At the photoshoot, Vincent was still photographing Adrien, but is soon displeased as he sees that the model now appears to be tired.

"No, no, no! The boy has eaten too much spaghetti! Ugh, we need more energy! More romance! We need...a girl!" Vincent proclaimed, rambling on till he saw Alya sitting against a tree.

"You! I need an extra!" The photographer exclaimed when he approached Alya, surprising her.

"Who, me?" Alya asked, pointing to herself to make sure he was talking to her.

"Sì! To pose with Mr. Adrien!" Vincent confirmed, making Alya smile brightly. This was just what she needed... or more like, what Marinette needed.

"You don't want me, I... uhh... I think I'm having an allergic reaction to this apple," Alya protested, just before throwing the apple away.

"I know jutht(just) the perthon(person) you need! Hold that thought!" the reporter exclaimed, as she faked a swollen tongue, before leaving behind a confused photographer.

Alya books it to reach Marinette, just as she lifted Manon up and placed her on the unicorn on the merry-go-round.

"They need an extra to pose with Adrien!" Alya exclaimed in excitement... and out of breath, sending Marinette into shock.

"What? Seriously?" Marinette asked, excitement filling her voice as she smiled brightly.

"Is that boy your boyfriend?" Manon asked, wondering why her babysitter was getting so worked up about a boy.

"What?! No, I mean, yes? No!" Marinette stuttered, trying to figure out a not complicated answer that the five year old would understand.

"Go on! What are you waiting for?!" Alya questioned, wondering why her best friend was taking so long.

"But, what about Manon?" Marinette asked, bringing up the elephant in the room. Oh... right.

But that doesn't stop Alya from wagging finger towards Marinette and gesturing her move aside. The designer followed to a tee, before Alya jumped onto the unicorn behind Manon.

"You take care of Prince Charming, and I'll take care of Miss Unicorn here. You don't know how to control her anyway," Alya said, while Manon found the new situation less than ideal.

"No way! Marinette's my babysitter!" Manon argued, not wanting to have Alya look after her.

"Trust me," Alya reassured Marinette before turning her attention back to the little girl sitting in front of her.

"Unicorns unite! Let's go to Rispa and find us some sad little village kids and grant those wishes! Yee-haw!" The reporter exclaimed, using her arms and legs to further emphasize her performance, enticing Manon.

"Yee-haw!" Manon repeated, joining in on the excitement. Marinette smiled and ran towards the photoshoot as the merry-go-round started up. But when she was a good distance away, she heard someone screaming.

She stopped in her tracks, turned around and saw Stormy Weather flying in the air above the park. The weather themed villain quickly fired an icy wind at the civilians, blowing them away, before surrounding the merry-go-round and encasing it in an ice dome, trapping Manon and Alya inside. The sub-zero temperature froze Manon's balloon, causing it to shatter in front of the two girls' eyes.

"Run!" A civilian shouted, causing Marinette to wake from her shock and run to a bench to hide behind to transform. Once she was sure nobody could see her, she opened her purse to let Tikki poke out her adorable head.

"Time to transform!" Marinette worridley exclaimed. Tikki flies out of her purse in a loop-de-loop as Marinette cries out...

"Tikki, spots on!" The designer exclaimed before she transformed into Ladybug, with somehow nobody noticing considering her hiding place wasn't the greatest.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, Stormy Weather lands in the park, and continues her rampage. She continued blasting the Mireille balloons, and causing everyone in the park to run away which interrupted Adrien's photoshoot, giving the model the perfect distraction.

He ran back towards the equipment boxes in the treeline outlining the park, where his bag sat among, hoping to get Plagg. But when he opened his bag up, he was shocked to see it empty.

"Plagg? Plagg!" Adrien called out, looking around to try and spot the little nuisance..

"I'm not here! I'm sleeping!" The mischievous kwami announced from one of the numerous equipment boxes, much to Adrien's fondness as he held up a piece of Camembert.

Immediately, the kwami smelt the stinky cheese and flew out of the box he was hiding in with unnecessary, but excited loop-de-loops. To Adrien's smugness, Plagg had taken the bait and was about to take a bite, but stopped when he saw Adrien's smirk.

