Scene: Pont des Arts. Ladybug and Cat Noir are using a mechanism made of her yo-yo and his staff to pull something out of the Seine.
Ladybug: So... (grunts) you're actually totally in love!
Cat Noir: Utterly, absolutely, totally in love! She's so amazing; I could talk about her for hours! I mean, I won't, because that would put our secret identity at risk.
Ladybug: It doesn't really matter who she is, what matters the most is that she loves you back. (grunts) So, does she?
Cat Noir: I think so, yeah.
Ladybug: I'm super happy for you. (The two heroes pull a barge out from the river.)
Scene: Eiffel Tower. Ladybug and Cat Noir are falling mid-air, fighting against Mr. Pigeon.
Cat Noir: So you're in love, too?
Ladybug: So much! Well, I can't tell you anything because it would jeopardize my secret identity, but you know what I mean! (Ladybug grabs Mr. Pigeon's akumatized bird call and throws it to Cat Noir.)
Cat Noir: What matters isn't what you tell me, it's what you tell him. (breaks the akumatized object, releasing the megakuma inside.) Did you tell him how you feel?
Ladybug: (upon capturing the megakuma) Oh... (laughs awkwardly) everything's so natural between us we don't even need to say anything. Miraculous Ladybug! (throws the small kettle in the air and chuckles)
Scene: On the Trocadéro rooftop. The two heroes sit next to each other looking at the Eiffel tower while the sun sets.
Cat Noir: I'm super happy for you, m'lady. Can you believe it? I have a girlfriend, you have a boyfriend, and we can talk about it!
Ladybug: Like real friends.
Ladybug and Cat Noir: It's awesome. Pound it!
Cat Noir: Catch you later! (Ladybug's smile changes to a frown upon Cat Noir's departure.)
"How could we not know that we're actually dating each other?!" Adrien asked both himself and Marinette in exasperation as she shrugged in response.
Scene: Interior, the Dupain-Cheng's Residence, on Marinette's balcony. Marinette rants about her problems to Alya.
Marinette: This is all just so ridiculous! I mean, I can say anything to Cat Noir, tell him anything that's on my mind, but with Adrien, I— I— I— GAH! See? That's the problem! "I, I, I, I—" I can't even put two words together. (her phone rings) Kagami! Oh no, she did everything she could to bring Adrien and me together, she's gonna ask "How's everything going, Marinette?" and I'm gonna stammer back, "Oh, yeah, oh, so Adrien's got feelings for me and he knows I've got feelings for him!" and then she'll say, "Great! Did you guys go all kissy-kissy?", and I'll say, "No! I can't even talk to him! Because I'm pathetic!" and she'll find me ridiculous! Utterly ridiculous! (notices her phone ringing again) I can't pick up and talk to her, Alya! I'll do it once I've talked to Adrien! Ah! But I'll never talk to Adrien! (begins to roll on the floor comically) Does that mean I'll never call her back? Or only when I'm really, really old? By then she won't even remember me! Alya, I'm the worst friend ever! (leans on the rail) Am I the worst friend ever?
"Girl, watching you rant and move like that is better than cable!" Alya teasingly said to her blushing best friend as everyone else laughed hard in agreement towards Marinette's rant on-screen.
Alya: Girl, girl, girl, you're almost there. Adrien knows you love him and you know he loves you. The only thing you need to do is—
Marinette: To be a little less pathetic?
Alya: No, don't be afraid to accept help from your friends instead of running away from them. (Marinette sports a worried face and gulps.)
Scene: Interior, Collège Françoise Dupont, in the art classroom. Marc and Nathaniel are using Marinette and Adrien as models for their comics and also trying to get the two to get closer to each other.
"Now that those two are finally together, you guys are trying to help them by setting them up for their first kiss," Angel pointed out to the teens who nodded in understanding.
Marc: Remember, look into each other's eyes. (Marinette turns her head nervously towards Adrien.)
Nathaniel: In our plan— uh, I mean, our story, the characters are very, very close. (measures their distance with his pencil as Adrien steps closer towards Marinette while Marinette steps back) That's it, that's it.
Marc: Now they need to hold hands. (Marinette glances at her classmates, who are all holding their thumbs up. Upon noticing her, they all return to their activities.)
Adrien: Would you mind? (reaches out his hand to Marinette)
Marinette: Wh— Why on Earth would I mind? (Marinette reaches out to hold Adrien's hand. Everyone in the room looks at them with excitement. Marinette's hand shakes right as she's about to touch Adrien's, she pulls it back and knocks over a vase. The others look disappointed.) I'm sorry, I'm such a klutz...
