Lily really enjoyed have Tikki and Trixx stay with her. She luckily brought her doll house with her, and it had enough room for Tikki and Trixx to sleep in. She helped the two of them decorate their rooms. Tikki had a Ladybug themed room while Trixx's room was fox themed. The two Kwamis were very happy with their rooms. However, the doll house still had a lot of empty rooms. Trixx had asked why they were empty. Lily said that it was for possibly future Kwamis. That made them excited.
Place des Vosges
Right now, Lily was heading to the park. She wanted to do some derby hat designs for the day. She soon spotted a bench near the fountain, took out her sketchbook and started drawing some derby hat designs. Tikki and Trixx were hiding in her hair, watching her draw.
"They look amazing, Lily." Tikki complimented.
"Yeah, maybe Adrien will wear it when you might win the contest." Trixx added.
"Maybe. But it's up to his father to judge." Lily stated.
"Right." Tikki and Trixx agreed.
"Lily?"
Lily looked up and saw Adrien standing in front of her. Tikki and Trixx quickly hid further into her hair.
"Hey Adrien." Lily greeted.
"Hey Lily, what are you doing here?" Adrien asked.
"Doing some drawing. I like to come to the park for inspiration. Didn't think that you would be here, Adrien." Lily replied.
Lily knew that he would be here. She didn't mind watching him do some modeling. However, she also knew that Marinette would look like a complete idiot trying to get Adrien's attention.
"Well, it's a photoshoot I'm doing. I-I mean that I'm doing a photoshoot." Adrien stuttered.
"I can easily see that, Adrien." Lily stated, smiling.
Adrien chuckled sheepishly as he sat down next to her, "So what are you doing?"
Lily showed him her derby hat drawings.
{A/N: Ignore the text in the picture}
"Wow, these are amazing, Lily." Adrien complimented her, skimming the pages.
"Thank you, Adrien. That means a lot coming from you." Lily smiled.
Adrien smiled as his cheeks turned red.
"What is she doing here?!" Marinette growled when she spotted Lily and Adrien talking on the bench.
"She has a sketchbook with her, so she must be doing some drawing?" Alya suggested.
"Why did she have to do it in this park of all places?" Marinette frowns at Lily.
"It's a public park, Marinette. Anyone is allowed to come here." Alya pointed out.
"She probably knew that Adrien would be here!" Marinette accused.
"Maybe, maybe not." Alya shrugged.
"Well, I better get back to the shoot." Adrien said as he hands her back her sketchbook.
"Yeah, you don't want to get on that photographer's bad side." Lily teased.
Adrien chuckled at that and went back to the shoot while Lily went back to drawing. Neither of them had noticed the photographer, Vincent, snapping a few shots of the two teenagers when they were talking. Though he had been Adrien's photographer for many years, it was rare that he managed to capture such a genuine smile on the face of the blonde boy, and the girl next to him looked as though she had stepped out of the pages of a fashion magazine anyway, so they looked like the ideal pair.
Lily was still drawing when she spotted Marinette who took long and awkward strides with Alya and Manon behind her, watching as Vincent was still taking pictures of Adrien.
"Magnifico! Super! Come on now, I want to see hunger in your eyes!" Vincent took multiple pictures of the blonde in different positions.
"Remember, cool! Just be cool..." Marinette reminded Alya and Manon.
It was clear that Marinette was trying far too hard to be subtle and was instead making herself stand out more than anyone would have thought possible.
"Um, we couldn't be more invisible." Alya pointed out.
"Okay, let's start over." Marinette said, starting to shove them back over.
"What are you guys doing?" Lily asked, making Marinette stop and freeze. Adrien turns to them.
Marinette rubs the back of her head, giving him a wide smile. Adrien tilted his head, giving her a strange look, but politely waved at her and turned back to Vincent to continue his photoshoot.
Marinette gasped and harshly elbowed Alya. "Did you see that?! He waved at me!" She giggles with a big grin and waves at Adrien, even though his back is turned.
