[Mariposa Spanish for Butterfly] Today was the day. The day when Marinette would tell Adrien how she felt about him. But then... It all goes wrong... Witness the fall of Ladybug and the rise of Mariposa, Princess of all Akuma's.
Inside the Grande Paris Hotel, Chloe Bourgois and Lila Rossi were doing each other's hair and nails while Sabrina did their homework for them.
"Ugh, can you believe the way Adrien treated me this morning?" Chloe asked for the umpteenth time that day.
"I know right?" Lila said brushing her friend's hair.
Since a few weeks after Lila became Volpina, the two girls had become best friends, but only because of their love for Adrien, and hate for everyone else.
"I mean why did he act like that?" Chloe carried on "It was almost as if he... Cared... for that Mari-Trash and that new girl."
"Marinette's actually really nice Chloe," Sabrina spoke up "And so is Alya. Maybe if you just..."
"Whatever," Lila said cutting across her "Maybe he just didn't get enough sleep and was confused and didn't know what he was doing. We'll try again tomorrow."
Just then the sounds of trumpets playing came from outside, and the three girls ran to the balcony that was outside Chloe's room to see what was wrong.
"Oye. Oye. This is a message from Princess Mariposa," one of the many Knights cried out to everyone who could hear. "She requires every citizen of this town to gather outside her palace," he said then looked up to see the girls "Chloe Bourgois, Lila Rossi, Her Highness requests you to be the guests of honour. Come down and be included."
From the balcony Chloe and Lila were running about frantically, around the room trying to work out what to wear.
Mean while, Sabrina was trying to get them to listen to her as she tried to make them stop.
"But Chloe. Are you sure this will be such a good idea?" she asked nervously.
"Ha! What could possibly go wrong at something like this?" Chloe asked laughing into the back of her hand.
"Exactly," Lila added, readjusting her fox tail necklace "I don't care if she is an Akuma or not. As long as we're the guests of honour and can get a chance to shine in front of Adrien."
Seeing that they wouldn't listen to her, Sabrina sighed and dropped the subject.

After about ten more minutes, Chloe and Lila were inside an open topped horse-drawn-carriage, and heading towards Mariposa's palace, a troop of knights leading the way, and a collection of scared citizens walking slowly behind them, being egged on by the more knights.
