm slapping you with a fine for a parking violation, for non-compliance with orders, and for infuriating a usually cheerful police officer!" complained the officer as he gave him three violations and abused his power.
The Gorilla growled taking the tickets and stomping down the Trocadero. As he stomped by August and his mother walked past with August still throwing a tantrum and not taking his bottle this time.
"You're being quite stubborn today August." complained August's mother.
Adrien had just made it to the top of the stairs only to see an akuma fluttering above and heading straight for his bodyguard! However at the sight of Adrien The Gorilla sighed in relief and calmed down causing the akuma to flutter away near baby August.
The akuma went inside August's wristband causing him to freeze and await Hawkmoth's orders. August said Haw-mo and lollipop right before transforming into a giant baby monster in a light purple onesie. He had a pacifier emblem on his chest, green eyes with purple irises, a mask that covered his head except his mouth with a green sprout of hair sticking through. He also wore two wristbands one green with some inscription on it and one blank pink one.
"Lollipop!" he cried as he finished his transformation and nearly stepped on his own mother if it wasn't for Marinette pushing her out of the way.
Alya tried to film it but was pulled away by Mylene. Gigantitan tried to eat a statue but was disgusted by it. He then grabbed Adrien's bodyguard and tasted him but also disliked the taste so threw him into a tree.
While Marinette rushed the mother away Adrien took cover to transform into Cat Noir not noticing Marinette was ever there.
All of the girls (minus Alix and Marinette) regrouped around the corner only for Rose to say " Girls, where's Lotus?"
No one remembered who had what codename anymore so they all gave her blank stares of confusion.
"Marinette! Where is she!" exclaimed Rose.
All the girls ran around the corner to see the giant baby Gigantitan.
"Hey Look!" said Mylene pointing to Gigantitan.
Seeing them Gigantitan crouched down to try and grab them but they all ran away screaming. Gwen running away from the others to go transform and call Ben.
Gigantitan was going to follow them but was distracted by a jingling sound. He turned to face it and saw it was Cat Noir jingling his bell on top the the monument.
"Well you're the biggest rug rat I've ever seen." joked Cat Noir.
"Kitty!" said Gigantitan as he tried to grab Cat Noir only for him to do a backflip.
"Let's go splish splash Megababy!" said Cat Noir before he bounced off Gigantitan's head and taunted him with "Can't catch me!" as he lead him into the fountain area whih everyone had already fled.
"Let's get our feet nice and wet. But we can't squish anyone, okay?" said Cat Noir as they entered the fountains
Marinette moved behind a shorter pillar to hide and transform
"Lure him to the river where there's nothing to destroy. Nice move, Cat Noir!" commented Marinette to herself
"Looks like that romantic outing with Adrien is on hold." said Tikki as she flew out of Marinette's purse.
"We'll be pausing for an epic battle with Cat Noir instead." responded Marinette as she called on her transformation sequence.
Gwen found a hidden alley that she ran into. She texted Ben the details of the situation, telling him to get over to the Trocadero fountains. Gwen transformed into Lucky Girl in a quick pink flash.
Lucky Girl ran out of the alley into the fountains to find Cat Noir in the grip of Gigantitan
"Well, hey there, kitty cat. I see you're not much of a natural with kids, are you?" said a voice. Lucky Girl looked down over the banister to see it was Ladybug
"Are you kidding? We were just playing a fun game of tag!" Using his staff, Cat Noir escapes from Gigantitan's hands and lands next to Ladybug.
"The akuma's probably in his bracelet." said Ladybug as she wrapped her yoyo around Gigantitan's wrists like handcuffs
A purple outline appeared over Gigantitan's face. "Gigantitan, watch out for the very naughty Ladybug!" warned Hawkmoth through their psychic connection.
Gigantitan raised his fist and flung Ladybug onto the roof of the Trocadero.
As she landed Ladybug struggled to regain balance but soon did. Cat Noir zipped up to her position saying "Whoa ho! How about that? You're not much of a natural with kids either. Nice flying."
"Ha-ha! For your information, I never babysat anything heavier than ten tons." retaliated Ladybug
Gigantitan was about to grab Ladybug, but Cat Noir pulled her away.
"Kitty." mumbled Gigantitan.
"How bout you two quit flirting and we take this thing down." said Lucky Girl coming up from the other side of the monument on a mana platform.
Ladybug and Cat Noir turned to face her. Ladybug with a bright red blush "We were not flirting!" shouted Ladybug.
