The Troublemaker

is a derivative of "Troublemaker", and is an episode of Belle and Drew's Adventures.

Script:
Scene: Laura Marche's suite at Le Grand Paris. Jenny Koehler heads to the door while checking off numbers on her to-do list with her clicking ballpoint pen. She opens the door to see Butler waiting outside.


 * Jenny: Mrs. Marche would like his breakfast brought to him on the back of a polar bear. Could you arrange that for me, please?
 * (Inside the suite, a soccer ball thrown by Laura is seen, and his snail, Gary, runs after it.)
 * Laura: (heard inside) Fetch!
 * Butler: Uh...I'll see what I can do, Miss Jenny. Will zat be all?
 * (While Butler speaks, Jenny's phone buzzes, and she takes it out and picks up the call.)
 * Jenny: (speaking into the phone) Yes, a red-eye flight would be preferable. Laura's snail, Gary, hates flying in the daytime.
 * (Karin Hanamiya bursts into the room.)
 * Karin: Jenny, I found the perfect way to market his new album! He's gonna be a guest on a reality TV show!
 * Jenny: (to Karin, as she starts to follow him) I really don't think Laura will be okay with it. (to the phone, as Butler leaves) No! No, I wasn't talking to you. Confirm that flight. (in Butler's direction, unaware he is gone, while Gary wanders out into the hall with the soccer ball in his mouth) Thanks a lot. (into the phone) Uh, I'll call you back. (ends the call) Karin, wait!
 * (Laura is sitting on top of a grand piano, which also has several soccer balls on it.)
 * Laura: Jenny, did you remember to order those macaroons for Gary?
 * Jenny: Of course; I'm taking care of that right now, Laura. (writes Laura's request down, and goes to answer knocks at the door)
 * Karin: (to Laura) Your album's gonna go platinum and wait 'til you find out how!
 * (Jenny opens the door to see Mayor Bourgeois, with Gary on a leash next to him.)
 * Mayor Bourgeois: I'm sorry, Miss Jenny, but you cannot allow your snail to just roam around the hotel by itself.
 * Jenny: (bringing Gary inside) I'm sorry, Mr. Bourgeois. (Jenny's phone rings and she speaks into it) Yes, what— (tries to control Gary)
 * Laura: (to Karin) What?! What is this trash?
 * Jenny: Thanks, Mr. Mayor. (heads back to Karin and Laura)
 * Laura: (standing on the piano, holding two soccer balls) You want me to be a guest on Rocker Wants a Wife?! (throws down the balls near Karin) There's nothing rock 'n' roll about that show. My fans will never watch it!
 * Karin: Of course they will, Laura! This is how marketing works these days.
 * (There is another knock at the door, and Jenny's phone buzzes again before she goes to answer the door, Gary still in tow.)
 * Laura: No way! I'm a genuine rock and roller, Karin!
 * Butler: (outside the open door) I am so sorry, Miss. There were no polar bears available. Would a pony do instead?
 * Laura: A real artist, with real talent! I can dig being a guest on a reality show, but it's gotta be music to my ears, you know? Quality!
 * (Jenny listens to the arguing behind her, until her phone buzzes again, and she gestures Butler to wait while she picks up the call.)
 * Jenny: (to Butler, while she has her phone to her ear) A pony is fine. Uh, can you throw an assortment of macaroons in too, please? Thanks. (shuts the door, and speaks into the phone) No, not you. Don't worry; there won't be any ponies, just a snail. (goes back to Laura and Karin, who are fighting)
 * Karin: Deal with it, Laura! You will be a guest on that show, whether you like it or not!
 * Laura: Oh yeah? And how're you gonna make me do that?
 * Jenny: (to the phone) I'll call you back. (ends the call)
 * Laura: I think we're done here, Karin. (Jenny approaches Laura, and whispers something into his ear) Of course! Now that's what I call a rock 'n' roll idea. Jenny, you're the best! What would I do without you? (kisses Jenny on the cheek)

Scene: Elina & Rose Boulangerie Patisserie. A crowd of cheering Laura Marche fans is gathered outside. Inside, Cynthia is introducing a television program.


