Scene: The Césaire apartment. Marinette is speaking to Marlena Césaire on her phone while Alya is playing with her little sisters Ella and Etta, who are both wearing propeller hats.
Marinette: Yes, Mrs. Césaire. The girls are ready for bed! Uh... technically speaking... (chuckles) Yeah, we're good. Enjoy the movie! (turns off her cellphone)
Alya: Come on, bedtime, you little monsters! That's enough mischief for one day! (picks up her sisters)
Ella and Etta: It's not us! It's the Sapotis! (laughing)
Scene: Ella and Etta's room. Alya tucks each of her sisters into bed.
Alya: Off to bed, little Sapotis. You need to rest if you wanna be fighting fit for tomorrow.
Etta: It's not fair! We don't wanna go to bed! We wanna stay up with you!
Ella: Yeah! We wanna watch the movie and tell each other lots of secrets!
Alya: And what kind of zombies will you be at the amusement park tomorrow if you go to bed late? Show 'em, Marinette!
In the doorway, Marinette pretends to yawn and feel exhausted after she wakes up in the morning.
Alya: So what's it gonna be? Boring sit-down pajama party with the big kids, or... the super fun cool amusement park tomorrow?
Ella and Etta: The amusement park! (both settle down to sleep)
Alya: That's what I thought. So, goodnight, Sapotis. (reaches down to remove Ella's hat)
Ella: Wait! Can we keep 'em on? Please?
Alya: All right. But go to sleep now. (turns off the light before closing the door and leaving the room)
Scene: Living room. Alya sets down a tray with a pitcher of orange juice and two glasses on the coffee table, and transfers the tray's contents to the table.
Marinette: (getting out two plates and spoons in the kitchen) You seriously have a technique down with your little sisters. But... uh, who are the Sapa... Sapo...?
Alya: The Sapotis? They're little monsters from a créole fable... who are always pulling pranks and making all sorts of mischief. (Marinette takes a tray with two slices of cantaloupe out of the refrigerator) Now that we're all alone I can finally tell you. (pulls out her phone) Apparently Ladybug has been around at least since the pharaohs. But no way can the Ladybug we know can be five thousand years old! So, I downloaded a great app that analyzed some recordings I had of her talking. Based on the frequencies of her voice, it turns out she's a girl our age!
What app would tell you that?
Marinette: Euhh.. (looks away from Alya's phone) Uh...Alya? The orange juice?
Marinette and Alya hear Ella and Etta chuckling. Alya looks over the couch to see that the pitcher of orange juice has been completely emptied.
Alya groans.
Scene: Ella and Etta's room. Alya wipes both twins' mouths with a napkin.
Ella and Etta: It's not us! It's the Sapotis!
Alya leaves the room again when the twins both settle back in to sleep.
Scene: Living room
Alya: What were we saying again?
Marinette: (sets the tray of cantaloupe on the coffee table) Uhh... (runs over to the TV and picks up some DVD cases) We were about to watch a movie! (chuckles and grins)
She holds out three movie cases, but then notices that she's showing a DVD of a Ladybug anime; so she switches it to show the Kond Le Chien movie before chuckling again.
