We start in Marinette's room. Marinette and Alya are having a meeting with Alix, Juleka, Mylène, and Rose.
"Thanks for showing up, girls. So, check this out. I've got the biggest scoop! But FYI, it's seriously hush hush. Top secret, classified information" Said Alya. "You know who Ladybug is?" Asked Alix. "No, but it's almost as hot. Marinette is…" Said Alya. "Wait, Alya. Do you really think this is such a good idea?" Said Marinette. "I don't think it is, I know it is. But remember, girls, your lips are sealed. Got it?" Asked Alya. "Mm-hmm" Said the other girls. "Well, Marinette is head over heels for somebody" Said Alya. "Yeah,Adrien" Said Alix.
All the girls chuckle at Marinette.
"What? But how did you know?" Asked Marinette. "Well, it is pretty obvious" Said Mylène. "So, do you think… I mean… Adrien knows too?" Asked Marinette. "No way. Boys never pick up on things like that" Said Rose. "Mm-hmm" Said the other girls.
Marinette sighs in relief.
"Right, so let's get down to business. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to arrange a ridiculously romantic date between Marinette and Adrien" Said Alya. "Oh, that's so sweet!" Declared Rose. "Great" Said Alix. "Big time" Said Juleka. "We know we can always count on you, Marinette. So you can count on us too" Said Mylène. "Aw, thanks, girls" Said Marinette. "You're up, Marinette" Said Alya. "Alya and I have come up with a plan. It's called Operation Secret Garden" Said Marinette. "Excuse me, but why do we need a plan? I mean, can't Marinette just go up to Adrien and ask him out?" Asked Mylène.
All the girls start laughing.
"Seriously, Mylène? This is Marinette we're talking about here. Now, each one of you will have a codename based on a flower. Alix, you'll be Violet. Mylène, you'll be Sunflower. Juleka, you'll be Rose. And Rose will be Tulip" Said Alya. "Um, why isn't my name Rose?" Asked Rose. "Because Rose is your real name" Said Alya. "It won't be a codename if we call you Rose. This afternoon, Buttercup has a photo shoot at theTrocadérofountains" Said Marinette. "Hmm..." Said Rose. "Adrien" Said Alix. "Ah" Said Rose. "Hissecurity guard, a.k.a. the Nanny, will be waiting for him in the car on the other side of the esplanade, in the chariot. He's supposed to take Buttercup back home after the photo shoot, except that's not gonna happen. This is where you guys come in. Step one: Rose will have a fake No Parking sign. She'll go over to…" Said Marinette. "Um, who's Rose again?" Asked Mylène. "Me, of course!" Declared Rose. "No, Rose. It's Juleka. You are Tulip. Violet. Sunflower. Rose. Tulip" Said Alya. "So, step one. Rose, you put the fake sign next to the Nanny's chariot" Said Marinette.
In a fantasy scene, Juleka puts her fake sign next to the bodyguard's car as Marinette Narrates.
"Step two. Sunflower, you'll go find a police officer and say to him…" Said Marinette. "Hello, Mr. Police-Officer. Oh, look! That car's parked illegally" Said Mylène. "Well, you don't say! I shall enforce the law right this second! Thank you, young lady" Said Roger.
Roger signals the bodyguard to move the car to a different location. The fantasy briefly stops.
"Step three. No more Nanny. Step four. Tiger-Lily will let us know as soon as Buttercup's done with his photo shoot" Said Marinette. "Tiger-Lily" Said Alya, as she points at herself.
Back to the fantasy scene, Alya signals that Adrien's done with his photo shoot.
"But, instead of meeting up with the Nanny, Adrien's gonna find..." Said Marinette. "Lotus" Said Alya. "That's Marinette!" Declared Rose.
Juleka, behind Rose, gives her an approving pat on the head.
"But when Buttercup sees that the chariot's gone, he'll just text his Nanny, won't he?" Asked Alix.
