(Old Version) Miraculous Season One: Beginnings

Volpina

(Synopsis: After getting humiliated in front of Adrien by Camazotz and Ladybug, Lila, a new student, becomes Volpina, a villain of illusions.)

Adrien rushes down the stairs with his bags before hearing a conversation between his father and someone else. He peeks into the room to see his father on the phone.

"Yes, I'm busy. I was right in the middle of something very important. What do you want?" Gabriel pauses, looking at a book on his table, "What?! This is unacceptable! The sample garment doesn't match at all!" he closes grabs his book, "All you had to do was follow a pattern. Imbeciles!" he heads to an open safe, "What am I supposed to do? The show is in three days! No, don't use him, he's completely useless." he puts the book into the safe, closing it and concealing it with the painting of his wife, "Call my assistant, Nathalie. She'll give you some other names." he heads out of the room, Adrien hiding behind a pillar to avoid being spotted.

Adrien peeks out as soon as his father's out of sight, "He hides stuff behind the painting of Mom?"

"Ooh! I love dirty secrets!" Plagg exclaims as his owner walks into the room and opens the painting, "Oh, yes! Go on, go on!"

Adrien reaches his hand out to the safe before pulling away, "I can't do it. My dad wouldn't like me going through his stuff. Besides, I don't even know the code, and my fencing class is about to start."

"You're such a party pooper." Plagg phases through the safe door, unlocking it from the inside.

"Plagg, no!"

"My, my, what have we got here?" Plagg looks around as Adrien opens the safe, gasping, "A book on Tibet, an old flyer from a hotel, a load of old junk, come on, where's the good stuff?" he knocks the book Gabriel had into his owner's arms, "I've seen this book somewhere before. But who cares? I'm famished! I need Camembert!"

Adrien flips through the pages, looking at ancient Chinese superheroes similar to Chat Noir, Mitsubachi, Ladybug, and Camazotz, along with a fox, "Why is my dad keeping this locked in a safe?" he flips another page, gasping as he stares at a picture of an ancient Chinese hero similar to..., "Hawk Moth? What's this monster doing in a book about superheroes?"

"Cheese! Didn't you hear me?" Plagg then examines the book and gasps, "Wait a minute...take the book with you."

"What?"

"Take the book!"

Adrien gasps when he hears approaching footsteps. He moves to put the book away, but decides to shut the safe and conceal it with the painting, stashing the book into his school bag as Nathalie and Gorilla enter the room.

"Adrien? You're going to be late." Nathalie informs him as Gorilla grunts.

"I was...looking for my homework. Silly me." Adrien runs the back of his head, chuckling nervously.

...

After finding out about Marinette's obsession with Adrien, Isabella had been avoiding her, the girls separating them after what happened between them. Isabella and Alya head into the school immediately as Alissa and Marinette trail behind when they hear Rose and Juleka's conversation.

"Can you believe Lila knows Prince Ali? She even flew in his private jet with him!" the blonde girl told her best friend.

The two girls look confused as they make their way inside the school as Chloé marches past them with Sabrina carrying all her stuff.

"Why did Jagged Stone write a song about Lila when he could've written it about me?"

The two girls look even more confused as they spot Nino talking to Ryder, Kim, and Max.
