Alya's parents went to the movies, leaving Alya in charge of Ella and Etta, two adorable little troublemakers. Of course desperate times require desperate measures, so Alya called her bestie.

  - Thanks a lot for coming to help me girl
  - No problem, besides,how can I say no to a girls' night?

They girls giggled as they walked towards Alya's room.

  - You can go there and change in your pijamas.
  - OK, I'll be back before you can say "Girls' night here we come!"

Ella and Etta came to Alya and touched her as in a tag game.

  - Tag you're it!
  - Oh, you little monsters

All three laughed as they played tag around the apartment. Marinette was now dressed in her pijamas and got out of Alya's room only to be knocked down by the running twins.

  - Sorry, they're just really energetic

Alya helped Marinette get up

- Don't worry.

The Ella and Etta tagged Marinette

  - Tag, you're it!
 

Marinette started chasing the twins before tripping and falling on the couch. Alya's phone started ringing.

  - That must be my mom. Could you pick up and tell her everything is fine?
  - Sure

Marinette picked up the phone while Alya was trying to catch her sisters so she could put them to bed.

-Yes, Mrs. Césaire. The girls are ready for bed. Uh... technically speaking...

Alya finally cought her sisters and picked them up.

-Yeah, we're good. Enjoy the movie!

Marinette hung up the phone.

-Come on, bedtime, you little monsters! That's enough mischief for one day!
-It's not us! It's the Sapotis!

Alya tucked her sisters into bed.

-Off to bed, little Sapotis. You need to rest if -you wanna be fighting fit for tomorrow.
-It's not fair! We don't wanna go to bed! We wanna stay up with you!
  - Ok, let's make a deal. If you go to sleep right now, we go to the amusement park tommorow? So what's it gonna be? Boring sit-down pajama party with the big kids, or...the super-fun cool amusement park tomorrow?
- The amusement park!
- That's what I thought. So, goodnight, Sapotis. 

Alya went to the living-room where Marinette was preparing the macaroons she brought.

-You seriously have a technique down with your little sisters. But... uh, who are the Sapa... Sapo...?
-The Sapotis? They're little monsters from a créole fable... who are always pulling pranks and making all sorts of mischief.
  - They sound like bad guys.
  - Well yeah but they only want to have fun. Anyway, now that we're all alone I can finally tell you.Apparently Ladybug has been around at least since the pharaohs. But no way can the Ladybug we know can be five thousand years old! So, I downloaded a great app that analyzed some recordings I had of her talking. Based on the frequencies of her voice, it turns out she's a girl our age!
  - Uhh... Alya, the orange juice...?
 
Marinette and Alya heard Ella and Etta chuckling. Alya looked over the couch to see that the pitcher of orange juice had been completely emptied.

-It's not us! It's the Sapotis!

Alya wiped both twins' mouths and left the room.

-What were we saying again?

Marinette wanted to avoid the discussion about Ladybug so she ran over to the TV stand and picked several DVD cases in hopes that she could distract Alya from the topic.
