Madison growled at the sight of Adrien next to Gabriel instead of his soulmate.

[ Theme Song ]
Scene: Le Grand Paris. Jagged Stone is performing a song for Bob Roth and Penny Rolling.

Jagged Stone: (singing) Mah Miraculous!
(Penny applauds while Bob watches with crossed arms)
Jagged: (to Bob) So, what do you think of the first single off my next album? Can you feel it, Bob? Isn't it killer?
Bob Roth: Not bad, Jagged, not bad. But if you really want to be making something killer, let's talk about this duet with Mr. XY.
Jagged: No way. He's not a rocker, he's a baby! I bet he doesn't even shave yet.

"XY is amazing!" Chloe and Lila yelled and Marinette rolled her eyes.

"No he's not." Marinette said plainly and Sabine side hugged her.

Bob: Well, this "baby" just pushed you out of the number one sales spot.
Jagged: And? Doesn't make him a true musician like me. Penny thinks everything I'm doing's rock star material. She thinks I'm killer.
Bob: Penny might be your agent, but I'm your real boss. Listen. Bottom line is that Bob Roth Records cannot afford to be number two in sales! Or rep a number two rock star! Get real, Jagged! You're going to have to modernize your music. Change the way you look. Get a whole new style!
Jagged: You want to talk about real? I'm a genuine rock and roller, Bob! 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. (to Fang) Isn't that right, Fang? Yeah. (turning back to Bob) And the artwork you came up with for my album is a waste of my time! Seriously, Bob, what is this trash? It looks like a perfume ad!

"It does." Alix laughed.

Bob: (pointing a finger at Jagged's chest) And that's what people want these days!
Jagged: Well, I don't. My album covers are raw to the bone, exuding the smell of sweat and leather!
Bob: You do know, don't you, that if your next album doesn't rate number one on the charts, it'll be the last one you ever do with Bob Roth records.
Jagged: I'd rather put out nothing at all than sing some pathetic duet with a baby-faced nobody.
Penny Rolling: Bob, Jagged and I had an idea. Its concept is modern, but it also respects Jagged's own...rugged style.
Jagged: (takes off glasses and shows them to Bob) The schoolgirl who made these glasses has some real talent. She totally gets my style. She's going to design the cover of my new album.
Bob: A schoolgirl?

"She sounds like she's an anime character." Nino chuckled. "Who is it?"

"You'll see~" Madison winked.

Penny: See? That's just it. She's the same age as the target audience. (holds out a piece of paper) Here's her address.
Bob: (folds arms and growls)
(Fang growls in return)
Bob: (jumps away from Fang in alarm, takes the piece of paper, and begins to leave the room) Okay! But just think about that duet with Mr. XY.
Jagged: Find that girl, Bob!

Scene: Tom & Sabine Boulangerie Patisserie. Bob is speaking with Marinette in front of her parents.

Bob: So, are you interested?
Marinette: Uh...wait, wait, wait. Let me get this straight. You want...me to design the album cover for Jagged Stone?! My...all-time favorite singer?!

"What?! Marinette can't do anything! She even drove Adrien away!" Chloe yelled and Marinette shrunk in her seat, her parents trying to hold her. They gave her space when they realized that she wanted to be alone.

Bob: That's right! Requested by Jagged Stone himself. (pulls out an XY album) I brought a few visuals so you can get a sense of what we're going for.
Marinette: (looks at album design) This doesn't seem like Jagged Stone material. More like...a perfume ad!
Bob: This is the direction of his new image. More modern, current!
Marinette: ...really? Wow. I was thinking more along the lines of–
Bob: (interrupts Marinette) Don't think! This is what is selling these days.
Marinette: Uh...sure.
Bob: And one last thing, Marinette. We're in a hurry! We need your proposal by the end of the day. You up to it?
Marinette: (looks at her parents, who nod reassuringly) Uh, yeah! Okay.
Bob: (leaves the bakery) See you later, then!
Tom: (to Marinette) My daughter, famous album cover designer. You're going to kill it! Marinette style. Boo yah! (he and Marinette high five, and the two of them and Sabine share a hug)

"family goals!" Alya yelled.

