(Y/N)'s P.O.V.

"Um...hello?" I say as I pick up the phone.

"Is this (Y/N) (L/N)?"

Marinette Dupain-Cheng's P.O.V.

"So are you interested?" I hear Mr Bob Roth, Jagged Stone's manager, ask.

'Am I dreaming?'

"Wait, wait, wait...Let me get this straight." I pause, "You want ME to design the album cover for Jagged Stone, my all-time favourite singer?!" I say to which the man nods. "That's right! Requested by Jagged Stone himself." He says to which I fawn over the thought.

"I brought a few visuals so you can get a sense of what were expecting." He hands me a cover of XY's new album. (If you're not sure of who this 'XY' is, he's the rival of Jagged Stone in the music industry. For more information, look .)

"Um...this doesn't seem like Jagged Stone's material...more like a perfume ad..." I say to which the man chuckles, "This is the new direction of his new album! More modern, current!" Mr Roth says.

"Really?" I ponder a little confused.

'Why would Jagged Stone want to change his style?'

"Oh, and one more thing Marinette, we're in a hurry. We want your proposal at the end of the day! Are you up for it?" He asks making me look at my parents for confirmation. They nod at me which makes me smile.

"Y-yeah..." I say with a nervous smile.

'Wait till (Y/N) and Alya hears about this!'

"Well, see you later then!" He says and leaves the bakery.

"My daughter! Famous album cover artist! You're going to kill it!" My dad says which makes me smile. "Thanks!" I say and hug my parents before rushing up to my room to start designing.

---

"I don't like it..." I say to Tikki as I look at the cover.

"Why are you doing this then?" She askes me. I sigh, "Because I was asked to..." I say to her.

"But I don't get it. Why would Jagged Stone change his style? I mean, XY's style is...cold, lifeless, repetitive and mundane! Overall, it's the opposite of Jagged's style! So, not my style either..." I whine. Tikki chuckles.

"Maybe you should do what your gut feeling tells you, Marinette. Jagged Stone asked YOU to do this because of YOUR style!" She encourages me but I let out an annoyed groan. "The pressure~" I whine.

---

In the end, I just stick with Mr Roth's suggestion and come up with....a perfume ad.

I sigh as I'm not satisfied with the finished product. But now, I can't do anything because I'm in front of Le Grand Paris.

"I hope he likes it..." I mutter before entering the hotel.

Noticing that the elevator door's about to close. I break into a sprint towards it. I notice a familiar face inside the elevator.

"(Y/N)!" I smile as I look at her. She notices me and holds the elevator door for me. Once I enter the elevator, the door slides close and it starts moving upward.

As we're alone in the elevator, Tikki and Seven pop out of their hiding spots.

"What are you doing here?" I ask her, she chuckles. "I'm running some errands for Mr Stone actually. What about you?" She says and shows me a bag of essentials.

My eyes widen. "What? You mean, Jagged Stone?!" I ask and she nods. I grin.

"Ah, I forgot to tell you. Well, I'm here for Jagged Stone...just that I was asked to make the cover for his new album..." I say.

"Oh, that's-" She stops and processes what I just said.

I chuckle, enjoying the sudden change of her expression.

"Oh gosh..." She mutters. "Are you serious?!" She looks at me with a bewildered expression.

"So, YOU'RE TELLING ME. MY BEST FRIEND, MARINETTE DUPAIN-CHENG IS DESIGNING THE ALBUM COVER FOR JAGGED STONE?!"

I nod happily at her expression, "Yep, the one and only!" I say to which she squeals, "I'm so happy for you, Marinette!" She bumps my shoulder.

"I'm so jealous~" She whines which makes me roll my eyes.

"Can I see it?!" She asks to which my smile falters. She notices my expression, "What's wrong?" She asks. I sigh and pull out the cover from my bag. "See for yourself..." I hand it over to her.

She takes the cover cautiously and examines it. Her expression changes drastically. "Uh...it's..." She stutters to give a comment.

I groan, "Just spit it out!" I say in a nervous tone.

"...like a perfume ad..." Seven completes her sentence.

