Juliet watched the TV Broadcast while eating.

"The stone beings are scattered all over Paris, and for the time being, they are showing no signs of movement." A variety of pictures of the stone beings are shown on the TV. "Police have cordoned off the area."

Juliet stared at the silver earrings. Tikki had said she was the chosen one.

"We won't stop until we find a way to get these people back to their normal selves, but for now, we're not making much headway." Mr. Bourgeois says.

Juliet scrunched her face, walking away from the table.

"Paris is relying on our new guardian angels, Lady Scarlet and Chat Noir, to save us all. Our lives depend on them." Nadja continued.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Juliet quickly ran into the school washroom and put on the earrings. "Tikki?" Juliet asked worriedly.

She sighed in relief when the red kwami appeared. "I'm sorry for giving up on you, Tikki. Now that I've made a mistake, I-i can learn from it and fix it, right?"

Tikki nodded happily. "I knew you'd come around!"

"I mean, I can't just lay back and do nothing." Juliet smiled.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Oh, Juliet!" Sylvia exclaimed. "Did you see the new superheroes?!"

Juliet giggled. "Yeah, that red girl looked really cool."

Then, she noticed Ivan walking away furiously.

"Don't let the door hit you on the way out!" Chloe laughed.

"Why would you say that?!" Alya said, her arms crossed. "You're the real stoneheart."

Chloe scoffed. "So, I'm the one who broke 's dad's arm? Just because your lame footage of those superheroes was shown on TV, doesn't mean you have to get so high and mighty."

Alya steamed. "You little..."

"Oh no, she's angry! She's going to split her underwear and turn into a huge ugly monster!" Chloe mocked as Alya ran off.

Suddenly, a blonde boy appeared. Juliet stared at him in awe. "Who's that?" She asked. Sylvia squinted her eyes in order to get a closer look.

"Hey, Chloe!" He exclaimed.

Chloe's face lit up. "Adrikins! You came!"

Some other students ran up to him, excited to meet the model.

"Oh. My. Gosh. Adrien!" Sylvia squealed.

"Adrien?" Juliet thought for a moment. "Oh! Adrien! The son of Gabriel Agreste!"

Sylvia nodded rapidly. "He's the son of famous fashion designer Gabriel Agreste! He's the face of his brand, and super cute~" Sylvia laughed, sighing.

Juliet continued staring at the boy as Sylvia ran towards him. 'Gabriel Agreste is my idol too....' A slight blush dusted her cheeks. "Adrien, huh?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Juliet sat down alongside Sylvia, staring at Marinette's seat and sighing. No wonder Sylvia didn't like her. She was so quick to assume everyone's personality.

Suddenly noticing Adrien walk in, Juliet immediately sat upright, curiously watching the model. Sylvia noticed this, smirking.

"This is your seat, Adrikins." Chloe states. "I saved it just for you. Right in front of me!"

Adrien has a slight deadpan look. "Wow. Thanks, Chloe." He walks over to his "assigned" seat and sits down.

A black boy sat beside him, using his phone. Finally, Adrien looks up. "I'm Adrien. You are..."

The boy looked up. "So, you're friends with Chloe, huh?"

Adrien looks confused, and then notices Chloe and Sabrina putting gum on Marintte's seat. "Chloe, what are you doing?"

Chloe giggles. "The brats that sat here yesterday need a little attitude adjustment. I'm just commanding a bit of respect, that's all."

Adrien gets up, with a doubtful face. "And why is that necessary?"

"Ah, you've got to learn about school culture, Adrikins. Watch the master."

After a few minutes, Marinette walks in. Adrien is poking at the gum on her seat. "Hey! What are you doing?"

Adrien gets up immediately, backing away. "Ah... it's not what it looks like." Chloe and her minion, Sabrina snicker.

Marinette sighs. "I get it. Good job, you three. Very funny."

Sylvia shook her head. "Poor guy..."

Adrien shakes his head. "Let me explain! I was trying to take it off!"

Marinette nods slowly. "Oh, really?"

Marinette gets a napkin and covers the gum with it as Chloe and Sabrina continue laughing. "You're friends with Chloe, aren't you?"

"Now do you see what I meant about respect?" Chloe asks, with a smirk.