The opposite of Adriens family more like." Alix whispered and everyone nodded but the people who didn't hear which was just Gabriel.

Scene: Marinette's room. Marinette is drawing an album cover on her tablet while listening to XY's music, as Tikki watches.

Marinette: (covers her ears and stops the music) Oh, why does Jagged Stone want to change his style? XY's music is so cold and lifeless, repetitive, mundane, the total opposite of Jagged. And what I've just done here is...ugh...is so not my style either.
Tikki: So why are you doing it, then?
Marinette: Because that's what I was asked to do.
Tikki: Maybe you should follow your gut feeling. Do something that's really you!
Marinette: But you heard what Mr. Roth said! (imitates Bob) This is what's selling these days.
Tikki: Yeah, but...Jagged Stone wanted you because of your style!
Marinette: Augh, the pressure! I can't deal!
Tikki: Marinette, superhero of France, defender of the innocent, fighter of all the rights, can't deal with the pressure?

"Seriously girl, you're to hard on yourself." Alya smiled at her.

"No I'm not."

"Yes, you are." The class said to her.

Marinette: (chuckles, taps her pen while thinking) Augh. (turns XY's music back on and resumes drawing)

Scene: Le Grand Paris. Marinette presents her design to Jagged Stone in front of Bob and Penny.

Jagged: (looking at design) What happened to the raw, impulsive artistry that made this?
Marinette: Yeah, about that, Mr. Roth told me–
Bob: (interrupting Marinette) Marinette's young, Jag! She represents our target audience. She's come up with a modern concept that's exactly what you need.
Jagged: Doesn't it look a lot like the cover of that YZ guy? Marinette, don't listen to Bob. Could you do another one? You know, Jagged style?

"He knows her name!" Chloe and Lila growled.

"Uncle Jagged is best!" Madison cheered.

Marinette: (hesitantly) Yeah, sure! (Bob puts a hand on her shoulder) But I don't know if–
Jagged: (holds Marinette's hands) You're my girl, Marinette. Remember: raw, impulsive artistry. I think we're all done here, Bob.

"Girl! He knows your name and has touched you! You're so lucky!"

"I-I'm really not." Marinette looked at the ring on her hand. Nino and Alya sighed and continued watching.

Bob: No! We are not! (Fang growls, and Bob draws back)
Penny: (leading Marinette away) Come with me, Marinette. Don't worry! Just do your best, okay?
Bob: We aren't– (Fang growls again) Aah!

Scene: Le Grand Paris. On his tablet, Jagged is watching Nadja Chamack interview XY.

XY: (in interview) Why am I number one? Simple. It's not about music, it's about technology. This computer is programmed to produce music and lyrics people like. It's guaranteed success. (takes a sip from his drink)
Jagged: (growls and glares at tablet)
Nadja Chamack: (in interview) You knocked Jagged Stone off the number one spot. What do you think of him?
XY: (throws drink aside) Bleah! Jagged Stone, the hero of rock and roll? Try "Ragged Stone." That guy's old school, a has-been.

"Fight me you limp noodle!" Madison yelled.

Jagged: Me? Old-school? A has-been?!
XY: He's had his career, but it's over now. He'll never be number one, not while XY is here.
Jagged: Why, you little perfume ad!
XY: My music is killer.

"Bitch shut the fuck up!" Madison shouted.

Jagged: He's stealing my catchphrases!
Nadja: Tonight, Mr. XY will be giving a very special one-time concert from the top of the Eiffel Tower, to celebrate his album's success, and thank his awesome fans.
XY: Hey Ragged, if you wanna know what today's music sounds like, come to my concert. I'll reserve you a front-row seat, old man, you know—in case your hearing's going.
Jagged: He can't talk about me like that! This guy's an insult to rock...and me! (breaks glass on tablet, tosses it to Fang, and begins to angrily play his guitar)

Scene: Hawk Moth's lair.

Hawk Moth: I feel a disharmonious soul, an angry dischord. Ideal prey for my evil akumas. (turns a butterfly into an akuma, and sends it out) Go find that Jagged Stone, and rock his world!