Marinette chuckles in mock-evil triumph, before we zoom out again
"Impossible. Buttercup always leaves his personal items in the car when he's on a photo shoot, even hisphone! Such a professional!" Declared Marinette, adoringly. "She knows everything about Adrien! Creepy, no?" Whispered Alix. "Yes! It's so romantic!" Declared Rose. "So then..." Said Marinette.
Back to the fantasy scene, Adrien sees Marinette.
"Hey, Marinette!" Said Adrian.
They walk closer to each other,Eiffel Towerin the background, as several pigeons fly away
"What are you doing here? What an incredible crazy coincidence!" Said Adrian.
"This is where Tulip springs into action! You give the signal to therickshaw driverto come and park in the Nanny's car spot, then all I need to do is say to Adrien…" Said Marinette.
Alix interrupts the fantasy with a silly expression
"Bdi-di-di-di, di-di-di-di, di-di-di-di-di-di-di-dii!" Said Alix
All the other girls laugh at Marinette.
"You're right, that's usually how it goes!" Declared Alya. "But this time I'm really ready! I've got you guys with me. I'm gonna do it, I promise!" Declared Marinette.
The girls cheer at Marinette.
"You're gonna be great!" Declared Mylène. "Wooo! Yeah!" Cheered Alix.
Back to the fantasy scene, Marinette is about to ask Adrien.
"So I say to him, Since your car's not here we might as well ride home together. Hey, look! What a co-inky-dink! There's a rickshaw right here!" Declared Marinette. "Awesome idea, Marinette! I've always dreamed of going on a rickshaw with you!" Declared Adrien.
Marinette gets into the rickshaw, pulling Adrien in with her before she speaks normally
"We take a really romantic ride along the banks of theSeineand over thePont des Artsbridge, where we just happen to run intoAndré, the sweethearts' ice cream maker" Said Marinette.
Marinette and Adrien get out of the rickshaw, holding hands. André presents them with ice cream, a green scoop on top of pink
"Then, Violet skates by and showers us with rose petals" Said Marinette.
Marinette and Adrien share the ice cream
"It's gonna be perfect!" Declared Marinette, as the fantasy ends. "It's...it's... so beautiful!" Declared Rose. "Any questions?" Asked Alya. "Which flower am I, again?" Asked Juleka. "You're Rose. That's right, right?" Asked Rose. "Mm-hmm" Said Marinette. "Yes!" Declared Rose, triumphantly.
All the girls put their hands together
"Operation: Secret Garden, here we come!" Declared Marinette.
The girls raise their hands up and cheer. Later, at The Trocadéro. Adrien is having his photo shoot.
"Come on, more happy! The smile like you're smelling a delicious lunch in ze kitchen! Ah! No, no! We need a... A lollipop!" Declared Vincent, as he notices a lollipop stand
Vincent zooms away to get to the stand. Amotheris walking by with her baby,August, in a stroller. Adrien waves at August, whose return wave makes Adrien chuckle.
"There!" Declared Vincent, as he returns with a lollipop. "Lollipop! Lollipop!" Cried August. "Now we have a good taste! Mm-hmm" Said Vincent. "Lollipop! Lollipop!" Cried August. "No, August. Lollipops are not for babies. Your snack is a delicious bottle of milk" Said August's mother, as she feeds her baby.
Above them, Alya is spying on Adrien.
"Are all the flowers planted?" Asked Alya. "Rose planted" Said Juleka, holding the fake No Parking sign near the Agreste car. "Sunflower planted" Said Mylène, hiding behind a tree from officer Roger. "Tulip planted!" Declared Rose, near the waiting rickshaw.
Back at the Trocadéro, Marinette is with Alya.
"Perfect! Go, Rose!" Declared Marinette. "Uh, me?" Asked Rose. "No, the other Rose!" Declared Alya.
Rose thinks for a moment as Juleka chuckles in amusement before pushing the cart with the fake sign toward the Agreste car. But a wheel of the cart gets stuck in a slot on a manhole cover.
