A/N: Outfit for the chapter.
Hairstyle:
Rossi's Residence - Lily's Room
"So you and parents are going to the mime show?" Adrien asked.
"Yup. Are you coming as well?" Lily confirmed as she was sketching an evening dress.
"Well I'm hoping my dad is coming with me to see it. But I'm having my doubts." Adrien admitted.
"Even if he doesn't show, you can still sit with me and my parents." Lily offered.
"Thanks, Lily. That would be nice. Somehow, I always have a good time when I'm with you or parents." Adrien admitted, smiled.
"I think my parents also like having a good time with the both of us." Lily teased with a smile.
"You're probably right."
"Okay, we'll see you at the show."
"See you at the show!" Adrien said before he hung up.
Lily's smile fell and let out a sigh.
"Is something wrong, Lily?" Doongoo asked.
"I just...I just wish I could tell Adrien and Plagg about you guys." Lily admitted.
Lily's parents were surprised when they met the new Kwamis who were in Lily's care. John joked that they all had a reason to do a lot of cooking and baking. Lily, Tikki and Trixx were able to help all the Kwamis get used to modern technology which they were fascinated by. She showed them what kind of food they had now and the things they could entertainment themselves with while she's at school. She also told them that she was a transmigrator as well. The Kwamis were surprised and amazed about that fact. They promised not to tell her parents about being a transmigrator.
"By the way, is an Akuma going to appear today?" Doongoo asked.
Lily was about to answer.
"Lily! You've got more visitors! It's your classmate Mylène and her father!" May yelled from downstairs.
"Coming, mom!" Lily shouts before grabbing a black hat from her desk. She went downstairs to see Mylène, and her father Fred.
"My family and I are going to the show as well." May informed.
"It looks to be an interesting show. We haven't seen one in a while." John commented.
"The Mime's Extraordinary Adventures," Mylène beamed, "Starring the most talented, amazingly awesome actor and mime!" She grabbed his hand.
"Come on, now." Fred said, flattered by his daughter's words.
"My father! Give it up for Fred Haprèle!" Mylène proclaimed.
John and May applaud Fred.
"Thank you very much! Thank you, Mylène."
"Well, congratulations, you must make your daughter very proud!" May smiles.
Fred wraps an arm around his daughter. "Now all I need is my hat to complete my costume."
"Here it is." Lily walks up to Fred with that hat.
"Thank you, Lily! Saving me at the last minute." Fred mimes that the hat is inside a box. He opens the box and puts on the hat and winks.
Lily smiles and holds the invisible box, playing along.
"Ha! I don't think Mylène was exaggerating at all!" John smiles.
"Why, thank you!" Fred thanked, bowing.
"I fixed the tear in it," Lily puts down the invisible box. "I also sewed the pocket on the inside, just like you asked."
"You've done a perfect job," Fred dug inside his pocket and took out a 50$ dollar bill. "Here's your pay."
Lily smiles as she took the dollar bill and put it in her jacket pocket.
"Thanks to you," Fred got out a small picture of Mylène. "I'll have my good luck charm right here next to me at all times. A photo of my beloved daughter." He put the photo in the hat pocket.
"Aw, dad." Mylène hugs the man.
Fred's phone rings just then and he answers it. "Hello, Sa-"
"Fred, where are you?!"
"Yes, I had to pick up my hat!"
"I need you here now!"
"Jeez, what a snob." Trixx mutters to Tikki, who were hiding in Lily's hair.
"It's not an excuse! I know the bus is leaving in less than a half-hour, I'll be there!" Fred hangs up. "That was Sarah, the place director. She's very nervous about the premiere. She's ready to blow a fuse! So I better get going." He kisses Mylène's temple. "See you tonight at the Eiffel Tower, girls!" He began walking towards the door.
"We can't wait!" Lily waves.
"Love you, Dad!"
Rossi Residence - Lily's Room
"So there's going to be an Akuma today, right?" Doongoo asked.
"Its name is Mime. It's Mylène's dad who gets Akumatized." Lily replied.
"Poor Fred." Tikki commented, sadly.
"How does he get Akumatized?" Joove questioned.
"One of the troupe's members lies where they're located and that guy takes his role. Fred feels like he's disappointed his daughter, and he becomes Akumatized." Lily answered.
