(In Marriott’s Grande Vista, Adrien’s group lays asleep throughout the villa. Adrien wakes up.)
ADRIEN: (YAWNS) Morning, guys.
(The group gives scattered “Good morning” greetings.)
ADRIEN: Let’s start putting Operation Bring Marinette Back to Paris underway. Markov?
(Markov scans all of Orlando.)
MARKOV: I have found her. She is now leaving a Panera Bread in Waterford Lakes Town Center with a new group of friends. They plan to visit ICON Park tonight.
ADRIEN: ICON Park. That’s right on this road. Heck, we passed that on the way here. That’s where we go tonight.
(As the sun dips below the horizon, painting the sky in vibrant hues, Marinette and her new friends step into the vibrant atmosphere of ICON Park. Her gaze is drawn to the breathtaking Orlando Eye, its colorful glow illuminating the night sky. Heads turn, whispers fill the air, and fingers point as guests recognize her, making her entrance known. The group makes their way towards the iconic wheel.)
LUNA-TK: Alright. You head on in and enjoy yourself. We’ll be on lookout for anyone crossing you.
MARINETTE: Okay. Thank you.
(She goes inside. Meanwhile, with Adrien’s group in their room…)
MARKOV: She has arrived at the park.
ADRIEN: Let’s go, people.
(Meanwhile, Marinette arrives at one of the wheel’s cars.)
MARINETTE: Thank you.
(She boards the wheel. Meanwhile, Adrien’s group arrives.)
ADRIEN: Okay. Everyone search high and low. She could be anywhere in this busy park.
(In the wheel, Marinette arrives at the top and overlooks the area around her.)
MARINETTE: Wow.
TIKKI: I mean, Paris had great views during your time as Ladybug, but this is amazing.
MARINETTE: Right? My choice to stay here gets better with every hour.
(Below, Markov sees her.)
MARKOV: She is now preparing to get off of that wheel.
MAX: Affirmative.
(Meanwhile, Marinette gets out of her car and onto the platform.)
MARINETTE: That was so good.
TIKKI: So now what?
MARINETTE: We’re gonna meet back with the group and work it out.
(Now, Adrien and the group find her outside the Museum of Illusions.)
ADRIEN: There they are!
MARINETTE: Huh?
(As the group approaches, all of Marinette’s new friends block them.)
LUNA-TK: Back up! Back away!
@calxiyn (simultaneously): Get out of here!
ADRIEN: What?
@luminara713: Get back!
ADRIEN: What’s going on? Marinette! We’re here to apologize!
MARINETTE: You think I want to hear what you have to say?
(Marinette moves through her friends and approaches Adrien.)
ADRIEN: You need to know how scared and devastated we were when we knew you were gone. We spent the rest of the day looking for you.
MARINETTE: So? Just the fact that it took me running away for you to come to the realization that you mistreated me speaks volumes. How did any of you ever come to the conclusion that a girl who tells the most unbelievable stories that can be fact-checked by a simple internet search is so spectacular? How did, “Marinette, someone we know always puts other people’s needs before her own, is bullying a disabled girl because of pity jealousy, even though she insists that she’s okay with Kagami dating Adrien,” cross your minds at all? Tell me, Adrien. Why did I have to tell you to vouch for me? I don’t blame Mr. Damoclès for shutting you up! You looked like you were only doing it because I asked you to and not because you actually believed me! You all did nothing when I got expelled, not even Alya’s “detective work” turned out useful, and I’m just supposed to forgive you?!
ADRIEN: Marinette, please…
MARINETTE: No! You know, if I can’t ever get it through your heads that I want you to leave me alone, my new friends will make you understand! Let’s get these traitors!
(Marinette and her new friends surge forward, their determination blazing. Ahead, Adrien and his group turn tail, their panicked faces a testament to the escalating danger. They scramble past startled onlookers, the relentless Florida downpour mirroring the storm brewing within them. A desperate sprint down the rain-soaked street ensues, the chase reaching a fever pitch as both sides struggle to outmaneuver the other.)
