Hellooooooo! I felt bad about making ya'll wait 4 days last time so I decided to update today no matter what. And lookie, I did! :D
The answer to the question was: Adrifood! Most of you guessed it. My reasoning? Well, Ladrien is honestly my least favorite love square ship, and though I still ship it I don't love the dynamic. I actually ship Lukanette more than Ladrien. But the other love square ships are my top! :) As ladybug, mari feels pressured to be someone she's not. as adrien, he feels pressured to be someone he's not. The only time they can be free and be themselves is as Marinette and Chat Noir. Another reason why Marichat is my favorite ship like EVER.

I'm a 100% sure I missed someone...if I missed you, please let me know. I'm extremely careless and impatient XD.
And also, I've decided to make Roseka sail. I want to just build their relationship in this chapter, so there won't be any kisses or lovey-stuff in this chapter. I feel like it's too early, because I haven't given Roseka any development so far in the story. So it would be weird to just make them POOF IN LOVE this chapter. It will slowly sail, though. :)
anyways, thanks for all the reviews! (psssst, we almost hit a 1000! just a few more to go :D)
Tkoala: Thank you for reading! I'm glad you liked it! ah yes history notes suck... ;)
Dbzfreak60: me too! Roseka is an awesome ship.
KatoGS123: Haha me too!
tacocat06: Same here. Mine too! (Other than Lukanette and Adrifood of course haha) Don't worry, I get you! Before my school started, all I would do is write fanfictions, read fanfictions, and watch miraculous all day :P
QmelZ: Ohh ok lol. I don't have a specific updte schedule, but if it's going to take over a week then I will alwyays leave a note.
beardancing4: Nom nom nom adrifood yussss! :D
JanaFantasy333: I'm really glad you think so! That means a lot to me, thank you so much! :)
Guest: Thank you! Haha I ship them all. ;)
Newage416: Thank you! Yes, i feel like Chloe deserves some character development since Thomas isn't giving her much. :)
Remzal Von Enili: Aaaa yes! I've thought about that, and I completely agree that's why she was pink.
SlumberingVoid: I ship both! Oh thank god haha.
Justin: Glad you liked it! Thanks for understanding. :3
Hetalian Fairy 243: Hehe yeah I felt that was needed. I'm glad you liked it! :)
Rosie: Of course, I ship it cause it's awesome lol!
Ashley- A .Anderson: I will don't worry. ;)
Ariella: That's not a bad idea..I'm going to focus on the love square, but other ships are pretty cute too. You can ship whatever you want. :)
candyfloss5: Cool! You can ship what you want and it's totally fine. :) No prob.
Rescue Wolf: I'm glad you liked it!
SammieTheWonderFox: I'm really glad you like those parts!
XxSlytherinDemigodxX: It did, but I'm unsure. Because like, that could just be a French kiss, because Marinette and Alya did it too. or it could mean they are dating, like you said.
MiraculousLover2: I'm really glad you like it! Haha love your enthusisam.
FellowFanfictioneer: I'm glad you liked it! I appreciate your thoughts, thanks for telling me. :)
ezethinking: I've seen it! it will be after the collector though. :)
Enjoy the chapter! :)
Chapter 53: Reflekta
Scene: Collège Françoise Dupont.
Vincent: Alright, everybody look at the camera. Hahaha, they're perfect! Say spaghetti!
"What is it with him and spaghetti?" Marinette laughed. "I mean, most people say cheese. Not spaghetti."
Ms. Mendeleiev's class: Spaghetti!
(Adrien laughs while he and Nino look at each other)
Marinette: I'm gonna be in a photo with Adrien! I'm gonna be in a photo with Adrien!
"Because we're in the same class," said Adrien, amused.
Alya: Right, 'cause uh– it's a class photo and you're in the same class as Adrien.
"I get the feeling you sit through this all day, Alya," Alix snickered.
"You bet I do," said Alya, laughing.
(Marinette nods eagerly.)
Marinette: Amazing, isn't it? OH MY GOSH! What if we're standing in the same row together?
The class laughed and Marinette's face burned.
Alya: Hehe, oh girl just smile and whatever happens, don't forget to breathe!
"I don't think that's possible," Adrien teased.
"Shut up..actually fine, that's true."
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!
Rose's eyes sparkled. "And I was right! See, it worked out!"
Juleka smiled. "Thanks, Rose."
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.
"Ooo, that's unfortunate," said Kim.
