‪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 have a secret.

‪[school bell rings]
‪Hey, Marc! How's it going? ‪Where's the rest of your class?
‪Oh, hey. We're done with classes. ‪The others probably went home.
‪Perfect timing! Some of us ‪are heading over to the art room.
‪-You should come check it out! ‪-Sure. Why not?
‪Maybe you'll finally ‪let me read your writing!
‪-Yeah. I don't know. Maybe. ‪-Awesome! See you later, then!
‪This is Ladybug and Mightyllustrator, ‪fighting Queen Wasp together!
‪-You mean Evillustrator? ‪-He changed his name
‪after Ladybug de-akumatised him.
‪A bad guy who comes over to the good side. ‪Great idea!
‪-You should make a comic book about that. ‪-But I'm only good at drawing stories,
‪-not writing them. ‪-Then team up with a creative writer.
‪Maybe, but I don't know ‪anyone who's into that.
‪Don't worry. There has to be somebody ‪just waiting to meet you. Red, please!
‪Marc! You made it! Come meet everyone.
‪This is Marc, the boy I told you about. ‪The one who's always writing!
‪Uh... I'm sorry. ‪I didn't want to disturb you.
‪Welcome to room 33. ‪You're never disturbing anyone here!
‪You can come when you want, ‪outside of class time or after school.
‪Everyone can create what they want.
‪Rose is writing lyrics for her rock band.
‪Rose, I'd like you to meet Marc.
‪Hey, there! Nice to meet you, Marc!
‪Alix is our expert in street art.
‪-And Nathaniel... ‪-Likes to draw people in skinny suits.
‪Welcome, Marc. The good thing about this ‪place is you can say whatever you want,
‪no one will judge you, ‪or only in good fun!
‪I saw your drawings on the school website, ‪but the real thing's better!
‪The movement, the expressions, ‪the attitudes. They're all so...
‪-Thanks. That's nice. ‪-Uh...
‪Sorry, but it's true. ‪I've never seen drawings so--
‪So messed up! ‪All he ever draws any more is Ladybug,
‪since she de-akumatised him!
‪As if Ladybug could care less ‪about a guy like him. Ha, ha, ha!
‪I've told you, if you have an art project ‪you want to work on,
‪-you're welcome here. Otherwise... ‪-I've got a project!
‪A masterpiece that'll revolutionise ‪the art world.
‪Nothing you'd have come up with!
‪-Let me guess. Another collage of selfies? ‪-[laughter]
‪What? No! That's ridiculous! ‪Utterly ridiculous!
‪You don't deserve my art anyway!
‪Well, Alix, ‪if Chloé did have an art project,
‪it's too bad we didn't give her a chance ‪to tell us about it, isn't it?
‪Whatever.
‪By the way, ‪you've shown up at the perfect time.
‪Marinette told us you're always writing ‪and Nathaniel needs a scriptwriter!
‪Me? A scriptwriter? ‪I don't write that kind of stuff.
‪I don't write anything interesting. ‪Sorry. Gotta go.
‪-Thanks for everything! ‪-No, Marc!
‪Hey, wait!
‪Marc!
‪"Diary of... Ladybug?"
‪"I saw The Evillustrator again today.
‪Now he's no longer ‪controlled by Hawk Moth,
‪he's become a true superhero, ‪like Cat Noir and me.
‪I'm sure he'd make an awesome partner, ‪but I'm too shy to ask him.
‪I don't want to talk to Cat Noir about it,
‪because I'm worried he'll be jealous!"
‪It's not exactly the truth, ‪but it's definitely a fun read!
‪Do you realise, Marinette? Ladybug ‪has become a source of inspiration.
‪You're a lucky charm ‪for artists everywhere!
‪Marc writes exactly the kind of stories ‪that Nath draws!
‪It's incredible! ‪They're meant to work together!
‪Looking for this?
‪Oh!
‪-Did you read it? ‪-Oh, no!
‪Yeah. Sorry. It was too tempting.
‪Oh, how embarrassing! It's so, so lame!
‪No, it's not! ‪You should turn it into a comic book!
‪-Why don't you team up with Nathaniel? ‪-I'm sure he won't like it.
‪Have him read it ‪before you jump to conclusions!