"For your information, I can smell Camembert in my sleep. It's only one of my many talents," Plagg bragged, before taking the... delicious cheese from Adrien.

"Great, but there's no time to talk cheese!" Adrien exclaimed as he got back to his feet, eager to fight the newest akuma.

"Plagg, claws out!" The model called out, causing Plagg to be sucked into the ring, just as he was about to gobble up the slice of camembert. He was sucked into the ring, and Adrien transformed into Cat Noir.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ladybug had run out from her hiding spot, and was worryingly heading towards the merry-go-round.

"Why did I leave Manon? I should have never done that!" Ladybug griped, feeling guilty for not staying with Manon and Alya.

"No. Alya's right. She's in good hands. I must trust her," The spotted heroine realized. Manon could not be in safer hands at the moment.

She reached the frozen merry-go-round and stood in front of it, while Alya was holding Manon in her arms to keep her warm.

"I'll get you out of there!" Ladybug shouts to them through the ice. Alya nodded in response, right before Ladybug pulled out her yo-yo and threw it, letting it wrap around the ice dome.

She pulled on her yo-yo to cut through the ice. But the cord just slipped off of the dome and came back to her, bonking her on the head in the process, knocking her to the ground.

"Or not? On to plan B!" Ladybug remarked as she got back onto her feet and ran to the dome to reassure the two girls trapped inside.

"Don't worry, everything's gonna be okay!" The spotted heroin reassured, trying to keep them calm.

"Where is Marinette?" Manon wondered, looking around for her babysitter.

"She hasn't forgotten about you, Manon," Ladybug replied, crouching down to meet the five-year-olds eye level.

"How did you know my name?" Manon asked, displaying the super power every child had... noticing things adults normally ignore, much to Ladybugs nervousness.

"Ah! Uhh... Marinette told me! She's coming right back, I promise," Ladybug reassuringly stated, before she swung away to save the day.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stormy Weather was leaving the park, continuing to cause havoc with her lightning bolt blasts, and hovering in the air.

"Hey Ice Queen, what's with all the terrorizing?" A voice above Stormy Weather teased, annoying her enough to stop hovering and land on the ground. She looked around to see where the voice came from, only to see Chat Noir perched on the fence of the park above her.

"Why don't you pick on someone your own temperature?" Chat Noir continued from his perch, feeling confident like he normally does.

"My name is not Ice Queen! It's Stormy Weather!" The weather villain growled, angered that the hero wasn't respecting her power and her threat level.

He slid down the fence pole and landed on the ground a few feet away from her, spinning his belt-tail in his hand..

"Listen. I'm feline more generous than usual today. So cool down and we'll call it quits, 'kay?" Chat Noir offered, in a sort of flirty way in hopes to appease the villain... it didn't work.

Annoyed, Stormy Weather opens her parasol and fires a wind gust at Chat Noir, blowing him half-way across the city.

"Waaaaaahhh!" The cat themed hero cried out as he flew in the air, before finally landing in the street.

Feeling embarrassed, Chat Noir groaned in pain, just as Ladybug landed on the nearby street corner and ran to him.

"I thought cats always landed on their feet," Ladybug teased as she leaned down and offered him a hand to pull him up.

"Why thanks, my Ladybug, but I had it covered," Chat Noir said, as he got back onto his feet, dusting himself off and attempted to kiss Ladybug's hand. Surprised, she pulled her hand from his.

"No time for your childish charms, Chat Noir. But you're welcome," The spotted heroine said as she pushed Cat Noir back by his nose and placed her hands on her hips.

But they didn't notice Stormy Weather had approached them on a gust of wind and now hovering a few feet away.

"We should be expecting lightning storms like right NOW!" Stormy Weather proclaimed right before she lifted her parasol towards the sky, sending a lightning blast to darken the sky with storm clouds. A bolt of purple lightning then came right towards Chat Noir but Ladybug dived towards him to get them out of the way.

The two of them roll a ways away from their previous spot, and land in an awkward position. When the cat boy lifted himself up, they blink at each other in surprise, before Chat Noir grined in an attempt to smooth things over.

Ladybug merely got over her shock and turned his head and attention back towards Stormy Weather as she floated a few feet away.

