Scene: Collรจge Franรงoise Dupont
"Alright, everybody look at the camera." Victor fixes the camera lenses. "Hahaha, they're perfect! Say spaghetti!"
"Spaghetti!" Ms Mendeleiv's class says in usion.
"Picture days are the worst." Athena sighs.
"Come on, it's not that bad." Adrien assures.
Athena puts a hand on her hip. "At my old school, they made us wear those ridiculous uniforms." She groans. "I mean, seriously, who thought puffy sleeves and frilly collars were a good idea? It was like they were trying to make us look as pompous as possible."
The maroon shakes her head in dissatisfaction by her old memory. "Don't even get me started when they expected us to plaster on fake grins, pretending like we were thrilled to be standing in those god awful uniforms."
Adrien and Nino cringed as they thought about being in her place. They couldn't imagine the pain, and suffering their friend have to delt with.
Nino pats Athena's back in comfort. "Don't worry about it dudette. I'm sure this will be over within a blink of an eye.
Adrien nods. "Plus, you'll look nice in the photo."
"Your not wrong." Athena flips hr hair. "My beauty is the most charming thing afterall."
Adrien and Nino laughed together, because of their friends confidence.
Meanwhile, Marinette was staring at Adrien with lovestruck in her eyes. The blonde was laughing with Nino.
"I'm gonna be in a photo with Adrien! I'm gonna be in a photo with Adrien!" Marinette repeats excitedly.
"Right, 'cause uh- it's a class photo and you're in the same class as Adrien." Alya says.
Marinette nods eagerly. "Amazing, isn't it? OH MY GOSH! What if we're standing in the same row together?"
Alya laughs. "Oh girl, you're so funny. Just simple and whatever happens, don't forget to breathe!"
"At least you know you're gonna be in the photo." Juleka frowns.
"No, Juleka. I'm telling you, you're not jinked! This time it's gonna work out, I can feel it, right here! Rose leans on Juleka as she places a hand on her chest.
"What's this about being jinxed?" Athena asks.
Juleka sighs. "Ever since I was little, every time someone takes a photo of me, something always goes wrong."
Rose shakes her head. "Your wrong Juleka, you'll see!"
"For sure! We'll do everything we can to make sure it goes right this time. Don't forget to smile!" Athena smiles.
Juleka smiles back at her.
"Thank you kids, you've been wonderful." Vincent comments as the other class walks away. He began straightening up for the next class.
"Ok, time to flash those pearly whites, guys!" Vincent says, walking up to Ms Bustier's class. "You kids take a seat in the front bench." Gestures for Max, Alix, Rose, Marinette, and Mylรจne. "Quickly please, I've got sixteen other classes to shoot."
The five of them sit on the front row bench.
"Look Sabrina, they're up front in the baby seats! Go on rugrats, don't forget to take your thumbs out of your mouths!" Chloรฉ mocks.
Athena rolled her eyes at the spoiled brat. She couldn't stand the way she treats her classmates and others.
"Well, next row!" Vincent hums as he analyzed the students. "You, you, you, and you." He points at Nathaniel, Alya, Sabrina, and Chloรฉ. "Go stand on the rear bench, please."
"Wait just one minute!" Chloรฉ side hugs Adrien. "I'm supposed to be in the middle row, right next to Adrien. Preferably the center. Look, we're the same size!" She waves her hands over Adrien and her head.
"How stupid can you be? You guys aren't even the same size." Athena says bluntly.
"Oh shut up, you baker girl!" Chloรฉ retorts.
"Make me, banana~" Athena smirks.
Her classmates laughed by her remark, except Chloรฉ, Sabrina, and Marinette.
"Miss, go stand in the back row, behind the rest. I don't have time to waste for your foolishness." Vincent says.
"How dare you, put me behind the rest?" Chloรฉ walks up to Vincent. "Do you know who my father is?"
"Is he a photographer?" Vincent asks.
Chloรฉ gasps. "NO! He's-"
"Bummer, I could really use an assistant. Now hurry up and take your place, or I'll put you up front with the babies!" Vincent comments.
Chloรฉ growled in anger and strutted her way in the back row.
"The rest of you, go stand in the middle row." Vincent ushered.
Marinette frowns, wanting to stand next to her crush in the photo. She slightly glared at the maroon who was now going to be beside him and not her.
'I gotta find a way to stand next to Adrien, but how am I gonna get rid of that giant...' Marinette pondered.
"It's no big deal Chloรฉ. As long as we're all in the same photo, right?" Adrien asked after he went in the middle row with Athena beside him.
"Perfect! You guys are awesome!" Now stop squirming and let's get this photo shot!" Vincent says.
