(An akuma attacks. People run away in fear. Chloe just came out of a boutique after shopping. When she sees the akuma, she groans. She hides behind a tree and transforms into Queen Bee.)
Queen Bee: It had to be on shopping day. Don't worry my beloved fans! Your Queen Bee is here to save the day!
(Chat Noir clears his throat.)
Queen Bee: With, little help.
(The rest of Team Miraculous gives her annoyed looks.)
Queen Bee: Fine. It's hard to save the day on your own. After all... underneath this costume is just an ordinary girl who has a daddy that can get you anything that you want because he's the mayor. Well... not everything.
Ladybug: (Pushes Queen Bee out of the way.) This one's mine!
Queen Bee: I hate sharing the spotlight.
Azula Paonne: (Shields Queen Bee with her fan.) You alright?
Queen Bee: With some people. But I love it when we beat up the bad guys. Especially that pesky Mariposa.
Mariposa: Hey Kitty...! (Gets tackled by Queen Bee.)
Queen Bee: He's taken! Anyways... we should really wrap this up. There's no way I'm letting myself, or anyone else, miss the big Gabriel Sale all because of these insects.
Something was not right.
That was the first thing that came to Gabriel's mind when Adrien emerged from his room. His son was wearing a fancy, black suit, complete with a green striped tie. He walked out with a big, proud smile on his face.
He never smiled before. When he wears that suit.
He never liked wearing suits, ever since he was little, ever since the first time his parents introduced him to his first suit. He'd always complain how too tight the suit was for him, how he couldn't move a bit while wearing it. He'd fidget and pinch every corner of the suit. Once, he'd grabbed a large part of it with his hand that Gabriel though he was going to rip it off him. Which he didn't, fortunately. When they arrive at the event, Adrien would scratch his suit to show his annoyance until the end of the event.
Now he wasn't doing any of those. At least... not in the first five minutes once he stepped out of his room.
Well they should be going now. A movie dedicated to the heroic actions of Team Miraculous was making its big premiere today. Everyone was talking non-stop about it for weeks. The whole place will be packed with the loyal, enthusiastic, fans who worship Team Mira-ohhhhhh...
Now he gets it.
Like their boss, Nathalie and the Gorilla were surprised when Adrien happily greeted them. In a suit. When they looked at their boss for an answer, probably Akuma Attack-related, he raised an eyebrow as if telling them it was so obvious.
Seconds later after they boarded the limo, the two finally realized.
"You humans sure are slow in pointing out the obvious." Plagg remarked, much to the annoyance of the three adults, and to the confusion of his holder.
"He's not complaining about the suit... Why isn't he complaining about the suit? He always complain about the suit."
Chloe arrived earlier with her father at the theater where they were showing the premiere of the Miraculous movie. When she first heard about the movie from her classmates, she almost gave out her alter-ego, Queen Bee, but was stopped by Alya "accidentally" bumping into her. Despite that, she was happy that there was a movie dedicated to the hero side of her that no one, except her teammates, Gabriel, Nathalie, and the Gorilla, knows about.
When the Agrestes arrived, she was surprised to see Adrien in a suit. Smiling.
He never smiles that much with that suit on.
That's when realization hits her, "Oh no."
"Hey Chlo, let's grab a snack before the big show, 'kay?" Adrien greeted rather cheerfully, much to his friend's annoyance.
The moment he went straight to the table where snacks were being served, Chloe muttered, "He's not gonna break, is he?"
"We'll see." Gabriel replied.
This movie is the greatest thing that ever happened to Adrien. For him and every Miraculous fans who came, it was a glorious event for great opportunities; To cement bonds with friends... to create memories with families...
To grab a little treat before the premiere...
"Excuse me." He proudly raises one finger at one of the caterers, "Can I get a-aaaaaaahhhhh-!"
When his father, Chloe, Nathalie, and the Gorilla caught up to him, they found him frozen in complete shock.
Then he ran.
"There we go."
"How is he?" Gabriel asked Plagg as he emerged from his holder's hiding place.
AKA... The boys' restroom.
"How do I put this...?" Plagg pondered, before pulling Pollen beside him, then began speaking just like Adrien, "Excuse me, miss..."
Pollen slightly screamed and looks away from Plagg, covering her face with her little hands, "I'm sorry!"
From inside the boys' restroom, Adrien groaned in annoyance as he listens to Plagg impersonating him in a mocking way while Chloe and the three adults who live with him slightly chuckle in amusement.
Worst of all, he had to agree with his kwami's impersonation.
He wasn't only excited to see the movie. He was excited to get a snack before the movie.
...
Okay! Fine! Marinette and her uncle are caterers for the movie. And once she sees him in his handsome suit, (the same suit he still can't get comfortable in) she'll be charmed by how handsome he looked, which will take him one step further on the relationship ladder: From Friends to Slightly Close Friends.