‪But what if he doesn't like it? ‪I'll be so embarrassed!
‪I'll have to change schools ‪not to run into him!
‪Now you're being silly! ‪Look, he draws Ladybug all the time
‪and you write stories about her! ‪Oh! I've got an idea!
‪We won't tell him who wrote it!
‪If he likes it, it's a win-win. If he ‪doesn't... we just won't say anything!
‪-Do you think it'll work? ‪-Trust me on this.
‪Nath, someone gave me this for you.
‪-Who's "someone?" ‪-I can't tell you. It's a secret!
‪Read it, and then we'll talk!
‪[gasps] "Diary of Ladybug?"
‪Is this... for real?
‪"I call up my Lucky Charm ‪while Cat Noir wields his Cataclysm,
‪and, together, we defeat ‪The Evillustrator! Pound it!
‪But even though we won this fight, ‪something keeps bugging me.
‪I can't stop thinking about him. ‪I know his real identity, so, sometimes,
‪I try to catch a glimpse of him ‪when I fly over his school."
‪-Do you think he likes it? ‪-Look at his face! Of course he does!
‪It's rude to spy on people!
‪No! It's not what you think at all! ‪It's just that... It's going to be...
‪Nathaniel's birthday soon, and Marc and I ‪wanted to give him a disguise.
‪-I mean, surprise! ‪-Cool. Very typical of you, Marinette!
‪-Well, if you need any help, let me know! ‪-Sure won't!
‪Sure will!
‪-Oh... ‪-You're just as shy as I am, aren't you?
‪Just do as I say, not as I do, OK?
‪How's it going?
‪Nath? So? What did you think?
‪It's seriously amazing! ‪But how did you get hold of it?
‪First, are you willing to meet the person ‪who wrote it and entrusted it to me?
‪Is it... who I think it is?
‪I can't tell you anything. ‪Please don't insist!
‪-Sure. Of course! ‪-Awesome!
‪You're gonna make someone very happy!
‪You keep it. You can give it back ‪to the "author" later today, in person.
‪It's my dream come true.
‪-This isn't some kind of prank, is it? ‪-Meet in Place des Vosges. Trust me.
‪You will not be disappointed.
‪-Final phase of Operation Comic Book. ‪-This will better than a fairytale ending!
‪-Ladybug? ‪-Huh?
‪-What? You're not Ladybug! ‪-Course I'm not! It's me... Marc.
‪-Didn't Marinette tell you? ‪-Marinette?
‪Uh, Operation Comic Book has hit a snag!
‪You were trying to make a fool of me!
‪-Think it's funny to toy with my feelings? ‪-No, not at all.
‪I... I just want to make a comic book. ‪If you want to, that is.
‪A comic book? Us? Together? Never!
‪Oh, no!
‪[sobbing]
‪A blooming friendship brutally ripped up. ‪Picture perfect no more...
‪Fly away, my beautiful akuma, ‪and evilise him.
‪Reverser, I am Hawk Moth!
‪You've been accused of pretending to be ‪someone you're not!
‪So, from now on, ‪no one will be who they claim to be!
‪I'm giving you the power to invert anyone.
‪The strong will become weak, ‪the brave will become cowards,
‪and the kind will become mean!
‪In return, you will seize Ladybug ‪and Cat Noir's Miraculous for me!
‪Nothing will be the same any more, ‪Hawk Moth!
‪Marc, what happened?
‪I'm not Marc any more!
‪I am Reverser! And you, Marinette, ‪the one who caused all this,
‪you think you're the helpful girl, ‪loved by everyone?
‪Well, from now on, everyone will hate you! ‪Reversion!
‪Ouch! What's happening to you, ‪my little pigeons?
‪Where are you going? ‪Wait! Come back, please!
‪But I don't get it. ‪I really was trying to help you!
‪Liar! ‪You told Nathaniel I was someone else!
‪Hey, you! What is this thing? ‪Vehicle registration, please!
‪You're all about law and order? ‪Well, we're all done with that! Reversion!
‪[laughs]
‪Do whatever you want with that paper plane ‪of yours! I've got other plans!
‪Marinette!
‪Where did Operation Comic Book go wrong? ‪Let's find out.
‪Tikki, spots on!
‪Yeah!