Scene: Interior, the ice rink. The gang are huddled together around Philippe. Nathaniel shows Philippe a drawing of Marinette and Adrien dressed up as figure skaters and kissing.
Philippe: I was born for this role! (Philippe and Marinette and Adrien's friends look into the rink where Marinette and Adrien are struggling to stand still) Come on, kids. We need feeling. We need poetry. That's it, you're almost there! Let yourself… FLY! (He pushes them. They scream for dear life as they go crashing and everyone watches another plan of theirs fail.)
Marinette: Sorry, I'm such a klutz. (Nathaniel flips the page of the sketchbook to reveal the third drawing, Marinette and Adrien performing couples' yoga.)
Scene: Interior, Collège Françoise Dupont. Marinette is on the far end of the room and the only yoga mat left is in front of Adrien.
Miss Bustier: Places, everyone! Today, we are going to practice empathetic listening. (Adrien waves at Marinette) You're going to take the hands of the person sitting next to you… (Alya appears behind Marinette and starts pushing her to the mat in front of Adrien.) …in your hands and express all the emotions you feel for them. (Marinette nervously waves and starts sitting slowly when Chloé pushes her out of the way and sits down.)
Alya: Hey! That's Marinette's seat!
Chloé: Oh, really? I don't see a reserved sign anywhere that reads "pathetic", "ridiculous" or "utterly ridiculous" on it.
Marinette: Forget it, Alya, I don't need to sit next to Adrien.
Lila: (appears behind Chloé) Chloé! (drags Chloé away) Marinette has every right to sit next to Adrien if it makes her happy and (whispering) we have every right to make her life miserable. But we have to be hush-hush about it. (Both sit down on the last row of mats completely away from them)
Chloé: You've earned your place as my best friend. (Lila smirks at her remark as Sabrina hears them speak and looks upset. Everyone looks up at Marinette who is screaming)
"Guess I'm not too happy Chloe called Lila her "best friend", huh?" Sabrina asked, seeing the upset expression on her face on-screen.
"Yeah, let's just say very slowly and progressively, you're finally reaching the end of your patience with Chloe. This was like the first small step," Angel noted to Sabrina as both she and Chloe looked at each other in mild sadness and concern.
Marinette: AHHHH! I CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT A KLUTZ I AM! (Nathaniel flips the page of the sketchbook to reveal an empty page.)
"Seriously?! I can't even sit still for Adrien?! WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?!" Marinette ranted, exasperated at herself as everyone else shared cringed looks towards her rant.
Scene: Interior, Dupain-Cheng's Residence, in Marinette's room. Marinette practices her declaration of love to Adrien in front of a mannequin with Adrien's picture glued on it.
Marinette: Adrien, I love y.. I love y— I love y— (removes Adrien's picture) Adrien, I love you. (sighs in relief and puts back Adrien's picture on the mannequin) Adrien, I love y— (groans in frustration. Marinette's phone rings and sees that Kagami is calling her.) Ah! I can't talk to Kagami! She'll be so disappointed to hear that even with the help of all my friends, I can't get anywhere. I can't keep going down this pathetic road. (throws her phone behind her) I have to do this, ON MY OWN! Adrien, I l.. I l.. Adrien! I love y..
Tikki: Come on Marinette! You're almost there!
Marinette: (forcibly) y… (The sun sets and Marinette's face appears to be red. Her phone starts to ring again.)
"Really?! It's taking that long?!" Alya asked her blushing best friend in exasperation as everyone else murmured in confusion towards Marinette as well, similarly exasperated as well.
Tikki: You know, Kagami might have some good advice for you.
Marinette: (while typing on her computer) Moo.
Tikki: "Moo"?
"MOO?!" Everyone in the audience asked the blue-haired girl with confused and exasperated looks on their faces as Marinette blushed in embarrassment, having no idea what she's doing on-screen.
Marinette: Moo! MOO MOO MOO! (Takes a printout of a picture of a cow.) Adrien, I love… (places an image of a cow over Adrien's face) MOO! Adrien I love (places an image of a cow over Adrien's face once again) MOO! (Tikki stares at Marinette blankly in confusion.) I've got it, Tikki! No more wasting my friends' help and I can tell Kagami about it. (Marinette picks up her phone but her alarm starts to ring.) Ahh! I'm late for the concert! (Marinette snatches the two pictures and rushes down from her room.)
"I…have no idea," Marinette stammered in embarrassment as everyone else gave her bewildered and exasperated looks towards her behavior on-screen.
Scene: Exterior, on the deck of Liberty. The gang prepares for the concert.
Adrien: (looks at a sheet of paper) I wrote a song for her but (hands the sheet over to Luka) I don't know. I don't wanna make her uncomfortable.
Luka: It's beautiful. We should play it with the band!
