Isekai'd as the new French Miraculous Superhero Team.
Chapter 11: Stormy Weather vs. Gentle Weather.
(Quantic Universe Earth 19274729568301958374, Paris, France, September 12th, 2015, third person POV...)
In the KIDZ+ Studio, Alec Cataldi says to the camera filming him, "Welcome to the finals of our KIDZ+ competition! Today, right here in this studio, one fortunate winner will be announced as our brand new KIDZ+ weather girl!"
Outside the studio, a limousine pulls up and Aurore Beaureal and Mireille Caquet exit.
Two crowds respectively chant Aurore and Mireille's names.
Aurore calls out, "Hi!" and she blows kisses to her fans.
Alec then says in the main studio, "We began with 5,000 contestants. But with the help of our audiences at home, we decreased our talent down to just these two amazing young ladies! So, let's welcome our fantastic finalists! To my right is Aurore Beaureal, and to my left is Mireille Caquet! But the question is, who precisely will be the fortunate winner? Vote now! Text 1 for Aurore, and text 2 for Mireille. And remember, standard text messaging rates apply."
Alec winks at the camera.
One half an hour earlier, in the Dupain-Cheng apartment, Marinette texts on her phone 1 to vote for Aurore.
Tom questions, "Why did you decline Ms. Chamack's offer of payment for babysitting Manon even though she hasn't called yet?"
Marinette answers while getting her point across, "I refused because I hate children, both in my old life and in this one. Simple as that. And besides that, I don't want Manon touching any of my stuff, no matter if it's a fashion commission or any of my toys. With 5 to 9 year old children like Manon regardless of how they're raised, I don't trust even Manon to be around my stuff without touching any of it without my permission."
Sabine then says, "The Marinette we knew before you revealed the truth about your origins and future would never hate children."
Marinette then glares so hard she shoots red laser bullets out of her eyes that make the water running in the sink turn hot for five seconds.
Tikki then says, "I think that this is another reason why we shouldn't make Marinette mad. No matter what kind of power she has."
Marinette then states, "But in all seriousness, I'd have to go through some serious issue purification to get me to love children like Marinette's canon counterparts do."
Tikki replies, "I might be able to help with that."
Tikki deploys her wings and she spreads her purification magic into Marinette/Mikaela, purifying her of the negativities that plagued them both for years.
Marinette remarks at the end, "Ah, that's much better."
Marinette hugs Tikki and feeds her a few seedless green grapes.
Later, Marinette is shown chasing Manon, who's apparently wearing the same hat Marinette was working on.
But what Manon doesn't know is that Marinette had previously made a fake hat to prank Manon and to unveil the actual hat as a combination of a prank and a magic trick.
Marinette states in fake pleading, "Come on, Manon, give that back!"
Manon climbs onto the sofa and replies, "But I want to be a fashion designer too!"
Marinette leaps to catch Manon, but Manon jumps out of the way as safely as possible, and at the last second, Marinette catches herself on her hands before flipping around and landing safely on her feet on the floor.
Manon remarks, "Whoa! I didn't know you were acrobatic!"
Marinette replies, "A girl's gotta learn a few tricks to protect herself from an attacker or a bully."
Marinette then continues "chasing" Manon as she states, "Now, come on, Manon, please! It's not finished and you'll ruin it! I've been working so hard on that hat!"
Manon giggles as she crawls underneath the kitchen table, but Marinette stops her at the other side, having anticipated Manon's escape route.
Marinette then remarks as she holds Manon, "Gotcha!"
Manon replies, "Aww, no fair!"
Marinette then takes back the hat and remarks, "Wanna see a magic trick?"
Manon replies, "Magic doesn't exist!"
Marinette explains, "That's what I used to believe when I was your age. But when the French Miraculous Superhero Team appeared to protect us from the evil Hawk Moth and when the superhero known as Ladybug made that press conference the day Hawk Moth and the superhero team showed up, that's when everyone in Paris realized that magic does indeed exist, and as long as any source of magic is in the hands of someone like Hawk Moth, they'd be committing lots of naughty crimes all in the name of being rich, being famous, getting revenge on anyone they believed wronged them, or generally just trying to revive someone they love from the dead, albeit going about it the wrong way. And besides that, any usage of supernatural magic comes with a price, such as extreme nausea, for one notable example."
Manon replies back with a wince on her face, "Good point."
Marinette then waves her hands in the same motions that Bunnyx used in the Timetagger episode before pulling out the real hat out of the back of her shirt.
Manon looks confused before seeing the tag on the fake hat that reads, "Bazinga!"
Manon looks shocked.
But after Marinette soothes Manon with an explanation that was truthful in the sense of being prepared to teach Manon a lesson in listening when someone says not to touch something that wasn't finished being made and listening when someone says not touch anything without permission which includes toys, but also based on the fact that Marinette wanted to practice a magic trick, Manon wasn't mad at Marinette before she could even think about scowling and tattling on Marinette to her parents and to Manon's mother Nadia Chamack. Albeit Manon doesn't know that alongside Marinette's parents, her own mother was in on the prank as long as she doesn't get involved. And who was Marinette to refuse?
Then, Marinette is seen giving an extra hat to Manon similar to the one she was working on and similar to the fake hat, albeit it was already finished 2 days ago.
Marinette then says, "Now, I'm gonna be honest, Manon; I used to not like children, but after having a wake up call, I realized that without children being born and maturing as they grow up, among other things, the greatest heroes of our world even before superheroes came into existence, including some of the most democratic world leaders who established freedoms in France and the United States, wouldn't've been able to pull off their greatest victories for justice and freedom."
Manon questions, "And would these heroes include superheroes?"
Marinette answers while preserving her Ladybug identity, "No, actually, superheroes came into existence in our modern lives starting back in the near-end of the Wild Wild West era, specifically the 1880s in New York City in the United States, with the original iterations of Knightowl and Sparrow who happened to be men and cowboys who abided by the law of New York in that time. With this kind of occurrence in the Wild West's near-end, that planted the seeds of the United States' future being full of superheroes to keep their country safe and to keep in contact with thousands of other superheroes stationed in various locations all around the world for reasons ranging from being friends to protecting us all from big ultimate threats that only the strongest heroes can go up against one on one and come out alive."
Manon questions teasingly, "You're a softie for big superhero men, aren't you?"