(FLASHBACK: Photo with a younger Max covering Juleka's face. Another photo with a pigeon blocking Juleka's face. Another photo with Juleka nearly not in the photo.)
Adrien laughed. "Wow, you all looked so different last year."
Rose: You're wrong Juleka, you'll see!
"Definetly," said Rose encouragingly. "Because there's no such thing as a curse!"
Marinette: For sure! We'll do everything we can to make sure it goes right this time. Don't forget to smile!
"You're all very nice," said Juleka quietly, smiling.
(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.
"Must be hard being a photographer," Adrien chuckled.
(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)
Marinette smirked. "Do I need to remind you who wanted to show off in the front row three years ago?"
Chloe turned pink.
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.)
The entire class roared in laughter.
"Chloe, that was so good!" Alya smirked.
"Yes, we're totally the same height," said Adrien, grinning ear to ear. Chloe turned pink.
Vincent: Nah, go stand in the back row, behind the rest.
"Burned!"
"Not really!"
"Kinda."
Chloé: How dare you, put me behind the rest? Do you know who my father is?
Vincent: Is he a photographer?
"I doubt he cares otherwise," Adrien laughed.
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!
"Ooooooooo!" everyone chorused.
Chloé: Grrrrrrr... (Walks off.)
"Seeing Chloe mad is so entertaining," Marinette joked.
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?
"Adrien, being a cinnamon roll as usual," Alya mused.
Vincent: Perfect! You guys are awesome! Now stop squirming and let's get this photo shot! (Juleka looks at her mirror from a distance.)
Marinette: Uh, excuse me sir, you forgot Juleka.
"Why do you always need to save the day?" Chloe asked, a little irritated.
Marinette laughed. "Because it's what I do."
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!
"It's so sweet of you, Marinette," Juleka said, a little louder than usual.
Vincent: No, this isn't right! Something's not working here!
Chloé: Uhh, course it's not working! I'm in the wrong spot!
"Chloe, he couldn't care less about you..that's not even the problem," Nino snorted. "But Chloe is hilarious."
"She's my favorite character by far," Marinette teased.
Chloe scowled. "Well, he didn't put YOU in the back, did he?"
"Course not," Marinette said coolly. "I was up front with the babies, remember?"
"Ohhh good one, Marinette!" Alya laughed.
"Or should we call you Savagenette?" Adrien smirked.
Marinette's smile faded. "I told you to NOT call me that!" she scowled.
The class laughed.
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's rude of him to say," said Rose. "It's not nice!"
Chloé: My spot is unacceptable! (Chloé jumps down a row and pushes Juleka but Juleka pushes back.)
"Chloe, seriously? You're standing in the back. So get over it and stop throwing a hissy fit!" Alya rolled her eyes.
Marinette: That's right Juleka, don't let her push you out of the way!
Caline: Ms. Bourgeois, behave yourself!
Chloé: Hey! Nobody asked you loudmouth!
"Did you just call the teacher a loudmouth?" Marinette's mouth flew open. "I swear, I never heard that."
Chloe gritted her teeth. "I might have overreacted a little."
Adrien: This isn't gym class, you know Chlo!
"Adrien..of course, he finds a way to make a joke out of the situation," Marinette chuckled.
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.)
Chloe winced as everybody went into another round of loud laughter.
"Yeah, she's definitely my favorite character," Marinette smirked.
Mr. Damocles: Please Chloé, we still have sixteen classes to photograph! Go ahead Vincent.
Vincent: Say spaghetti!
"Why not some hamburgers while you're at it?"
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.)
"Right at the last second," Juleka sighed. "Talk about bad luck."
Rose put a hand on her shoulder. "Come on! It all worked out in the end, didn't it?"
Juleka smiled. "It sure did."
Juleka: Can I go to the bathroom?
Caline: Yes Juleka, but hurry!
Mr. Damocles: Ms. Bustier! He said nobody is to move!
Caline: 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.)
"Chloe," Juleka gritted her teeth. "It was Chloe. Again. I should have known."
Rose scowled. "Not nice, Chloe."
"And making Sabrina do the work for you again?" Marinette sighed.
"I'm sorry, okay?" said Chloe. "But I wanted to be next to Adrien so badly."
"I wanted to be with Adrien so badly too," Marinette rolled her eyes. "But you shouldn't do it at the cost of other people missing out on the photo."
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.)