Marinette now hoped that he would akumatize her. "Marinette, he'll come back." Tikki whispered to her.

"How do you know that?"

"You two are fated."

Scene: Le Grand Paris. Jagged is still angrily playing his guitar.

(The akuma flies into the hotel. Fang tries to bite it, but it passes by and enters Jagged's guitar.)
Hawk Moth: Guitar Villain, I am Hawk Moth. I'm giving you and your vicious crocodile the power to show the whole world that you are the number one rocker! Just make sure you get me Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculous in return.
Jagged: Yeah! Let's rock! (begins to transform)

Scene: Outside Le Grand Paris. Marinette is walking while looking at the cover of XY's album.

Adrien: Hey. Marinette! Hey, hi!
Marinette: Hey! Oh, uh...what's going on? I mean, how's up? I mean, oh, uh...(slaps herself in the face)
Adrien: Well, uh...

Marinette sighed, not paying attention. "Marinette I swear if you don't stop being depressing I will turn you into a guy." Marinette gulped and Madison smiled. "There we are!"

Chloé: (runs out hotel doors, pushes Marinette aside, and hugs Adrien) Hi, Adrikins! There you are. Amazing Chloé has got a surprise for you! She knows you're a fan of Jagged Stone's.
Adrien: Uh, I am!
Chloé: Sooo, you get a private meeting with your favorite star. He's staying right here in Daddy's hotel! Is Chloé the best, or is Chloé the best?
Marinette: (to Tikki) Did you hear that?
Tikki: Chloé speaking in the third person? Totally annoying.

"You know you're screwed when the sweeties Kwami hates you."

Marinette: No! The part where Adrien likes Jagged just like me! Now I definitely can't mess up the artwork.
Tikki: So, now what?
Marinette: I'm going to design Jagged Stone's next album my way, and no one else's.
Tikki: Way to go, Marinette! Follow your instinct!
Adrien's chauffeur: Hmm?
Marinette: (closes purse) Talking bag! New technology! Imported from Japan!

"I know I have one too." Madison smiled and imitated the comic.

Scene: Inside Le Grand Paris. Chloé and Adrien are waiting for the elevator..

Chloé: You and I both like the same kind of music. Isn't that awesome?
Adrien: I...thought you liked Mr. XY.
Chloé: Of course I do! Don't you?
Adrien: Not really, no.
Chloé: Uh...well, neither do I. See? We have the same great taste!

"Smooth Chloe, smooth." The class laughed and she growled.

"At least famous people stay near me!"

"At least famous people know me." Marinette smirked and Chloe huffed.

"You will get it Marinette Dupain-Cheng."

"That's my name don't wear it out." Marinette smiled.

(Off to the side, Bob and Penny are talking)
Bob: A duet with Mr. XY would show everyone that Jagged Stone—
(Bob is interrupted by a roar from Fang, who is revealed to have been transformed into a dragon)
Guitar Villain: From now on, you can call him Guitar Villain. He'll never do a duet with Mr. XY! In fact, soon, there won't even be a Mr. XY! Rockin' Riff, baby! (fires purple energy from his guitar at Bob and Penny, causing them to start dancing) Soon, there'll be nothing but Guitar Villain fans, the one and only rocker on Earth.
Hawk Moth: (from his lair) Such symphony to my ears. It won't be long before Ladybug and Cat Noir show up to meet their doom!
Chloé: Hurry, Adrien, get me out of here!
(Adrien puts Chloé in the elevator and the doors close between them. Adrien runs toward Guitar Villain and hides behind a flowerpot.)

Madison paused the episode. "Okay this is what I like. He sees Chloe in danger and he just puts her in the first place he sees while with Marinette, he makes an actual effort to hide her and keep her safe. He wants her to be protected. And that's how you know, he cares for her."

Adrien looked at his father and Gabriel nodded. "I would keep any of my friends safe."

"Then keep Chloe safe." Gabriel stated and Chloe smiled while Marinette sunk in her seat.

