[narrating] In the daytime, I'm Marinette.
Just a normal girl with a normal life.
But there's something about me
that no one knows yet.
'Cause I've got a secret.

Huh…
-Thanks, Marinette!
-Enjoy training!
[stammers]
Sorry I'm late, Adrien.
[titters]
Why did Marinette take off that fast?
Because she doesn't take
fencing class with us?
-[Kagami] Like what you're seeing?
-Huh? What? Who?
My watercolor, do you like it?
It's like you can almost
see through her eyes,
deep into her soul.
So beautiful!
Oh! The watercolor, I mean!
It's so beautiful!
[sighs]
-[phone beeps]
-You're going to ask Marinette out.
Huh? But why?
You obviously have feelings for her.
Call her.
Of course I don't! She's a friend!
You look at her the way I'd wished
you'd looked at me. Call her!
No, you're wrong.
There are none so blind
as those who will not look
at themselves in the mirror. Call her.
But, ask her out? How?
And, what do I say?
If your feelings were as clear
as you're pretending,
you wouldn't have any reason
to hesitate like that.
[Marinette] Hey, guys!
I got stickers for the band!
-[cheers]
-Yeah!
I made one version with the record label
logo on it and another without it.
[Luka] You rock, Marinette, thanks.
We shouldn't use their logo for now.
-The company hasn't sent the contract.
-Yeah, they might not.
Don't say that, Juleka.
Producers keep their word.
[Mylene] That's what Bob Roth said!
-[cell phone vibrates, rings]
-[Marinette] Adrien?
Adrien! Adrien!
[ringing continues]
Oh, would you look at that?
It's Adrien calling.
I guess I'll just answer casually.
[speaks Spanish]
Uh, um…
Good, I think.
Marinette, a lot has happened
in the last few months.
I feel something's changed about the way
I feel about you, but I'm confused.
Could we meet up and talk it through?
The way you feel about me has changed?
And you want to meet?
The thing is,
I'm really busy right now, and--
I can make time!
Where do you want to meet up?
Well, how about the Grévin Museum?
[grumbles]
The Grévin Museum? Okay. Great!
Super great! Yes! The Grévin Museum.
Okay, see you later, then.
-[titters]
-[cell phone beeps]
-[Rose] Whoo-hoo!
-Marinette and Adrien are going on a date!
-Uh, yay.
-We gotta celebrate!
-[all cheer]
-[Marinette titters]
You guys go ahead.
The Grévin Museum?
-Yes. Why? Did I do something wrong?
-On a romantic date?
You told me my feelings were unclear,
and you were right.
Something's changed,
but I don't know what.
Since I have a feeling it happened around
the time we went to the Grévin Museum…
Why haven't we been molded together
in the plaster of destiny,
marble to marble,
wax lips against wax lips,
entwined for eternity.
It just seemed
like the right place to meet.
-Marinette is a real artist.
-[Rose] Mm-hmm.
-[Mylene] Yeah.
-[Ivan] I love her stickers.
-Is something wrong?
-No, everything's fine.
I wanted to stick the stickers.
Whenever I make stickers,
I like to stick 'em myself.
It's important for a designer of stickers.
Luka, I don't know what to do.
I don't know what's happening to me.
I don't know how to feel.
I'm completely confused.
I can't be in love with Adrien.
When I'm in love with Adrien,
I make a giant mess of things.
I made a huge mistake
because of my feelings for him,
and I ended up losing
some very valuable things, and--
Marinette, what's past is past.
What matters
is what tune your heart is playing now.
Well, that's the thing.
There's no tune anymore.
Maybe because there's
too much noise around you.
Spending time alone with Adrien will be
a chance to listen to how you're feeling.
But, I can't go back to the Grévin Museum.
Not with him.
[sighs]
Whoa! Eternity sounds like a long time.
But, isn't spending time with him
what you've wanted?
Yeah, but that's what's weird.
We've been schoolmates for months,
and I've been in love with him without
being able to really talk to him.
I've imagined stories with him.
Then, in real life,
everything just failed miserably.
What if that's all there is to it,
stories I told myself?
What if I don't actually know him?
And now he's coming to me.
I should be happy.
But the truth is,
it just makes me uncomfortable.
You're simply discerning between
your dream and the real Adrien.
But, that's a good thing.
That's the only way you'll know
if you love him.
But, I'm scared, Luka.
If only I had a friend to go with me,
just so I'm less scared.