"That's what I thought too!" I say to her. "But...why?" She asks which makes me hand over the XY album to her. She looks at it and her mouth gapes.

"Mr Stone's manager said that it was 'the new direction of Jagged's career' and told me to make a cover depicting a modern-esque..." I say to which she frowns. "Ah..." She nods in understanding.

The elevator stops at Jagged's floor and we walk out of it. Once we reach his door, I knock.

The door opens revealing Penny. She smiles at our appearance.

"Come in!" She says and opens the door wide for us. We smile and enter the room.

"Ah, Marinette and (Y/N)! My two favourite girls!" Jagged Stone sits on the couch and welcomes us. His words make me squeal mentally.

(Y/N) hands the bag over to Penny who receives it with a smile.

Mr Roth is present in the room, too.

"Oh, good! Marinette, did you bring the album?" The older man asks me to which I nod.

I hand over the cover to Jagged Stone. He looks at it but he frowns. "What happened to the raw, impulsive artistry that made this?"

'Whut.'

(Y/N)'s P.O.V.

"Argh...that was a complete disaster!" I hear Marinette whine. I pat her back.

"Cheer up, Marinette! Jagged Stone believes in you! That's why he gave YOU a second chance!" I say to her.

"How would you know?" She looks at me sadly.

I give her a sheepish grin. "Well..."

~FLASHBACK - ABOUT AN HOUR AGO~

I felt my heart pace loudly as I entered the hotel. I quickly took the elevator to Jagged Stone's suite.

I knocked on the door as soon as I reached the door.

The door opened and Penny greeted me. "Come in..." She said and I entered the room. I was immediately pounced on by Fang, who looked happy to see me. I laughed, "I missed you too, buddy~" I rubbed his scales.

I looked ahead to see Jagged Stone. He noticed my presence and smiled at me. "Ah...you must be (Y/N)! We didn't get to talk last time." He said which made me confused.

"Mr Stone! I'm a huge fan of yours! I fell in love with your music ever since I came to Paris and I...uh...I also came to your concert..." I managed to reply in a hesitant way. Did that sound stupid?

"Thank you for your appreciation," He said whilst rubbing the back of his head nervously.

"Jagged wants you to run a few errands for him." Penny specified as I played with Fang's scales.

I looked at her in shock.

"Me?" I asked.

"Yes, you see, we need someone who can help us get these things for Fang and Jagged mentioned your name rather quickly." She said and handed me a paper filled with the stuff required. I looked at the paper intensely.

"If you don't mind me asking, Mr Stone. Why...did you choose me?" I asked Mr Stone with a soft tone. "I mean there are millions of people out there that would like to be in this position...you could have asked the butlers in this hotel..." I whispered the last part.

He was taken aback by my question but smiled.

"It's simple, really." He said. "I judge a person's heart by how they treat an animal. When you first came here for animal-sitting Fang, you treated my crocodile like a human being rather than others who see him as a dangerous animal. I appreciate that, (Y/N). I find that you're really special by the way Fang treats you too because Fang rarely hangs out with people, other than me. That is why I thought of you. I'd rather have you bring stuff for me than those uptight blabberhead butlers in this hotel."

His words made me beam.

"I won't disappoint you, Mr Stone!" I said to which he chuckled. "Now that's the spirit!" He said.

Penny got a call and when she came back, she looked worried. "Bad news, Jagged. The artist for the album cover backed out at the last second!" She said gravely. "Ah, shoot! Now, what are we going to do!" Jagged cursed.

"What about the girl who designed your shades? She seems to know what she's doing..." Jagged suggested.

"You mean Marinette?" I said which made them look at me.

"You know her?" He asked. "Yeah...she's my best friend..." I said quietly.

Before I could continue, I heard the door burst open. Bob Roth, Mr Stone's producer, entered the room.

"What do you want, Bob?" Jagged seemed annoyed.

"Nice to see you too, Jagged. It's been almost 2 days since you've returned my call! It's time to start thinking I want you to think about your latest duet with XY!" Mr Roth said.

I could tell that this wasn't the first time they discussed this.

"I told you already! I'm not pairing up with that baby-faced pop star! He's not even a true musician, unlike me!" Mr Stone argued.

