Later that day Marinette goes to the art room and sits at one of the desk with Marc's book.
She opens the book to erase Marc's name on the front page. Then she closes the book and looks at Nathaniel with a mischievous smile across her face.
"Nate! Someone gave me this for you." Marinette said as she put the book down beside him.
"Who's someone?" nathaniel asked
"I can't tell you who just yet. (whispering) It's a secret." (starts running off, but turns around) Read it, and then we'll talk. (starts running again)
(Marinette takes a seat at a table and watches Nathaniel expectantly.)
"(gasps) Diary of Ladybug!? (covers mouth) Is this... for real?" nathaniel said in a low whisper.
(Looks over at Marinette, surprised. Marinette smiles back. Nathaniel turns back to the book.)
Nathaniel: (narrating) "I call up my lucky charm, while Cat Noir wields his Cataclysm." (voice slowly turns into Ladybug's)
Ladybug: (narrating) "And together, we defeat the Evillustrator. Pound it! But even though we've won this fight, something keeps bugging me. I can't stop thinking about him. I know his real identity, so sometimes, I try to catch a glimpse of him when I fly over his school."
(Nathaniel is sitting on the stairs, imagining the story play in front of him, looking to be in pure bliss. Marinette and Marc are hiding behind a staircase across the room, spying on him.)
"Do you think he likes it?" Marc ask.
"Look at his face, of course he does." marinette says.
"It's rude to spy on people." Adrien said
"Eh.. (quickly spins around) No! It's not what you think at all! It's just that... it's gonna be... eh... Nathaniel's birthday soon and, ehm, Marc and I wanted... to give him a disguise... I mean, surprise!" marinette said nervously.
Adrien:(Not buying it) "Cool!" (winks(!)) "Very typical of you, Marinette. Well, if you need any help with that, let me know." adrien said as he walked away.
"Sure won't! (higher pitched voice from embarrassment) Sure will.marinette said as she slumps a little.
"You're just as shy as I am, aren't you?" Marc said
"Just do as I say, not as I do, okay?" marinette said.
Later that day Marinette is awaiting Nathaniel at the entrance of the school.
Marinette: (To Nathaniel, who's reading as he walks out the school) "How's it going?" (Nathaniel goes up to her) "Nate? So.. what did you think?" marinette asked.
"It's seriously amazing! But how did you get a hold of it?" nathaniel ask.
"First, I need to know if you're willing to meet the person who wrote it and then trusted it to me." marinette said
He Looks suspiciously at Marinette before asking "Is it... who I think it is?" Nathaniel asked.
"I can't tell you anything. Please don't insist." marinette said.
"Sure (winks) of course." nathaniel said.
"Awesome! You're gonna make someone very happy." marinette said with a smile.
(Nathaniel tries to hand Marinette back the book.)
"You keep it. You can give it back to the author later today. In person." marinette said
Nathaniel: (to himself) It's my dream come true. "This isn't some kind of prank, is it, Marinette?" nathaniel asked.
"Meet at the Place des Vosges Square Fountain. Trust me, you will not be disappointed." marinette said as she left the school to go home.
Marinette is on her balcony when called Adrien.
"Hey Adrien would you like to Join in on a small harmless prank?" marinette asked
"sure what's the prank? Adrian asked.
"where going to prank Nathaniel and Marc at the park. He will think Marc Is ladybug and Marc will thing Nathaniel wants to make a comic book with him." marinette said
"Are you sure that's a good Idea for a prank it kinda sounds a bit sketchy to me. Adrien said.
Trust me this prank will be completely harmless." Marinette said confidently.
Alright I'll meet you at the park behind the bushes in front of the fountain." Adrien said
"Oh and Adrien do you mind filling up some water balloons with black and red paint I'm still working on the Cat Noir water balloons filled with black and green paint." marinette said.
"Sure I'm on it see you in a bit." adrien said as he hung up the phone and set out to fill the water balloons.
Marinette uses her phone's camera to zoom in on the park, where Nathaniel is arriving. She then leans her phone against a pot before running down the stairs. Marinette dashes through the bakery, picks up a giant tote bag filled with water balloons and rushed to the park.
Till I flys out of Marinette's bag.
"Final phase of operation "Comic Book prank",Tikki. Marinette said
"This will be better than reading a fairy tale ending." tikki I said before hiding in marinette's bag again.
Marinette hides behind a bush next to Adrien who has also brought his water balloons filled with red and black paint.
Nathaniel is walking to the fountain, looking around anxiously. He sees someone with a red hoodie on, he blushes.)
"Ladybug?" nathaniel says before realizing that it's not ladybug.
"Huh?" Marc says.
"What?! You're not Ladybug." Nathaniel says surprised.
"Of course I'm not, it's me, Marc. Didn't Marinette tell you?" Marc asked
"Marinette?" (He looks over to Marinette's balcony, to find out that she is not there.
"Alright now!" Marinette shouts as her and adrien pop up out of the bushes throwing the water balloons at Nathaniel and Marc.
"You were trying to make a fool of me, weren't you? (Points accusingly towards Marinette) Do you think it's funny to toy with my feelings?" I can't believe you all were in on this especially Adrien and Marc.
"No, not at all! I-I just want.. to make.. a comic book, if you want to, that is." Marc says shyly
A comic book? Us!? Together!? Never! Nathaniel says as he tears Marc's book in half.
"Ah!" Mac says.
(Nathaniel stomps off. Marc walks to the remains of his book.)
"Oh no!" Marinette and Adrien say as they run over to Marc.
"I really thought you were trying to help me Marinette and I should have never trusted you. I also can't believe you dragged Adrien into this lame prank.
(Marc sits on his knees, he starts sobbing.)
