The Mime

[Scene: The Streets]

Scarlet Beetle returns home from a mission. He reaches his home and detransforms back into Marin.

"Phew! That was a close save.", Marin said. "What you and Kitty did for Arlo today was very cool, Marin!", Tikki said.

"You think? I, at least, would've liked to do more, but...", Marin said. "Marin! Arlo's here!", Sabine called from downstairs.

"Don't worry, Ms. Dupain-Cheng, I'll just head up.", Arlo yelled out, also from downstairs. "You didn't exactly wait very long to tell me the big news. Hide Tikki, quick!", Marin said.

Arlo quickly came up from Marin's trap door. "Dude, you will not believe what just happened to me! So Scarlet and Kitty had just saved a bunch of workers from a supervillain! There were like a gazillion reporters waiting to interview her and... that's when it happened!", Arlo said.

Arlo eagerly handed his phone to Marin. Marin pressed play, and it showcased Scarlet Beetle and Kitty swooping in to save a child in distress.

"Hey! Aren't you Arlo, the guy who writes the blog about us? The... Scarletblog!", Scarlet Beetle asked. "Uh... yeah!", Arlo answered.

Kitty Noir, unable to contain her admiration, chimed in, "Oh my gosh, your work is absolutely mind-blowing! It's beyond awesome. Please, please keep it up!"

Arlo's face turned a shade of crimson as his superheroine crush showered him with praise. He could hardly believe his luck.

Suddenly, both of their Miraculous emitted a familiar beep, interrupting the moment. "Your earrings and ring!", Arlo pointed out.

"Ah, thank you for reminding us! We better go now. Bug out!", Scarlet Beetle declared, gracefully swinging away, while Kitty Noir swiftly disappeared into the distance.

The video came to an end. "Uh... that was... super...", Marin began, struggling to find the right adjective.

"Cool, right? Scarlet Beetle and Kitty Noir actually know about me! They know about my blog! And, oh my goodness, Kitty thinks it's awesome! Awesome! Awesomeee!", Arlo exclaimed, his excitement contagious. Marin couldn't help but chuckle at Arlo's infectious enthusiasm, replying, "Yeah, that's... awesome!"

"Lemme go grab your laptop!", Arlo said, going back inside. "You're right, Tikki, I think it made him a little happy.", Marin said to his kwami.

"Can I see the video?", Tikki asked. "Okay, but fast.", Marin replied.

The phone slips out of his hand, but he grabs it. "Whoa! You thought I was gonna drop it, didn't you?", Marin said.

He aims his finger at the check mark. Unfortunately, he misses, pressing the X and deleting the video.

"Video deleted?", Tikki said. Marin gasped in horror.

"I didn't just do that! Tell me I didn't just do that!", Marin panicked. "You didn't just do that.", Tikki said, hesitantly.

"Ahhh!", Marin screamed, and fell to his knees. "Okay, you did just do that, but the least you didn't drop it!", Tikki pointed out.

"Oh, I really screwed up this time! Arlo's gonna kill me!", Marin said. "It's not the end of the world. I'm sure Arlo will understand, uh, he is your best friend!", Tikki said.

"You're right.", Marin said. Marin imagines what will happen if he tells Arlo he deleted the video, Arlo will get angry at him.

"Uh, on second thought...", Marin started. "Who are you talking to?", Arlo asked, coming out of Marin's trapdoor.