 * Cynthia: (seen in the program) Welcome to Fill My Shoes! You're joining us live in a new episode, and our guest today is the one and only Laura Marche!
 * Laura: (sings while playing air guitar) ♫ Rock and Roll, yeah! ♫
 * Cynthia: Filling the shoes of...a baker!
 * Laura: Yo, Rockers!
 * Cynthia: And a big thanks to Elina Shimmer for having us here in his bakery, the best in Paris, I might add. (gestures Elina to come over)
 * Elina: (chuckles nervously, before speaking on-screen) Uhh...hello!
 * (Karin, Jenny and the camera crew are off to the side. Rose approaches them holding a tray of croissants.)
 * Rose: Excuse me, would you like some hot croissants?
 * (Karin takes a croissant as he, the camera crew and Jenny walk away. Belle walks up next to Rose, who looks worried and turns to her daughter.)
 * Rose: I'm not sure it was such a good idea to let them film the show here, sweetie.
 * Belle: Of course it was, Mom. Laura asked specifically to come here! You realize how good this is gonna be for the bakery? And Dad's gonna become an instant celebrity!
 * Rose: Well, for a celebrity, he looks pretty nervous.
 * (Laura chops a slab of dough with his hands. Tiky watches the broadcast from Belle's room while eating a macaron.)
 * Elina: No, no! You have the right energy, Laura. (seen in the program) You just need to be gentle. (nervously waves at the camera) Haha, hi! (turns to Laura) More like this.
 * (Meanwhile, Jenny is trying to keep Gary on a leash while she watches the shoot. She fiddles with her pen.)
 * Jenny: Calm down, Gary.
 * (Belle notices how nervous Jenny is, and leans in.)
 * Belle: Are you okay, Miss Jenny?
 * Jenny: Yes, yes, it's just, this show was my idea, and Laura's putting all his trust in me and I just hope everything goes well today.
 * Cynthia: So Laura, how does it feel to fill the baker's shoes today?
 * Laura: It's awesome! Check out this edible guitar I made from scratch. This is so rock 'n' roll! (mimes playing his bread-guitar while singing to the tune of "Smoke on the Water") ♫ Flour, eggs and butter! ♫
 * (Jenny chuckles.)
 * Rose: So, Miss Jenny, what's it like working with a star like Laura? He seems so cool!
 * Jenny: Oh yes, he's...wonderful— (catching herself) Uh, I mean...yeah, he’s awesome.
 * (Belle gives her a "know-it-all" look.)

Scene: Drew's room. Drew and Gag watch the broadcast, where Elina and Laura are singing together to the tune of "Smoke on the Water".


 * Elina and Laura: ♫ Flour, eggs and butter! And fire in the oven... ♫
 * Gag: (gulping a piece of Camembert) Oh, come on! Are you going to finally put cheese on that bread or what? Since when do you have any interest in this show?
 * Drew: The show's being shot at Belle's.

Scene: Elina & Rose Boulangerie Patisserie. Elina and Laura are still singing, with Cynthia in between them.


 * Elina and Laura: ♫ This is the baker's rock 'n' roll! ♫
 * Laura: Yo, Belle! My favorite little lady, come over and rock out with us!
 * (Belle hesitates, but Rose gestures her to go over to Laura. Belle goes over to him, nervously waving to the camera along the way.)

Scene: Drew's room. Drew is smiling raptly while watching the program, as Gag rises up next to him.


 * Gag: Mmm-hmmm-mmm-hmmm!

Scene: Elina & Rose Boulangerie Patisserie.


 * Laura: It's so cool that we get to spend the day together. Belle's really talented, Cynthia; she did the artwork for my latest album, and she's only in high school!
 * (The cover of Rock Giant appears on-screen briefly.)
 * Cynthia: Wow, impressive! A true family of artists. A talented young designer and a gifted patissier. By the way, what're you gonna bake for us today, Elina?
 * Elina: Uh...how about some chocolate croissants? (to Belle) Can you grab a bag of flour please, dear?
 * Belle: Sure, Dad! Ah! (knocks over the bag of flour. All of the flour ends up on Laura.) Uh oh.
 * Laura: Hey, look! I look like a ghost! Rock and Boo-Hoo! (laughs)
 * Cynthia: Making pastries is obviously no piece of cake! Stay tuned; we'll be right back after this commercial break!
 * Laura: (hugs Cynthia) Oooh!
 * Cameraman: And cut!
 * Cynthia: Hi, Karin! (shakes Karin's hand)
 * Karin: Cynthia! (pats Cynthia's back) This is starting out very well.
 * Belle: Sorry, Laura!
 * Laura: No sweat, Belle.
 * Jenny: (to Belle) Could you tell me where the restroom is, please?
 * Belle: (pointing) Upstairs!
 * Jenny: Thanks. (leads Laura away)
 * Elina: (to Belle) Come on. We have some cleaning up to do.

Scene: Belle's room. Laura and Jenny are heard talking as they approach up the stairs that lead to Belle's room.


