The next day, *Adrien was having difficulty with designing with the mannequin and the cloth fabrics. Of course, with his lady as Cat Noir, she helped him. She still has her skills in his body her hand size is a bit bigger than her real ones.

"Ugh!" *Adrien was tangled up with threads, "Uhhh....this would be ironic if I had my Cat Noir body to play with yarn like a cat"

"Ironic or not, you should know why I like fashion designing" *Ladybug said.

"It's your hobby?" *Adrien guessed.

"Yes, but I get inspiration for new designs." *Ladybug said.

The swapped model boy un-tangles himself from the threads so he can move. Of course, *Ladybug giggled awkwardly with her masculine voice which seems weird for guys to giggle like a girl.

"I don't giggle like a girl, milady. It makes me feel weird" *Adrien said, trying again with sewing the cloth fabric between the arm position.

"Keep the line straight when sewing." *Marinette said.

"Okay." *Adrien nodded.

It wasn't easy how it's done but somewhere with having a girl's memory muscles in the hands, he unintentionally and nearly got it right.

"Well good start." *Marinette said.

"It seems I awoke your memory muscles in your hands" *Adrien said.

"The same way I did with your hands too." *Ladybug said.

"Fashion designing is not my talent but fun to try. Anyways, time to patrol, milady. Tiki spots on!" He transformed into Ladybug.

"I may not be a lady but it's always ladies first you know," *Ladybug said.

"Technically I'm in your body and I get to be in command since I'm now a lady, not a man" *Cat Noir chuckled and heads to the roof hatch with her.

But he received a bump on the head by her staff again, "Ow! Will you stop doing that?!" He growled and did the same to her with the yo-yo.

"Ow! Okay, now I understand why you don't like that. But you know you're not me, bugaboy." *Ladybug said, rubbing the spot on her head.

"I know. But let's go patrolling." *Cat Noir said.

"Just don't get scaredy-cat" He laughed and yo-yoed to the roof with her.

It's been 20 minutes of patrolling but they did find one who is akumatized into an Egyptian-like Bastet, turning people into cats with its feline eyes whenever the victim looks at it.

"Oh great. Now I'll have to mother them all! Agh! I have your humor. This is so annoying" *Ladybug groaned in frustration.

"Yup, being me is easy when it's between loneliness and sense of humor, milady" *Cat Noir snickered and went to face the villain without looking directly at it.

"Turning people into cats? I'd say you're giving them extra nine lives, Bastet" *Cat Noir being funny as always.

"And you know cats should chase the bug!" The Bastet screamed.

The heroes saw the cats meowing and running towards them with menacing slit eyes due to being controlled by Bastet. They surrounded them while growling and snarling to intimidate the heroes.

"Ahh!!! It's like a world of crazy cats attracted to catnip!" *Ladybug huddled with her swapped body partner.

"Catnip or not, these cats are being controlled by cat goddess!" *Cat Noir grabbed the baton from his lady and extended it to whack the cats away, "I hope you all land on your feet! I don't wanna abuse you all like some animal abuse!"

"Hahaha!!! How pathetic for the bug to be scared of cats!" Bastet laughed and just left the scene to go and turn people into cats.

"Hey! Come back here! I'm not scared of cats!" *Cat Noir yelled and hands the baton back to his lady.

"Stop getting bugged out, Cat Noir! We gotta get out of this before these cats start scratching us to death!" *Ladybug spinning her baton to deflect the cats from pouncing on her.

"Alright, but we need a higher ground!" *Cat Noir used the yoyo to fend off many cats.

"Aren't you forgetting that cats can climb?!" *Ladybug getting tired of whacking the cats away.

"Just shut up and hold on!" *Cat Noir held her waist and yo-yo up to the roof to get to higher grounds.

"Try the lucky charm." *Ladybug said.

"Right. Lucky charm!" The suit changed while summoning his power and out came a catnip bag.

"Catnip?" *Cat Noir looked confused.

"At least I won't be affected but maybe that Bastet can since it has the head of a cat" *Ladybug said.

The swapped hero looks around to see how to use it, it points to the cats and then to Bastet coming this way. He made a plan to cover Bastet with catnip to attract the cats to attack her.

