Scene: Dupain-Cheng House. A video of Alya Césaire in Paris is being viewed.

Ok...An Akumatized person with the power of EGYPTIAN GODS! And you think that a base red ranger can beat him? NERP this is the debut of the ultra mode.

Alya: Don't blink now, 'cause we are live from Paris. Yo peeps, Alya here, bringing you the one and only Ladyblog. (Helicopter noises) Huh? What is that? (Ladybug flies by, hanging on to her yo-yo, tied to a helicopter. She drops a book.). Ladybug in action. Hang on 'cause we're going for a ride. (Alya runs over and picks up the book.) Freak out! What you got here is no ordinary book, it's a tenth grade history book. And I should know, 'cause I've got this very same book. Could our very own Ladybug be a high school student, (zoom out to reveal the Ladyblog website, which Marinette Dupain-Cheng and Zane is watching the video from) in real life? Whoa!

Marinette: I told you from day one Tikki, I'm a total klutz!

Zane facepalms.

Tikki: What's done is done; we can't change what happened. We can only move forward. Alya must not find out who you are. You know how persistent she can be with her blog totally dedicated to Ladybug.

Marinette: But how? Maybe I'm not cut out for this whole Ladybug thing.

Tikki: You are the chosen one, Marinette. It will all work out, trust me. Everyone has a past they can learn from. (Tikki types on the computer, bringing up a page on Egyptian pharaohs.) This will show you why.

Zane: An exhibition at the Louvre? On the pharaoh Tutankhamun? What does that have to do with her book and Alya?

Tikki: She must persuade Alya to go there with you, and make sure she brings the book. You'll tell her you found out something about Ladybug.

Zane: At the museum?

Tikki: You'll see!

Marinette: Well, I don't know how I'm gonna convince Alya to go to an Egyptian exhibit, much less convince her that I'm not Ladybug!

Tikki: She will be interested, and so will you. Promise.

Scene: Louvre. Alya, Zane and Marinette are going into the Louvre museum.

Alya: Can you believe it? All I gotta do is find to do who this history book belongs to and BAM, I figure out Ladybug's true identity! I'm so on this one!

Marinette: You really think you could figure out who Ladybug is from a textbook that every high school student owns?

Alya: Yep. 'Cause our school is the only school that uses that book! HA! So, all I gotta do is find out which girl in tenth grade lost her history book last week. There are forty-three girls, not counting myself--

Hol up, hol up, hol up...tenth grade?! BUT THEYRE IN COLLEGE!!!!!

Marinette: Forty-two! Not count you... or me.

Alya: (elbows Marinette) Hmm, yesterday somebody didn't have their textbook in class.

Marinette: (worried) Uh-- I left it at home. You know how I always forget my stuff.

Zane facepalms again.

Alya: Hmm... (chuckles) Just messing with you, Marinette. Of course I'll only drop you from my investigation when you bring your history book back to class.

Jalil Kubdel runs between Alya and Marinette carrying a folder full of papers. He pushes past them and trips, papers flying everywhere. His medallion falls, and he picks it up.

Jalil: It's not broken!

Alya: (annoyed) Uh, I'm okay too, thanks for asking.

Jalil: I'm sorry. Hey, you're in the same grade as Alix, right? I'm her older brother, Jalil Kubdel. So you're into Tutankhamun too? (looks up) Dad!