"Um, you guys, I've got a problem" Said Juleka. "Rose?" Asked Marinette. "Yeah, what?" Asked Rose. "There's a problem. It's stuck in a grate" Said Juleka, quietly muttering. "Rose, louder" Said Marinette. "Yeah, what!" Shouted Rose.
At the Trocadéro, both Marinette and Alya shush Rose for being so loud. Back with Juleka, she tries to carry the fake sign herself, but has difficulty lifting it until Emily and Hope walk over and help Juleka.
"You know, Juleka, I didn't think you'd be the type to steal a roadsign" Said Emily. "It's supposed to be fake" Said Juleka. "Then why's it made of metal and not cardboard or something?" Asked Hope. "I'll have to ask Marinette" Said Juleka. "Oh no. Is this another convoluted plot to get Adrien to notice her?" Asked Emily. "Why, does he have some sort of modelling job around here?" Asked Hope. "Caution! The photo shoot of Buttercup will be over soon!" Declared Marinette, over Juleka's ear piece.
Meanwhile, at the Pont des Arts. Alix is standing around and waiting for her cue.
"Aw, seriously? Enough with the chit chat" Said Alix.
Back at the Trocadéro, Mylène begins to talk with Officer Roger.
"Huh? Oh, I know you! You're in the same class with mydaughter!" Declared Roger. "Yes I am. That car over there, it's parked illegally" Said Mylène. "I see. Thank you, young lady" Said Roger, as he walks to the car.
Meanwhile, at the Trocadéro.
"Great job, Rose" Said Marinette.
Below, August's mother is struggling to pull the stroller up the steps. Adrien notices them, concerned about her difficulties.
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! Look at me! Give me your best smile!" Declared Vincent
August notices Adrien holding the lollipop again.
"Lollipop! Lollipop!" Cried August. "No, August. Mommy told you already. You're too young for lollipops" Said August's mother.
August starts crying. Marinette notices him and his mother from above.
"That poor lady. She could really use a hand" Said Marinette. "If you do that, Adrien will see you" Said Alya.
Below, August's mother finally makes it to the top.
"Oh, here you go, honey" Said August's mother before she feeds her baby again, which calms him down
Meanwhile, back on the Parisian streets.
"Sir, move this vehicle right away. This is a no-parking zone" Said Roger.
Juleka, Hope and Emily smiles nervously as The Gorilla groans in annoyance.
"Move it! Move it! Move it!" Declared Roger
The bodyguard is about to drive away, but he immediately stops when he almost runs into a passing car.
"Be careful!" Shouted Roger.
The bodyguard continues to lose his patience as Hope, Juleka and Emily lay down the sign as Roger leaves.
"Whew… I'm gonna go check in with Marinette" Said Hope, as he stood up and walked towards Marinette and Alya.
Meanwhile, at the Trocadéro.
"Bravo, girls! Step two, commence!" Declared Marinette.
While the bodyguard has trouble finding another parking space, Marinette and Alya continue to spy on Adrien.
"It's perfect! Hold it right there!" Declared Vincent.
Marinette notices that August's mother is still having trouble lifting her stroller up more steps. The mother's phone suddenly drops from her purse.
"Oh!" Exclaimed August's mother.
Marinette and Hope immediately rush to help her.
"Lotus, Uh, Marinette! Stay here!" Exclaimed Alya.
Marinette picks up the mother's phone and gives it to her, as Hope walks to the front of the stroller to start helping the mother carry the stroller.
"Hello, ma'am. Hello, little baby" Said Marinette. "It's nice to meet the both of you" Said Hope. "Thank you so much" Said August's mother. "All right, have a good day!" Declared Vincent, waving off Adrien as the photo shoot is finished.
Alya notices that Adrien's photo shoot is over
"Look out, Buttercup's on the move!" Declared Alya.
August suddenly drops his bottle, which tumbles to the bottom of the steps. Adrien is also about to walk up there. August starts to cry again.
"Sorry" Said Hope.
Hope runs down and grabs the bottle, then returns the bottle to the mother
"Here you go" Said Hope. "Thank you, both of you" Said August's Mother. "You're welcome! Bye" Said Marinette.
