27. Reflekta

Scene: Collège Françoise Dupont.

Vincent: Alright, everybody look at the camera. Hahaha, they're perfect! Say spaghetti!

Ms. Mendeleiev's class: Spaghetti! (Adrien laughs while he and Nino look at each other)

"Spaghetti? I thought the word was cheese," Luka said, giggling making everyone else laugh and nod in agreement.

"Cheese?! Did somebody say cheese?!" Plagg asked, flying around the room.

"Luka means the word people say when taking photos, you stinky sock! And besides, you have your magical bowl of cheese, so calm down, will you?!" Tikki said to her fellow kwami in annoyance.

"Has anyone ever told you the more the merrier, sugarcube?" Plagg asked, somewhat offended, making Tikki roll her eyes in response.

"It's a good thing I was never asked to say cheese during my photoshoots," Adrien jokingly said and everyone laughs in agreement.

Marinette: I'm gonna be in a photo with Adrien! I'm gonna be in a photo with Adrien!

Alya: Right, 'cause uh– it's a class photo and you're in the same class as Adrien. (Marinette nods eagerly.)

Marinette: Amazing, isn't it? OH MY GOSH! What if we're standing in the same row together?

I got to be in a photoshoot with Adrien! That's way more impressive! Lila gloated in her head.

Alya: Hehe, oh girl just smile and whatever happens, don't forget to breathe!

"It's official: Alya is more of your babysitter than your best friend," Alix joked and everyone else laughed hard in agreement while Marinette blushed heavily.

"Darn straight, girl!" Alya said laughing while also hi-fiving Alix.

Juleka: At least you're going to be in the photo.

Rose: No, Juleka, I'm telling you, you're not jinxed! This time it's gonna work out, I can feel it, right here!

Marinette: What's this about being jinxed?

Juleka: (sighs) Ever since I was little, every time someone takes a photo of me, something always goes very wrong. (FLASHBACK: Photo with a younger Max covering over Juleka's face. Another photo with a pigeon blocking Juleka's face. Another photo with Juleka nearly not in the photo.)

Rose: You're wrong Juleka, you'll see!

"Rose is right, Jules. We have a ton of photos of you back home, you know," Luka pointed out to his sister.

"I meant class and friends' photos," Juleka clarified. "I'm already noticed at home. I just wanna be noticed by you guys."

"We do notice you, Juleka. You just have to try to be louder and more assertive for your attention," Marinette said and everyone murmured in agreement.

Marinette: For sure! We'll do everything we can to make sure it goes right this time. Don't forget to smile! (Juleka smiles.)

Vincent: Thank you kids, you've been wonderful. (Straightens everything for Marinette's class.) Ok, time to flash your pearly whites, guys! You kids take a seat in the front bench. (He gestures for Max, Alix, Rose, Marinette, and Mylène.) Quickly please, I've got sixteen other classes to shoot. (Everyone sits down on the bench.)

Adrien The new album is really good. (The rest of the class are whispering)

Chloé: Look Sabrina, they're up front in the baby seats! Go on rugrats, don't forget to take your thumbs out of your mouths! (Marinette grunts)

"Do you seriously try to peeve us off any way you can everyday, Bourgeois?" Alix asked rhetorically with a frown.

"Yeah, Chloe. There's nothing baby about being in the front row," Adrien said in defense of the people in the front row.

"And let's not forget who was being a baby about being next to Adrien in the photo!" Marinette pointed out and remembering this, everyone else laughed at Chloe.

"OK, I get it!" Chloe said, gritting her teeth.

Vincent: Well, next row! Hmmm...You, you, you and you go stand on the rear bench, please. (He points to Nathaniel, Alya, Sabrina, and Chloé.)

Chloé: Wait just one minute! I'm supposed to be in the middle row, right next to Adrien. Preferably the center. Look, we're the same size! (Waves her hand over Adrien and her head.)

Vincent: Nah, go stand in the back row, behind the rest.

Chloé: How dare you, put me behind the rest? Do you know who my father is?

Vincent: Is he a photographer?