Marinette replies, "Actually, no. Superhero men might seem attractive on the outside, but that doesn't always mean that they're good people outside of their duties and vice versa. Like with Batman, for example. His civilian counterpart whose name is unknown might seem like a good person, but in real life, Batman has serious anger issues that tend to alienate him – or cause him to constantly argue with or fight almost all the time – with the people who try to help him in different ways. True, Batman's anger issues keep him from giving up on his crimefighting career, but there'll come a time when he truly crosses the line and either kills one of his enemies, or when he truly destroys the relationships he's built up from the beginning of his career. And even if he had come up with contingency plans to apprehend himself if he turns rogue, he's a master strategist, a master tactician, and a heavily-skilled martial artist. Therefore, any contingency plans of his to physically neutralize himself at the first sign of mental instability and the first sign he's gonna end up tarnishing his reputation permanently will be impossible to pull off unless you have the superior numbers that know his moves and happen to be skilled enough to surpass and outmaneuver his moves at every opportunity without giving him an opportunity to recover and counterattack."
Manon looks troubled before inquiring, "So, what do you like to do around here?"
Marinette answers, "Well, as you may have noticed in spite of my clothes, I spent years exercising."
Manon replies, "You exercise?!"
Marinette answers, "Why, yes. Ever since I turned 4 years old, I learned how to carefully exercise for beginners without hurting myself. And as the years passed, I was able to work out as much as I can do without getting exhausted easily and without getting hurt."
Manon smiles toothily.
Manon then smiles evilly as she sees Marinette staring off into space.
Manon sneaks a finger into Marinette's shirt and tickles her ribs on the inside of her shirt.
Marinette shrieks before saying seriously, "Ahh! Manon! You should know better than to tickle just about anyone. After all, not everybody likes being tickled these days, including me."
Manon giggles mischievously before tackling Marinette to the floor, pinning her to the floor, and proceeding to tickle Marinette's feet.
Marinette shrieks in laughter, "AHHH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! MANON! STAHAHAHAHAHAP! I'M SERIOUS! AH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! STAHAHAHAHAHAP, THAT TICKLES SO MUCH!"
Manon replies, "Nope!"
Marinette continues laughing hysterically before managing to get Manon off by tickling her in retaliation.
After 3 minutes, the two girls were catching their breath while Marinette puts her shoes and socks back on.
Manon asks out of breathily, "Was that... fun, Marinette?"
Marinette replies out of breathily, "No... it wasn't. I told you... I don't like... being tickled... especially on my feet."
Manon replies back, "I'm sorry, Marinette... I had... no idea you... don't like being tickled."
Marinette replies back again, "I know, Manon. It's just, in my childhood years, specific boys from my elementary schools used to tickle me all the time whenever I did something that upset them or whenever they beat me in a game or whenever it was the other way around."
Marinette knew that this was only 50% a lie as two of the first boys in question were also bullies who had tickling fetishes and who eventually had to be sent to reform school because they always relapsed after a set amount of time for punishment, but as Manon was still 5 years old and was extremely hyperactive, that combined with her baby doll eyes, her easy sensitivity to being lied to, her mindset of being a tattletale to any adults about something Marinette did that she wasn't supposed to – despite the fact that Marinette was now 99% a good girl thanks to Tikki's purification powers – Manon's inability to keep secrets despite what her mother has taught her for months about keeping secrets, and Manon's inability to keep her emotions in check made Mikaela and Marinette realize that there was a 100% certainty that Manon would snitch to practically everyone – figuratively and literally – about Marinette's original identity and original life from another Earth, Marinette's current superhero identity, and so forth if Manon ever found out about any of it.
Manon states, "I'm sorry you went through that, Marinette."
Marinette replies again, "Don't worry, Manon; the boys responsible have long since been punished and put on strict adult supervision in their activities to prevent those incidents from happening again."
Manon nods in understanding before hugging Marinette, who hugs her in response.
Manon could easily feel Marinette shedding tears, but she decides not to question it until she's ready.
Just then, the doorbell rings.
After wiping her tears, Marinette then says before asking while handing Manon a banana, "I'll go see who it is. You're not allergic to bananas, are you?"
Manon replies, "No."
Manon takes the banana as Marinette looks through the peek hole to see Alya standing there.
Marinette opens the door and says crisply, "I'm in the middle of babysitting; if you wanted me to say aloha to Adrien in the park, you could've called me. After all, phone first."
Alya widens her eyes before asking, "Okay, I should've called, I get that. But how did you know I was gonna tell you about Adrien being in the park for a photoshoot?"
Marinette answers, "Adrien and I are closely knit in the sense that he lets me know when his photoshoots are taking place and how long they last in a day so that way we can try to pull together plans for quality time with either each other or with our classmates, including you, Nino, and Chloe. And, with Adrien and his father respectively giving me their express permissions, I have Adrien's schedule alongside the schedules of everyone in the class for letting even your parents know and letting our teachers know whenever one of us has anything important happening on a specific or non-specific day, such as dentist appointments, dietician appointments, family gatherings, family funerals, and even sick days that are also used for attending funerals. And I actually get paid for it."
Alya remarks, "Wow! That's awesome, girl! If you ask me, I'd say you're like a Clock Queen."
Marinette bursts out laughing at that.
Manon questions while holding a half of her peeled banana, "Uh, who's she?"
Marinette replies, "Oh, where are my manners? Manon, this is Alya Cesaire, one of my new friends at school starting this year. Alya, this is Manon Chamack, the only daughter of new reporter Nadia Chamack, one of my mom's college friends."
Manon states, "It's good to meet you, Alya."
Alya replies, "Nice to meet you too, little angel."
Manon giggles as she blushes slightly.
Marinette then says to Alya, "And Alya, sorry, but I can't go say hi to Adrien. According to a little bird, the next Akumatized supervillain might trap all 4 of us in an ice dome with sharp icicles because of their ability to manipulate and control the different types of weather."
Of course, what Alya and Manon don't know is that Fanette was perfectly disguised as Marinette while the real Marinette in Ladybug form was at the KIDZ+ Studio with the entire team except for Cat Noir, waiting for the announcement of the winner to kick Alec extra hard in the nuts for not listening to Marinette the last time he acted insensitively to the point where someone got Akumatized. And also because, as this wasn't the Lady Wi-fi incident according to the corrected chronological order of Miraculous Ladybug, including webisodes, Alya doesn't know Marinette's identities or know about her armies of clones. Yet.
Manon then runs off, and Fanette catches Manon before saying sternly, "Sorry, Manon, but as long as you're under my care while your mommy is working, you follow my rules, or else I won't babysit you anymore, and well, I happen to be a bit of a tattletale myself."
Manon shivers at Fanette's cold tone and her evil grin.
Alya remarks, "Girl, where did you become so firm and yet scary to and with children?"