Adrien sits down, crestfallen. Nino looks at him. "Why didn't you say it was Chloe's idea?"

The blonde shrugged in return. "Chloe and I are childhood friends, since I was young. I know she's not perfect, but I can't throw her under the bus." He frowned. "She's my only friend."

Nino smirked. "Well, it's time to make some new friends. I'm Nino." Adrien hesitates for a moment, surprised, but then the two handshake.

Juliet frowned. 'He deserved more friends than Chloe.' She thought. "That girl didn't even let him explain... being friends with someone doesn't make you like them."

"Yeah... Guess that bi-" Sylvia cleared her throat. "I mean, bluebell can't tell that with her dumb self."

Juliet watched as Sylvia stood up and followed suit, as the two girls walked towards Marinette.

Marinette snarled at the sight of them. "What do you want?"

Sylvia sighed. "Adrien didn't actually put that gum on your seat. You need to stop assuming things about people and actually listen to people for once. You can be so single-minded."

Marinette scoffed. "You're the single-minded ones! I was just standing up for myself!"

Juliet's eyes twitched. This girl was getting on her nerves. "You weren't standing up for yourself, you were accusing someone without proof. We were here when it happened, and you weren't."

Marinette growled. "I bet you two were in on it too! Why else are you defending him? Just leave me alone!" The bluenette spluttered.

Juliet sighed, sitting back down along with Sylvia. "You were right. She is super single-minded. She wasn't even here when it happened!"

