Chapter 26

Sylvia was pacing backstage and she couldn't stand still. Her mind was in a whirl and her nerves were shot. She knew that she practiced everything and that she was prepared but she didn't feel prepared at all.

What if her new songs weren't enough? What if she suddenly sang the wrong tune? What if-?

Sylvia groaned and shook her head. This was not helping the situation! She wanted to run away and simultaneously stay. Everyone put their heart and soul into this concert and here she wanted to just run away. She was frustrated with herself.

"Hey, girl. I think you're walking this backstage through. The floor's on fire!" A voice suddenly spoke up behind her. Sylvia stopped her pacing and first glanced down to make sure the floor wasn't burning. She then turned around and saw Alya and Marinette walking towards them.

"Alya? Marinette? What are you guys doing here? Shouldn't you be at your seats? The show is starting in a few minutes!" Sylvia said with a concerned expression and the two girls gave her a warm smile.

"You need to relax, Sylvia. You're stressing yourself out and the show hasn't even started" Marinette said and put a hand on Sylvia shoulder. Sylvia bit her bottom lip and averted her eyes to the ground in embarrassment.

"There's no need to worry about anything, Sylvia. We made sure that everything was right for this performance and if it wasn't for you, none of it would've happened. Did you forget you were the one who made sure everything was under control?" Marinette pointed out.

"Marinette's right, Sylvia. Take a deep breath and relax. You'll do great out there! We all believe in you, now all you have to do is believe in yourself," Alya said and the girls both smiled at Sylvia. Sylvia felt her nerves calm down and she smiled back at them.

"Yeah, you're right. Thanks guys. I really needed that," Sylvia said and the girls made a group hug while laughing. Sylvia didn't know what she was even worried about anymore. It was time that she believed in herself.

"What are friends for?"

"Well, you friends better go take your seats. The show's about to start" Yvette said from behind and they turned around to face her. Alya and Marinette nodded. They gave Sylvia one last glance and motivating gestures before they went to take their seats.

"Are you ready, Sylvia?" Yvette asked while Sylvia watched her friends go sit down in the crowd. A small smile played onto her lips and she nodded. She was ready, no matter how much she stressed about this performance. She had given her best.

"Wait!" Nathanaël's voice reached her ear and Sylvia turned back to face the redhead. He was a bit out of breath but in his hand was a bouquet of yellow lilies. "I'm sorry I'm late. I wanted ot gvie you this before the show starts. I-I hope you like them" Nathanaël said and Sylvia smiled.

"I love them, Nathanaël! Thank you so much!" Sylvia hugged the male making him blush a deep crimson. He vaguely returned the hug and Sylvia took the flower. "Well, I have to go, but can you put these in some water?" Sylvia asked Yvette and she nodded.

"Good luck, Sylvia. I know you'll be great!" Nathanaël said and Sylvia grinned at him. She nodded at him and watched as he excited the backstage. Unknown to her, she had a small blush on her cheeks and she took a deep breath.

"Now I'm as ready as I'll ever be... Let's go!" Sylvia went on stage with all the lights off and no one knew what was going on. She took a deep and shaky breath before she smirked. A light suddenly illuminated her figure and everyone gasped. It was Sonic!

"Good evening, everyone. Tonight, I won't be stealing your voices...but your cheers!" Sylvia said and a puff of smoke exploded in front of her. The people didn't know what to think of what they just saw and even Adrien was looking around. Was no one going to do something?

Here I am... A little girl
A thousand clams but one pearl
It's a big world against me
So much for being carefree.

The light shone on Sylvia once again but this time she looked normal again. She had her long hair falling down her back and she wore a white dress with a umbrella in her hand. She twirled it in her hand and she had a small smile on her lips.

Life as a star is so much to bear
I've lost my personality somewhere
Hiding behind mask is the real me.
My heart, staying in Paris.

Adrien sighed and sat back down in his chair. She gave him a scare there. He thought that she had been akumatized but by the look Nino was giving him, he knew Sylvia planned this. She was a strange one.

