"Today we're going to take be working at the Allard Hotel." Alzack told his class. It was going to be a busy day. "Each of you will be assigned jobs to help give you a better understanding of a work ethic and responsibility. You'll also be graded on your performance and how well you all do." Everyone in Lucy's class was assigned a job. With help from the staff, all of them were working in the hotel. Taylor was really enjoying it as she was spending the whole day with Natsu behind the front desk.

"I bet I know who helped her daddy with the assignments." Levy said as she, Erza, and Lucy were off to the side.

"Mayor Allard, we would like to thank you for giving the students this opportunity." Mirajane said as she and Alzack were talking with him.

"It's my pleasure. It will do these youngsters some good to learn some responsibility." Aidan said. Alzack soon spotted the girls and saw they weren't doing much.

"Sir, it would seem that Levy, Erza, and Lucy haven't been given their assignments yet." Alzack said and got Aidan to notice.

"Of course. I'm sorry." Aidan said as he looked over for them on a list. "That's strange. I don't see any of them on the list."

"Daddy! Over here!" Taylor called as she had an extension of the list. Aidan took it and saw what the girls were given.

"Here we are. Erza and Levy...garbage-women." Aidan said with both of them shocked that they do that.

"I'm going to ring her by her neck and..." Erza said with fury, but Levy stopped her from doing anything.

"Forget it, Erza. Let's just do it. Sorry, Natsu, but it does look like you're stuck with the trashiest trash." Levy said to annoy Taylor. The two of them just went with it.

"What about me?" Lucy asked as the mayor looked over his list. That was right when someone came in through the front door. It was none other than the infamous star, Erik, with his assistant, Kinana, and a giant snake as his pet.

"Erik Cobra!" Lucy said with excitement as that was her favorite singer.

"This is the Allard Hotel, right? I like to check in." Erik said.

"Excuse me, but you can't bring that snake in here." Aidan sternly said.

"Daddy!" Taylor called and got his attention. "That is Erik Cobra. He's one of the best singers, rockers, and more. In other words, he's got tons of money. He clearly wants to stay here." As soon as she mentioned how much this guy could be worth, Aidan had a change of attitude.

"Of course! Mr. Cobra! We humbly welcome you to the Aidan Hotel! Please make yourself at home." Aidan said.

"Cool. I am going to need some massage oil and a heated lamp for Cubellios. She needs a little special care." Erik said.

"Of course." Aidan said as he walked over to Kinana by mistake. "Miss Cubellios, we can give you anything you desire as well."

"Thank you, but I'm Kinana."

"She's my assistant. This is Cubellios." Erik said as he referred to his pet snake. Having a snake in the hotel could be a problem, but the mayor will have to find a way to make it work for Erik's satisfaction. While they were discussing the details, Lucy spotted some sort of photographer sneak his way into the hotel. He hid behind a chair and tried getting photos.

"Excuse me, but there's someone hiding back there!" Lucy said as she pointed at him. They all looked to where she was pointing and spotted him.

"Oh no. Not him again." Erik complained.

"Erik Cobra! Cool!" The photographer said as he came out. "I'm Jason! Remember me?! Staying at the Allard Hotel? Cool! The best hotel in Paris for the best rocker!" He tried moving closer, but Erik had Cubellios nearly take a bite out of him. "Sir, please. Just some photos."

"I don't think so." Kinana said as she snatched his camera out of his hands. "Get out now." She pushed him out of the hotel.

"Wait. Mr. Cobra, please." Jason pleaded as he wanted to stick around.

"Beat it, you freak! Quit following me around!" Erik said as he was fed up with him. He turned to Aidan for one more request. "Another thing. Don't let that guy back in. He won't leave me alone." Aidan understood and can do that. As for Chris, he was thrown out of the hotel with Kinana throwing his camera, but he caught it like it was the most precious thing in the world.

"Good catch. Now don't let me see you near Erik again." Kinana said.

"Wait. I'm just doing my job." Chris said.

"We're not interested. Go away or I'll make sure you never take another photo in Paris." Kinana said as she went back inside with the doorman blocking his path with Gajeel. Chris was really upset about being denied this. To a photographer, being told you can't take a photo of what you want the most is a hard pill to swallow.