Athena noticed Juleka standing by herself.
"Excuse me, sir." Athena points at her friend Juleka. "You forgot Juleka." She informed.
Vincent turns around and noticed Juleka looking at her mirror in the distance. "Ah sorry, my bad! Go stand in the middle row, next to that blonde haired boy."
Juleka goes to stand beside Adrien in the middle row.
"And you're gonna be right in the centre! All eyes will be on you! No more jinxed class photos!" Athena smiles.
"No, this isn't right! Something's not working here!" Vincent contemplates.
"Uhh, course it's not working! I'm in the wrong spot!" Chloรฉ complained.
Athena rolls her eyes, she couldn't believe Chloรฉ could be this childish.
"You," Vincent points at Ivan. "Move over here will ya?"
Ivan walks over to the back.
"Let's see..." Vincent looks through his camera and was dissatisfied with the position. He continued to move Ivan two more times.
"Excuse me, but do we have a problem?" Mr Damocles questioned.
Vincent sighs. "It doesn't matter where I put him, it throws the whole picture out of whack!"
"My spot is unacceptable!" Chloรฉ jumps down a row and attempted to push Athena, but she wouldn't move.
The maroon's bro furrowed, she felt an unfamiliar feeling that she never felt before. A curiosity sparked in her mind as she reflect on recent events, wondering if there might be a connection. Suddenly, she snapped backed into reality when Ms Bustier spoke up.
"Ms Bourgeois, behave yourself!" Ms Bustier scold as Chloรฉ puts her leg over Athena's shoulder.
Athena eye's twitches in irritation. She moved the blonde, causing Chloรฉ to lose her balance and fall back with a yelp.
"This isn't gym class, you know Chlo?" Adrien nervously chuckles while checking if she was alright.
Vincent began moving students until he was satisfied.
The students were now in different positions, but Athen and Juleka were still next to Adrien. Cause, why not โโ (โ โ หโ _โ หโ )โ โ
"There, perfect!" Vincent says.
"Uh, no! It isn't! It's not perfect at all! I'm totally not next to Adrien!" Chloรฉ complained.
Adrien, Athena and Marinette sighed, tired with the spoiled brats behaviour.
"Please Chloรฉ, we still have sixteen classes to photograph! Go ahead
Vincent." Mr Damocles said.
"Say spaghetti!" Vincent instructed.
"Spaghetti!" The class said in unison while smiling.
Suddenly, Vincent camera shows low battery.
"Oh, I don't believe this!" Vincent sighs as he saw his camera shows to be having low battery. "I'm sorry, I have the go get h another battery. Nobody move!"
Juleka frowned and looks down sadly. She walks towards Ms Bustier. "Can I go to the bathroom?"
"Yes Juleka, but hurry!" Ms Bustier says.
"Ms Bustier! He said nobody is to move!" Mr Damocles protested.
"It's an emergency sir!" Ms Bustier replies.
Mr Damocles growls angrily.
Marinette eyes widens as she just got an idea on how to be beside Adrien from the class photo. "Ms Bustier, I need to go too!"
The blunette quickly rushes off to the bathroom.
"Make sure that Juleka girl doesn't come back!" Chloรฉ whispered to Sabrina.
Sabrina nods. "Ms Bustier, I also need to go too!"
Athena narrowed her eyes suspiciously as she watched Marinette and Sabrina.
Scene: Girl's Bathroom
Juleka goes inside the bathroom before entering a stall.
Marinette quietly enters when following Juleka. She spotted a wooden chair and used it to block the handle while giggling.
Unknown to her, Sabrina witnessed the accident. Her eyes widened in shock, she couldn't believe Marinette would do something like that. She quickly sped away, so she could inform Chloรฉ.
She skips away, giggling like a complete maniac as if she achieved something. Juleka gasps at the sound of giggling and tries to open the door, but with no avail.
Scene: Courtyard
"We're back in business!" Vincent says.
Sabrina scurries over to Chloรฉ and gave her a thumbs up with a hint of worry on her face. Chloรฉ furrows her brow by this, but brushed it off as she grins. Before she could jump next to Adrien, Marinette jumped between Athena and Adrien. She almost knocked over the said blonde, but luckily Athena caught him.
Chloรฉ eyes widens. "What do you think your doing Dupain-Cheng!"
"And where's Juleka?" Athena glares at the blunette.
"How'd you get here?" Adrien asks.
Marinette smiles at him creepily. "She's probably still in the bathroom."
Athena slightly moved her and Adrien backwards as Marinette inched closer to her obsession with lovestruck in her eyes.
Chloรฉ tightens her fist in anger, she then glared at Sabrina. "What the hell is going on?!"
