Author goes up to a clear wall with a bag. He then puts on a gas mask and brings out a few cans as he starts spray painting.

Scene: Collège Françoise Dupont at night.

It was just an ordinary night at Collège Françoise Dupont, but the peaceful night was immediately broken by Marinette's screams.

"Heeelp!" screamed Marinette as she was being chased by Stormy Weather and Lady Wifi.

Currently, she was running away from Stormy Weather, but blocking her path was Lady Wifi. She then immediately ran in the opposite direction, but she was then struck by a pause icon from Lady Wifi. Stormy Weather then opened her parasol, unleashing the freezing wind that froze her in place.

The two of them smiled at one another, but then dropping out completely out of nowhere was Super Nathan. He then quickly pulled out his pen, and before Stormy Weather could attack, he rubbed out the parasol on his tablet. Almost instantly, Stormy Weather's parasol disappeared and created a cage surrounding the two villains.

With them safely contained, he began to erase the ice blocks surrounding Marinette, freeing her from her icy prison.

"Oh, Super Nathan, you're my hero!" said Marinette, embracing him.

"It was nothing," Super Nathan assured her as he had her.

"I love you!"

"I love you too, Marinette."

"Nathaniel! What are you drawing?" said a voice.
______________________________________________

Nathaniel snapped out of his daydream and looked up to see an angry Ms Mendeleiev. Ms Mendeleiev was their science teacher and very strict at that.

"Wha, wha—" said Nathaniel trying to regain his bearings.

"And these artistic endeavours are clearly why you are failing science," said Ms Mendeleiev gesturing to his sketchbook.

"I'm sorry…"

"You go march yourself down to the principal's office and show him that chicken scratch! Then you'll be really sorry!"

Nathaniel left his table but then accidentally tripped over Mylène's bag, dropping his sketchbook. Chloé then grabbed it and looked through it.

"Ooh! Look, Sabrina!" said Chloé showing it Sabrina. "It's him as a superhero! And look who he's saving! It's Marinette! He's so totally crushing on you, Marinette!

"Gimme that!" Nathaniel yelled, snatching his sketchbook from her

"Enough! Nathaniel, go!" Ms Mendeleiev ordered.

Scene: Hawk Moth's lair.

It was at this point that Hawk Moth could sense the negative emotions coming from Nathaniel.

Hawk Moth opened the window at his lair. "Ahhh… Artists can be so emotional. I love it." He then grasped a butterfly and turned it into an evil akuma. "Fly to him, my little akuma. Draw him into our evil web!"

The akuma then flew out of his lair and headed towards Nathaniel.
______________________________________________

Scene: Collège hallway.

Nathaniel was currently making his way through the hallway when he accidentally dropped his pencil. The moment he reached out to grab it, the akuma flew in and possessed it.

"Are you tired of having your creative spirit crushed?" Hawk Moth asked. "Evillustrator, I'm your friend and patron of the arts. I'm here to offer you support. But I don't give this kind of power for free. I have a couple of items that need retrieving."

"Just tell me what you want," said Nathanial.

He then began to transform into Evillustrator. His skin was light purple, and his hair was brushed back while colored orange with purple tips. On his head he wore a dark purple beret, and on his face, he had a dark purple butterfly-shaped mask. He was wearing a white suit with dark purple stripes. On his chest was a black circle with smaller red, yellow, and blue circles inside. And strapped to his arm was what looked like a tablet.

Scene: Ms. Mendeleiev's classroom.

Meanwhile, at Ms Mendeleiev's classroom, she was just about to hand the class their assignments.

"The next particle physics presentation group is Nino, Adrien, Toby and Alya!" she said.

"Oh! So lucky!" Marinette whispered to Alya.

"And then, Sabrina, Chloé, Camilla and Marinette," Ms Mendeleiev continued.

"So unlucky," Alya whispered back as Marinette hit her head on the table.

"What?!" Camilla deadpanned in horror.

"Uh, Miss, can't you add her to another group?" Chloé asked. "Sabrina and I work much better on our own."

"This is a group presentation, not pairs! Deal with it," said Ms Mendeleiev strictly.

"I hate dealing with it!" Chloé muttered.

The bell then rang.

"You wouldn't be willing to trade groups, would ya?" Marinette asked Alya pleadingly.

"And deal with that twosome terror? Sorry," said Alya apologetically. "But I promise to talk all about you in between particles and physics!"

"You're the best!" Marinette beamed and hugged her so much that the two fell to the floor.

Meanwhile, Camilla already started pleading with Toby, "Come on bro, can we switch?"

"No."