While August's mother tries to calm down her son, Marinette and Hope run back to Marinette's hiding spot. On the way, she gasps when she sees that the Agreste car has come back to its original location.
"Red alert! The Nanny's back!" Exclaimed Marinette.
The girls all gasp.
"The Nanny? You mean Adrien's Bodyguard? Did you give everyone a code name?" Asked Hope. "Uh… hehehe…" Said Marinette. "Lotus and Tiger Lily, in your presence" Said Alya. "I see… then I hope you don't mind White Chrysanthemum and myself, Rose, helping out" Said Hope. "Juleka is Rose" Said Alya. "Why would you do that to Rose? Then I guess I'll take Gardenia" Said Hope.
Meanwhile, Juleka and Emily put the fake sign back up while Mylène points to the car again
"Hey you, mister! Over there! You've asked for it! I'm slapping you with a fine for a parking violation, for non-compliance with orders, and for infuriating a usually cheerful police officer!" Said Roger.
The bodyguard growls as he walks away to find Adrien. Meanwhile, inHawk Moth's lair.
"A man who takes his work very seriously, whose blood is boiled by the slightest shortfall. That's what I call an easy target for my dearakumas. Fly away, my little akuma, and evilize him!" Declared Hawk Moth.
Meanwhile, at The Trocadéro. While the Gorilla is still looking for him, he crosses paths with August and his mother.
"You're being quite stubborn today, August" Said August's Mother, as she tries to calm down her son, who's still crying.
Adrien gasps when he Marinette, Hope and Emily each see the akuma descending toward the bodyguard. But when the aggravated man catches sight of Adrien, he calms down, and the akuma flies away from him.
"What happened? His emotions just vanished!" Declared Hawk Moth. "Lollipop! Lollipop! Lollipop!" Cried August.
The akuma flies into August's ID bracelet, leaving Hawk Moth flabbergasted for a moment
"… This wasn't what I had in mind. But why not? After all, what could be more emotionally powerful than a baby throwing a giant temper tantrum?! Gigantitan, I am Hawk Moth" Said Hawk Moth. "Hawk...Moo?" Asked August. "No, not Hawk Moo. Just Hawk Moth. Well, you're going to be...big and strong, and you'll get to do...whatever you want. But in return, you must bring me back Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculous" Said Hawk Moth. "Lollipop?" Asked August. "Not lollipop. At least not before the Miraculous" Said Hawk Moth.
August transforms into Gigantitan.
"My little baby!" Shouted August's mother, shocked and frightened. "Lollipop! Lollipop!" Cried Gigantitan.
Marinette and Hope jump in to save August's mother from being stomped.
"Kids these days. They grow up so fast! Am I right?" Asked Marinette. "I swear they put all the good stuff in baby formula" Said Hope. "It's a baby!" Screamed a bystander.
Mylène, Rose, and Juleka are all about to run, as Alya starts recording another post for theLadyblog, but Mylène pulls Alya away. Gigantitan continues to cry out for a lollipop, before he pulls up a statue from its pedestal and sucks on it.
"Bleugh!" Exclaimed Gigantitan, as he tosses down the statue and starts to cry.
August picks up The Gorilla and starts to suck on him, before he throws the bodyguard away in disgust. The bodyguard lands in a tree and is covered in saliva.
"August!" Cried August's mother. "Stay out of danger, ma'am. The remaining Heroes of Paris will be here any moment now and save your little August" Said Marinette. "She's right. Emily is nearby and I'm here. We can take care of your child while waiting for Ladybug and Cat Noir to get here" Said Hope. "Thank you" Said August's mother.
August's mother runs away, as Hope teleports away with Marinette. Meanwhile, Adrien hides around the side of the Trocadéro.
"Aww, I was just about to take a cheese break!" Declared Plagg. "No time for a break" Said Emily, as she walked over to Adrien and Plagg. "Looks like Hawk Moth is getting desperate if he'd akumatize a baby" Said Adrien. "This surely has to be some kind of accident. Maybe he was trying to akumatize the mother. Being a single mother is immensely difficult, but then again she could be married… either way we have to minimise the damages to the surrounding area" Said Emily, putting on the Reborn Driver. "You're right. Plagg, claws out!" Said Adrien.