[chuckles]
Uh…
Why is Marinette bringing Luka?
Is she still in love with him?
You're just experiencing jealousy, Adrien.
I-- You think so?
Huh? [sighs]
So, that's why he wanted to see me.
When he said his feelings had changed,
he meant he's with Kagami.
-Well, at least the situation's clear now.
-Stop jumping to conclusions.
Marinette, Luka, are you guys together?
Yes. That's right.
We're more together than ever.
Uh, I'm happy for you two.
Marinette?
Well, I mean, together--
We came together is what I mean.
How about you guys?
I'm glad to see
you guys patched things up.
I knew you were meant for each other.
Marinette, you know perfectly well that
Adrien and I are only just friends now.
All right,
we'll leave you two together now.
Enjoy the visit.
I still can't hear a tune.
I need you please, Luka.
-Thank you, Kagami.
-You're welcome, but I'm staying.
You'll probably still need me.
-Hello, Véronique.
-Adrien. Did we have an appointment?
Is there a problem with your statue?
No, Véronique.
I just came with my friends, for fun.
Oh! Excellent. If you need anything,
don't hesitate to ask.
[Alliance alarm rings, chimes]
You have an appointment
with Mayor Bourgeois in five minutes.
Very well, Alliance. I'd better hurry.
We're discussing something new
for the museum.
But it's a secret. I'll invite you
to the opening of this new hall.
-I can't wait for everyone to see it.
-Isn't she so great?
Why don't we start in the Hall of Columns?
Remember when you mistook me
for a statue, Marinette?
Yeah, I remember really well.
So well that maybe we should
go check out another statue.
-What do you say?
-You kissed me.
Yes. Oh, no. Well, you call it a kiss
but it's the statue I almost kissed.
It was more a miss than a kiss.
I thought you were made of wax.
My lips did get close but, technically,
you can't really call it a kiss.
What's the official distance for a kiss?
Adrien's problem is he doesn't realize
his feelings for Marinette are love.
I think it's because
he's a kind, generous person.
He loves everyone
and everyone loves him back.
He's lost in a jungle of love. He can't
read the signals Marinette sends him.
That's true. Learning to read
Marinette's signals is a complex endeavor.
It took me a lot of time.
…you leaped backwards
to stand at a respectful distance.
-I get it, mind you. It was awkward.
-I don't think I was feeling awkward.
More like surprised.
Not by what you were doing,
but by how I was feeling.
And how I was feeling was--
Do not finish that sentence
under any circumstance. Sorry, ma'am.
I'm fine. I'll be right back.
What if Adrien and I
weren't meant to be together?
What if I was meant to be alone?
Maybe I can never be myself with anyone.
Maybe I should just give up being in love.
I think you may have more in common
with Adrien than you think.
Trust in yourself for once.
-Feeling jealous?
-I don't know.
All I know is that
I'd like to be in Luka's place.
Then you should take his place.
[Mayor Bourgeois]
I will not let you display this room.
My daughter-- I mean, the people of Paris
could get akumatized.
This will remind them of Ladybug
and Cat Noir's disastrous failure
following the disastrous loss
of the Miraculous
that Ladybug was supposed to be guarding.
And this may lead to many more
disastrous disasters.
Just the thought is harrowing enough.
Did I mention
how disastrous this could be?
No, Mr. Mayor. Not opening this hall
would be disastrous for people's hope.
I'm sure Ladybug will get the Miraculous
back and the superheroes will come back.
What if Ladybug fails over and over?
What if we never see
those superheroes again?
Trust me.
Politics is about adapting to the times
and the times are telling us
to throw these away.
You're wrong. These times call for hope.
I will show these statues no matter what.
You won't if I have your museum shut down
due to hygiene problems.
There are no hygiene problems here.
Then there are no superhero statues.
No statues, no hygiene problems.
It's the status quo.
You know, Marinette,
this is the first time I--
Mr. Bob Roth, don't forget
to send Kitty Section their contract.
Hey there, Jagged Stone. Rock 'n' roll.
Hello, Mr. Mayor.
How did your appointment go?
What?
[grumbles] They're never gonna make it.
Not without a little nudge from fate.
[both grunt]
[Marinette]
They're going. They're leaving us alone.
They're gonna lose us-- Get lost--
We're lost. All is lost.
It's okay, Marinette. We're not lost.
We're together.
You're right, we should all stay together.
[pants] Hey! Wait for us.