Sylvia shook her head. "That's Marinette for you. A people pleaser, constantly needs validation from others- as you saw yesterday, and rude."

~~~~~~~~~

Ms. Bustier began taking attendance for the class. "Agreste, Adrien?"

"You're supposed to say 'present'." Nino whispered.

"Present!" Adrien exclaimed, standing up. All the students laugh. Adrien rubs the back of his neck nervously, as he sits back down and shares a fist-bump with Nino.

Juliet rested her head in her hand. "That's so cute..."

"What's so cute? You crushing on the model boy?~" Sylvia smirked, moving closer.

Juliet's eyes widened as she shook her head frantically. "No! Of course not, he's just cute, that's all..."

"Bruel, Ivan?"

Suddenly, Stoneheart appears and breaks down the door. "Here! Mylene?"

Chaos erupts, as Stoneheart grabs Mylene and Ms. Bustier's attempts to create a single file line. Students run out, including Juliet and Adrien.

"Daddy, the monster's back!"

"Put us down, Ivan!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Juliet runs into the locker room. "Turns out Stoneheart is back, and he's captured Mylene... and Chloe?"

Tikki gasps. "Alright, transform Juliet!"

"Tikki, spots on!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Stoneheart is holding Mylene and Chloe captive, while taking them to the Eiffel Tower.

"You have no idea who you're dealing with. My daddy, the mayor, will bring in the police, the army, the entire cavalry!" Chloe yells.

"Don't forget the superheroes!" Chat Noir comes in, hitting Stoneheart with the staff. However, the monster grows bigger. "Oh no. My bad."

Chloe rolls her eyes. "Ugh. Super incompetent, you mean."

"You wanted the cavalry?" Stoneheart asked Chloe. "Well, here it is!"

The stone beings from the news begin to run amok, surrounding Chat Noir. "Seize him!" Stoneheart yells.

Chat Noir tries to dodge them, as Stoneheart walks off. "Watch out!" Mylene shouts. "Ivan, where are we going?"

"To deliver a message. Then we'll be brought together forever by a pretty black butterfly." Stoneheart revealed dreamily.

Chloe cringed in disgust. "Ugh. All this lovey-dovey stuff is making me sick.

"Don't worry, little monster. I'm gonna take care of you, too." Stoneheart threatens. Chloe recoils in fear.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Alya runs toward where the battle is taking place, hiding behind a green trashbin and recording the fight between Chat Noir and the stone beings.

Chat Noir ducked as a car flew at him. "If you can hear me, Lady Scarlet, I could use a little help!"

"What's she waiting for?" Alya asks confusedly.

Lady Scarlet appears on scene, clumsily sticking a landing with her yoyo. She watches the fight between Chat Noir and the stone beings. 'I want to help but... I feel frozen...' Lady Scarlet watched on in fear, trembling.

One of them knocks over a car and it is about to hit Alya, but Cat Noir throws his stick to save her. Alya gets trapped. Alya screams as she is trapped between a car and a wall. Due to being distracted by Alya, a stone being kidnaps Cat Noir.

"Let go, you rockhead!" Chat Noir exclaims as he struggled in the monster's hold. Lady Scarlet watches in shock as he is carried away.

"HEEELP!" Alya screamed.

"Not this time, Juliet." She mutters to herself. Lady Scarlet closed her eyes, then opened them, determined. It was time to fight!

Lady Scarlet pulls the car with her yoyo, freeing Alya. "Go and find somewhere safe, away from here." She states. "It's dangerous."

The bug heroine follows the trail of stone beings, avoiding them. She then throws Chat Noir's stick to him. He extends it, jumping out of the stone being's hand. Lady Scarlet grabs him with her yoyo towards the lamppost she was on, hanging him upside down.

"Oh?" She giggles at his state. "Sorry I was late."

"M'lady, have I ever told you you turn my world upside down?" He joked.

A slight blush dusted the heroine's face. "Well, I better fix that, huh?" She notices the stonehearts closing in. "Uh oh! We better go!"

The duo run across the rooftops, trying to escape the stone beings.

"Hey, aren't we going to take care of 'em?" The cat hero asks.

Lady Scarlet uses her yo-yo as a phone, most likely showing the news with helicopter footage of the original, to track down Stoneheart. "If we want to save them all, we have to go to the source, right?" She pointed. "That one!"

The said monster is on the Eiffel Tower, still holding Mylene and Chloe hostage. The police are surrounding him, though not doing much.

"I demand my daughter's safe return!" Andre Bourgeois demanded.

"Daddy!!" Chloe said in response.

"You know what? You're welcome to her!" Grunting, Stoneheart threw Chloe away (like the trash she is).

Chloe screeched while everyone watched in fear.

Chloe puts her hands together, as if she was praying. "Help! I promise I'll be nice to everyone, say please and thank you all-- AH!" Just as she is about to hit the floor, Lady Scarlet catches her. "I didn't promise."

"What?" Lady Scarlet said confusedly. 

Chloe reunited with her father, hugging Mr. Bourgeois. "My little princess..."

"We're clear to attack!" Roger announced.

