We begin in Marinette's Room. Tikki is watching a talk show that is being hosted by Nadja Chamack called Face to Face on TV5.
"Tonight, for our first edition of Face To Face, you'll have the opportunity of a lifetime. The chance to talk live with Ladybug, Cat Noir, Hope and Emily. Along with me, Nadja Chamack. We'll be revealing some sizzling hot information about your favorite superheroes. Don't be bemused, it's just the news" Said Nadja. "Sizzling hot revelations?" Asked Tikki.
Marinette is sewing whilst Tikki approaches her.
"Can you believe it Tikki? An entire hour-long special about the Heroes of Paris. Pretty exciting, huh?" Asked Marinette.
Tikki flies around Marinette while warning her about the consequences upon joining the talk show.
"Marinette, you're a superhero, not a star. You have to remain a mystery to protect yourself from Hawk Moth and his super villains" Said Tikki.
Marinette lets Tikki rest in her palm and calms her down.
"Don't worry, I only accepted this because I want the people of Paris to know that Cat Noir and I will always do whatever it takes to keep them safe" Said Marinette. "Just be careful tonight, okay?" Asked Tikki. "Tonight? What do you mean tonight?" Asked Marinette.
Marinette picks up her phone to check her babysitting schedule.
"Tonight I have babysitting, the show is tomorrow" Said Marinette. "Don't forget, tonight. Face To Face, live with the Heroes of Paris" Said Nadja.
Marinette shrieks anxiously and looks back at the monitor and her phone simultaneously.
"And that's probably why you babysit tonight" Said Tikki. "Marinette!" Declared Mannon.
Marinette turns off her monitor after hearing Manon's voice. Along with Nadja, Manon runs up the stairs, leaps on to Marinette, hugging her.
"Marinette!" Declared Mannon. "Manon. Mrs. Chamack, I, uh, I just saw your ad for your show... tonight" Said Marinette. "Sorry, I'm running late. Thanks again for watching Manon" Said Nadja.
Nadja hands Manon's backpack over to Marinette and checks her phone.
"I've put a bunch of things for her in her bag and she's already had dinner. Oh, I'm so glad you were free tonight" Said Nadja. "Uh, yeah. I had no other plans. No plans at all" Said Marinette, as she places Manon's backpack onto her chair and chuckles nervously. "I better get going. I've got a lot writing on this interview. I need all of Paris in front of the screen tonight. Sweetie, just for tonight, you're allowed to watch some television with Marinette" Said Nadja. "Yay! Mommy's gonna be on TV with Ladybug, Cat Noir and those other heroes!" Declared Mannon, as she climbs on top of Marinette's shoulders. "You'll do great, Mrs. Chamack. Besides, you already have two viewers" Said Marinette. "Wish me luck and tell all your friends to tune in" Said Nadja. "I will!" Declared Marinette.
Nadja and Marinette both wave at each other after Nadja leaves. Manon starts running around Marinette's room and starts jumping on her bed whilst Marinette dials Alya on her phone.
"Uh, Alya?" Asked Marinette.
Some time later, at the TVi studio. Nadja Chamack and the staff are getting ready as she eats a chouquette.
"We're on air in 10 and still no Cat in sight. You sure you have this in control, Nadja?" Asked Arlette, from her booth overlooking the Studio. "Yes, Arlette. I got this, as promised. Biggest audience of the year!" Declared Nadja. "Well let's hope so, if you want to keep this show prime-time in the future" Said Arlette. "Look Emily, they pulled out the big kid chairs for us secondary heroes" Said Hope, as he and Emily walked onto the set. "Yes, I see. Those are definitely not going to be comfortable" Said Emily. "And we went and got haircuts for this and everything" Said Hope, as he and Emily sat down in chairs behind the couch. "Uh… but nothing has changed about the both of you…" Said Nadja. "… Ok, so maybe before the Barber could do the haircut he may have been possessed by Anubis and tried to kill us, so we beat him up and took the disk in retaliation…" Said Hope. "Yeah, thank god that he couldn't use Anubis for anything else" Said Emily. "What's Anubis?" Asked Cat Noir, as he gulps down a drink. "Which way did you come in?" Asked Nadja. "Secret celebrity door. I see Ladybug's running behind, huh?" Asked Cat Noir. "She's late. There's always one who's late" Said Hope. "I thought you'd all arrive together" Said Nadja. "Wanna hear a secret? I love chouquettes" Said Cat Noir. "Wait, there's chouquettes?" Asked Emily. "Is that the sizzling hot information I've been promised?" Asked Arlette, through Nadja's earpiece headset. "No, of course not" Said Nadja. "Well, you know the rules. Primetime, prime info. No info, no more show!" Declared Arlette. "We're on the air in 5" Said a Staff Member. "I'm sorry, she's not picking up" Said Cat Noir. "Maybe she's busy saving Paris" Said Hope. "Or perhaps she's just swamped with other things… sounds like her…" Said Emily. "I get front row if she doesn't make it" Said Hope, as he gulped down a drink.