Hey. Wait!
[Marinette pants]
Huh?
No, no, no. Wait.
-[beeps]
-[doors bang]
[Véronique sobbing]
Of course.
The return of the superheroes.
Such a fantastic idea,
as long as they're at my service.
Kaalki, your power is now mine.
Voyage, my Megakuma.
-[Monarch] Manipula.
-[whimpers]
I am Monarch. Do you mourn
the demise of the superheroes?
Well, I'm giving you the power
to bring them back to life
along with all their powers.
Why would you do that?
You're the reason they disappeared.
-You stole their Miraculous.
-I didn't steal anything.
Ladybug is the one who lost them.
She's responsible
for everything that's happening today.
If Paris had another superhero leader,
the other superheroes
would all still be here
and your museum wouldn't
be threatened with closure.
If you bring me
Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculous,
I promise to stop akumatizing people.
I'm offering you the chance
to give real hope to the people of Paris.
Isn't that what you wanted?
[whimpers]
It is. [grumbles]
Hmm.
-[Monarch] Stompp.
-[Stompp whimpers]
[Monarch] Your power is now mine.
Transfer.
[Alliance alarm blares, beeps]
Manipula, I'm transferring the essence
of the Miraculous of Determination to you.
It will give you
the power of invulnerability.
This way magical powers
will have no effect on you.
Not even Ladybug and Cat Noir's.
[cackles]
[straining] I can't get it to open.
-No signal. What are we gonna do?
-Uh--
Everything's okay, Marinette. I'm here.
Exactly, you're here, that's the problem.
[stammers] I'm the problem?
No, you're not the problem,
I'm the problem.
Every time I get close to you I…
[grunts] I make a mess of things.
I cause disasters.
Of course not. Kissing me
while you thought I was a statue
was not disastrous at all, believe me.
[sighs] I just can't tell you anything.
You can tell me everything.
[Marinette, Adrien gasp, pant]
Hmm. [cackles]
[Marinette whimpers]
The door is open. Let's run.
Hmm?
Hmm.
[Marinette] Tikki, spots on.
[wax superheroes panting]
-[yo-yo whips]
-[Ladybug grunts]
Sorry for the delay, M'Lady.
I got held up. [grunts]
[Ladybug grunts] Hmm.
Ladybug, Cat Noir, you're going to be
proud of me. The superheroes are back.
And if you give me your Miraculous,
then Monarch will renounce evil.
The Grévin Museum will once again
be able to celebrate heroes.
-That's great, Véronique?
-I am Manipula now.
If you really wanna help us, like
you've always done, then reject the akuma.
Monarch's manipulating you.
Don't worry.
If he doesn't keep his end of the deal,
I'll defeat him
with my team of superheroes.
He can take his powers back
whenever he wants.
Trust us.
How can you trust Ladybug
if she won't trust you?
You should be the ones trusting me,
Ladybug and Cat Noir.
I have a team of superheroes,
which you no longer do.
[Ladybug whimpers]
She's right, they're gone because of me.
I lost the Miraculous and my team too.
You didn't lose me.
As long as Monarch doesn't have
our Miraculous, he hasn't won.
And we need everyone's help,
including you, Véronique.
You're right, you do need me.
I'm the new hope.
[wax superheroes grunt]
-[Ladybug] Huh?
-It's a trap.
[Ladybug grunts]
[gasps]
You chose your side. Too bad for you.
[grunts]
Illusions.
Huh? What is this?
Each strip contains
a part of the Megakuma.
So we've got to destroy them all
to capture it. Let's do this. [grunts]
[Monarch] See? I was right.
Ladybug is not worthy of your admiration.
She doesn't want peace
or she would've agreed to your deal.
You can count on me
to get the Miraculous, Monarch.
[grunts]
Paris has a new superhero.
Gather in pairs and get me
Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculous.
In the meantime, I'll make sure
the mayor gives way for my museum
to honor the real heroes.
Mr. Mayor, you're going to allow
my museum to open the Hall of Heroes.
-[stammers] Yes, I--
-Daddy, no!
[grumbles]
Ma'am, I'm terribly sorry, but I can't.
So be it.
Cat Noir.
Cataclysm!
If you don't change your mind,
I'm going to destroy your city hall.
Are we still, "adapting to the times,"
Mr. Mayor?
-Daddy!