"Well, this 'baby' pushed you off the No. 1 spot in sales!"

They continued to argue.

"I'm a genuine rock 'n' roller, not some pop star in diapers. I'm a real artist. Real talent! Even my hair is real. And that's what people love about me. Isn't that right, (Y/N)?" He asked me and I quickly nodded.

"This girl might be your fan, but I'm your boss. Bob Roth Records cannot be No. 2 in sales! You're gonna have to change the way you look, modernize your style! Get real, Jagged!" The way he talked about me hurt me a little.

"You wanna talk real?! At least I'm not the one going around with a plastic face! And what about the album cover?! You didn't even get an artist to work on it, did you?!" He snapped. "You're going off topic, Jagged. We're talking about how to make the younger audience attracted to you! The only way is to CHANGE YOUR STYLE!" Mr Roth said.

"I think it's best for you to get moving..." Penny escorted me outside. "Thank you for bearing up with Mr Roth..." She says, "Be sure that you bring in all of the items in the next hour." I nodded at her.

"See you, Miss Rolling..." I said before leaving.

~END OF FLASHBACK~

"That's why I was shocked when you told me you were designing for the album cover...I didn't really think they were serious...I mean not that you aren't the GREATEST designer in the world!" I say to Marinette. She smiles at me. Her mood seems to have brightened.

I chuckled deeply at her sudden change of expression.

As we walk out of the hotel, a familiar pain strikes my heart and I immediately gasp for help.

Marinette catches hold of me, "(Y/N)?" She says.

We hear a roar from above us and as we both look up, we see....a dragon?!

"Rocking riff, baby!" We hear a voice from inside the hotel before a purple beam shoots its way outside. We both dodge it as to hide in a corner.

"Time to transform!" I say before we both turn into our alter egos and follow that dragon. We hop from building to building as we follow the monster before we see Cat Noir fighting a villain.

"That must be...JAGGED?!" I say as I notice the guitar. "Awesome solo!" The villain yells and shoots a beam towards Cat who utterly gets hit by it.

I extend my whip to grab his leg before pulling him out. I smirk as I see him exhausted from the fight. "Need help~?" I tease to which he looks up to me and smirks. "If it comes from you, m'lady~" He purrs which makes my heart jump.

Ladybug pushes me away to save me from being burned into ash by Dragon Fang.

She and I charge towards Guitar Villain who blocks us from getting to him as Cat Noir goes for Fang.

Ladybug trips on my whip which causes me to stumble forward before we both end up on the ground.

Cat Noir gets knocked out by Fang which makes the villain hop on top of him.

"You're just wasting my time! I've got a concert to crash!" Guitar Villain says and flies off with his dragon.

'Let's follow him!" I say as I extend my whip and latch onto a building before pulling myself up as Ladybug and Cat Noir follow me.

We all land on a building as we look up to see Guitar Villain flying towards the Eiffel Tower where XY's next performance is going to be held.

"Looks like his power comes from his guitar..." Ladybug states. "We better get going before he rocks him out hard!" Cat Noir leads as Ladybug and I follow.

As we reach the tower, we see Guitar Villain ready to rock out on a fellow citizen who's there on top of the tower. I use my whip to pull him out of there.

"Not you again!" The villain angrily says before stepping back and jumping off the edge. "To the studios, Fang!" He shouts to which the dragon catches him and heads for the studio.

We all hang on the fence of the Eiffel Tower. "Oh, no. He's going to get there before we do!" Cat exclaims which makes me groan. Ladybug smirks before pulling out her yo-yo. "We better make sure he doesn't find what he's looking for!" She says before making a call. When she hangs up, I ask, "Who was that?" I ask to which she smiles.

"The studio~" She coos to which I smirk. We all head for the studio entrance.

We can sense Guitar Villain making a wreck inside the studio as we see XY being escorted out by Alec.

"Mr XY! We've got to get you out of here before Guitar Villain-"

"Oh, so what? Is he going to blow me away with his evil Guitar?" XY nonchalantly answers as he ignores my concern. "Yes! He's going to obliterate you if we don't get you out of here soon-" Ladybug gets interrupted as said-villain swoops him off the ground and flies off to the Eiffel Tower...again.

