A little while, Tom preheats the oven to 425, combine the beef, egg, onion, panko, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, the red pepper flakes, and half of the ginger in a large bowl and mix with your hands. Roll into 1-inch balls and place on a rimmed baking sheet; refrigerate while you make the broccoli.

Sabine: Tom, how long will the meatballs be refrigerated?

Tom: When I'm done prepping the meatballs.

Sabine: Okay. *Soon, the doorbell rang. * Marin, can you get the door? *She washed her hands and started prepping the broccoli, she tossed the broccoli with 1 tablespoon of canola oil, the sesame seeds, and the remaining ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper on a separate baking sheet. Roast, tossing once, until tender and starting to char, 10 to 15 minutes. Drizzle with the sesame oil. Marin headed to the front door and opened it, it was Luka. *

Marin: Hey.

Luka: Hey. Is Marinette ready?

Marin: Let me check. *He walked to the stairs to her room. * Marinette. Your boyfriend's here.

Marinette: I'm coming. *Marin heads back to the front door. *

Marin: She'll be down soon.

Luka: Okay. *Soon, Marinette closed the trapdoor, headed downstairs, and stopped at the front door. *

Marinette: Hey.

Luka: Hey. *They both kissed. *

Marin: Get a room, you two. Just kidding.

Luka: Let's go. *He held her hand and they both walked out, and Marin closed the front door. *

Tom: While Marinette is out for a bit, we'll get dinner ready to go. *He whisks the beef broth, hoisin sauce, vinegar, soy sauce, and cornstarch in a bowl as Sabine decides to make a drink for dinner. On the streets, Marinette and Luka were walking down the street, looking around too. *

Luka: How's it going lately?

Marinette: Everything's good. I've been talking culinary lately.

Luka: Culinary?

Marinette: I signed up for culinary as one of my electives. I've been good at it.

Luka: That's cool. *They walked by a fruit store called Épicerie, where inside an employee named Carlos and his boss, Mr. Allen were talking, Carlos watched the delivery men bringing shipments of fruit into the store. *

Carlos: Okay. Apples, check. Bananas, check. Oranges, check. watermelons, check. Peaches, check. Lemons, check. Limes, check. Blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, gooseberries, raspberries, and boysenberries, check. Melons, check. Cantaloupes, check. Think that's everything.

Mr. Allen: How's the new shipments coming along, Carlos?

Carlos: Going well, Mr. Allen.

Mr. Allen: I'll see how well you're doing with the fruit shipment. *He walked to the crates and saw what fruit came in, he saw almost all the fruits, but no kiwis anywhere. * Carlos.

Carlos: Yes, Mr. Allen?

Mr. Allen: You missed a shipment.

Carlos: I did?

Mr. Allen: Yes. I don't see the Kiwis. You told me you made the shipment order.

Carlos: I did.

Mr. Allen: You missed one fruit!

Carlos: What fruit did I miss?

Mr. Allen: Kiwis. I even told you to include them, but they're not here.

Carlos: I'm sorry, sir, I can fix this.

Mr. Allen: Don't bother. I'll make the order. Just wash the fruit outside and think about your mistake. (You're lucky I'm not firing you over this.) *He walked away from Carlos; Carlos sighed. So, Carlos turns on the tap, which doesn't work at first, and just sprays him in the face when he turns to look at the hose. *

Carlos: It's just not my day today. *He sighs and grumbles. He turned the tap back on and started washing the fruits. Then, in the lair, Gabriel walked inside with Nooroo and Duusu flew after him and hovered. *

Gabriel: This time, this won't fail like all my other villains. Nooroo, Duusu, Dual Metamorphosis! *He transforms into Shadow Moth. Then, the window starts to open and Butterflies start to flutter in the lair. *

Shadow Moth: Mistakes are what make us human. Maybe I can use this young man's mistakes to my advantage. Even if it is about a job he doesn't like to do. *He opened his hand, a Butterfly landed, and he turned it into a Megakuma, and let it go. * Fly away, my Megakuma, and evilize this hired help. *The Megakuma flew out of the lair and into the city. Outside of the Épicerie, Carlos sighed and kept watering the fruits when the Megakuma landed on the hose. * Fruit Ninja, I am Shadow Moth. Your job as an employee is being unfair and you make mistakes from time and time again. I can show you that you're no mistake in my eyes. To fulfill your evil-doing until my control, I'm gonna need you to bring me Ladybug and Cat Noir's miraculouses.