‪Stop, Reverser! We don't need to fight,
‪so please, make the right choice ‪and give up, Reverser!
‪You talk a lot, Ladybug. But what will ‪you do without your powers? Reversion!
‪You can't stay still, can you? ‪Well, let's go for a ride!
‪As the mayor will talk about ‪his Space Dumpster Program,
‪protesters saying "Space is no Dump" ‪are walking toward City Hall,
‪causing traffic jams in the city.
‪Ha, ha! In the name of the law, ‪do whatever you want!
‪The bank! He robbed the bank!
‪Aaah!
‪I forgot my fencing gloves! ‪Since traffic's so bad,
‪I'll go get them and catch up with you!
‪Plagg, claws out!
‪Be clever, Reverser! ‪A writer must never be short of ideas!
‪You used to be quick on your feet? ‪Now, you've got two left feet! Reversion!
‪-Oops! ‪-Whoo! Sorry! How do I ride a bike? Aaah!
‪Oh, no!
‪Aaah!
‪Thank you, Ladybug!
‪Gotcha!
‪[evil laugh] How do you like ‪your new role, Ladyklutz?
‪Excellent work, Reverser!
‪Now that she's weakened, ‪get hold of her Miraculous. Her earrings!
‪-Your Miraculous are mine! ‪-Awesome costume!
‪-Too bad we'll have to tear it up! ‪-Ugh!
‪-Everything OK, Milady? ‪-So you think you're brave, Cat Noir?
‪-From puss to wuss! Reversion! ‪-Oh, yeah, I'm so scared.
‪-Come on, Milady! Let's wrap this up! ‪-Cat Noir, wait!
‪Milady?
‪-Whoa! ‪-What's up, kitty? Got vertigo?
‪Aaah!
‪Locate them, Reverser! ‪The Miraculous are so close!
‪They are powerless now. ‪We've got all the time in the world.
‪I'll take care of them as soon as ‪I've inverted Marinette and Nathaniel!
‪Fine! But hurry! ‪I want my Miraculous!
‪[evil laugh]
‪Hmm. Alix, your friend is here.
‪-Where are Nathaniel and Marinette? ‪-That's a very creative costume.
‪-Would you like to join our workshop? ‪-All I want is to know where they are!
‪Right now!
‪Even swimming is impossible ‪with this curse!
‪Atchoo! Great! ‪Now I'm sure I'm gonna catch a cold!
‪-How are we gonna defeat him? ‪-What? You want to face him again?
‪I really don't want to fight ‪that bad guy! He looks so mean.
‪We don't have a choice, Cat Noir! ‪Reverser is looking for Nathaniel.
‪We've got to find him before he does. ‪I know where to look!
‪I can't do it! The stairs are too high. ‪It's making me dizzy.
‪[sighs] Come on, little kitty! ‪Here, kitty kitty.
‪That's it. Very good.
‪See? You're gonna be just--
‪Aaah!
‪We're not out of the woods yet.
‪Tell me where Nath and Marinette are!
‪-Can't you see we're busy? ‪-You're the meanest person alive,
‪treating Sabrina like a slave!
‪Reversion!
‪Chloé, I want fresh strawberry juice, ‪but pick out all of the seeds, first!
‪Yes, Sabrina. Coming right up, Sabrina.
‪Ha, ha, ha!
‪-Space is no dump! ‪-Thanks to our "Space Dumpster Program,"
‪all our trash is now stored ‪in orbital dumpsters,
‪making Paris ‪the cleanest city in the world!
‪-Space is no dump! ‪-Boo! Boo!
‪Space is no dump!
‪Paris the "cleanest city?" ‪We'll see about that! Reversion!
‪I'm going to order our satellites ‪to release all the dumpsters
‪back down towards Paris, ‪making our city
‪the biggest trash heap in the world!
‪[evil laugh]
‪Aaah!
‪Whoa! You drive like a maniac!
‪Sorry about that. ‪He's not quite himself right now.
‪Aaah!
‪[groans]
‪I hate art and music! ‪Let's destroy it all!
‪Reverser got here first!
‪Look! The Louvre is in almost ‪every single one of Nathaniel's drawings!
‪Does this mean ‪we'll have to take another cab?
‪You should have given him ‪a chance to explain.