I groan for the millionth time today as Guitar Villain maniacally laughs.

"Back to square one..." Cat says as we three hop on to a building. I walk on the edge of that building and see the sun setting from a distance.

"I get the feeling that we're in for quite a concert..." Ladybug says in an exhausted way. I smirk, "You ready, Ladybug? Cat Noir?" I look towards them. They smirk back towards me before we all head for the Eiffel Tower.

Once we reach the tower, we see that fans are already gathered for the XY performance. We scale up the tower.

"ULTIMATE SOLO!" I hear Guitar Villain say before a strong green energy wave which makes a tremendous earthquake hit the whole of Paris knocking everyone to the ground. Ladybug, Cat Noir and I hold on to the tower for support.

I look up to see XY tied up and about to walk the plank on top of the Eiffel Tower.

"XY's going to fall!" I say and we hurriedly rush toward the top of the tower.

Ladybug uses her yo-yo to pull herself up faster. I also do so with my whip as Cat Noir latches on to my neck.

As my whip pulls us up, we hear a roar. Both Cat Noir and I look to the side to see Fang approaching us. Before he can get to us, Ladybug struggles to get ahold of Fang with her yo-yo and picks us up. We fly into the air and circle around Guitar Villain.

"My dragon!" Guitar Villain looks up at us in anger. He shoots energy beams toward up which as Ladybug manoeuvres Fang to dodge the beams. "Primvère! Ladybug! Cat Noir! Hurry!" XY pleads as we continue our circle.

"The Akuma must be in his guitar!" I point out. "But how are we going to get it?" Cat Noir asks. I look around. "Let's go backstage!" I say and point below the tip of the Eiffel Tower.

We crash land Fang into the top platform. Ladybug uses her yo-yo to secure him as we start climbing the Eiffel Tower again. We discreetly land on the other end of where Guitar Villain and XY are. I notice that XY is about to fall as the plank under him is about to break.

"Help!" I hear him plead.

"Are you scared? Or is my music too awesome for you?!" The villain hollers at him.

I look towards Ladybug and nod at her.

"Lucky Charm!" She chants and then a can of extreme hairspray bottle lands on her hands.

"Um..so what...? You're going to fix his hair...?" Cat asks as he closes in for a closer inspection. Ladybug looks up at Guitar Villain and smirks, "Actually, yes!" She says, "Prim, you go get XY while Cat Noir distracts Guitar Villain!"

I grin at the idea.

"Ready when you are, Cat Noir~," I say to which he launches into the air and attacks Guitar Villain.

As the battle unfolds, Ladybug gives me a nod before going around the back. I slowly make my way towards XY.

Cat Noir uses his Cataclysm as a shield against Guitar Villain's "Shocking Riff", but fails. The villain rolls his hair back and forth giving Ladybug the signal to launch. She uses the hairspray to stiffen Guitar Villain's hair in front of his face, preventing him from being able to play his guitar.

I smirk in victory before making my way towards XY and grabbing him from the plank. Ladybug stomp on the guitar and breaks it, revealing the Akuma.

"Time to de-evilise!" Ladybug catches the Akuma and purifies it.

"Miraculous Ladybug/Primrose!" We both chant in unison. She tosses the hairspray as I shoot an arrow into the sky which cleanses the city, returning everything, including Jagged Stone and Fang, back to normal.

"Pound it!" Ladybug, Cat Noir and I fist-bump.

"I've still got a LOT of work to do! BUG OUT!" Ladybug pounces out of the tower which leaves XY, Cat Noir, Jagged and I.

Cat Noir excitedly gets an autograph from Jagged Stone.

"No more injustice in the world and here's a token from a rose~," I chant.

Purple rose petals form around me and then hover towards Jagged. He looks in astonishment as a spike-choker forms around his neck.

He touches it and lets out a squeal. "It's about time I changed my style!" He says ironically which makes me chuckle.

End Chapter.

OMG, I just saw the new episode, 'Silencer'!!!! Any Lukanette fans over here?

Decided to exclude the outro in this chapter. Too lazy to complete...