...

Black Wizard

"A passionate and enthusiastic photographer being told he can't take photos. That's too bad, but good for my etherious." Black Wizard said. He had an etherious land in his hands and gave it power. "Flyaway, my little etherious, and evillize him!"

...

Jason

Jason was just walking and was on his way home. The etherious was drawn to his misery. When it reached him, the etherious went into his camera and was giving him power.

"Photograbber, I'm Black Wizard. They say that when you take a photo, you capture a person's soul. I'm giving you the power to capture people. In exchange, you must bring me the miraculous of Celestria and Salamondra. Do we have a deal?"

"I can take photos of whoever I want? Sounds like it could be so cool. I'm in." Jason said as he began to change into his villain form.

...

The Hotel

After settling things with Erik, Aidan showed the way to the hotel. He could tell it was going to be a hassle having this guy around.

"Mayor Allard, you haven't told Lucy what job she will be doing." Alzack said. The mayor went back to that as he looked for Lucy's name.

"Here we are. I have Lucy as a gopher." Aidan said.

"A what?" Lucy questioned.

"A gopher is someone who goes and get things done." Aidan said. "In fact, that is just what we need for Mr. Cobra here. With these requests he would have, we're going to need someone to run a few errands and get some items he's asking for. One of the things he's asking for is a pair of sunglasses with red, white, and blue Eiffel Towers on them. He's looking to add some Paris-style to his upcoming performances."

"So I'm suppose to go and get them?" Lucy said. "That doesn't sound so bad." Lucy thought this job would be easy, but she'll learn that it won't be as easy as she thinks.

...

Lucy

Lucy searched around for these sunglasses that Erik asked for. She did buy a pair, but they weren't exactly what he wanted. They were just regular sunglasses with small Eiffel Towers on the side.

"There we go. That was easy. I can get back to the hotel now and hopefully hang out with Natsu." Lucy said.

"Lucy, those aren't the sunglasses Erik asked for." Stella said from Lucy's purse.

"Well, what am I suppose to do? The kind he's asking for doesn't exist." Lucy said. "These are close enough."

"It's better to do the job right the first time." Stella said.

"I'm sure it's fine, Stella." Lucy said. She thought she had the job done, but that's not exactly the case.

...

The Hotel

Lucy went back to the hotel. She was giving Erik the glasses, but he didn't exactly like what he saw.

"What is this?" Erik asked. "These aren't what I asked for. You can't even see the Eiffel Towers on them." He just threw them away as he wasn't happy with what Lucy brought.

"They seem to fine to me. The kind you're asking for doesn't exist." Lucy said. "What was I suppose to do?"

"Not my problem." Erik said as he turned away from her and went to attending Cubellios and worked on his music. Kinana guided Lucy to the door and tried to cheer her up.

"I'm sorry about that. He's just in a bad mood." Kinana said. "Give it another try. I'm sure you can think of something." She ushered Lucy out the door, but Lucy just wasn't sure what to do.

"I told you so. You should have done the job right the first time." Stella said.

"I suppose you're right. I don't want to spend all day looking for those glasses and doing demands, but what am I suppose to do?" Lucy questioned.

"Be creative. Just because those glasses don't exist doesn't mean there is no answer." Stella said. "Just use your imagination and tried to think. It's what you're best at." Lucy tried to do that and it soon came to her.

"I got it!" Lucy said. Lucy headed for the door with her passing Natsu and Taylor on the way.

"Failed as a gopher already? Not surprised. Don't let the door hit you on your way out." Taylor said.

"I'm not giving up yet. I'll be back soon." Lucy said with full confidence. She took off and went to put her plan into action. When she left, Photograbber headed to the hotel. He had his camera going around his head over his eyes. His blonde pointy hair turned into bangs that parted to the right. He also wore a black jumpsuit with him wearing sky blue boots and that color around his arms. He also had a circle in the center of his chest that looked like a piece of lens.

"What's with this guy?" Gajeel asked as he was helping the doorman.

"May we help you?" The doorman asked.

"Smile." Photograbber said as he moved his finger to a button on his camera. Both of them posed and smiled thinking they were about to take their photo. In reality, he fired a beam at both of them and they vanished in pixels. He walked right inside with him catching the attention of Taylor and Natsu.