‪What's the point? He wanted to tease me, ‪like everybody else!
‪It can't be because of Marinette.
‪It's not like her ‪to make fun of other people.
‪-You think I jumped the gun a bit? ‪-Nathaniel! We need you!
‪It's an emergency! Ow!
‪[gasps]
‪This is getting tiring.
‪It's been confirmed. 10,000 tons of ‪garbage are about to rain down on Paris.
‪Unless the mayor cancels the process, ‪Paris will be under a mountain of trash!
‪The man behind this chaos, Reverser, ‪has given an ultimatum.
‪Ladybug! Cat Noir!
‪Deliver Nathaniel and Marinette to me ‪right now!
‪I also demand you hand over ‪your Miraculous!
‪We have to try and talk to him. ‪And we'll need you, Nathaniel.
‪-What about Marinette? ‪-No time!
‪Reverser will have to settle ‪for just Nathaniel.
‪-I'm coming with you. ‪-No way! It's too dangerous.
‪Actually, I'll just stay here, too, ‪so I don't get in the way.
‪-Boo! ‪-Aaah!
‪[groans]
‪It looks to me ‪like you're going to need a helping hand.
‪You can never get too much help!
‪Nathaniel is my friend. ‪I'm not dropping him.
‪-You're a public health hazard! ‪-I never even went over 15 miles an hour!
‪That's strange, the stars are out early.
‪Those are not stars! ‪The trash is entering the atmosphere.
‪In a few minutes, ‪it'll be like a meteor shower,
‪-except with dumpsters instead! ‪-[fearful shivering]
‪Don't be scared, Cat Noir. We can do this!
‪You're right. Our powers may be screwed ‪up, but we still make a great team!
‪Lucky charm!
‪A bamboo roll?
‪Reverser! We're over here! ‪I've got a deal for you.
‪I'm gonna hand Cat Noir over to you now!
‪In exchange, you'll get the mayor ‪to order the dumpsters back into space!
‪Then I'll give you my Miraculous ‪and Nathaniel.
‪I'll only reverse the mayor back ‪if I have Cat Noir‪ and‪ Nathaniel!
‪Then I'll reverse him and he'll have no ‪choice but to make a comic book with me!
‪OK!
‪-Milady, I'm too scared! ‪-And I don't want to be reversed!
‪You have to trust me. This is gonna work!
‪Cat Noir and Nathaniel are on their way! ‪Stop the space dumpsters!
‪If you try to trick me, it'll cost you!
‪What trick do you actually think ‪I could pull, Reverser?
‪With the scaredy cat and me, SuperKlutz, ‪we don't stand a chance!
‪What?
‪Go, Cat Noir!
‪Aaah!
‪OK! Got it!
‪Whoa!
‪Stay still, you nasty flea bag!
‪Now turn back... ‪A little to the right, Alix.
‪Yes. Now a bit up...
‪Cat Noir, now!
‪Cataclysm!
‪Aaah!
‪Miraculous Ladybug!
‪-Aaah! ‪-Aaah!
‪All right! Stunt time!
‪Aaah!
‪Hey, Ladybug, you're gonna need this!
‪No more evil-doing for you, little akuma!
‪Time to de-evilise!
‪Gotcha!
‪Bye-bye, little butterfly.
‪Cool! Feels good to be ourselves again!
‪My, my! I guess that space-dumpster thing ‪was a bad idea, after all.
‪Thank you, Ladybug and Cat Noir. ‪You really keep this city clean!
‪Marc and Nathaniel, by now you realise ‪there was a big misunderstanding.
‪But if you give each other a chance, ‪you'll find out
‪how well you can work together.
‪A bit like you and me, Milady!
‪Pound it!
‪Some day soon, Ladybug and Cat Noir,
‪the order of things will reverse, ‪and I will win!
‪"Next, they team up with Mightyllustrator ‪and de-akumatise Reverser.
‪-Then he joins the team." ‪-Wow! Great job, boys!
‪Ha, ha! Thanks.
‪-This wouldn't have happened without you. ‪-I'm so relieved you're not mad at me.
‪In fact, ‪we've dedicated our first issue to you!
‪To Marinette, ‪who would make a super superhero!
‪[both] If she wasn't such a klutz!
‪[laughter]
