Ladybug and Chat Noir were fighting Animaestro, trying to get everyone to stop looking at him so he couldn’t move.
But one person was refusing to look away.
Ladybug ran over to Lila, “Citizen, you need to get to safety.”
“Hey!”
Ladybug carried Lila away and left her far enough that she wouldn’t be able to see the villain.
Lila tried to trip Ladybug so Backwarder could hit her with her sword.
Ladybug jumped over the leg, and Lila was hit instead.
Ladybug arrived to save Lila from Oni-Chan when suddenly, the Akuma started attacking her instead.
Aspik got tired of Lila interfering in his attempts to help and woo Ladybug and used her to block Desperada’s shot.
“D-Did he just use that girl as a human shield?!” The shocked Akuma asked.
“Yum yum! Miraculous!” Feast said.
Marinette, disguised as a biker, was almost knocked over by Lila riding another bike.
“Oops, my bad,” she said mockingly.
Feast shot out his tongue, which wrapped around Lila, “Oh no.”
Lila screamed as she was swallowed.
Lila smiled as Party Crasher shot Ladybug. She hadn't even had to do anything.
But then King Monkey showed up and ruined everything.
As the heroes started dancing, Lila ran forward to push Ladybug over.
“You won’t win this time, Ladybug!”
Ladybug tripped her over with a dance move, causing her to disappear in a flash of light.
The temporary heroes took notice.
“I’m telling you, Alya,” Nino said, “Lila totally tried to sabotage Ladybug.”
“It has to be a misunderstanding,” Alya insisted, “Lila and Ladybug are friends.”
“Ladybug tripped her. I hardly call that the actions of a friend. You can ask the other boy heroes. They’ll tell you the same thing, and remember that shapeshifting Akuma? When you think about it, what they said makes sense.”
“We can’t trust the word of an Akuma.”
“No,” Nino agreed, “But it is worth investigating, especially with how Lila keeps ‘accidentally’ showing up at Akuma attacks.”
“She does have a habit of complicating things for Ladybug,” Alya admitted.
“I doubt it’s a coincidence,” Nino told her, “And you heard how she keeps suggesting that Marinette is keeping a secret.”
Alya couldn't deny that. It seemed to be all Lila talked about now.
“Maybe we should look into this,” Alya admitted.
