A/N: Think I have around five more stuff I've written for this AU that still needs to be edited and then uploaded here. After that, I may or may not do a "final" chapter with fresh content and then end it there. Wow.

'Hey there been a few days. Did the money thing get sorted yet? In any case for your consideration: Kiss AU Reflekdoll episode. (I'm a sucker for Lady Noire). But seeing as they have to kiss to transform you might have to get creative as to why they swapped.'

The day starts off with Juleka wanting to model Marinette's new designs and trying her best to get over her anxiety and fear. It's one of her dreams to become a model and she would love nothing more than to be as cool and confident as her friend, Adrien, and ask her friend if she could be a candidate.

The photos were going to be semi-professionally shot for Marinette's website and the last thing Juleka wants is to botch it up somehow despite Rose's encouragements and despite knowing that the rest of the girl group would adore it if their quiet friend wanted to help out. Thankfully, Luka gives her some good brotherly yet silly words, clipping her hair to the side so that the rest of her lovely face was revealed.

"Jules, just relax. You are a sonnet swaying upon the river. You are a glowing melody waiting to shine and become the sun. You are-"

"Luka. I know you mean well and I know you're trying to help, but I cannot understand a word you're saying."

"...Go kick ass."

"Thank you,"

Adrien has already been decided to model for Marinette's site; after all, it's not the first time he's done it and certainly isn't the last. Additionally, they're also looking for someone else to model as a feminine looking counterpart to emphasise that the designs are unisex and gender-neutral. Adrien has suggested numerous times for Marinette to model alongside him but she keeps on shying out.

"But you're so beautiful and your designs always look so cute on you! Come on Marinette~"

"No-ooo, we need someone taller, someone with a chic style, someone who would look level with you,"

"No one else looks better with me than you,"

"Pfft. Flirt."

"I'm being serious. I'll even ask the other girls for their opinions and I can guarantee that they'd all agree with me."

"DON'TYOUDARE-"

Before the silly heroes in disguise could delve further with their banter, Juleka timidly appears with her new hairdo, asking so shyly if she can model. Everyone else just melts on the spot and gives her a huge hug- Adrien included. He and Marinette could model another time but he's super happy that Juleka is trying to come out of her comfort zone.

He kind of sees Juleka as an older sister and he's ecstatic to work with her.

Afterwards, in Marinette's room where everyone is setting everything up, Juleka not only freezes up and has a panic attack, she faints on the spot because she's so overwhelmed and her body was riddled with anxiousness. When she comes to, everyone's apologising to her, trying their best to help her out.

"Do you need us to call the ambulance, Juleka?"

"Do you need some water? Here drink some water,"

"How are you feeling, Jules?"

"It's okay, Juleka. You're okay, just take a few deep breaths and- hold on- eH!? Marinette!? Ma belle- you put all those bandages away! She fainted- she didn't break a bone!"

Even though she was quite warmed by everyone else's love and care for her, Juleka felt guilty and thought she's ruined everything so she takes a break downstairs and changed back into her original clothes. Rose comes down to check on her and then tried to give her some encouraging words and some sweet kisses to help lift her girlfriend's spirits.

Meanwhile, the rest of the girls finally convinced Marinette to dress up in Jules' place since Adrien really needed to head out soon for a fencing class and they had to cheer him on there.

When the duo change into the outfits to be modelled, both Tikki and Plagg warn them about taking off the miraculous but they get brushed off without a glance.

"Don't get mad at me when I say 'I told you so' afterwards!"

"Oh, you don't have to worry about that because nothing is going to happen, Plagg!"

Adrien totally sees Marinette checking him out and combusting on the spot with a face redder than a tomato. Being the absolute devilish cat he is, he wraps an arm around her shoulder, asking "What did you say just now?" in the most innocent tone possible. Marinette gets revenge by replying back with "I said that you're lucky that everyone else is here otherwise I'd have kissed you till you passed out cos you're so unbelievably hot. Satisfied?!" Adrien turns into a puddle of happiness and shyness.

Although they managed to get all the professional and promotional pictures taken, the girls made Marinette and Adrien do some romantic poses as well for the sake of it and for their secret 'Adrinette' pre-wedding album. There are a few pictures of Adrien dipping Marinette with a mischievous smile whilst there's another a couple more where she's holding him bridal style and wearing a smug grin.

