‎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.
‎♪ Miraculous! Simply the best! ♪
‎♪ Up to the test when things go wrong! ♪
‎♪ Miraculous! The luckiest! ♪
‎♪ The power of love, always so strong! ♪
‎♪ Miraculous! ♪
‎Marinette! ‎This is quite a special day for you.
‎Yes, Tikki, it sure is!
‎Hmm. Still no call.
‎There's a ritual ‎we kwamis perform on a day like this.
‎Oh! Really? That's nice!
‎But I don't know ‎if you humans would like it.
‎I wonder if you guys even give each other ‎presents on your birthday.
‎Oh! Really, Tikki? ‎You got me a birthday present?
‎-A kwami specialty. ‎-Oh, that's so awesome! What it is?
‎[sings]
‎Miraculous birthday, Marinette!
‎Ugh!
‎-Oh, no! You don't like it, do you? ‎-Yes, yes! I love it!
‎It's amazing, it's... What is it?
‎A kwagatama! A great symbol of friendship ‎among us kwamis!
‎We take a hair from our Miraculous holder,
‎and join it to the hairs ‎of all former Miraculous holders
‎and, with them, we grow a magic resin ‎for a few months and...
‎I know you don't want to tell me ‎not to hurt my feelings,
‎but it's obvious you don't like it.
‎I'm sorry, Tikki! I really love your gift! ‎It's just that...
‎Alya should have called me by now!
‎We're supposed to be taking her little ‎sisters to the dentist at four o'clock!
‎Do you humans always celebrate ‎your birthday by going to the dentist?
‎No, of course not, Tikki! ‎It's a secret code!
‎They're throwing me ‎a surprise birthday party!
‎But how can it be a surprise, ‎if you know about it?
‎You know about the surprise, ‎but you pretend you don't,
‎so you won't spoil it ‎for those organising it!
‎-What about the dentist? ‎-It's a fake-out!
‎See, Alya's gonna pretend ‎to take me to the dentist's,
‎but she'll‎ really‎ be taking me ‎to my surprise party!
‎But what if you're wrong?
‎Impossible! ‎All the signs are there, Tikki!
‎Juleka jumped when I caught her ‎holding a bicycle pump!
‎-Perhaps Juleka has a bicycle? ‎-No, Tikki!
‎Obviously, she was planning ‎to use the pump to blow up balloons!
‎A surprise birthday party always ‎has balloons!
‎Also, yesterday, I caught Nino ‎listening to‎ my‎ favourite song!
‎Perhaps it's his favourite song too?
‎Are you kidding? He hates it! He has ‎no reason to listen to it unless...
‎he's making a playlist ‎for my surprise party! Elementary!
‎OK. If you don't believe me, why was Alya ‎having a secret convo with Adrien, huh?
‎Yes, Alya, I know a very good dentist ‎and here's his number!
‎Which means he's going to be there!
‎Or it means Alya is taking her sisters ‎to see Adrien's dentist!
‎Ugh! Fine. You know what? ‎There's one no-fail way to find out
‎if there's a surprise party in the making!
‎Watch their faces.
‎Mom! Dad! Do you know anything about ‎Alya planning a party for my birthday?
‎Uh...
‎Oh! Party? Uh... what party?
‎Uh, which Alya again?
‎You're overdoing it. ‎We're talking about her best friend!
‎Alya! Of course! Alya! ‎We haven't seen her in years!
‎[nervous laugh]
‎[groans]
‎See? Parents always know ‎when there's a surprise party!
‎[door bell rings]
‎And now, on the other side of this door, ‎check out who's coming to get me,
‎just in time for the party. It's...
‎Grandma?
‎-Mom? ‎-Gina?
‎Marinetta! You're so tall for your age! ‎Did you get my letter from Patagonia?
‎Yes. And the ones from Australia, ‎Bali and Estonia, too!
‎-Did you really get chased by a bear? ‎-Ha, ha, ha!
‎Yes, but we wound up ‎good friends in the end!
‎-Mom, it's her birthday, remember? ‎-Why do you think I'm here?
‎Happy birthday, my fairy!
‎My Inuit friend knitted it ‎especially for your tenth birthday!
‎-Uh... She's 14. ‎-My! How time flies!
‎That's OK. I'll ask my friends ‎to make another one.
‎No, no, it's... awesome! I can make this ‎work. It's perfect, Grandma. Thank you!
‎Ah! Your nonna has also brought you ‎your favourite candy!
‎Oh! [nervous laugh]
‎-You still love them, right? ‎-Yes, yes, of course!
‎And that's not all, my fairy! ‎We'll have a wonderful day, you and I,
‎just like the last time! ‎We'll go to the merry-go-round,
‎-then to the zoo, then... ‎-Uh... Mom? Can I have a word, Mom?
‎-Just the two of us? ‎-What, Tom?
‎That I don't know Marinetta ‎any more 'cause I'm always away?
‎No, Mom, it's just...
‎You think she doesn't want to spend time ‎with her nonna, is that it?
‎No! Of course ‎I want to spend time with you!