Rose: Adrien! You wrote a song for Marinette!? (Everyone looks at Adrien.) Oh, that's so cute! (Nathaniel draws on his sketchbook.)
Ivan: Why don't we start to play it? (runs away excitedly)
Juleka: (mumbles) I'm super excited!
Mylène: I'll get some lanterns. It'll be more romantic.
Kim: A dolphin? Where can I get a dolphin?
"A DOLPHIN?!" Everyone in the audience asked Kim in confusion in which he shrugged in response, confused as well.
Scene: Inside the Tsurugi car. The car is driving Kagami to Liberty. Kagami is seen glancing at a sheet and folding it.
"What am I looking at?" Kagami asked curiously about the sheet of paper she was looking at on-screen.
"You'll find that out soon. It plays a major part in you getting akumatized this time," Angel answered as the audience looked at the screen in curiosity.
Tatsu: Kagami-san, you've reached your destination. (The Tsurugi car arrives at the dock. Kagami walks onto Liberty to see Rose pushing Adrien)
Rose: Of course, you're the one who's going to sing your song!
Nino: Zoé, you're one of the backup singers. Max, Markov— Hey, Kagami! Perfect timing.
Mylène: It's great you're here, Kagami. Can you play the tambourine?
Nino: I need her for backup vocals.
Kim: Do you happen to have a dolphin by any chance?
Alya: Adrien is going to sing a song he wrote for Marinette!
Kagami: Oh? Is Marinette coming tonight? Good. I was worried about her. She's not answering her phone.
Alya: Oh, you know Marinette when she's super focused on a (whispers to Kagami) specific problem. (She points at Adrien who is talking to Ivan. Kagami smiles in reply.)
Kagami: That's good. It is with focus that we make progress.
Alya: Yeah, when it comes to showing up on time, she still has a lot of progress to make. (Alya calls Marinette through her Alliance. Kagami notices that she answers the call.) Hello? Marinette, where are you?
Marinette: I'M HERE! AND I AM READY! SUPER MEGA READY! (Marinette parks her scooter, removes her helmet and comes running. Kagami takes out her sheet of paper again and writes something on it.) With the greatest idea of all time and uhhh— (stops as she sees Kagami and panics) Kagami?
Kagami: (keeps the sheet inside her pocket and turns and walks towards Marinette) Marinette, I have a question for you.
Marinette: (awkwardly) Yes, right! Of course! A question makes total sense… just not right now! I have to do something before—
Kagami: I'll come with you.
Marinette: NO! No, no, it's uh… something I have to do on my own… at this very moo-ment! I mean, moment! (Marinette runs away in panic as Adrien walks up to Alya and Kagami.)
Adrien: It's great to see you here, Kagami. You get to hear the song I wrote for Marinette!
Kagami: You made your feelings clear and you're dealing with them. That's good. I'm very proud of you. (Adrien smiles.)
Scene: Interior, under the deck of Liberty. Marinette is practicing the same love declaration back at her room.
Marinette: (while holding Adrien's picture) Adrien. I love.. (puts down Adrien's picture, having the image of a cow in her view) Moo. (holds out Adrien's picture again) Adrien, I love (puts down Adrien's picture for the second time, having the image of a cow in her view) Moo! Got it! My friends are gonna be so proud! (She runs up the staircase leaving the picture of the cow stuck on a cabinet.)
"Or extremely confused because of the moo part," Marc teasingly noted to Marinette about the "moo" part in which everyone else laughed hard in agreement much to the blue-haired girl's blushing embarrassment.
Scene: Exterior, on the deck of Liberty. Marinette arrives just in time as the band is about to start their concert.
Marinette: Oops, sorry! (Alya signals "go" as Rose starts playing the keyboard with all the lights turning on one by one, putting Adrien in the spotlight. Adrien walks towards the mic stand.)
Adrien:
Well..uh… Marinette, this song is for you.
I don't need a grand declaration
Marinette: (flushed) Adrien… sings?
Adrien:
Or a letter or a song of devotion
Alya: For you, Marinette. Adrien is singing for you!
Adrien:
I don't expect words full of emotion
Nino, Zoé and Max:
(in unison) Emotion~
Adrien:
I don't need us to watch the sunset. Take a walk or ride on a dolphin
Kim:
(running backstage, carrying a dolphin) Dolphin!
Adrien:
No, I don't expect a thing
Nino, Zoé and Max:
(in unison) No, I don't expect a thing!
Adrien:
Because through your silence, I can hear your heart is beating.
A rhythm fluttering like butterflies~
Max:
Fly~
Zoé:
Fly~
Nino:
(off-key) FLIES!
(Zoé stops Nino from singing)
Adrien:
The melody that no one hears but me!
