Mylene was sitting next to Marinette, watching as the band Ivan was in got set up. Marinette was already making goo-goo eyes at Adrien. Mylene was making sure that her earplugs were fastened firmly in her ears.

Rose started the band off. "We are Kitty Section!" she shouted. "1, 2, 3, 4!"

The band started to play a song about an adorable little bunny rabbit. Only, the music genre didn't quite match up to the words. And it was loud. Very loud. Honestly, Mylene thought, she wouldn't be here if Ivan hadn't invited her over. This would probably be the last time she showed up to one of their practices.

Next to her, Marinette was completely enthralled. Mylene smiled to herself as she toyed with the thought that maybe it wasn't the music that her friend was interested in.

After about three painful minutes of music, the song ended with a bang. The performers struck a dramatic pose for a few seconds before relaxing and smiling. Mylene took out her earplugs.

"So, how was it?" Luka asked, looking straight at Marinette.

"I loved it!" Marinette immediately started gushing. "It was so good, especially that solo in the middle! You guys are great!"

Mylene could've sworn she saw Luka blush a little. "Thanks." He turned to look at her. "How about you, Mylene, what'd you think?"

Put on the spot, Mylene picked her brain looking for something to say. "It was, uh, very loud, and, um, energetic."

Ivan winced sympathetically from behind the drums. "Sorry, Mylene, we don't really play anything quiet."

"N-no, it's fine. Your music isn't bad."

Adrien laughed (it was a friendly laugh, not a mean one, which was nice). "Not bad. That's not the worst compliment I've ever received."

Mylene could feel the atmosphere relax a bit. She looked over at Ivan and he shrugged. She put back in her earplugs.

Rose counted the band off again and they launched into another very loud song about true love and flowers. Mylene watched and did her best to endure.

AN: The non-fantasy AU of the week. Instead, have a not so shippy moment featuring the band from Cpt. Hardrock (an episode that I haven't acutally gotten around to watching, so apologies if Luka is out of character during the two lines he says.)