Meanwhile, in Marinette's room. Manon and Alya are playing together on the floor.
"Super Manon to the rescue, woohoo!" Declared Alya. "To the Eiffel Tower and beyond!" Declared Mannon. "Glad you could make it last minute, Alya" Said Marinette. "Of course, it's way more fun watching your favorite superhero on TV with my favorite girls" Said Alya.
Marinette watches the live broadcast on air and gulps anxiously.
"When we return from commercial, Nadja Chamack will be joined by The Heroes of Paris for an incredible, exclusive interview" Said Arlette. "Mommy, there's mommy!" Declared Mannon, as she points at Nadja on the monitor. "Why can't I get an exclusive interview like that for my Ladyblog?" Asked Alya. "Oh, I forgot to err, tell my bakery something. They're in the parents downstairs. Do you mind keeping an eye on Manon while I'm not here?" Asked Marinette. "Don't you mean tell your parents something in the bakery?" Asked Alya. "Err, right. Well, err, sometimes, it can take a while - they don't always understand even when I explain. Err, actually, it's not their fault, they..." Stuttered Marinette. "Marinette?" Asked Alya. "Yes?" Asked Marinette. "Go" Said Alya. "Right!" Declared Marinette.
Marinette then leaves with running down the stairs and starts talking to Tikki.
"Alya's such a good friend, I feel so guilty for inviting her over just so I can leave her with Manon - then again, Alya is Ladybug's biggest fan - she'd be crushed if her favorite superhero didn't turn up for her favorite TV show" Said Marinette. "It's your choice, Marinette" Said Tikki. "Well... Tikki, spots on! Ha!" Declared Marinette.
Marinette transforms into Ladybug, before she flings her Yo-yo and flies away, above Paris. At the TVi Studio, Nadja's show is about to go live.
"Going live in ten, nine..." Said a staff member. "Eight seconds from the greatest fail in TV history" Said Arlette. "Five, four, three..." Said a staff member.
Ladybug suddenly kicks open the studio doors, uses her Yo-yo to fly across the TV studio and lands on the couch, seated beside Cat Noir.
"I thought you decided to stand me up, m'lady!" Declared Cat Noir. "I knew you'd come, I just thought that you had, I don't know, misremembered the date or something" Said Emily. "And let the audience down? Never. I'm sorry I'm so late, Nadja" Said Ladybug. "Saved by the bug! Well, now, I'm counting on you to boost to those ratings sky high" Said Arlette.
Nadja looks at her watch, hoping for her ratings to increase.
"Make that red turn green" Said Arlette.
People in Paris such as the Césaire residence, Chloé Bourgeois, André Bourgeois, Gabriel Agreste and civilians are watching the live broadcast.
"Good evening. I'm Nadja Chamack and this is Face To Face. For our first edition, I welcome the beloved guardians of Paris. Ladybug, Cat Noir, Hope Xiao Rose and Emily Dual" Said Nadja.
The superheroes wave towards the camera and the audience.
"Hello, thanks so much for accepting this exclusive live interview" Said Nadja. "Well, thank you Nadja, we're honored to be here" Said Ladybug. "And hello to all my fans!" Declared Cat Noir.
Cat Noir blows kisses and winks towards the camera and the audience.
"I'm sure thousands have tuned in to watch you tonight" Said Nadja. "Don't encourage him, Nadja, or the cat won't stop purring all night" Said Ladybug. "Don't listen to her. Bugaboo's just a spot jealous" Said Cat Noir. "Hey, I thought we agreed on no more Bugaboo calling, pussycat" Said Ladybug, as she rings Cat Noir's bell. "But it's so cute" Said Cat Noir. "And they told us to be professional" Said Hope.
Nadja stares at her watch and notices the ratings for her show has slightly increased. She then giggles to clam her nervousness
"It's obvious Ladybug and Cat Noir are very close" Said Nadja. "Marinette is missing the whole thing" Said Mannon, in Marinette's room. "What could that girl be doing?" Said Alya. "People know you, Emily and Hope, but they don't really know you, Ladybug and Cat Noir. We see you saving Paris but we don't know anything else about you" Said Nadja. "We won't be keeping anything from you, Nadja" Said Cat Noir. "Except for the obvious things, like secret identities, ages, home locations, and possibly any weaknesses and allergies" Said Emily. "Technically, we can lie about them and nobody will actually know if we're right or not, especially since we don't know who they are" Said Hope. "Oh, so we shouldn't say that these two are teenaged twins who live east of the Eiffel Tower and have a shellfish allergy?" Asked Emily. "Oh dear, definitely shouldn't say that" Said Hope. "Hey, you two! Hawk Moth might investigate that" Said Ladybug. "Oh please, like Hawk Moth would watch this. He's probably watching medical dramas or something" Said Hope.