"Come out heroes! The cats gonna put you out of the bags!" The Bastet called out.

"Coming through!" *Ladybug jumps out of her hiding place with the catnip in her hand.

"What is that, pussy cat? A bag of fish chips?!" Bastet making fun of her.

"I may not like fish but I do like milk and cookies! Here's a fur-tastic and purrrfect bag of catnip!" *Ladybug three the catnip bag and threw the baton for it to rip through the bag, causing a powder of catnip to land on the akumatized villain.

"AAAGH! CATNIP!!!" The Bastet exclaimed. The army of cats turned on her and all pounced on her.

The heroes didn't even have to flinch from the army cats focusing on the catnip covering their mistress. After all, catnip is like a drug for cats.

"This is what happens when crazy old cat-ladies give too much catnip to cats" *Cat Noir laughed.

"Seriously, bugaboo?" *Ladybug crossed her arms.

"Yeah, you should be lucky you're not affected." *Cat Noir said.

"Hilarious. Where's the akumatized object? The cats are piling up on kitty goddess" *Ladybug pointing at the cats piling up which is making the villain difficult to get them off.

"Over there" *Cat Noir saw an akumatized bracelet on the ground. He picked it up and crushed it, letting the akuma out and captured it with his yo-yo, "Bye-bye little butterfly. Miraculous Ladybug!" He tossed the lucky charm and it scattered into ladybugs, turning the victims back to people.

The akumatized victims changed back to an elderly old lady, "Huh? Kitty and bug?"

"Pound it!" The swapped heroes fist-bumped.

After saving the day as always, *Ladybug heads back to the mansion and transformed into Adrien. Exhausted from the battle with cats and nearly smelling like catnip too.

"What a day. I miss my real voice and body. Am I really gonna look and sound like him forever?" She heads into the bathroom to get ready for a bath blindly.

"Come on, Adrien is the top handsome model boy in Paris. I've seen you swoon at him in a clumsy way" Plagg munching on his cheese.

"Oh yeah. He really got great muscle tones too." She looks at Adrien's shirtless torso in the mirror. She soon completely undresses and gets into the tub.

"Just a calm relaxing bath, that's all. Are there any photoshoots I have to do, Plagg?" She asked while leaning against the side of the tub.

"Well, Adrien's father was coming up with his designs for summer clothes. He expects Adrien...well you, to be at the Dieppe. You know, the beach which is far away from here" Plagg explained.

"WHAT?!" She nearly splashed herself but quickly did not look, "This is a nightmare! I have to wear swimming trunks for photoshoots?!"

"Calm down, pigtails. It's tomorrow in the morning. Adrien can invite friends to come to the photoshoot. His father doesn't mind but you have to tell him that because you are Adrien" Plagg said.

"This is gonna be a disaster!" She was hyperventilating.

"Calm down. Adrien might be there in your body." Plagg said as *Marinette calms down a bit.

"Okay, but I get a feeling it's about flexing or something." *Marinette said.

"At least you get to love his looks and body" Plagg teased.

"Gross! Sure I admire his handsome looks but not when I'm in his body!" She glared at the kwami cat.

"Sorry." Plagg apologized.

"This is gonna be awkward tomorrow" *Marinette said.

-

*Adrien on the other hand knew that *Marinette has to photoshoot at the beach far away from Paris tomorrow morning which he forgot to tell her after the battle. He'll have to text her friends to come along, especially telling her parents that he'll be at the beach with his friends.

So he picks up Marinette's phone and started to text some of them. Thank god he doesn't have Chloe or Sabrina's phone numbers. Chloe is always obnoxious and rude to everyone but Sabrina does nothing at all. Even Lila is not on the phone list due to all deceptions she has caused by lying.

"I have a feeling that those enemies will know that I will be at the photoshoot at the beach. Marinette better not screw it up again like she did in the past by her irresponsible outburst" He said, hoping that it will never happen again.

"She's always protective sometimes," Tikki said.

"How many times has she irresponsibly caused her actions to make people get akumatized? Especially accusing Santa Claus as an akumatized villain without thinking" He asked her.

"Well I lost count but she learns from her mistakes," Tikki said.

