Scene: Dupain-Cheng House. A video of Alya Césaire in Paris is being viewed.
Alya: Don't blink now, 'cause we are live from Paris. Yo peeps, Alya here, bringing you the one and only Ladyblog. (Helicopter noises) Huh? What is that? (Ladybug flies by, hanging on to her yo-yo, tied to a helicopter. She drops a book.). Ladybug in action. Hang on 'cause we're going for a ride. (Alya runs over and picks up the book.) Freak out! What you got here is no ordinary book, it's a tenth grade history book. And I should know, 'cause I've got this very same book. Could our very own Ladybug be a high school student, (zoom out to reveal the Ladyblog website, which Yn Dupain-Cheng is watching the video from) in real life? Whoa!
Yn: I told you from day one Tikki, I'm a total klutz!
Tikki: What's done is done; we can't change what happened. We can only move forward. Alya must not find out who you are. You know how persistent she can be with her blog totally dedicated to Ladybug.
Yn: But how? Maybe I'm not cut out for this whole Ladybug thing.
Tikki: You are the chosen one, yn. It will all work out, trust me. Everyone has a past they can learn from. (Tikki types on the computer, bringing up a page on Egyptian pharaohs.) This will show you why.
Yn: An exhibition at the Louvre? On the pharaoh Tutankhamun? What does that have to do with my book and Alya?
Tikki: You must persuade Alya to go there with you, and make sure she brings the book. You'll tell her you found out something about Ladybug.
Yn: At the museum?
Tikki: You'll see!
Yn: Well, I don't know how I'm gonna convince Alya to go to an Egyptian exhibit, much less convince her that I'm not Ladybug!
Tikki: She will be interested, and so will you. Promise.
Scene: Louvre. Alya and Yn are going into the Louvre museum.
Alya: Can you believe it? All I gotta do is find out who this history book belongs to and BAM, I figure out Ladybug's true identity! I'm so on this one!
Yn: You really think you can figure out who Ladybug is from a textbook that every high school student owns?
Alya: Yep. 'Cause our school is the only school that uses that book! HA! So, all I gotta do is find out which girl in tenth grade lost her book last week. There are forty-three girls, not counting myself--
Yn: Forty-two! Not counting you... or me.
Alya: (elbows Yn) Hmm, yesterday somebody didn't have their textbook in class.
Yn: (worried) Uh-- I left it at home. You know how I always forget my stuff.
Alya: Hmm... (chuckles) Just messing with you, Yn. Of course I'll only drop you from my investigation when you bring your history book back to class.
(Jalil Kubdel runs between Alya and Yn carrying a folder full of papers. He pushes past them and trips, papers flying everywhere. His medallion falls, and he picks it up.)
Jalil: It's not broken!
Alya: (annoyed) Uh, I'm okay too, thanks for asking.
Jalil: I'm sorry. Hey, you're in the same grade as Alix, right? I'm her older brother, Jalil Kubdel. So you're into Tutankhamun too? (looks up) Dad!
Alya: Weird. So again girl, why are we here? This exhibit's got something to do with Ladybug? For reals?
Yn: Well, uh... (looks at Tikki in her purse. Tikki points at an Egyptian papyrus.) Yeah, it's over there. (takes Alya over to it. They look at it, Yn trying to see the significance, Alya looking bored.)
Scene: Adrien's room. Adrien Agreste is watching the same video from the Ladyblog shown earlier.
Alya: Hang on, 'cause we're going for a ride. Freak out! What you got here is no ordinary book, it's a tenth grade history book. And I should know, 'cause I've got this very same book. Could our very own Ladybug be a high school student, in real life?
Adrien: That's crazy! What are the odds that we have the same textbook? Maybe we even go to the same school!
Plagg: Don't you think you know her then? (eats his cheese) Why bother yourself with ladies when you could be enjoying this?
Adrien: For one, ladies smell about a thousand times better than that cheese. And they're much better-looking.
Plagg: Suit yourself. Your loss.
Adrien: My only loss is my appetite.
Scene: Louvre. Yn and Alya are still at the exhibition.
Alya: Come on, tell me what it is already!
Yn: No, no, cause... it wouldn't be a surprise then... (under her breath) for you or me.
(Yn and Tikki look at an ancient Egyptian papyrus.)
Jalil: I'm telling you, father, it's right there in the hieroglyphics. (He pushes Yn aside.) Excuse me. There, as you know, the one with the scepter is Tutankhamun, the first. And there, opposite is Nefertiti, his princess. There are exactly one hundred mummies beside them. She died several years before him, and the sun god Ra took her as his goddess.
Mr. Kubdel: Yes, I know all that. I'm the director of this exhibition, remember?
Jalil: Then you also know that Tutankhamun wanted to bring his princess back to life, by offering the sun god a new wife. This seemed to illustrate the ritual he devised. Nobody has ever fully deciphered the hieroglyphics, but I have! It's a magic chant that needs to be recited in order to complete the ritual! I'm sure of it!
Yn: He kinda reminds me of someone else with crazy ideas... you!
Alya: You might think my theories about Ladybug are crazy, but you watch, girl, I'll prove you wrong.
Mr. Kubdel: Jalil, these types of frescoes are almost always the illustration of a legend. They called it a legend for a reason...
Jalil: That's what everyone thinks. But I know it's real. I can prove it!
Mr. Kubdel: Really? And exactly how are you going to prove it?
Jalil: I just need to get my hands on Tutankhamun's scepter and recite the spell!
Mr. Kubdel: Are you serious? Don't even think of touching that scepter. I'd lose my job on the spot. It's a priceless historical object! Not a toy!
Jalil: Come on, dad! We have to try out the spell! What if Tutankhamun had found out how to bring people back to life?
Mr. Kubdel: Listen, Jalil! That's enough! Get your head out of those papyrus scrolls and focus on the real world! This one! (leaves)
(Jalil drops his papers, looking sad.)