Carlos: Yes, Shadow Moth. *He smirked evilly, and dark foam covered his whole body and revealed his villain form: Fruit Ninja. *

Fruit Ninja: Let's cut some fruit! *He stretched his arms out and corrupted all the fruits from the shop, Mr. Allen stepped outside and saw what was going on. *

Mr. Allen: What in the world?

Fruit Ninja: Time to make Paris from ap-peel-ing! *He shoots out bananas all over the city, people start exclaiming from the falling bananas, and Mr. Allen ducks from the bananas. *

Mr. Allen: What is going on? *Fruit Ninja looked over at Mr. Allen, he smirked at him. *

Fruit Ninja: Still think I made a mistake from earlier.

Mr. Allen: Mistake? Carlos?

Fruit Ninja: It's not Carlos anymore, Mr. Allen. It's Fruit Ninja. And you gotta be "knowing" me! *He laughed evilly and flung out kiwis at Mr. Allen, he was covered in kiwis. *

Fruit Ninja: Still need some kiwis? Well, there you go. *He leaped away and ran across from roof to roof. Mr. Allen spit out a kiwi from his mouth. *

Over the Seine Bridge, Luka takes Marinette under the bridge, and they look down at the water.

Luka: Recognize this place?

Marinette: Yes. You showed me this, then you told me you never met your dad, and you were... akumatized.

Luka: Sorry about that moment. And I was asking you what you were doing and the reason for avoiding me.

Marinette: Luka, I've never avoided you, it was just me being Ladybug, and I have to do something. I'm sorry if that made you think I'm doing it to hurt you.

Luka: But... now, I know why. *He held her hand, and they slowly leaned in for a kiss, but then they heard people screaming. * Marinette, look. *They looked to the left and spotted Fruit Ninja. *

Fruit Ninja: Aww, what's the matter? Not a big fan of fruit. Well, you're sure the "apple" of my eye! *He summoned apples and started throwing them out at people. *He then looked down at the Seine bridge, he saw Marinette and Luka, and he smirked. * Looks like you too are "coco-nuts" for each other. *He threw out a few coconuts at them. *

Luka: Woah, watch out! *He opened his umbrella and protected himself and Marinette from the coconuts as they cracked open and coconut milk started to spill as Fruit Ninja flipped away. *

Marinette: What was that?

Luka: Not sure, but you better handle this one. *He closed his umbrella. *

Marinette: Right. *She opened her purse and freed Tikki. * Tikki, spots on! *She transforms into Ladybug. *

Ladybug: Stay out of harm's way.

Luka: Okay. *Ladybug kisses him on the cheek, she runs out of the bridge and Luka stays on the bridge. At the park, Vincent the photographer was taking pictures of Adrien when he saw it was raining cherries. *

Vincent: What the? Cherries?

Adrien: Why is it raining cherries?

Vincent: I don't know. I'm sorry, Adrien. But I think we better reschedule your photo shoot because of this.

Adrien: I understand.

Vincent: Thank you. *He gathered his stuff quickly and ran off, Adrien hid behind a tree and got Plagg out. *

Plagg: Ow! Ow! Ow! What is this?

Adrien: Cherries, Plagg.

Plagg: Cherries? Blegh.

Adrien: No time to complain. Ladybug needs help. Plagg, claws out! *He transforms into Cat Noir and comes out from behind the tree. *

In Jessica and Aeon's apartment, they were watching cartoons when an apple hit the window.

Jessica: Was that...an apple!?

They walked over to the window and looked outside to see fruit coming from everywhere.

Aeon: Woah!

Jessica: Either we're in the Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs movie or there's an Akuma afoot.

Aeon: I'm going to assume the latter.

Jessica: Me too. Liiri, wings of Liberty! *She transforms into Eagle and Aeon presses on her bracelet and she transforms into Uncanny Valley, and they both through the window. *

In the city, Fruit Ninja flipped and launched fruits out.

Fruit Ninja: Ahh, you know that they say, "The sweetest fruits grow at the top of a tree so that only those who deserve them can reach them." *He summoned an apple and ate it. Soon, Ladybug, Cat Noir, Eagle, and Uncanny appeared and saw what was going on. *

Eagle: That's Fruit Ninja?