"Marinette" answers, "Well, I grew up in an environment where even though my parents worked in our bakery, they were still strict with me like the parents of a wealthy child or like the parents of a child in a constitutional monarchy. In other words, the child of a country's king and queen, like in Great Britain, Spain, Belgium, Norway, Thailand, Denmark, The Netherlands, etc. So therefore, I learned particularly from my mom how to be fair but firm with children, but I gotta warn you, until Hawk Moth is thrown in jail, being firm with kids even without going too far can easily result in a single kid being Akumatized."
Alya looks shocked at that, and so, at that prompting, Fanette explained to Alya and to Manon – albeit without going into too much details – about the ways a child can become Akumatized regardless of how young or how old they are. And to say that this gave Alya some form of a reality check in this time and age with a magical terrorist on the loose would be the biggest understatement of the year 2015.
Meanwhile, at the KIDZ+ Studio, Alec says while Ladybug slinks downward behind the camera crews like Copperhead from Batman Arkham Origins, but with her invisibility power on, "This is the moment we've been waiting for, viewers! The viewers at home have made their choice, and the new KIDZ+ weather girl is..."
The votes are shown onscreen, and Mireille has significantly more votes than Aurore.
Alec finishes, "...Mireille!"
Aurore gasps in shock.
The crowds cheer and applaud.
Ladybug gets her live-streaming camera ready and she gets closer to Alec as he remarks while slinging his right arm around Aurore's shoulders, "Man, she crushed you, eh? Better luck next time!"
Ladybug replies while being loud enough for everyone to hear, "I think not!"
She decloaks and her camera drone is hovering next to her.
Everyone takes note that Ladybug has her helmet off and she's scowling.
Alec starts to remark, "Ladybug?! Here in the studio?! What an honor – "
But Ladybug kicks Alec hard in the nuts, making him shriek in pain and making everyone gasp in shock.
Ladybug snarls, "Now listen and listen good because I hate repeating myself! You should know better than to mock people just because you were mocked as a kid for having an Afro hairstyle in red before you shaved it completely! Your insensitivity can easily lead to people like Aurore Beaureal getting Akumatized over and over again like a broken record, and that can easily make the jobs of my team and our allies stationed in Paris so far extremely hard before we can potentially find a way to divide the workload with our commando squads! And besides that, if you ever got Akumatized yourself, I'd personally see to it that I strangle you with my yoyo before purifying any Akumas infecting you!"
Everyone in the studio gasps in shock. Particularly to note, even though he's attending a photoshoot in the Place des Vosges, Adrien was shocked and horrified at hearing with his super hearing about the girl he loves acting like a combination of a Mary Sue, a different version of the famous Madea Simmons, and different kinds of fictional supervillains, anti-villains, and antiheroes who tend to treat their armies and/or their families and friends like garbage while still getting the points across about their flaws and how those flaws affect the people around them.
Dutifully aware that everyone across the city is watching, and dutifully aware that Aurore was still watching from off-stage, Ladybug continues, "You deserve much worse than a simple knee to your b's, so I'm gonna say this only once: either you stop mocking people to the point of getting them Akumatized and you stop being insensitive in general, or I'll make sure that any form of dirty evidence of your actions from behind closed doors that have been going on for years will be personally leaked onto the internet, and I'll make sure you're out of a job and in a horribly uncomfortable jail cell for up to 30 years! Do I make myself clear?!"
Alec cringes in pain before answering, "Crystal clear, madam."
Ladybug replies, "Good."
Ladybug flies out of the studio with ease.
Aurore, meanwhile, is watching the whole thing with evil satisfaction but she's still mad that she lost and that Alec was insensitive again.
Aurore makes her way to the second elevators on the other side of the building, not wanting to be anywhere near Alec while she still has the chance to celebrate her victory, howsoever small it is.
Meanwhile, in an alleyway not too far from the Grand Palais, Purple Streak senses the positive feeling of jubilance from weather meteorologist Adelisa Blatrix, who was feeling jubilant about getting promoted soon.
Purple Streak takes a Tenshi out of her cane and says, "Fly off, my little Tenshi, and Championize her."
The Tenshi flies off and splits itself in two to merge with Adelisa's sun umbrella and microphone.
Purple Streak remarks, "Gentle Weather, I am Purple Streak. The French Miraculous Superhero Team needs your help to deakumatize this new supervillain: Aurore Beaureal, also known as Stormy Weather. Her Akumatized object is her parasol umbrella that allows her to manipulate the weather to create bad weather such as freak lightning storms, hurricanes, hailstorms, heat waves, and blizzards. Will you help us, Gentle Weather?"
Adelisa/Gentle Weather replies, "Yes, Purple Streak."
Adelisa transforms into Gentle Weather, an armored opposite color version of Stormy Weather, albeit with her face paint mask being in the shape of a ladybug instead of a butterfly.
Gentle Weather takes flight and meets up with Purple Streak for further debriefing.
In Hawk Moth's lair, the window opens as Hawk Moth remarks, "The vibrations are so powerful. I can feel the instantaneous anger and sadness. The moment of weakness for my next victim... Such simple pray for my Akumas. And even though Ladybug can easily give me the perfect opportunity to Akumatize Alec Cataldi, I can get on just fine with this weather girl competition loser."
Hawk Moth charges a butterfly with energy, turning it into an Akuma.
Hawk Moth sends it out without saying anything for one of the first and only times he does so.
In the building, Aurore enters the elevator.
Aurore snarls, "I should've won. I have the talent for it, the star looks, everything! But she took everything away from me. They took everything away from me! Even Alec before he got kicked hard in his chops! They – "
But her rant is cut short when the power suddenly does down, stopping the elevator in its tracks.
Aurore exclaims, "Ah!" as the elevator jerks to a stop.
Aurore shrieks, "Ah!" again as she sees the Akuma squeezing its way through the crack lines between the closed elevator doors, displaying a semblance of nigh-invulnerability.
Aurore swings her parasol at it while shrieking, "Ngh! Ah!"
She opens her parasol, and that proves to be a fatal mistake as the Akuma infects it.
She stands up as the power in the elevator turns back on.
As the butterfly symbol appears, Hawk Moth remarks telepathically, "(From his lair) So correct you are. You should have won, right?"
Aurore replies darkly, "Yes, I should've won!"
Hawk Moth remarks before saying, "Stormy Weather, I am Hawk Moth. I'm giving you the power to seek revenge on those thieves as my weather girl. All you have to do is bring me the Miraculouses. Can you do that?"
Aurore/Stormy Weather replies, "Yes!"
Aurore is turned into Stormy Weather.
