04x16 - Simpleman

[bunniefuu]

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.

Because I've got a secret.

(Mutters)

Marinette hasn't come around

here for a while. Is she OK?

Oh, yeah. Yeah, she's fine.

It's just that she... she's got

a lot of stuff going on.

You can be honest with me.

She's stopped showing up, 'cause

she knows I'm in love with her.

Right?

Of course not! Marinette stopped

coming because rehearsal's

at the same time

as her aqua-pony classes,

with Pomponey,

her favourite pony!

Pomponey is so cute, with his

golden mane that's so brushable!

But he's also super sensitive,

and any time Marinette misses

aqua-pony, he gets depressed.

I get it, Rose. Thanks.

- Wow, Rose!

- I know,

but we couldn't say she's

too embarrassed to see him.

It would've broken his heart.

We must patch things up

between them,

so they can be buddies again!

We can all be buddies, right?

Oh! I know!

Luka could go to aqua-pony class

with Marinette!

You know that Aqua-pony

is not real, don't you?

Oh, yeah, right!

I'm sure we can figure out a way

to get them together.

Something that Marinette

has to come to.

- Where they'll talk...

- And be buddies again!

Hey! Aren't we all going to see

The Rock And Monster Party

Parade together this Saturday?

What if, instead of going

to the movies, we had a party?

Right here on the houseboat! For

Juleka's birthday... and Luka's!

Of course! Since they're twins,

it's Luka's birthday, too!

- Which means he'll be there!

- And Marinette!

Wait a sec!

Adrien can't come this Saturday.

- He's got a fashion show.

- Perfect! If he came,

she couldn't

keep her eyes off him.

And she might act... You know!

- I'll help set up!

- I'm on music!

- I'll take care of Marinette!

- What do you think?

- Awesome idea, right?

- I... Yeah.

- Woohoo! Yeah!

- Thanks, Ju. You're the best.

A party on the houseboat

for Juleka's birthday? OK.

Wait a minute, Alya Césaire!

We were supposed to go to the

movies for Juleka's birthday,

but now we're having a party.

And, since Luka is Juleka's

twin, it's also his birthday.

Which means he'll be there.

But you thought

I'd never figure that out.

And since it's on the river,

I'd have no way of leaving

and I'd be forced

to talk to him! It's a trap!

OK, girl. You're really good.

No wonder you're Ladybug.

- Alya! You can't do this to me!

- No, you can't do this to Luka.

You have to talk to him.

You're not together,

but you can still be friends!

But it'll be so awkward!

Luka's in love with me,

but I'm in love with Adrien.

Every time we see each other,

he gets hurt again,

'cause he knows

I'll never feel the same.

Overdoing it a little?

He got akumatised twice

because of me.

Yeah, but things

are different this time!

If that happens, once you...

I mean, Ladybug, saves him

and gives him the magical charm,

it'll never happen again!

Then you can be friends again!

You can't say no to that!

- It's your duty!

- (Groans) OK.

Juleka! Hey! Psst! Psst!

- Juleka!

- Talking garbage can? Awesome!

No! It's me! I'm really sorry.

I said I'd come to your birthday

and thought

there'd be no problems, but...

I hate to ask, but do you think

you could arrange for Luka

to, like, not go?

I know! It's his birthday too!

But it wouldn't be

a great birthday

if the girl who broke his heart

were there, right?

I'd totally miss it if I could,

but Alya just won't drop it!

I feel terrible

I made Luka unhappy

and that he got akumatised.

I don't think I can ever look

him in the eyes again and...

- I'll see what I can do.

- Really? You'll talk to him?

Oh, Juleka, you're the best!

(Guitar music)

Hey. I'd like to have a party

here with the g*ng on Saturday,

- after all.

- Great idea!

And actually, um...

Well, Marinette...

Marinette will be there? Whoa!

I'm so relieved!

I thought she was avoiding me!

That's cool! Really super cool!

- Was there something else?

- No. No.

Juleka, I know that look.

You're holding back something

in there that needs to come out.

- (Knocking)

- Dad?

Luka! Hey, son!

How's it strummin'?

- Rock 'n' roll!

- Rock 'n' roll!

- Hi!

- Ready for the diminished D?

I use it

in all my tear-jerking ballads.

Jagged Stone! You scalawag!

No stowaways on my ship!

Disembark my house

right this instant!

Hey, Anarka! Rock 'n' roll!

How d'you know I was here?

- I was being so sneaky!

- Sneaky?

Your tour bus is parked on

the dock, you one-hit wonder!

You can't keep me from teaching

the diminished D to my son!

I appreciate

you trying to create a bond

with your children, Jagged.

But no one sets foot here

without the captain's

permission! And I'm the captain!

Well, then, Mom,

uh, with your permission,

could Dad come to our birthday?

Juleka wants to throw a party.

Aaah!

Hey, Juleka! Rock 'n' roll!

I didn't see you there!

Juleka, you really want this old

pirate to be at your birthday?

- Yes.