Nadja notices that the ratings of her show is frequently increasing.
"How about we start a few questions from your biggest fans?" Asked Nadja. "Aha, Yup, let's do it" Said Ladybug. "It definitely gets us away from the sensitive topics" Said Emily.
Nadja swipes an automatic remote control from her tablet which is connected to the huge monitor display, revealing a community call from Chloé from her room. Chloé waves at the audience from the monitor display.
"Hello caller. State your name and your question" Said Nadja. "Err, seriously Nadja? Surely, no one would be the first caller but me. I'm only the most prestigious fan of Ladybug" Said Chloe. "When did Alya Césaire become a blonde?" Snarked Hope. "I'm pretty sure she's third behind Alya and Cat Noir" Said Emily. "Why am I second?" Asked Cat Noir. "Because between her partner who wants to be in a relationship with her and someone who made a blog based on her, she'd prefer the Blogger" Said Emily. "Oh yes, of course. Hello there, Chloé Bourgeois. Daughter of the mayor of Paris..." Said Nadja. "And don't forget my daddy is the manager of the Grand Paris, the best luxury hotel in the entire city" Said Chloe. "Err, thank you for reminding us. What is your question, Chloé?" Asked Nadja. "Oh, I don't have a question. I just wanted to say hi, since as you all know, we're such very good friends. Ladybug, Cat Noir, Hope, Emily and I!" Declared Chloé.
Nadja notices that her ratings of her show are slightly decreasing.
"Uh, thank you, Chloé Bourgeois. Next caller..." Said Nadja. "Hey, I'm not finished, who gives you the right to…" Said Chloe.
Nadja disconnects the call between her and Chloé.
"Uh, apologies about that. Chloé… is an interesting person. To say the least…" Said Hope.
The feed changes to a display of Marinette's room with Alya and Mannon, making Ladybug silently panic.
"Hi there, Ladybug, Cat Noir, Hope and Emily. I'm Alya and I was wondering if you can grab me an interview for the Ladyblog. You know, since I have way more viewers than Nadja! What do you say?" Asked Alya, making Nadja gasp. "Err, yeah…" Said Ladybug. "Alya. You know that you could have called me or Emily to set something like this all up. Why would you go onto someone else's show just to ask us?" Asked Hope. "Uh, well…" Said Alya. "I'm on TV? Mommy!" Declared Mannon. "Manon? But, where's Marinette?" Asked Nadja, making Ladybug silently panic again. "She had to go tell her parents something" Said Manon. "Err, yeah, and sometimes, it can take a while" Said Alya. "Oh yeah, if there's one thing I know about Marinette it's that the most things take her an extraordinary amount of time. It's almost like she has some sort of secret identity…" Said Hope, making Ladybug silently panic again. "What's going on, Nadja? Is this some kind of joke? Just get to the scoop, now!" Shouted Arlette, from Nadja's Earpiece. "Uh, well, Marinette is also a klutz" Said Emily. "Oh, yeah. Marinette is a massive klutz. She probably knocks herself out while getting around. Maybe" Said Hope.
Nadja disconnects the live call between her, Alya and Manon.
"Uh, Ladybug, Cat Noir, Hope and Emily, um, so a lot of fans think of you as a couple of superheroes. But also, and I quote unquote, as a pair of couples. Period" Said Nadja. "What?" Asked Ladybug. "Can you confirm that you're dating here, tonight?" Asked Nadja. "Uh, hold on. How do those couples break down now?" Asked Emily. "Well, it's most likely that Ladybug and Cat Noir are one couple, and you and Hope are the other" Said Nadja. "Oh my god, Emily! We were most likely dating!? Why didn't you tell me, I would have brought you chocolates or something" Said Hope. "Uh uh, I'm very sorry Nadja, but we're superheroes. We're not here to answer such personal questions" Said Ladybug. "Meow, m'ladybug's grown claws" Said Cat Noir. "I agree, but we should clear up such things, Ladybug. Me and Emily aren't in a relationship, Nadja. And we shouldn't be anyway, because in truth, Emily's family adopted me a long time ago. She's my best friend, and I'll always be grateful for what she's done for me. As for Ladybug and Cat Noir, they aren't dating either" Said Hope. "Thank you Hope. We're here to ensure all Parisians that they're safe and that it's only a matter of time before we defeat Hawk Moth, that's all" Said Ladybug. "You told me you had a inside scoop" Said Arlette. "I do… Ladybug, Cat Noir. How do you explain these photographs then?" Asked Nadja.
