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.

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.
