Horrificator

Tala: It's time for Horrificator.

[ Theme Song ]

Scene: Collège Françoise Dupont. Marinette's class is making a movie.

Adrien: Agent Smith, it's too dangerous! We must evacuate!
Mylène: You're suggesting we run, Officer Jones? After it devoured my family, my friends, even my beloved dog, Sniffles? Never! I won't run! I no longer fear it, I'm going to face it, then I'll- (Ivan looms over her in a monster costume) Waaaaah!
Nino: Cut!
(Mylène hides under the desk, scared)
Ivan: Sorry Mylène. (He takes off his monster mask)
Nino: Mylène! That's like, the tenth take, and we're only on the first scene!
Alix: Fourteenth actually. But who's counting.
Nino: Ughhh...
Mylène: I'm... sorry. I'm gonna do better on the next take, I promise.
Rose: Anyone want some tea?
Nino: You're playing a hero from the special forces. You're not supposed to get all freaked out!
Mylène: I know, but... that monster mask he's wearing is so... realistic and scary!
Ivan: Just big ol' me, Mylène. Nothing to be scared of!
Chloé: You ask me, he doesn't even need a mask! (she and Sabrina laugh)
Marinette: What a bratty snob!
Nino: Ivan, put the mask back on, you're playing the monster! And Mylène, we need you to stay in character!
(Ivan puts the monster mask on, causing Mylène to get scared)
Mylène: I need to sing my happy song, it always makes me feel better... (singing) Smelly wolf, smelly wolf, stinky breath and slimy--(bumps into Adrien) Ahh!
Chloé: And the Oscar for best pathetic scaredy-cat afraid of its own shadow goes to... Mylène! (laughs)
Adrien: Chloé, seriously?
Chloé: Yeah, so what?
(Mylène runs away, crying)
Marinette: Mylène! Anyone gonna go after her?
Ivan: Mylenè, wait! (takes his monster mask off and runs after her)

Scene: Collège's court. Mylène is sitting on a bench, sobbing. Ivan finds her and comforts her.

Ivan: Ummm... don't listen to those bozos. Easy to judge when they're not in front of the camera. You're doing awesome. Come back! I promise I'll roar more quietly.
(Mylène looks at him)
Ivan: (gives her a black skull pin) Here. It's from my favorite band, the Zombie Skull Crushers.
Mylène: Wow... (puts the pin on her hat) Uh, that's, uhh... really sweet of you, Ivan. But... they're right. I can't act to save my life... Excuse me (runs away, crying)

Scene: Hawk Moth's lair.

Hawk Moth: (His window opens) A film shoot... oh, yes. So many emotions. Some fake, yet others very, very real. (turns a butterfly into an akuma) Fly away, my evil akuma, and overpower this young, misunderstood artist...

Scene: Classroom. Nino is angry at Chloé for making fun of Mylène.

Nino: Epic, Chloé! Just epic! What are we supposed to do now without our leading actress?
Chloé: Who needs her, anyway? She was totally lame!
Ivan: You're lame! Mylène is crying her eyes out on the bathroom thanks to you!
Chloé: Me, lame?
Marinette: Hey, hey! Everyone chill out! You're right, Chloé is lame. But fighting isn't gonna bring Mylène back. I'm the producer, and I'm gonna do everything in my power to finish filming tonight!
Max: The deadline for the Parisian Student Short Film Festival is tomorrow evening, precisely 26 hours, 15 minutes and 14, 13 seconds from now.
Marinette: Thank you, Max! And we still have editing, post-sound, soundtrack...
Adrien: And who's gonna take Mylene's part?
Chloé: Um, me of course!
Alya: You haven't even read the script!
Chloé: Of course I have! The first scene anyway. I can even tell you that it ends with a kiss between Agent Smith and Officer Jones!
Marinette: (screams as she imagines Chloé and Adrien kissing) You wrote that?!
Alya: Hold up! (sees the script) I didn't write that!
Nino: Uh... I wrote it. It was just a little tweak. You know, to move the story forward.
Alya: What! You added at my script without even telling me? That's low!
Nino: Wait a minute! You mean our script!
Adrien: (sighs)
Rose: Juice? (gives him a glass of juice)
Adrien: Thanks Rose.
Chloé: Oh, who cares who wrote what? We've got to film this thing, right?
Max: She's right. Principal Damocles is only allowing us to use school until 6 p.m. sharp. Which leaves us 9 hours, 12 minutes and 12 seconds. 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6...
Marinette: (grabs Alya) Adrien and Chloé kissing cannot happen! No way!
Alya: It makes no sense story wise anyway. The main character's emotional journey...
Marinette: Hold on! (runs to where Adrien is) We can't let Mylène just leave just like that, it's... wrong! We all chose her to play the leading female role! And... we're all in this movie together! She needs our support. I'm gonna go find her and bring her back.
Chloé: Always trying to save the day, aren't you, Marinette? Good luck finding the filthy hole that scaredy-cat’s hiding in!
