Yea, I kinda like doing these stories with my favorite Miraculous characters doing something that has to do with music... SEND HELP PLZ \(0~0)/
Either way, here are the big points of the story:
- Pairings are Adrienette, DjWifi, and Tomatofox
- Sabrina doesn't deserve hate because she likes Chloe, so she back-stabs Chloe in this!
- I practically gave them the same roles from my last story (minus Lila, Chloe, and Sabrina), I couldn't think of anything else haha
- Mrs. Bustier is Nathanael's mom in this (like tomato mom, like tomato boy)
- Lila is Queen Bee, Nathanael is Lupus (wolf miraculous), Sabrina is Mockingbird (parrot miraculous), and so on
- I put in Jagged Stone because he is 100% awesome and 25% badass
Well, that's about it! I hope you all enjoy, and don't forget to leave a review if you did enjoy it!
Also, get ready for a bit of crack stuff in this... :)
At long last, it was almost gym time. Everyone was excited, as today was the track day and the final day before spring break. The day Kim and Alix would finally settle who could run faster. The day Marinette would finally be able to do something where she could watch Adrien and his arms without being stalker-like. And Alya, along with Lila, were well aware of this. But little did they know, soon they would be doing something much more productive with him when the time came.
"Alright class," began Mrs. Bustier. "I have one more assignment for you all before you got to P.E. and then go home for spring break."
The class groaned, hoping it wasn't homework. Well, minus Chloe. She wanted to spend as much time with Adrien as possible. If it was a group assignment, she would take advantage of it.
"The talent show will be coming up in two weeks, on the Wednesday after you get back from Spring Break!" she said. "Just show us what you got, and you can perform a solo, in groups, or all as one! Class dismissed."
The class began to head down to P.E., and Nathanael told his adoptive mom goodbye before catching up with Nino and Adrien.
"What the hell are we gonna do?" Nino said. "I can only DJ."
"I can only sketch," Nathanael said. "I need to work on it though. I'm suffering art block."
"I can play the piano, but not much else," Adrien said. "Wait! I've got it!"
"What?" Nino and Nathanael asked simultaneously.
"Let's see if Marinette, Alya, and Lila can help us!" he exclaimed. "They've all got something! I'm sure of it!"
"Great idea dude!" said Nino.
"Maybe we can get the class together, apart from Chloe," Nathanael suggested.
"Great!" said Adrien. The three boys then ran over to where the girls were, and kinda surprised them.
"A-A-Adrien!" said Marinette nervously. "W-W-What are y-y-you d-doing here?"
"Hey, ladies, we need help," he said. "Would you all mind helping us?"
"Not at all!' said Lila. "Right ladies?"
"Right!" said Alya. Marinette just gave a nod yes since she was so mesmerized. Adrien NEEDED her! Of all the heavenly women on earth, he had chosen her, the lowest of them all (according to Chloe). Gosh, NO! That bitch didn't deserve to have her words running through anyone's head. Now, back to the real world.
"Great! The whole class should be meeting at the park at 5:30. See you there!" he told them. He shot Marinette a wink, and then left for changing.
Marinette ultimately ended up passing out for 30 seconds.
P.E. actually went really well. Kim wasn't in his prime that day, and Alix easily beat him on the track and put a temporary rest to his bets. She was next to Adrien when they did their push-ups, and she was able to marvel at his arms and frame without seeming weird. She noticed Max talking to Kim about his loss, and heard he wanted revenge on Alix. It was a great day.
But the talent show was a completely different subject all together. She had tap dancing for a talent, but what would Adrien think of it? Her legs always felt like jelly if she was ever around him, so tap dancing next to him? She was almost considering getting herself out of this somehow. But when she got home, Tikki said otherwise.
"Marinette, you can't just back out!" she said. "What about Adrien?"
"I'll just be a total klutz!" she exclaimed. "I'd embarrass myself so badly!"
"Would you rather do that, or let your class down, your friends down, and Adrien down?" she asked.
"Hmm, you're right!" she exclaimed. "Thanks Tikki! You're the best!"
"I know," the kwami said cheekily. Marinette only chose to boop her nose before pulling herself together, eating a snack, and running to the park 1 hour later.
5:30 PM, Friday afternoon
Nathanael and Lila were sitting on the park bench, and were enjoying each other's company waiting for their classmates.
"And this one is of... you," he said, showing her another page of his sketchbook. It was her, in her civilian clothes, but she had makeup on. It looked cute.
"I love it," she said. She brought his forehead down to her lips, and pressed them against it in a soft, yet sweet kiss. It lasted for only a second, but Nathanael would never forget it. Suddenly, out of the blue, all 12 of their classmates arrived. They had invited Sabrina because she was growing distant from Chloe and was hanging out with Marinette, Lila, and Alya.
"Did we interrupt something?" Alix said mischievously.