The elevator doors open as Stormy Weather walks forward, and Hawk Moth says telepathically, "(From his lair) That's my weather girl. Show the world who the best weather girl really is!"
Meanwhile, in the Place des Vosges, Adrien is having a photoshoot.
Adrien poses for 4 pictures as the real Marinette in disguise enters the park because of Alya, Fanette, and Manon coming to the park.
The photographer Vincent remarks, "Magnifico! Super! Come on now, I want to see hunger in your eyes..."
Marinette mentally grumbles, "This is one of the most bizarre and one of the worst fashion photographers in the world at the same time if I ever saw one."
Fanette, Alya, and Manon initiate their plan flawlessly, and Adrien sees them before waving at them.
The three girls wave back before continuing on their way.
Of course, even Alya doesn't notice as the real Marinette in disguise sits on one of the benches, pulls out her Air Pods, connects them to her phone's Bluetooth, puts on her Air Pods, selects one of her favorite songs, and plays it, listening to the music while keeping an eye out for anything out of the ordinary and for anyone looking at her suspiciously.
Meanwhile, in the KIDZ+ building, Mireille is waiting for an elevator, holding her trophy.
The elevator opens, and Mireille enters.
Once at a lower level, Mireille is about to exit the elevator when she sees Stormy Weather standing there, much to Mireille's shock and horror.
Stormy Weather cackles as she says, "Hahahahahaha! I am Stormy Weather, the only weather girl who always gets the forecast right the first time around! And unfortunately for you, there's a freak icy front moving in right now!"
Stormy Weather aims her parasol and fires a blast of ice.
Mireille shrieks as she pounds on the ice, "(Muffled) Somebody get me out of here! Help! Help!"
Meanwhile, at the Place des Vosges, Vincent says as he takes pictures of Adrien from different angles, unknowingly being controlled into saying something other than spaghetti courtesy of the real Marinette's power of speech control, "Bravo! That's it! Now, give me the smile you show when your mom brings you pizza on her way home from work! Okay! And now, oh, no! Mama bought you the right pizza with the wrong ingredients! And now, you have to fend for yourself! Oh yes, you're outraged! Show me outraged! Yes, yes, yes!"
Marinette quietly chortles.
As Fanette, Alya, and Manon leave the park, Manon spots a series of balloons for sale.
Manon says, "Marinette, I want a balloon with Mireille on it! Can I have one, please?"
Fanette replies immediately, "Yes, but remember, balloons cost money, and this balloon you want is being bought with my money from my own pocket. So, whatever you do, don't let go of it outside, and don't let anyone pop it. Because if you do, I'm not buying you another one. Understood?"
Manon nods.
Fanette and Manon go to buy the balloon.
Marinette states quietly, "(Softly) Heh heh heh. My decision to wish for my ability to create my clones has just provided me with another benefit: me not having to deal with Manon and other kinds of needy, hyperactive, snitchy, disobedient 5 year old children. Children like Manon Chamack, Ella Cesaire, Etta Cesaire, Chris Lahiffe, and so forth can be such bothersome guests depending on how they're raised."
Tikki whispers in response, "(Softly) That much is true, Marinette, but don't forget that raising children properly can provide beneficial results, even if the results are not always going to be changing ancient laws or winning a war for the heroes' side."
Meanwhile, outside the KIDZ+ building, Stormy Weather exits the building as the gathered crowd chants Mireille's name.
Stormy Weather briefly cackles as she spreads her arms wide.
Everyone looks at Stormy Weather in bemusement and confusion.
But then, one civilian unwisely asks, "Where's Mireille?"
Stormy Weather growls as she replies, "Ugh... For all of you who voted for Mireille, I'd heavily advise you all to move indoors, because it's gonna get very blustery!... Oh wait, too late!"
Stormy Weather swings her open parasol, unleashing strong gusts of cold wind that blows several civilians away, potentially wounding them and potentially killing the children in the crowds on impact with the ground or buildings.
Then, Stormy Weather takes flight.
Meanwhile, at the Place des Vosges, Fanette then says, "All right, Manon, let's go."
Manon replies, "I want to go on the merry-go-round!"
Fanette points out while showing Manon her almost empty wallet, "I don't have enough money to take you to the merry-go-round."
Manon replies, "You promised! You aren't going to break your promise, aren't you?"
Fanette replies back, "Maybe you haven't gotten the motto from your mother, but I don't make promises. Besides, sometimes, outside of when things happen like your babysitters run out of money for whatever you want, promises can't be kept so easily. Besides, sometimes it's easier to make promises than it is to keep them."
Manon flashes her baby doll eyes even bigger, but Fanette doesn't flinch.
Marinette then sighs in exasperation as she gets up and removes her hoodie to reveal her flawless disguised self.
Marinette's disguised self has a purple short sleeve shirt, a pair of green cargo shorts, a pair of orange combat boots, and her eye and hair colors are in opposite colors, minus her eyes potentially being yellowish-orange.
Marinette approaches the girls and remarks in a Scottish accent, "Pardon, my young lads, but what is going on here?"
Fanette plays along as she replies, "I tried telling Manon here that I don't have enough money to take her to the merry-go-round, but she's flashing her baby doll eyes as a form of pleading, signifying to me that she's not listening."
Marinette frowns at Manon and points out, "Young girl, if your babysitter tells you and shows you that they don't have enough money for any fun activities you want to do, you should listen to them."
Manon complains, "But I want to go on the merry-go-round!"
Marinette firmly replies, "Listen, Manon, in life, no matter if your babysitter is rich or poor, you can't always get what you want. And even if your babysitter had enough money to take you to the merry-go-round, it won't help you if you keep asking and complaining."
Manon lets loose a few tears before saying in a cracked voice, "You're right. I don't know what came over me."
Marinette replies gently, "What's important is showing a bit of faith and being patient. Simply because, as I've learned in my life before I moved here, all good things come to those who wait patiently and with no complaints. If you wait long enough for the next time your babysitter takes you to the park, she may have enough money to take you to the merry-go-round. But don't take my word for it."
Manon replies as she gets a hold of herself, "O-okay."
Fanette states, "Thank you, ma'am."
Marinette replies, "You are most welcome, young lady. Well, I must be on my way."
Marinette leaves the park, and as soon as she detects no one watching or filming, she immediately disappears in some shadows and light until she winds up on her balcony.
Shedding her disguise, Marinette declares, "Tikki, spots on!"
Marinette transforms into Ladybug.
Ladybug flies to the park and sees Stormy Weather flying from the opposite direction.
Ladybug quickly turns invisible just as Stormy Weather appears.