Everyone looked at the screen in disgust. Chloe, being the usual Chloe. At least she had changed now.
Scene: Court of the school
Vincent: We're back in business! (Sabrina gives Chloé a thumbs up and Chloé grins jumping next to Adrien.)
"You're so happy," said Rose, upset. "You don't even care about Juleka!"
Chloe turned away sheepishly. "I realize what I did was wrong, but what do you want me to do about it? Honestly, it's not even that big of a deal-"
"Yes it is!" Alya said, mad. "It's mean and selfish!"
"Can't argue with that, sorry Chlo," Adrien shrugged somewhat aplogetically.
Chloe sighed. "Alright, but I can't do anything about that now."
Marinette: Hey! What are you doing? Where's Juleka!
"At least you remembered me," Juleka muttered.
"What?" Rose asked.
"Nothing."
Adrien: How'd she get here?
Chloé: Urgh, Who cares? At last, I'm in the right spot!
"You mean the spot you stole," Rose scowled.
"Leave it Rose, it's fine. She spologized," Juleka said quietly, giving Chloe a strangled sort of smile. Chloe blinked, surprised, then returned the smile. Well, somewhat at least.
Vincent: I want you to flash your best smiles! Because it's the last time we are doing this!
Marinette: (gasps) WAIT!
Vincent: (He takes the picture) Thanks kids!
Marinette: Oh wait! Please sir, we have to redo the photo!
Principal Damocles: Why's that?
Marinette: That's cause Juleka's not in it!
"Thank you, Marinette," said Juleka. "It makes me feel better that some people remembered me."
Principal Damocles: Jule-who?
Juleka looked down sadly.
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?
Marinette rolled her eyes. "Very clever, Chloe."
Mr. Damocles: Why yes! No time to retake, class move along, now!
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!
"Awww."
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.
"That's not true!" said Alix.
"Yeah, we're all your friends," Marinette reminded her.
Juleka smiled. "Thank you."
Rose: Don't say that Juleka! It's not true!
"I'm sorry I didn't listen to you, you were only trying to help me," Juleak apologized quietly.
Rose squeezed her hand. "Don't worry! I know you were upset. Anyone would have been."
Juleka: Forget it. As long as Chloé's in the picture, she'll find a way to keep me out of it.
Chloe looked away in shame.
Rose: No, wait Juleka!
Juleka: Really Rose, forget it. Forget me. (She runs away from the school to a park bench.)
Rose's normally cheery, peppy face was more darkened than usual, upset to see Juleka cry.
"We'd never forget you!" said Adrien.
"Yeah, Chloe won't do that again. Right, Chloe?" Mylene glared pointedly at her.
Chloe looked down. "Right."
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!
"We can always count on Marinette," Alya laughed. "If she has to sneak into the principal's office to do it, then she will."
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!
"I sense a plan," Adrien grinned. "Is it as twisted and complicated as normal?"
Marinette laughed. "You'll see."
Rose: You're a genius, Marinette!
"What else is new?" Adrien smirked.
Rose: But why would the photo just disappear?
Marinette: You find Juleka, I'll take care of the rest!
"You're our everyday Ladybug," Juleka murmured, smiling.
Marinette blushed. "Thanks..I guess?"
Chloé: (Hiding with Sabrina around a corner) She's not ruining my perfect photo with Adrien! Think of something, fast!
"Don't you care if the rest of the class looks good in the picture as long as you're next to Adrien?" Marinette sighed.
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.)
Juleka winced.
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!
"Usually Marinette is the goody-goody," Alix sniggered.
"Um, excuse me? She snuck into the boys locker room to steal my phone. Then she also snuck into an all-guys party when Wayhem was akumatized," Adrien reminded her. "Not to mention she completely kicks supervillain butts everyday. So I wouldn't really call her a goody-goody."
Marinette giggled. "Fair points."
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.
"I know I already thanked you, but you risked suspension to get rid of my class photo curse so I'll thank you again," Juleka smiled.
"Anything for a friend," said Marinette.
Tikki: There must be another way, Marinette!
"Listen to Tikki, she's never wrong," Adrien laughed.
"I need to start doing that," Marinette agreed.
(Chloé filming Marinette with her phone and smirks. Meanwhile, Marinette goes through the photos. Chloé walks in with Sabrina. Marinette hides behind the desk. )
Tikki: I knew this wasn't a good idea!
"That's proof you should always listen to Tikki, she's wise even though she's tiny," Alya grinned.