I've seen too many places.
Got confused between all the faces.
Though I can be kind of dramatic
To sing makes me ecstatic.

Sylvia threw her umbrella into the air and another puff of smoke emerged. The song started to change and then she returned with an entirely new outfit on. Marinette grinned at Alya who gave her a playful punch. Her and Samuel's outfits were fantastic.

Chloe lay onto Adrien and he sweat dropped while watching the rest of Sylvia's performance. He knew that Chloe would be clingy and merely shrugged it off. He glanced to his side where Marinette said and gave her a small smile that she gladly returned.

Sylvia continued to dance with her backup dancers onstage and occasionally smiled back at Léon who backed her up on the singing. The people were enjoying the show and it made Sylvia feel even more alive.

She always loved the adrenaline feeling that pumped through her system when she sang in front of people and at times, she completely entered her own world. Her voice was a gift that she embraced lovingly.

With each song that passed her outfit changed and all the songs flowed into each other. The crowd went wild with each song and they even sang along. Sylvia knew to pick all her top songs, was a good idea, it united the entire crowd.

However, she had two new songs and they would break the flow. She wanted the crowd to enjoy themselves until the last two songs and then get their attention. It was completely different from all her usual shows...and she liked it.

The last song of the flow finally ended and the crowd cheered. Sylvia breathed heavy and smiled at the people. "I want to start and thank all of you who came out today to watch this performance. You're all amazing!" Sylvia said as Léon went backstage to get something.

"I know you've all been having a great night and that you've probably sang more than I have" Sylvia said and everyone laughed. "These last two songs are new additions and will be coming out on my new album as well. Please, enjoy"

Léon came back on stage and gave Sylvia her guitar. Sylvia put the guitar around her and then let her fingers naturally fall onto the positions of her fingers. "This song is called: A Melody for Little Brother" Sylvia said and took a deep breath before she started to play.

I recall the days when we were young.
Two siblings having so much fun, together.
Our childhood days are still the best.
You put your sister up to the test...

Adrien's eyes were wide at the song and he looked at Sylvia in shock. She was actually singing the song! He was proud of her. The song went from just a made up piece of work to an official song and all he could do is listen and hope that her brother heard this.

There was a time when we would play.
You slipped, then I ran your way.
I bumped my head, and you were saved instead...

Marinette smiled at Sylvia's words and she remembered when she sang the words. She couldn't compare her voice to Sylvia's melodic and emotional voice. Every word meant something dear to her and Marinette hoped that those meant the same for her brother.

Oh, my Little Brother
How I long to spend some time with you
Oohwoah
How I wish that I could tell you that I still love you
Oh, my Little Brother
Though I'm just a faded memory
I will wait for you 'till the end of time
And here forever after...

Sylvia played the guitar a bit harder as she continued and she had a small, yet sad smile on her lips. She glanced at Adrien and then looked back up at the crowd. They were all quiet and listening to her letter.

There are many things that I regret
The worst of them I can't forget, were your birthdays
I could never attend or be with you
Those special times are through.

Sylvia remembered the times she wished to be with her brother and celebrate his birthdays. She wished that she could go back in time and do everything over again. However, she knew that she couldn't and that's why she was singing this song now.

I hope one day you can forgive
And then together we will live
Until then I'm here, your presence always near.

Sylvia briefly stopped and took a deep breath. She could feel a bunch of emotions bubble up in her chest and it was an almost painful feeling. Yet, she felt happy. For the first time she could say how she felt and she could tell him...

Sylvia sang the last chorus while looking at Adrien with a small smile and ended the song with one last tune. Her breathing was heavy but she wore a small smile on her lips. The crowd was silent for a moment before they all cheered.

Sylvia glanced at Marinette and the female gave her a thumbs up with a wink. Sylvia laughed lightly and bowed to the crowd. It was a success. Sylvia glanced up at the crowd and her eyes widened with a small gasp when she noticed a figure standing at the door.