Stormy Weather ends up seeing banners of Mireille and even a balloon of the girl that a small boy accidentally let go of.
Stormy Weather growls again, "Ughhh!"
The boy in question cries, secretly annoying even Ladybug.
The balloon salesman states while handing another Mireille balloon, "Here's another one!"
Stormy Weather flies fast and electrocutes the boy, his mother, and the salesman, instantly killing them.
Ladybug decloaks and roars as she flies towards Stormy Weather fast enough to deliver a super strong Superman punch that sends a shockwave through the air as Stormy Weather helplessly flies away.
Ladybug then says while making creation magic flow out of her hands, "Miraculous Resurrection!"
She resurrects the dead victims, and her team shows up alongside Gentle Weather, Purple Streak's opposite to Stormy Weather who can negate Stormy Weather's powers.
Everyone looks to see Ladybug hugging the young boy who was thanking her profusely for saving him, his mother, and the balloon salesman.
Marinette's second clone by the name of Maristela Dupain-Cheng comes up to Alya and sits next to her while eating an orange.
Meanwhile, Vincent is still photographing Adrien, and he appears to be going strong.
But then, Adrien yawns unexpectedly.
Vincent remarks, "No, no, no! Ze boy has eaten too much spaghetti! Ugh, we need more energy... more romance! We needz... a girl!"
He looks around and sees "Marinette" and Alya sitting next to each other, with Alya eating an apple and Maristela still eating an orange.
Vincent runs to Maristela and says, "You, I need an extra."
Maristela questions, "And you require my assistance?"
Vincent replies, "Si, to pose with Mr. Adrien!"
Maristela throws out her orange and replies, "Sure!"
Maristela gets in position and just as Vincent was going to give orders, Stormy Weather shows up and yells, "LADYBUG!"
Ladybug growls and takes flight.
Ladybug states, "Why sign up with Hawk Moth?! I already had Alec Cataldi on thin ice for being insensitive to the point of causing you to show up!"
Stormy Weather replies darkly, "Well, you may have kicked Alec hard in his chops, but the rest of the studio still took everything away from me!"
Ladybug crosses her arms as she points out, "I literally counted the votes before they were announced, and it was a fair vote, fair and square."
Stormy Weather blasts Ladybug with a freeze beam, but her armor thaws the beam in a heated force field.
Ladybug remarks, "Hmhm, is that all you got?"
Stormy Weather growls as she tries to blast Ladybug with a gust of wind, but her wings held strong.
Just then, Purple Streak uses sleight of hand to steal the parasol and Stormy Weather shouts, "Hey! Give that back!"
Purple Streak replies while flying away, "You're gonna have to catch me first!"
Stormy Weather takes off in pursuit.
Just then, Adrien pulls a switcheroo with his clone to transform into Cat Noir.
Adrien Clone 1 says, "Vincent, we need to get to safety and wait until that supervillain is properly taken care of before we can even think about finishing the photoshoot."
Vincent replies, "Si, you are correctamundo, Mr. Adrien."
Vincent, Placide, and Adrien Clone 1 manage to get to safety.
Meanwhile, Stormy Weather flies after Purple Streak, but the butterfly hero shows that regardless of her techno-organic wings, she can fly as equally fast as a DC Comics Kryptonian.
Ladybug spots Alya, Fanette, and Manon in an ice dome around the merry-go-round.
Ladybug then calls out into her walkie-talkie, "Superman, can I please have some help melting an ice dome imprisoning civilians in the merry-go-round?"
Superman's clone comes up and replies, "With pleasure."
Superman melts the ice with his heat vision and the girls quickly exit before the ice could reform.
Manon states, "Thank you, Superman!"
Superman nods.
Manon approaches Ladybug and states, "Thank you for everything, Ladybug."
Ladybug hugs Manon, making the child awkwardly hug her back.
Ladybug then says, "You three get to safety."
Alya, Fanette and Manon scramble to the Dupain-Cheng bakery.
Meanwhile, Stormy Weather is furiously fighting Gentle Weather while Purple Streak escapes with Stormy's parasol.
As Stormy Weather manages to get Gentle Weather off-guard with an uppercut and a throw into the nearest building, Cat Noir remarks, "Hey, Ice Queen! What's with all the terrorizing? Why don't you pick on someone your own temperature?"
Stormy Weather snarls, "My name is not Ice Queen! It's Stormy Weather!"
Ozzy Bubba then remarks before bursting into song, "Well, I don't know about that. #Can we forget about the things I said when I was drunk?# #I didn't mean to call you that!#"
Screechclaw calls out, "Hey! Save your singing talent for when we're out of the woods, and save the jokes for after the battle is over!"
In no time, Stormy Weather started to get annoyed by the three-way argument about priorities.
Just as Stormy Weather was going to snatch back her parasol from Purple Streak as she was watching the whole argument, Gentle Weather suddenly froze Stormy Weather in place and gently lifted her down to the ground.
Ladybug shows up and before she can do anything, Stormy Weather unfreezes herself and blows away everyone across the city.
For Cat Noir, he ends up blown away and he ends up unwillingly banging against two cars in the same position on different lanes like a pinball.
Cat Noir slumps grumpily on the floor.
Ladybug flies over with Moon Wolf and Platinum Condor.
Ladybug says, "I hope you didn't antagonize Stormy Weather; the angrier an Akumatized villain gets, the more the chances their powers get stronger increases a thousand fold."
Cat Noir replies, "Whoa. I didn't know that."
Moon Wolf adds, "Yeah, me neither."
Cat Noir then stands up, and Ladybug then says, "Now, just so you know, our relationship in public must be kept purely professional; we can't let personal matters like our love lives interfere with our jobs. I get that you love me, Kitty, but our relationship and our workload don't add up to squat if you don't know how to keep professional matters and personal matters apart."
Cat Noir nods reluctantly.
Just then, Stormy Weather flies over and remarks, "We should be expecting severe lightning storms, like, right NOW!"
Stormy Weather fires a lightning bolt into the sky, and the sky darkens into thunder clouds.
Then, a purple lightning bolt from the sky zaps downward to where Ladybug, Moon Wolf, Platinum Condor, and Cat Noir are.
Cat Noir screams as the lightning bolt is about to hit him, but Ladybug blocks the lightning bolt with a wave of her hand.
Even Cat Noir was surprised at the kind of power his girlfriend has.
Stormy Weather exclaims, "What?!"
Ladybug remarks, "You're not the only one who can control the weather! And speaking of which..."