"You just won yourself a catfight!" Chat Noir exclaimed as he got back onto his feet-Ladybug doing the same-before running towards Stormy Weather.

"Black ice!" Stormy Weather shouted right before she used her parasol to coat the street with ice, making Chat Noir lose his balance on the unexpected change. She then creates another wind blast, knocking Chat Noir, the cars lining the street and Ladybug backward, causing them to go flying.

With quick thinking, Ladybug used her yo-yo to grab onto a lamp post and held on as the wind tried to blow her away. She then spied Chat Noir in the chaos, about to be sent away by the wind and into the accumulating pile of cars behind them.

"Gotcha!" Ladybug shouts through the wind as she grabs Chat Noir's tail and holds onto her yo-yo string. A few seconds later, the wind suddenly stops, sending them crashing face first into the ground.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stormy Weather was continuing her mission of destroying the city, with a ring of powerful wind assisting by pushing cars out of the way...that is until she saw a screen with Mireille on it.

She blasted it with a smile before continuing on.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile the two heroes land a ways behind her.

"A little Chat Noir will take the wind out of her sails!" Chat Noir proclaimed before he was about to run towards Stormy Weather. But he is stopped when Ladybug grabs him by his tail to stop him from doing anything reckless.

"Whoa, kitty kitty. You better think before you leap," Ladybug chided before she let go of his tail, causing him to lose his balance.

"You got a plan?" Chat Noir said after getting his balance back. while Ladybug slyly smiled at him.

"Just follow my lead," Ladybug said before running to a building to her right, jumped up onto the wall, and then ran along the face of a building. Chat Noir soon did likewise on the other side of the street.

Soon enough, they were close enough that Stormy Weather heard the commotion behind her. Quickly looking to see what it was, she was annoyed to see the two heroes coming towards her.

They launched themselves off the buildings and straight at her, spinning their respective weapons as they did.

"Not you again!" Stormy Weather growled before she fired a wind blast at them, knocking them backward through the air, along with several vehicles.

They were sent back to where they started minutes before. Only this time, after they landed onto the ground, they had to dodge a multitude of falling cars. They managed to avoid all of them and catch their breath, only to look up and see a bus about to crash onto them.

Ladybug quickly grabs Chat noir to pull him close to her and uses her yo-yo as a shield, letting it cut a circular hole on the side of the bus, saving Ladybug and Cat Noir from being crushed to death. As soon as the danger passed, Ladybug stopped spinning the yo-yo, only for it to fall onto Cat Noir's head.

"Ow!" Chat Noir cried, as he rubs his head to alleviate the pain, sending an angry glare at Ladybug, making her giggle at his pouting face.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Over at the park, Alya was playing with Manon to keep themselves occupied, while firefighters are working to free them by hacking away at the ice dome.

"Lemonade, crunchy ice, hit it once, hit it twice, freeze!" Alya recited, as they played the corresponding hand game, only to stop when saying 'freeze' making Manon lose... again.

"Hey, no fair, you always win, uni!" Manon complained, right before the sound of ice cracking could be heard around them.

"What's that?" The five year old asked fearfully, the icicles above them grew longer as the temperature outside dropped.

"It's... the big goblin king! He ate too much and split his shirt! Wahahaha!" Alya exclaimed, trying to distract Manon before she playfully chased her out of the merry-go-round.

Only for them to stop as they heard the ice cracking above them again, causing them to look up and see the icicles growing longer.

"Wanna hear a story?" Alya asked nervously as she led Manon back to the merry-go-round.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the city, Stormy Weather landed on top of a rooftop, looking out at the discord she had caused with a smile. It was at this time that Hawkmoth decided that it was the right time to butt in.

But in reality, due to him using his power to empower the akuma enough to stop the elevator, it caused him to detransform. To say he was upset about hearing the annoying countdown beep Ladybug and Chat Noir usually did for the first time was an understatement.

With the mental note to never empower more akumas to that level again, he was now focused on his current minion. But when he reconnected, he was soon impressed with all of the chaos she had already caused.

