in which famous model Adrien Agreste wins a charity contest: a date with superhero Ladybug

"Miraculous ladybug!"

Ladybug raises her right arm and throws a red-and-black spotted rolling pin into the air, watching as the magical ladybugs begin to fix all the damage in Paris caused by Shadowmoth's latest villain.

"Victorious as ever, Milady," Cat Noir says as he jogs up to his partner. "I never doubted us for a second."

"Me too, Kitty," She whispers, out of breath. This was the eighth akumatization this week—and it was only Wednesday. "We did good."

They both raised a fist. "Pound it."

"Ladybug! Cat Noir!" A reporter shouts as she runs over, a man with a big camera following her. She raises her microphone and says, "That was quite a fight! Congratulations!"

She smiles and raises her hand to wave. "Just doing our job—"

"Ladybug, do you have anything to say about the new charity contest that was announced this morning?"

The hero blinks at the reporter. "Uh... I-I don't know what you're talking about?"

"The charity contest! You know: 'Win A Date With Ladybug'?"

"WHAT?!" She shouts, eyes wide.

"Mayor Bourgeois made a press conference this morning at the hotel," The reporter says, pulling out her phone to show the heroes the news footage from earlier that day.

The two heroes lean forward and watch on the tiny screen as their mayor stands outside his hotel, parked at a podium, addressing a large crowd of paparazzi and reporters.

"Paris, our beloved city, deserves the best, doesn't she? I've always believed in supporting charities that make our home cleaner, safer, and beautiful, and today I will be supporting a new charity—founded by my own daughter, Chloe—promptly named: Win A Date With Ladybug! For the next hour, all Parisians will be able to send their name in through an online ballot, and tomorrow morning we will announce the winner live on TV! Every name submitted is one-thousand euros donated to local schools and food banks. So, what are you waiting for, Paris? Who will be the lucky winner for our superhero?!"

Ladybug stands there, jaw open, and shakes her head fast. "I-I... what?! I wasn't aware of this!"

"Hey, why isn't there a contest for me?" Cat Noir asks with a sad pout. "I'm fun, too."

"So, Ladybug, can you give us any insider intel on what this special date—"

"NO!" She cuts in fast. "This is ridiculous! You can't just auction me off!"

The reporter's eyes widen. "Are you canceling the charity contest?! Do you know how many schools and food banks you can help?!"

"I..." Ladybug sighs. "No, I'm not canceling. I was just caught off guard. The date will go... as planned." Unfortunately.

Cat Noir rests his arms on his staff, leaning in close, and flirts, "I don't even have to sign up because I can take you on a date whenever I want, Bugaboo."