 * Jenny: Are you sure it's up here?
 * (Tiky hides behind the computer monitor.)
 * Laura: She said upstairs.
 * (Laura and Jenny enter Belle's room through the trapdoor.)
 * Jenny: Wait. This isn't the restroom.
 * Laura: This must be Belle's bedroom. Cool. Hey, there's a sink! (heads over to Belle's vanity with the sink)

Scene: Elina & Rose Boulangerie Patisserie. Karin and Cynthia are looking at Karin's tablet.


 * Karin: Our ratings are sky-high!
 * Cameraman: Cynthia, we're back in thirty seconds!
 * Cynthia: Where's Laura?
 * Belle: In the restroom upstairs.
 * Cynthia: Thanks. (to Karin and the camera crew) Follow me; we'll improvise.
 * (Cynthia, Karin, and the camera crew go up to Belle's room.)

Scene: Belle's room


 * Laura: (gazing at Belle's creations, while Jenny wipes his shoulder with a paper towel) Hey, look! Man, Belle's got some serious talent. (spots something else) Hey! (goes over to a poster of himself and mimics his pictured posture) I know this guy. Rock on, Laura!
 * Jenny: We've got to hurry, Laura.
 * Laura: (glances around) Yeah, yeah. Relax, Jenny. (turns to see the many pictures of Drew on the wall)
 * (Cynthia, Karin, and the camera crew are now in the room.)
 * Cameraman: He's here! Come one, start shooting. In three, two, one.
 * Cynthia: (on the air) And we're back on the air with Laura Marche filling the shoes of a baker. Let's see how this rockstar cleans off all that flour. (walks over to Laura and Jenny while "waving" the audience to come along)
 * (Jenny continues to clean Laura, who is distracted by the pictures of Drew.)
 * Laura: Hey, there are more photos of this dude than of me! I think the baker's daughter's got a little crush. (winks)
 * (The camera shot zooms in on the photos of Drew.)

Scene: Drew's room. Drew is still watching the broadcast with Gag. He looks mildly shocked as he sees the pictures of him in Belle's room.


 * Gag: Looky there. Another secret admirer.

Scene: Elina & Rose Boulangerie Patisserie. Belle is cleaning up.


 * Laura: (heard on TV, while the view holds on the pictures of Drew) Aw, teenage love is so sweet! Makes me wanna write a song.
 * Belle: (sees the Drew pictures on TV and gasps) No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, (runs for the stairs)
 * Rose: Belle?
 * (Belle bolts up the stairs, exclaiming continuously, while Tiky emerges from her purse)
 * Belle: no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
 * Tiky: Keep calm, Belle; it's not a big deal.
 * Belle: Of course it is! This is a major disaster! I told everyone in school to watch today's show, including Drew! He's gonna see all those photos and figure out I'm in love with him! (stops midway up the stairway to her room)
 * Tiky: But isn't that what you want?
 * Belle: No! Not like this! (climbs the stairs into her room, and enters)

Scene: Belle's room. Cynthia is trying on Belle's pink floppy hat, while Laura holds up a pink dress of hers.


 * Belle: (frantically) What're you guys doing in here?!
 * Jenny: I'm sorry, Belle; I couldn't find the restroom.
 * Laura: Hey Belle, you want me to sign this poster of me? (points to poster)
 * Belle: (seen on the program) No! I just need everyone to leave! (to the cameraman) And you, stop filming! (to Jenny) Jenny, do something!
 * Jenny: (also on the program, firmly addressing everyone in the room) You heard the lady.
 * (Jenny starts herding everyone towards the door when the live footage suddenly goes down.)

Scene: Drew's room. The live footage gets cut off of Drew's TV and is replaced with a car commercial.


 * Female commercial voice: (on Drew's TV) Security and comfort... (Drew looks at Gag, surprised)

Scene: Belle's room


 * Cameraman: Hey Jenny, you just cut us off the air!
 * Jenny: (sees the cable she broke on the floor under her foot) Sorry! (bends down to pick up the cable)
 * Belle: No, Jenny, get them out of here first, please!
 * Cynthia: Jenny, give me that cable! We're live!
 * Laura: (sneezes) Choo! Jenny, was that flour organic? You know I'm allergic to the non-organic flour.
 * Cynthia: Jenny, the cable!
 * Karin: Jenny, do you realize we've got no picture?
 * Laura: Jenny, do you have a tissue? Ah-ah-ah-choo!
 * (Everyone's shouting starts to echo in Jenny's head.)
 * Belle: Jenny, no! Get out of my room first!
 * Karin: Jenny, what is going on?
 * (Jenny looks at everyone as she clutches her pen.)
 * Laura: Jenny, you said this gig would be easy as pie!
 * Jenny: (losing her composure) STOP!! That's enough!! All of you, back downstairs, now! Out, out, out!! (Seeing how angry Jenny is, nobody protests; they all just go downstairs without Belle.)
 * Laura: Hey! (Jenny closes the hatch. With everyone out, Belle faints)

Scene: Burkhardt residential hallway. Jenny continues to push everyone out of the living room, toward the stairs down.