"Watch and see how it's done, Natsu." Taylor said as she walked over. "Excuse me. Hey, fashion challenge. Only big time people are allowed in this hotel."

"Aren't you a pretty thing." Photograbber said as he was about to take a photo of her with Taylor posing for it.

"Move, Taylor!" Natsu said as he knew this guy was trouble. He moved fast and pushed her out of the way, but he wasn't fast enough. He got a picture of both of them and they both vanished. With Salamondra unknowingly captured, this could be a great problem for Celestria.

...

Natsu and Taylor

Natsu and Taylor were transported somewhere. There was nothing around them. It was just a wide open white space. It was really nothing except them there.

"What is this place? Where are we?" Taylor asked. "I'm calling Daddy." She reached for her phone and tried calling him, but her phone wasn't working. "No service? What is this place?!"

"I think we were downloaded or something." Natsu said. He had a look around and saw there was absolutely nothing there. "This doesn't look good. I don't know where we are, but it looks like we're trapped here."

"We are?!" Taylor said as she cling to Natsu in fear, but soon realized it was just the two of them there. "You mean... Just you and me?" She liked that part, but Natsu didn't. This also means he can't do anything as Salamondra.

...

Lucy

Lucy put her creative skills to action. She took an old pair of sunglasses and was trying to fix them up the way that Erik wanted them. She fixed up a pair of sunglasses with the lenses having red, white, and blue Eiffel Towers on them.

"There we go. I sure hope these work." Lucy said.

"I'm sure you did a great job, Lucy." Stella said as she continued to encourage Lucy. Once Lucy was done with them, she hurried back to the hotel. When she got there, she saw no sign of Natsu and Taylor.

"Hello? Anyone here?" Lucy asked. "Great. I bet Natsu and Taylor went off somewhere fun. Natsu..." She said with disappointment that she can't be around him.

"Focus, Lucy. Focus on giving those sunglasses to Erik." Stella said. Lucy knew Stella was right. When she went up to the suite he was staying in, she gave the glasses to Kinana.

"Thank you. I'll give these to Erik." Kinana said. "He's trying to give Cubelios a bath right now."

"Just trying to do the job right. Thank you." Lucy said as she walked away from Kinana. At the same time, Photograbber was going from one room to the next to try and find Erik. He soon found the right room with Kinana opening the door with him knocking on it.

"Who are you?" Kinana asked.

"Smile." Photograbber said. He took a photo of her and sent her away. Lucy heard the sound that was made when that happened with Photograbber making his way in.

"That doesn't let go. Time to transform." Lucy said as she went inside the hotel to change. "Stella, Twinkle!" Stella was pulled into the earrings and allowed Lucy to become Celestria. As for Erik, he was still taking care of Cubellios.

"Okay, Cubellios. Wait right there." Erik said as he stepped away to get something for Cubellios. When that happened, he heard something. He turned around and saw Cubellios was gone with Photograbber in the room.

"Erik Cobra, I finally have you. Smile." Photograbber said as he was about to take another picture, but Celestria used her whip and threw him into the wall.

"Sorry, but you're not allowed to take pictures here." Celestria said.

"Stay out of this Celestria. That is if you want me to take your picture as well." Photograbber said. He tried shooting her with his camera, but she moved out of the way and avoided each of his attempts to take her photo. "Stand still. I hate motion blurred pictures." He kept trying to take a photo of her. She ducked behind the wall and cautiously waited for him to make a move. "Mr. Cobra, smile pretty." Photograbber turned back to Erik and was about to take his picture, but Celestria acted fast. She used her whip on a piece of furniture and threw it at him in the back. When he was down, she hurried to Photograbber and got a hold of him.

"Let's go!" Celestria said as she threw her whip outside and allowed her to escape with her holding Erik. Photograbber got up and looked out the window, but saw they were already gone.

"Remember our deal, Photograbber. You must bring me Celestria's miraculous." Black Wizard said.

"What do I care about that? Not cool. I only want that shot of Erik Cobra." Photograbber said.

