Marinette smiles happily as she dances to a music video called, "Big Bang" by Clara Nightingale.

Don't you stop, dancing to the music.
Baby! Yeah, it's like a miracle.

Don't you stop, dancing to the music,
Music, oh, it's getting physical!

Don't you stop, dancing to the music.

Marinette tried to do some of her moves but somehow despite being very flexible and agile.

She fell on the floor as she was doing a flip.

Soon the music video ended, and the screen changed to show Alec.

Alec: And that was Clara Nightingale's hit single, "Big Bang" for us!

Getting up, Marinette sits in her seat and smiled.

Tikki flies over to the screen and looked at the screen very impressed.

"Wow! That girl is incredible!"

"I love her! She's totally passionate about her art!" Marinette

Meanwhile Alec talks to Clara, who is dancing while he speaks to her.

Alec: Clara, in just a few short months you've become an international sensation with your ultra-unique singing and style.

Apparently, you even sing and dance in your sleep! Do you ever stop?

Clara smiles as she moves Alec out of the way and began to dance and sing.

Never, you see.
Dancing and singing are everything to me.

And I'm happy to share the joy of song and dance
To the amazing people of France!

"See that, Tikki? She's a true artist!" Marinette said in awe.

Alec: You've come to Paris to film the video for your next song, which is gonna be titled, "Miraculous!"

Marinette gasps in shock.

I really admire and adore
the Gotham heroes, Ladybug and Chat Noir.

An homage to them I wanted to pay
Because they inspire me every single day!

Marinette shrieks in delight.

"She's gonna be doing a song about me! I mean—Ladybug! Oh! I'm so excited I could..."

The designer falls back in her chair. "Faint!"

Alec: Auditions will be held at the Grand Palais Hotel, is that right? A little birdie told me that you already found your Chat Noir.

Care to share the good news?

Clara smiles as she zips her lips.

My lips are sealed,
But soon he'll be revealed.

We must still cast the heroes and extras by the way.
So come on out one and all and audition today!

Hearing her phone ring, Marinette runs over to it.

But she ended up tripping onto the floor on the way.

Getting up quickly, she answers her phone, which turned out to be a video call with Alya.

Who had Mylène, Juleka, Alix and Rose standing right behind her.

"Marinette, did you hear that? All us girls are heading over to audition and you're coming, too!"