(Marc points Nathaniel out to Marinette who is currently mesmerized by Adrien's song.)
Adrien:
(in the background) The melody that I know easily!
Adrien:
Because my heart beats the same as yours,
The melody that simply says I!
I love you!
(Adrien extends his hand to Marinette as the spotlight points at her, causing her to panic.)
Everyone in the audience applauded and cheered at the song Adrien wrote and sang on-screen as the blond boy blushed at the praise. He then looks at Marinette who is smiling at him with tears in her eyes and then leaned over to give him a passionate kiss on the lips.
Marinette: (nervously) I.. I have to tell him. Now! I... I... I NEED THE MOO! Be right back! (runs back inside Liberty again. The spotlights turn off.)
Adrien: Was it my song?
Alya: No, no, go on.
Kagami: I'll go talk to Marinette.
Alya: No, I'll go. I know her like the back of my hand. (Kagami pulls out the sheet again. Nino pushes Adrien aside)
"OK, what is with that sheet of paper that I'm obsessing myself with?!" Kagami asked curiously with a frustrated tone along with everyone else. Angel just responded by pointing to the screen, indicating they should watch further to find out.
Nino: Mic check, one-two, one-two!
Scene: Interior, under the deck of Liberty. Alya runs down the stairs to find Marinette who's trying to pull the picture of the cow from the cabinet.
Marinette: Come on, cow! I need you!
Alya: (peeks over Marinette who is hiding behind the cabinet) Marinette, what are you doing?
Marinette: (while pulling out the cow image from the cabinet) I'm just grabbing the cow to tell Adrien that I love him because I have the "I love" but not the "moo". I know it's ridiculous. I'm ridiculous.
Alya: You're just feeling the pressure, girl, like anyone who's about to profess their feelings of love to someone else.
Marinette: No! It's more than that, Alya. Something's wrong with me! Oh, I know! It's because I'm Ladybug. That's it! I'm petrified at the thought of doing something careless again and losing my Miraculous because I won't be focused on my mission. Besides, I'd be lying to Adrien the whole time—
Alya: Marinette, stop. Right now, there's no mission or lies going on. It's just you, Marinette, Adrien who loves you and a beautiful song. (Marinette sees Kagami behind Alya and tells her to stop with her hands.) No, I won't hush up. I won't accept your excuses anymore! (stops abruptly) I really need to shut my mouth, don't I?
Kagami: Is everything okay? (Alya turns to Kagami) I'm interrupting, aren't I?
Marinette: Well, uh, not at all. It's just uh…
Alya: We'll be right there. We just got this "cow" thing to deal with.
Marinette: That's right, the cow. (laughs hysterically)
Kagami: I understand. (Kagami walks up the staircase ticking the last box on that sheet she has been carrying and folds it.)
Alya: Ladybug isn't the one stopping you from telling Adrien how you feel. You are!
Marinette: (annoyed) Oh, really? Really? How do you know that something terrible isn't happening right now in Paris? Someone in danger? Someone getting akumatized without anyone realizing by just being here… failing my mission? Alya, cover for me! Tikki, spots on! (transforms into Ladybug and swings out of the window)
Alya: From where I'm standing, your mission seems to be avoiding Adrien.
Scene: Inside the Liberty. Kagami is heard to be talking to Lila on call.
Kagami: You were right, Lila. I checked every box on your friendship test. Marinette doesn't consider me her best friend. I'm not even sure she ever considered me a friend.
"LILA?! FRIENDSHIP TEST?!" The audience loudly asked in extreme confusion in reaction to what they just heard on-screen.
"That sheet of paper you've been looking and writing at, Kagami? It's a friendship test Lila made up herself for you to do to evaluate your friendship with Marinette. You're feeling kind of insecure that it's falling apart," Angel explained about the friendship test.
"Since when am I friends with Lila?" Kagami asked in confusion, frowning at the idea of being friends with the horrible liar.
"I don't exactly know when, but just recently. Of course that means she's just manipulating you, so that you would turn against Marinette just like she threatened to. That "friendship test" she just made up was an attempt to break apart your friendship with her," Angel explained further in which everyone else nodded in understanding as they frowned in anger towards the lying girl.
Lila: (on-call) Oh, no, Kagami… I'm so sorry she didn't see all the effort you've been making to get closer to her. Someone as amazing as you deserves a more considerate friend and… I'd be honored to be that friend.
"YEAH RIGHT!" The teens in the audience sarcastically remarked towards what Lila said on-screen.
Kagami: If I couldn't be a friend to Marinette, I can't be a friend to you, either. Someone as imperfect as me doesn't deserve anyone. Forget about me, Lila. The only thing I'm worthy of is solitude.