Ladybug: Yeah.

Cat Noir: What's his deal with fruits?

Ladybug: No clue. We'll have to study our enemies and find out their reasons. Let's go. *They leaped down and headed towards Fruit Ninja. *

Fruit Ninja: Sorry if you're not a fruit person. But you'll feel "berry" beautiful afterward. *He laughed. *

Ladybug: That's enough, Fruit Ninja.

Fruit Ninja: Who said that?

Ladybug: Us! *He turned around and saw them, he groaned. *

Fruit Ninja: Well, if it isn't Paris' famous Heroes. NOT!

Cat Noir: What's with the fruit biz?

Fruit Ninja: Not that it's any of your business, pussycat. I'm just showering everyone with Nature's healthy treats: fruits.

Ladybug: You can't force people to fruit.

Fruit Ninja: Oh, what do you know about their opinion? Why don't you all share the misery of fruits, you fruit haters? *He points out his fruit hose and fires out some apples. * An apple a day, keeps the doctor away! *Uncanny made an energy shield appear and blocked off the apple blast. *

Eagle: What's his deal anyway?

Fruit Ninja: Aww, apples aren't enough for you? Well, how about melons? *He fires off melons, but Uncanny removes the shield and she gets pelted by a melon. *

Uncanny: That's just not right.

Fruit Ninja: You're one in a melon. Hahahahaha. *Uncanny dusted the melon splats off of her, Ladybug leaped up, scaled across the building, threw her yo-yo out, and swung over Fruit Ninja. *

Fruit Ninja: Oh, you wanna play? Hopefully, this will make you feel more "Ap-peel-ing!" *He fires out bananas at Ladybug, she blocks them off her yo-yo as she lands, but she steps on one and starts slipping, bumped into Cat Noir, Eagle, and Uncanny, he starts firing out oranges. One hit Cat Noir in the face. *

Cat Noir: Ow! My eye! *He covered his eyes. *

Eagle: Alright, I've had enough fruit. Wings of Justice! *She flapped her arms and made a gust of wind push Fruit Ninja back, he hit the ground and they all faced him. * Thank you.

Fruit Ninja: Uncalled for. No matter, I'm still locked and loaded.

Cat Noir: What? No orange puns this time?

Fruit Ninja: Stow it, whiskers. *He showed off his ninja stars and threw them out, Ladybug twirled her yo-yo in deflect, and the ninja stars bounced off, Eagle flew up and she did her Eagle cry, shooting off brown and white sound waves, Fruit Ninja covered his ears and fired off coconuts. *

Eagle: Hey! Watch it! *She kicked one out, but Fruit Ninja leaped up, drew his katana, and cut it in half. *

Fruit Ninja: Is that the best you can do, feathers? I don't think so. *Soon, a laser beam hit his hand. * Ow! *He grunted and the Megakuma symbol appeared in his eyes. *

Shadow Moth: Fruit Ninja, make like a banana and split them up to make it easier to get their miraculous!

Fruit Ninja: Too easy to do so. *The Megakuma symbol disappeared, and he aimed his fruit hose and kept firing more fruit. They evaded the fruit blast and fired off their powers, but no effect on him. They hide behind a parked car away from Fruit Ninja. *

Ladybug: The Akuma has to be in his hose.

Uncanny: He keeps firing off his fruit, so it makes sense.

Ladybug: Hopefully something good will come out of this. Lucky charm! *She throws her yo-yo up, a swarm of magical ladybugs appears, and a speaker appears. * A speaker?

Cat Noir: Think the Cha-cha is acceptable?

Ladybug: No. *Then a watermelon splatted in front of them. *

Fruit Ninja: You're not getting away from me that easily. Have some fruit! *He keeps firing off more fruit and they evade and run to the Eiffel Tower. *

Eagle: So, what's the plan to get the Akuma?

Cat Noir: Before he turns us into a hero fruit salad! *Ladybug looked around and using her vision, she spotted an auto store, a bike and helmet, a stop sign, and Cat Noir's belt. *

Ladybug: Get your cataclysm ready on his hose.

Cat Noir: Okay.

Ladybug: Let's go. *They start to scatter, Fruit Ninja watched them move. *

Fruit Ninja: Not this time! *He runs after them, but Uncanny creates a laser cage around Fruit Ninja. * Hey! What