Nadja Chamack uses her tablet and displays a photo of Ladybug and Cat Noir kissing which bewilders the superheroes.
"What? When did that happen?" Asked Cat Noir, oblivious. "I was saving you, not kissing you!" Declared Ladybug, infuriated. "I'm guessing this was something I wasn't around for" Said Hope. "Yeah, that was the Dark Cupid case" Said Emily. "And I'm guessing they are kissing because Dark Cupid made everyone fall madly in love" Said Hope. "The opposite, actually" Said Emily. "Huh…" Said Hope. "Good job, keep that up!" Declared Arlette.
Nadja Chamack notices that her ratings standard have improved and then displays various images of Ladybug and Cat Noir on to the monitor display. The superheroes gasp out of shock upon looking at the images
"Oh my god…" Said Hope. "It's so obvious that you're both in love" Said Nadja. "These are just a bunch of photos taken out of context! We're only doing our job. We save the city every day, we're not a couple" Said Ladybug. "But hopefully, one day..." Said Cat Noir. "Cat...not now!" Declared Ladybug. "Why won't you tell the truth?" Asked Nadja. "But it is the truth, Nadja" Said Ladybug. "C'mon, the audience awaits your answer" Said Nadja. "Hey! What is with you, Nadja!?" Said Hope.
Hope stands up and reassuring puts his hand on Ladybug's shoulder.
"What do you mean?" Asked Nadja. "Ladybug has already answered your question, and yet you aren't satisfied her answer or the truth. In fact, you act as those two are two different things. What answer are you looking for, Nadja? Because whatever it is, it will not be the truth" Said Hope. "But they are in love! I just…" Said Nadja. "You are a journalistic representative, Nadja. The truth is not some clay you can mould into your design. I think this interview is over" Said Hope, as he, Ladybug and Emily started to leave. "Woah, what's the rush?" Asked Cat Noir. "We all have better things to do then suffer such indignity. Self inflicted or otherwise" Said Hope. "Uh… Gotta get going!" Declared Cat Noir, as he also started to leave. "Don't let them leave" Said Arlette. "Hey.. Wait you guys, the show is not over yet. Your fans will be disappointed if they don't get an answer" Said Nadja. "If they are true fans, they'll understand" Said Ladybug. "The Lady's right!" Said Cat Noir. "Goodbye and Goodnight, Le Gay Paris" Said Hope.
The heroes then exit the studio. After the show stops being broadcasted, advertisements start showing up. Alya and Manon are perplexed.
"Well, say bye bye, Nadja. This is officially your first and last primetime show" Said Arlette.
Arlette walks off with the lights in the studio turning off. Nadja begins to sob in disappointment. Meanwhile, in Hawk Moth's lair. Hawk Moth's window screen opens.
"A journalist ridiculed by The Heroes of Paris. Now that's the perfect prey. Fly away, my little akuma, and evilize her!" Declared Hawk Moth, as he turns a butterfly into an akuma.
The akuma leaves the lair window and flies above Paris. Meanwhile, in TVi Studio. Nadja continues crying. The akuma flies in and is absorbed into Nadja's watch, which Nadja is wearing. She looks up with an angry face and a glowing pink butterfly symbol.
"Prime Queen, I am Hawk Moth. I see the Heroes of Paris have denied you the answers you deserve. Take the Miraculous and will get your scoop" Said Hawk Moth. "The highest ratings will be mine" Said Prime Queen.
Nadja is transformed into Prime Queen by the Akuma. Meanwhile, on the room of the TVi Studio. Ladybug and Cat Noir reach the top of the TVi roof, as Hope and Emily stand waiting for them. They then start talking to each other.
"Thank you for standing up for me" Said Ladybug. "Agh… I shouldn't have had to in the first place. Nadja was more willing to do anything to make sure her show would be a success than take the truth" Said Hope. "Well, I think we should depart from this unfortunate place. I wonder if André's selling ice cream at this hour?" Asked Emily. "Ice cream would be nice" Said Cat Noir. "Let's go track him down before we all go home" Said Hope. "Ok" Said Ladybug.
Ladybug swings away and Cat Noir follows after her before Hope and Emily teleport away.
Meanwhile, in Marinette's room. Alya and Manon watching television but don't find anything good on.
