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.

Hmm?
The two you are so cute together!
Uh... Thanks?
‐ You guys make a good couple! ‐ We're not a couple,
we're partners!
‐ Ah, love is great! ‐ I don't believe this.
What is with everybody today? We are not in love!
You can't deny it, it's in the news!
What?
Cat Noir, can I have an autograph?
Oh! "Ladybug and Cat Noir, voted Couple of the Year?"
"They share more than a love of justice"?
‐ What the heck is going on? ‐ This is proof
that my ice cream is right.
You two are made for each other!
This is baloney! These photos have been taken out of context!
We were fighting villains! This is me breaking Cat Noir
out of Dark Cupid's spell, and this... we can't remember,
‐ 'cause he erased our memories! ‐ Of course!
It's always the supervillain's fault!
But what the mind forgets, the heart remembers!
Maybe he's right. After all, he's still the sweethearts'
‐ ice‐cream maker! ‐ Cat Noir! Not now!
Maybe if we kiss again our memories would come back!
Ugh, Enough! Why don't you take a little catnap?
As for you, you big ice‐cream cone,
hand over that akumatised scoop, right now!
Lucky Charm! A fire extinguisher...
OK, add this thing... and that one...
ANDRE: No!
‐ (Thud) ‐ Time to de‐evilise!
Miraculous Ladybug!
It doesn't make sense.
My ice cream is never wrong. Ladybug and Cat Noir
‐ are made for each other! ‐ Ice cream, like tabloids,
can be wrong sometimes!
Ugh!
Ah! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
I guess I'm not your favourite cat at the moment, am I?
Can I take you out to a movie to make up for it?
Or a restaurant, to celebrate our nomination
‐ as Couple of the Year? ‐ We are not!
‐ We're not a couple at all! ‐ Sorry, sorry.
I didn't mean to make you so mad.
I get it. You're sick of me.
I sound like a broken record, expressing affection
over and over.
I know I should stop, but I can't help it, you know?
I've so many feelings welled up,
and I don't know how to control them!
(Sighs) I know your heart's in the right place,
‐ and you don't mean any harm ‐‐ ‐ You're right,
you shouldn't have to put up with this. I'll stop.
I don't know how yet, but I'll figure it out, I promise.
I'm counting on you.
I'll see you later.
Claws in.
Ladybug's right, Plagg.
I've no right to force my feelings on her.
This has to change. I must change.
You can't do this to me.
I said, "All the photos with Cat Noir and me together."
What about press freedom?
Sorry. I need your help with this one.
(Groans)
Shock wave! Just as Ladybug and Cat Noir have been voted
France's Favourite Couple, all images of them together
disappeared from The Ladyblog,
the number‐one source of information about them.
‐ Are they no longer an item? ‐ We were never an item!
To talk about it with us is Barbara Gueaux ‐‐
Get into position! En garde! Prêts! Allez!
Attaque! Touche! Point!
Hmm...
Me defeating you all the time is normal.
Anyone defeating you worries me.
If you have a problem, let me help you.
No one can help me, Kagami.
Can you stop here, please?
(Sobbing)
I feel a devastating disappointment,
a sense of guilt!
Adrien?
Reverse morphosis!
Your job was to drive Adrien home immediately after class!
Go get him, now!
I don't call it a "monetising informational space."
‐ I call it visual pollution! ‐ (Protesting voice)
How much would it cost to get it removed?
(Gasps) That much?
Could I pay in 3500 instalments?
(Gasps) Adrien?
‐ Are you still there? ‐ Yeah, but...
Leave the poster there! Bye, love ya! I mean, goodbye!
Tikki, Adrien is sad! Operation Bye‐bye Blues is a go!
Present for Adrien's name day... For the mock final exam...
In case he ever gets a cast...
Quick! Gotta get there before he leaves!
‐ Is it this one? ‐ Yes, yes, yes, yes!
(Casual humming)
Marinette?
Oh! Adrien! Fancy seeing you here!
And you look so sad. That's good!
I mean, no. It's sad that you're sad.
But I happened to be out shopping, and have with me,
by an incredible coincidence,
the perfect thing to bring back your smile! So, um... Gift!
Thanks!
Wow! I've always dreamed of having a hamster!
How'd you know they were my favourite animal?
You read my heart like no one can, Marinette!
It's... it's 'cause I love you, Adrien!
In that case, you must already know
what my heart wants more than anything right now.