"Yeah," Alya rolls her eyes. "I saw it too. Pretty normal, since we're in the same class." She watched as Marinette giggled giddily and continued waving at Adrien before she slapped the girl's hand down, but she still had that freaky grin on her face.
"She's so weird." Trixx whispered.
"That's one word to describe her." Tikki agreed.
"Good thing that she's not your holder." Trixx commented.
"Yeah, I wouldn't be able tolerate her behavior for that long." Tikki added.
"Bravo! That's it! Give me the smile when your mom brings in spaghetti! Okay! And now, Oh no! Mama dropped the spaghetti! And now, you have to eat the spaghetti off the floor! Oh yes, you're angry! Show me angry, yes, yes, yes!" Vincent instructed as Adrien posed.
Meanwhile, Marinette, Alya, and Manon were now standing on the sidelines watching Adrien's photoshoot. Alya was trying (and failing) to keep Marinette's mouth closed, as she gawked at Adrien.
Adrien glanced at Marinette, only to almost recoil. She had a wide mouth-closed smile, and her pupils were tiny, giving her a crazed look. Disturbed, Adrien gave her an uncomfortable gaze. Marinette, seeing he was looking at her, gave him what she thought was a cute smile, but in the Agreste boy's eyes, she just looked completely deranged. He quickly turned his view away from her back to Vincent, much to Marinette's disappointment.
"She looks creepy when she smiles at him." Tikki commented, grimaced.
"Demented is a better word." Trixx retorted, grimaced.
"Agreed. To me, she always been deranged." Lily agreed.
"Marinette, I want a balloon with Mireille on it! Can I? Can I!? ...Marinette? MARINETTE!!!" Manon yelled out, taking Marinette out of her lovestruck daze.
"Ngh! Silenzio!" Vincent yelled at the girls, annoyed.
Lily also looked briefly annoyed.
"Come on!" Manon insisted, tugging on Marinette's arm.
"Come on, small fry!" Alya went to Manon's side. "I'll get you that balloon!"
Manon clung to Marinette's leg. "No! I wanna go with Marinette!"
Marinette looks to see Placide I.T. and Vincent glaring at her, but what made her heart ache was that Adrien was giving her a weird look. Having no choice, she sighed in defeat.
"I'll deal with it. I am her babysitter." Marinette hobbled away with Manon still clinging to her leg.
"But what about Adrien?" Alya asked.
Marinette glanced at Adrien who wasn't looking at her and then headed off to get Manon her balloon.
As Adrien's photoshoot continues, his photographer sees him getting tired.
"No, no, no! The boy has eaten too much spaghetti! Ugh, we need more energy! More romance! We need..." Then he spots Lily, who was still sitting on the bench while drawing, "A girl!"
Adrien also turns to where Vincent was looking, "Oh that's Lily Rossi, my-"
"Girlfriend?" Vincent was quick to assume. "Wow, you really snagged yourself a beautiful one."
"N-No," Adrien's cheeks exploded with a red blush. "She's my childhood friend."
"Really? Well, this is perfect! She's got the beauty of a pink lily! She'll be an extra to pose with you!" Vincent told Adrien.
"Wait, hold on!" The emerald-eyed boy tried to stop him, but he had already run over to Lily. He let out a sigh of defeat.
"Excuse me, miss?" Vincent asked.
Lily stopped drawing and looked up at Vincent, "Yes, sir?" She asked.
"I need you to pose with Adrien Agreste!" Vincent pleaded.
Lily pointed to herself in confusion, "Me? Are you sure?" She questioned.
"SÌ, SÌ! Your hazel green eyes are like jewels! And your long hair is gorgeous! Besides, you're Adrien's friend, are you not?" Vincent asked.
"Well, yes, I am. And... I'm flattered by your praises, but are you sure about this? I've only modeled for my mom a few times." Lily informed.
"Really? Who's your mom?" Vincent questioned.
"Amy Rossi." Lily answered.