"You showed them all who the real winner is, my weather girl. But now is the time for you to fulfill your part of the agreement. And here's my plan," Hawkmoth began, still sounding like a creepy psychopath, before explaining his 'glorious' plan.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Over with the heroes, Ladybug reaches up to the window of the bus and pulls it open, before moving out of the way for Chat Noir to extend his stick, holding onto it. She went out the window and landed outside the bus.

"Maybe she's got some anger issues?" Ladybug suggested as she the staff as a lever to help lift Chat Noir out of the bus, and land outside of it.

"Or she didn't pass her driving test?" Chat Noir supplied as they jumped off of the tipped over bus, and landed on the ground.

But before they could get any further, Ladybug's yo-yo started ringing. She pulled it out, and opened it, seeing that someone was calling her. And it wasn't just a random someone.

"Oh, come on. Not now," Ladybug griped.

"What is it?" Chat Noir questioned, looking over her shoulder to try and see what she was worried about. But she just pulled her yo-yo away from him to keep him from seeing her screen.

"Oh, it's nothing. Quick question, do you know how to speak English?" Ladybug asked, hoping that this black cat didn't know...

"Yes, as well as a few other languages," Chat Noir said with pride. Great... just great.

"Would one of those happen to be Italian?" Ladybug asked, hoping that her luck would give her that much.

"No, why?" Chat Noir questioned, wondering why his partner was asking so many questions just for a phone call.

"Uh, it's sort of private. Could you give me a few minutes?" Ladybug queried which Chat Noir nodded, allowing her to walk behind the bus, and open her yo-yo to receive the video call from Jim.

"Non potevi scegliere momento peggiore per chiamarmi, Jim! (You could not have picked a worse time to call me, Jim!)" Ladybug frustratedly exclaimed, effortlessly transitioning from French to Italian.

The reason why they know fluent Italian is because their grandmother on their dad's side was of Italian descent. She taught them how to speak it when she visited them when they were younger. Even when Marinette's family were visiting Arcadia for the summer, making a stop in the sleepy town for the time they were there.

"Fammi indovinare, attacco Akuma? (Let me guess, akuma attack?)" Jim replied, immediately seeing that it was Ladybug that answered.

"Sì, Chat e io stiamo affrontando un akuma meteorologico. (Yeah, Chat and I are in the middle of dealing with a weather akuma,)" Ladybug explained.

"Oh dang, quanto è brutto? (Oh dang, how bad it is?)" Jim asked, his big brother instincts kicking in, which he was proud of mind you.

"Fino al punto che potremmo avere un inverno senza fine. (Up to the point that we might have an endless winter,)" Ladybug griped. She would much rather talk to her brother over lunch/near bedtime than in the middle of dealing with an akuma.

"Wow, ho pensato che voi ragazzi avreste dovuto affrontare un akuma meteorologico ad un certo punto, ma sembra un po' troppo presto. Sei sicuro che voi due starà bene? (Wow, I figured that you guys would have to deal with a weather akuma at some point, but this seems a little too soon. Are you sure you two will be okay?)" Jim asked, feeling worried about his little sister. This akuma sounded like a challenge, so of course he was going to be worried, even if she could handle herself.

"Andrà tutto bene. Ti devo richiamare più tardi. (We'll be fine. I'll have to call you back later,)" Ladybug said, needing to get back in the game.

"Prometti di dirlo a me e a Tobes dopo? (Promise to tell me and Tobes about it afterwards?)" Jim asked, hoping that she would give the deats afterwards.

"Obiettivamente. Ci sentiamo più tardi, fratello! (Obviously. Talk to you later, brother!)" Ladybug exclaimed, knowing that she would tell them what happened.

"Parla con te più tardi sorella. Addio. (Talk to you later sister. Bye,)" Jim said, as he waved goodbye with a smile.

"Addio. (Bye,)" Ladybug replied, waving back at him before Jim ended the call. She then closed her yo-yo and put it back on her hip, before going back to Chat Noir.

But she was surprised to see him practicing a moonwalk.

"Uh huh, oh yeah!" Chat Noir said as he continued to moonwalk and went right past her, immediately stopping his shenanigans. When he stopped, he tripped on his belt-tail, but managed to catch himself before face planting into the ground.