Father... H-He actually came... They made eye contact and for that intense moment she could've sworn she saw him smile even if it was only a millimeter. After that, he turned his back and walked out of the hall as if nothing ever happened.

Sylvia smiled sadly and tossed her guitar to Roger who stood backstage. He caught it and put it next to him. He gave her a wide grin while Yvette nodded at her. They were proud at her and that she was able to finally face her past.

"Alright, now I know we're at our last song" The people made disappointing sounds. "I know, I know. But I promise you that this song will blow you away! This is for two very extraordinary people who saved me countless of times and I never got the chance to say thank you" The lights suddenly went off.

"For all of you people who have been saved by these two heroes and never got to say thank you. We're all saying it tonight." Sylvia said and the lights suddenly went on again to reveal her in a Ladybug dress and Léon was in a Chat Noir suit.

"Thank you, Ladybug and Chat Noir. You're just... Miraculous" Sylvia finished and watched as the people cheered. Marinette and Adrien's eyes were wide and they didn't expect to have her sing a song about them.

I live a life that's full of fun
It keeps me sharp and on the run
When evil comes, I find a way
To use my force and save the day

(Ah Ah Oh)
Life's got me spinning 'round
(Ah Ah Oh)
My feet are off the ground
(Ah Ah Oh)
And when the sun goes down,
you better hang around...

Sylvia sang and Marinette's eyes widened. Sylvia glanced down at Marinette and gave her a wink before she continued to dance. Léon clapped his hands on the beat and the people in the crowd followed.

It's Ladybug, jumping above
Her power is on when things go wrong
It's Ladybug, the lucky charm
Her magic is on, always so strong

Sylvia and Léon sang together and the crowd went wild. The backup singers joined in and everyone danced together in sequence while Alya was freaking out next to Marinette. She was filming the performance for her Ladyblog.

They look at me and think I'm cool
I'm Chat Noir and at night I rule
My ring is charged, with energy
My claws are out just watch and see

(Ah Ah Oh)
Oh no, you'll never know
(Ah Ah Oh)
My force will only grow
(Ah Ah Oh)
And when the moon is out,
You better hang around...

Léon sang as Chat Noir and Adrien rolled his eyes. Of course he was cool, but that was how Sylvia saw him. She really had a way of summing him up. Marinette giggled at the words and knew well that it was definitely Chat Noir.

It's Ladybug, jumping above
Her power is on when things go wrong
It's Ladybug, the lucky charm
Her magic is on, always so strong

Sylvia spun around and in a bright flash of light, she wore her regular clothing. Everyone was shocked at the sudden action and wondered what she was doing. Léon did the same and changed into normal clothing.

Another day, I'm back at school
I think about him, he's so cool
He looks at me, I look away
But does he see me anyway?

(Ah Ah Oh)
He's got me spinning 'round
(Ah Ah Oh)
My feet are off the ground
(Ah Ah Oh)
And when the sun goes down,
that's when I become...

Marinette blushed at her words and her eyes were wide. How did she know? No, did she know? That wasn't possible. Adrien blinked a few times in shock and disbelief. Wait, was Ladybug a student? No way.

Miraculous, simply the best,
up to the test when things go wrong.
Miraculous, the luckiest,
the power of love always so strong.

Sylvia and Léon pounded their fists together before another flash of light emerged. They wore their Ladybug and Chat Noir outfits again but this time it was Léon who was singing. The lyrics made Adrien blush while his eyes widened.

I am a cat, just chilling out
But in the night she's all I think about
I feel so strong when she's around
She picks me up when I am down

(Ah Ah Oh)
Oh no, you'll never know
(Ah Ah Oh)
My love will only grow
(Ah Ah Oh)
And when I see her smile
that's when she becomes...

The crowd started to join in with the singing of the chorus and Sylvia smiled. She glanced down at two blushing friends and knew that they were both flustered from the song. She watched in amusement as Alya sang while Nino kept with the beat.

Miraculous, simply the best,
up to the test when things go wrong.
Miraculous, the luckiest,
the power of love always so strong!