Adrien transforms into Cat Noir, as Emily transforms into Kamen Rider Reborn.
Alya, Juleka, Mylène, and Rose gather in a group huddle.
"Girls, where is Lotus?" Asked Rose.
Alya, Juleka, and Mylène stare at her in confusion
"Marinette, where is she?!" Asked Rose.
The girls all run to find Marinette Gigantitan notices the girls and tries to grab them, but they run away. Gigantitan goes to follow the girls when he suddenly hears the sound of a bell, which is shown to be Cat Noir jingling the bell he wears, with Emily standing nearby.
"Well, you're the biggest rugrat I've ever seen" Said Cat Noir, before he and Emily leaps up when Gigantitan is about to grab them. "Kitty!" Cried Gigantitan. "Let's go splish-splash, mega-baby" Said Cat Noir.
Emily and Cat Noir jump onto Gigantitan's forehead, and then down to the ground as Gigantitan starts to follow them
"Let's get our feet nice and wet. But we can't squish anyone, okay?" Asked Emily.
Behind a pillar, Marinette and Hope notice Cat Noir and Emily are luring Gigantitan away.
"Lure him to the river where there's nothing to destroy. Nice move, Cat Noir" Said Marinette. "Looks like that romantic outing with Adrien is on hold" Said Tikki. "Oh, you must be Tikki. You were in the book. It's nice to properly meet you" Said Hope. "Nice to meet you as well" Said Tikki. "Hopefully we'll be able to speak properly at a more appropriate time" Said Hope, as he put on the Stand Driver. "Tikki, spots on! Ha!" Declared Marinette.
Marinette transforms into Ladybug, as Hope transformed into Kamen Rider Stand Crazy Diamond form. Gigantitan grabs Cat Noir and is about to suck on him as Ladybug and Hope arrive
"Well, hey there, kitty cat. I see you're not much of a natural with kids, are you?" Asked Ladybug. "Are you kidding? We were just playing a fun game of tag!" Declared Cat Noir.
Using hisstaff, he escapes from Gigantitan's hands and lands next to Ladybug.
"To be clear, the objective is to not be eaten in tag" Said Hope. "Well, I didn't think he'd actually try eating me" Said Cat Noir. "The akuma's probably in his bracelet" Said Ladybug. "I think you're correct" Said Emily.
Ladybug throws heryo-yoto tie the string around Gigantitan's left hand.
"Gigantitan, watch out for the very naughty Ladybug!" Shouted Hawk Moth.
Gigantitan lifts his hand up and flings Ladybug up to the Trocadéro roof, with Hope, Emily and Cat Noir joining her shortly afterwards.
"How about that? You're not much of a natural with kids either. Nice flying" Said Cat Noir. "Ha-ha! For your information, I never babysat anything heavier than ten tons" Said Ladybug. "But that does imply that you have babysat things that weigh close to a ton" Said Emily.
Gigantitan is about to grab Ladybug, but Cat Noir pulls her away.
"Kitty?" Asked Gigantitan. "Yes!" Declared Ladybug, noticing the bracelet.
She leaps over to grab it, but Gigantitan once again throws her off. She lands on the ground, where Cat Noir, Hope and Emily again joins her.
"I felt that this didn't need to be said, but the Giant baby has extraordinary strength" Said Hope. "Well, when was the last time you dealt with a giant baby?" Asked Ladybug. "Never. I can barley believe I'm dealing with one right now. This has to have been some sort of accident" Said Hope. "That's what we said" Said Emily. "We need a change of plans. Hum… to calm the baby down, just put him in a playpen" Said Ladybug. "And exactly where are we gonna find a playpen his size?" Asked Cat Noir. "The Eiffel Tower! We'll pen him up in there with my yo-yo string. Sing him some lullabies. You know some, don't you? We can read him a bedtime story! Make cooing noises. Then when he's getting sleepy...BAM! You'll use yourCataclysmto destroy his bracelet!" Declared Ladybug. "Interesting idea, M'Lady. But how are we gonna get him there? Don't you have a simpler plan? How about yourLucky Charm?" Asked Cat Noir. "Hum… you know, i think I've got just the form for that" Said Hope.