"Really?! Then that makes you more perfect to model with Adrien!" Vincent beamed.
Lily let out a sigh and smiled. She had a feeling that Vincent won't let her refuse. So she put her pencil and sketchbook back in her bag. Then she stood up with her bag on her shoulder.
"Okay, I'll do it." Lily decided.
"Alright then, follow me." Vincent said and led her over to Adrien.
Alya got up and quickly tossed her apple before darted off towards Marinette, who was at the carousel with Manon. "Marinette!! Lily is about to go model with Adrien!"
"What?!" Marinette's eyes widened. She panicked further at seeing Lily standing next to Adrien with Vincent. "No! I can't let this happen!"
"Actually, I think it's too late." Alya pointed out.
Marinette groaned at that statement.
They had taken pictures of Adrien giving Lily a rose and her looking fondly at it, Lily seemingly giving him a surprise hug from the back, and Lily giving Adrien a small peck on his cheek and him flushing. Then he hugged her from behind and nuzzled her hair which caused her to laugh.
It was actually pretty fun until they heard a scream which came from the direction of the Carousel and Lily and Adrien looked up, following the gazes of everyone standing around the park. Lily frowned when she saw a girl in purple clothing floating in midair with an umbrella in hand. She knew that it was Stormy Weather. Stormy did not hesitate as she summoned a strong wind blowing from the end of the umbrella, throwing back anyone close to the Carousel and enclosing those inside in a casing of ice.
Lily urgently shouted, "You all need to run!" to Adrien and co. before booking it to a secluded corner where no one could see her.
"Lily!" Adrien yelled out in worry.
Once Lily was sure no one would see her, she unzipped her bag and out came Tikki, "Let's defrost this ice queen!"
Lily's earrings had turned from black to red. She flipped her hair back to show more of her ears, "Tikki, Spots On!"
{A/N: Remember; her hair is in a ponytail. She also has red highlights at the end of her ponytail and bangs.}
Stormy Weather leaves the park while firing a lighting into the air as two civilians rush away from her out of the park.
"Hey Ice Queen."
Stormy Weather looks up at Cat Noir, who is on the fence.
"What's with all the terrorizing? Why don't you pick on someone your own temperature?" Cat Noir taunted.
"My name is not Ice Queen! It's Stormy Weather!" Stormy Weather angrily corrected him.
Cat Noir slid down the fence while twirling his tail in style. "Listen."
"I'm feline more generous than usual today. So cool it down and we'll call it quits, 'kay?"
Stormy Weather deadpans. She aims her parasol at the superhero and fires a gust of wind at Cat Noir.
He was then sent flying high in the sky into a nearby street.
"Waaaaaahhh!" He was about to fall until a yo-yo was wrapped around his waist and brought him into Lady Scarlet's arms.
"Well look at this, it seems you were the damsel in distress, kitty." She teased as she sets him down.
"Why thanks, my lovely lady, but I had it covered." Cat Noir said and tried to kiss her hand. Scarlet retracted her hand from his before he could and pushed his face back with her finger.
"Keep those claws of yours to yourself, alley cat. Now's not the time to charm me." Scarlet warned, teasingly, with her hands on her hips, "But you're welcome."
"We should be expecting lightning storms like right NOW!" Stormy Weather uses her parasol to darken the sky with storm clouds and create lightning making Lady Scarlet and Cat Noir scream and groan.
Lady Scarlet and Cat Noir roll over on top of each other, both blinks twice before Cat Noir smiled sheepishly at her, flushing. Scarlet gave a small smirk back, before using her hand to tilt his head towards Stormy Weather. Cat Noir took the hint and the two got off of each other.
"You just won yourself a catfight!" Cat Noir taunted.
"Black Ice!" Stormy said shooting the ground as it got covered in ice and became slippery as Cat started slipping as well. She then launched a powerful wind that pushed him back along with cars and then it hit Scarlet and blew them away. Quickly, Scarlet wrapped her yo-yo around a streetlight, she grabbed Cat's tail. The wind stopped and the two all fell to the ground. Scarlet got up and helped Cat up, once again. They watched Stormy knock all of the cars over and their sirens go off.