Chloé: (gasps) NO! He's-

Vincent: Bummer, I could really use an assistant. Now hurry up and take your place, or I'll put you up front with the babies!

Chloé: Grrrrrrr... (walks off.)

Vincent: The rest of you boys, go stand in the middle row.

Adrien: It's no big deal Chloé! As long as we're all in the same photo, right?

"Is it really that big a deal to be next to me, Chloe? This is my first class photo and we're together in it. Isn't that supposed to be enough for you?" Adrien asked his childhood friend.

"We all know how I felt about you, Adrikins. Of course I had to be selfish about you. But it's never gonna happen again. I swear," Chloe said with a sad look with Sabrina putting her hand on Chloe's shoulder in comfort while everybody stayed silent.

Vincent: Perfect! You guys are awesome! Now stop squirming and let's get this photo shot! (Juleka looks at her mirror in a distance.)

Marinette: Uh, excuse me sir, you forgot Juleka.

Vincent: Huh? Ah sorry, my bad! Go stand in the middle row, next to that blonde haired boy.

Marinette: And you're gonna be right in the center! All eyes will be on you! No more jinxed class photos!

Vincent: No, this isn't right! Something's not working here!

Chloé: Uhh, course it's not working! I'm in the wrong spot!

Vincent: (to Ivan) You, move over there will you? Lets see... (After trying to find a good spot for Ivan.)

Mr. Damocles: Excuse me, but do we have a problem?

Vincent: (sighs) It doesn't matter where I put him, it throws the whole picture out of whack!

"That was pretty rude of him to say that about Ivan!" Mylene said angrily about the photographer, cuddling up to Ivan.

Chloé: My spot is unacceptable! (Chloé jumps down a row and pushes Juleka but Juleka pushes back.)

"Seriously, Chloe?! It's not like Juleka's gonna make a move on Adrien," Alix said in Juleka's defense and everyone else chuckled in agreement while Chloe looked down sheepishly.

Marinette: That's right Juleka, don't let her push you out of the way!

Miss Bustier: Ms. Bourgeois, behave yourself!

Chloé: Hey! Nobody asked you loudmouth!

Adrien: This isn't gym class, you know Chlo!

Vincent: You, over here, you here, and you here. (Everyone changes spots.) There, perfect!

Chloé: Uh, no! It isn't! It's not perfect at all! I'm totally not next to Adrien! (Adrien sighs then Marinette sighs.)

"OK, I see how annoying I was!" Chloe said loudly before anyone else can criticize her any further.

Mr. Damocles: Please Chloé, we still have sixteen classes to photograph! Go ahead Vincent.

Vincent: Say spaghetti!

Everyone: Spaghetti! (Camera shows low battery.)

Vincent: Oh, I don't believe this! I'm sorry, I have to go and fetch another battery. Nobody move! (Juleka gasps then looks sadly away.)

Juleka: Can I go to the bathroom?

"In retrospect, I shouldn't have left," Juleka said sadly and quietly.

Miss Bustier: Yes Juleka, but hurry!

Mr. Damocles: Ms. Bustier! He said nobody is to move!

Miss Bustier: It's an emergency sir! (Mr. Damocles growls angrily.)

Chloé: (to Sabrina) Make sure she doesn't come back! (Sabrina nods and asks to go to the bathroom.)

Sabrina: Ms. Bustier, I need to go too! (Juleka goes inside the bathroom, followed by Sabrina, who blocks the handle with a wooden chair and giggles. Juleka gasps at the giggling and tries to open the door but the chair is in the way.)

"I'm so sorry, Juleka!" Sabrina quickly apologized when glares from the audience went straight towards her and Chloe. Juleka just nodded, indicating that she knows Sabrina just did what Chloe told her.

"Me too," Chloe said quietly while looking down.

Scene: Court of the school

Vincent: We're back in business! (Sabrina gives Chloé a thumbs up and Chloé grins jumping next to Adrien.)

Marinette: Hey! What are you doing? Where's Juleka?!

Adrien: How'd she get here?