"PLEASE!"
______________________________________________

Scene: Locker room.

Both Chloé and Sabrina were talking about the project.

"Forget it, Sabrina," said Chloé. "I don't have time for some dumb project. Besides, now you have Marinette and Camilla to help you."

"Okay, that's fine, Chloé," said Sabrina. "We'll do the work. Don't worry."

Both Marinette and Camilla then entered the locker room.

"Um, is everything okay?" Marinette asked.

"It is fine, Marinette," said Chloé.

"Well then, why can't you help us with the project?" Marinette asked.

"None of your business, Miss Nosy!" said Chloé.

"Considering the fact we're part of this group, it is," Camilla pointed out, "So unless you have a problem with that, suck it up."

"It's okay, guys," Sabrina assured them. "The three of us will do all the research and the writing for our project, and then, Chloé can present it! That way, it's equal."

"That's not equal at all!" said Marinette, "Is that how you two work?!"

"Yeah! We've been doing this ever since grade school when I started doing Chloé's homework!" Sabrina explained. "And we've been BFFs ever since!"

"And you're okay with that?" Camilla asked skeptically.

"Yeah, You got a problem with that?" said Chloé. "Come on, Sabrina.

Marinette then placed a hand on Sabrina's shoulder. "Sabrina, Chloé's totally taking advantage of you. You don't have to do what she says. That's not how a real best friend acts!"

Chloé then pulled Sabrina towards her. "Ugh, not only am I Sabrina's best friend, I'm her only friend, so she better do what I say, 'cause without me, she has nothing."

"Well, I'd rather have no friends than be friends with you."

"Whatever. I've got more important things to worry about. My hair is a hot mess, and Jean Claude promised to work his magic. Later!" she said, leaving.
______________________________________________

Scene: College hallway.

Marinette was making her way through the hallway when Sabrina rushed over.

"Marinette!" she yelled, hugging her. "I can't believe you stood up to Chloé like that! It was so amazing."

"Uhh, well… Yeah, what are friends for?" said Marinette, a little stunned.

"You are my friend, and I'm really super excited to hang out with you and have a new best friend who actually helps with the project! We're going to have the absolute best time together! Then, we'll do the presentation and tell Ms Mendeleiev the truth about Chloé! Sounds good?"

"Sounds… great?"

"YAY! Then I'll see you in the library, bestie!" said Sabrina excitedly and ran off.
______________________________________________

Scene: Library.

Sabrina just told Chloé that she was refusing to do her assignment.

"Ugh! What do you mean, you're not doing my assignment?!" said Chloé.

"Marinette's right! I… I'm not your slave!" said Sabrina.

Camilla shot Marinette a questioning look.

"I never actually said that…" said Marinette defensively.

"But Marinette didn't buy a super cute beret at Gabriel's, and I did!" said Chloé, pulling out a beret from her bag. "And perhaps I could lend it to you.

"Excuse me, but are you trying to bribe her into staying your friend? With a hat?" said Marinette in disbelief.

"Uhhh… really, really adorable hat! That would look fantastic on me!" said Sabrina.

Chloé then looked accusingly at Marinette. "No, excuse from ME, but you are trying to steal my friend from me with homework!"

Unbeknownst to them, Evillustrator was looking down at them from the stairs above. He then began sketching a beret on his pad, and then multiple berets fell on top of Chloé.

"Ahh! My hair!" Chloé screamed.

Evillustrator then drew a hairdryer and appeared right in front of Chloé and then began chasing after her.

"Ahhh! Please! Please! Ahhhh!" Chloé screamed.

Adrian and Toby close by and clearly saw that Chloé was in distress. They both looked at each other and ran to find a place to hide.

"Plagg! Claws out!" Adrian yelled as he transformed into Cat Noir.

"Breeze! Take Flight!" Toby yelled as he transformed into Sky Falcon.

"No! Not the hair!" Chloé screamed.

Both Marinette and Camilla ran behind a bookcase, Luupa flew out of Camilla's jacket while Marionette opened her purse to let Tikki out, "Time to transform. Tikki! spots on! Ha!"

"Luupa! It's Full Moon!"

Both Marinette and Camilla transformed into Ladybug and Gray Wolf respectively.

"No! Stop!" Chloé screamed as he was backed into a corner.

The hairdryer was advancing towards her, but then Ladybug arrived. She quickly swung her yo-yo, wrapped it around the hairdryer, and landed on top of it.

"Run and hide!" Ladybug yelled at Chloé as she guided the hairdryer away.

Cat Noir then landed on top of one of the bookcases. "I got wind that you were being blown away by a hairy situation."