Once he had his balance, he stood up straight and rubbed the back of neck out of nervous habit.

"Um, how much did you see?" Chart Noir asked, with a faint blush appearing on his checks. Had the mask not been there, Ladybug would see that the entire upper part of his face was a fire red.

"Not much, just the moonwalk. Why?" Ladybug asked, wondering why her partner... the boy who didn't seem to know the meaning of the word 'shame', or 'embarrassment'... was being so skittish.

"You have your secrets, I have mine," Chat Noir rebutled, crossing his arms, and looking away from Ladybug to avoid her gaze, knowing it'd make him talk if he looked into her eyes. He's that weak in his resolve when he's around her.

"Okay?" Ladybug said, seeing that he didn't want to talk about... whatever he was doing.

"Anyway, we should go and find Stormy Weather before she causes more chaos," The spotted hero pointed out before they ran off down the street.

But their attention was pulled away by the screen, which Stormy Weather had cracked earlier, when the villain appeared on it.

"Hello, viewers! Here's the latest forecast for the first day of summer," Stormy Weather announced before she stepped backwards and used her parasol to point at a map of France.

"Looks like Mother Nature had a change of plans. Summer vacation is officially over!" The weather akuma enthusiastically exclaimed as a giant snowflake appeared on the map.

"Already? But I look so good in a swimsuit," Chat Noir remarked, before he grined, much to Ladybug's chartian.

"The catsuit will do, thanks," Ladybug replied, smiling at him as it began to flurry around them.

"At least now we know where to find her," Ladybug said as she looked back at the screen.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Prepare for the worst weather in history!" Stormy Weather announced as the two heroes enter the KIDZ+ building, only to stop when Chat Noir sees a poster of Aurore.

"Hey! That girl reminds me of someone!" Chat Noir exclaimed, allowing Ladybug to put the pieces together as well.

"It's her! The akuma must be in her parasol!" Ladybug realized, before they continued running towards the filming studio.

They reached it, only to see it was locked.

"In Stormy Weather's world, it's Winter Wonderland FOREVER!" Stormy Weather continued from the screens flanking the studio doors.

Ladybug and Cat Noir then entered the studio, kicking down the door and running in. But they see no one there, only the camera playing....

"It's a recording!" Ladybug exclaimed, right before Stormy Weather cackled from behind them. They turned around to face her, just as she lifted her parasol up and fired a lightning bolt at a light. It fell to the ground towards the two heroes, and they dive out of the way to avoid being hit.

But all the lights go out in the building, making the studio pitch black as well. All while Hawkmoth was relishing his plan coming together, from the safety of his lair.

"This is all going wonderfully according to plan. Soon their Miraculous will be mine. Bring them to me!" The wannabe Doctor Doom demanded Stormy Weather before cutting off the link.

The akuma giggled to herself before running off, while Chat Noir got up from the ground and saw her escape with his night vision.

"Frosty the Snowgirl's getting away!" Chat Noir exclaimed as he looked over at Ladybug as she tried to find her way in the dark, only to trip on one of the fallen spotlights and fall to the ground.

"Oh, do I hear a damsel in distress?" The feline superhero asked as he walked towards Ladybug to help her.

"Some of us don't have night vision..."Ladybug remarked as she reached out into the darkness, only for him to grab Ladybug's hand.

"No need to bug out. Just trust me!" Chat Noir exclaimed as his green filled sight allowed him to lead the way towards the escaping villain.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, at the Place des Vosges, the snow flurry is getting worse, while Alya is telling a story to Manon as they sit in a Ladybug themed car on the merry-go-round.

"Then the cyclops monster picked the princess up in his hand and said, "Look into my eye!"" Alya said, making Manon laugh as she continued to tell the story.

"Then, gluck! She stuck a finger right in it!" The reporter said as the firefighters continued to try and break them out of the ice dome, but having no luck.

"As soon as she took a bite of the cursed potato, the poor princess fell into a deep, deep sleep." Alya said, right before an icicle breaks through the top of the merry-go-round.

"Hurry up, Ladybug..." The reporter said fearfully as she hugged Manon to comfort her.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back at the T.V. station, Stormy Weather was having a little difficulty finding her way through the dark. When Hawkmoth had concocted this plan, he failed to remember that his akuma didn't have the power to see in the dark.