Chloé: Urgh, Who cares? At last, I'm in the right spot!

Vincent: I want you to flash your best smiles! Because it's the last time we are doing this!

Marinette: (gasps) OH WAIT!

Vincent: (He takes the picture) Thanks kids!

"Well, that was a bad picture! I can't believe the photographer didn't see that," Marinette noted and everyone murmured in agreement.

Marinette: Oh wait! Please sir, we have to redo the photo!

Mr. Damocles: Why's that?

Marinette: That's cause Juleka's not in it!

Mr. Damocles: Jule-who?

Everyone both glared then facepalmed at Mr. Damocles who blushed heavily in embarrassment and shame.

Marinette: Juleka! The tall one with the purple streaks!

Everyone: Yeah! Where'd she go? Didn't she go to the bathroom?

Chloé: Uh, Mr. Damocles, aren't we meant to be heading off to lunch? And aren't you paying the photographer by the hour?

"Chloe, how can you do that to my little sister? What did she ever do to you?!" Luka asked angrily and Chloe just looked down in deep shame.

Mr. Damocles: Why yes! No time to retake, class move along, now!

"MR. DAMOCLES!" Everyone shouted at the principal in exasperation while he still blushed in embarrassment and shame.

Vincent: Ok, lunch break!

Rose: (She opens the girls bathroom and steps in) Juleka? Juleka! Jule-kuh!? (She hears Juleka crying and gets rid of the chair and opens the door.) Poor sweet Juleka!

Juleka: (Standing up and sniffling) I missed the photo. Didn't I?

Rose: Yeah, another one of Chloé's mean tricks!

Juleka: Why should I expect it to be any different? Nobody ever hears me. Or sees me. I'm invisible. Even in photos.

"Well, Mr. Damocles sure didn't help argue with that," Adrien said as he still glared at the principal and everybody else nodded in agreement.

Rose: Don't say that Juleka! It's not true!

Juleka: Forget it. As long as Chloé's in the picture, she'll find a way to keep me out of it.

Rose: No, wait Juleka!

Juleka: Really Rose, forget it. Forget me. (She runs away from the school to a park bench.)

Luka suddenly has the urge to go after his sister on-screen, but realized that this is a show and it's in the past.

Scene: Hawk Moth's lair

Hawk Moth: (His window opens) Poor girl, feeling so lonely and ignored. How terrible it must feel that you don't even exist. Come here my little friend. (He turns a butterfly into an akuma, and sends it out.) Fly my vile akuma and give this transparent soul a voice and a vision!

Scene: Collège Françoise Dupont

Rose: Oh, Juleka's been locked in the bathroom, she really does have the class photo jinx!

Marinette: Of course I should've known Chloé was behind this! We're gonna have to break this curse, Rose!

Rose: We can ask the photographer.

Marinette: There's no point, he wouldn't want to! Unless, the photo disappeared, and the principal would have no choice but ask the photographer to shoot another one, with Juleka!

"Marinette, is there something you wanna tell me?" Mr. Damocles asked with a stern glare.

"I'm sure you'll see, sir," Marinette said nervously.

Rose: You're a genius, Marinette! But why would the photo just disappear?

Marinette: You find Juleka, I'll take care of the rest!

Ugh! Does she always have to be a hero?! Lila thought in disgust towards her enemy.

Chloé: (Hiding with Sabrina around a corner) She's not ruining my perfect photo with Adrien! Think of something, fast!

Scene: Park. Akuma flies into Juleka's wrist mirror.

Hawk Moth: Reflekta, I am Hawk Moth. From now on you will be the only one people see! No one will ever ignore you again! However, you must do me a favor in return, when the time comes.

Juleka: Yes, Hawk Moth. (She transforms into Reflekta and giggles.)

"Wow, Jules! I've never imagined you wearing pink!" Luka said, surprised at his sister's akumatized form.

"I know! I look too bright!" Juleka said as she winced at her akumatized form and then laughed along with everybody else.

Scene: Collège Françoise Dupont. Marinette and Tikki watch Mr. Damocles' office from the stairs.