"Fewer puns, more action!" Ladybug yelled.

Gray Wolf, who was perched on one of the bookcases, fired an arrow at the hair dryer. Ladybug immediately wrapped her yo-yo around a pole and began spinning around, colliding with some bookcases. However, this knocked the hairdryer to the ground, allowing both Cat Noir and Sky Falcon to rush and destroy it with their weapons.

They looked above and noticed the Evillustrator looking down from above.

"Well, that guy looks pretty sketchy." Cat Noir said.

"Damn, Is that guy Leonardo Da Vinci or Vincent Van Gogh?" said Sky Falcon.

They jump onto the second floor and run towards him when he pulls out a pencil and draws something on his tablet and suddenly a wall appears in front of them which they ran into, causing them to fall backwards the moment they collided with it. When they regained their senses, they discovered that he had disappeared.

"Where'd he go?" Ladybug asked.

"I don't know, but he sure has a way of illustrating his point," said Cat Noir.

"Like what, kidnap Chloé and hang her on the wall in pieces like an artwork?" asked Sky Falcon, causing Ladybug to groan in annoyance.
______________________________________________

Scene: Le Grand Paris Hotel.

The M-Team excluding Gray Wolf, who decided to stay behind, escorted Chloé to her bedroom.

"Seems this Evillustrator's targeting you specifically, Chloé," said Cat Noir as Chloé drew something on a piece of paper. "Any idea why?"

"No. Everyone adores me," said Chloé

Just who is she trying to kid?

"Yeah, because you're sooo adorable," said Ladybug sarcastically.

"Yeesss! Ladybug just said I'm adorable!" Chloé cheered and then quickly rushed to her side and began taking pictures of the two of them with her phone. "I totally need a picture of the two of us together!"

"Ugh!" Ladybug groaned, putting as much distance between her and Chloé. "That was unpleasant."

"Well, I look great, of course, but your smile is all wonky," Chloé frowned at the picture and then quickly rushed to her side again. "Let's take another!"

"Sorry, I'm just a little camera shy," said Ladybug, pushing away from her.

"Looks like somebody's got a fan!" Cat Noir noted.

"Yeah, great," Ladybug muttered

"So what's the deal? Why are you acting so weird?" Cat Noir asked as he then leaned in to whisper, "Come on, you gotta admit that having this girl who hates you worship you is pretty awesome."

"She hates Marinette but loves Ladybug. Personally, I find it ironic," said Sky Falcon who joined the conversation.

Ladybug then noticed Nathaniel's drawing and saw that Chloé had drawn two glasses and a mustache over her face.

"Ugh, seriously?" said Ladybug furiously. "I'm over this! Let's go!"

"Are you kidding me?" said Cat Noir as he and Sky followed Ladybug to the balcony. "And what if the Evillustrator attacks her again?"

"Fine! You two stay! Later!" said Ladybug storming outside.

"What do you mean later?" Cat Noir stared.

"I mean, you two are the ones who want to protect her, but you don't need me. So, later!" said Ladybug and swung away.

Chloé then rushed over to the balcony and waved at her. "Ahhh! Ladybug! Text me! Okay!"
______________________________________________

Scene: Library back at Collège Françoise Dupont.

"You know Camilla, differences aside, getting Chloe home is what you should have done." Luupa said after the rest of the team had left.

Camilla sighed as she sat down heavily on one of the chairs, "Believe me I know, but at the same time I can't help it." Miraculous heroine or not, Camilla also had to stay behind in order to finish the group project as she was currently in the library with books all over the table as she was taking notes. So focused was she that she didn't notice Sabrina coming into the library and making a beeline towards her.

"Whatcha doing?" Sabrina asked, seemingly appearing beside Camilla causing her to fall out of her chair in surprise. Luupa, who had spotted Sabrina coming in, had dived straight into her holder's school bag just before she could be seen.

"Geez Sabrina, what's with the sneaking? You almost gave me a heart attack."

"Sorry. I didn't mean to scare you," She apologized, "So what are you doing?"

"Gathering sufficient information for our project," Camilla replied, getting up from the floor, "why do you ask?"

"That's great. I'm going to Marinette's house. You coming?"

"Sure."
______________________________________________

Scene: Dupain-Cheng House.

Ladybug soon returned to her home; she then dropped from the trapdoor on the balcony into her room and detransformed. Then in frustration, she tossed her person to the sofa, and Tiki was still inside.

"Ow!" said Tikki's muffled voice and then popped out of her purse. "Hey!"

"Sorry, Tikki… Chloé! She just… fires up this little red bug!"