So now, she was wandering blind to find the stairwell to the roof... while Chat Noir and Ladybug were trying to close in.

"Great, we lost her! What now?" Chat Noir questioned as he looked around, not seeing Stormy Weather anywhere in the dark. Even with his night vision, it did nothing when Stormy Weather was not around to be found.

"This is surprisingly familiar," Ladybug said, even though she couldn't see her own hand in front of her.

"What do you mean?" Chat Noir asked, looking at his partner.

"This is like a game of 'In the Dark Hide and Seek'. And I've played enough of it in my childhood to know how to find Stormy Weather," Ladybug explained, thankfully that she could help in this darkened environment.

"I... um... I've never played any version of 'Hide and Seek'," Chat Noir admitted, glad that the dark could hide his embarrassment.

"Really?" Ladybug questioned, not expecting that as his answer.

"Yeah. But let's just focus on this. What would you normally do?" Chat Noir deflected, not wanting to be the reason they were taken off task.

"Well we have an advantage with your night vision, but considering you can't see her, we use our other senses," Ladybug explained.

"Like, touch and taste?" Chat Noir slyly questioned, before pulling Ladybug closer to him, and leaned in till he was a few inches away from her.

"More like smell and hearing," Ladybug replied, pushing him away from her by his nose out of muscle memory.

"Haven't you noticed that Stormy Weather has a certain metallic smell to her? Almost like an electrical storm," The spotted heroin continued.

"Now that you mentioned it, you're right! And plus, her shoes were pretty loud when she was running out of the studio earlier," Chat Noir replied, bringing up an observation of his own.

"Exactly. So use those heightened senses of yours and find that typhoon of an akuma!" Ladybug exclaimed. A second later, they quieted down, trying to hear or smell where Stormy Weather was.

Their waiting was soon rewarded when they caught a whiff of a metallic smell nearby.

"I got something!" the spotted heroine exclaimed when she picked up the clue.

"Me too! She's... this way!" Chat Noir proclaimed, picking up the same smell.

"Lead the way!" Ladybug instructed, letting Chat Noir start running down the hallway towards the source of the smell. As they got deeper in the building, they were gleefully surprised to see/hear Stormy Weather clamber out of one of the numerous doors in the hallway.

"There she is!!" Chat Noir exclaimed when he saw Stormy Weather in front of them.

"After her!!" Ladybug shouted, causing Stormy Weather to turn away from them and run, heading towards an exit. With Chat Noir leading with his night vision, the two of them managed to follow her to the stairwell leading to the roof.

"Okay, that's enough! I think I can manage to–" Ladybug began as she was pulled up the stairs.

"Duck!" Chat Noir shouted, just before a fire extinguisher canister thrown by Stormy Weather narrowly missed Ladybug. But since she listened to the warning, she avoided the hit, covering her head just in case.

"--follow your lead on this one." Ladybug finished, before Chat Noir grabbed her hand again and led her to the exit. They finally reached the top of the building, hand in hand as Stormy Weather floated high above them.

"You airheads! You fell right into my trap!" Stormy Weather exclaimed before she opened her parasol and made a whirlwind appear, surrounding the building to trap the heroes.

Stormy Weather smiled at her handiwork while Hawkmoth once again re-established the mind link between the two of them.

"There's no way out! Party's over, fools!" Stormy Weather taunted from above.

"We're just–" Ladybug began, only to see Chat Noir still holding her hand. Annoyed, she turned to face him with a pout on her face, making Chat Noir nervously loosen his grip, letting Ladybug go.

"We're just getting started, Stormy!" Ladybug exclaimed, right before she pulled out her yo-yo and called for her...

"!" The spotted heroine shouts out as her superpower gives her...

"A bath towel? What am I supposed to do with this?" Ladybug questioned when the random object landed in her hands.

"Great. So, we're about to be obliterated, but... At least we'll be dry." Chat Noir remarked, trying to make things seem less bleak.

"Just hold your whiskers." Ladybug said as she wrapped the towel around her forearm and tucks the end into itself, while Stormy Weather was ready for her next attack.