‎-Besides, it's not four o'clock yet! ‎-There. You see?
‎Come on, let's go, Marinetta! ‎We're going to have a ball!
‎It's four o'clock. Maybe you were right.
‎I jumped to conclusions ‎and there really is no surprise party.
‎Why don't you tell your grandmother ‎you don't like this candy?
‎Not to hurt her feelings. ‎We don't see each other often.
‎-[phone rings] ‎-Aaah! Alya!
‎Sorry, I'm running late. ‎Can you meet me at the park?
‎We'll jam straight from there ‎to the... uh... dentist!
‎Yes... yes, awesome! "To the dentist". ‎Totally! I'll be right there!
‎Oh! I'm so sorry, Grandma. ‎I have to go to the dentist with Alya.
‎Surely you're not going to the dentist ‎on your birthday?
‎I still have to take you to see ‎the trains at the station!
‎Well, it's because Alya ‎has sisters who are twins and
‎as there are two of them, ‎Alya needs my help and...
‎Wait. What am I saying? ‎That's all a fake out!
‎You know what I think? Alya might ‎be throwing me a surprise birthday party.
‎I get it, my fairy! Don't worry about me. ‎Run along, now, and go meet your friend!
‎-Are you sure? ‎-Go on. I'll hold on to all this.
‎-We'll catch up later. ‎-Thank you!
‎You really‎ are ‎the best grandma in the world!
‎Tom! That's the motorcycle. They're ‎coming back! Marinette can't see the cake!
‎-Uh... Where's Marinette? ‎-Tom was right.
‎She's too old now ‎to spend time with her nonna.
‎What? No, no, Tom never said that!
‎That's sweet of you, Sabine, ‎but it's not a big deal. That's life!
‎I'll be up in the apartment ‎if you need me.
‎You should go and speak to your mother. ‎She's... Oh, no!
‎I know! ‎And it's almost time for the party!
‎OK. I'll help you. We can manage! ‎And we'll take Gina to the party with us.
‎What could be more powerful than ‎a grandmother who has been deserted?
‎Perfect fodder for disappointment ‎and misunderstanding.
‎Fly away, my little akuma, ‎and evilise her ailing heart!
‎Befana, I am Hawk Moth.
‎I'm restoring ‎your matriarchal power as grandmother!
‎You will use these candies to reward ‎the deserving and punish the ungrateful!
‎As for my reward, ‎you will bring me the Miraculous
‎of those pesky little kids, ‎Ladybug and Cat Noir!
‎You're right, Hawk Moth. The time ‎has come to teach them all a lesson!
‎-Ta-dah! ‎-Ah!
‎Good job, partner! We better get going! ‎The party awaits us!
‎Oh, wait! We've got to tell Mom.
‎Naughty son! ‎Don't tell your mamma what to do!
‎Mom?
‎[evil laugh]
‎Do you know what naughty boys is get?
‎Coal!
‎You have nothing to fear, my fairy. ‎You've always been good to me.
‎So now, tell me. Marinette ‎isn't at the dentist, is she?
‎-No, Mistress. ‎-Then take me to her.
‎Happy Birthday, Marinette!
‎Open it, Marinette!
‎♪ La Befana comes at night ‎on her shaky broom in flight ♪
‎♪ She gives out candy ‎to those who are dandy ♪
‎-Grandma? ‎-You lied to your grandma, Marinetta.
‎No, I... I didn't know Alya ‎was throwing a surprise party for me.
‎-She's for real, ma'am. ‎-And all those candies
‎you pretended to be eating?
‎I'm sorry, Grandma. It's just that ‎I didn't want to upset you.
‎I'm not your grandma any more. ‎From now on, I am only Befana
‎and I'm going to punish you ‎for all those lies!
‎No!
‎We didn't even get in on the buffet!
‎The party's over, my friend! ‎Plagg... claws out!
‎It's rude to leave ‎while Befana's still speaking to you!
‎Hey! I never knew ‎grandmas could be so nasty!
‎You'll look wonderful in white, ‎my pretty kitty!
‎Not convinced. I'm much more into black. ‎Makes my eyes stand out, don't you think?
‎Take care of this pesky pussycat!
‎Hey! I thought fairies ‎were supposed to be nice!
‎You're not getting away unpunished, ‎Marinetta!
‎You don't deserve all these presents, ‎you spoiled brat!
‎Now for what you really deserve...
‎Don't worry. ‎You'll get what's coming to you!
‎This isn't how I envisioned ‎my birthday party!
‎You need to transform!
‎-Do you lie only to me? ‎-Cat Noir!
‎Stay put. I'll be right there!
‎Uh... Soon!
‎Or do you also lie to your parents, ‎and your friends, too?
‎-We gotta help Marinette! ‎-Yeah.
‎The time has come to teach you a lesson!
‎-Marinette is not a liar! ‎-Someone has to teach you table manners.
‎Alya!
‎No, Kim!
‎That's what you get for stealing candy, ‎you bunch of ill-mannered kids!
‎Don't touch Marinette! She's only ‎the nicest person in the world!
‎Hmm. It's very disrespectful ‎to speak up without permission.