"Nope," said Nathanael. Little did he or she know, everyone had been there for 5 minutes and had all witnessed the birth of "Tomatofox".
"Did you get the plans sketched out?" Adrien asked.
"Yep," Nathanael said, pulling a slightly larger piece of paper. The classmates gathered around the bench, and took a close look at it.
"Okay, here's the layout," Nathanael began. "There will be 2 on the main stage frame. Anyone want to tell us your talent?"
Marinette raised her hand.
"Whatcha got girl?" Alya asked.
"Um, I can tap dance!" she blurted out. She felt her cheeks heat up, nut noticed everyone's interests had sparked.
"Wow!" said Lila. "That's awesome Marinette! I couldn't dance to save my life. Watch."
She yanked Nathanael up, and tried to do a swing with him, but ended up falling on her butt.
"Ow," she said. Nathanael pulled her up, and she rubbed her jacket. "My point illustrated."
"Still, that's great talent!" said Adrien. "If you need a musical accomplice, I'll be your pianist!"
Marinette's cheeks flustered with red.
"I-I would love one!" she said. "T-T-Thank you Adrien!"
"It's no trouble," said Adrien.
"Well, shouldn't some of us sign up for equipment management?" asked Kim.
"Yeah, Chloe might rig the stage or judge's opinions!" Alix exclaimed.
"I think she said something about that!" said Sabrina. "We need those jobs!"
"Well, no time like the present!" said Max. "Let us commence our offers!"
They had all landed a job. Nathanael was on stage inspection, Juleka and Rose were checking all sheets, Alya and Lila were checking for cracks or curtain tears, Ivan was in charge of camera equipment along with Mylene and Max, Nino was in charge of microphones, Alix and Sabrina were in charge of lighting, and Kim had gotten the role of the commentator.
"TESTING!" Kim shouted. Everyone jumped.
"Come on man!" yelled Nino. "We have work to do!"
"Sorry," said Kim.
"I'm gonna check on Marinette," said Alya. She found the bluenette going over a piece of paper, contemplating her decision to do this.
"Hey girl," she said. Marinette jumped out of her trance at this.
"Hey Alya!" she squeaked. "What are you doing back here?"
"Checking up on you," she responded. "How ya feeling?"
"Nervous," she quivered. "How the hell am I gonna tap dance while Adrien's right next to me?!"
"Girl don't worry!" Alya said, taking a hold of her shoulder. "You'll do great! The thing is two weeks away, and we've got jobs here, so you can come here and practice anytime you need."
"Okay, thanks Alya," said Marinette. "Hey, where is Adrien?"
"PUT YOUR BACK INTO IT!" Adrien yelled. He and Kim were pushing the piano out on stage right so Marinette could be center stage.
"How heavy is this thing!" Kim yelled. The thing had wheels, but it was still hard to move. Suddenly, a trapdoor opened, and the cherry tomato boy's head popped out.
"Hi."
Lila screamed at the top of her lungs and nearly roundhouse kicked his head off. Had he not have been Lupus, his funeral would be in a few days.
"HOW AND WHY THE HELL ARE YOU DOWN THERE?!" she screamed.
"I took the stairs," he said. "Hey, is this even supposed to be here?"
"Negative Nathanael," said Max, pulling out a blueprint of the place. No one knew how or where he got it.
"So who put it here?" asked Alix. "I've gone over the acts, and there is absolutely nothing that would require this trapdoor."
"I'll put my muscles on it that it was Chloe," said Kim. Everyone groaned at how self-centered the jock was sometimes, but realized he was probably right.
"So... what do we do?" asked Nathanael. "Just put a locker underneath it or something?"
"We can't do it ourselves, or she'll pin it on us," said Ivan.
"Well, it might be difficult, but I could make it a part of my routine!" Marinette suggested.
"But how?" Rose asked. "Are you going to jump over it?"
"Actually, yes!" she responded. "I've got a few more tricks up my sleeve."
"OK, can I get some help out of here?" asked Nathanael. "The stairs are wet, it smells like someone died, and there's also a jug of weird yellow stuff that doesn't look like lemonade."
"Oh God," said Kim. He and Lila grabbed the tomato artist and threw him on the stage. But the piano was evil, and rolled over Nathanael's hand. He screamed. LOUD.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
Sabrina was calmly reading a book while her kwami, Parakeet, was eating an orange on her work desk. She had no idea how oranges helped the parrot kwami recharge, but it just did. Suddenly, her phone rang. It was Chloe.
"Hello?" Sabrina said.
"Sabrina!" Chloe said, seeming happy. "You remember the talent show, right?"
"Yeah," Sabrina said. She was nervous, but kind of interested. Maybe Chloe was about to admit she set up the trapdoor.
"Well, during Marinette's act, I set up a trapdoor for her!" Chloe said. "It'll be SO humiliating for her!"
