"We're on our way!" Adrian called happily as the train doors closed, looking at the others with excitement. "I can't believe we are finally going! Disneyland here we come!"
Marinette couldn't help but smile at his excitement and feel buzzed from it. Her best friend laughed at him as he wiggled in his seat. "Adrian, you're like a puppy at Christmas."
"I can't help it! I've been looking forwards to this for weeks!"
Annamarie smiled as she messed around with her earphones, trying to detangle them. "I'm glad you are excited Adrian."
"You guys got any plans one what you'd like to do?" Nino asked as they left the station.
"I have to get an autograph!" Adrian said loudly. "I so want to get one!"
"Dude, those lines can take hours! You'll miss out on most rides!"
"Just one! A princess would be awesome but anyone would be cool for me."
Marinette nodded. "I want an autograph too, if we can."
"Great." Alya laughed. "You two can wait for a signature and Nino and I can go on the rides!"
"What about me?!" Annamarie huffed, faking being hurt.
Alya gave her a dismissive wave. "You can go where you want."
"Charming." She scoffed but then laughed. "Anyway, I really want to see the parade."
"Oh yeah!" Alya squealed. "That's the best part! Singing along with the songs and HEY! I know what we should do!" She laughed, jumping up and down in her seat. "We should assign each other ring tones!"
The others frowned at her. "Wha?"
"Just for the day, assign each other Disney themed ringtones." Alya giggled, pulling out her phone. "I downloaded every Disney soundtrack ever onto my phone. We can make it like a game!"
Annamarie smiled and nodded. "Sounds like fun. Might be a way to keep Adrian from bouncing out of his seat."
Said model smiled. "Alright, but let's set a few rules."
"Like?"
"Like... no soundtrack, it has to have vocals."
"Agreed."
"And..." Marinette said. "Has to be sung by a character. So no Phil Collins."
Alya sank. "Ahhh! Okay then, my turn for a rule; has to be from an animated film!"
Nino nodded. "Alright so my turn... it has to have vocals, be sung by a character, from an animated film and... you can't pick your own song."
"Well that's a no brainer." Adrian chuckled, jabbing his friend in the ribs. "That's part of the game."
Annamarie lifter her hand a little. "My final rule; one film per person. So you can't have two songs from the same film."
"Alright then, so who's going first?"
"I say Nino." Marinette suggested. "I think you might be quite easy."
"Why am I easy?"
"Because you're so lay back, so easy going, you don't have a worry about anything." Alya listed for him, scrolling through the list of films before her then sat up suddenly. "No worries! That's it! Hakuna matata! It even means no worries!"
The group all laughed and nodded. "That's so right! Fits you great Nino!"
"Alright, so we have a winner! Nino is Hakuna Matata from Lion King!" Alya laughed, finding the song and sending it over for him. "Alright, who's next?"
"I have one for Marinette." Adrian said, smiling softly.
The blackette blushed a little. "Really? What is it?"
"God Help the Outcasts."
Everyone looked at him with curiosity. "What? Why? It's such a depressing song!"
"Well, yeah, it's kinda is but... the lyrics really remind me of Marinette." He looked down at his phone and loaded them up. "I ask for nothing, I can get by, But I know so many, Less lucky than I." He shrugged and lowered the phone. "It just reminds me of all the good work you do Mari, how you are always thinking of others, trying to do the best thing. You do the best for others, not yourself. It's... just you."
The girl blushed at his praise and tried not to explode with happiness. "Th-thanks A-Adrian."
"Alright, so God Help The Outcast from Hunchback of Notre Dame for Marinette." Alya said, tapping in her choice. "Who's next?"
"Oh, I think I have one for you Alya!" Marinette managed, still beat red from the flattery. "Friend like me!"
"From Aladdin? But isn't that sung by a guy?"
"So? We never said it has to be sung by the same gender." Annamarie insisted, loading the song up and bobbing along with it. "Yeah, fits you Alya."
Listening to the music, Alya nodded. "Yeah, it does. Alright. I'll take it. So... we only have Annamarie and Adrian left. Any ideas?"
"I dunno. Annamarie's a hard one." Nino said, checking his phone for ideas. "I can't think of anything for you..."
"Yeah she is... complicated." Alya tactfully said then realised it and looked up. "I mean... umm..."
"It's alright." Annamarie said with a small smile. "I know I haven't really been 'Disney Material'."
"But you have changed." Marinette reminded her. "You're not who you were before and you're being more yourself now."
"And we like the real you." Nino agreed.
The dancer smiled in agreement, thinking about her change and how she liked it as well. Marinette nodded, still scrolling down the list of songs before her before fixing on one. "I've got it." She said with a smile. "Reflection from Mulan."
"Another depressing song?" Alya complained.
"Not really." Mariette continued. "It's about accepting that who you appear to be is perhaps not who you are meant to be and doing something to change that." Her eyes turned to a surprised looking Annamarie and it almost looked like she was going to cry, the emotions were so raw in her eyes.
"But it's so sad!" Alya complained again.