"Ugh my interview would've been so much better" Said Alya. "Why can't we see mommy on TV anymore and where's Marinette?" Said Manon. "I'm sure she'll be back soon before you can say super Mano…" Said Alya.
Alya looks over to Manon, who has fallen asleep. Alya carries her to Marinette's bed, and places her on top of it. Alya returns to the T.V, and goes to turn it off before a hand comes out of the tv and grabs her wrist.
"Welcome to a new show, hosted by me, Prime Queen" Said Prime Queen.
Meanwhile, On a rooftop. Cat Noir, Ladybug, Hope and Emily are eating ice cream overlooking a giant screen, before it turns on to reveal Prime Queen.
"Don't be bemused, it's just the news" Said Prime Queen. "Nadja?" Asked Cat Noir and Ladybug. "I didn't think I was that mean…" Said Hope. "Tonight, Ladybug and Cat Noir disappointed all their loyal fans by refusing to admit their love for one another. I've prepared some trials just to see how far they're prepared to keep the truth hidden from us" Said Prime Queen, as Chloe's room appears on screen.
Prime Queen crawls through the screen in Chloé's room
"Hmm" Said Prime Queen. "Hey! You're not allowed to come in here! Security!" Declared Chloe.
Prime Queen wraps rope around Chloé and pulls her towards her
"Let's welcome our very first guest, Chloé Bourgeois, who's apparently a personal friend of our superheroes" Said Prime Queen. "I certainly am" Said Chloe.
Meanwhile, with Cat Noir, Ladybug, Hope and Emily on the rooftops
"Just proves that you can't believe everything you see on TV" Said Ladybug.
Back to Chloé's room. "Well then, dear Chloé, let's find out if you really can count on them as true friends" Said Prime Queen.
Prime Queen snaps her fingers and changes screen to a subway station. Prime Queen goes through a screen on the subway platform and pulls Chloé in with her. The subway train stops and everyone runs out as Prime Queen drags Chloé onto the train.
"Hey, watch it! You're wrinkling my clothes! Do you realize how much they cost?" Asked Chloé.
Prime Queen goes into the cab of the train, causing the driver to run away in fear before she puts the subway train into full speed and Chloé falls over, getting gum stuck to her jacket.
"Ugh, this can't be happening to me! I never, ever take the subway train! It's so, so, not me! Ugh, gross!" Declared Chloé, as she sees the gum stuck on her jacket. "Welcome, to the subway of suspense! If it reaches seventy miles per hour, you can say goodbye to you precious little friend" Said Prime Queen.
Cuts to speedometer, track, then back to Ladybug, Cat Noir, Hope and Emily.
"Well, well, look here, the ratings are rising! More and more of you want to know if our superhero friends will get here on time. The suspense is killing her! Ladybug! Cat Noir! Emily! Hope! Are you willing to travel through the screen to save your darling Chloé?" Asked Prime Queen. "Ladybug, Cat Noir! I beg you, save my jacket!" Declared Chloé.
Hope aims a revolver at the screen and fires twice, with the bullets going through the screen and hitting a pole.
"Well, I'm quite happy that it didn't end up shattering the screen" Said Hope. "Or hitting Chloé?" Asked Cat Noir. "Please. I could give you a haircut with a bolt-action from the Eiffel Tower. Active or not" Said Hope. "Active?" Asked Cat Noir. "Moving. As in you, moving" Said Emily. "Well, shall we take the leap?" Asked Hope. "What if it's a trap? I think I'd rather get there by my own means" Said Ladybug. "There are many, many subway lines in Paris, which means a hundred and forty miles of rails. If we want to get there in time to save Chloé, I don't think we have a choice" Said Cat Noir, in a matter of fact manner. "Then me and Emily will go. You can track our location" Said Hope. "Aw…" Said Cat Noir. "Just admit you love being on TV, Cat Noir" Said Ladybug. "I don't get stage fright, Bugaboo" Said Cat Noir. "Cute, you two" Said Hope.
Emily and Hope jump into and through the screen, arriving at the Subway train that Chloé is held captive in.
"Ugh, finally, what took you so long? Hurry up and get me out of this underground nightmare! Woah!" Said Chloe, as she falls over. "Hallo, my dears. Might I ask just what your trying to do, Nadja?" Asked Hope.
Emily tries to open the door to the cab of the train.
"It's shut tight" Said Emily. "Then stoping this train isn't a priority. Getting Chloé is" Said Hope. "Right. So the question remains. What's your goal, Nadja?" Asked Emily. "I'm not her! I'm Prime Queen! You're about to be the stars of the highest rated show in all of TV history!" Declared Prime Queen. "Then we better make an amazing debut! Shall we use it, Emily?" Asked Hope, as he held up the Revice Driver. "Well, it's pretty cramp, but it can work" Said Emily. "Then let's do it" Said Hope.