"A little Cat Noir will take the wind out of her sails." Cat said, cracking his knuckles and was about to run until Scarlet quickly grabbed his shoulder.
"Whoa, kitty cat, you should think before you leap. You don't want to lose all of your nine lives, do you?" Scarlet teased before she let go of his shoulder, "Also, I would like to avoid getting blasted again."
"Alright. You got a plan?" Cat asked.
"Rushing her obviously won't work. We'll have to follow her instead." Lady Scarlet decided, "She must be Aurore. Aurore was competing against Mireille to be the next weather girl today for KIDZ+ and Aurore had lost to Mireille. That's how she got Akumatized." She began running down the street with Cat Noir.
"Well, that explains the chilly powers. But where are we going to find her?" Cat Noir questioned.
Before anyone else could respond to that, they saw Stormy Weather's face appeared on a cracked television screen.
"Hello, viewers!" Stormy Weather greeted, stopping the heroes in their tracks to look at her. "Here's the latest forecast for the first day of summer. Looks like Mother Nature had a change of plans. Summer vacation is officially over!"
"Already?" Cat Noir put his hands on his hips. "But I look so good in a swimsuit." He said as it started snowing.
Lady Scarlet smirked as she eyes Cat Noir, who just smiles and wiggles his eyebrows and nose at her.
"The cat suit will do, kitty. At least we know her where to find her." Scarlet said.
TVi Studio
The Miraculous duo made their way to the doors of the recording studio.
"In Stormy Weather's world, it's Winter Wonderland FOREVER!" Stormy Weather announced just as Lady Scarlet and Cat Noir kicked the doors open.
The duo only saw a recording of Stormy Weather on a small television.
"A recording?! You've got to be kidding me!" Lady Scarlet scowled.
The Miraculous duo heard a cackling behind them and turned to see Stormy Weather at the doorway. She fires a lightning bolt at the stage lights above. Suddenly, the lights went out, alongside the rest of the lights in the building. Lady Scarlet and Cat Noir narrowly jumped out of the way just as the lights crashed down. Suddenly, the lights went out, alongside the rest of the lights in the building.
Hawk Moth's Lair
"This is all going wonderfully according to plan. Soon, their Miraculous will be mine. Bring them to me!"
TVi Studio
Stormy Weather giggles, alarming Cat Noir that she was near. He then looked at the villain that was in front of him; Stormy Weather then closed the red door on them.
"Frosty the Snowgirl's getting away!" Cat Noir turns his attention to Lady Scarlet, who trips over the broken light. "Did I hear a damsel in distress?" He teased her.
Lady Scarlet pouts. "Not funny, Cat Noi-" She yelped as Cat Noir grabbed her wrist and began running after Stormy Weather.
"No need to bug out. Just trust me." Cat Noir assured her.
The cat hero leads his partner out of the room and spots Stormy Weather, who enters through a doorway.
The heroes followed her up a stairway.
"Duck!" Cat Noir warns as Stormy Weather launches a fire extinguisher canister at Lady Scarlet.
The bug heroine ducked out of the way, just as the canister hits the floor. "I'm so grateful I wasn't hit in the head." She said as Cat Noir led her upstairs.
The cat hero kicked open the door before running outside with his partner. They looked up to see Stormy Weather cackling.
"You airheads! You fell right into my trap!" Stormy Weather makes a tornado around the building with her parasol.
A pink butterfly outline appears on the villain's face.
"The time is now! Bring me the Miraculous!"
"There's no way out! Party's over, fools!" Stormy Weather declares, smirking.
"We're just-" Lady Scarlet paused when she sees Cat Noir holding her hand. "You mind, kitty?"
Cat Noir quickly released his grip, rubbing the back of his head bashfully.
"We're just getting started, Stormy!" Lady Scarlet smirks. "Lucky Charm!" She acquires a bath towel.