Lila: (on-call) No, Ka— (Kagami cuts off her line with Lila and deletes every single contact on her Alliance except for her mother. She turns off her Alliance right after.)
Scene: Interior, Lila's house. Lila is seen cutting the image of Marinette with her scissors in her picture with Kagami, and in every picture she's been in with her friends.
Lila: (upon cutting off Marinette's face in her picture with Kagami) Soon, you'll have no one left, Marinette. Soon, you'll have nothing.
"OK, that was creepy on so many levels!" Adrien noted about Lila after a long silence in shock towards what Lila's doing on-screen.
"Lila actually has pictures of me and is cutting my faces off of them?!" Marinette asked, now getting more nervous and fearful towards the lying girl.
"Yeah. Lila has been…stalking you, so she can try to manipulate everyone you know against you," Angel explained about Lila to Marinette in which everyone else gasped in shock and fear.
"OK, wow! That girl really hates you, Dupain-Cheng! Even more so than I did!" Chloe noted, creeped out by Lila's hatred towards Marinette in spite of her past hatred towards the blue-haired girl.
"We gotta try to keep that awful witch away from my girl when we get back!" Alya said in anger towards the Italian girl in which everyone else enthusiastically murmured in agreement.
"Let's try to keep her away from Adrien too! Well, outside of their photoshoots together. She's obsessed with him as well!" Marinette added, worried for her boyfriend as well as herself.
Scene: On the rooftops. Ladybug stops to check her surroundings.
Ladybug: (groans) Alya's right. I only transformed into Ladybug… to escape Adrien. Why am I doing this?
Scene: Exterior, on the deck of Liberty. The gang seems to be unamused with everything that went on. Alya notices Kagami storming out from the house boat.
Alya: Kagami! You okay? (One tear was streaming down on Kagami's face before running off without a word. Adrien notices Kagami running away as well.)
Adrien: (pulls in Nino in front of the keyboard) Nino, fill in for me! (Kagami stops running as she reaches the Tsurugi's family car. The door opens automatically.)
Tatsu: Welcome, Kagami-san. Where would you like to go? (Kagami takes out her "friendship test" from her pocket and cries, running off and leaving the sheet of paper on the pavement.)
Scene: Monarch's lair. The lair window opens.
Monarch: How painful it is to succeed in everything so perfectly. But to fail at something as simple as making friends. Kaalki, (Kaalki's pod hovers toward Monarch) your power is now mine! (gains the power of Teleportation and creates a megakuma right after) Voyage, my megakuma, and feed on the depth of her despair!
Scene: Exterior, from the Tsurugi's family car. Adrien runs off to check on Kagami, stopping in to check if she's in their car, panting, only to find no one there. He spots the piece of paper that Kagami lost just outside the car and picks it up to read it.
Adrien: "She doesn't pick up her phone when you call her", "She uses a secret language with her other friends that you don't understand"... "cow"?
Scene: Pont des Arts. Kagami is seen brooding on the bridge. The megakuma flies towards her and enters her ring with the Tsurugi name on it.
Monarch: (from his lair) Ryukomori, I am Monarch. You thought you had a friend, but you are mistaken! Let me help you like a true friend.
Kagami: You are not my friend. You're solely doing this for your own self-interest to claim Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculous.
Monarch: (from his lair) Like you, I wanted to end my suffering. And like you, I need special powers to make it happen.
Kagami: I just want… to be alone!
Monarch: (from his lair) And I can help you with that by giving you the power to no longer see or hear anyone. This way, no one will disappoint you again! Longg, (Longg's pod flies toward Monarch) your power is now mine! (harnesses the power of Perfection) Transfer! (taps on the ring with the power of Perfection and transmits it to Kagami's Alliance ring) I'm entrusting you with the essence of the Miraculous of Perfection. From now on, the power of elements will be at your service to achieve the serenity you desire! (Kagami succumbs to the Megakuma and transforms into Ryukomori, a gigantic humanoid cloud. The Parisians on the Seine ran off in fear upon her transformation. Adrien, who witnessed her akumatization, watches her in fear.)
"So, I'm just a giant cloud?" Kagami asked in confusion as well as everyone else about her new akuma form on-screen.
"Yep. And you can't see nor hear anyone. Total solitude. Just like you wanted," Angel explained further about Kagami as Ryukomori.
"So, what damage could I do to Paris?" Kagami asked, still confused as well as everyone else.
"Every once in a while, you do see or hear something. Then, you try to drive them away with your Dragon powers like lightning or strong winds, so that you can continue to be alone," Angel answered as everyone else continued to stare at the screen in curiosity. Meanwhile, Longg whimpered in fear of her powers being used for evil with Kagami trying to comfort her.