 * Jenny: Out, out, out!!
 * Karin: What do we do now?
 * Jenny: (angrily) I'll meet you downstairs in five!
 * Karin: But Jenny...!
 * Jenny: (shoves her clipboard at Karin) In! Five! (slams the door)
 * (Everyone proceeds downstairs to the bakery. Laura starts to follow along, but stops and glances at the living room door. Jenny remains alone in the living room and slumps down against the door.)

Scene: Mystic Moth's lair. The window opens as Mystic Moth senses Jenny's negative emotions.


 * Mystic Moth: A devoted assistant losing her cool. Such a fortunate opportunity! (transforms a butterfly into an demon) Fly away, my little demon, and evilize her! (The demon flies into Paris.)

Scene: Burkhardt living room. Jenny sits clutching her pen. The demon flies in and enters her pen.


 * Mystic Moth: (from his lair) Troublemaker, I am Mystic Moth. You've always been the faithful one, taking care of other people and solving all their problems. Today you are free of that burden. From now on, you shall be the creator of all their problems.
 * Jenny: Sounds like a plan, Mystic Moth. (stands up, raises her pen, and clicks it, triggering her transformation into Troublemaker)
 * (Troublemaker is in the Burkhardt residential hallway. Troublemaker, semi-transparent, phases through the living room door, she clicks her now skull-topped pen, making her solid again, and picks up her discarded clipboard.)
 * Troublemaker: So, what's next on my to-do list? Oh, I know; taking care of Laura!
 * (Troublemaker rips the clipboard in two and drops it, laughs evilly, and clicks her pen, causing her to become transparent again, before phasing down through the floor.)

Scene: Belle's room. Belle is sitting on the floor.


 * Belle: (anguished) I'll be a laughingstock at school, online, all over town! And worst of all, Drew will never talk to me again! This is a disaster, a disaster, a disaster, a dis... (buries her face)
 * Tiky: Just breathe! Everything's gonna be okay!
 * Belle: It is?
 * Tiky: Well yeah! Besides, it's too late anyway. The show's live!
 * (Belle lets it sink in and becomes anguished again)
 * Belle: OH NO! This is a disaster... (falls over) ...a disaster, a disaster, a disaster...!
 * Tiky: Oh, Belle.

Scene: Elina & Rose Boulangerie Patisserie. Laura and the program crew are preparing to resume the broadcast.


 * Karin: All right, everyone back to work. Chop chop!
 * Cynthia: Okay, people; Laura, Mrs. Shimmer, get back to your place. We're live in five, four, three—
 * (Rose shoots an angry look to Elina.)
 * Elina: (to Cynthia) Wait, wait, wait! We'd rather not continue.
 * Karin: What?! Have you lost your mind?!
 * Rose: We're not comfortable with your cameras going everywhere and invading our privacy! Our daughter is upset because of your show. We won't allow that!
 * Karin: The ratings are sky-high. There's no way we stop the show now, right, Laura?
 * (Laura sneezes. Troublemaker drops into the room behind Rose, unseen, and runs her fingers up Rose's back before retreating.)
 * Karin: (to Rose, taking Laura's sneeze as affirmation) Aha! See?
 * Rose: (gasps in shock) Oh! How dare you?!
 * (She grabs a peel and skillfully twirls it around in a martial-arts defensive maneuver with yelps, finishing by aiming it at Karin)
 * Rose: I demand an apology!
 * Elina: (to Rose) Darling! What happened?
 * (Troublemaker drops in again unseen, swats Karin on his behind with a guitar, and tosses the guitar into Elina's hands.)
 * Karin: (to Elina) Hey! Are you looking for trouble?!

Scene: Belle's room. Elina is seen on-screen, chuckling and waving at the camera nervously.


 * Elina: (turns to stare Karin in the eye, on the air) I could pretend that this isn't bothering me, but now you've gone too far, mister!
 * (Belle approaches the screen with Tiky.)
 * Belle: Dad?