"A bath towel?" Lady Scarlet raised an eyebrow, confused. "What am I supposed to do with this?"
"Great. So we're about to be obliterated, but... At least we'll be dry." Cat Noir commented, sarcastically.
"Hold your whiskers, kitty. Just give me some time." Lady Scarlet said, wrapping the towel around her arm.
"Hail!" Stormy Weather raised her parasol in the sky, and it began to hail.
Cat Noir pulled Lady Scarlet close to him and takes out his staff, spinning it to make a shield to protect Lady Scarlet and him.
"So, what's the plan for getting the Akuma back? My arm's starting to get cramp!" Cat Noir groaned.
"Already?" Lady Scarlet smirks and looked around, using her lucky vision. She spotted 2 HVAC tube, the bath towel and a sign. "See that sign over there?" She asked Cat Noir as she pointed at the billboard. "Why don't you go check it out for me, kitty?"
"All right. Cataclysm!" Cat Noir activates his power just as the hail stop. "Hey, Coldilocks! Is that all you have?"
Stormy Weather closes her parasol as Chat Noir runs at her. She began to shoot lighting blasts at him, but he easily dodged them.
"The cat got some moves!" Lady Scarlet smiles.
Meanwhile, Cat Noir used his Cataclysm on the billboard, rusting the metal bars supporting it and destroying them. The billboard started falling right towards Stormy Weather, causing her to gasp.
Lady Scarlet throws her yo-yo at Stormy Weather and wrapped it around her ankle as she blasted a hole through the billboard with lighting and flew through it. The tip of the billboard breaks off a tube and revealed a ventilation fan.
Lady Scarlet takes off running under pipes and boosting herself against a crane to jump over the fan. Opening the towel, the bug heroine soars in the air, pulling down a screaming Stormy Weather. The speed at which she falls, and the angle of the crane causes her to lose grip of her parasol.
Cat Noir grabs the parasol and throws it towards his partner, who catches it after landing on the ground. She then breaks the parasol, releasing the Akuma.
"Get back here, you filthy, Akuma." Lady Scarlet spins her yo-yo. "Time to de-evilize!" She captures the Akuma. "Gotcha!" She releases the purified butterfly. "Bye-bye, little butterfly. Miraculous Scarlet!" She throws the bath towel into the air.
It turns into a burst of energy and restores everything back to normal.
Stormy Weather reverts back into Aurore. "Uh, what am I doing up here?" She asked, confused.
"Pound it!" The Miraculous duo fist bumped.
Hawk Moth's Lair
"Someday, your Miraculous will be all mine. I don't care how many enemies I need to throw out to win, but I will be victorious!" Hawk Moth declared as his window closed.
TVi Studio Rooftop
Lady Scarlet and Cat Noir walked up to Aurore. Lady Scarlet held her hand out to Aurore.
"Lady Scarlet? Cat Noir?" Aurore took Lady Scarlet's hand, allowing her to help her up. "What happened?" She gasped. "Oh no, was I...?"
"Unfortunately, you were. But Cat Noir and I helped you." Lady Scarlet informed.
Aurore frowns sadly. "I... I lost the competition to Mireille. I wanted to be the weather girl so bad. It was my dream!"
"Hmmm," Lady Scarlet taps her chin, then comes up with an idea. "Maybe you and Mireille can both be weather girls. You'll be like co-anchors!"
Aurore gasped. "Really?"
"Of course! Does that sound good?" Lady Scarlet probed.
"Yes, yes it does!" Aurore grins, then becomes confused. "But... how are we gonna do it?"
"Why don't we head down to the studio and do a little live recording?" Scarlet smirks. Just then her earrings beeped. She was down to three spots. "But we'd better do it fast though." Then she turned to Cat Noir, "Kitty, could you help us?"
Cat Noir smiled, "Sure thing."
Streets Of Paris
The screens turned on the Parisians stopped to see Aurore, Lady Scarlet and Cat Noir on-screen.