Adrien: Kagami? (Scene changes to Ryukomori's point of view, where no one is seen nor heard. Ryukomori begins to walk away with Adrien beneath her feet. He hides behind a wall to transform.) Plagg, claws out! (transforms into Cat Noir)
Scene: On the rooftops. Ladybug draws on the roof with her finger as Ryukomori ensues chaos in the city from behind her. Ladybug seems to be happy about it.
Ladybug: Woo-hoo! I knew I was right to transform! (realization hits her) Seriously? Did I just rejoice over somebody getting akumatized? What is wrong with me? (swings away)
Scene: Canal Saint-Martin. Two Parisians are sitting on a bench by the Seine as Ryukomori sits beside them, causing the people to run away in panic. Ryukomori reminisces about her first encounter with Marinette.
Ryukomori: This canal… the first time I came here, I was so afraid: afraid I wouldn't be up to the task; afraid I'd be disappointed… or disappoint someone; afraid Marinette wouldn't want to be my friend. All that fear… it's gone. Everything is so calm now. So peaceful. So… perfect.
(The authorities begin surrounding Ryukomori whilst not being seen by the villain.)
Police: Everybody clear the canal! This is a megakuma alert! Check your Alliances and find your nearest safety checkpoint. (Ladybug peeks over the rooftop as Cat Noir walks towards her and gives her Kagami's sheet of paper where her "friendship test" is written.)
Cat Noir: I think this list I found belongs to her.
Ladybug: "She doesn't pick up her phone", "Uses a secret language with her other friends", "If you checked all the boxes, you can be sure that this person never considered you her friend." Oh, no! I broke— I mean, someone insensitive, blind and oblivious broke her heart when all she wanted was a friend to listen to her.
Cat Noir: It's this "friendship test" that's absurd, and that monster Monarch took advantage of it!
Ladybug and Cat Noir: We have to de-akumatize her! (Ryukomori stands up from the canal and starts to walk away again. Ladybug and Cat Noir attempt to stop her only to jump through her cloud form and fall on the river.)
Cat Noir: Uhh, how're we gonna de-akumatize her if we can't touch her? (Ryukomori continues her stroll in the city. Ladybug uses a megaphone to communicate with Ryukomori.)
Ladybug: I'm sure your friend didn't mean to hurt your feelings. She was probably so focused on other problems that she didn't see yours. But that doesn't mean she doesn't consider you her friend. Maybe it's just the opposite: because she wanted to be worthy of your friendship. She didn't dare tell you all of her problems.
Ryukomori: (to herself, in her state of solitude) This city is so quiet. It never looked so beautiful. (walks through the buildings where Ladybug and Cat Noir are)
Cat Noir: She can't hear us?
Ladybug: And she can't see us, either!
Cat Noir: It's gonna be tough to get through to her. (The Parisians' Alliances begin displaying the "megakuma alert" causing them to panic again. Ryukomori still does not see any of the chaos going on as she remains in her state of solitude.)
Ryukomori: (as she reminisces about her training with her mother in the Jardin des Tuileries) How many times have I come here with Mother? She warned me that friendship could be a source of disappointment. But I didn't listen to her. (A helicopter flies in front of her.)
Clara Contard: Clara Contard, live from the Tuileries Garden, where a huge cloud giant is terrorizing on-lookers. What threat does this pose to Paris? (Ryukomori fans away the helicopter with her hand like a fly. Ladybug and Cat Noir arrive on the scene.)
Cat Noir: She ignores us but not the helicopter? (Ryukomori's cloud form turns dark and shoots lightning on the helicopter.) Okay, now I'm pretty glad she's ignoring us. (Ladybug and Cat Noir jump in to stop the helicopter from crashing. Ryukomori returns to her normal cloud form and walks away once again.)
"See that, Kagami? You actually saw something, your cloud form gets dark, and you made it go away with your lightning powers from the Dragon Miraculous," Angel explained as she pointed at the screen in which her audience nodded in understanding while also being worried towards the people in the helicopter on-screen (especially Kagami and Longg).
Cameraman: Thank you, Cat Noir!
Ladybug: I think I figured out how to communicate with her!
Scene: On top of a ferris wheel. Cat Noir uses a megaphone to help Ladybug with their plan.
Cat Noir: A little bit to the right. Yeah, that makes the square. (Ladybug pushes a car in position.) There, perfect!
Ladybug: She can't hear us but she can read!
Ryukomori: (in her state of solitude) Now that there are no friends left to yearn for, I can finally enjoy some peace. (A car goes through Ryukomori's head and annoyingly turns to where it came from when another car gets thrown at her, causing Ryukomori to get mad, her clouds turning gray for the second time.)