Marinette: So, all the material stays in the Principal's office during lunch break!

Tikki: I refuse to be a part of this!

"If Tikki's against this, you shouldn't have done it, sweetheart," Tom jokingly pointed out and everyone murmured and chuckled in agreement.

Marinette: There's no time! We have to break Juleka's class photo jinx before the photographer leaves the school! (She enters the office.) Okay.

Tikki: There must be another way, Marinette! (Chloé filming Marinette with her phone and smirks. Meanwhile, Marinette goes through the photos. Chloé walks in with Sabrina. Marinette hides behind the desk. ) I knew this wasn't a good idea! (On the school grounds Reflekta appears before the students and teachers.)

"Marinette…," Mr. Damocles started to reprimand Marinette until Juleka intervened.

"Please, Mr. Damocles. She was only trying to help me," Juleka said and everybody else stated their support for leniency except for Lila who just stayed quiet.

"Fine. I will let this go for now. But if you do something like this again in my office, young lady, no matter what the circumstances are, I will not go easy on you again," Mr. Damocles said after much deliberation.

"I heard you loud and clear, sir," Marinette said and everyone else sighed in relief except for Lila who just scowled in annoyance.

Reflekta: Hello!

Mr. Damocles: What? Who-who are you?

Reflekta: Nobody's ever noticed me! But those days are over! But from now on, everybody will notice me because everybody will look like me! Time to get a new look! (She transforms Principal Damocles and Vincent into duplicates of herself) Soon there will be Reflektas everywhere! (She continues to transform people whilst people are panicking) No need to panic! Who doesn't love an extreme makeover? Nobody leaves here! Hahahaha! Soon everyone in Paris will look like me, including Chloé Bourgeois!

"OK, so Juleka turns people into copies of herself to make herself known, but wouldn't that make her more unknown and not unique ironically in return?" Kagami said based on her observations.

"You're right, I didn't think this through," Juleka said as she and everybody else agreed with Kagami's statement.

"Correction: Hawk Moth didn't think this through. No surprise there!" Marinette pointed out and everybody started laughing in agreement.

Hawk Moth: Beautiful. It won't be long before Ladybug and Cat Noir show their face!

Reflekta: Chloé Bourgeois? Have you seen Chloé Bourgeois?

Adrien: (He sees the damage) Time to transform!

[Transformation Sequence]

Adrien: Plagg, claws out! (Adrien transforms into Cat Noir)

Cat Noir: (runs to the school main entrance) It's blocked!

Nino: Yo! Check it! Cat Noir is gonna save us!

"Nice going, idiot!" Alya said as she slapped the back of her boyfriend's head hard.

"Ow!" Nino said after being hit making everyone else laugh hard in amusement.

Cat Noir: (gulps) Shh! (Reflekta spots him and attempts to shoot him with her ray, but misses) Okay, change of plan. (manages to dodge Reflekta's ray and grabs the hoop and ties Refleka in it, then runs to unlock the door. Reflekta grunts)

Ivan: Help us Cat Noir! I don't know how longer I can stand being in this body!

Cat Noir: Cataclysm! (he attempts to use it but gets hit by Reflekta's ray and transforms into a Reflekta copy)

Reflekta: Much better! I hate cats!

Cat Noir: Cataclysm! Huh? What? My ring, my Miraculous, it's gone!

Hawk Moth: His Miraculous! You should've taken it before you transformed him!

"OK, this is gotta be one of Hawk Moth's idiotic ideas. I mean, turning everyone into exact Reflekta copies and if the heroes get hit, their Miraculouses disappear. Therefore, no Miraculouses to obtain," Angel pointed out,

"You're right! Hawk Moth really is a giant idiot!" Adrien said as he and everyone else burst into raucous laughter.

"Even more so since this isn't the only time he's used Reflekta," Marinette pointed out and everybody else laughed harder.

Reflekta: Don't worry, I'll take care of it! (continues laughing) Where is Chloé Bourgeois?!?

Scene: Principal Damocles' office. Marinette is still hiding behind the desk, and Chloé and Sabrina are searching for her.