Hope removes the Crazy Diamond Stand Tape before he inserts the Echoes ACT Stand Tape into the Stand Player, making it announce "Echoes, Stand Up!", before Hope pressed a button on the front of the Stand Player, making it announce "No one flies around the Sun! Diamond is Unbreakable! Echoes, Act 1!", as he transformed into Kamen Rider Stand Echoes ACT1 Form.
"What's this one going to do?" Asked Cat Noir. "Hopefully, get him underneath the tower" Said Hope.
Hope jumped down towards Gigantitan, landing on his back before drawing塔の下on him with his tail. Gigantitan then looked at the Eiffel Tower and began to crawl over to it, with Hope, Emily, Cat Noir and Ladybug following him.
"And I was gonna sing him a lullaby, too…" Said Cat Noir. "Uh, we want to calm the baby down, not burst his eardrums" Said Ladybug. "What? I have a great voice, you know? I'll meow you a serenade one of these days" Said Cat Noir, making Ladybug chuckle at him. "Lollipop! Lollipop!" Declared Gigantitan, as he stops going to the Eiffel Tower when he notices the lollipop truck. "Huh" Said Emily. "That kid is really addicted to his lollipops" Said Cat Noir. "Yeah. We need him to get moving again, or else I'm gonna have to reapply the sign to him" Said Hope.
Cat Noir runs off to find something, as Hope, Emily and Ladybug try to get Gigantitan's attention.
"Lollipop!" Declared Gigantitan
He accidentally crushes the lollipop truck with his hand. He's about to cry when he suddenly hears a car honking. He looks down to see Cat Noir honking the horn of the Agreste car.
"Kitty!" Declared Gigantitan.
Cat Noir gets out so that Gigantitan can play with the car. In his lair, Hawk Moth growls in annoyance from Gigantitan's constant distractions.
"Vroom! Vroom!" Declared Gigantitan. "I loved playing with cars when I was a kid, too" Said Cat Noir. "Good job, cat" Said Hope.
Gigantian pushes the car in the direction of the Eiffel Tower
"Vroom! Vroom!" Declared Gigantitan. "Look! He's going to his playpen! Good job, kitty!" Declared Ladybug.
Cat Noir chuckles giddily. When he sees that Ladybug, Hope and Emily have left, he follows them. At the Eiffel Tower, Hawk Moth begs Gigantitan to attack the heroes.
"No! Stop playing! Attack the kitty cat and Ladybug!" Declared Hawk Moth. "Vroom!" Exclaimed Gigantitan. "Oh no" Said Hawk Moth.
Ladybug, Cat Noir, Hope and Emily run towards the Eiffel Tower.
"Here we go!" Declared Ladybug.
She encircles the Eiffel Tower several times with her yo-yo string to pen up Gigantitan. Cat Noir wolf-whistles in amazement when she actually manages to trap the villain. He applauds her when she comes back next to him. But Gigantitan pulls on the string and causes the Eiffel Tower to be cut by it.
"Hurry, Cat Noir! Use your Cataclysm on his bracelet!" Declared Ladybug. "At your command, M'Lady! Cataclysm!" Declared Cat Noir.
Cat Noir leaps up to use his Cataclysm on the bracelet, but Gigantitan shakes his arm and sends Cat Noir hurtling off into the distance before he can do anything. Then, with Gigantitan's enormous strength, Ladybug's yo-yo string ends up breaking the Eiffel Tower's supports, and the whole tower starts to fall behind the temperamental toddler. Meanwhile, at the Pont des Arts bridge. Alix is still waiting for her cue for Marinette's plan.
