At the photoshoot, Vincent was still photographing Adrien, but is soon displeased as he sees that the model now appears to be tired.
"No, no, no! The boy has eaten too much spaghetti! Ugh, we need more energy! More romance! We need...a girl!" Vincent proclaimed, rambling on till he saw Alya sitting against a tree.
"You! I need an extra!" The photographer exclaimed when he approached Alya, surprising her.
"Who, me?" Alya asked, pointing to herself to make sure he was talking to her.
"Sì! To pose with Mr. Adrien!" Vincent confirmed, making Alya smile brightly. This was just what she needed... or more like, what Marinette needed.
"You don't want me, I... uhh... I think I'm having an allergic reaction to this apple," Alya protested, just before throwing the apple away.
"I know jutht(just) the perthon(person) you need! Hold that thought!" the reporter exclaimed, as she faked a swollen tongue, before leaving behind a confused photographer.
Alya books it to reach Marinette, just as she lifted Manon up and placed her on the unicorn on the merry-go-round.
"They need an extra to pose with Adrien!" Alya exclaimed in excitement... and out of breath, sending Marinette into shock.
"What? Seriously?" Marinette asked, excitement filling her voice as she smiled brightly.
"Is that boy your boyfriend?" Manon asked, wondering why her babysitter was getting so worked up about a boy.
"What?! No, I mean, yes? No!" Marinette stuttered, trying to figure out a not complicated answer that the five year old would understand.
"Go on! What are you waiting for?!" Alya questioned, wondering why her best friend was taking so long.
"But, what about Manon?" Marinette asked, bringing up the elephant in the room. Oh... right.
But that doesn't stop Alya from wagging finger towards Marinette and gesturing her move aside. The designer followed to a tee, before Alya jumped onto the unicorn behind Manon.
"You take care of Prince Charming, and I'll take care of Miss Unicorn here. You don't know how to control her anyway," Alya said, while Manon found the new situation less than ideal.
"No way! Marinette's my babysitter!" Manon argued, not wanting to have Alya look after her.
"Trust me," Alya reassured Marinette before turning her attention back to the little girl sitting in front of her.
"Unicorns unite! Let's go to Rispa and find us some sad little village kids and grant those wishes! Yee-haw!" The reporter exclaimed, using her arms and legs to further emphasize her performance, enticing Manon.
"Yee-haw!" Manon repeated, joining in on the excitement. Marinette smiled and ran towards the photoshoot as the merry-go-round started up. But when she was a good distance away, she heard someone screaming.
She stopped in her tracks, turned around and saw Stormy Weather flying in the air above the park. The weather themed villain quickly fired an icy wind at the civilians, blowing them away, before surrounding the merry-go-round and encasing it in an ice dome, trapping Manon and Alya inside. The sub-zero temperature froze Manon's balloon, causing it to shatter in front of the two girls' eyes.
"Run!" A civilian shouted, causing Marinette to wake from her shock and run to a bench to hide behind to transform. Once she was sure nobody could see her, she opened her purse to let Tikki poke out her adorable head.
"Time to transform!" Marinette worridley exclaimed. Tikki flies out of her purse in a loop-de-loop as Marinette cries out...
"Tikki, spots on!" The designer exclaimed before she transformed into Ladybug, with somehow nobody noticing considering her hiding place wasn't the greatest.