"You better care." Black Wizard said. He used his power and was causing Photograbber pain. He was forced to obey Black Wizard.

"Okay! Okay! I'll do it!" Photograbber said. It looks like that photo he wants will have to wait a little longer.

...

The Highschool

"Thank you for allowing me to hide Erik Cobra here, Principle Conbolt." Celestria said. She went all the way to the school to hide Erik there. "It should be safe here since Photograbber wouldn't think to find Erik here."

"You sure things are going to be okay?" Erik asked.

"Positive, but I do need you to tell me what you can about that photographer that's been following you." Celestria said. "He must have been etheriouized to become this villain."

"Jason? He's a reporter and a paparazzo. He's always trying to get photos and is a little too eccentric." Erik said. Celestria pulled out her whip and generated a keyboard. She did a background check on Jason and found where he lives.

"I need to find out more about this guy. Maybe I can find a way to beat him. In the meantime, you need to lay low and stay out of sight." Celestria said as she showed herself out. She hopes that she might actually beat this foe because if he gets a shot of her, it's all over.

...

Photograbber

Now that Photograbber was getting serious about claiming the miraculous. He made his way to Arc de Triomphe. He figured he can force Celestria and Salamondra to come out of hiding.

"Smile, everyone!" Photograbber called. He took photos of random people and sent all of them away. To a craze photographer, this was a gold mine. Bisca Cornell soon arrived with her cameraman and tried getting a word.

"Excuse me, do you have a word for all our viewers?" Bisca asked.

"Erik Cobra better surrender himself to me, as well as Celestria and Salamondra surrendering their miraculous. Otherwise, there's going to be a photo session that no one is going to forget." Photograbber said. He proved his point when he took a shot of Bisca as well. Soon, he's going to have a whole photo collage.

...

Natsu and Taylor

Natsu and Taylor continued to roam around the large white space, but they weren't really getting anywhere. It just went on forever. That was a problem. Taylor kept trying to get her cellphone to work, but nothing was getting through.

"I still can't reach Daddy. This is the worst." Taylor complained. As for Natsu, he opened up his shirt to talk to Igneel.

"What do I do? I can't transform, but there's no way out?" Natsu asked, but Igneel didn't really have an answer. This wasn't looking good at all. "Wait. Did you hear something?"

...

Celestria

Celestria was able to find out where Jason lives. When she did, she went right in his apartment. She had a look around and saw photography equipment and photos everywhere.

"This guy really gets in his work." Celestria said. As she looked around, she soon spotted something. She looked at the wall and saw framed photos of moving people. It was all the people that Photograbber captured. "What the...?"

"Celestria, over here! It's me! Taylor Allard!" She looked at one and spotted Natsu and Taylor together.

"Celestria, you need to get us out of here." Natsu said.

"What's going on? How did all of you get here?" Celestria asked.

"We were in the Arc de Triomphe when this man with a strange camera took a photo of us and we ended up here." A man said. Some people were saying the same thing. This was getting serious as she could see Photograbber was attacking random people now.

"I hope Salamondra is there already." Celestria said.

...

Erik

Erik and Macao watched the news from his office. They saw Photograbber continue to capture people. Knowing his demands, there was only one thing he can do.

"I've got to do it. I've got to meet Photograbber's demands." Erik said.

"Are you crazy? He's a supervillain." Macao said.

"I've got to help my fans...plus I can't pass the chance to be on television." Erik said.

...

Arc de Triomph

Photograbber continued to capture people. The police tried to stop him, but he captured most of them as well. Celestria tried moving as fast as she could to get there and stop him.

"Photograbber!" Celestria called and got his attention. "Enough of this. You must release the people you've captured."

"You're not the one giving demands." Photograbber said as he tried blasting her with his camera. She moved out of the way and avoided each of his shots, but she knows she can't keep this up. She needs to find a way to outsmart him.

"Hold on." Celestria said and got him to stop. "If you capture me, you won't be able to find Erik. I'm the only one that knows where he is." That seemed to have got him to settle down. Now she just needs a way to get those lenses over his eyes. "If you do release those you captured, I'll take you to Erik."

