(Scene: Hawk Moth's Lair/ Mayura's Lair)
"I knew this plan would work well." Gabriel said with excitement. "They completely forgot about Mayura, and they don't know that I carry the Peacock MIRACULOUS!" He stretched his fist out with eagerness. Ladybug and Cat Noir forgot about Mayura, and they didn't know that Hawk Moth was the one with the Miraculous. They thought Mayura was a separate villain. Since the identities of Ladybug and Cat Noir have been revealed, Gabriel knew exactly where to send Mayura. Nathalie had to act surprised around Adrien from here on out, since she didn't need "Cat Noir" knowing who she was. Adrien didn't really ever speak to his father anymore, and mostly stayed at Marinette's. He practically lived there.
When Marinette and Adrien made the big speech about their other persona, Alya recorded every second of it. She posted it to the Ladyblog, and views went from thousands to millions. Then, her video made it to international news centers. Marinette and Adrien were now famous; or well Adrien already was but now he is even more famous. Marinette's family bakery has made more sales than ever, and Adrien's Parfum is sold out everywhere. Little did they know, this identity reveal would bring horrible consequences.
Gabriel decided that he was gonna have Mayura send out a feather, and see what Ladybug and Cat Noir do. They haven't had to fight any crime since their reveal, and so they haven't transformed in a while. They haven't been out in public as their superhero selves, so they are going to get a lot more attention than usual. This could be a big distraction for the two, so Gabriel was gonna take advantage of that.
It's been a few days since their big reveal, and a new week of school is starting. Adrien has his bodyguard take him to Marinette's everyday, and he can't say no since Gabriel told him to do whatever. Adrien wakes up a hour early every morning; almost every morning, and goes to Marinettes.
(Scene: Marinette's Bedroom)
Adrien got out of his car and went inside the bakery. Her parents were always awake this early and usually expected him. "Hello!" He waved politely. Her parents both handed him a croissant and he headed up to Marinette's bedroom. "Hey M'Lady!" He woke her up. She jumped up and it woke up Tikki. "Hey Adrien." She said yawning. They've started a relationship with each other, since well why wouldn't they? They were in love with each other, just in the oddest way. Plagg came out of Adrien's shirt and greeted Tikki. Adrien sat in Marinette's chair and waited for her to get ready. "I'm gonna go take a shower." She told him. He nodded. He spun around in her chair looking around at her room, at all the pictures of him, all her designs; everything. He felt more like himself now that everyone knew who he was. He could finally act like himself as Adrien, and no one would bother him. Life seemed better for the both of them after the reveal. No more hiding, lying, and just stuff like that in general. Of course, they are always going to be followed, and asked questions, but that was just thing thing about it. He sat in the chair talking to Tikki and Plagg, and waited for Marinette to finish her shower. "We've never in 5000 years had a reveal like that!" Tikki said. "I never in 5000 years had a owner with so much Camembert." The Kwamis were still just as excited as everyone in Paris. It was Monday, and this is the first week where if something bad happens, they will have a reason to leave class. They could very open with transforming and talking about crime now. This will also be the first week they openly share the news about their relationship. Alya, Nino, Chloe; everyone, were still trying to figure out how they were so blind. Lila was even more angry than before, knowing that Marinette was Ladybug the whole time everything happened between them. "I'm back!" Marinette said happily. She felt free; fresh. They took their bags and walked to school together.

(Scene: Françoise Dupont High School)
They haven't been in public much since the reveal, let alone together. Everyone was snapping pictures and asking questions. Marinette tried to ignore it, but Adrien was proud to answer. They got to school and everyone went crazy. Chloe walked up and tried to persuade Adrien to walk with her, not Marinette. "Come on Adrikins! You know we are meant to be together." She was jealous. "I-I don't think so, Chloe." He held back. She tugged on him but he wouldn't budge. She gave up and stomped away. "That's ridiculous!" Alya ran up to Marinette and asked her to do a interview for the Ladyblog. "Please! Will you do a interview for the Ladyblog!?" Marinette said fine. "Fineee, meet me at my place after school." Alya tried to keep her cool, but she wanted to burst into a bubble of excitement. Some fans of Adrien followed him to school and snapped like thirty pictures. He turned around and saw it and suggested that he went into the school. "I think I should go ahead and go inside, people are following me." He giggled. Marinette told him to go on. Some time passes and peoples phones start to go off. "Huh?" Marinette picked her phone up and saw it was a akuma alert. "But- but they aren't any akumas? Hawk Moth is gone?!" She turned and looked up at Adrien and gasped. "OH MY GOD! WE FORGOT ABOUT MAYURA!" Adrien stood up and dropped his phone. "BUT-but why would they have it down as a akuma alert?!" He asked. Marinette shook her head. "I-I don't know.." The whole class were talking and in shock. Mrs. Bustier attempted to calm them down but it didn't work. Chloe got an idea, "Ok you two," She pointed at them. "If your really Ladybug and Cat Noir, you have to transform in front of everyone." She smirked. Adrien and Marinette didn't see why it would cause commotion, so they agreed. They walked in front of the classroom, and Mrs.Bustier backed up. They held each other's hand and said their lines. "Tikki, spots on." "Plagg, claws out." Right there, in front of everyone, stood Ladybug and Cat Noir. Chloe's mouth dropped. "I can't believe the whole time I was a Ladybug fan, I was fangirling over YOU!" Chloe sat down. Everyone stared at the two with no words. Seems like some people didn't believe it till they seen it. Alya also recorded that, and she saved it twenty times, she was not gonna lose that video. Ladybug and Cat Noir ran out of the classroom and tried to figure out what's happening."I don't understand, we defeated Hawk Moth, and Mayura can't send out Akumas." Ladybug said pacing the floor. "Why did we forget about Mayura! If we didn't forget about her we wouldn't of revealed out identities-" Then she remembered what Tikki said. Everything happens for a reason. "Either way, we need to figure out who has the peacock Miraculous." Cat Noir nodded. He pulled out his staff and saw that the "akuma" was at Marinette's house. "M'Lady- the akuma is at YOUR HOUSE!?" He was worried. "What- MY HOUSE?" She didn't even hesitate, she pulled him closer to her and pulled out her yo-yo. While they were in the air, people were again, snapping pictures and screaming at them. But now was not the time.
(Scene: Marinette's House)
They went to her house immediately and saw a very unexpected sighting. Mayura and Scarlet Moth stood right before their eyes. "SCARLET MOTH?" They both said at the same time, then looking at each other; puzzled. "Seems like you forgot about someone, Eh?" Scarlet Moth laughed. His plan was working all well. "Why? Why father, why?" Cat Noir was getting teary. It took him time, but he realized he is standing right before his father. "I already explained it to you, its for your mother." Ladybug yelled at Cat Noir, "NO! Don't get upset! He will akumatize you!" Scarlet Moth sent out another akuma but Ladybug caught it. She thought about it and figured out something. "Cat Noir, we have to leave them." He raised a brow. "What do you mean leave them?" She yanked his arm and took him to up to the balcony. "I think I figured out what they did." Cat Noir titled his head. "I think that he teamed up with Mayura, had her release a feather on him, turned him into Hawk Moth, then he akumatized Mayura, giving her the power to turn him into Scarlet Moth!" They would explain why we got the akuma alert. Cat Noir thought about it, and it did make sense. "Your very smart, you know that M'Lady?" She giggled. He was happy knowing she isn't getting annoyed at his humor and compliments. They went back down top the villains, with a plan, and knew exactly how to defeat them.