"No, don't attack!" Lady Scarlet warned. "It will make it worse!"

"I have a new plan, unlike you! Move aside and let the pros do their thing. You've already failed once!" Roger retorted. He pointed an accusing finger at Lady Scarlet.

Lady Scarlet looked down, ashamed. "I did fail, but..." She looked up. "You're wrong!"

Chat Noir looked at her. "Lady Scarlet?"

"I may have failed once, but you don't realize that we all do! Besides, without me, she wouldn't be here." She protested. "And without me and Chat Noir, you wouldn't make it. Your arm is broken! Now, hear us out. Okay?"

Chat Noir looked on in awe. He smiles, proud of his partner.

Stoneheart suddenly started coughing, then spit out a swarm of Akumas. They form Hawk Moth's face, as Stoneheart falls to the ground.

"People of Paris, listen carefully. I am Hawk Moth." He said.

"Hawk Moth?" The hero duo say in shock.

"Lady Scarlet, Chat Noir, give me the Ladybug and Cat Miraculous now." Hawk Moth demanded, as the police helicopters now surrounding the Akumas sending his message. "You've done enough damage to these innocent people already!"

Lady Scarlet balled her fist, scowling. She walked forward, clapping slowly. "Nice try, Hawk Moth, but we know who the bad guy is. Let's not reverse the roles here. Without you, none of these innocent victims would be transformed into villains." She points a finger up at him. "Hawk Moth, no matter how long it takes, we will find you, and YOU will hand us YOUR Miraculous!"

She then uses her yoyo to vault herself onto the Eiffel Tower, then captures and purifies every akuma. Hawk Moth yells in rage.

Chat Noir and the other civilians watch in awe and wonder.

Lady Scarlet breathes heavily, and smiles. She accomplished this, because she didn't give up. "Let me make this promise to you," She began. "No matter who tries to harm Paris, this city that I love... Lady Scarlet and Chat Noir will do everything in our power to keep you safe!"

She opens her yoyo, and a busload of purified butterflies fly out.

Lady Scarlet watches them in awe.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Agh! That's the problem with superheroes. They're too... heroic!" Hawk Moth raged. "Stoneheart, they're trying to take your loved one away from you. You must snatch their Miraculouses so they will be powerless against you!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Stoneheart agreed. "Okay, Hawk Moth." The butterfly on his face disappeared.

"Help me!" Mylene exclaimed.

"You'll never take Mylene away from me!" Stoneheart declared. He began climbing the Eiffel Tower. "Come to me, my stone beings!"

Chat Noir looked at his partner worriedly. "We're surrounded! What do we do now? We can't attack him."

"Yes, but we already know where his akuma is, right?" Lady Scarlet reminds him.

"In his clenched fist." Chat Noir answers. "The one he's holding Mylene with. So..."

"We know he's in love with her." Lady Scarlet gasps. "That's it! We don't separate Stoneheart and Mylene, we bring them closer together!" She put her two index fingers together slowly, to show him what she meant.

"They're made for each other! They just don't know it... yet."

She began swinging towards the Eiffel Tower.

"Ugh. Not really following you, but guess I better trust you. Something tells me that this is how it's gonna be from here on out." Chat Noir followed after her.

The superheroes finally reach the top of the tower. Stoneheart is swatting away a helicopter. Mylene looks around fearfully. "Help! I'm scared of heights!" She shouts.

"Everything will be alright, Mylene!" Lady Scarlet assured her. She sighed.

Stoneheart roars, making the helicopters retreat. Chat Noir notices the stone beings. He quickly rolls away from one trying to get him, as he takes out his staff.

"How are you planning to get them closer than they already are?!" Chat Noir yells.

"With my special power! Lucky Charm!" She exclaims, receiving a parachute. "Haha... I guess we are literally on the top of the Eiffel Tower..."

Chat Noir screams as he flies through the air. "You sure you know what you're doing?" He says as he lands on a part of the tower.

"I will soon..." She responds, thinking. She then grabs Stoneheart's hand with her yoyo. "Chat Noir! The akuma, get ready!"

She starts pulling his hand and until Mylène's lips are connected with Stoneheart. Stoneheart lets go of her in shock.

Mylène screams, and with a stroke of luck grabs on to his finger. Cat Noir grabs the akumatized paper, and hits it up with his staff. Lady Scarlet grabs the paper, ripping it.

"Yes!" Lady Scarlet cheers. "No more evil-doing for you, little akum- huh?" She notices Stoneheart turn back into Ivan, and he begins falling. She jumps down to rescue Mylene. "Chat Noir, you save Ivan!"

"Cataclysm!" The cat hero activates his special power. He uses it on part of the Eiffel Tower, making that part fall. He slides on it, rescuing Ivan. Lady Scarlet smiles, then catches Mylene and the akuma in the air.

"Gotcha!" She pulls her parachute out to soften her fall. She releases the akuma from her yoyo, it is purified. "Wow... Adieu, little butterfly." She smiles.