"Maybe you should tell your parents that you want to do a patrol before the show starts?" Sotter suggested.
"Good idea." Lily agreed.
Lily grabbed her purse and Tikki and Trixx went into it. She quickly went downstairs and into the living room where her parents were.
"I'm going to do a little patrol before we go to the show." Lily decided.
"Why Lily?" May asked.
"I just have a bad feeling." Lily replied.
"A bad feeling?" John questioned.
"An Akuma might appear." Lily admitted.
May and John looked at each other and back at Lily.
"If you must. Be careful." John warned.
"Don't worry, I won't be late." Lily assured her parents.
"Okay, good luck." May smiled.
Lily nodded and flipped her hair back to show more of her ears, "Tikki, Spots On!"
Lily soon transformed into her heroine form. But Lady Scarlet noticed something at her outfit.
"My outfit...it's different." Lady Scarlet gazed her outfit with amazement.
{A/N: Her hair is in a ponytail tied with a red ribbon. She has red highlights at the end of her ponytail and bangs}
Her new outfit looked more different than the new one in the original show. Lily had to admit that she liked the new outfit.
"Indeed. I have to admit that it looks amazing." May complimented.
"I agree." John agreed.
"Well, I better go. See you at the show!" Lady Scarlet said before she opened a window and used her yo-yo to get out. Then she headed off where the Mime could be.
Agreste Car
Adrien's eyes fixated on the passing scenery outside the car window; his mind lost in a whirlwind of thoughts.
"Yes, sir. Understood, sir. I'm...sure he'll understand, sir." Nathalie obediently responded, her tone tinged with a hint of disappointment.
The call ended, leaving a heavy silence in the car. Adrien's expression transformed, a mixture of frustration and sadness etching itself onto his face.
With a heavy sigh, he voiced his disappointment. "My dad's flaking, isn't he? Let me guess. Something came up?" Adrien asked.
Nathalie turned towards Adrien. "Yes, but he has reserved the best seats in the house for you, Adrien. Front row, next to the Rossi's." She revealed.
"As usual. The best money can buy." Adrien muttered. Suddenly, the car jerked to a halt, the screeching of tires filling the air.
Gorilla gasped in surprise, his hands slamming on the brakes. Something unexpected had obstructed their path, forcing them to come to a complete stop. Lady Scarlet jumped in front of the car.
"Get out of the car and find a place to hide, I'll cover you." Lady Scarlet ordered.
Adrien rolled down his window, his heart racing as he gazed into Lady Scarlet's piercing hazel green eyes. It was like time stood still as they locked gazes, lost in the moment.
But their romantic reverie was shattered by the sudden attack of The Mime, who launched a barrage of invisible arrows at them. Lady Scarlet sprang into action, expertly dodging and deflecting the deadly projectiles with his trusty yo-yo.
Meanwhile, Nathalie, Gorilla, and Adrien scrambled out of the car. Adrien hesitated for a moment but then darted behind a nearby building.
"We gotta transform now, Plagg." Adrien said.
"I thought I was gonna be a spectator, not a performer. What about the show?" Plagg asked.
"No time." Adrien replied. "Plagg, Claws Out!"
The Mime began to fire invisible arrows at the bug heroine, which she blocks with her yo-yo.
"Whoa, his power's dangerous." She frowns.
The Mime continues to fire arrows at the superhero, which she still blocked.
"Alright, that's it!" Lady Scarlet throws her yo-yo at The Mine and crushes the Mime's invisible bow with it before retracting it.
The Mime opens an invisible box and takes an invisible bazooka from it.
Lady Scarlet tilted her head in confusion but gasped when The Mime fired at her. She quickly jumped out of the way and a car behind her exploded.
The Mime mimics a whip and uses it to grab Lady Scarlet, making her struggle. A pink butterfly outlined his face.
"Grab her Miraculous, the earrings! Now!" Hawk Moth ordered.
The Mime pulls Lady Scarlet towards him, but before he could grab one of her earrings, Cat Noir shoves him away with his staff.
"Keep those hands to yourself, clown!" Cat Noir ordered.
"Thanks, kitty." Lady Scarlet smiles at him.
"By the way, I love your new look." Cat Noir complimented.
"Thanks again, kitty." Lady Scarlet smiles while her cheeks turn pink.
"Don't worry, I've got this." Cat Noir assured his partner and winked.