-[Mayor Bourgeois whimpering]
[Cat Noir grunts]
[wax superheroes grunt]
[wax superhero grunts]
[wax superhero shrieks]
[wax superheroes grunt]
[wax superheroes shriek]
[wax superheroes shriek]
-Power down!
-Power down!
[Cat Noir] Go fish.
[Cat Noir grunts]
You're in great shape these days,
kitty cat.
We can't afford to make any more mistakes.
[grunts]
[both grunt]
Lucky charm!
They look just like us.
-But we're one of a kind!
-[Ladybug grunts]
[both grunting]
[Cat Noir exclaims]
-[Ladybug grunts]
-[wax Cat Noir] You wouldn't dare.
-[Ladybug] Huh?
-M'Lady, it's me.
[Cat Noir] It's just an image, M'Lady.
A wax copycat. I'm your real partner.
[wax Cat Noir hisses]
[wax Cat Noir grunts]
[grunts, groans]
[gasps] M'Lady!
[gasps]
I'm here.
[Ladybug grunts]
[gasps]
You okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
Lucky charm!
[grunts, strains]
[Cat Noir grunts]
-[grunts]
-[Manipula] Hmm.
-[Chloé, Mayor Bourgeois whimper]
-Let the mayor and his daughter go.
Not until he authorizes the opening
of the Hall of Heroes in my museum!
[Ladybug] Why wouldn't you allow it?
Chloé, honey,
I don't think that was a very good idea.
All this is all because you were lame,
Ladybug.
And you lost the Miraculous
because of your lameness.
If you had kept me, Queen Bee,
this never would have happened!
And, now, you get what you deserve,
Lady Lame.
Since you're a superhero,
you have no choice
but to protect me from that villain.
So, who's the lamest one of all?
Seems like you haven't been making
the right choices, Ladybug.
But since you've chosen to go up
against me and my superheroes,
then this fight will be your last.
[gasps]
Nothing.
Cataclysm!
Why waste your time
trying to break my w*apon, kitty?
Why not use it directly on me?
She's lost her mind.
That's right.
Monarch gave me a little gift.
I am invincible to your powers.
-Take care of this!
-[Cat Noir grunts]
-[Ladybug] Cat Noir! No!
-Ladybug, watch out!
-[Manipula grunts]
-[Ladybug screams]
Thanks to me, hope is going to return
to the hearts of Parisians.
What you think is hope
will only lead to despair.
And how do you plan on stopping me?
Your powers can't hurt me or Minotaurox.
Cat Noir, it's over!
-You're wrong about your power, M'Lady.
-[both grunt]
Your real power has never been
in the objects.
It's always been in figuring out
how to use them!
[Ladybug grunts]
[Ladybug] You might be
invulnerable to superpowers, Manipula.
But that doesn't mean you're invincible!
Gotcha!
Bye-bye, little butterfly.
Miraculous Ladybug!
[Ladybug] Véronique, this magical charm
will help you remember
to never give up hope.
We will always be there for you.
Hmm.
Mr. Mayor, I promise that we will defeat
Monarch and bring back our real heroes.
But to do that,
we need everyone's support.
People need the hope
that Véronique's museum can offer.
You're right, Ladybug.
I will support the opening
of the Hall of Heroes.
[grumbles]
-Pound it.
-Pound it.
[both grunt]
-[Ladybug] Cat Noir, wait.
-Huh?
Thanks for what you did earlier.
I couldn't destroy that wax Cat Noir,
because ever since we've been alone again,
without the other superheroes,
I've seen you differently.
I think my feelings for you have changed.
I've realized that I can share things with
you that I can't share with anyone else.
I know how you feel.
No more misunderstandings between us,
M'Lady.
We are the best partners
in the world. It's as simple as that.
I can't thank you enough.
And because of you,
I finally realize my true feelings.
Speaking of, I gotta go.
I have something to finish.
You really have to go right now?
-We're about to de-transform.
-[beeping]
But we'll see each other again soon.
No worries. [grunts]
[Ladybug sighs]
Marinette! Marinette!
Marinette! Marinette!
Whew. Are we out of danger? Is it over?
Marinette! Yeah, don't worry.
Everything's okay now.
Good! With this akumatized villain thing,
it's gotten so late. Now I gotta go.
I have some sewing to do
and some stickers to stick.
See you later, guys!
So, have you figured out
how you feel about Marinette?
Yes.
I think I'm in love.
Are you okay, Marinette?
No, Tikki, it's a "cat-astrophe."
I think I'm falling in love.