"Well, simmer down! A hot head isn't going to get you anywhere!"

"It's hard to keep my cool. Especially in school," Marinette sighed and then remembered Sabrina. "Oh my gosh! Sabrina! The project!"

She quickly pulled out her phone and checked her messages, and saw that she had missed several calls from Sabrina

"Uh-oh… Looks like you got yourself a new BFF!" said Tikki.

Marinette groaned, laying down on her sofa.

Tikki then saw someone at the window and quickly hid in Marinette's purse. Marinette then turned to the window and saw the window beginning to disappear, and then stepping into her room, was Evillustrator.

"It's you!" Marinette gasped. "From the library! What are you doing here?"

"I just wanted to see you," said Evillustrator.

"Okay…" said Marinette, a little taken aback. "But why did you attack Chloé?"

"'Cause Chloé is cruel and selfish!"

"Can't argue with that…" Marinette admitted and looked at him, concerned. "Are you going to hurt me?"

"You? You're Marinette! You're beautiful and sweet, and… you're perfect, and I could never hurt you!" said Evillustrator sincerely.

Marinette felt both flattered and disturbed at the same time. "Wow… that's, uh… very, umm… flattering! Uh, thank you?"

"So, I just came by to ask you, it, uh, well, it's my birthday today, and, uh, would you wanna come to my party?" said Evillustrator.

"Oh, umm… Actually, it's not really the best night," said Marinette, choosing her words carefully. "See, I got a presentation to work on, and… I have to call my friend, so we can meet and…"

"Oh, please, Marinette!" Evillustrator pleaded. "It'll just be you and me. "

He then drew an invitation on his tablet and gave it to her on one knee.

"Oh my gosh!" said Marinette, taking it and seeing that the invitation had a picture of herself and Evillustrator on it. "That's… me!"

"You like it?"

"I… love it! So much that I will absolutely be at your party. On one condition."

"Anything for you, Marinette."

"You can't hurt Chloé anymore. I simply cannot bear violence."

"For you and only you," Evillustrator promised and then drew himself a rocket pack. "Meet you on the left bank, next to Notre Dame, at sunset!"

He then took off and flew out of the window that he had erased.

"Ahh…" Marinette sighed, sitting on her sofa.

"What are you thinking, Marinette?" Tikki asked.

"I'm thinking poor Nathaniel's got a crush on me," said Marinette, pulling out the invitation and Nathaniel's sketch. "And his alter ego, the Evillustrator's gonna get crushed by Ladybug!"

"Yes, but… how exactly is Ladybug going to crush this crush when… you're going on a date with him as Marinette?" Tikki pointed out.

"Oh, maybe some cool cat needs to crash the party."
______________________________________________

Scene: The hotel.

Both Cat Noir and Sky Falcon were seen staring at Chloé as they were gradually getting fed up with her attitude.

"Ohhh… Sabrina is so selfish!" Chloé complained. "Making me do this project by myself?! Ugh, my brain hurts…"

"Whoever this Sabrina is, I see you let her do all the work and you find no problems with letting her do it all by herself," said Sky Falcon plainly.

"Huh? Hey!" She then rushed over towards them, wrapping her arms around Cat Noir's, "Which one of you guys is any good at particle physics?"

"Oh, this cat's got particle physics in the bag," said Cat Noir.

"Ah! Great!" said Chloé, pulling his arm and forcing him into the chair. "Sit, kitty!" She then gave him her project then sat opposite him, grabbing a magazine. "Now, make it sound purr-fect for my presentation. See what I did? I made a cat joke! Ah! I can be funny."

"Yeah, hilarious," said Cat Noir sarcastically.

Cat Noir then heard his staff ring and rushed outside to answer it. "You can't just fly out of here and then decide to make catcalls, Ladybug."

"I'm sorry, that wasn't cool," said Ladybug. "But you can leave Chloé. I need you to do me a really strong favor," while Marinette was talking, Sky Falcon had to grab Chloé's shoulder to put her in arms reach away from him as she tried to advance towards him, "The Evillustrator is in love with me and promised not to harm Chloé as long as I comes to his birthday party."

Chat Noir couldn't believe his ears, "For real?"

"And before you do anything, I do not need you to compromise this task just to satisfy your jealousy, not that I reciprocate the feelings to him," Marinette said quickly, "Can you handle this alone?"

All the feelings of jealousy disappeared as he knew she wouldn't cheat on him, "Ha! Please! It'll be a cinch!" Cat Noir assured her and then approached Chloé. "You're out of danger, but Sky Falcon is going to stay with you just in case. I'll see ya! Later!"