"I'll release half and release the rest when you take me to him. I'm not as foolish as you might think." Photograbber said. Celestria had no choice. She had to accept the terms to free some of the people. By confirming that she agrees, he reached for a button on his camera and releases half of those he captured.

...

Natsu and Taylor

Luckily, half of the people that was released included Natsu and Taylor. They found themselves back in the lobby of the hotel.

"Finally. Although, at least we were together, Natsu." Taylor said, but she saw him already running out the door. "Natsu?" Natsu was moving as fast as he could and soon found a spot for him to transform as he let Igneel out.

"We better hurry. Celestria might need us. Igneel, Fire Up!"

...

Arc de Triomph

"It's done. Now you must take me to Erik." Photograbber demanded. Celestria will have to think carefully about this. She can't put anymore innocents in danger.

"Hey! Here I am!" Erik called as he showed himself at the top of the car. He was right where Photograbber wanted him.

"No!" Celestria said as she tried to get to him, but Photograbber kicked her back so she wouldn't interfere.

"Perfect. Now get in a good pose." Photograbber said. Erik tried getting in the right pose, but Celestria needed to do something fast.

"Open the Celestial Gate!" Celestria used her powers and was given a sack of flour. "A sack of Virgo flour? What am I suppose to do with this?" She looked around to see what she can use. She didn't know what to do until she saw Salamondra arrive at the last minute. When she saw him, she knew what to do now. The two of them didn't need words. They trusted each other. As for Erik, he was in a rock pose with his eyes closed.

"Open your eyes! I want this to be perfect!" Photograbber said.

"Salamondra!" Celestria called as she tossed the sack into the air. Salamondra tossed his staff and it smashed into the sack and flour fell all around on Photograbber.

"My camera!" Photograbber complained. He took it off and tried to clean it off. Celestria took the chance as she jumped in the air and used her whip to take his camera from him. Once she got it, she smashed it against the ground with the etherious flying out.

"No more evildoing for you, little etherious. Time to de-evillize!" Celestria activated her hip and tossed it with her catching the etherious. "Gotcha! Bye-Bye, little guy." She said as she released it. "Miraculous Starlight!" She tossed what was left of the sack in the air and unleashed streams of stars that released all those who were still captured. It also caused Photograbber to become Jason again.

"Pound it!" Both heroes said as they bumped fists.

...

Black Wizard

"You may have escaped capture this time, Celestria, but I will get you eventually." Black Wizard said. "It won't be a photo finish. Your miraculous will soon be mine!"

...

The Allard Hotel

"Thank you for the experience Mayor Allard." Alzack said. After a crazy day of fighting a villain, Lucy's class got back on the right track with their class assignment with it also ending.

"It was my pleasure." Aidan said.

"Hey! Hold on!" Erik called as he came down. Everyone was amazed that they were seeing him in the flesh and wondered what he wanted.

"I bet he's here to tell you how much you failed, Heartfilia." Taylor mocked.

"You're name is Lucy, right?" Erik asked as he came to her.

"Yes..." Lucy said.

"First, I want to apologize for my behavior earlier. I was just in a bad mood." Erik said. "Second, I want to thank you for these glasses. They're awesome." He said as he showed the shades she made. "Where did you get them?"

"Actually, I made them myself." Lucy said.

"Really? You got some talent." Erik said. "Well, this is my way of saying thanks and apologizing. Here. Four tickets to my concert." He gave her four tickets and she couldn't believe this just happened to her. Everyone was impressed with Taylor flabbergasted that Lucy got that.

"Four passes?! That's incredible!" Levy said as it was obvious she and Erza were going with her. "Who is the fourth one for?"

"I know." Erza said as she took it. "Natsu, you want to come with us?"

"Really? Heck yeah!" Natsu said with excitement as he took it. This day was getting better and better for Lucy.

...

Erik's Concert

The four of them went to the concert together. The tickets were also front row. The four of them were having a great time already as they couldn't wait to see it.

"This is my first concert." Natsu said with joy. Lucy was glad she got to spend his first concert with Natsu. Erik soon came on the stage where his new glasses.

"This song goes out to the one who saved me. Celestria, you rock!" Erik said as he started playing his song. Lucy couldn't believe that the song was dedicated to her. Celestria is a rock star to a rock star.