"Uhhh, okay?" Lady Scarlet raised an eyebrow as Cat Noir ran towards The Mime.
The villain simply mimics a cell, causing Cat Noir to collide with the bars and fall back. He glides his fingers across the bars and gets out some invisible keys, locking the cell just as Lady Scarlet and Cat Noir ran up and struggled against them.
The Mime takes off his hat and bows before leaving.
"Apparently, not seeing is believing." Lady Scarlet commented.
"We can't let him go like that!" Cat Noir storms off.
The Mime unlocks an invisible car, and Lady Scarlet yelps as she stumbles forward since the bars vanished.
The Mime gets into the invisible car, buckles up, and drives away.
Lady Scarlet then noticed Cat Noir charging forward. "No, wait, don't!"
Since the bars weren't there anymore, Cat Noir ended up falling down.
"There! I did it."
"No, Cat Noir. When he started miming the car, the bars disappeared. Let's go!" Lady Scarlet swung away.
"Hey! Wait!" Cat Noir followed after her.
The Streets
The Miraculous duo was following The Mime and made a move to land on his car, causing him to look up.
"Nice ride, but if I were you, I would have at least made it a convertible." Cat Noir commented.
The Mime presses his foot down on the gas even more, propelling the car forward. Lady Scarlet almost slipped off the car, but Cat Noir grabbed her hand and held on.
Lady Scarlet noticed the bus upfront just then. "He's one of the actors from the theater troupe," She told Cat Noir. "And he's after that bus!"
The Mime makes a turn and jumps out of the still running invisible car.
"That sly man! We gotta stop this thing!" Lady Scarlet jumped into the driver's seat and put her hands on the wheel.
"Slam down on the brake!" Cat Noir yells.
"It would be easy if I could see!" Lady Scarlet steps on the invisible gas, accidentally speeding up the car. "Oh shoot!" She gasps when she sees a woman and a child crossing the street before she hits the invisible brake, stopping the car.
"Not bad," Cat Noir gave his partner a thumbs up. "For driving an invisible car. Course, they'll never believe us if we tell them we just saved their lives."
"With all the saving we've done, are you sure about that?" Lady Scarlet asked him.
Meanwhile, The Mime gets onto an invisible motorcycle and mimes that he's putting on a helmet, before taking off.
The invisible car disappears, and Lady Scarlet and Cat Noir fall to the ground.
"He's at it again!" Lady Scarlet got up with Cat Noir. "We gotta catch up with the bus before he does!"
Cat Noir abruptly puts her arm around his shoulder while he put his hand on her waist.
Lady Scarlet's cheeks reddened before she sighed. "Really Noir? What do you think you're doing?
"Good thing you have friends in high places," Cat Noir gets out his staff. "Hold on!" He uses his staff to elevate Lady Scarlet and himself up to the sky.
"Whoa, is this how far your staff can extend?" Lady Scarlet looks down at the city, sitting on Cat Noir's leg with her arms wrapped around his neck.
"Yeah, it's nothing really." Cat Noir smirks.
"Says you! I wish I had a weapon like yours!" Lady Scarlet smiles, "Drop us off over there." She pointed at the location.
"Get ready." Cat Noir uses the staff to drop him and Lady Scarlet on top of the bus. "Where could the Akuma be?" He asked, watching the Mime.
"It must be inside his hat or the hat itself. That's the only noticeable thing." Lady Scarlet explained.
As The Mime got closer, Lady Scarlet uses her yo-yo to make a net, but The Mime jumps through an opening before he began to jump along the cars to the bus before jumping on the bus itself and got out an invisible sword.
"I hope you're okay with sword fighting him." Lady Scarlet says to Cat Noir.
"Gotcha." Cat Noir distracts The Mime, engaging in a fight with him.
Lady Scarlet tries to grab his hat but The Mime notices and attacks her. However, she blocks his sword with her yo-yo. Cat Noir knocks The Mime off the bus with his staff, but Lady Scarlet grabs his hand, slamming him against the bus, shocking Chris, who notices him.
"Fred?!"
The Mime looks at Lady Scarlet as a pink butterfly outlines his face.
"The Miraculous! Grab her earring!" Hawk Moth demanded.
The Mime attempts to grab Lady Scarlet's earring, but she dodges. She's about to fall off but Cat Noir grabs her by her foot and pulls her up.