"Wait, where are you going?" asked Sky.

"I'm going on a very important secret mission."

He then quickly jumped off the balcony. Sometimes, Sky Falcon didn't know what to make of this situation because all his teammates left him alone to babysit the potentially least favorite person in Paris.

"What?! What about my presentation?!" Chloé yelled. She then turned to Sky, "So–"

"No, that project will have to be on hold," said Sky Falcon, raising his hand as he took a deep breath, "I think it's time you sit down, because you should listen to what I'm about to tell you."
______________________________________________

Scene: Dupain-Cheng house.

Marinette had just left her house when she came face-to-face with Sabrina and Camilla at the front door.

"Oh! Sabrina!" Marinette jumped. "You scared me."

"Sorry… we were just waiting for you," said Sabrina. "Did you get my messages?"

"Yes! Yes, I did! And I was totally gonna call you."

"You were? I knew you would!" Sabrina beamed. "Eventually. And so? I did your geography homework!" She then handed Marinette her homework, much to her surprise.

"Whoa! You didn't have to do that," said Marinette.

"Yeah, that's selfless of you," remarked Camilla.

"Well, since you're my new best friend, it's the least I can do."

"Thanks, but I just can't," she said, pushing it back towards her.

"Really?" said Sabrina, looking upset.

"Oh, okay, but just this once," said Marinette, taking it.

"Great! So, you wanna work on the physics project tonight?" Sabrina asked.

"Uhhh, I'm so sorry, Sabrina, I've got something really important that I have to do," said Marinette honestly.

"Something really important? Really? That's fascinating. Oh, you know who else uses that excuse all the time, don't you?"

"Um, no?" Marinette frowned.

"Chloé! I'm beginning to see how similar you two are!" said Sabrina looking upset. "I bet you'd expect me to do all the work like she did, right?"

"Now hold your horses, Sabrina," said Camilla, "There's nothing else to do in the project and I've had everything covered. That's it, that one's aside. And also, you of all people should know Marinette's nothing like Chloé."

"You have?"

"Yeah. Look, in my point of view, it doesn't matter who takes part or who doesn't or how much anyone contributes to it. All that matters is that the project is complete and presentable. If Chloé's not into it, then that's her problem. She's in a hotel, having a life of luxury and has a Butler to do things for her while Marinette is in a bakery, getting her hands dirty. Let me ask you a question. In your years you were friends with her, between you two, what do you call that friendship?"

That question got Sabrina completely lost in thoughts. It was true. Ever since the time she and Chloé became friends, she has always tended to the latter's needs and she was given things like that beret. She didn't consider what kind of friendship they had.

"I… have to go." Sabrina said slowly, with guilt written on her face.

"Sabrina-" said Marinette.

"I'm sorry, Marinette. You're not like Chloé. I-I-I just need some time to think."

Sabrina then left. Not long had she done that, Cat Noir jumped right out in front of the two girls.

"Whoo-hoo! I thought I was going to have to save you from that girl's claws," said Cat Noir gesturing to Sabrina. "Get it? Claws? Okay, but I saw you already handled it fine."

"Yeah, you came in time," said Marinette.

"Well, that birthday boy date of yours is bad news," said Cat Noir turning his back on her and doing some masculine poses. As he Marinette mockingly mimes him talking with her hands while Camilla was snickering at her antics. "But don't worry. You'll be safe with me."

He then turned around, and Marinette immediately stopped. "That puts my mind at ease."

Cat Noir then leaned in towards her. "But I am going to need a little help. Care to assist me?"

"It's only the three of us and one of him. It should be easy," Camilla said.

"Anyways, All you need to do is charm him as long as you can. Gray Wolf and I will deal with the rest," he said, saluting and then left jumping to the nearest building.

Marinette couldn't help but giggle.
______________________________________________

Scene: The Seine, near Notre Dame, at night.

Evillustrator was currently making everything perfectly his birthday date, creating a boat with lights as well as a miniature Eiffel Tower in the centre.

"That is a lovely little scene you're setting," said Hawk Moth impatiently. "But I don't want you to get distracted, boy."

"But I just want Marinette to love me," said Evillustrator.

"And I want the Miraculous. So get it! Or else," Hawk Moth warned.

Evillustrator then suddenly found his hand paralyzed, no doubt by Hawk Moth.

"Okay, I will, I will!" he said.

"Happy birthday," said Marinette's voice.

Evillustrator turned and saw Marinette had just stepped onto the boat. "Marinette!"

Evillustrator then escorted Marinette across the boat to the scene he had set.

"Thank you for accepting my invitation," he said.

