Miraculous Rewrite

Félix

Scene: The Agreste Mansion's basement. Gabriel Agreste visits Emilie Agreste, who is still unconscious.

Gabriel: (wipes his left hand containing the two rings with a blue cloth) Coccinelle and Chat Noir's miraculous will soon be mine, I promise. Then, I will get the ultimate power, and we shall all be together again.
(He raises the 2 rings overlapping, then slips them apart. They shine. He puts one ring on Emilie's left ring finger, then he puts her hands together again)
Gabriel: You and I. (He puts the other ring on his finger) Soon, Emilie.

Scene: The Agreste Mansion's garden. From inside the Mansion, Nathalie looks out a window, and sees Adrien in the garden. He sits cross-legged in front of a statue of his mother, Emilie.

Nathalie: (speaking to someone on phone) Of course. Someone will get you right away.
(She hangs up and messages Adrien's bodyguard, prompting him to leave the mansion in the car. Gabriel approaches Nathalie, and stops beside her, glaring solemnly at her. There's a long silence. While she tries to give him a reassuring look, he gazes at his son below. Adrien turns and smiles at them. Nathalie waves at him, and he waves back, while Gabriel continues staring solemnly)
Nathalie: It's been one year. The longer you keep him in the dark about what you're doing, the harder it'll be on him when he finds out.
(Gabriel closes his eyes and nods, and heads outside)
Adrien: (looks at the statue while he sings) Little kitty on a roof, all alone without his -
Gabriel: Adrien.
Adrien: Father?
Gabriel: (sits down beside him) There is something important I have to talk to you about. I think about telling you every day, but I don't know how to find the right words.
Adrien: I think I already know, father.
Gabriel: But, how?
Adrien: I've noticed how close you and Nathalie have become. If she can make you happy again, then... as far as I'm concerned, she's already part of our family.
Gabriel: How could you possibly think such a thing?! Nobody could ever replace your mother- (He stands) -as long as she is still in our hearts she lives on! (Adrien looks astonished as Gabriel starts walking away) We're expecting guests. Be ready. (He heads back to his atelier)
Plagg: (comes out) Wow! Your father's like a piece of tomme cheese: where the rind's so thick it's almost impossible to get inside the center.
Adrien: Don't be so hard on him, Plagg. It's been a year today since Mom... went away forever.

Scene: Couffaine houseboat. Luka paces in front of his friends Kim, Rose, Juleka, Max, Alya, and Nino, and as they all sit on the stage. Marinette is also present, having been dragged along by Alya once again.

Luka: We can't leave Adrien all alone on a day like this.
(The rest of the students are on video call on Alya's tablet: Alix, Marc, Nathaniel, Myléne, Ivan, Marinette, Kagami, Lila, and Chloé)
Alix: (through video call) True that, but there's no way his old man's gonna let us see him.
Luka: Okay, why don't we make them a video and tell him how much we all care about him?
Alya: Great idea, we can take turns recording our messages.
Nino: Then send it to him.
(The others enthusiastically agree)
Alya: Okay, go Marinette!
Marinette: (startled) Ah - ! Yee- ! No, no, someone else go - (She nervously giggles) I still need to go figure out what I'm going to say.
Alya: (smiles) Okay, girl. So Nino, ready? (He nods) Action! (She starts recording him)
Nino: Hey, my dude!

Scene: Adrien's room. Adrien sits, with tears in his eyes, staring at the photo of him and his mom on his computer.

Nathalie: (enters) Your father is waiting for you downstairs, Adrien.
Adrien: (wipes his eyes) Ah... I'll be right there.
(She exits, and he follows after her)

Scene: Agreste mansion foyer. Adrien stands next to his father. Nathalie opens the front door, revealing the silhouette of a figure. It's a woman and she has a great resemblance to Adrien's mother, Emilie.

Adrien: (gasps in shocks) Mom...?
Amelie: My, my! Look at how much you've grown. (She gives Adrien a kiss on the cheek) Gabriel, isn't he just the absolute cutest?
Gabriel: (tense) I'm sure Adrien is delighted to have such a timely visit from his aunt, today of all days.
Adrien: (his confusion changes to surprise) Aunt Amelie?
Amelie: I'm so happy to see you again! I thought it'd be better if we were all together on a day like this! Don't you agree, dear?
(Adrien smiles wide, while Gabriel looks at her displeased. Adrien's bodyguard rolls in some luggage, while Adrien's twin cousin, Félix, enters)
Adrien: Félix? (Félix puts out his hand for a handshake, but Adrien hugs him instead) Good to see you again!
Amelie: Aw, they look just like twins! Don't they, Gabriel? Do you remember when they used to have so much fun pretending to be each other? Once they had you and Emilie fooled for a whole weekend! (She laughs) We laughed so hard! (She laughs again)
Gabriel: (frowns; annoyed) I won't be fooled a second time.
Félix: Hello, uncle.
(He puts out his hand again, but Gabriel keeps his hands behind his back)
Amelie: Félix, you know your uncle's never been the physical sort. (She frowns, then looks behind his back) Oh! How sweet! You're still wearing your wedding band! You must have Emilie's too, I imagine? You never replied to my message about that. I'd still like to get the rings back, you know.
Gabriel: These rings are obviously very special to me.
Amelie: And they're very dear to me too, Gabriel. Those jewels have always been in the Graham de Vanily family, not the Agreste's.
Gabriel: We'll discuss it later. It's been a long journey from London, you may want to rest a bit. Nathalie?
Nathalie: (to Amelie) Follow me, please.
(The two begin to walk away)
Gabriel: (To Adrien) Take Félix to your bedroom.
Adrien: Yes, father. C'mon, Félix!
(He dashes ahead. Félix follows, frowning, and glances back at Gabriel as he enters his atelier, before glancing back to Adrien)