"Actually, I would be honoured to have that song." The dancer said, smiling. "Mulan has always been my favourite Disney Princess. And we even have the same hair style."
Alya finally conceded and nodded. "Yeah, you do. Alright, so Reflection from Mulan for Annamarie. So... only Adrian left."
"Another tough one." Nino said, looking at his best friend.
"Not really." Annamarie said with a shrug, looking at him as well. "I have one already."
"Oh?"
"How so?"
"Someone trying to fit in? A superstar in his own right yet still looking for their father's approval? Doing whatever needed to find where they belong?" She shrugged. "Sounds a lot like Hercules and I just think Go the Distance would suit you."
Adrian blinked in amazement. "Wow, that... that's really thoughtful Annamarie."
"Yeah." Alya nodded. "You should be a psychiatrist with that kind of skill." She waved her hand in the air. "Annamarie Torella, Psychiatrist extraordinaire!"
"Get lost Alya." She teased, pushing down her hand. "I'm just... thoughtful like that."
The group all laughed at her while they assigned the final ringtone and Nino looked up. "So, that's everyone."
"What now then?" Adrian asked, looking around the train. "We still have a while before we arrive."
"Yeah so... how about..." Alya thought then smiled. "Let's pretend you have the miraculous phone numbers. What ring tone would you assign them?"
The three heroes suddenly tried not to draw attention to themselves and looked down to their phones while Nino leant back in his seat. "Ooh, that's a good question. Well, Chat is an easy one; Everybody wants to be a cat. From the Arristocats."
"I always hated that song." Annamarie said and Adrian suddenly looked up at her, eyes wide as he remembered Peacock saying the exact same thing. "Besides..." She continued. "What's that alley cat song from the same film? That suits him more."
Alya frowned at her. "Whoa, do you not like Chat or something?"
"No, he's alright. I just think he's a bit full of himself." She said casually. "But I guess a song that is full of itself suits him."
"So..." Adrian interrupted, getting the subject away from his alter ego. "What about Peacock?"
The others looked at him and down at the phones, back to scanning songs. Annamarie kept out of it, deciding it wasn't fair to pick a song for herself and just watched the others. Alya eventually stopped and bounced a long with a song. "How about, 'You can Fly' From Peter Pan?"
The other thought about it. "She is the only miraculous that can fly." Adrian said after listening to the song.
"Yes but the song's sung by the choir. Not a character." Marinette pointed out.
"Oh darn, it is. Okay back to the drawing board."
"What about Feed the Birds from Mary Poppins?"
"Not animated Nino."
"Part of its animated."
"Most isn't. Sorry, doesn't count."
They went back into silence, getting a little annoyed when they couldn't find a suitable song. "Umm, I keep getting pulled back to Merida from Brave."
Annamarie winced. "Why?"
"Well, she's confident, she's a good fighter, outgoing and she's... well brave."
Nino nodded in agreement. "Yeah, it does kinda fit."
"Sorry but I disagree." Marinette said. "I don't think that fits at all. Yes, Peacock is brave but she's not confident, when she first appeared she was very shy. It wasn't until those fake stories about Ladybug and Chat that she could even speak to the press on her own. As for being a good fighter, she's still learning, she often makes mistakes but she never lets it get her down." She smiled at the memory of her partner. "But she is selfless. She would rather put herself in danger than let others get hurt."
Across from her Adrian frowned to himself, trying to think of a time when Peacock had shown her selflessness to the press. It was true, she was always putting herself into danger to keep her friends safe but normally only her partners and Akumas saw that side of her. Even the Volpina incident had been kept strictly off the record by the hospital.
"What makes you say that Mari?" Alya asked, the same curiously in her eyes as in Adrian's head.
Marinette must have realised her mistake and waved a hand in the air. "Oh, I don't know, I just get that impression. You know, that she's a free spirit and caring for everything around her."
"Kinda like Pocahontas?" Nino said with a smile.
"Yeah!" She said, glad to be back on subject. "Yeah, she is like Pocahontas."
"In that case, there is only one song for it. Colours of the Wind."
"Oh that is perfect!" Alya said, hitting her own forehead. "Why didn't I think of that!"
"So..." Adrian stated, leaning forwards. "Only one left is Ladybug. Ideas?"
"Humm, I don't know." Annamarie sighed. "Its hard to put Ladybug into a Disney song."
Alya looked out the window and smiled as the station came into view. "Don't need to! We're here!"
Marinette tried not to look disappointed as she got her bag together, saddened she would not get her own Disney song but it soon stopped when she hurried off the train and headed towards the park.
A/N: Hello everybody! Question of the day; what song would you choose for Ladybug?
Because I would have continued this on a bit more IF I could think of the right song. But no matter what, I could not think of one. So I will pass it over to you!
Remember the rules;
- It has to be sung by a character
- It has to be from a fully animated film
- It can't be from a film already mentioned; Aladdin, The Aristocats, Mulan, Hunchback of Notre Dame, Pocahontas, The Lion King, Hercules
Good Luck!