"Wow, it's so beautiful," said Marinette.

"You like it? Well, hold on, 'cause I'm just getting started," he said and jumped onto the top of the boat. He was just about to draw something, but then dark clouds blocked out the moon, and he couldn't see his tablet. "Grr! Come on, you've gotta be kidding!"

"Huh?" said Marinette looking concerned.

"Uhh, sorry," said Evillustrator looking back at her. "I didn't mean to startle you. It's just… I can't draw properly in the dark."

Marinette smiled, taking a mental note of that.

Evillustrator bent down towards one of the lights began to draw on his tablet. Then suddenly appearing on the Eiffel tower he had created was a glowing moon. "Voila!"

They began riding down the river, and Evillustrator played some music on his pad by creating musical notes. Marinette then noticed Cat Noir and Gray Wolf leaping over some nearby buildings.

"You're so talented!" said Marinette looking at Evillustrator. "I just don't understand why you wanna use your power to hurt people."

"Not all people. Just Chloé. And I'm never doing that again," he assured her. "After all, you were true to your promise, so I'll be true to mine."

Cat Noir then arrived on the top of the bridge they were just about to pass. He then lept directly on the boat behind them without Evillustrator knowing while Gray Wolf took a vintage point and nocked her bow.

"I…actually draw a little too. I'm not as good as you are, of course," said Marinette.

"I'm sure you're a wonderful artist," Evillustrator assured her.

"Well, can I draw you something special for your birthday?" she asked secretly, gesturing to Cat Noir to get ready.

Then suddenly, he heard footsteps behind him, and he saw Cat Noir out of the corner of his eye.

"Marinette, give me my pencil back," he said. "I need to draw something, now!"

Suddenly, he was struck by an arrow. Marinette quickly pulled away from him just as Cat Noir extended his staff in front of Evillustrator, blocking his path.

"Sorry to disappoint, Leonardo. But the girl isn't exactly your type," said Gray Wolf after she jumped down to face him as Marinette ran behind her.

"Marinette, you knew this?" questioned Evillustrator as he stared at her, shocked, and looked at her furiously. "I'm so stupid… I actually thought you liked me! But you're really just like Chloé. Teasing me, mocking me, leading me on!"

"Come on! Seriously? Why is everybody comparing me to Chloé tonight?" Marinette moaned.

Evillustrator yanked the arrow off him as he then kicked Cat Noir's staff, and it struck Marinette's hand, making her drop the pencil. He then jumped into the air and grabbed it, and landed on top of the moon he had created. Cat Noir then quickly jumped towards him, bringing his staff down at him.

Unfortunately, Evillustrator quickly created a transparent cube that fell on top of him and trapped not only him but also Marinette and Gray Wolf.

Evillustrator then landed on top of the Cuban glared down. "And I'm taking back my promise! Chloé's gonna get a little lesson she'll never forget!"

He then erased a chunk of the boat, and it began to sink. He then jumped off the boat, and no doubt went after Chloé.

"We've been penned in! Literally!" said Cat Noir tried to break the queue with his staff.

"Okay, Playtime's over. Tikki! Spots On!" Tikki flew into her earrings as she transformed into Ladybug. She then began thinking of a way out of this mess and got an idea.

"Cat Noir, your stick! Like this!" said Marinette pointing the staff upwards towards the ceiling of the cube. "And extend it!"

"Great thinking!" said Cat Noir, pulling her in a hug.

Ladybug rolled her eyes as they pulled away. The M-Team then grabbed unto Cat Noir's staff as it extended,lifting the cube into the air and getting them all off the boat.

"Well, that ought to do it," said Gray Wolf, "I can't believe I'm saying this, but the damsel in distress now needs saving, and I know already that the poor sod is having a really hard time."

"Best we don't keep him waiting. M-Team! Let's do this!"
______________________________________________

Scene: The hotel.

Chloé is seen already slumped on her bed in boredom after hearing Sky Falcon narrate to her the entire Cinderella trilogy for about an hour.

"So the point I'm trying to make is that you can't spend the rest of your life being dependent on someone else to do the work for you 'cos there'll be a time where you'll be on your own with no one else to help you."

"Utterly ridiculous," whined Chloé, "I can't do this on my own. It's so hard."

"I didn't say you should start immediately, just take baby steps. You'll get there. Heck, you have your friend, Brianna-"

"Sabrina," Chloé corrected.

"Either way, if she can help you with your tasks, she can be able to teach you, capiche?"

"Ugh…fine, capiche, whatever," Chloé said begrudgingly.

Something then caught Sky Falcon's attention as he turned towards the door that was rumbling, "Chloé, hide. Now."