Ladybug's hands flow with blue, red, white, and jet-black electricity as she holds her hands over her head, palms apart with her fingers stretched in a spread claw pose, before she thrusts her hands down while keeping her palms facing upward and her elbows bent at 60 degrees and standing in a standing upright squatting position with her right leg in front and her left leg kept in the neutral position, her feet firmly planted on the ground, summoning a blue, red, white, and jet-black inFAMOUS-style Lightning Storm that sweeps across the street to where Stormy Weather is.
Stormy Weather dodges the lightning sweep and exclaims, "Whoa! I didn't expect Ladybug to have so many powers in addition to her Lucky Charm and Miraculous Ladybug!"
Ladybug cackles, "Hahahahahahahahahaha! And unfortunately for you both, a magician never reveals their secrets to anyone!"
Ladybug fires lightning blasts out of her palms, but Stormy Weather dodges the lightning blasts.
Just then, an even bigger purple lightning bolt zaps downward to Ladybug, but she flies out of the way and lands next to Cat Noir.
Cat Noir remarks, "You've just won yourself a cat fight!"
Ladybug, Cat Noir, Moon Wolf, and Platinum Condor rush over to Stormy Weather.
Stormy Weather says sinisterly, "Black ice!"
She zaps the street ahead and turns it into ice with her parasol.
However, much to Stormy Weather's surprise and further frustration, the four heroes manage to activate ice skates in their boots and they flawlessly skate across the frozen road.
Stormy Weather creates another wind blast, but the heroes activate their secret jetpacks to resist the wind blast.
But unfortunately, Ladybug didn't take into account how powerful the wind blast really was.
Several cars get blown away and she starts to feel her jetpack short-circuiting.
Ladybug anchors herself to a street lamp with her yoyo, and she catches Cat Noir by his belt-tail as he gets blown back.
Moon Wolf anchors himself to the ground with his metal staff that can turn into an Italian Long Sword while Platinum Condor keeps his wings flapping while anchoring himself to another lamppost using his quad-chained battle mace that can also transform into a German Boar Sword.
In no time, Stormy Weather stops the wind blast and turns her attention away from the heroes.
The heroes take the chance to recuperate.
Ladybug growls viciously, knowing that even with her preparations, Stormy Weather was going to be a much bigger problem than before.
Down the street, Stormy Weather blows away cars, but then she sees a screen with Mireille's face on it and blasts it to smithereens.
Stormy Weather doesn't notice as the four heroes now reinforced with the arrivals of Screechclaw, Ozzy Bubba, Milo Tigger, Roadkill, Beck Dollarbird, and Gunner Claws, start catching up.
Cat Noir says while cracking his knuckles, "A little bit of the old Cat Noir bam and pow will take the wind out of her sails!"
Ladybug steps in front of Cat Noir before he can start running and she says, "Whoa, hold your horses, Catty. You gotta look before you leap, and charging headfirst into a fight without a plan always leads to people getting hurt or killed."
Cat Noir slumps before asking, "You're right. What's the plan?"
Ladybug replies, "Follow my lead; we'll use feint-and-strike attacks and stealth attacks to catch her off-guard."
Ladybug runs along the face of a building, prompting Cat Noir and the others to do so likewise either on the same building or on the building on the other side of the street.
But the noise attracts Stormy Weather's attention as she groans, "Ugh..."
Ladybug jumps high into the air and uses light to blind Stormy Weather and conceal herself, making Stormy Weather shriek in pain and panic from the light almost blinding her.
Cat Noir jumps low to the ground and quietly runs on all fours to get behind Stormy Weather.
The other heroes jump high into the air and are about to slam their weapons down on Stormy Weather's head, but Stormy Weather snarls, "Not you guys again!"
She fires a wind blast at them, but unfortunately for the Akumatized Aurore Beaureal, Moon Wolf and Platinum Condor dodge the wind blast and they get their weapons activated in their non-lethal weapon configurations before attacking Stormy Weather.
Stormy Weather blocks both attacks in unison, but she appears to be straining.
Platinum Condor takes the time to scratch Stormy Weather's face above her mouth and away from her eyes, making her drop her defense to grab her face in pain.
Moon Wolf slams his staff into Stormy Weather's ribs before smacking her in the sides and stomach with it.
Platinum Condor capitalizes on this assault to smack Stormy Weather in the face with his mace before tying up her hands with the chains to slap her in the face and kick her in the stomach.
Stormy Weather roars, "ENOUGH!" and she spins around hard enough to free herself and throw the two heroes off and away from her.
Ladybug then lassos Stormy Weather's hands together and starts tickling her sides.
Stormy Weather starts laughing hysterically, "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! STOP! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! HEY! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! DON'T DO THAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAT! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! THAT TICKLES! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Ladybug continues mercilessly tickling Stormy Weather, but then, the Akumatized weather girl manages to find a small spot under Ladybug's right armpit that wasn't covered in armor but was still hard enough to resist physical damage before tickling that spot in retaliation, making Ladybug shriek in laughter.
In no time, Stormy Weather started mercilessly tickling Ladybug in retaliation, making her lower her guard to freeze her in ice.
Stormy Weather remarks with a sneer, "That'll teach you to tickle me!"
Then, seeing the other heroes converging on top of her fast and somehow sensing Cat Noir behind her, Stormy Weather fires a super powerful wind blast that sends them all flying while sending Ladybug flying along with several vehicles.
But then, just before Ladybug can hit the ground, she shatters her ice prison with a roar of furious rage the equivalent of the Transformers Prime Predaking in dragon mode.
The heroes land safely before dodging all of the blown away vehicles.
Cat Noir finds himself in the middle of two cars on both sides of him before crashing together, and he manages to escape before he could get crushed by the cars about to fall on him.
Ladybug flies over the vehicles landing and attempting to crush her.
Everyone else either dodged the vehicles, sliced them to pieces, or blew them up with their gunpowder and laser weaponry.
Ladybug and the heroes converge, but then they spot an incoming flying bus about to flatten them.
Ladybug takes out a rocket launcher and she blows the bus apart.
Ozzy Bubba asks sternly, "Wasn't that a bit extreme, sweetie?"
Ladybug retorts, "Would you rather I cut a hole big enough for only me and Cat Noir to fit?"
Ozzy Bubba sighs heavily before replying, "Good point."
Meanwhile, in the Place des Vosges, Superman is using his heat vision to melt the ice around the merry-go-round, and he succeeds.
Superman says to Officer Raincomprix, "Well, the good news is that Ladybug got everyone out of the merry-go-round in time. But the bad news is I'm almost depleted of solar energy to fuel my powers. I need to expose myself to sunlight."