Lady Scarlet looks behind her, noticing the Eiffel Tower. "Ha... Paris's landmark." She says. Chat Noir laughs nervously. "I mean, it was rusting already!" He objected in defense for breaking the structure.

"Well, I think there's a way to fix the damage." Lady Scarlet threw her lucky charm into the air. "Miraculous Lady Scarlet!" She exclaimed. Magic ladybugs went around, fixing the eiffel tower and other damage. 

"Woah... are you seeing what I'm seeing?" Chat Noir asked in awe. Lady Scarlet's eyes sparkled. "Yeah, it's beautiful and amazing, it's totally... miraculous!" She beamed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"This is just the beginning, Lady Scarlet. You and Cat Noir may have won this battle, but I will win the war. I will get your Miraculouses. I will get the absolute power! And then my secret dream will come true!" Hawk Moth announced.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lady Scarlet walked up to Ivan and Mylene. "I think you two have things to talk about." She pointed out. Ivan looked embarrassed. "Oh, uh... I... uh..." He stammered.

"Maybe you should read the lyrics to Ivan's song, they're really nice." The heroine handed the paper to Mylene.

She quickly read over the lyrics, blushing a bit. "Wow, it really is beautiful. It's a shame you can't hear them when you scream. I mean, when you sing." Mylene commented.

"It was scary, wasn't it? Is that why you left?" Ivan inquired. "I'm sorry, I'll be gentle." The two shared a heartfelt hug.

Lady Scarlet held a hand to her cheek. "Aww! They're so cute together!"

"Just like us." Chat flirted, reaching over to her.

Lady Scarlet blushed, looking away. "Wh-whoa, we aren't quite there yet, are we?" She giggled. "See you soon, chaton!"

Chat Noir sighed dreamily. "Can't wait, m'lady." And with that, Chat Noir bows and makes his leave.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Juliet got out of her car, Sylvia walking up to her. "Dang girl! You are rich, huh?" Sylvia voiced.

Juliet laughed nervously. "I'm not that wealthy... besides, I don't like flaunting it like that."

Sylvia blinked. "You are literally wearing a Chanel 19 Handbag." She noted, gesturing to her black and gold purse.

Juliet shrugged innocently as they entered the school courtyard. "Did you hear about Lady Scarlet and Chat Noir? Lady Scarlet was such a girlboss when she made that speech!"

Juliet smiled at the compliments. "Yeah, I suppose she was."

"And Chat Noir's flirting! Honestly, I wish that was me." Sylvia said the last part quietly, Juliet giggled.

As she entered the class, they noticed Chloe calling out Marinette for sitting in their seat.

"Uh, you're in the wrong seat. Go on, get lost!" Chloe reminded.

"Again, Chloe? It's becoming sort've petty..." Marinette trailed off.

"Don't think you should be talking, Dupain-Cheng." Chloe sneered.

Juliet frowned. Chloe reminded her of someone, her friend from before she was homeschooled. She quickly stood up.

"What are you doing?" Sylvia asked confusedly.

"Finally speaking up." Juliet stated. "I don't think you should talk either, you knock-off Barbie." A few students snickered.

Chloe scoffed. "Knock-off Barbie?! What's that supposed to mean?"

"It means that no one else is putting up with your crud anymore, Chloé, so take your attitude and go on, get lost!" Juliet retorted. The class began laughing.

Chloe looked around, fuming. She huffed, angrily taking Marinette's old seat along with Sabrina.

"Wow! That was so cool, Juliet!" Sylvia praised.

Juliet blushed. "Thanks. I just hate snobby people like her." She narrowed her eyes at Chloe and Sabrina.

"Ugh, Sabrina is such a doormat. She always follows what Chloe says, like some pet!" Sylvia sneered. "She has no personality outside of doing Chloe's homework."

Juliet frowned. "Poor her. She's probably being manipulated or something."

Adrien then entered the classroom. He glanced at Marinette apologetically, even putting his hand up to wave- but Marinette looked away angrily.

"Gosh, she won't even hear him out." Juliet noted.

"Marinette is too stupid to hear anyone out." Sylvia rolled her eyes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It begins raining, so Juliet brings out a transparent umbrella. Sylvia clings to the girl. "I have to walk home too..." The brunette sighed.

She noticed Adrien offering Marinette his umbrella. "Ugh. I wouldn't take it back if I were him..." Sylvia remarked. Juliet attempted to stifle her laughter.

The umbrella closes over Marinette's head, making the two laugh together. Juliet bites her lip. "You wish you were in her place instead, hm?" Sylvia whispered.

Juliet blushed. "We haven't even talked!"

Marinette drops her bag, marveling. "Uh-huh!... see you to...mo... tomo... Haha! Whoa, why am I stammering?" She sputtered.

Plagg peeked out of Adrien's shirt and looked at him. "First day of school and we already have two lovebirds." He quipped. Adrien shook his head.

"Whatever. She's just a friend. Oh... a friend..." Adrien blushed, smiling as he walked down the steps of his new school.

Juliet watched him, feeling a bit jealous. Sylvia sighed. "Well, I guess that's the end of this day. It was... interesting." She said boredly.

Juliet sighed. "Yes, yes it was."