‎But it's quite noble of you ‎to stick up for your friends.
‎OK, I shall make you... a fairy!
‎You are going to help me ‎discipline your friend! Ha, ha, ha!
‎Tikki...
‎Sorry I kept you waiting. ‎We need to find you a better hiding place.
‎Marinetta's getting away with the kitty! ‎Catch them!
‎Marinette is cool, so don't touch her!
‎-We won't let you hurt Marinette! ‎-Is that how you speak to your elders?
‎How rude!
‎Maybe this way, ‎you'll learn to keep quiet.
‎You must be real cool if all your friends ‎are protecting you like that!
‎-Why's your grandma flipping out? ‎-She wanted me around more.
‎Don't worry. ‎I'll get your real grandma back.
‎Oh, I almost forgot. ‎Happy Birthday, anyway.
‎Thank you, Cat Noir.
‎It's time to save my nonna! ‎Tikki! Spots on!
‎Ha!

‎You didn't say the magic word.
‎Ahem.
‎-Please. ‎-Much better, Hawk Moth!
‎You little thief! ‎Where have you hidden Marinetta?
‎I forgetta!
‎Watch out or you'll get a time-out!
‎Take care of these two villains!
‎What does the villainous cat burglar ‎do when he feels threatened?
‎He climbs!
‎-We can't let her get to the Eiffel Tower! ‎-And why not?
‎Because that's where I hid ‎her granddaughter!
‎Wait. No! She's...
‎Where are you, Marinetta? ‎Befana has a special treat for you!
‎Can I hitch a ride? Your granddaughter ‎isn't here. Let me show you the way.
‎Pets are not allowed on board.
‎Aaah!
‎What a sweet little ladybug you are! ‎You'd make a perfect fairy!
‎-Thanks, but no thanks! ‎-You can't turn down a gift,
‎you rude little imp!
‎You take care of the kitty, my fairies, ‎while I punish this polka-dot brat!
‎[evil laugh]
‎Cat Noir, I saw Befana dodging her own ‎candies. Even she can't touch them!
‎The candy bag! The akuma must be in there.
‎Of course!
‎Lucky charm!
‎-You didn't tell me you played the tuba! ‎-I don't! But I'll have to learn!
‎Aaah!
‎You've been very naughty. I'm going to ‎have to take your toys away from you!
‎OK, you win, Befana.
‎I did lie. I'm sorry. ‎Your granddaughter is here.
‎Never too late to tell the truth, right?
‎-I don't believe you! ‎-I'll take you to her myself.
‎Keep an eye on the ladybug!
‎Sorry, guys, ‎I've got to put you all in time-out.
‎-Phew! ‎-What is the meaning of this?
‎-She isn't here! ‎-I guess I'm a compulsive liar.
‎There you are! Nice try, Marinetta! ‎But she won't get away that easily!
‎[evil laugh]
‎Don't worry, Cat Noir. Marinette is safe.
‎I'm waiting for you, Marinetta!
‎What?
‎Cat Noir, the fire hydrant!
‎My pleasure! Cataclysm!
‎No!
‎[giggles]
‎No more evil-doing for you, little akuma!
‎Time to de-evilise!
‎Gotcha!
‎Bye, little butterfly!
‎Miraculous Ladybug!
‎Pound it!
‎Ladybug, Cat Noir, ‎you've escaped punishment yet again!
‎I won't sugar-coat the truth.
‎The next time, I‎ will‎ destroy you ‎and have your Miraculous!
‎So, how about you, André?
‎Do you have anyone in particular ‎to share your ice cream with?
‎Well, actually, I have yet to find ‎the perfect blend of flavours.
‎-Grandma! ‎-My sweetie!
‎What did you do with that T-shirt?
‎I fixed it up. I've been sewing ‎since the last time you came to visit.
‎You're so grown up, Marinette.
‎You know what? There'll be ‎no more merry-go-rounds or zoos.
‎For your next birthday, ‎I'll take you on one of my trips!
‎Thank you, Grandma! But, you know, ‎it doesn't matter where you take me.
‎With you, it's always unforgettable!
‎♪ Happy Birthday to you ♪
‎♪ Happy Birthday, dear Marinette, ‎Happy Birthday to you ♪
‎Brava!
‎You never got a chance to open it, ‎with all that was going on!
‎Oh!
‎I always carry the lucky charm ‎you gave me, and it works pretty well.
‎So, I figured it was my turn ‎to make one for you.
‎You're so wonderful. ‎Oh! It's wonderful! What a charm!
‎Uh... the charm! ‎I mean, I'll wear the charm!
‎With luck... uh... ‎Basically, uh... Thank you?
‎Aw!
‎Do you realise? He made it specially ‎for me... with his own hands... Adrien!
‎Yeah, well, it's kind of a weird gift, ‎if you ask me.
‎No weirder than yours, Tikki!
‎But that doesn't mean ‎they're not both precious to me.
‎-So, you really did like the gift, then? ‎-Of course I did!
‎The most important thing about a present, ‎Tikki, is the person who's giving it.