Scene: Elina & Rose Boulangerie Patisserie


 * Rose: (to Karin, as she wields the peel) Don't even think about laying a finger on my husband!
 * (Troublemaker descends yet again, drapes a cable over the kneeling cameraman's foot, and covers the still-sneezing Laura with a flour sack.)
 * Cynthia: (startled) Huh?
 * (Troublemaker knocks Cynthia over, toppling Laura as well. The frightened boom-mic woman leaps into Karin's arms. Troublemaker invisibly knocks over the cameraman.)
 * Laura: (sitting on the floor, flour-covered again but out of the sack) Oh! What's happening? A ghost! It's a ghost! Where's Jenny?! Jenny!
 * (Troublemaker slams the bakery rear door shut, then phases through a wall to access a control box, clicks her pen to re-solidify, and presses the control box button. In the bakery, seen on the broadcast, security shields slide down over all the windows and main entrance.)
 * Karin: (on the air) Sure your bakery ain't built on an ancient cemetery?
 * (Troublemaker continues to throw things, and invisibly slams the rear door again, tosses more items, and runs a mixer, before phasing down through the ceiling, clicking her pen to solidify, and draping an arm over Laura.)
 * Troublemaker: Hello, Laura.
 * (Laura recoils in shock, and turns back to face Troublemaker.)
 * Laura: Whoa! Who are you?! Where's Jenny?! Jenny!!
 * Troublemaker: (on the air) There's no more Jenny to deal with all your problems, Laura! From now on, there's only Troublemaker! (clicks her pen twice, briefly turning transparent) And I'll make your life nothing but problems! (cackles)
 * (Outside the bakery, the fans flee in panic.)

Scene: Belle's room. Belle and Tiky are still watching the program.


 * Belle: Jenny?
 * Tiky: That poor Jenny was trying so hard to help everyone that she became a perfect victim for Mystic Moth!
 * Belle: Shooting the show here definitely wasn't a good idea!
 * [Transformation Sequence]
 * Belle: Tiky, spots on! Yeah! (Belle transforms into Ladybird.)

Scene: Drew's room. Drew and Gag have seen the mayhem on TV.


 * (On the TV, Troublemaker cackles.)
 * Drew: It's time for Dog Noir to cook up a plan at the bakery!
 * Gag: Don't forget to save a baguette for me. I just love Camembert on sourdough!
 * Drew: You're just a floating stomach!
 * [Transformation Sequence]
 * Drew: Gag, claws out! (Drew transforms into Dog Noir.)

Scene: Elina & Rose Boulangerie Patisserie


 * Troublemaker: Here comes trouble again, Laura! (starts toward Laura)
 * Elina: Not in my bakery! (tries to grab hold of Troublemaker, but she passes through him, sending him tumbling, and then kicks Laura backward to the floor)
 * Laura: Jenny, stop! It's—It's not—ah-choo!—rock and roll!
 * Troublemaker: I hate rock and roll, Laura! I only love chaos, and you'll be my number one hit!
 * (Cynthia and the camera crew approach and resume broadcasting.)
 * Cynthia: (on the air) You're witnessing the arrival of a new supervillain, live—aah!
 * Troublemaker: (knocks away Cynthia, on the air) Show's over, people! (knocks out the camera, disrupting the broadcast, and cackles)

Scene: Outside Elina & Rose Boulangerie Patisserie. Melissa Kimyona is reporting a news flash.


 * Melissa: I'm in front of Burkhardt Bakery, where a new villain just appeared!
 * (Dog Noir descends on his staff, and approaches the sealed bakery entrance.)
 * Dog Noir: Hey everyone, let me take care of this. It'll be a piece of cake! (kneels down and struggles in vain to lift the security shield covering the bakery entrance)
 * (Inside the bakery, Troublemaker hears Dog Noir straining, and phases down through the floor. Outside, Dog Noir is knocked backward before Troublemaker phases up through the street. Dog Noir raises his right arm... preparing to use his Dogaclysm... or not.)
 * Dog Noir: Dogacly—!
 * Troublemaker: (interrupts Dog Noir by grabbing his raised arm) So you wanna play rescue? No one's gonna be rescued today!
 * (Troublemaker hurls Dog Noir, who shrieks, into the side of a van parked across the street, making a deep dent in the vehicle from Dog Noir's back. Ladybird's yo-yo then catches Dog Noir's leg, and he is lifted through the air, again shrieking, to Belle's balcony.)

Scene: Belle's balcony. Dog Noir has landed in Belle's canvas deck chair, while Ladybird stands on the railing.


 * Ladybird: Right on time, Dog Noir.
 * Dog Noir: (in relaxed repose) Good to see you, Birdaboo. Looks like we're gonna break bread today, huh?
 * Ladybird: Stop calling me "Birdaboo"! (jumps down off the rail, and heads toward the bedroom access) Follow me!

Scene: Belle's room. Troublemaker takes several knitting needles out of a drawer, and practices throwing one.