"His hat! Grab his hat!" Lady Scarlet yells.
"Look out!" Cat Noir shouts.
Lady Scarlet dodges The Mime's attack, instinctively letting go of his hand, causing him to fall off the bus and landing onto a car. The villain mimics a chainsaw to saw the ceiling of the car, before jumping inside the passenger's seat and pointing two fingers ahead, telling the driver to speed up.
"We got to get the passengers to safety!" Lady Scarlet says as Cat Noir helps her up.
"Can I lend a helping paw?" Cat Noir asked.
"Like you even had to ask. Cover me!"
"Hurry up, M'lady!" Cat Noir got out his staff.
Lady Scarlet knocks on the bus's door and it opens, allowing her in. "Stop the bus!"
"Lady Scarlet, what's happening?" Sarah asked.
"One of your actors has been Akumatized, and for some reason, he's seemed to be heading in for your troupe!" Lady Scarlet informed.
"Fred?" Sarah's eyes widened.
"Yeah. Do any of you know why?" Lady Scarlet asked.
Chris nervously averted his gaze, gulping in fear.
Meanwhile, The Mime heads for the bus and fires arrows at Cat Noir, but he dodges them with his staff. One of the arrows pinches a wheel of the bus, making it out of control and swing in the direction of the Eiffel Tower.
Cat Noir jumps in front of the bus and extends his staff, stopping the bus with it.
"Stay inside and don't panic. We'll get this under control." Lady Scarlet assured the civilians and began to leave the bus.
"Lady Scarlet, I know why he's after us." Chris peeks out from behind the seat. "I took his role from him. But he can perform instead of me! I don't care anymore! Please, just keep us all safe!" He pleaded."
"What? That's not a very right thing to do." Lady Scarlet scolded him.
"What do you mean you took his role from him? He lost it!" Sarah puts her hands on her hips.
"Not exactly. There's something I have to tell you..."
"Don't tell me you-"
Meanwhile, The Mime reaches the bus and runs on top of it, heading towards Cat Noir before he began to fight with him.
Lady Scarlet noticed this, and she quickly got out of the bus, charging at the villain. "Get away from my partner!" She throws her yo-yo and wraps it around the villain's wrist, yanking him off her partner before standing beside him.
"You okay?" She asked.
"Never been better, M'lady." Cat Noir smiles.
The Mime then mimics a bomb and throws it at the Miraculous pair, sending them flying back from the impact.
"He sure brings a whole new meaning to silent but deadly." Cat Noir quipped.
"Tell me about it. Lucky Charm!" Lady Scarlet receives a shoebox.
"A shoebox? Great. There better be some explosive boots in there or something." Cat Noir says.
The Mime charges at Cat Noir and he does the same.
Using her Lucky Vision, Lady Scarlet spots Sarah's glasses, the bus's light, a Mime poster and the Eiffel Tower.
"Of course! We have to make him really angry! Blow his fuse!" Lady Scarlet told Cat Noir.
The cat hero kicks The Mime away. "You don't think he's angry enough?"
"You're good at annoying people, just do your thing!" Lady Scarlet responds, running towards the bus.
"Hey! ...That is true." Cat Noir smirks and goes to resume his battle with The Mime.
"Sorry, but I gotta borrow these," Lady Scarlet took Sarah's glasses before grabbing the mime poster and putting the items in the box. "A watch, a magnifying glass, some light..." She uses the bus's light to project the Mime poster onto the Eiffel Tower. "Voila! A homemade projector. Hey, Mime! Nice poster, don't you think?"
The Mime sees the poster projection and gets furious. He jumps into the air and slices the Eiffel Tower in half with his sword. The Tower began to fall down and sends the screaming pedestrians running away.
Knowing he can't escape in time, The Mime mimics a shield just as it crashed, and he struggled to hold it up.
"Yes! Remember, he can only mime one thing at a time." Lady Scarlet reminded Cat Noir.
"So he's cornered. Good thinking, M'lady," Cat Noir uses his staff to grab the Mime's hat. "Yoink!" He retracts his staff.
Lady Scarlet grabs the hat and looks inside, grabbing the photo from the pocket. She gives the hat to Cat Noir before tearing the photo, releasing the Akuma.