Hope puts the Revice Driver on his waist, witch announces "Revice Driver!". Hope then holds up the Rex Vistamp and pressed the Activate Knock, making it announce "Rex!" as Hope stamped it again Emily's hand before stamping it onto the screen of the Revice Driver making it announce "Come on! Re-Re-Re-Rex!". Hope then places the Rex Vistamp into the Vistamp Go Slot before pulling it to the side, revolving the screen and making it announce "Buddy Up! Ohing! Shoning! Rolling! Going! Kamen Rider! Revi! Vice! Revice!", as Hope and Emily transformed into Kamen Rider Revi and Kamen Rider Vice, respectively.
"Wow… this is definitely comfortable" Said Hope. "I feel like I'm just along for the ride" Said Emily. "So, nothing new?" Asked Hope. "Funny, you" Said Emily. "Exciting! It appears that the two lovers have transformed using one belt!" Declared Prime Queen. "Hey! We already told you, we aren't in love!" Declared Emily.
Emily rushed forward and went to strike Prime Queen before she dodged backwards and jumped through a screen, appearing out from another screen only to be pushed back through the screen by Hope and hit by Emily. Emily then picks up Prime Queen and slams her down onto the ground next to Chloe.
"These suits are definitely amazing!" Declared Hope. "Always knew it would be a great present" Said Emily.
Ladybug and Cat Noir break into the train through a window.
"We're here!" Declared Ladybug. "Good. She's right… where'd they go?" Asked Hope, looking around the now Prime Queen Chloé free carriage.
Prime Queen appears on a screen.
"The rules for my show are simple, admit the truth live on TV that you're dating and in love and I'll stop the train!" Declared Prime Queen. "A superhero never lies! We won't admit to something that's not true" Said Ladybug. "I want my scoop!" Declared Prime Queen. "You want a scoop? The Miraculous Ladybug, the Mysterious Cat Noir and the Kamen Riders Revi and Vice defeat the manipulative Prime Queen! More in six" Said Emily. "I have to agree with my friend" Said Hope. "Yes, but please remember. Chloe is nowhere to be seen" Said Ladybug. "So, how do we get to her?" Asked Hope. "We don't. We have to lure her over her first or we'll never capture her akuma! So let's just play along with her, at least it'll buy us some time" Said Ladybug. "Meaning?" Said Cat Noir. "Oh no…" Said Hope. "Okay Prime Queen, you win. I confess, Cat Noir and I are dating, like you said. We are in..love" Said Ladybug, as she holds Cat Noir's hand as he looks shocked.
Prime Queen stops the train, and Cat Noir and Ladybug are thrown back and Ladybug lands on his chest, making Cat Noir purr.
"Did I just hear you purr?" Asked Ladybug. "Uh, no way!" Declared Cat Noir, nervously. "I can't believe these two" Said Emily, as Hope removed the Revice Driver, canceling their transformations. "Our two heroic lovebirds are saving their fan's life by admitting their true feelings. Our viewers are going crazy! But, our TV ratings haven't maxed out yet. You must do better!" Said Prime Queen. "Then come and join us, Prime Queen. You're the host and the star of the show after all. Then you'll have your ratings" Said Ladybug. "Yeah. You come down here and a second confession may soon follow" Said Hope. "Hope!" Yelled Emily. "Order them to give you their Miraculous!" Declared Hawk Moth. "My show, my rules! To prove that your feelings are genuine, you're going to have to both give me your Miraculous!" Declared Prime Queen. "Not a chance, Prime Queen!" Declared Ladybug. "Wait, I know how we can prove our feelings" Said Cat Noir. "Oh, this'll be worth it" Said Hope.
Cat Noir grabs Ladybug by the shoulders and leans in for a kiss
"Pucker up" Said Cat Noir.
Prime Queen watches in anticipation
"Not a chance, kitty" Said Ladybug, unimpressed.
Cat Noir looks down disappointedly
"Well, I was hoping to use this when you got here, Prime Queen. But I should confess that I am the true lover of Ladybug!" Declared Hope.
Hope gently grasps Ladybug's hand and leans in for a kiss
"Play along" Whispered Hope.
Prime Queen watches in anticipation
"Not a chance, Hope" Said Ladybug, unimpressed. "That's fair…" Said Hope. "Then it's time for my confession" Said Cat Noir. "I don't think I'll let you try again" Said Ladybug. "No. I truly love another. And her name is Emily" Said Cat Noir. "Huh?" Asked Emily.