But alas... fate has a way of turning against him.
When he approached Marinette... she smiled at him...
While wearing a maid's uniform..! With her hair in a bun...!
And just like what Plagg and Pollen were horribly impersonating, he thought Marinette saw him as an intimidating, high-class snob while wearing the suit instead of a kind, gentle gentleman. Just like the maids in those movies he watched for references.
Now he can never face his princess ever again!
...
No! If he gives up that easily, then how can he call himself the leader of Team Miraculous? If everyone knew who Chat Noir really is, they'd mock him for being afraid to ask a normal (yet not-so-much normal) girl out.
Outside, the adults and Chloe tried so hard to restrain their laughter as "Maid Marinette" bumped into "Fancy Adrien", giving him a "nosebleed" in the process. At that moment, Adrien emerged from the Boys' room with his confidence restored.
"Right on time." Nathalie checked an item off her list on her tablet.
Now to wait for the time when the Gorilla has to catch him when he faints, or Akuma Attack.
She's sooo cute in that bun...!
Adrien snapped out of his daze. He needed to prove to Marinette that he was a true gentleman, with or without the suit.
First of... He can't say 'hi' to her. Because she's busy.
But he can give back an old lady a wallet she just dropped.
It... didn't go well. He didn't see that "Wet Floor" sign, slipped, then bumped into the old lady. The attention he got from the movie-goers forced him to flee and hide behind a cardboard cut-out of his superhero persona.
Attempt no. 2 involved helping a lost little girl find her mommy.
That actually backfired faster than the last one, as the mommy found them first.
Plus it turned out that she was the overprotective type. Meaning: She misunderstood Adrien's intentions and slapped him on the face.
While Adrien recovered from the misunderstanding, everyone else's attention was turned to two people who have just arrived at the scene, cosplaying as two certain characters dressed in dark violet. The younger cosplayer smirked as fans began taking pictures, clueless of what was really going to happen next.
"Nino, how soon can you get here before the premiere starts?" Gabriel asked his son's friend over the phone while Adrien nervously paced back and forth trying to find another (probably unsuccessful) way to impress Marinette.
During his nervous session, Adrien bumped into the cosplayers. He turns to apologize, but stopped, surprised to see the fans cosplaying as his two foes.
He had to take a selfie with these guys.
Chloe joined them, and the four smiled as Nathalie was about to take their picture.
"Nice suit, Cutie." The fan cosplaying as Mariposa whispered to Adrien.
Adrien's eyes widened as the picture was taken. "Cutie"...?
When the "fans" left, Adrien pulled Chloe to a secluded corner where no one could see, or hear, them.
At that time, the cosplaying "fans" decided to put on a little act, just to get the people even more hyped before the premiere. This grabbed everyone's attention, including Gabriel's.
When the man cosplaying as Hawk Moth spoke to the unfortunate victim, Gabriel was surprised he sounded just like the real Hawk Moth.
...
That's because he is...!
Gabriel cursed himself for not realizing it sooner as the director was surrounded in black smoke, beginning his transformation as the Butterflies' new lackey. Ever since the villains' first appeared, he's been studying their every move; how they control their victims, their behaviors, their fighting styles, etc. And yet, he wasn't even a bit suspicious that actors would come and put on a show just minutes before the actual show started.
When the transformation was complete, the fans went wild; taking pictures and clapping their hands non-stop at the amazing "act".
"And..." Mariposa smiled mischievously, "action."
The akumatized director went on a rampage. It was at that moment everyone realized that they were in the middle of an actual AkumaAttack and began screaming and running away in fear.
Luckily for them, they lived another day to see the movie. All thanks to the heroic efforts of Team Miraculous.
He managed to save the day, yet failed to impress the girl of his dreams.
"Look at the bright side:" Chloe attempted to cheer up her friend as they took their seats, "At least you get to see how awesome you are on screen."
It's how his superhero persona is portrayed via animated movie.
Adrien moped in his seat. He should be excited that he gets to be one of the few people who would see the movie, but he wished he was outside, eating macaroons with-
"Hey Adrien."
-?!
Adrien almost jumped out of his seat, but managed to keep his cool, while almost succeeding in hiding his nervous smile, "Marinette..."
"Wha-what are you doing here?" Chloe asked, also surprised to see her rival in love sitting beside her childhood friend.
"Funny story: The director gave me his seat in exchange for macaroons. What luck, huh?" Marinette explained, "By the way. Nice suit."
"Thanks." Adrien kept grinning, "Luck..."
Chloe groaned in her seat. There was no way Adrien was going to watch the entire movie.
But he did. And everyone agreed that it was the best Miraculous movie ever made.
Until the sequel.
