Miraculous Ladybug Season 4: The Collusion of Trauma

Senti-Bubbler(rewrite)

(As in the show, this is a direct episode after Optigami. After I tried to have Optigami make rational sense to why it couldn't be made earlier, again I did my very best, I am now here for another plot hole. But first, this episode was pretty good. Alya was incredible and Gabriel was smart with his plan, but there were some issues. Apart from Cat Noir being a bit douchey in this episode, Pegabug is the real problem. Her design sucks, but that is not the issue. The issue is the scene where she grabs Gabriel's cup. What's the problem? I don't know. Maybe it is the fact Mari's RIGHT HAND was perfectly able to grab Shadowmoth's miraculous, and put an end to him. In other words, Marinette wasted the one and only good chance to actually defeated Shadowmoth. But she didn't. So that is why this needs a rewrite. As always, please enjoy my next story).

At Alya's house, the door bell rings. "I'll go get it." Alya said. She walks to the door, and opens it. It is Marinette. "Hey, girl. What's up?" Alya asked. "Nothing much. Just here to see my BFF again. As well as other things." Marinette replied. "Oh, yeah. Well, come on in. The meal is almost ready." Alya said. Marinette enters her home, and is greeted by Alya's family. Her two parents, her older sister, and her two twin sisters. "It was so nice of you to join us for today's dinner, Marinette. We love it when we have guest over." Alya's Mom said. "Of course. Alya told me all about how you are an amazing chef. I am very excited to taste you food." Marinette replied. "Thank you. Well, it will be ready in two minutes. Just relax, until the time comes." Alya's Mom said. "Ok, Mom. Marinette and I need to chat for a minute. So, we need some space for the time being." Alya replied. Alya takes Marinette to her room. She closes the doors, and puts down her blinds. "So, how is......you know?" Marinette asked. "Oh, that. She is perfectly fine." Alya replied. She unzips the hand bag she now has, and Trixx flies out. Tikki flies out as well. "Hello, old friend. How are you doing?" Tikki asked. "It's been going good, even though it has been only one day. Alya has been taking good care of me. She feed me, looked after me, and sadly made sure I didn't cause any mischief." Trixx replied. "Well, do you want Marinette to take you away from me, Trixx?" Alya asked. [signs]. No." Trixx replied. "Exactly. In other words, things have been going as cool as a cucumber." Alya said. "That is perfect. I am glad you have been playing your part smoothly and safely." Marinette replied. "Thanks. Speaking of perfect, did you tell Cat Noir about the new member to our team?" Alya asked. "No because Cat Noir must NEVER know about this." Marinette replied. "What, why?" Alya asked. "He would probably feel jealous that there is another permanent holder. That is why I cannot tell him you are full time Rena Rouge." Marinette replied. "Really? I think he should know about this. I mean, he is your partner after all, and me being a permanent holder looks like important info he should know." Alya said. "It doesn't matter. He cannot know about this." Marinette replied. "Ok, but it still doesn't make sense.  Are you sure this is the right solution?" Alya asked. "Well,.......[gets Cat Blanc PTSD].........yes. This is the right solution. And as guardian, I make the rules, and how they play out." Marinette replied. "Ok, if you say so." Alya said. They are interrupted with a knock on Alya's door. "Girls, the dinner is ready." Alya's Mom said. "Ok, thanks Mom." Alya replied. The two kwamis go back into their bags, as Marinette and Alya leave her bedroom. They sit down at the table, and Alya's Mom plates her meal. "This right here is a coq au vin. A famous chicken dish here in Paris. Fresh crispy chicken legs, a delicious French shew, served with a side of rice." Alya's Mom explained(Fun Fact: I think this is the actually dish she cooked in the original episode, but if not, hear this. Coq au vin is an actual classic chicken dish in France. So a little real life element to this story. And another fun fact, one of the reasons I enjoy this show in general is the fact I went to France/Paris twice one month each. It was amazing. I also studied French in high school, as I will in college. The more you know). As the plates are set, Alya and her loved ones enjoy the meal. They savour every piece of this dish. "Mmmm. This is delicious. You did a wonderful job, Mrs. Cesaire." Marinette said. "I appreciate the compliment, Marinette. That was very nice of you. In fact, Alya told me so much about you being a really nice person." Alya's Mom replied. "Yep, totally. I have done a lot of helpful things in my life. I helpe friends with their HW, I worked hard to make things right for everyone as class representative, and so much more. We can be here all day if we have to." Marinette said. "Impressive, but not as many as Ladybug and Cat Noir. They have been saving Paris left and right ever since Shadowmoth showed up." Nora said(Alya's older sister). "It's true. If it weren't for them, I would have hurt that kid who insulted my panther." Alya's dad said(Animan's events). "If it weren't for them, I would have hurtted my sister, and her boyfriend." Nora said(Anasi's events). "And if it weren't for them and Rean Rouge, we would still be having a lot of fun, but in a bad way." Alya's twisn said(Sapotis' events). "They work hard everyday you guys, and it is up to us to give them the respect they deserve for their duties. Don't you agree, Marinette?" Alya's Mom asked. "Uhh.......[thinks because she is Ladybug]......absolutely. They are the swore saviors of Paris, and they will always be there for everyone when needed." Marinette replied. "That is why we love them." Alya said. "Yeah. Hey, Alya, do you mind opening the doors to the balcony. It is a bit hot in here?" Nora asked. "Of course, big sis." Alya replied.
