‎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]