"Oh no you don't you filthy Akuma!" Lady Scarlet catches the Akuma with her yo-yo. "Gotcha!" She releases the purified Akuma. "So long, butterfly. Miraculous Scarlet!" She throws the shoebox into the air.
The magical ladybugs return everything back to normal and reverts The Mime back into Fred just as it reaches sunset.
"What happened? How did I... get here?" Fred was confused.
"Pound it!" The Miraculous duo fist-bumped.
Sarah went up to Fred and put a hand on his shoulder. "I'm so sorry I didn't believe you, Fred."
Chris came up to Fred as well. "I'm sorry too. I was so desperate to perform that I lied to you about where we were meeting up."
Fred gets up and grabs his hand from Chris's hand before putting his hat on and putting his hand on Chris's, shocking him. But nevertheless, he put his hand on Fred's.
"If it were me, I wouldn't have forgiven him. He put Fred through a bad process of getting Akumatized." Lady Scarlet folds her arms and frowns at Chris.
"Yeah, but it's all good and well, right?" Cat Noir shrugs.
Lady Scarlet shrugs as well. Then she opens up her yo-yo and puts her hand inside. Soon enough she brought out an object that looks like a ladybug-themed amulet colored black with white spots and a white orchid spot with a moderate amethyst dot in the middle spot. The colors resemble Mime's outfit patterns.
{A/N: Just imagine the charm as 'The Mime's colors. This is just a visual.}
Lady Scarlet went over to Fred and handed the charm to him. He gazed at it with amazement.
"This charm should prevent you from being Akumatized again." Lady Scarlet stated.
"I'll make sure to have more positive thoughts then." Fred promised.
Just then her Miraculous beeps.
"Your earrings!" Cat Noir warned her.
"Thanks, kitty. Better get going." Lady Scarlet got out her yo-yo.
"Such a shame. I could have been your date in the play tonight. Just you and me." Cat Noir flirted.
Lady Scarlet smiled softly, "I would have liked that too. But maybe another time. Sound good?" She offered.
Cat Noir smiled and nodded, "Yeah."
Then Lady Scarlet swung away.
The Eiffel Tower lights up stunningly just then while Cat Noir smiles in the direction his partner went.
Hawk Moth's Lair
"The show's not over yet, Lady Scarlet. You just wait. There's still a last act to come when you least expect it." Hawk Moth says before his window closes.
Eiffel Tower
The Mime show is about to start.
Alya, who is in the front row, waves at Marinette, who came over and saw down next to her.
"Adrien, over here!"
Marinette turned to the voice and saw Lily and her parents sitting in the front row. Lily was standing up and waving her hand. Marinette turned to where Lily was looking and saw Adrien coming over.
"Hey Lily, good to see you." Adrien greeted as the two sat down next to each other.
"Good to see you too, Adrien." Lily greeted back.
Marinette frowns and crosses her arms like a spoiled child.
Meanwhile, the show begins.
Lily leans on Adrien's shoulder and puts her hand on top of his while he wraps an arm around her shoulder.
Marinette's face was red with anger as she watched her obsession and her rival together.
Random Sidewalk
"I don't know which I found worse. The fact that b1tch showed up hanging all over Adrien's arm or her getting cozy with him!" Marinette hissed, clenching her fists.
"You so need a chill pill right now." Alya advised.
"I so do not! They were sitting together Alya!" Marinette put her hands on Alya's shoulders. "Together!"
"Okay, she was sitting next him, but so what? They're close friends, so why wouldn't they sit together? Plus, it's not like you made a move to ask him first." Alya crossed her arms.
Marinette groans. "I wish I did..."
Alya chuckles. "Girl, I can't with you sometimes. Let's go home."
The girls then walked away down the sidewalk.
Outside of Agreste Mansion
"I had an amazing time tonight." Lily smiles at Adrien.
"Me too." The blonde blushes.
Lily gives Adrien a kiss on the cheek. "Goodnight." She closed the car door with the window down.
"Goodnight." Adrien waved at her just as the car drove away.
Plagg peeks out of Adrien's jacket. "Awww, how sweet! You're involved in a love triangle!" He snickers.
"No, I'm not!" Adrien denied.
"You're in love with Lady Scarlet, but you can't deny you have some feelings for Lily, don't you?" Plagg asked.
"Yeah..." Adrien smiles, then sighs, "And that's the most conflicting part..."211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7RAc5MiKg