Ladybug: She can't ignore us now! (Ryukomori walks to where Ladybug and Cat Noir were and spots a Japanese character written with cars.)
Ryukomori: Kanji? "Talk." I don't want to talk. I want silence! (She creates a twister around her, sending Ladybug and Cat Noir flying in the air. Fortunately for our two heroes, they grab hold of a lamppost nearby.)
"Now it's wind from the Dragon Miraculous," Angel pointed out and her audience nodded in understanding with their eyes wide open in shock towards the strong winds Ryukomori created on-screen.
Cat Noir: She can complain about her friend, but she's not exactly the best communicator either! (A car flies toward the heroes as Cat Noir deflects it with his staff.)
Ladybug: (while using her yo-yo to deflect the incoming flying cars) So what? Everybody has problems communicating one time or another! Sometimes, you try to tell things to people, but then… you just can't do it! That doesn't mean you should be made fun of!
Monarch: (from his lair) Ladybug and Cat Noir will never leave you alone! They'll never stop trying to de-akumatize you! Destroy them, or you'll never have peace!
Ryukomori: If this is what it takes… (spots a lamppost where Ladybug and Cat Noir are holding on and shoots lightning at them, sending them off flying again)
Cat Noir: I don't think she wants to make new friends!
Ladybug: Maybe she does but she just doesn't know how to express it! (Another bolt of lightning fires at them.)
Cat Noir: Oh, I think she's expressing herself very clearly!
[Superpower Sequence]
Ladybug: Lucky Charm! (receives a box with beads) Ironing beads? (uses her Lucky Vision to point out everything she needs in order to successfully de-akumatize Ryukomori) Kitty! I need you to go shopping!
Cat Noir: Planning a fancy feast? (brings out a notepad)
Scene: Les Olympiades, in Socqueline's arts and crafts store.
Socqueline: You need (holds up Cat Noir's notepad as the papers fall on the counter) all of this?
Scene: Exterior, on the deck of Liberty. Ladybug is seen ironing out the beads as the gang gathers around to watch her lay out her plan. After ironing, she shows an art piece of Kagami to them.
Max: But… there's never gonna be enough of us!
Markov: I can instantly contact all your friends, your friends' friends and your friends' friends' friends!
Socqueline: Hey! (waves at the gang upon arriving on Liberty with Cat Noir on a truck)
Scene: Interior, Collège Françoise Dupont. Mr. Damocles and Fred are seen walking inside. The two run away upon seeing Ryukomori peeking over the school.
Ryukomori: (to herself, in her state of solitude) To think that this is where it all began. (Flashback montage of Kagami and Adrien fencing on the courtyard from "Riposte" is seen.) I thought they'd accept me as their friend, but I didn't measure up. Now, free from the turmoil of my sadness over them, I can finally achieve the calm and perfection I so longed for. (sitting down, she begins to evaporate)
Cat Noir: (from a helicopter flying above the school) Yoo-hoo! I know you can hear me but I'm here to bother you anyway!
Ryukomori: (furious as her clouds turn gray) Even now, they're going to ruin it for me! (chases after the helicopter)
Scene: Parc des Princes. From the helicopter, Cat Noir sees Ryukomori continue to stomp her way towards him.
Cat Noir: Okay! (he leaps off the helicopter down into the stadium to meet with Ladybug. Arriving at the stadium, Ryukomori notices blank slates on the bleachers, confused. Ladybug raises a green slate, signaling her classmates to flip the slates, creating an image dedicated to Kagami.)
Ryukomori: (as her clouds turn back to white) They did this all… for me?
Monarch: (from his lair) Don't look! Ladybug and Cat Noir are trying to trick you!
"That really is an impressive piece of artwork," Kagami complimented the others about the artwork dedicated to her on-screen as everyone else cooed over it too. "Do you all really mean it?"
"We really do, Kagami. I'm sorry that I apparently have been giving you mixed signals on our friendship," Marinette apologized to her Japanese friend as everyone else nodded in confirmation with warm smiles on their faces.
"I apologize too, Marinette. I apparently let Lila manipulate me on my part," Kagami apologized back to Marinette who nodded in forgiveness with a smile.
Ryukomori: People came here for me…?
Monarch: (from his lair) They only did this to distract you from your true purpose!
Ryukomori: I don't want to be alone anymore. These people… I want to see them! I WANT TO SEE THEM! (breaks free from the megakuma and her connection with Monarch)
Monarch: (from his lair) NO! (falls down to his knees. After breaking her connection with Monarch, Kagami falls from the sky, much to Ladybug and Cat Noir's panic. The two heroes move their feet quickly to save her, and Ladybug catches her successfully, landing on the stadium's exterior. The people from the stadium start to applaud.)