Immediately after he said that, the door was erased by the Evillustrator who walked inside as he was facing the bird of prey as Chloé instantly ran away in fear and quickly hid beneath her bed.

"Where is Chloé?" the artist demanded.

"Hiding under the shadow of my wings, Raph," replied Sky Falcon, "You're gonna find her, then you're gonna have to deal with me."

"So cute. Should I find her by clipping off your feathers?" he said as he sketched a giant pair of shears that charged towards Sky Falcon, snapping it's blades. Fortunately, Sky extended one wing to cut the oversized gardening tool, causing it to disappear but he barely registered an already materialized giant mallet swung towards him which he quickly shielded himself from as the impact sent him crashing into Chloé's closet. Evillustrator then tried erasing the raptor themed hero only for the latter to quickly leap out of the way as all the contents in the closet were erased which Chloé just had to watch in pure horror. Sky Falcon then ran and rolled over the bed to avoid being erased but sadly, the bed Chloe was hiding under was erased.

"Ahhhh!" Chloé screamed.

"I win, Chloé! I found you!"

"Ah! My Chanel dresses! My Todelan heels!" said Chloe as she went behind Sky Falcon, "You're… you're a monster!"

"Seriously? That should be the least of your worries right now!"

"Hush you! You don't know the importance or the expenses of fashion!"

"You like to walk all over other people," said Evillustrator. "But you don't like it when others trample on you! Do you, Chloé? Do you?!"

He then created a giant heeled shoe and just as it was about to attack them, out of nowhere, an acidic arrow struck the shoe which was corroded by the acid.

Evillustrator glared angrily at Ladybug, as she and the rest of the M-Team had just arrived as the former spun her yo-yo around.

"Oops! Broke your heel! Better watch your ankles," she smiled.

Sky Falcon gave them a dry look, "Well, well, look what the cat dragged in."

"Cat Noir didn't drag us anywhere, Sky. We flew in all on our own."

"So, what was this secret mission?"

"I'll give you the gist when we're done," said Gray Wolf.

Evillustrator looked at the M-Team. "In the comics, this is what's known as the final showdown. The thing is, if you knew her, you wouldn't be breaking a sweat to save her skin! She's the real baddie!"

"Oh! It's not true! Everybody adores me!" said Chloé.

"Just who are you trying to kid, Chloe?" said Gray Wolf.

Evillustrator created multiple giant boxing gloves that shoot out at them.

"Look out!" Cat Noir spun his staff to deflect one, but the glove knocked him out onto the patio.

"Skydive!" Sky Falcon's wings began humming with gray energy as he dashed in a burst of speed, disintegrating every one of the boxing gloves.

Ladybug then swung her yo-yo at Evillustrator, but he quickly drew himself a protective wall. Seconds later, he created a buzzsaw launching at Ladybug, but Gray Wolf quickly jumped in front of her and deflected it with her bow, only for it to be directed towards Chloe.

The buzzsaw then suddenly came to a stop inches away from hitting Chloé. Cat Noir had tossed his staff right into the hole in the centre of the buzzsaw the moment it came to a stop, it vanished. Cat Noir retrieved his staff and split it into two, and tossed both pieces at Evillustrator.

Evillustrator avoided them, but one of the broken staff destroyed a lamp darkening the room. Evillustrator then quickly made his way to the undamaged one and began to sketch on his pad while trying to erase the arrows fired his way by the lupine.

"The light!" said Ladybug remembering what Evillustrator had mentioned earlier that night. "Cat Noir! He can't draw in the dark!"

"Got it!" said Cat Noir turning his gaze to the light switch. "Cataclysm!"

With his hand filled with destructive energy, he placed down upon the light switch. Evillustrator erased it before he could touch it. As a result, he ended up breaking the wall instead.

"Here you go, kitty," said Nathanial sketching a ball and chain on his pad. "A little ball and chain to play with."

The ball and chain suddenly appeared on Cat Noir's ankle.

"Hey!" Cat Noir protested.

"Sadly, those who get in my way get erased," said Evillustrator and began to erase the floor, creating a giant hole that Cat Noir fell into and He probably would have hit the ground hard if Sky Falcon hadn't grabbed his hand in time.

"I got you, bro!" Sky said as the hole expanded, forcing him to flap his wings to maintain altitude and sadly the hole also forced back the heroines that tried to help them.

Cat Noir's ring and Sky Falcon's cuff bracelet then beeped. "No, no, no, no, no!"

"Damn!"

"Their Miraculous! Take them! Take them now!" Hawk Moth ordered.