Cat Noir grabs Emily by the shoulders and leans in for a kiss
"Pucker up" Said Cat Noir.
Prime Queen watches from the screen, before Emily puts a finger to Cat Noir's lips and pushes him away.
"Even if I swung your way, or you were old enough, you could never handle me. So don't even bother" Said Emily. "Brutal…" Said Ladybug.
Prime Queen turns off the screen
"Is the show over?" Asked Hope, as he knocks on the screen. "If we can't get to her, we'll never be able to capture her akuma!" Declared Ladybug.
The screen turns back on and Prime Queen is in the Louvre Museum. Prime Queen talks to the heroes through the screen
"My dear viewers, you are in for the reveal of a lifetime!" Declared Prime Queen.
Prime Queen opens a trio of Sarcophagus with Alya, Mannon and Chloé tied up inside.
"Ladybug, help me, please!" Declared Alya, through the screen while struggling with her binds. "Oh wait, isn't this the girl who started the famous Ladyblog? The first one who ever filmed Ladybug? And her best friend as well! And an innocent child as well" Said Prime Queen. "Ah! No, Alya! Mannon!" Declared Ladybug. "And Chloé as well…" Said Hope. "Next trial, you're Miraculous! Or else your biggest fans will be mummified!" Declared Prime Queen.
Cat Noir almost falls through the screen as it becomes able to travel through
"Let's leap in, before she runs!" Declared Ladybug. "Well, it's not like there's a faster way… let's dive through" Said Hope.
Cat Noir and Emily nods and they all jump through the screen. Ladybug, Cat Noir, Hope and Emily end up landing in a walk in freezer in the kitchen of the restaurant in Le Grand Paris.
"We're not at the Louvre..." Said Cat Noir. "It was a double-cross!" Declared Ladybug, as she struggles to open the freezer.
Prime Queen laughs through the screen
"We aren't going to be able to open that from in here" Said Hope. "Uh, Cataclysm?" Asked Cat Noir. "No point. We're too far from the Lourve. But… I mean… let's just give it a second" Said Hope. "If we wait, it'll be too late to save them all!" Declared Ladybug, frustrated. "There is one thing you must know. If you believe in something, it will happen. So if you believe that we cannot save them, then we will fail. But if believe in our ability to save them, then I can assure you. No harm will come to them" Said Emily. "Damm… stole my words" Said Hope.
Now Ladybug, Cat Noir, Hope and Emily see Prime Queen's side of the screen
"The time has come to push those ratings sky high! Let's try this again. Remove your Miraculous and reveal your true selves! The whole world is watching you!" Declared Prime Queen. "The perfect plan, Prime Queen. They're cornered! Their Miraculous are mine!" Declared Hawk Moth. "There's no use looking for a way out! Unless, you want to see your biggest fan in deep water!" Declared Prime Queen.
Prime Queen snaps her fingers and the televisions in front of her display the Seine. Cat Noir and Ladybug gasp in shock
"Hurry up, you two. Don't wanna keep your audience waiting. Hum… I'll start with the rude younger woman… Alya" Said Prime Queen. "Got an idea. We're going to need some luck, Ladybug" Said Hope. "Ok. Lucky Charm!" Declared Ladybug, as a tape roll appears. "How is that going to help?" Asked Emily. "No, this is perfect!" Declared Ladybug, as she starts pulling out drawers, with Hope and Emily joining in the efforts. "Hurry up, she's about to push Alya in the water!" Declared Cat Noir, anxious. "One minute!" Declared Ladybug. "That's too long!" Declared Cat Noir. "Some people think a minute is plenty of time!" Declared Hope.
Prime Queen pushes the sarcophagus even further through the screen
"Found it!" Declared Emily, as she pulled a Pizza Box out of a tub. "Voilà!" Declared Ladybug.
Ladybug removes the pizza from the box and gives it to Cat Noir before she then tapes it onto the screen, making it go dark on the other side
"What's happening?" Asked Prime Queen. "Fine, you win, Prime Queen" Said Ladybug, behind a black screen.
Prime Queen listens agitatedly
"We'll remove our Miraculous. The whole world will see us without our masks!" Declared Ladybug. "And We're about to kiss! Shame you're missing it!" Declared Cat Noir. "On no! She's already taken hers off!" Declared Hope.
Prime Queen looks at her ratings on the watch, before balling her hands into fists.
"If you're lying, you're going to regret it" Said Prime Queen, threateningly. "Trust me. There are no liers here" Said Hope.
Prime Queen punches through the box, but someone grabs her arm and pulls themselves through the screen, revealing themselves to be Hope.