"I will turn you into Marin." Marinette gulped. Madison started the episode again.

Guitar Villain: (leaves the hotel) Yeah! Guitar Villain! Wooh!
[Transformation Sequence]
Adrien: Plagg, claws out! (Adrien transforms into Cat Noir.)

(Fang flies out of the hotel past the doorman and Guitar Villain follows behind him.)
Guitar Villain: Rockin' Riff, baby!
(Guitar Villain shoots the doorman with purple energy, causing him to start dancing), and proceeds to do the same with several cars, pigeons, and people, including Xavier Ramier.)
Guitar Villain: Rockin' Riff, baby!
Cat Noir: (standing on Fontaine du Palmier) Hey Jagged! C'mon! Why don't you try and rock my world?
Guitar Villain: The name's Guitar Villain, pussycat. Awesome Solo!
(Guitar Villain fires orange energy at Cat Noir, who jumps off the fountain as the energy knocks it down. Cat Noir dodges more shots of energy.

"Adrien you okay?" Rose asked, Adrien wasn't allowed to answer. "Adrien?"

"Rose, we've lost him." Nathanael patted her back, a smirk on his face.

Fang flies overhead and breathes a cloud of green fire at Cat Noir, who dodges.)
Guitar Villain: Awesome Solo! (hits Cat Noir with orange energy and uses it to pin him against a wall) Welcome to my fan club, baby!
Marinette: (overhears fight a block behind her and turns to see Fang) Do you see what I see, Tikki?
Tikki: If you see a dragon, then yes I do.
Marinette: I've got to transform! (hides behind a tree)
[Transformation Sequence]
Marinette: Tikki, spots on! (Marinette transforms into Ladybug.)

(Cat Noir is hit by a car thrown by one of Guitar Villain's blasts, and Fang attacks him. Ladybug jumps in and blocks Fang's attack with her yoyo.)
Ladybug: Cat Noir, you okay?
Cat Noir: Good to see you, my lady.
(Fang circles overhead, preparing to attack again.)
Ladybug: Cat Noir, your stick!
(Ladybug wraps Cat Noir in her yoyo and throws him towards Fang. Cat Noir extends the stick in Fang's mouth, pinning it open. Fang closes his mouth and the stick pops out. While falling, Cat Noir catches the stick and crashes into a traffic light.)
Guitar Villain: (standing on Fang's back) You're wasting my time. I've got a concert to get to! (flies off)
Ladybug: Cone on, we gotta follow them! (jumps onto a roof with Cat Noir) His power comes from playing his guitar. We've got to keep him from performing.
Cat Noir: Well, I won't let you do this solo.

"God dude your puns are awful." Nino chuckled.

"I think they're cute." Marinette whispered.

From here on out I wrote out the transcript

(Fang flys up to the Eiffel Tower and Guitar Villain jumps down to XY who's playing)
Guitar Villain: You're an insult to the music world XY (Punches hologram) A hologram?
Theo: Ah!(Hides under music booth)
Guitar Villain: (Picks him up) Where's the real XY?
Theo: He's not here yet. The concerts not 'til tonight I'm just setting up the special effects, dude.
Guitar Villain: (throws Theo) Awesome Solo! Where's Mr.XY? Answer me!
Theo: On TV. He's at the TV Station.
Guitar Villain: Rock and Rift Baby! (Ladybug and Cat Noir save Theo) You again? To the TV studios Fang! (Jumps onto Fang and he flys away)
Cat Noir: He's going to get there before us.
Ladybug: Then we better make sure he doesn't find what he's looking for.

Scene: At the studio in an interview

Nadja: Kids Plus TV, how can I help you?
Man: (To Alec)Ladybug says we're in danger.
Alec: Mr.XY uhm, we have to leave the studio, immediately.
XY: What the heck.

"Oh my fucking god he said a bad fucking word!" Madison yelled.

"Hey, shut the heck up." Kim chuckled.

"Stop fucking cursing!" The class laughed.

Alec: We just got a call from Ladybug. You're not safe here. Hit the credits!