 * (Ladybird enters through the skylight, followed by Dog Noir, who turns and closely views the collection of class photos and pictures of Drew next to Belle's bed.)
 * Dog Noir: Oh wow! That's a lot of pictures!
 * Ladybird: (extends her arm to deflect Dog Noir's gaze) We can take the grand tour later, Dog Noir.
 * (Dog Noir's ears react to the sound Troublemaker makes from below. She hurls four knitting needles upward toward the heroes, and Dog Noir, forewarned, blocks the needles by raising Belle's mattress, which reveals more photos of Drew underneath. Ladybird quickly pushes the mattress back down before Dog Noir can see the photos, sending him tumbling down to the main floor.)
 * Ladybird: (joining Dog Noir) Sorry!
 * (Troublemaker throws Belle's parasol at the Supers. Ladybird flings her yo-yo at Troublemaker, but the villain dematerializes momentarily to dodge it. Troublemaker then hurls Belle's chaise longue at the duo, which Dog Noir catches and tosses behind him amidst a flurry of yet more photos of Drew, fallen from the chaise. Dog Noir removes a photo from his face, and sees Drew's image smiling at him. Ladybird quickly grabs the photo away.)
 * Ladybird: (annoyed) I said later, Dog Noir!
 * (Troublemaker throws a large trunk at Ladybird from behind, knocking her over. Dog Noir takes a swing at Troublemaker with his staff, but she dematerializes before it hits her. She then phases down through the floor to the living room below, where she jumps back up through the ceiling, appearing in Belle's bedroom again right behind Ladybird. Solidifying, she reaches for Ladybird's earrings, which Dog Noir sees.)
 * Dog Noir: Look out!
 * (Dog Noir splits his staff, and trips Ladybird, causing her to fall away from Troublemaker's reach, then strikes Troublemaker back, causing her pen to go flying across the room and settle on the floor.)
 * Ladybird: The demon's inside the pen!
 * (The three combatants race across the room to retrieve the pen, Troublemaker between the heroes. All lunging at the floor, Troublemaker grabs the pen first, followed by Ladybird, then Dog Noir. Troublemaker clicks the pen to dematerialize.)
 * Troublemaker: Touch me if you dare! (phases down through the floor, leaving the heroes on the floor, on their stomachs)
 * Dog Noir: What're we gonna do? I can't touch her with a ten-foot pole even if I wanted to!
 * Ladybird: Her strength is also her weakness. In order to touch us, she must become touchable herself!
 * (The duo stand up, Dog Noir still grasping Ladybird's hand from the attempt to grab the pen. Ladybird clears her throat impatiently.)
 * Dog Noir: Oh, uh, there you are. (puts Ladybird's arm back down at her side, and lets go) All right!
 * (The duo runs toward the hatch down to the living room.)

Scene: Burkhardt living room. Ladybird and Dog Noir arrive down the stairs from Belle's bedroom, on the lookout for Troublemaker.


 * Ladybird: Be careful! She's probably hiding somewhere in this room! If she wants to take our Miraculous, she can't be untouchable.
 * Dog Noir: And if we can grab her, we can also grab her pen.
 * Ladybird: And capture the demon! But we'll have to act fast!
 * (Troublemaker phases down through the ceiling, landing between the duo, and, solidifying, kicks Ladybird away. She then grabs Dog Noir's right arm and twists it behind his back, so she can grab for the ring on his clenched fist. Ladybird wraps her yo-yo tightly around the two of them, but Troublemaker dematerializes, escaping the grip of the string, which then falls away loosely before springing back to Ladybird. Troublemaker re-solidifies and kicks Dog Noir away then dematerializes again and jumps through Ladybird, solidifying again to jump off the wall and leap at Ladybird. She pins Ladybird to the floor, holding the heroine's arms down with her left arm, while she takes Ladybird's left earring with the other.)
 * Troublemaker: (holds up the earring to examine it) You've already lost half the battle, Ladybird!
 * Ladybird: No! (starts to slowly detransform into Belle)
 * Mystic Moth: (from his lair) Excellent, Troublemaker!
 * (As Ladybird whimpers anxiously, her detranformation progresses gradually at her wrists and ankles, as well as the left side of her mask. Dog Noir sees what is happening, and gasps before rising to his feet.)
 * Dog Noir: Dogaclysm!
 * (Dog Noir lunges shrieking in grim determination toward Troublemaker, but she dematerializes, causing him to pass through her and tumble to the floor beyond. In the process, she loses her grip on Ladybird's earring, and it drops to the floor.)
 * Troublemaker: (angrily, as she phases down through the floor) I had it!
 * (Ladybird quickly reaches over and retrieves her earring. Her left eye by now fully exposed, she re-attaches her earring, and recovers her lost transformation.)
 * Dog Noir: (holding his still-active Dogaclysm) That was a close call. Certainly not how I dreamed we'd share our secret identity. Oh no, not like that!
 * Ladybird: It'll have to wait, at least until we kick Trouble's butt and Mystic Moth! Lucky Charm! (receives a broken plate) A broken plate? (glances around for something to see by her Lucky Vision, but sees nothing) That's strange; I don't see how to use it!
 * Dog Noir: Maybe losing an earring weakened your power.
 * Ladybird: (running to another part of the room) My power has to be working! (looking again, spies a tube of super-glue on the floor) It is working! (picks up the tube of glue) Sticking time!
 * Dog Noir: (skeptically) Seriously?