"Before that happens, I need to take care of one more disturbance," said Evillustrator as he erased Gray Wolf's bow just as she was nocking an arrow, "Without your bow, You're powerless, mutt."

"Powerless, huh?" said Gray Wolf, "I wouldn't be too sure about that. Alpha's Howl!"

She unleashed a powerful howl, sending Evillustrator flying backwards and while that happened, Sky Falcon used his strength to toss Cat Noir above him and then spun around to cut the chain before catching the feline.

"Good work. Lucky Charm!" Ladybug yelled, tossing her yo-yo into the air and a bouncy red ball with black spots landed in her hand. "A bouncy ball?"

"Just try and stop me with that, little lady!" Evillustrator laughed.

Ladybug began looking around, noticing the lights and lamps and got an idea. "Gladly!"

She then tossed the bouncy ball with all her might at the lamps smashing when it made contact, and then hit the lights. With all light sources now destroyed, darkness filled the room, preventing Evillustrator from sketching on his pad.

Using the darkness to her advantage, Ladybug swung her yo-yo around Evillustrator's wrist and pulled him towards her. He felt the ground and accidentally tossed his pencil into the air. Ladybug then quickly jumped into the air and grabbed it before snapping it in front of him, releasing the akuma.

"No more evil doing for you little Akuma. Time to de-evilize!" Ladybug threw her yoyo, trapping the Akuma inside, turning it back into a butterfly. "Bye bye little butterfly. Miraculous Ladybug!" Ladybug yelled, throwing the ball into the air and turning everything back to normal.

Evillustrator then turned back into Nathaniel. "Huh? Where am I?"

The M-Team then bumped fists. "Pound it!"

"Noooo!" Hawk Moth roared from his lair. "The Miraculous was practically mine! And they will be. Once I have them all in my grasp, I shall rule the world!"

The window to his lair then closed.

Scene: College.

Alya was interviewing Chloé, who wasted no time bragging that she had been attacked by a supervillain.

"What happened when Ladybug and Cat Noir arrived on the scene?" Alya asked, recording her on the phone.

"Well, to be perfectly honest, they only made matters worse," said Chloé. "They came barreling in and started smashing things to bits, throwing plastic balls around my room!"

"Plastic balls?" Alya frowned.

Marinette couldn't help but giggle.

Sabrina then showed up, wearing a new beret, "I hope you had a good time last night taking care of that important thing you had to do."

"I'm really sorry, Sabrina," said Marinette honestly, " The truth is I was on a secret mission with-"

"Cat Noir." Sabrina finished for her.

"How did you know?"

"I didn't really go too far. I saw Cat Noir leaving the same place you were in," she sighed, "If anything, I should be sorry for misjudging too quickly,"

"At least we're good?"

"Yeah."

"So is there anything we can do?"

"No need. I'm already doing an important thing: Tutoring Chloe."

"Look Sabrina, let this… say what?"

"You heard me. Chloe actually came and asked me for help in teaching her math and other things and going back to what Camilla said, I realized that I should be there for her, because I'm all she needs."

"Whoa," Marinette couldn't help but be surprised herself and then noticed her new beret. "Nice new beret, by the way."

"I know, right! Chloé lent it to me. She really is my BFF!" said Sabrina excitedly, then dashed off towards Chloé. "Chloé! Your geography homework's ready!"

Marinette smiled as she watched Sabrina leave. She then closed her locker, unaware that Adrien was behind it.

"Hey!" said Adrien.

Marinette yelped in surprise.

"Sorry about the shock. So, your experience with 'Cat Noir' yesterday," said Adrien, "Because I didn't get the chance to talk about it really, but were you scared?"

"Me, scared?" said Marinette. "Pfft, it was a dream. I mean, you're a dream. I mean, in your dreams! Huh? Oh, this is a nightmare…"

The twins were snickering at her expense which she noticed, "Oh, laugh it up, you two!"

Adrien let out a chuckle, "But really, what did you think? Was it awesome?"

"I mean, sure! Yeah, but not as awesome as you, of course. Because who could be? You're the most awesome of awesome."

"So, that's a yes," said Adrian with a smile.

The bell then rang, and Adrien kissed Marinette on the cheek, leaving her in a red blushing mess. She watched as he walked away past the twins that were staring at her with knowing grins and placed her hands over her cheek feeling her heart skip a beat.

"You do realise you just blabbered on to Adrien about how you think he's awesome, don't you?" said Tikki.

"I am never gonna wash my cheek again," said Marinette, dreamily.

Tikki shook her head. "Girl, you have got to get better control of your emotions."

This caused all of them to laugh.