(They run under the bridge connecting the Orange County Convention Center and the Hotel Convention Center.)
ADRIEN: Let’s go this way!
(They turn onto Hawaiian Ct and bump into Terence, who glowers down at them.)
(They shift course, diving towards the foliage behind Walgreens. As they jump over the bushes, Manon loses her grip and tumbles from her mother’s shoulders. In a flash, Alix catches the falling child and swiftly returns her to Nadja’s arms.)
MANON: Thank you!
ALIX: Don’t mention it.
(Back on the street, the group hustles toward the overpass. Kagami’s foot slips on a sewer drain and she falls, clutching her ankle in pain.)
ADRIEN: Kagami!
KAGAMI: My ankle!
(Looking beyond her, Adrien sees their pursuers approaching fast.)
ADRIEN: Anansi…
NORA: Don’t need to tell me, Cellphone Boy!
(Nora runs back and carries Kagami on her back. Later, the group rounds the corner at the three-way intersection leading to Marriott’s Grande Vista. Their pursuers start to close in. They burst into the lobby, a storm of soaked clothes and dripping hair, their shoes squeaking on the tile floor. They arrive at an open elevator and scramble inside.)
TRAVEL GROUP: Get in, get in!…Go, go, go!…Hurry up, get in, come on!…They’re coming, let’s go!
ADRIEN: Come on, come on, come on, come on!
MYLÈNE: Get in! Get in!
(Their equally wet pursuers arrive. Adrien frantically presses the button to close the elevator.)
ADRIEN: Close, close, close, come on!
(The doors slide closed just before Marinette and her new friends can reach them.)
MARINETTE: Ah! Come on!
LUNA-TK: Darn! (SIGHS) Well, hey, hope you enjoyed the day with us before they showed up. See you tomorrow?
MARINETTE: Sure.
(Her new friends leave.)
LORI: They better not come near her again, or I will literally turn them into human pretzels.
(On the fourth floor, the group gets off the elevator.)
ALIX: I can’t believe this! We came all this way for nothing!
NATHANIEL: And Marinette has hardcore protectors now!
IVAN: Traitors! She called us traitors!
MYLÈNE: (SOBBING) How could she?
ALYA: We’re so stupid! We should have seen this coming!
SABINE: We really should have been keeping a more watchful eye!
CHLOÉ: Yeah, and Lila deserves a pounding once we get back!
ADRIEN: Wait a minute, wait, hold on! This is no time to be hysterical!
NATHANIEL: It’s the perfect time to be hysterical!
ROSE: Should we be hysterical?
ALIX: No!
CHLOÉ: Yes!
ADRIEN: Maybe! But not right now! (SIGHS) Let’s call it a day now and figure it out in the morning.
(Later, the group lays asleep throughout the villa. Plagg goes up to Adrien.)
PLAGG: (WHISPERING) You are concocting something right now, are you?
ADRIEN: No one concocts plans while they sleep, Plagg. Quiet before someone hears you.
On March 24, 2022, at approximately 11:15 p.m., local authorities and news outlets reported that The Late Master Tyre Sampson fell to his later death.
REPLACE THE ORLANDO FREE FALL RIDE
The cause of his tragic passing is still being investigated. However, reports show, a beloved son, brother, teammate, and respectful 14-year-old, was not properly harnessed in the, now, infamous Orlando Free Fall Ride
We grieve the loss of the precious teenager. He had a life of greatness to pursue. He was reported, as an Honor Roll student, and was affectionately known as "Big Tick."
We are DEMANDING THE ORLANDO FREE FALL RIDE be REMOVED, after a fair and impartial investigation.
WE DEMAND a fair and impartial investigation concerning why "Tyre," was not, apparently, provided every safety measure available.
WE DEMAND EVERY employee connected with this horrific death be held accountable.
WE recommend a Memorial be placed on site honoring Tyre Sampson
A 14-year-old boy fell from the height of an amusement park ride this week and passed away. May he rest in peace🙏. Prayers for his family and for the repose of his soul. I ask those in charge of amusement parks: please make efforts to make your rides safer.