Lucky Girl raised her hands in a no offense gesture and said "Sorry sorry. It's just the way you two act together it seems like you two are dating."
"Alas we are not, but that doesn't mean one day." said Cat Noir. Ladybug chose to ignore that comment thinking it was another of his flirts or jokes and wasn't being serious.
Ladybug wanted to change the topic so she turned to see Gigantitan was still trying to grab at them. In her eyes the bracelet (with inscriptions not the pink one) appeared to stand out and was the number one most likely place for the akuma to be hiding.
"Yes!" shouted Ladybug as she did a backflip and was going to try to break the bracelet off but Gigantitan threw her off and she landed at the base of the monument. Cat Noir and Lucky Girl landed beside her.
"Change of plans! To calm the baby down, just put him in a playpen." said Ladybug
"And exactly where are we gonna find a playpen his size?" asked Cat Noir
"The Eiffel Tower! We'll pen him up in there with my yo-yo string. Sing him some lullabies. You know some, don't you? We can read him a bedtime story! Make cooing noises. Coo Coo .Then when he's getting sleepy...BAM! You'll use your Cataclysm to destroy his bracelet!" suggested Ladybug
"Not a bad idea but there is one problem." said Lucky Girl
"How are we gonna get him there? Don't you have a simpler plan? How about your Lucky Charm?" said Cat Noir
"If this is too complicated then just follow what I do." finished Ladybug as they all leapt away from Gigantitan's grasp
"Yoohoo!" taunted Ladybug
"Over here little guy" called Cat Noir leading Gigantitan over to them with his hands.
"Once we get him in his playpen, I'll sing him a lullaby." said Cat Noir
"Uh, we want to calm the baby down, not burst his eardrums." replied Ladybug
"What? I have a great voice, you know? I'll meow you a serenade one of these days." punned Cat Noir earning a giggle from Ladybug.
"No need guys I can cast a sleeping spell on him which will knock jumbo diapers over here cold. But I need a clear shot at him" said Lucky Girl.
"We'll get you that shot." said Ladybug
"Lollipop, Lollipop!" shouted Gigantitan but then he stopped to play with a lollipop truck despite everyone trying to lead him towards themselves.
"We're losing him!" exclaimed Ladybug.
Gigantitan tried to grab a lollipop from the truck but his giant hands just squished it.
He was about to cry when suddenly he was hit in the back by a sonic howl! The blast knocked him down causing him to burst with tears until he heard a honking sound.
The sound was Cat Noir honking the horn of a car to grab Gigantitan's attention.
"What knocked him down?" asked Ladybug.
"I believe that's my backup." answered Lucky Girl.
As soon as she said that a giant wolf like figure landed in front of them. He had grey fur, a wolf like head and tail, green eyes, two toed toes, and wore some sort of green jumpsuit.
"You called or err I guess texted." said Benwolf scratching his back.
"Great that you're here Be-euhhhh." trailed off Gwen knowing if she called him Benwolf than his identity could be revealed.
"Eh uhhhh Blitze...Wolfer. Yeah Blitzwolfer." said Benwolf now known as Blitzwolfer.
"You just made that up right now didn't you." said Ladybug.
"No... Well maybe... So what if I did?" answered Blitzwolfer.
"Hey none of that matters right now. We need your help to herd this giant toddler underneath the Eiffel Tower." said Lucky Girl.
"Actually you go to the tower I'm sure he would be attracted to you since you do appear to be like a dog." instructed Ladybug
"On it!" said Blitzwolfer as he leapt off onto the Eiffel Tower.
Cat Noir had gotten Gigantitan distracted playing with a car like a toy. Ladybug and Lucky Girl ran up to him.
"I loved playing with cars when I was a kid, too." said Cat Noir
"Vroom! Vroom!" said Gigantitan as he rolled his car underneath the tower.
"Look! He's going to his playpen all by himself! Good job, kitty!" complimented Ladybug.
"Here we go!" shouted Ladybug as she began circling her yoyo around the Eiffel Tower to trap Gigantitan.
When he got to the tower Gigantitan immediately forgot about his car when he saw Blitzwolfer.
"Doggy!" said Gigantitan as he dropped his car and tried to grab him. Blitzwolfer jumped from the ledge he was perched on onto another one. Gigantitan tried to grab him again only for him to leap onto another column and this happened repetitively as Ladybug wrapped her yoyo around the tower.
"Whatever you guys are going to do. Do it quick I can't keep this up!" said Blitzwolfer as he dodged another one of Gigantitan's grabs.