"Hello Parisians! Today, this girl Aurore Beauréal lost the KIDZ+ competition, but no worries! If you guys give her support, then maybe Alec will make a Weather girl too! She and Mireille Caquet could both anchor!" Lady Scarlet wrapped an arm Aurore's shoulder.
"Doesn't it just sound amazing having two charming girls broadcast the weather?" Cat Noir asked, placing his hand on Aurore's other shoulder.
Aurore smiled and waved briefly.
The Parisians started cheering.
"Aurore! Aurore! Aurore!" They chanted.
Recording Studio
"That should do the trick." Lady Scarlet smiled as Cat Noir turned off the camera.
Just then Aurore's phone started ringing.
"It's Alec," Aurore told Lady Scarlet before answering the call and putting her phone to her ear. "Hello?" Her eyes widened at what Alec had just told her. "What? ...O-Of course! Tomorrow it is! Bye!" She hung up and squealed.
"What'd he say?" Lady Scarlet asked.
"He said that thanks to the civilians supporting me so much, he's nominating me as Mireille's co-pilot for the weather! And he wants me to start tomorrow with her!"
"That's great!" Lady Scarlet and Cat Noir grins.
Aurore squeals again and wraps the bug heroine and Cat hero in a tight hug, surprising them. "Thank you, Lady Scarlet, Cat Noir! Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
"No problem." Lady Scarlet replied, still surprised as Aurore ran out of the studio happily.
"You made her very happy, M'lady." Cat Noir complimented, crossing his arms in front of his chest.
"Yeah, I'm just glad that we were able to help her achieve her dream." Lady Scarlet smiled.
Her earrings and his ring beeped just then.
"Oops, time for me to go too." Lady Scarlet ran out of the studio.
"Me too!" Cat Noir followed behind.
Place des Vosges
Lily was walking back to the park.
"Hey, there's the photographer!" Tikki said from her bag.
"And Adrien is waiting for you!" Trixx added.
"Oh yeah." Lily said, she should probably get back to that, Adrien seemed pretty worried when she left abruptly.
"Can I have a lollipop? Can I? Can I? Can I?" Manon asked.
"No, Manon. I have something important to do. Alya, you'll watch her, yeah? I'm ready for the-" Marinette started but was cut off by Lily entering the scene.
"Hey, sorry I left out of the blue like that, but I'm back now." Lily apologized.
Not helping Marinette's confidence was Adrien jumping from his spot to talk to her.
"Lily, you're okay!" he said, relieved.
Unexpectedly he hugged Lily which surprised her, and she soon hugged him back. Then the two let go of each other. Marinette growled lowly at the sight.
"Wait. Who is that angel?" Vincent said, looking at Manon.
Manon realized he was talking about her and laughed. "Haha!"
Lily giggled, and asked, "So should I just leave?"
"No, I want both of you!" he replied.
Lily exclaimed, "Huh?" as they exchanged glances and turned to Vincent.
"Yes! I picture a family setting now!" Vincent said.
Adrien stared at Lily, looking for confirmation. Lily smiled and said, "Sure, why not?"
Adrien's face bloomed into a big smile.
"Hohoho! Stupendous! Magnifico! Perfecto!" The resulting photo shoot with the three of them was actually pretty fun. As the three of them posed for the camera, Marinette glared at Lily as Alya comforted her with an embrace.
Gabriel's Office
Gabriel was examining the photos that Vincent had sent to him. He gazed at the one where Adrien and Lily are sitting on the bench talking. His son's smile is what caught his attention. It was Adrien's genuine smile. The soft smile on Adrien's face and the clear joy shining in his eyes gave his son an almost vulnerable look, it showed him as the child he truly was and yet it was more genuine than any of the expressions he wore from the other photos.
Though many of the shots from the shoot were deleted as he filtered through to the best ones, Gabriel did not scrap any of the photographs containing Lily. Instead, he saved them into a separate folder on his computer. Anyone who could invoke a smile like that from his son must be very special indeed.