"Uh-huh," said Sabrina nervously.
"You are on board with this, aren't you?" Chloe seethed.
"Totally!" Sabrina exclaimed. Well, now she had proof.
"Well, I need to style my hair before dinner, so I'll call you later," Chloe said. She then hang up without a goodbye.
"That's Chloe for ya," said Sabrina to Parakeet.
"Uh-huh," the parrot kwami replied. She took a big bite of another orange slice, and wiped her mouth.
"We need to get to patrol!" Parakeet exclaimed.
"You're right!" said Sabina. "Parakeet, MOCK ME!"
Sabrina, using the parrot bill pin on her headband, was instantly transformed into Mockingbird. Her blue boots went well with the red and yellow spandex she couldn't get off until she un-did her transformation, her green mask and purple wings just finished the details, and she carried around an ear-splitting bird call for a weapon.
She met up with Lupus and Queen Bee for patrol that night. Volpina and Shell Shocker had went last time, then the main two before that, so it was their turn.
"What happened to you?" Mockingbird asked, pointing at Lupus' hand. The steel wolverine-like blades coming out of the ares between his knuckles couldn't hide that his hand hurt. Bad.
"I got hit with a chair wheel," Lupus lied. "Work at home can be violent."
"Sure you did," said Queen Bee, tossing her brown hair back. "Now, let's search the town."
It was the first day of official rehearsal. Nathanael's hand... had seen much better days. He hadn't broken anything, it just hurt like hell. Kim was yelling random stuff in to his microphone, and the cameras were refusing to budge.
"WHY WON'T THESE DAMN THINGS MOVE!" yelled Mylene.
"I don't know!" said Ivan. "Max, you having any luck?"
"No more than you!" he shouted. "KIM! WHERE IN SOCRATES' LEFT ARMPIT HAIRS ARE YOU?!"
"Backstage!" Kim yelled. "And they aren't budging because they're not operational! One click and we're live! You suckers better hope no one watches after 6!"
"At least the lights work!" yelled Alix. She then accidentally flipped them on to use all of their juice at once, and it created a light brighter than the sun.
"OH GOD MY EYES!" Alya yelled.
"SHUT IT OFF!" Nino cried. Alix shut off every light in the theater.
"Not like that!" yelled Sabrina. She pulled out her phone, and flipped the light switch on. Finally, things started to go back to normal. Well, until Marinette came out in black high heeled tap shoes.
"You're dancing? IN HEELS?!" Juleka shrieked. "But HOW?! I can't even tap my fingers in sync on my desk!"
"I really don't know," said Marinette. "They're just stylish, I guess."
"Beautiful!" said Rose.
"Thanks," said Marinette shyly.
Suddenly, Nathanael screamed loudly. Again.
"Not this again," she muttered. She ran backstage, but just found Nathanael cowering at Lila, who had tackled him.
"And that's for scaring me with that trapdoor," Lila said, chuckling.
"You've illustrated your point," said Nathanael. "NOW CAN YOU PLEASE LET ME UP?!"
"Sorry," said Lila, helping the tomato boy up. He brushed off his jacket, and ran to the audience area.
"Okay, I think we've got this," said Adrien, pushing the piano out with Kim's help. "You got your routine written down?"
"Uh huh," Marinette said.
"Great!" Adrien said. "KIM! Gimme a hand will ya?!"
Kim and Adrien pushed the piano out to stage right, and Marinette was placed center stage.
"So, I thought we could do a cover of the song Jagged Stone made for Ladybug," said Adrien. "That okay with you?"
"Sure!" said Marinette. "I mean, if you're good with it!"
Adrien nodded, and shouted something at Kim to read off of the script.
"Well everyone, I can say we've had a wonderful night, haven't we? Well don't leave just yet, we've still got one more act to go through! Ladies and gentleman, give it up for Marinette Dupain-Cheng, who will be doing a tap piece, and Adrien Agreste, her piano accomplice! They'll be performing a cover of the hit single from Jagged Stone, "Miraculous!"!
And also, who ever decides to edit my script is going to be hunted down and found!
The "audience" ignored Kim and clapped for the two, and they made their way through the song, and Marinette had a great time. The thrill of being on stage just... calmed her somehow. And the fact she was calm next to Adrien was a miracle in itself. When they wrapped up, everyone was applauding them.
"WOW!" exclaimed Rose, wiping a tear from her eye. "THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL!"
"Thank you all!" said Marinette taking a bow.
"We'll be here all week!" Adrien joked. Even though it was kinda true, Kim let out a loud "BA-DUM-PSSH" over the microphone that nearly raped everyone's ears.
"Well, that's a wrap for today," said Alya. "We better get going."
With that, everyone dispersed, and left to attend their own business.
That's the end of Part 1 of the talent show! Stay tuned for Chapter 2!