Scene: Belle's room. Dog Noir bursts through the trapdoor, followed by Ladybird.


 * Dog Noir: (holding out his Dogaclysm with both arms as a policeman would hold a gun out) All right! We're comin' to get you!
 * Ladybird: (holding the glued-together plate) Be careful, Dog Noir! She could come from anywhere to get my Miraculous!
 * Dog Noir: (after a moment's further scanning the room) She's nowhere to be seen. I'll check on the roof. Stay here! (leaps up to the loft, and through the skylight)
 * Ladybird: (anxiously, too late to stop Dog Noir) No! Don't leave me here alone! I only have a plate to defend myself! (glances around fearfully)
 * (Troublemaker, cackling, phases down through the ceiling and solidifies. Ladybird leaps away, and, aiming for Troublemaker, throws the plate, which hits the wall and breaks again. Troublemaker pins Ladybird to the floor once more and grabs onto both of Ladybird's earrings.)
 * Ladybird: Stop!
 * Mystic Moth: (from his lair) Bravo, Troublemaker! Take her Miraculous!
 * Troublemaker: (tries to take Ladybird's earrings, but can't remove them, or withdraw her hands) What?!
 * Ladybird: (mock sympathy, as she grabs hold of Troublemaker's arms) Having some trouble?
 * Dog Noir: (sitting on the railing of the loft, playing along) Aw, my poor Birdaboo! Another supervillain fan has literally glued themselves to you. (holds up the tube of super-glue) Sorry to disappoint, but I'm the only one to stick to M'Lady! (jumps down to the floor)
 * (Troublemaker lifts herself and Ladybird up, and they struggle, whirling around as they do so. Dog Noir leaps over, grabs Troublemaker's pen, and pulls it away, breaking it apart in his Dogaclysm hand. The pieces fall to the floor, where the demon flies out.)
 * Troublemaker: (detransforming back into Jenny)
 * Jenny: No! (slumps down to the floor)
 * Ladybird: No more evil-doing for you, little demon. Time to de-evilize! (captures the demon and purifies it) Gotcha! Bye bye, little butterfly. (tosses the re-assembled plate into the air) Miraculous Ladybird!
 * (The Miraculous Wave tidies up outside the bakery, as well as inside it — prompting Laura, plus the hugging Elina and Rose, Cynthia and the cameraman, and Karin and the boom-mic woman, to cheer — and in the Burkhardt living room and Belle's bedroom.)
 * Jenny: (glancing around, confused) Wha...? What happened? Where's Laura?
 * Ladybird: (to Jenny) You're always so helpful, putting everyone before you. (kneels down, putting her hands on Jenny's shoulders) Let's worry about Jenny for a change. How are you feeling?
 * Jenny: (pauses to exhale) I'm fine. Thank you, Ladybird.
 * (Ladybird's earrings beep.)
 * Ladybird: Whoops! Gotta go! Rock and roll! (leaps up to the loft, then through the skylight)
 * Dog Noir: Rock and roll! (follows Ladybird)
 * (Jenny picks her pen up off the floor, and stands up, clutching her pen to her chest as she gazes upward in gratitude and sighs contentedly.)

Scene: Belle's balcony. Ladybird and Dog Noir jump up to stand on the railing, Ladybird spinning her yo-yo.


 * Ladybird: Whew! Well, that was a close call! Looks like you won't find out my true identity today!
 * Dog Noir: (warmly) I already know who you are.
 * Ladybird: (anxiously) Huh?!
 * Dog Noir: (leaning in) You're the girl of my dreams. (gazes coyly at Ladybird)
 * Ladybird: (giggles) Silly kitty!
 * Ladybird & Dog Noir: (fist-bumping) Pound it!
 * (Dog Noir launches himself away with his staff, as Ladybird swings away with her yo-yo, but comes around, lands on the roof behind her balcony area out of sight, and detransforms. Belle peers up — as Tiky rises into view — and chuckles at her kwami.)