Gigantitan was losing patience and noticed the yoyo ring Ladybug had made. He began pulling on the yoyo to tear it but it was only cutting the tower.
"Hurry, Cat Noir! Use your Cataclysm on his bracelet!" exclaimed Ladybug
"At your command M'lady." said Cat Noir igniting his Cataclysm power with "Cataclysm!"
Cat Noir leapt onto Gigantitan's wrist but was shaken off and launched into the distance.
The Eiffel Tower would have fallen down if Lucky Girl hadn't created magical support beams to keep it up. "Urgh I can't keep this up guys." said Lucky Girl as Gigantitan began crying and still struggling to break the yoyo.
"I got this!" said Blitzwolfer as he leaped onto the bracelet.
Gigantitan was too busy bawling to notice Blitzwolfer on his wrist trying to undo his bracelet.
"How do you get this thing off!?" shouted Blitzwolfer.
"Hit the button!" yelled Lucky Girl.
Blitzwolfer looked and saw the button Lucky Girl was talking about. He slammed him fist onto the button causing the bracelet to become loose and fall off.
Blitzwolfer leapt onto a pillar for a better angle and split his jaw into four parts (which disgusted Ladybug at first) and unleashed his sonic howl onto the fallen bracelet. The bracelet took a few seconds to crack but didn't shatter.
"My howl can't break it!" growled Blitzwolfer.
"I can smash it!" said Ladybug as she retracted her yoyo and tossed it into the air with a "Lucky Charm!" and out fell a war hammer.
"Well this is obvious" said Ladybug as she ran over (dodging Gigantitan's stomping feet.) and slammed the hammer into the bracelet shattering it and releasing the akuma.
One Miraculous Ladybug and departure of Blitzwolfer later...
"Hey, guys!" said Marinette as she approached her friends who had regrouped after the akuma.
They all spoke together saying " Marinette!,That was weird, I was so worried about you, Where were you?
"I was worried, too. I looked all over for you guys. I'm so glad everything worked out okay." said Marinette after a group hug
"All except for your date with Adrien." added Alya
"Oh yeah. Where did he go? and where's Gwen?" asked Mylene.
"I'm here!" shouted Gwen as she ran towards the group panting. Once she regained her breath she added "I ran and hid in an alley until it was clear. Also Adrien is right there."
"Maybe we can finish the job after all." suggested Alya.
"No. No more complicated plans. Sometimes it's best to just get straight to the point." said Marinette right before they all hid (except Marinette who just circled back around.)
"Adrien!" shouted Marinette from behind as he was approaching his car.
"Marinette! What are you doing here?" Adrien asked
From behind a pillar the girls were saying "Is she gonna do it?, It's just like a romantic movie!, Hope she can do it."
"I came here to do some sketching! I can't believe we've run into each other here! Hey, would you like to—?" Marinette was interrupted by Adrien's bodyguard honking his horn impatiently.
"-Hang pout? I mean, hang about? No, hag out? Oh, forget it. Better not keep your guard waiting." finished Marinette as she gave up.
"Uh, okay. But we can take you home if you wanted?" said Adrien
Marinette almost said yes but as usual her words got screwed up and she said "No, it's okay! I'll take a coleslaw home. Thanks!"
All of the girls were like are you kidding me or facepalming at that.
Adrien not sure how to respond to that said "Okay...enjoy your meal, then. See you at school tomorrow!" he finishes and his bodyguard drives him off.
Everyone comes out of hiding.
"Why did I say "no"? I'm so lame! I could have ridden home with him in his car!" complained Marinette about herself.
"Well, at least you managed to get a sentence out without losing your cool." complimented Alya
"One sentence out of three! Not bad!" added Rose
"You'll get there in the end." further added Mylene.
"Yeah. You'll tell him one day." finished Gwen
"Thanks, girls." said Marinette who was suddenly hit with rose petals from behind by Alix
"Don't tell me Buttercup (Adrien) left the flowerbed with the Nanny (The Gorilla)."
"Yep, but it's all good. Come on, BFF, let's take a ride on the "coleslaw"!" joked Alya as she hailed over the rickshaw.
"Please tell me I didn't say that!" groaned Marinette.
"Yeah!" said Mylene as they all got on the rickshaw.
Ok I know this is a kinda extra long chapter but most of it I just copied and pasted off of the miraculous wiki. Not really sure if I should do Glaciator next or an original chapter next. School starts for me soon so I may not be able to update as often so expect some less frequent updates. Anyways thanks for reading.