Rose left earlier on to join the group whilst Juleka brooded alone in Marinette's room (even though she told Rose to leave). She couldn't help but hate the fact that her anxiousness often got in ways where she couldn't grasp the opportunities she wanted and that she tended to make her friends worry about her.

A darker part of her also hated that her friends continued with the photo shoot and didn't stay in the room with her even though Juleka was aware that it was a petty and childish thought.

"Poupéflekta, je suis le Papillon...

When Marinette and Adrien realised that a giant sentimonstre has surfaced, they immediately hide away together to avoid getting hit by its beam and turning into a Poupéflekta clone. They quickly kiss with the intent to transform only to open their eyes in shock when they see that it wasn't working. They try again plenty of times before they realise that they don't have their miraculous with them.

"Why- Mm!- Isn't- Hnn!- It- M- WORKING!?" Marinette growled out after the umpteenth kiss, fingers digging into her partner's shoulders whilst his were practically clawing her waist. The chaotic duo tried to catch their breath, panting and confused, lips brushing against one another and already bruising from the frustrated kisses.

"Have we levelled up or something? Do we need to use more tongue? Is there any other-" Adrien was halted when he spotted Marinette's brows furrowing. She quickly picked up his hand, eyes widening at the lack of the ring and then immediately shot her hands to her ears.

"Our miraculous is still in your bodyguard's car along with Tikki and Plagg..." Both of their skins paled before simultaneously rushing towards the vehicle, trying their utmost best to avoid the blasts.

Unfortunately, not only do they get separated, they get turned into Poupéflekta clones. However, they're soon approached by the kwamis and immediately transform in order to find the other with no time to savour the new rush of transformation magic.

Mister Bug is quick to find Lady Noire amidst the battlefield, catching her eye so that she can follow him.

With Mister Bug dangling upside down with the yo-yo and Lady Noire peering up at him with a fanged smirk, they re-enact the famous Spiderman kiss, giggling at the sensations. As a result, they feel more of their powers rushing in which promptly causes Buggaboy to fall down in a slump. (They didn't notice Alya who's transformed as another Poupéflekta clone, taking a few pictures for her blog and awing at the new suits).

There is plenty of banter, extraordinarily clumsy teamwork and many, many close calls. They even fall into a few petty arguments a handful of times and got sidetracked in the battle. The duo soon then agrees on instead of trying to be LIKE each other in the suit, they should follow their instincts and master each others' miraculous in their ways.

Marinette manages that with ease because her shoulders are lightened from the responsibility of coming up with plans from her bizarre lucky charms and putting the city back together like new. On the other hand, it takes a while for Adrien to follow suit because he usually didn't take the reigns with the plans and he certainly wasn't allowed to sacrifice himself now with the Ladybug miraculous at stake.

With a few helpful pointers from his Lady, he manages to work out a brilliant plan and they both finally saved the day.

"Always told you that you'd make a great kitten, My Lady~" Mister Bug coos, kissing the tip of his partner's braid with a wink and then gratefully kissing her cheek for helping him out despite her teasing. She in turn playfully rolled her eyes, flicking his chest.

"Though I do miss your bell, you look lovely in spots," She winked back, laughing at the way the boy practically swooned and the way his green eyes glittered with adoration. "What is with the extra padding though? Trying to achieve that superhero abs look?" She knocked on his chest playfully, internally filing away of how solid it was.

"Padding? But they're real."

"W-What?"

"If you don't believe me, I can always strip for you?"

"NO THANKS!" The boy only cocked his head to the side innocently as his counterpart babbled incoherently.

"But you've felt them up before during our kissing sessions, My Lady," If he thought that she was babbling before, it was nothing compared to the gibberish that exploded from her mouth now.

After the dust has settled, the girls regroup with Marinette and Adrien. Juleka apologises to them all for getting akumatised but everyone is quick to assure that it's not her fault at all and that they can do the shoot again so that Juleka can model. With a few puppy eyes to Gorilla, the bodyguard happily let them go.

The day ends with brilliant photos of Juleka and her excellent modelling, along with many silly pictures of the whole group together and also a few with Rose snagging a few kisses from the taller girl.