Uh... No. What?
‐ A hamster wheel? ‐ Huh? No!
This one is just in case they bring back that film where...
where... nothing!
This wasn't the perfect gift.
Oh, that's a shame. A cool gift like that could be useful.
It's not cool, or useful.
The garbage can is perfect for stuff
‐ you should forget about! ‐ The garbage can. Right.
I have to go. Bye, Marinette.
Argh! I messed everything up again!
(Honking)
I'd like to speak to you, Adrien.
As you wish, Father.
Um... Is everything all right?
Yes, Father.
Ah! Good.
Adrien! Since your mother disappeared,
I must have seemed distant, but...
‐ I don't blame you, Father. ‐ I want you to know that,
if you needed to, you could talk to me.
If I needed to, Father, I would.
Wow! Your father said three whole sentences!
All those warm feelings! Enough to melt a wheel of raclette!
Oh, raclette cheese! What a great idea!
I don't want to be like my father,
tied to a memory of what can never be again!
Plagg, claws out!
I'm worried about Adrien. His sword has lost its edge.
‐ His what? ‐ Since you're both so weak,
I mean, sensitive, you understand him
‐ and could help him be happy. ‐ I'm not wea ‐‐
Declare your love for him, so the flow of your kind words
waters the sharpening stone that's his heart. That way,
‐ He'll get his edge back. ‐ I didn't get a ‐‐
Your technique to get Adrien to fall for you is terrible.
The art of attraction is like combat. And to win in combat,
you need training. You are tori, the attacker.
‐ So you need uke, a defender. ‐ Tori? Uke?
Find someone you have no feelings for,
so you practice your techniques with that person
‐ without emotional issues. ‐ Isn't that weird?
Weirder than what you do? It's a proven technique.
There are books about it.
But what if the person I'm practising on falls for me?
Since I don't love them, the consequences could be awful.
That's why the person must have zero chance of falling for you!
KAGAMI: I'm counting on you.
But who can I find to do this weird toriukethingamajig with?
‐ I can play Adrien! ‐ That's sweet of you, Tikki!
I may be imaginative, but I think
I'll need at least a human on this one!
Cataclysm!
Claws in!
Ugh! Have mercy. You know I love cheese,
but even I'm starting to get sick of it.
We must cataclysm all traces of my love for Ladybug.
‐ All of them? ‐ Plagg, claws out!
No... Nope... No, that'd be way too weird.
Oh! It's impossible!
I'll never be able to find anyone to practice on!
Cat Noir! He's the perfect choice!
There's no way he has any feelings for me!
Well, for the other me, yes, but not for the real me‐me!
Isn't it strange that he's out here all alone,
‐ when nobody's been akumatized? ‐ Aw, a cat on a rooftop.
What could be more normal? Hide, Tikki!
Cat Noir! Here kitty, kitty!
Marinette, is everything OK?
Yeah! Perfect timing! I need a boyfriend!
A boyfriend? Oh, no, no, no! I'm done with lovey‐dovey stuff!
I'm not in love and don't plan on it any time soon!
Then that's perfect! Exactly what I need!
I have a problem with my boyfriend, who isn't yet,
'cause I can't tell him how I feel.
So, I need someone who doesn't have a crush on me
and you'd be perfect, since you'd not fall for me,
‐ since you don't love anyone! ‐ No one. Exactly. No one!
But, uh... I still don't get it. You need me to do what, exactly?
To play my future boyfriend. And I'll play the girlfriend
who does things without messing up. Know what I mean?
Uh... Not much more than before.
Great! Let's do this, then! You sit there and I'll come in!
"Dear Cat Noir, ever since I met you,
I've had three suns in my heart.
They shine so brightly that when I see you,
they make me melt until thought is reduced to droplets.
Those suns are only three little words,
but they're burning my lips. Please soothe me, Cat Noir,
and tell me you love me as much as ‐‐ "
Uh, Marinette... Sorry. I'm really flattered,
but, like I told you, I'm not in love with anyone!
Of course! I'm not talking to you!
This is for the boyfriend who's not my boyfriend yet.
Ah! Got it! But since you said Cat Noir,
I thought you were talking to me.
‐ Oh, right. Shoot. ‐ What's your boyfriend's name?
Uh... that's private!
Ah! That's not gonna make things any easier.
‐ OK. Buttercup! ‐ (Chuckles)
His name is Buttercup?
Of course it's not his name! It's a code name!