Chloé: I know you're in here Marinette. Come out, now!

Marinette: Hide, Tikki.

Chloé: Aha! Caught red-handed Marinette Dupain-Cheng! The principal would love my video of you snooping around in his office! (Sabrina laughs)

Marinette: (gasps and grabs the camera) Stop now or the class photo disappears! Which would be a shame considering how good you look in the photo, right next to Adrien!

Chloé: No!

"Well, that's some stand-off," Adrien noted, giggling at the two girls along with everybody else.

Marinette: Hand it over, Chloé! (Chloé gives the phone to Marinette, who deletes the video. Sabrina grabs the camera and pulls out the memory cards and tosses it to Chloé.) Give me that card!

Chloé: Give me back my phone!

Marinette: Give me the card or I'll keep your phone!

Chloé: Ha! You can keep the phone! I'll just buy another one!

"That sounds like a waste of money," Nathaniel commented.

"My daddy has a lot of money!" Chloe said in defense.

"That doesn't mean you should spend it recklessly, young lady. My husband and I make a lot of money with our bakery, but we always stayed within a budget," Sabine pointed out and everyone nodded in agreement except for you-know-who.

That old bat again with the advice! I'll spend my deserved fortune on whatever I please, thank you very much! Lila thought in her head with a hidden scowl.

Reflekta: Chloé, where are you!?

Chloé: What was that!? (Marinette grabs the card and runs off) Hey! Don't just stand there! Go get her! (Marinette runs out the door and hides) Where did that pea-brain go?

Reflekta: There you are at last! Chloé Bourgeois!

Chloé: Who are you?

Reflekta: Take a good look at me because I am your future face!

Chloé: Eugh! Gross! (tries to escape but gets zapped by Reflekta's ray) What in the? Do you realize how much my outfit cost!?

Reflekta: You should be thanking me! You look a thousand times better looking like this! (continues laughing)

"I must've been out of my mind. No one looks better like this," Juleka commented, giggling.

"AMEN!" Everyone said as they burst into laughter at that comment.

Marinette: (She runs into the library) Time to transform!

[Transformation Sequence]

Marinette: Tikki, spots on! Yeah! (Marinette transforms into Ladybug)

Reflekta: You won't get rid of me by locking me in the bathroom this time!

Ladybug: (gasps) Juleka! (jumps in front of Reflketa) Juleka, stop this now!

Reflekta: I'm not the Juleka nobody notices anymore! Now, I'm the unmistakable Reflekta!

Hawk Moth: Before you transform Ladybug, take her Miraculous from her! The earrings!

Reflekta: I'm sure you'll love your new image, Ladybug!

Ladybug: Thanks but no thanks, I prefer the one I've got!

Reflekta: Are you sure? Ask Cat Noir. I'm sure he loves his new look! (tries to transform Ladybug while giggling, but misses)

Cat Noir: My powers might be gone but I can't just stand by and do nothing! (runs but trips over his heels) Who invented these things? (to the other students) If you want your faces back then listen up, have you ever heard of safety in numbers?

Reflekta: Soon, like everyone else you will look just like me! (Ladybug tries to hit her but Reflekta grabs her arm.) But first, I'm gonna take your earrings as a trophy!

Cat Noir: Time to face off! (Other students who got transformed stand together against Reflekta.) Catch her!

Ivan: Yeah, get her!

Nino: Run on! (They run towards her but Reflekta jumps on them to escape)

Reflekta: You're no match for me Ladybug, this will all be over soon for you! (escapes)

Rose: How are you going to help us, Ladybug?

Nino: We want our faces back!

Ladybug: Don't worry, I'll figure it out!

Cat Noir: Yeah, these shoes are killer on the feet, my lady!

"They really were. I'm sure I said that later that day, but high heels should be illegal," Adrien said, wincing at the memory of wearing heels and everyone laughed in amusement, the girls the hardest.

Ladybug: Cat Noir?

Cat Noir: Excuse us, move out of the way.

Ladybug: Cat Noir, is it - is it really you?