"Size doesn't make a difference," Tikki smiled. "Plus, I'm thousands of years older than all of you, so I've had wearers who got themselves into even bigger messes."
"Messier than mine?" Marinette joked.
"Sometimes," said Tikki, giggling.
(On the school grounds Reflekta appears before the students and teachers.)
Reflekta: Hello!
Principal 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!
Juleka fliched and said quietly, "I don't even get Hawkmoth's logic. Nobody notices me, so I make everyone look like me? Like, what..?"
Marinette shook her head. "What I didn't get was how you talked so much. Usually, you're more quiet."
"I feel weird when speaking aloud," Juleka smiled slightly. "It's hard to believe that's me."
Hawk Moth: Beautiful. It won't be long before Ladybug and Cat Noir show their face!
"Was that a pun?"
"Maybe."
Reflekta: Chloé Bourgeois? Have you seen Chloé Bourgeois?
"Is it just me or does every single supervillain want to chase after Chloe?" Marinette snorted.
"It's not just you," said Chloe. "Seriously, I can't go a day without supervillains chasing me around Paris."
"It's your own fault," Alix leaned back in her chair. "I mean, they don't just get mad for no reason. You were really mean to Juleka."
"Doesn't give her the right to go transforming everyone into ugly pink monsters!" Chloe scoffed. "Uh, no offense."
"None taken," Juleka mumbled, smiling a little. "I didn't really like the Reflekta costume either. Too bright."
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!
Nino smiled sheepishly. "Oops, sorry dude."
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)
"You look so hot, Adrien," said Marinette. "Seriously, I think I'm dying from the overload of cuteness."
Everyone laughed.
Adrien turned red. "I didn't WANT to wear heels! And speaking of which, those things are SO uncomfortable. Who the heck invented them?"
Reflekta: Much better! I hate cats!
Cat Noir: Cataclysm! Huh? What? My ring, my Miraculous, it's gone!
Everyone gasped.
"Wait," said Nino. "That's a good thing. She won't be able to take your miraculous!"
"Yeah, but I'm pretty much useless now," Adrien sighed.
Hawk Moth: His Miraculous! You should've taken it before you transformed him!
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. (stands up and faces Chloe)
Chloé: Aha! Caught red-handed Marinette Dupain-Cheng! The principal would love my video of you snooping around in his office! (Sabrina laughs)
"Seriously?" Adrien rolled her eyes. "Technically, you were breaking into the office too."
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!
The class snickered. Chloe blushed.
Chloé: No!
Marinette: Hand it over, Chloé!
"How do you do that? Bribing isn't as easy as it looks, I'm guessing," said Alya.
(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.)
Marinette: Give me that card!
Chloé: Give me back my phone!
Marinette: Give me the card or I'll keep your phone!
"Oooooooo!"
"Girl drama!" Adrien joked. "Is this how all girls fight?"
Marinette laughed. "Pretty much."
"Well, it's entertaining," said Adrien, grinning.
Chloé: Ha! You can keep the phone! I'll just buy another one!
"Your dear ol' daddy will buy it for you," Kim guessed.
"Daddy will get me whatever I want!"
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?
Marinette rolled her eyes.
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!
"That's so creepy," Juleka shuddered.
"Um, also," said Mylene. "By turning everyone into your copy, doesn't that make you MORE invisible?"
"I guess."
"Yeah, good point."
Chloé: Eugh! Gross! (tries to escape but gets zapped by Reflekta's ray) What in the? Do you realize how much my outfit cost!?
"That's seriously what you care about?"
Reflekta: You should be thanking me! You look a thousand times better looking like this! (continues laughing)
"She's right, you know," Adrien teased.
Chloe shot him a death glare.
"I-No, I'm just kidding!" he said quickly. Marinette smirked.
Marinette: (She runs into the library) Time to transform!
[ Transformation Sequence ]
Marinette: Tikki, spots on! Yeah! (Marinette transforms into Ladybug)
So I just wanted to say one thing. I'm getting the scripts of the episodes online, but to double check, I rewatch the episode and fill in any missing/wrong parts. That's also one of the reasons I don't update like, daily. (not all the time anyways) Because I need time to watch the episode as well. And anyways, I was rereading and I noticed some errors in the script, so if you notice anything in the script that's wrong, please let me know so I can edit the chapter. :)
The question for this chapter is: Which side of her do I like better? Ladybug or Marinette?
Bug out! :)