Scene: Elina & Rose Boulangerie Patisserie. Belle enters through the rear door.


 * Belle: (rushes over to hug Elina and Rose, while Karin, on his phone, stands nearby) Mom! Dad!
 * Rose: Belle!
 * Elina: Are you okay?
 * Belle: I'm fine! I locked myself in the bathroom.
 * (Jenny steps inside through the residential door, and clears her throat.)
 * Karin: Jenny!
 * Jenny: (standing in the hallway, clutching her to-do list and pen) Hi, everyone!
 * Laura: (running up and hugging Jenny, startling her) Jenny! (Jenny drops the items she was holding) Oh, Jenny! (pulls back) I'm so glad to see you again without your supervillain costume! What would I do without you? You're the best! (again hugs Jenny, who hugs him back, sighing happily)
 * (Elina, Belle, and Rose, who wipes a joyful tear away, watch the embrace.)

Scene: Street outside Elina & Rose Boulangerie Patisserie, the next morning


 * Rose: (heard from inside the bakery) Have a nice day, sweetie!
 * Belle: (waves back as she emerges from the bakery) Bye, Mom! (runs to the crosswalk, and stops clumsily) Hanh!
 * Tiky: (from Belle's purse) Are you okay, Belle?
 * Belle: I will never persuade my parents to shoot a TV show at our house again!
 * Tiky: Not unless you want the whole world to know all your secrets!
 * Belle: I just need to stay on the down-low for a few days so everyone can forget all about what happened — especially Drew! (stands straight) Mmnh! (starts to cross the street, then hunches down into a "creeping" gait)

Scene: Louisville Middle School.


 * (Belle enters the building stealthily, sticking close to the wall as she does so. In the courtyard, Patient and Humility are standing by the bottom of the stairs, conversing. Belle discreetly creeps past behind them. Patient and Humility glance to their right when they hear something, but see nothing. Then Belle hides behind the doors to the girls' locker room when they swing open as Manatsu and Vivid emerge, talking to each other. Belle then cautiously creeps inside the locker room.)

Scene: Louisville Middle School girls' locker room. Belle continues her stealthy creep over to her locker.

THE END
 * (Belle opens her locker, and places her backpack on the upper shelf inside.)
 * Belle: (huge sigh of relief) Phew! Hopefully, he didn't see me! (shuts her locker triumphantly, only to be startled by Drew standing behind the door, waving at her)
 * Drew: Hey, Belle! (Belle screams) How's it going? After what happened at your place last night, I was worried that—
 * Belle: (interrupting Drew) Oh, so you watched the show, then! (laughs nervously) Well, uh, look...about what you saw on the show last night — the totographs, in my room—
 * Drew: You mean the photographs?
 * Belle: (assertively) The grotographs, exactly! (meekly) It-it's not what you think. (pauses) See...I'm really into fashion, and, umm...
 * Drew: (leaning forward with a piercing, impish glare) Are you lying?
 * Belle: No! I'm so not into you—I mean, sure, I'm interested in you, but, um, not in that way; well, you know, ha-ha-ha-ha...ha ha!
 * Drew: (chuckles) Just teasing. (placing his arm over her shoulder) I understand; don't worry. I've got used to having lots of fans...and, photographs of me everywhere — even in the most unlikely places.
 * Belle: (laughs) As if someone would have a picture of you under her bed, right?
 * Drew: (takes his arm away) Yeah. I was wondering; since you're into fashion so much, you could come watch my next photo shoot!
 * Belle: No way! For you?—peal—meal— For real?
 * Drew: Honestly, it's pretty long and boring, but if you were there, it would definitely be more fun! Whaddaya say?
 * Belle: (very excitedly, throwing her arms up) Oh wow! Yes! (containing herself) Thank you, Drew.
 * Drew: I'll keep you posted, then. (starts to leave) See you later in class. (stops, and turns to Belle, causing her to gasp) I'm glad to have you as one of my fans. (walks to the door and opens it, then looks back and waves, smiling, before leaving)
 * Tiky: (emerges from Belle's purse) Relax, Belle. You can breathe now!
 * Belle: (in the clouds) He invited me to one of his photo shoots! (throws her arms up)
 * Tiky: (flies up) Yeah, that's awesome! And, you even managed to get some normal sentences out, too!
 * Belle: Oh, come on! That's not funny!
 * Tiky: You're totally right. It is not funny.
 * (After a pause, Belle and Tiky laugh, and touch heads.)