"I remember making the sculptor jealous and he got akumatized as Copycat. I stole the spellbook from my father and he got akumatized as Collector. That's twice of my irresponsibility" He said with two fingers he counted.

"Oh boy." Tikki shook her head, "You two got some things in common."

"Yeah, I know but I know how to be responsible in life." He said and went downstairs to talk to Marinette's parents while Tikki hides.

"Hey, Marinette. Is there something you wanna tell us?" Sabine asked *Adrien.

"Actually, I was hoping I spend time with Adrien at his photoshoot at the Dieppe along with my friends tomorrow morning. It can help me get inspirations at the beach for my designs" He said as Marinette.

"Oh, that sounds like a great idea. Let's hope Gabriel approves of you being there." Sabine said.

"Yeah, I hope" *Adrien said with a little concern that his father doesn't know that he is in Marinette's body.

"I'm sure you won't bother as long Adrien does his job," Tom said.

"Uhh...Adrien is more than a friend sometimes. He is like my favorite model in Paris that gives me the strength to design fashion from inspirations" He said, hoping he did sound like Marinette as what she thinks of him.

"Nice. Perhaps you two should work together." Sabine suggested.

"We'll see, mom," He said.

-

The next day was the day to head to the startrain. *Marinette received a text that *Adrien called their friends last night about coming along and himself to the photoshoot. She was relieved to finally have some company rather than be all alone. Just then a knock was heard on the door.

"Adrien, we got twenty minutes," Nathalie informed her.

"Yes of course. Just....uh....practicing my poses" She said with an excuse. She used Adrien's fencing bag to pack his trademark clothes and swimming trunks since it's just one day at the beach and then back home. She hopes that Shadow Moth doesn't try anything evil to akumatize a victim.

"Very well then." Nathalie left the door.

"Well, I could use a break and spend time. Adrien would really want that" She said to Plagg.

"Well soon as the photo shooting is over you may spend time with him," Plagg said.

And our friends too. Chloe and Lila are so gonna figure out that I as Adrien is doing a photo shoot at the beach" *Marinette said.

-

It was a very long trip from the train station and the classmates were excited to see Adrien, or in that case, *Marinette doing a photo shoot at the beach where it's temporarily closed because of the photoshoot. *Marinette couldn't believe her eyes that she's swooning at this body but quickly shook it off because she's in the body of a model boy.

"Yeah, keep swooning at his body. You have no idea how great in shape he is since his father makes him eat on a strict diet" Plagg said.

"Sorry, Plagg but I'm just very nervous and distracted. Adrien is gonna kill me. I admire that his dad did the swimming trunks but it doesn't match Adrien's eyes. Okay, okay. Focus, Marinette" She tried not to get so distracted in the mirror. The swim trunks that she was given were more of a blue tone than his green eyes. She walked out of the changing room but saw *Adrien in her one-piece swimsuit. She hopes that he didn't look.

"Wow, ummm, looking good." *Marinette stutters out.

"Thanks. Don't worry, I swear I didn't look" He assured me.

"Good. But still, you look really handsome when shirtless." She said quietly. He mouthed thanks with a blush when the photographer called for her.

"Mr. Agreste, we're ready!" They called.

"Okay, here goes nothing." She gulped but *Adrien gave her an encouraging wink. The swapped teen heads to the sandy beach to do her photoshoot on this gorgeous day.

"Okay, Adrien. Are you ready?" The photographer asked *Marinette.

She nodded shyly due to how it feels without a top on her torso since this is new to her. She puts on the sunglasses which were part of the photo shooting.

"Okay, now look at the camera and lower your shades a bit and wink." The camera guy said.

*Marinette then did as she was told and lowers the sunglasses and adds a seductive smirk while lowering the shades.

"Good, now for a few more shots." The photographer said.

*Marinette continued by making poses like one with her doing the same pose but without the sunglasses, then makes one of her laying on a sunbed folding her hands behind her head pretending to suntan. And then of her holding a surfing board while giving thumbs up.

"Very good. This will be perfect advertising for this beach. You seem to improvise this new style." The camera guy said.

"Well you know, I wanted to try new styles." *Marinette said.

"Oh well, that's interesting." The camera guy said.