"Uggghhhhh… Did she take the rickshaw ride with Adrien or not?" Asked Alix.
She notices as André finishes making the ice cream, and she groans again. Alix and André suddenly hear Cat Noir screaming. They look up to see him crash-land onto the ice cream cart. Cat Noir notices that André is still holding the ice cream, a scoop of green on top of pink like in Marinette's fantasy, in surprise
"Wow. I hear your ice cream's the best in Paris, André" Said Cat Noir, as he tries to eat the ice cream, but his Cataclysm inadvertently destroys it instead. "Uh, thank you, Cat Noir" Said André.
Cat Noir uses his staff to transport himself back to the Eiffel Tower. Meanwhile, at the Seine. Ladybug, Hope and Emily are being pulled by Gigantitan. Ladybug grabs hold of a lamppost.
"Turn around! Look at the mean Ladybug! Grab her!" Declared Hawk Moth. "Lollipop!" Declared Gigantitan, as he pulls up the lamppost with Ladybug, Hope and Emily. "Hey, silly baby! This isn't a delicious lollipop!" Declared Ladybug.
Ladybug screams as her, Hope and Emily are about to be licked by Gigantitan, before Hope drew舐めないon his mouth, making Gigantitan stop what he was doing.
"Woohoo! Super-size!" Called Alya.
Gigantitan turns around to see Alya riding the rickshaw. Mylène, Juleka, and Rose are sitting on the passenger seat holding onto the fake No-Parking sign.
"Hold on tight, you three!" Declared Rose. "Thanks, girls!" Declared Ladybug.
Gigantitan drops Ladybug so he can follow the girls.
"Lollipop!" Declared Gigantitan.
Ladybug dodges the falling lamppost, witch Hope grabs and lays down on the ground.
"No! Don't let the Ladybug get away!" Declared Hawk Moth.
Cat Noir arrives next to Ladybug
"Quick! We don't have much time left!" Declared Cat Noir, as his ring alarm sounds, alerting them that he has little time remaining. "Okay! Enough with complicated plans. Sometimes it's best to just get straight to the point. Lucky Charm!" Declared Ladybug.
A roll of gift wrap appears
"Gift wrap?" Asked Ladybug. "Great! Now figure something out so we can wrap this up" Said Cat Noir.
With her Lucky Vision, Ladybug sees another lamppost, Cat Noir's bell, and the gift wrap.
"Got it!" Declared Ladybug. "I think I know what you're going to do. Allow me to be the trick to your treat" Said Hope. "Alright" Said Ladybug.
Gigantitan chases the rickshaw around the Trocadéro.
"Girls...I can't do it anymore!" Declared Alya.
The girls all jump out of the rickshaw, letting the fake sign fall to the ground. Gigantitan picks up and sucks on the fake sign. Disgusted, he throws it away and starts to cry again. He suddenly hears Cat Noir's bell jingling.
"Who wants a nice tasty lollipop?" Asked Emily.
The gift wrap is wrapped around the lamppost to make it look like a lollipop.
"Lollipop!" Declared Gigantitan.
Gigantitan walks over, pulls up the lollipop and peels off the wrapping to reveal Ladybug and Hope.
"You've heard of the Trojan Horse. Now meet the Parisian lollipop!" Declared Ladybug.
Hope drawsじっとしてろonto Gigantitan, making him stand still. Ladybug leaps over and punches the release button on the bracelet, causing it to fall to the ground. Then she jumps down and breaks it to reveal the akuma
"No more evil-doing for you, little akuma. Time to de-evilize! Gotcha! Bye bye, little Ladybug!" Declared Ladybug, as she captures the akuma and purifies it.
The Miraculous Ladybugs fixes all the damage, including André's ice cream cart and the Eiffel Tower. Gigantitan turns back into August in mid-air, and Cat Noir catches him when he falls.
"Kitty!" Declared August, as he rings Cat Noir's bell. "Okay, you are a natural with babies after all" Said Ladybug, making Cat Noir chuckles at her. "August!" Cried out August's mom, as she runs to get her son. "Mama!" Declared August, as Ladybug's earrings ring.