- Ah, ha, ha! Awesome!

See you Saturday, then!

- (Thud)

- Rock 'n' roll...

- (Splash)

- Uh...

- (Phone rings)

- So, Juleka? Everything good?

Luka will be there right?

Hey, Juleka! Everything good?

Luka won't be there right?

I'm so happy

that everyone will be there!

Marinette, I have to say that

I'm really impressed with you.

I never thought you'd be so

chill about seeing Luka again.

See how brave

Marinette is being, Juleka?

It's nothing. You gotta get over

things in life, grow up a bit!

Sorry again, but thanks

for getting Luka out of here.

I couldn't handle this

otherwise. Is he OK, by the way?

I hope he didn't

take it too hard. Aaah!

- Hey, Marinette!

- Excuse me! Sorry!

I've got something to do.

It's super urgent!

Yep. Bye! Aaah!

I'm OK!

Is something wrong

with Marinette?

- What's going on, Jul?

- Is there a problem?

- Is she OK?

- What's wrong with her?

It's just, um...

- Jul!

- (Sighs) I knew it.

Marinette doesn't want

anything to do with me.

And Juleka didn't have the heart

to tell me.

The cruel disillusion

of a young man who hoped

that a friendship with a faded

love could be rekindled...

Fly away, my little akuma.

Go evilise that heart!

Luka, come on.

It's not like that.

You know how she gets

around awkward situations...

She doesn't hate you.

She's just... Marinette!

Jul didn't say anything 'cause

she didn't want to hurt you.

- She was trying to protect you!

- Everyone loves you, here.

Thanks, guys, for everything.

How strange. The negative

feelings have disappeared.

But stay where you are,

my little akuma.

A party with teenagers

always makes for a party

of strong emotions.

Juleka!

Why is he here?

You couldn't tell him,

could you?

A young girl disappointed in

herself and racked with guilt...

Of course you couldn't tell him!

I asked you

to do the impossible.

I'm so sorry, Juleka.

Again? What's going on?

(Party music)

Hey, kids. Everything jammin'?

- Jagged Stone...

- Jagged Stone...

- Hi, Dad.

- Sorry I'm tardy to the party.

Have any wrapping paper?

- Hang on, Jagged Stone...

- Is the father of...

- Luka and Juleka?

- A group of friends

surprised to find out

that two of them

have been keeping secrets.

That's so awesome!

- Yeah!

- Woohoo!

(Music starts again)

Yes, well,

I should have guessed.

- Well, yeah, he's my dad.

- What?

Jagged Stone is your father?

But why would you think

he doesn't love you,

and likes your brother better?

You'll see, she's a real beauty!

The sound'll make

your head spin!

So you better hide it, OK?

And not a word to your sister!

Ah! A young girl whose biggest

fears have come true.

And what could be worse than not

being loved by your own father?

Hang on, Juleka. I'm sure

this is just a misunderstanding.

You need to talk to your Dad.

That's how problems get solved.

- Jagged!

- Aaah!

- Marinette?

- Hi, Luka.

Yes, I know, we need to talk.

And we will, but don't worry.

But right now,

I need to talk to your dad!

Jagged! You can't give

an amazing guitar to your son

and nothing... nothing...

and nothing to your daughter!

(Sighs) Hey! Thanks a lot

for your incredible discretion,

Marinette. Rock 'n' Roll!

Actually, this was supposed to

be a surprise gift for Juleka!

Juleka plays bass, right?

So, I thought it'd be cool if

I gave her the very first bass

I ever owned.

- Happy birthday, Juleka!

- Thank you.

Argh!

And of course I've got a present

for my two kids!

My gift for Luka was this

original edition of the first LP

from CROCODUO,

the group I had with their mom.

Happy birthday, Luka!

Jagged Stone!

You really are a shipwrecker!

How dare you come here

and give my son the album

- that caused our break-up?

- What? You mean the album

that helped me get my life back

after you left me!

You've got some nerve!

You were the one who left me!

No, you were!

Finally! Two fractured lovers

full of resentment and anger!

Crocoduel, I am Shadow Moth!

I'm giving you the power

to get back together,

to better tear each other apart!

You finally have the chance

to prove that you were right!

All I ask in return is that

one of you bring me Ladybug

and Cat Noir's Miraculous.

May the best rocker win!

Everybody, out of the boat!

Quick!

(Screaming)

You selfish sea dog! You sailed

off on your own cruise,

leaving

two little mateys behind!

I had to go solo

after you destroyed our duo.

Liberty, fire!

Ultimate solo!

Stop arguing and start talking!

You know who needs

a little help to slip away!

Ow! Ouch! I think

I've just sprained my ankle!

Man, oh, man, does this hurt!

Time to transform!

I think

it's starting to swell up!

Arr! Why, come back here,

you scallywag!

No, you'll have to catch me.

Ha, ha, ha! Your powers

are off-key, Ladybug!

You shouldn't venture into water

if you don't know how to swim!

Now, Crocoduel,

seize their Miraculous!