Kagami: You deserve this applause, Ladybug. Thank you for saving me.
Ladybug: I'm not the one they're cheering for. (Their friends chant "Kagami!" as they keep on applauding for her from the bleachers, much to Kagami's surprise.) You rejected the megakuma, all on your own! Kagami Tsurugi, you deserve every bit of that applause! Miraculous Ladybug! (She throws the box with beads in the air and the magic ladybugs repair all the damage. She then opens her yo-yo and gives Kagami a magical charm.) Kagami, I'm giving you this magical charm as a symbol of my and everyone's friendship.
Scene: Exterior, on the deck of Liberty. Marinette gives Kagami a picture of the two of them placed on a little ironed-bead frame.
Marinette: Next time you're in doubt, I hope it could comfort you.
Kagami: (grabs the little frame) Next time, just pick up your phone.
Marinette: I'm sorry. I was so afraid I was going to disappoint you.
Kagami: What? No! I'm the one who's afraid of disappointing you. I've always had this feeling that I need to be the perfect person, but I don't know how to be perfect as a friend. I don't know how to behave around other people, so I never feel good enough.
Marinette: (gasps) What? But that's exactly how I feel with Adrien! Alya tried to tell me the same thing. I really should listen to my friends more. Wait, that's my problem! I don't know why but I don't feel good enough. That's why I can't talk to Adrien. Kagami, thank you! (hugs Kagami) Thanks to you, I just realized something super important.
Kagami: Does that mean… I've been a good friend?
Marinette: The best of friends.
Kagami: Isn't Alya your best friend?
Marinette: Kagami, you're just as much my best friend as Alya. The love you have for your friends isn't divided; it's multiplied!
Alya: Hey, Kagami, when Marinette doesn't pick up, you can call me! (opens her Alliance ring. Kagami proceeds to open her contact list on her Alliance ring only to have it automatically be filled up with contacts of Marinette's friends. The gang is seen to be waving from afar as Kagami smiles back at them.)
"I'm glad we cleared things up, Marinette," Kagami said to her friend with a smile who nodded in agreement with a smile back.
Scene: Inside the Tsurugi car. Kagami stares outside with a smile from the car window.
Kagami: Alliance, please call Lila. (The line rings.)
Lila: Hello?
Kagami: Lila, if your offer still stands, I would be honored to be your best friend.
Lila: Oh, Kagami! You'll always be more than a friend to me, you're like a sister.
"OK, overdoing it as usual," Marinette noted in a deadpan manner towards Lila and her lies on-screen with everyone else grumbling in agreement.
"That "friendship" will eventually prove to be a huge disappointment," Kagami noted, disappointed at her future self for befriending Lila on-screen.
Scene: Exterior, the Césaire Residence. Marinette brings Alya back home on her scooter.
Marinette: You were right. I always thought Ladybug was my problem, when she was just an excuse for me not to get closer to Adrien. I'm the problem. But I don't even know why.
Alya: (places her hand on Marinette's shoulder) Don't worry, we'll figure it out, girl. That's what friends are for.
"You and I are not so different, m'lady. Cat Noir is an excuse for me to escape from my restrained life as teen heartthrob Adrien Agreste," Adrien pointed out to his girlfriend in an attempt to comfort her in which she gave a warm smile in response as she nodded in understanding.
Epilogue: Interior, the Agreste mansion, in Gabriel's atelier. Gabriel is standing in front of his monitor. Tomoe storms into the room in great anger.
Tomoe: (slams her bokken right on Gabriel's hand on the monitor) You sent a megakuma into my daughter's ring! (presses her bokken on Gabriel's Cataclysmed hand) You endangered her!
Gabriel: Tsurugi-san... calm down.
Tomoe: If you don't honor your contract, Gabriel, I will make your dream disappear, just like you tried to do with mine! Don't ever forget again... that you owe me everything!
"What about all the other times your daughter's been akumatized?!" Marinette pointed out in exasperation towards Mrs. Tsurugi on-screen with everyone else grumbling in agreement.
"What does Mr. Agreste owe my mother that she became involved in his schemes?" Kagami asked curiously as well as the rest of the audience.
"Sorry, but we don't know yet," Angel answered. "OK, the next and last episode of today is called Migration which refers to the Horse Miraculous. The akumatized villain in that episode is called Gold Record who can turn people and objects into musical records," Angel announced the next episode in which everyone else cringed once they heard what the villain does.
"And who's that?" Adrien asked curiously as well as the audience.
"Bob Roth," Angel answered in which everyone else gave looks of curiosity and confusion. "You'll see why. Let's play!"