"Oh, uh. We've all gotta get going. Thanks for using the Parisian Superhero Babysitting services. We'll be seeing you later, little guy" Said Hope.
Ladybug, Cat Noir, Hope and Emily leave to detransform. Meanwhile, in Hawk Moth's lair
"Gigantitan may not have been big enough for the job, but I promise my next villain will be more than you can handle!… I hope i never Akumatize that kid again…" Said Hawk Moth.
Back at The Trocadéro. Marinette, Hope and Emily meet up with Rose, Juleka, Mylène and Alya again.
"Hey, guys!" Exclaimed Marinette.
Her friends all chuckle with happiness.
"Marinette! Hope! Emily!" Declared Rose. "That was weird. No way that was intentional" Said Juleka. "That's what I said!" Declared Hope. We were so worried about you three!" Declared Mylène. "Where were you, Marinette?" Asked Alya. "Hope got me out of here. I looked all over for you guys. I'm so glad everything worked out okay" Said Marinette. "All except for your date with Adrien" Said Alya. "Oh yeah. Where did he go?" Asked Mylène. "Oh! There he is!" Declared Rose, seeing Adrien approach and pointing at him. "Maybe we can finish the job after all" Said Alya. "Awesome" Said Juleka. "Project Date Night is a go" Said Emily. "Operation Secret Garden" Said Alya. "… It does explain the codenames" Said Emily. "No. No more complicated plans. Sometimes it's best to just get straight to the point" Said Marinette, as she goes after Adrien.
Adrien is about to reach the car, when he notices Marinette.
"Marinette! What are you doing here?" Asked Adrien.
Alya, Juleka, Mylène, Rose, Hope and Emily hide behind a pillar.
"Is she gonna do it?" Asked Mylène. "It's just like a romantic movie!" Declared Rose. "I wish I had a…" Said Hope. "Lollipop?" Asked Emily. "I came here to do some sketching! I can't believe we've run into each other here! Hey, would you like to…?" Asked Marinette.
She and Adrien hear his bodyguard honking the car horn impatiently
"… Hang pout? I mean, hang about? No, hag out?" Asked Marinette.
The bodyguard groans again
"Oh, forget it. Better not keep your guard waiting" Said Marinette. "Uh, okay" Said Adrien.
Marinette sighs when she realizes she still couldn't ask Adrien out. Her friends are all annoyed at her as well.
"But we can take you home if you want it" Said Adrien.
Marinette's friends are all filled with glee again.
"Whew..." Said Rose. "All right!" Declared Juleka. "She's amazing!" Declared Hope. "…No, it's okay! I'll take a coleslaw home. Thanks!" Exclaimed Marinette.
Marinette's friends become annoyed at her once more.
"… she's pathetic" Said Emily. "Okay... enjoy your meal, then. See you at school tomorrow!" Declared Adrien, as he gets in the car.
He closes the car door, and the car drives off. Marinette waves at Adrien
"Why did I say no? I'm so lame! I could have ridden home with him in his car!" Declared Marinette, as her friends approach her. "Well, at least you managed to get a sentence out without losing your cool" Said Alya. "One sentence out of three! Not bad!" Declared Rose. "Next time, you may even make it two out of three" Said Hope. "You'll get there in the end" Said Mylène. "Sure will" Said Juleka. "And we'll all be there to help" Said Emily. "Thanks, girls" Said Marinette.
Behind her, Alix throws the rose petals at her.
"Don't tell me Buttercup left the flowerbed with the Nanny" Said Alix. "Yep, but it's all good. Come on, BFF, let's take a ride on the coleslaw" Said Alya, signaling Théo for a rickshaw ride. "Please tell me I didn't say that!" Exclaimed Marinette. "Yeah" Said Mylène. "Don't worry, Marinette. Maybe wherever we arrive, we'll find a main course for your coleslaw" Said Hope.
The girls laugh in amusement when they all get in the rickshaw, except for Alix, who throws more rose petals at them.