Guitar Villain:(Walking inside Kids Plus TV studios) Where's that studio?
Woman: Uh Third floor! (Goes under desk, Guitar villain goes in elevator)
Guitar Villain:(Breaks doors) Ah! Ugh, Awesome Solo! (Plays guitar)

Scene, Outside the studio:

Alec: Everything is going to be fine. I'm sure this is just a precaution.
Ladybug: We have to get you to safety.
XY: So what's this Guitar Villain going to do? Blow me away with his evil guitar solo?
Ladybug & Cat Noir: Yeah!
Cat Noir: Once we catch Guitar Villain we'll get you to the Eiffel Tower, just in time for your live performance.
XY: Who even cares. My roadies can just project my image on stage. Live concerts are so ten minutes ago. (Fang gets XY in his mouth)

"What he gets for running his mouth." Alya laughed.

Guitar Villain: (Evil laugh, Fangs flies to Eiffel Tower and let's go of XY) Good job Fang. I finally found you XY. Ready for the show?
XY: Dude, are you Jagged Stone?
Guitar Villain: Was Jagged Stone. Now I'm Guitar Villain, haha. Don't worry, you're not going to become one of my fans, you don't deserve it. I've got something special in store for you. Something with a little Rock and Roll!
XY: No!

Ladybug:(Climbing roof with Cat Noir)
Cat Noir: Back to square one. (Stretches)
Ladybug: I have a feeling we're in for quite a concert. You ready?
Cat Noir: To Rock and Riff baby! (Jumping on roofs)

Transition sequence

Guitar Villain: (Playing a solo while riding Fang around the Eiffel Tower, fans cheering, Ladybug and Cat Noir climbing up the side) Hello Paris! You said your music is the only killer music around, is that right?
XY:I-I didn't mean it! (Stepping back) Listen uh Mr.Guitar we-we can uh do the duet your style. Ah!
Guitar Villain:(laughs) Too late. I'm going to show you what killer music really sounds like. Ultimate Solo! (Plays guitar and the board shakes)
XY: Stop it! Please! (screaming, fans fall)
Ladybug: XY's gonna fall!

"Good!" Everyone laughed.

"He's human, it doesn't matter if he's a bad person, he still human no one should die." Marinette fumbled with the ring in her hand.

"When did you become so inspirational?"

"When she lost the only light in her life." Alya mumbled.

Cat Noir: Talk about being between a rock and a hard place.
(Swings her yo-yo up and Fang attacks. Ladybug gets control of him)
Ladybug: Easy, easy. Nice dragon. Enough already! We have a stuck Kitty to rescue!

"Be careful Marinette."

"If she wasn't she wouldn't be here." Madison smiled at Marinettes parents.

Cat Noir: (falls on Fang) Uh wow. The bug mastered the dragon.
Guitar Villain: so how'd you like the concert? You still think your music is the only killer music out there?
XY: No. Please don't. (Board breaks)
Guitar Villain: Awesome Solo!
Ladybug: Not so fast!
Guitar Villain: My dragon!
XY: Ladybug! Cat Noir! Hurry!
Cat Noir: Nice job.
Guitar Villain: You're to late! No one can stop Guitar Villain! Rock and Riff Baby!
Ladybug: we only rock to the real Jagged Stone! The Akuma must be in his guitar!
Cat Noir: How're we going to get to that?
Ladybug: Let's go back stage! (Crashes Fang into Eiffel Tower)

"A crash like that should've kill them."

"Max, shut up." Everyone glared at him.