Come on, start over!
"Dear Buttercup, ever since I met you,
‐ I've had three suns in my ‐‐ " ‐ (Guffaws)
Would you please concentrate? This is serious!
Sorry. it's the "Buttercup" name.
"Dear Buttercup, ever since I met you,
I've had three suns in my heart. They shine so brightly that ‐‐ "
What's with the face? Are you hurting or something?
‐ I'm being serious. ‐ Well, OK,
that's not being helpful at all! Be serious,
but not like you're trying to solve a math problem!
‐ (Nervous laugh) ‐ "Dear Buttercup,
ever since I met you, I've had three suns in my ‐‐ "
I'm sorry, but what face am I supposed to make, then?
‐ Who cares? ‐ I dunno.
‐ You're the one who ‐‐ ‐ Doesn't matter how you feel!
I'm the one training here! Just act like you're interested!
It's good to be interested in other people.
Always "me, me, me." Let's start over.
"Dear Buttercup! Ever since I met you,
I've had three suns in my heart.
They shine so brightly that whenever I see you ‐‐ "
Whoa! That's the most beautiful thing anyone's ever said to me!
‐ But I hardly said anything! ‐ I know,
but the way you opened your mouth was so moving!
It was like the skies after the storm! Like a rainbow
‐ sweeping my heart! ‐ You're overdoing it.
‐ You think? ‐ Yes. Really.
"Dear Buttercup. Since I met you, I've had three suns
in my heart. They shine so brightly that when ‐‐ "
‐ Uh... ‐ What is it now?
Well, if you don't mind me saying,
now it sounds like you're mad at me, not in love!
I'm not mad! I'm declaring my love to you, isn't it obvious?
Let's just say it could be more obvious.
Since you're so good at this, show me how it's done!
I'll be you and you be me. Come on!
"Dear Buttercup, ever since I met you,
I've had three suns in my heart. They shine so brightly
that when I see you, they make me melt
until all thought is reduced to droplets. Those suns
are only three little words, but they're burning my lips.
Please soothe me, Buttercup,
and tell me that you love me as much as I love you."
Wait a minute. Do I sound that corny when I'm saying it?
I'm just performing. I'm not here to judge the wording.
Oh, man, this is awful, I'll never be able to do this.
Boy, you sure like to take the hard road.
You put too much pressure on yourself! You can do this.
I know. Let's take a break, just to air our heads out.
‐ Movie? ‐ Movie?
‐ Is there a problem? ‐ I always travel by stick.
I don't have any change.
This one's on me, Cat Noir. You've saved us so many times,
‐ it's the least I can do! ‐ Thanks! I miaowe you one!
You're welcome.
‐ Hey, bro! Go, Cat Noir! Bravo! ‐ Thank you!
‐ What movies are playing? ‐ Little Love Notes.
We're trying to think of something else, so no romance.
Captain Supreme. The Duel?
Could we possibly avoid films about superheroes?
Got it. What about SharkTank vs MechaTiger?
With a title like that, we should be safe.
‐ (Laughter) ‐ Oh!
SharkTank, don't die! I've always loved you!
Me too, MechaTiger! But it's impossible.
‐ We are sworn enemies. ‐ They don't have mouths!
How are they supposed to kiss?
It was written in advance, so everything's planned out.
But in real life, you have no idea how it's gonna go!
Telling someone you love them doesn't mean they'll
‐ love you back. ‐ Tell me about it!
‐ If only life could be so easy. ‐ That's why it's so scary
to say you love someone. Saving the world is easy by comparison.
Well, I suppose it is! I mean, just look at you.
When you save the world with Ladybug, you go ahead,
you don't think about it! A couple of jokes and "Bam!"
Cataclysm, Miraculous Ladybug and everything's back to normal.
‐ Easy as pie. ‐ Yeah.
That's the short version, but it sounds about right.
But saying I love you... If it doesn't work out,
your heart gets cataclysmed!
And no Miraculous Ladybug can repair that.
That's why I never get anywhere with boys.
When things are really important to me, I get so scared
it won't work out that I try to control every possible outcome.
I tell myself stories with wedding dresses and hamsters...
And what people see is not Marinette opening her heart up.
It's Marinette talking about some nonsense she's made up.
I like hamsters, too.
And I'd like to watch the movie in peace and quiet!
(Laughter)
You have an umbrella option in your stick?
Well, yeah, cats don't like water!