Sabrina nervously chuckles. "I-i'll tell you when we take our class p-hoto!" She squeaked.
Just then, Vincent took the picture. The photo shows Athena ready to attack Marinette who shields her face with Chloรฉ dragging Marinette's pigtails and Adrien trying to hold back his friend from hurting their classmate. Overall, the photo was horrible.ไนโ (โ โ โขโ _โ โขโ โ )โ ใ
"Thanks kids!" Vincent thanked.
"Wait! Please sir, we have to redo the photo!" Athena said, she pushed passed Marinette who fell on her butt and walked towards the photographer.
"Why's that?" Mr Damocles queried
"Because Juleka's not in it!" Athena replied.
"Jule- who?" Mr Damocles was puzzled.
"How could you not possibly know your own students! Your the principal for Christ sakes!" Athena tightens her fist in anger. "Her name is Juleka Couffaine!"
"She's right!"
"Where'd she go?"
"Didn't she go to the bathroom?"
Marinette bit her bottom lip nervously, she quickly made an excuse. "Uh, Denis Damocles, don't we need to be heading off to lunch? And why aren't you paying the photographer by the hour?"
"Why yes! No time to retake, class move along, hurry up!" Mr Damocles ushered.
"Oh, lunch break!" Vincent informs.
Athena turns to Adrien and Nino. "I'll have lunch with you guys in a bit."
"Wait, where are you doing dudette?" Nino asks.
"I'm gonna go look for Juleka." Athena replies.
"Can I come with you please?" Rose frowns. "Juleka is my best friend and I wanna make sure she's safe."
Athena smiles. "Sure, Rose."
๐ฌ๏ธโ๏ธโ๏ธโ๏ธโ๏ธ
Athena and Rose entered the locker room searching for Juleka.
"Juleka? Juleka!" Rose called out.
"Let's check the bathroom. That's the first place she went." Athena suggested.
Rose nods and opened the door to the girl's bathroom. "Jule-" she gasped when she heard Juleka crying inside a stall.
"Juleka!" Athena rushed over to the stall. She moved the chair aside and opened the stall.
Juleka stands up while sniffling. "I missed the photo. Didn't I?"
"Yeah, another one of Chloe's mean tricks!" Rose informed.
Athena tightens her fist. "No one messes with my friend and gets away with it!" She was about to walk away when Juleka puts a hand on her shoulder.
"It's fine Athena." Juleka assures. "Why should I expect it to be any different? Nobody ever hears me. Or sees me. I'm invisible. Even in photos." She frowns.
"Don't say that Juleka! It's not true!" Rose protested.
"I'm sure we can fix it. I'll try and convince the photographer to retake the photo!" Athena suggested.
"Forget it. As long as Chloรฉ's in the picture, she'll find a way to keep me out of it." Juleka runs towards door.
"No, wait Juleka!" Rose called.
"Wait, Juleka! We can't just give up!" Athena called.
"Really girls, forget it. Forget me." Juleka ran out of the bathroom.
Rose was about to run after her, but Athena placed a hand on her shoulder.
"How about we just give her some space." Athena says.
Rose looks down sadly and nods.
'Chloรฉ, your gonna pay for what you did.' Athena thought.
Unknown to her, the maroon eyes glowed a bright neon blue light.
๐ฌ๏ธโ๏ธโ๏ธโ๏ธโ๏ธ
Chloรฉ and Sabrina were seen hiding behind a wall listening to Marinette, Alya and Rose conversation.
Just then, a shadow hovers them. They looked up to see Athena glaring at them.
Chloรฉ rolls her eyes. "What do you want, baker girl?"
"You better start explaining why you both decided to lock Juleka in the girl's bathroom." Athena glared daggers at them.
Chloรฉ huffed. "If you must know, I planned on locking her in the bathroom, but that other bakery girl beat me to it."
Athena furrowed her brows. "Other baker girl?"
"She means Marinette. She locked Juleka in the bathroom." Sabrina replies hesitantly.
"What?!" Athena yelled.
"Could you be any louder." Chloรฉ retorts.
Athena sighs. "Well thanks, I suppose."
"I didn't intend to help you in the first place, so don't even thank me!" Chloรฉ flips her hair. "Come Sabrina, we have better things to discuss." She strutted away.
"Coming!" Sabrina quickly followed after the spoiled brat.
Athena crossed her arms. 'So that pigtail was the one who trapped Juleka in the bathroom. If she thinks messing with my love one's is a good thing, she better watch her back.'
Just then, Athena hears talking behind the wall. She leans against the wall to get a better hearing.
"There's no point, he wouldn't want to! Unless, if the photo disappeared, the principal would have no choice but ask the photographer to shoot another one, with Juleka!" Marinette exclaims triumphantly.
