Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir REWRITE

Simon Aka Simon Says

A TV show called "The Challenge" is on the air.

Alec: Welcome back to everyone's #1 live game show: The Challenge! Let's give it up for our awesome contestant, Nino!
(Nino enters the stage)

Alec: So Nino, you're a student and a DJ. That's pretty awesome! Check out the decks we got for you!

The scene shifts to Marinette's house, living room.

Marinette: Grounded? For what?!

Tom: Let's jog your memory, Marinette. Monday morning, absent from P.E...
(Shows a flashback of Ladybug saving a helicopter.)

Marinette: I was in study hall.

Tom: Friday evening, absent from study hall.
(Shows a flashback of Ladybug saving a kitten from a tree)

Marinette: I was at P.E.!

Tom: You're never where you're supposed to be, Marinette! The only way we can keep track of you is by keeping you here, grounded. Listen Son You might have to up your game a bit and keep even a bigger eye on your sister, hope you understand

Avalon: (Sighs) I know that

Marinette: But I was invited... Nino is my friend, he was counting on me.

Alec: So, the challenge our viewers have chosen for you is... To get the mayor of Paris, André Bourgeois, to dance! Thank you for agreeing to play with us today, sir. What are Nino's chances tonight?

André: (On the screen) Zero. I despise dancing. The last time I set foot on a dance floor, Madonna was in kindergarten.

Tom: I know Nino's your friend. But until your unexcused absences come to an end, that's the way it's going to be.

Marinette: Awesome. (She goes to her room, sad. Sits in her chair and groans.)

Avalon: I try to light her mood, since I don't want my sister to be down all the time

Tom: (Smiles) and that's why we all love you too Son (Avalon walks upstairs)

Tikki: Can you blame them? How are they supposed to know that you're missing class to save the world?

Marinette: I guess being grounded comes with the territory of being a top secret superhero. Doesn't seem fair though.

Avalon: It's not and it's one of the cons of keeping identities a secret

Tikki: He's right It's not fair. But hey, if Nino wins, you're not grounded next week. You can go see him at the show!

Marinette: Yeah, but Adrien was there today! (turns on the computer, and Nino can be seen DJing.)

Hawk Moth: The Challenge... what an interesting concept. A TV show with such potential for negative emotion. Oh, the destructive mayhem we could cause...

Marinette is talking to Alya on the phone.

Marinette: Seriously? How can you say that, Alya?

Alya: Sorry, but I kinda get your dad, Marinette. You're never where you say you'll be. Showing up late, splitting mysteriously and all. I'd almost suspect you were leading... (narrows eyes) a double life. Even your brother is having trouble catching up to you

Marinette: (shocked) Gimme a break! You're being ridiculous.

(Simon Grimault arrives and tries to shake Adrien's hand, but Placide I.T. shields Adrien and stands protectively in front of him.)

Adrien: (shocked) No! It's okay!

Alec: Victory! Challenge conquered by Nino. You moved your head to the beat, Mayor Bourgeois! That counts as dancing!
