"See you at school tomorrow!" Bridgette called as she parted ways with Mia and her brothers. She turned to George and Samuel. "Are you guys going to insist on walking me home?"
"Yes we are." George stated.
"After all, we can't leave a damsel in distress!" Samuel joked.
Bridgette just sighed. "Well come on then." And they set off. "It's a shame Félix couldn't join us."
"Yeah. His father has him do a ton of clubs." George explained.
"I swear one day I'm going to kick his father's butt." Bridgette admitted.
"I prank him every chance I get." Samuel laughed.
"Good!" Bridgette remarked.
"Bridgette, do you like Félix?" George asked.
Bridgette didn't answer straight away. "Yes. And I'd do anything to help him."
They said nothing for a moment.
"We've been thinking of starting up a band." George admitted. "I know a bit of guitar, and Samuel can play the ukulele. Mia can play the flute and Max can play a little bit of electric guitar, although he'll never admit that normally. Matthew plays the drums. But we don't have a pianist. Or vocals."
"Well I can sing. And Félix knows how to play the piano!" Bridgette exclaimed as they reached her house.
"There's no way we'd get that through his father." George said.
"I'll work something out! See you tomorrow!" She exclaimed as she ran inside.
"How was school Bridgette?" Asked her mum.
"School was great!" Bridgette exclaimed as she ran up to her room.
She immediately took off her bag and grabbed her phone from a compartment.
"Félix?"
"Hello Bridgette. How are you feeling today?"
"I'm great! Look, there's something I need to ask you."
"Since you sound more hyper than Matthew on a good day, I'm assuming it's a positive question?"
"Yes! So George and the others were thinking of starting up a band, but they don't have a pianist."
"And how is this related to me?"
"Well I can remember you saying that you know how to play piano—."
"My father would never let me be in a band."
"Félix your father doesn't let you do anything. And anyway, what's life without a little risk?"
"That's a Harry Potter quote isn't it?"
"Sirius Black to Harry Potter before he left for his fifth year of Hogwarts. I'm surprised your father let you see that."
"He didn't. I just spent lunch reading the books in the library. But I see your point."
"So?"
"I believe your sentence was cut off."
"I guess it could be. So are you going to do it?"
There was a pause on the other end of the line.
"Félix?"
"Let me give George a call." He said after a moment.
"Ok! Well I guess I'll see you tomorrow?"
"You will. Good—." Félix paused. "Thanks for today Bridgette. It's fun just getting to be myself. And to have friends."
"You- you're welcome Félix. See you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow Bridgette." And he disconnected the call.
Bridgette smiled, beginning to unpack her bag. As she was hanging it up her phone chimed, telling her she had a new message.
She looked at the message. It was from George and it read 'It's on girl! We'll have to find a way to get it past the Dementor though.'
She giggled, sending back 'The Dementor? That's what you call Gabriel Agreste?'
After a moment, she got a message back that read 'Samuel's idea.'
A moment later, her phone started playing a chirping tune, telling her she had a call. She hit the green button, picking up the device.
"Hello?"
"How on Earth did you do it?" Came George's voice.
"I guess it was my lucky day."
"Any ideas on how to beat the Dementor?"
"Masks. Masks and costumes. We can rehearse at school."
"Do you mind if I put this on a group call?" George asked.
"Not at all." Bridgette replied.
George's camera deactivated for a moment, and soon he had a 7 piece call set up.
"Triplets and you called all three of us." Mia remarked.
"I don't want one of you not letting the others talk." George explained.
"So why did you call us?"
"We need to arrange band details." George said. "First off, what are we calling it?"
There was a pause.
"I have one idea, but it's kind of stupid." Mia admitted.
"Just tell us." George said.
"'Lucky Day'. Don't even ask why."
"Hold on." George said, his camera deactivating. After a few moments, there was a chime. Bridgette checked her messages to see George had created a group chat with everyone in it. He'd sent a message that just read. 'Send a thumbs up if you think it's a good name, a thumbs down if you don't.' Bridgette sent a thumbs up, as did the others.
"Ok that was easy." George said.
An alarm went off. Bridgette realised it wasn't hers. It didn't appear to be Felix's either. But the other 5 hung up without a word.
Bridgette paused, before disconnecting the call.
"That was an awkward end to the conversation kid." Came a voice from the side of the room.
Félix whipped around to see a tiny flying black cat with green eyes.
"What on Earth are you?"
"I'm a kwami."
"That doesn't help. What's a kwami?"
"Kwamis are basically the personification of ideas."
"Like emotion?" Félix said.
"Yeah. That's the peacock. But Melody only knows the location of two kwamis. The ladybug and the black cat"
"Who's Melody?" Félix asked.
"Let's go find out!" Plagg exclaimed.
"How?"
"The ring!" The kwami said, indicating a black cat-shaped ring.
Félix put the ring onto his finger, before Plagg got sucked into it.
There was a flash of green light, and the boy's suit turned into a fully black superhero suit with a golden bell on the neck. The outfit was completed with black cat ears and a black tail. His hair was messier than he would have liked, and his the white in his eyes had turned green. Most importantly, there was a black hair covering his face.
He smiled, before leaping out of the window. He ran across the rooftops, unsure where he was heading. But he was following pigeons. He didn't know why. He paused, thinking he heard a voice.
"How many times are we going to fight this pigeon dude before we kill The Butterfly already?"
Yep, he definitely heard a voice.
"For the last time Mime, we aren't going to kill him if we can help it!" Came a girl's voice.
"Stop calling me Mime Melody!"
Cat Noir followed the voice, Recognising the name from his earlier conversation with Plagg.
"Otherwise we'll just get confused between me and the villain Mime!" The boy continued.
"How many heroes are there?" The Cat remarked, joining the duo.
Melody froze, her expression one of surprise. It only lasted a second before she said. "6, but there should be 7. We're just waiting on Ladybug."
"Ladybug's here!" Said a black haired girl as she joined the other heroes.
"Mime, will you go and tell the others the new heroes are here?" Melody said, turning to her friend.
"For the last time, my name is 'Kid Mime'!" The boy snapped as he disappeared.
"Melody." The blond girl said, smiling. "That brown haired boy was Kid Mime."
"Cat Noir."
"And you guys already know my name." Said the spotty-suit girl.
"Come on." Melody said.