"You're a genius, Marinette! But why would the photo just disappear?" Rose asks.
"You find Juleka, I'll take care of the rest!" Marinette assures.
Rose nods and ran away in sear h of her best friend.
Athena smirks. "Now let's just catch you in the act, pigtail's."
๐ฌ๏ธโ๏ธโ๏ธโ๏ธโ๏ธ
Marinette waits upstairs for Vincent and Mr Damocles to exit the office.
"So, all the material stays in the Principal's office during lunch break." Marinette states.
"I refuse to be a part of this!" Tikki told her.
"There's no time! We have to break Juleka's class photo jinx before the photographer leaves school!" Marinette says until Mr Damocles and Vincent exit the office. "Okay." She went downstairs and put her hand on the doorknob.
"There must be another way , Marinette!" Tikki insisted.
Marinette glares at her kwamii. She opened the door and walked inside. Unknown to her, Athena was seen filming Marinette with a smirk on her face.
Snowy crossed his arms. "You sure this is a good idea kid?"
"I'm certain Snowy. If Marinette thinks locking my friend in the bathroom is a good idea to get closer to Adrien, then she deserves to be exposed for her wrong doings." Athena explained.
Meanwhile, Marinette grabs the camera and began searching for the class photo. Marinette grins when finding it. Before getting a chance to delete it, she heard footsteps approaching. The blunette swiftly hide sunder the desk as Athena walked in.
"I knew this was a bad idea!" Tikki says.
Scene: Courtyard
Reflekta appears before the students and teachers. "Hello!"
"What? Who-who are you?" Mr Damocles asked.
"Nobody has ever noticed me! But those days are over! Because from now on, everybody will notice me because everyone will look like me! Time to get a new look!" Reflekta transforms principal Damocles and Vincent into duplicates of herself. "Soon there will be nothing but Reflektas everywhere!" She continues to transform people whilst other people are panicking. "No need to panic! Who doesn't love an extreme makeover?"
Students screamed in horror as they were transformed into Reflekta. Some tried to escape, but the Akumatized villain throws lockers at the main entrance, blocking their way out.
"Nobody leaves here!" Reflekta continues transforming students. She then began roaming the halls.
"Soon all of Paris will look like me, including Miss Chloรฉ Bourgeois!" She laughs evilly.
Scene: Hawkmoth's Lair
"Beautiful. It won't take long before Ladybug, Chat Noir and Winter show up to show their face!" Hawkmoth cackles.
Scene: Courtyard
Reflekta transforms two students while walking the halls. "Chloรฉ Bourgeois? Have you seen Chloรฉ Bourgeois?"
Scene: Boy's Bathroom
Adrien opens the door and notices all the Reflektas and quickly closes back the door. He then opens his jacket, releasing Plagg.
"Time to transform!" Adrien says. "Plagg, claws out!" He transforms into his alter ego, Chat Noir.
Scene: Courtyard.
Chat Noir hides behind the stairs as he examined the main entrance. "It's blocked!"
Nino peeks out of a locker room and spots Chat Noir. "Yo! Check it! Chat Noir is gonna save us!"
Chat Noir shushes him, but unfortunately Reflekta was alerted. She quickly spots him and attempts to shoot him with her beam, but he dodges.
"Okay, change of plan." Chat Noir manages to dodge more of the beams. He leaps up, grabbing the basketball hoop before trapping Reflekta in it.
He chuckles cheekily while running towards the entrance.
"Help us Chat Noir! I don't know how longer I can stand being in this body!" Ivan said behind a door.
"Cataclysm!" Chat Noir activates his power. He attempts to disintegrate the lockers until Reflekta hit him with a beam and transforms him into a copy of herself.
"Much better! I hate cats!" Reflekta smirks.
"Cataclysm!" Chat Noir tried to activate his power, but nothing appears. "Huh? My ring! My Miraculous! It's gone!"
"His Miraculous! You should've taken it before you transform him!"
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it!" Reflekta laughs. "WHERE IS CHLOร BOURGEOIS!"
Scene: Mr Damocles office
Marinette is still hiding under the desk, Athena is searching for her.
"I know you're in here Marinette. Come out, now!" Athena demands.
"Hide, tikki!" Marinette whispered. She opened her purse and Tikki quickly hides inside it. She then stood up from under the desk, pouting angrily.
"Caught red-handed, Marinette Dupain-Cheng!" Athena takes out her phone and began searching for the recorded video. "I'm sure the principal will love my video of you snooping around his office." She shows the blunette the video.
Marinette gasped in surprise. When this got her distracted, Athena quickly grabs the camera from her