Cat Noir: 'Course it is! Can't you tell by my swagger! Am I still the cat's meow or what?

"You look ridiculous!" The teens yelled in amusement as Adrien blushed with a frown.

Ladybug: I-uh... I don't know what to say!

Cat Noir: How about a thank you for getting you out of that tight spot!

Ladybug: (laughs) Sorry Cat Noir but you - you just... you just don't look like yourself! But uh... thank you!

"Sorry, but hearing your voice from that body was just too funny to not laugh at!" Marinette said, laughing along with everybody else while Adrien still frowned and blushed.

Cat Noir: You're welcome. And in case you've forgotten, we've got to de-akumatize Reflekta!

Ladybug: We? Your powers are gone, what are you gonna do? Throw your shoes at her? (She laughs again)

Cat Noir: Remind me who just saved you a minute ago?

Ladybug: I have to find Reflekta fast! You'd slowed me down!

Cat Noir: Maybe, but you know, sometimes I do have ideas.

Ladybug: Ok, yeah, sorry, and?

Cat Noir: I don't think taking on Reflekta face to face is the best idea unless you want a facelift too.

Ladybug: You're right and that gives me an idea! (They go to the roof)

Cat Noir: Where are we headed?

Ladybug: To the TV station! Here goes, watch your nails!

Cat Noir: Your jokes are so lame!

Ladybug: You haven't just lost your body, Cat Noir. I think you've lost your sense of humor too!

"TRUE THAT!" Everyone yelled and laughed in amusement and agreement.

Scene: Paris, Reflekta continues transforming everyone.

Ladybug: (On TV) People of Paris! Reflekta is not invincible! You can help, all you have to do is put on a disguise! Then I'll be able to spot the real Reflekta and bring her down!

"That's your plan?! No offense, Marinette, but that's kinda dumb," Lila said in a fake sweet voice all the while being condescending to her enemy.

"That wasn't my real plan, Lila. You'll see," Marinette said as she and Adrien frowned at Lila.

Scene: Mayor's office

Reflekta: Everyone must look like me, even you, Mr. Mayor!

Ladybug: Remember, put on a disguise!

Mr. Bourgeois: You are no match for Ladybug!

Reflekta: Now why would you say that when she's just given away her secret. (zaps him)

Mr. Bourgeois: Ladybug will save us!

Reflekta: Ladybug won't be saving anybody!

Hawk Moth: Don't let Ladybug get away this time! Or I'll remove your powers!

Scene: TVi Studio

Ladybug: I'm relying on you all!

Cat Noir: And cut! (They high five) Got it. Sorry but isn't your plan a bit complicated?

Ladybug: This isn't my real plan. The real plan is now that Reflekta knows that we're in the TV station, she'll come right here to get us!

"Ohhhh! Smart!" Most of the audience yelled out in amazement while Lila silently growled.

Cat Noir: And fall right into our claws! (He kisses Ladybug's hand)

Ladybug: You mean, into your nails.

Cat Noir: Still not funny. (Ladybug giggles)

"Your sense of humor is still lost, dude!" Nino said, laughing along with everybody else.

Scene: TVi Studio. Reflekta walks in, and Ladybug catches her with her yo-yo.

Ladybug: Gotcha!

Cat Noir: The akuma has to be in her bracelet!

Ladybug: Checkmate, Reflekta! (She breaks the bracelet and nothing happens) Huh? This isn't the real one! (Reflekta walks in, cackling)

Mr. Bourgeois: I'm sorry, she promised that she'd changed me back if I tricked you.

Ladybug: Mayor Bourgeois?

"Why am I not surprised?" Alya rhetorically asked in which Chloe frowned at her in response and defense of her father.

Cat Noir: There! Look out! (He jumps in front of Ladybug and takes the ray) I've already been changed so I'm safe.

Ladybug: Thanks, Cat Noir!