Guitar Villain: Where did they go?
Cat Noir: You okay? (They jump to the top)
Guitar Villain: To bad for them, they're going to miss the final song. Hahaha! SOLO! Oh are you scared? Or is it to awesome for you?
XY: Please Mr.Guitar Villain.
Ladybug: Lucky Charm! (Gets hairspray) Extreme fixing gel?
Cat Noir: Are you planning on doing his hair?
Ladybug: (Guitar villain hair lights up) Actually, yes! Go get him Cat Noir! (He jumps up)
Guitar Villain: Maybe you haven't heard it properly? (Cat Noir and Guitar Villain fight)
Cat Noir: Cataclysm!
Guitar Villain: Awesome Solo! (Cat Noir uses Cataclysm on his attack only to get pinned to the wall. Ladybug sprays his hair) I Can't see! Where are all my fans! (Drops guitar)
XY: hey don't forget about me! (Falls. Ladybug catches him and he breaks the guitar)
Ladybug: Musics over Akuma! Time to de-evilize! (Catches Akuma in her yo-yo)Rock and Roll! (then let's it go, it turning white) Bye bye little butterfly. Miraculous Ladybug! (Throws hairspray in the air and everything is back to normal)
Ladybug & Cat Noir: Pound it!

Everyone but Gabriel, Adrien and Marinette cheered. Gabriel didn't cheer, Adrien wasn't allowed and Marinette was too depressed.

XY: What's he doing here?
Ladybug: He came to tell you that perhaps you've uh underestimate the power of his music.
XY: This guys crazy!
Jagged Stone: Thank you.

"Same."

Cat Noir: how about an autograph Jagged? (Jagged gives him one)
Ladybug: Which reminds me I still have work to do! Bug out! (Swings back home)
Hawkmoth: (falls to knees) duh! Don't do your victory dance just yet 'cause one day I'll play you my favorite music. The anthem of your defeat Ladybug and Cat Noir.

Transition Sequence

(Jagged stone music playing) Scene; Marinettes room
Marinette: Done! (Holds up tablet with completed CD cover)
Tikki: Jagged Stone will love it!
Marinette: I hope so. It's 100% Marinette. It's my awesome solo!
Tikki: Rock and Roll!

Scene; hotel.

Jagged Stone: Oh yeah this is it. You did it girl. I can almost smell the leather and sweat just radiating off of this design. (Smells CD)
Marinette: uh actually you are smelling it. I concocted a speacial scented sticker for your album.

"Marinette, how?"

"Max actually did it." She didn't look at them,

Jagged Stone: I love it. I gotta have it. It's authentic, its original. It's so, Jagged.
Bob Roth: No you can't. It's not what the public-
Jagged: Fine then I'm outta here. I'm sure another record company would be perfectly happy with a number two chart topper. (Bob Roth leaves)
Marinette: (in the elevator) Tikki, I can't believe I just designed the cover for Jagged Stones new album!
Tikki: I'm so proud of you Marinette!

Nadja: In today's headlines Jagged Stones new album hit the charts at number one, knocking Mr.XY off his throne. Welcome back King of Rock And Roll.

Scene; school.
Adrien: Uh hey there Marinette. So actually I'm a huge fan of Jagged Stone and I saw you designed his new album cover.
Marinette: I did, crazy huh.
Adrien:I wanted to ask if I could get it autographed?
Marinette: Okay yeah sure I'll ask him.
Adrien: uh no uhm, actually I meant you.
Marinette: me? (Signs CD cover)
Adrien: if you don't mind. (Hands it back) Awesome! Thanks Marinette! (Walks away)

"This dork." Madison snorted.

Chloe: (bites magazine)
Alya: girl did I just imagine that you signed an autograph for Adrien?
Marinette: I can't feel my legs hold me I'm gong to fall over, is he still around?
Alya: it's okay he's gone. You can fall over.
Marinette: this is the happiest day of my life! Rock and roll!
THE END

"Okay! Go to the bathroom, reload on snacks and then Princess Fragrance!" Madison smiled and everyone did what they needed. Nathanael sat next to Marinette and Adrien looked over his shoulder.

"Would you mind if I sit next to you for the next few episodes?" Nathanael asked.

"No." She sighed and Nathanael sat next to her. She leaned on him and he blushed while Adrien growled.

"Adrien." Gabriel glared at him and Adrien sat forward. Nino and Alya saw and walked over to him.

"Adrien, dude, why don't you sit with us?"

"Adrien isn't allowed to talk to lowlifes like yourselves." Gabriel glared at them and Alya growled.

"Alya, not now." Nino grabbed her by the shoulders and sat her back down. Madison started Princess Fragrance.