"There we go…" Said Hope. "But…" Said Prime Queen.
Prime Queen looks at the screen, revealing the freezer to be empty.
"Where did they go!?" Asked Prime Queen. "When I said that there were no liars in there, Emily had teleported them out of that freezer. Right now, they should be locating screens on the Seine and breaking them" Said Hope, as he put the Stand Player on his waist, before it formed a belt around his waist.
Hope held up the Sticky Fingers Stand Tape before he inserted the Sticky Fingers Stand Tape into the Stand Player, making it announce "Sticky Fingers, Stand Up!", before Hope pressed a button on the front of the Stand Player, making it announce "Drums beatin' cold, blood runs hot! Kakugo! Vento Aureo, Sticky Fingers!", as he transformed into Kamen Rider Stand Sticky Fingers Form.
"Kamen Rider Stand. My resolve is infinite. I recommend that you surrender" Said Hope. "Not when I'm so close" Said Prime Queen. "Then I suggest that you don't complain about what comes next" Said Hope.
Prime Queen rushes towards Hope, but Hope punches the ground beneath himself and enters the zipper that opens up, witch closes as soon as he gets through it. Prime Queen looks around the room, searching for Hope before a zipper opened up above her and Hope punches her arm, causing a zipper to appear and seperate her arm from her body.
"There we go. Now you won't be escaping anytime soon. And, I've also got your Akumatized object" Said Hope, picking up Prime Queen's watch. "No! You can't…" Said Prime Queen. "Well, I have. And now… it's time for the finish…" Said Hope.
Hope presses a button on the stand player, making it announce "Go! Sticky Fingers Overdrive! Ari ari ari arrivederci!". Hope kicks Prime Queen into the air, before he rapidly punches Prime Queen all over her body, making multiple zippers open all over her body.
"Arrivederci!" Declared Hope, as Emily, Ladybug and Cat Noir arrive. "What did you do to her?" Asked Cat Noir. "She'll be fine as long as we close this case quickly. Here's her Akumatized object" Said Hope, as he hands the watch to Ladybug. "Thank you, Hope. No more evildoing for you, little akuma. Time to de-evilize! Gotcha! Bye bye, little butterfly. Miraculous Ladybug!" Declared Ladybug, as she destroyed the Akumatized Object, catches the akuma with her yo-yo, releases it as it turns into a normal butterfly.
Ladybug throws the Lucky Charm into the air, and it explodes into a blast of energy. It turns everything back to normal, Chloé is returned to her room, Alya Mannon are returned to Marinette's house, and Prime Queen turns back into Nadja, restored to normal.
"W-w-what just happened?" Asked Nadja, confused. "Pound it!" Declared Ladybug, Emily, Hope and Cat Noir.
Meanwhile, in Hawk Moth's Lair
"Prime Queen turned out to be bad news. But soon, I'll be broadcasting the end of Ladybug and Cat Noir!" Declared Hawk Moth, as his window closes.
Back at Marinette's house, Manon is asleep and Alya is watching her.
"I'm so sorry Alya! I had no idea it would take so long to talk to my parents!" Declared Marinette, coming up the stairs. Alya walks over to her
"You won't believe it, I was taken hostage by a supervillain!" Declared Alya. "What? You're kidding!" Declared Marinette, faking surprise. "No joke! You missed everything! Luckily, Ladybug saved me" Said Alya.
Marinette smiles and then hugs Alya
"I'm so sorry I wasn't here for you" Said Marinette. "No biggie, girl. But the next time we decide to spend an evening together, you're not allowed to go anywhere near your parents" Said Alya, as she pats Marinette's head. "Deal" Said Marinette.
A few days later, On the set of the next episode of Face to Face
"Don't be bemused, it's just the news! Hi, I'm Nadja Chamack, and this is Side by Side. Today, I'm joined by Alya Césiare, who created the Ladyblog! Together, we'll be looking back over Emily, Hope, Cat Noir and Ladybug's greatest feats" Said Nadja. "Your ratings are really high, Nadja! Great job, you've earned this prime time show!" Declared Arlette, through an earpiece.
Sometime latter, at the Dupain-Cheng residence, Alya is showing Marinette and Manon the video.
"Hello Nadja! Hey fans! So, first of all, I gotta set the record straight. There are no couples in the Parisian Superhero Scene! Well, not yet at least. Sorry to break the news" Said Alya. "Hey, that's you with my mommy" Said Manon. "That's right, small fry" Said Alya. "Well done! Now everyone's going to know about the Ladyblog!" Declared Marinette. "You want an autograph?" Asked Alya. "Of course!" Declared Marinette. "Me first! Me first!" Declared Mannon.