Cat Noir: Go ahead, use that charm of yours! (He winks)

Ladybug: Lucky Charm! (A camera appears) A camera? Okay... (She plans her attack) Cat Noir! Turn off the lights, quickly! (He shuts the lights and he gave Ladybug a thumbs up and Ladybug begins taking many pictures of Reflekta) Over here Reflekta! (Ladybug distracts her, gets the bracelet, and destroys it. Meanwhile, Cat Noir turn the lights back on.) No more evil doing for you little akuma! Time to de-evilize! (She traps the akuma in her yo-yo) Gotcha. Bye-bye little butterfly. (She lets the akuma go.) Miraculous Ladybug! (She throws the camera in the air and everything is restored.) You were awesome, Cat Noir!

Cat Noir: And with those shoes on too! By the way, those things should be illegal!

"See?" Adrien said, pointing out to the remark he made about high heels and everybody giggled in response.

Juleka: (She returns to normal) Where, where am I?

Ladybug & Cat Noir: Pound it!

"Pound it!" Marinette and Adrien once again fist-bumped and kissed in victory.

Ladybug: Could you take this girl back to her school please, Mayor Bourgeois? (She brings Juleka to the mayor)

Mr. Bourgeois: Yes, of course Ladybug!

Ladybug: Thank you! See you later Cat Noir! Bug out! (She runs away when her Miraculous beeps while Cat Noir smiles at her)

Scene: Hawk Moth's Lair

Hawk Moth: You might've pulled it off today, Ladybug but everything is not as it appears to be! Watch out Ladybug! I'll destroy you when you least expect it!

And I will help you with that! Lila once again vowed to Hawk Moth in her head

Scene: Marinette runs outside the school. She digs through her purse she pulls out the memory card.

Marinette: You were right, Tikki. Stealing this was a bad choice.

Tikki: So you're not gonna erase the photo?

Marinette: No, I've got another idea, that I think you'd approve of.

Tikki: That's my girl!

Marinette: (She returns Chloé's phone back to her before noticing Vincent's camera on the ground) Here, you can have this back.

Vincent: Ready?

Marinette: (to Vincent) Oh hey! You dropped this!

Vincent: Ah, grazi! (Marinette begs to the photographer to take another class photo)

Marinette: I know you're very busy but one of our classmates wasn't in the photo you took. Is there anyway we could do it again?

Vincent: Well, I'm running late with everything that's been going on and... Mr Damocles.

Marinette: I understand but...could we do it after you're finished here at the school? We could set up at the park next door!

Vincent: Well...

Marinette: We want the most awesome photo taken by the most awesome photographer, PLEASE!

Vincent: Well, when you put it that way...OK!

Scene: The Park. Everyone is gathered to take another picture and this time, Juleka is included.

Vincent: Okay, we're all good here, ready?

Adrien: This photo was a good idea, Marinette!

Marinette: (Marinette blushes) Thanks Adrien!

"Yeah! Awesome idea, Marinette!" Most of the audience cheered and applauded on how Marinette helped Juleka much to Lila's hidden boiling rage.

Chloé: Like I'd want to be part of their stupid photo anyway! Ridiculous! Utterly ridiculous! (They snap it and the photographer goes through the images.)

"These photographs sure do look fun!" Kagami pointed out, somewhat wishing to be a part of them.

Rose: The class photo curse is broken!

Juleka: Thank you, Marinette!

"Thanks again, Marinette," Juleka said to her friend with a grateful smile.

"It's really no problem. So, what's next?" Marinette asked the angel hostess.

"The next episode is The Puppeteer," Angel answered.

"Who was that again?" Luka asked, unaware about this akuma.

"It was Manon, the little girl I babysit," Marinette answered.

"Hawk Moth seriously akumatized a small child?" Kagami asked with even more disgust towards the supervillain.

"It's not just her. He akumatized my little sisters!" Alya said, remembering Sapotis.

"And my little bro!" Nino pointed out, remembering Christmaster.

"Let's not forget that he akumatized a baby," Marinette then pointed out, remembering Gigantitan, and everyone groaned in disgust in response.

"OK, we can all agree that Hawk Moth is seriously deranged," Angel said and everyone murmured in agreement, except for Lila who just stayed quiet. "But, let's get on with the episode."