It's funny. I'm kind of the opposite of you.
I know Ladybug's not in love with me,
but I can't help telling her how I feel.
I wish I could fall in love with someone else. But I can't.
She's just so incredible!
I'm so afraid I'm not a good person
and that I've gone too far and she hates me.
‐ She doesn't hate you. ‐ She threw me in the trash!
You're a good cat. I'm sure you'll figure out what to do.
It can't be! Ladybug and Cat Noir are made for each other!
I've lost my connection with my ice cream.
I don't understand what it's trying to tell me any more!
Akumatization is like ice cream.
Once you've tasted it, you always come back for more!
Fly away, my evil akuma,
and bring me back two scoops of despair!
Thanks for flying Cat Noir Airways.
We hope you'll be feli‐ing again soon!
(Laughs) Thanks. That was nice!
My pleasure.
‐ Oh, wait! Your training! ‐ Shoot! I forgot about that!
Quick, back into position! You can do it this time!
I just know it!
‐ Dear ‐‐ ‐ Ladybug and Cat Noir
are the ones who should be in love! Not you two!
‐ My ice cream never lies! ‐ Again?
No, no, no! We're not in love! It was just practice!
Stay here!
Glaciator re‐akumatized? That's impossible!
You gave André a magical charm, didn't you?
Oh, no! I was so annoyed with that Couple of the Year thing
that I forgot to give it to him! Tikki! Spots on!
Nice to see you again, my dear friend, whom I respect
and for whom I have no feelings except platonic friendship!
‐ Are you making fun of me? ‐ Not at all, I'm...
just getting my bearings!
Lucky charm!
Oh, yeah! That lucky charm really revs my engine!
OK! Take the wheel! I've got a plan!
There you are! You think you can escape me like that?
♪ I'm Glaciator, the mean ice‐cream man
♪ And I am love's number‐one fan ♪
‐ That's enough! We're friends! ‐ OK! let's go!
‐ Pass me the wheel! ‐ You can't escape
‐ by attaching me to you! ‐ Where are we going? I mean,
not the two of us. Just "Where are we going?"
‐ like, a direction? ‐ I got it! The Gare du Nord!
We'll stay in touch! Cat Noir, now!
You know what to do. I'll be back!
Drive safe!
Ready, Milady! Do you mind me calling you Milady?
No, that's OK. It's not that complicated, you know.
If I say something's annoying, stop doing it. That's all!
No!
Cataclysm!
Oh, no!
No more evil‐doing for you, little akuma!
Time to de‐evilise!
Gotcha!
Bye‐bye, little butterfly!
Miraculous Ladybug!
I forgot to give this to you last time!
Keep it with you. It should protect you in the future.
Thank you, Ladybug.
I knew you could do it!
‐ Pound it! ‐ Pound it!
Oh, I just remembered. I gotta hurry.
I've got something I need to finish!
I'd better hurry too.
This time's the one! You'll see.
"Ever since I met you, I've had three suns in my heart.
They shine so brightly that whenever I see you... "
That was a good start! What's wrong?
What's wrong is that this is not really me.
The first time I saw you, I misjudged you.
I thought you were conceited and superficial.
But then I got to know you. I saw who you really were,
deep down. Someone sweet, sincere and generous.
Since then, there's something I've been wanting to tell you.
But every time I try, it's like my brain suddenly freezes.
But now, I think I'm ready.
I love you.
Your declaration was beautiful.
The boy you're in love with is a lucky guy.
Thanks! The girl who falls in love with you will be lucky too!
‐ Marinette! ‐ My dad.
‐ Marinette! ‐ Coming, Dad!
Hey! What's going ‐‐ ?
‐ Did you do what I told you to? ‐ Uh, kind of. I mean, not yet.
Good! I was worried. 'Cause that's a risky technique!
When you practise, you could fall in love.
Then you might run away to a desert island,
where you might get attacked by plants.
‐ What? ‐ I haven't finished volume 3,
‐ but I think it gets worse! ‐ Hang on.
You've been giving me advice that you got from a manga?
From The Robinsons of the Catastrophe. Why, shouldn't I?
Kagami, Kagami, Kagami.
You need to spend more time with me and the gang.
I thought you'd given up with Ladybug!
Marinette opened my eyes. The thing is,
I'm always doing my Cat Noir act with her.
Maybe if I were my true self with Ladybug,
she'd fall in love with me.
Ugh!