Officer Raincomprix looks confused, but Supergirl comes up and explains briefly, "Our Kryptonian race gets our powers from the Earth's gravity and the rays of the Earth's young yellow sun. Without the light of the Earth's sun, our powers would end up running on empty and we'd be vulnerable to anyone on Hawk Moth's side willing to take advantage of that moment of vulnerability to kill us."
Officer Raincomprix replies, "Ohhh. Okay. Head up into the farthest parts of the sky to find sunlight, but don't take too long; we could use your help further in helping people get to safety in case Stormy Weather creates more bad weather."
Superman and Supergirl nod in unison before taking off into the air to expose themselves to sunlight so they can recharge their powers.
Meanwhile, in the city, Stormy Weather lands on a rooftop and inspects her scratched left cheek, now seeing that the blood was drying up.
Hawk Moth's light symbol appears and he says telepathically, "(From his lair) You showed them all who the real winner is, Stormy Weather. Now, it's time to fulfill your end of the bargain. And here's my plan for how you can pull it off, so please listen carefully."
Stormy Weather replies, "I'm all ears."
Ladybug finishes stocking up on ammunition if needed before saying, "Aurore Beaureal got Akumatized because of the fact that Mireille Caquet won the KIDZ+ Weather Girl competition fair and square, and yet Alec Cataldi made fun of her loss somewhat off-camera. I taught Alec some manners, but I don't think he's going to listen."
Cat Noir inquires, "What made Alec so insensitive?"
Milo Tigger answers, "Alec was bullied as a kid for having his red hair in an Afro."
Cat Noir growls, "Ugh! Well, either way, that doesn't give Alec the right to treat people like that!"
Just then, Stormy Weather says from the cracked billboard screen while displaying special effects for a weather report, "Hello, viewers! Right here and right now is the latest forecast for the first day of summer. Looks like Mother Nature had a change in plans. Summer vacation is officially over!"
Cat Noir remarks, "Already? But I look so good in a swimsuit."
Cat Noir notices Ladybug looking at him, and he smiles while wiggling his nose and eyebrows at her.
Purple Streak comes up and asks while holding up a size-fits-all Speedo, "Well, will this Speedo suffice?"
Cat Noir recoils in disgust at seeing the pattern of burnt orange and scarlet red on the Speedo.
Ladybug replies to the question before saying in disgust and then before saying, "The armored catsuit with wings will do just fine for now, and that Speedo is hideous! At least now we know where Stormy Weather is, but be alert; we might be walking into a trap."
At the KIDZ+ Studio, snow is falling as Stormy Weather announces, "Prepare for the worst snowstorm in history!"
As Stormy Weather reports the weather indistinctly, Ladybug remarks while holding her hands over her ears and while running to the elevator carefully, "Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah! Can't hear you, Stormy Weather!"
At the doors to the main studio, Stormy Weather says, "In Stormy Weather's world, it's Winter Wonderland FOREVER!"
Ladybug then says as she uses Japanese combat hand signals without actually speaking, "It's a recording; recommend others stay on standby for ambush attempt while Cat Noir and I spring the trap."
Everyone nods and signs their agreements.
Ladybug and Cat Noir back up a bit before running to the doors and kicking them open.
As they run into the studio, they notice a recording of Stormy Weather cackling.
Ladybug remarks melodramatically, "Oh, great! How horrendous! It's a trap!"
Stormy Weather appears from the doorway and she cackles before firing a lightning bolt at one of the light fixtures, causing it to fall and shatter upon impact with the ground after Ladybug and Cat Noir dodge the light fixture.
All the lights in the studios power down due to the power failure.
In Hawk Moth's lair, Hawk Moth remarks, "Perfect! This is all going splendidly according to the last detail. Soon their Miraculouses will be mine. Bring them to me!"
Stormy Weather giggles as she tries to escape, but she's immediately held down by the ambush party accompanied by the rest of the entire team so far, much to her screaming shock.
Cat Noir remarks, "Ah-ha! We got you now, Frosty the Snowgirl!"
Suddenly, Stormy Weather somehow manages to blow everyone off with a volt of electricity combined with a wind blast.
Stormy Weather cackles as she runs away.
Black Tigra snarls, "Oh, great, she's getting away!"
Ladybug roars, "AFTER HER! Everyone, follow Cat Noir; use your night visions!"
Everyone follows Cat Noir, thankful that most of them have night vision like the likeness animals that their Miraculouses are based upon.
In one of the hallways, the heroes follow Stormy Weather to one of the stairwells, but just as they were going to continue following Stormy Weather, Cat Noir immediately sees the Akumatized weather girl about to hurl a fire extinguisher at them.
Cat Noir yells, "Duck!"
Everyone ducks while Gunner Claws catches the fire extinguisher and gently sets it down.
They follow Stormy Weather up one more flight of stairs to the rooftop.
Stormy Weather cackles as she remarks, "Hahahahahahahahaha! You airheads! You fell right into my trap!"
Stormy Weather makes a willy-willy appear above them, and it immediately surrounds the building.
Hawk Moth's symbol lights up as he says, "The time is now! Bring me the Miraculouses!"
Stormy Weather remarks, "There's no way out! Party's over, fools!"
Ladybug laughs hysterically at that, confusing and angering Stormy Weather.
Stormy Weather shrieks, "What's so funny?!"
Ladybug replies before asking, "You're forgetting two things rolled into one. Ready, Gentle Weather?"
Gentle Weather replies, "Ready!"
Gentle Weather freezes Stormy Weather from behind while Ladybug says, "Peace. Be calm."
The willy-willy subsides and the weather clears up.
Ladybug then says, "Now, it's over."
But just as they were going to get the parasol again, Stormy Weather breaks out and the willy-willy appears again.
Ladybug roars like Predaking, making everyone cower in fear.
Ladybug snarls, "If you won't surrender peacefully, then you will by FORCE! LUCKY CHARM!"
Ladybug's Lucky Charm gives her a bath towel.
Ladybug then says, "Everyone! Form ranks! Hold together!"
Everyone forms ranks as Stormy Weather exclaims, "Hail!" and she summons a hailstorm.
But Ladybug doesn't even flinch as she and the others are invulnerable, and thus aren't bothered by chunks of ice falling on their heads.
Cat Noir asks, "So, what's the plan for getting the Akuma? I'm starting to go blind by the ice!"
Ladybug points towards the sign and says, "That sign; go for it."
Cat Noir replies, "All right! CATACLYSM!"
Cat Noir's Cataclysm activates.
Cat Noir remarks, "Hey, Coldilocks! Is that really all you got so far?!"