- Ladybug's Miraculous is mine!

- No, mine!

Whenever you're ready, Cat Noir,

the show's already started!

Did you see that?

- What's up there?

- Quick, Monsieur Adrien.

We'd better seek shelter

while they deal with this!

The show must go on!

Find safety.

- I'll put on my makeup myself.

- Oh! What a pro!

Plagg, claws out!

Aaah!

Unless you want to be crushed

by my cannonballs,

- give me your Miraculous!

- You'll give your jewels to me,

or my Awesome Solo

will destroy Paris!

Promise me we won't be like them

when we're an old couple.

For that to happen, we'd have

to be a couple first, kitty-cat!

Hey!

Where you think you're going?

Aaah!

Don't tell me you're gonna let

those two house-pets b*at us!

Ha, ha, ha!

Where did she go?

I'm the only one who gets

to shipwreck you, Captain!

Come on, Guitar Villain!

We've got a duel to finish!

Stay here.

We'll be back for you!

Steer a course for the sky!

(Evil laugh)

Hey! No fair! We don't have any

wings or a flying pirate ship!

- So, where were we?

- The only thing

you've ever cared about

is your music!

- Our music!

- Liberty! Fire at will!

Awesome solo!

(Sighs)

They'll tire of this eventually.

Aaah!

To think

that they were in love once.

Those feelings are long gone.

Still, it's no reason

to stop talking to each other.

Lucky Charm!

Not sure that's strong enough

to patch things up between them.

We need someone

they'll listen to!

Don't stay here. We'll talk

later. I mean, it's not safe!

Where's she going? Eh! I'll

just protect Paris on my own!

- You OK?

- Mmm.

Juleka Couffaine, here is

the Miraculous of the Tiger

which gives the Power of Clout.

You will use it

for the greater good.

Roar! Let's cause some havoc!

Once the job is done,

return the Miraculous to me.

Can I trust you?

- Yes.

- What? I can't hear you.

- I still can't hear you!

Come on! Is that all you got?

I said... Yes!

Ooh! You are good!

You and I

are gonna get along just fine!

All you gotta say now is,

"Roar, stripes on!"

Roar, stripes on!

There you go...

- Thank you, Cat Noir!

- Hey, kitty-cat!

You'll have to throw us up

as high as you can!

- Can you do that?

- I can sure try!

Hey there, I'm Cat Noir!

And you are?

I'm, uh... Purple Tigress!

Purple Tigress? Miaow!

That makes us

practically family!

Here we go!

Ha! Ahoy, Captain Hardrock!

Time to turn the volume down,

Da... uh, Guitar Villain!

Give that back, Ladybug!

Hey! Come back!

You're ruining the music!

- Where's the akuma?

- I'm sure I saw it go in there.

I'll make you walk the plank,

vermin!

Ha, ha, ha! Not in the Top

any more are we?

Rock 'n' riff, baby!

- It didn't work?

- I don't get it!

The akuma entered these

before they were separated!

Ah!

We broke them separately,

so we should join them together

to break them together again!

- Full speed ahead!

- Awesome solo!

- (Evil laugh)

- Rock 'n' riff, baby!

Go ahead, Purple Tigress!

Keep them at bay.

Clout!

Mom, Dad... I'm sorry, but...

talk it over instead of arguing!

- It's up to you, kitty.

- Cataclysm!

No more evildoing for you,

little akuma.

Time to de-evilise!

Gotcha!

Bye-bye, little butterfly.

Aaah!

Miraculous Ladybug!

ALL: Pound it!

Anarka, Jagged, I wish I could

help you work things out,

but that's beyond my powers.

But these charms will

protect you from Shadow Moth.

Nice right hook, Purple Tigress.

I hope we'll see you again.

Ladybug, you and your friends

always manage to create harmony.

But one day,

someone will hit a wrong note,

and then

I'll be the one making music.

Thanks for trusting me, Ladybug.

I knew

you'd make yourself heard.

And don't hesitate to speak

your mind, loud and clear,

even without your suit,

when you need to.

It's your fault

we got akumatised!

Are you kidding?

You were completely off key!

Stop! Now, you are going

to apologise and make up,

- by talking, not yelling.

- But he was the one who...

No one cares.

The past is the past.

I'm sorry, Nanarky.

I was wrong.

No, you old pirate, it was me.

- No, it's my fault.

- Juleka, you rock!

- No, really! It was me!

- No, me.

- It was my fault!

- My fault!

- No, it's mine!

- Mine!

Mine!

Juleka, I know I haven't been

playing to your tune.

But you know, whatever you wanna

say to me, I'm all ears.

- I love you, Dad.

- You rock my world, too.

What about you?

When are you going to

tell Adrien how you feel?

- Adrien?

- If Juleka was able

to make her voice heard,

I'm sure you'll be able to, too.

I'm sorry

I've been avoiding you, I...

You know, it hurts more

not seeing you than seeing you,

Marinette.

Buddies?

Buddies.