Ladybug plays Cat Noir's transformation music through a medium as Stormy Weather blasts Cat Noir with lightning bolts, but he dodges without wasting his Cataclysm.
Cat Noir slides as he slashes the supports for the billboard with his Cataclysm, and the billboard starts falling towards Stormy Weather.
Stormy Weather blasts a hole in it and Ladybug wraps her yoyo around Stormy Weather's left ankle as she also plays her own transformation music through the same medium.
Ladybug flies under some pipes and against a crane before flying over an HVAC.
Ladybug opens the bath towel and flies super high into the air, pulling Stormy Weather down.
Stormy Weather starts falling down to the rooftop of the KIDZ+ Studio building, and the speed at which Stormy Weather falls combined with the angle of the crane causes her to lose her parasol to Cat Noir as he and Ladybug hear Stormy Weather scream in terror.
Cat Noir catches it and throws it towards Ladybug.
Ladybug snarls, "Get out of here, you nasty, ugly excuse for an insect!"
She breaks the parasol over her knee armor before throwing down the two halves of the parasol.
The Akuma flies out and Ladybug purifies it in her hands before tossing the bath towel in the air and saying, "Miraculous Ladybug!"
The magical ladybug swarm fixes all the damage caused and the weather returns to normal a second time.
Stormy Weather transforms back into Aurore.
Aurore questions, "Ugh. Huh? What the? What am I doing on the rooftop of the KIDZ+ building?"
The heroes fist-bump.
In Hawk Moth's lair, Hawk Moth states, "Someday, all of your Miraculouses will be all mine, one way or another. I don't care how many enemies I need to throw out at all of you to win and I don't care about my limits to my own powers, but I will be victorious!"
The window closes.
In the same alleyway, Purple Streak says, "Thanks for your help, Adelisa. But now, it's time for you to be relieved of your duty."
Purple Streak snaps her fingers and Gentle Weather is turned back into Adelisa Blatrix.
In the Place des Vosges, Marinette hugs Adrien and says, "I'm so glad you're all right."
Adrien replies, "Me too, Marinette."
Sabine then says, "You know, Roméo and Phelippon, I didn't know your swords could turn into a chained mace and a bo staff."
Roméo replies, "Well, it's what we wanted. That's the basic thing."
Adrien then questions, "And what was that with you using your staff and mace? Where did you guys learn moves like that?"
Phelippon answers, "What you saw with us was respectively Bojutsu and Tiger Claw Kung-Fu, each one one of the many disciplines of Japanese Ninjutsu and Shaolin Kung-Fu we spent years practicing for the day we would need such skills for defense or offense."
Marinette remarks, "You did good out there, boys."
Adrien then throws out the cup that had his fruit smoothie before saying, "See you around, Mari."
Marinette nods and goes with her parents to their bakery as Adrien goes to his limousine and everyone else disperses to return to civilian life for the time being.
Marinette then sees Nadia Chamack standing there with her parents, and they wearing smiles on their faces.
Nadia states, "Thanks for helping me out, Marinette."
Marinette replies, "You got it, Ms. Chamack."
Nadia hugs Marinette and Marinette hugs her mother's friend back.
Soon, Nadia and Manon left and Marinette was free to do what she was originally going to do if it weren't for Stormy Weather.
The End.
(Bonus scene: Marinette has a good time with Aurore in celebration of Alec being thrown in prison in the aftermath of the Simon Says incident.)
Marinette and Aurore state one after the other as they drink glasses of water like the drinking scene in the Bridges Restaurant in Mrs. Doubtfire, "Okay." "All righty, then." "Hahaha." "Hee hahaha." "Mmm." "Mmm." "Ahhh." "Ahhh." Aha!" "Aha!" "Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha." "Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha."
Marinette remarks, "Ahh, I love spending time with you, Aurore."
Aurore replies, "As do I."
Aurore then takes off her Mary Janes before rubbing her feet as she states, "Ough, I hate walking around in my heels. My feet tend to ache every time I walk around in my Mary Janes for too long."
Marinette stares at Aurore's cerulean blue nail polish on her fingernails and her toenails before saying while taking Aurore's right foot in her lap, "Here, allow me."
Marinette starts massaging Aurore's foot effortlessly while Aurore just gawks before relaxing as she feels the pain in her right foot ebbing away.
In no time, Marinette finishes massaging Aurore's feet before reminding her that not everyone would want to massage her aching feet for different reasons that are often ridiculous and often logical, and that Aurore isn't required to wear high heels all the time.
Marinette leaves Aurore's residence while the new weather girl goes to her closet to put on some comfortable running shoes.
Aurore remarks, "Whew, that's better."
(Author's notes: Yeah, I know Alec being fired in the Simon Says chapter before he could have his chronological redemption happen was unexpected, but this is not the canon cartoon; this is a fanmade fanfiction story, and I hate Alec to an extreme. But if there's one thing I hate more than some of the characters of Miraculous Ladybug themselves, it's when people become aware of their friends or enemies' horrid actions and yet nobody does anything about it at all! (Thank and f*** you very f****** much, Thomas Ass-truck.) And besides, the only way Alec's redemption would happen is if he was Akumatized by Shadow Moth canonically. But considering the way the future is going to be altered in this story, that ain't gonna happen this time.
Also, you may have noticed that the chapters from Lady Wi-fi to Copycat in the original order of chapters for this story on fanfiction dot net were deleted. Well, that's because of the fact that I rearranged the chronological order for my story chapters to the correct chronological order from Origins to Stormy Weather to Mr. Pigeon, Copycat, The Pharaoh, Lady Wi-fi, Ladyblog, Marinette and Adrien, The Bubbler, Rogercop, Horrificator, Marinette and Alya, etc., signifying that I'm also including the webisodes. BUT I'm also including my iteration of chapters revolving around the 7 levels of the first Miraculous Ladybug console video game to date: Miraculous: Rise of the Sphinx. Yeah, I literally changed my mind about the chronological order of the show, including the webisodes and console video game in my stories as chapters, and so forth. So please, be patient for when the webisode chapters come; it's gonna take less time to make them than the actual chapters, yes, but I still have to have a clear schedule to work on my currently in progress 7 fanfiction stories about Miraculous Ladybug and Transformers.
And finally, please comment in the reviews what you think of these changes as well as any of your opinions – spoiler-free or not – about the theory of Lila Rossi becoming Hawk Moth #2 after the final battle in The Last Day Part 2. I wish to know your opinions on those subjects.
Anyway, see you all in chapter 12: Stock Dove vs. Mr. Pigeon.)
