This is gonna hopefully be the longest chapter yet. Fingers crossed. Anyways enjoy. Oh and I forgot to mention that Luka goes to the same school but he's a grade higher so they don't see him often.
NOTE!: I do not own Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Chat Noir or the characters! Those are both owned by Jeremy Zag, Thomas Astruc, & whoever else that I missed.
The Talent Show (January 22/Friday 2pm)
Marinette POV
I'm standing in the crowd waiting for the talent show when I hear Nino starting to announce the first one.
"First up we have...Liela Rossi." He says bitterly. Liela starts to sing Head Above Water terribly. I think she may have ruined the song for everyone here.
"Okay! Thankfully that's over but now we have Luka Couffaine."
"This song goes out to my gorgeous girlfriend Kagami Tsurigi." He says. Awww! That's so sweet! He starts to sing Marry Me by Jason Derulo.
"105 is the number that comes to my head
When I think of all the years I wanna be with you
Wake up every morning with you in my bed
That's precisely what I plan to do
And you know one of these days, when I get my money right
Buy you everything and show you all the finer things in life
Will forever be enough, so there ain't no need to rush
But one day, I won't be able to ask you loud enough
I'll say, "Will you marry me?"
I swear that I will mean it
I'll say, "Will you marry me?"
Singing
Oh, yeah
How many girls in the world can make me feel like this?
Baby, I don't ever plan to find out
The more I look, the more I find the reasons why
You're the love of my life
You know one of these days, when I get my money right
Buy you everything and show you all the finer things in life
Will forever be enough, so there ain't no need to rush
But one day, I won't be able to ask you loud enough
I'll say, "Will you marry me?"
I swear that I will mean it
I'll say, "Will you marry me?"
And if I lost everything
In my heart, it means nothing
'Cause I have you
Girl, I have you
To get right down on bended knee
Nothing else would ever be better, better
The day when I-
I'll say, "Will you marry me?"
I swear that I will mean it
I'll say, "Will you marry me?", yeah
I'll say, "Will you marry me?" (The day I get on my knees)
I swear that I will mean it
I'll say, "Will you marry me?" (And what you do me, baby?)
Got me singing
Got me singing
Would you marry me, baby?
105 is the number that comes to my head
When I think of all the years I wanna be with you
Wake up every morning with you in my bed
That's precisely what I plan to do" I look over to see Kagami standing there with a huge blush on her face. Luka really is so sweet to her. I start to hear applause and quickly clap alongside them.
"Okay! Kagami sure is one lucky gal. She sure should keep that one." This gave a chorus of laughs and an even darker bush from Kagami. I see Luka walking down and planting a kiss on her lips. This emits the first smile from me in a long time.
"Next up we have Kim Le Chien with a song for his soon to be girlfriend. Well, we'll see after the song." YESS! MY SHIPS HAPPENING!
"Did I mention
That I'm in love with you
And did I mention
There's nothing I can do" He starts doing these goofy dance moves.
"And did I happen to say
I dream of you every day?
But let me shout it out loud if that's okay
(Hey!) If that's ok! (Hey!)
I met this girl that rocked my world like it's never been rocked
And now I'm living just for her and I won't ever stop
I never thought that it could happen to a guy like me
But now look at what you've done, you got me down on my knees
Because my love for you is ridiculous
I never knew
(Who knew?)
That it could be like this
My love for you is ridiculous
My love is R-I-D-I-C-U-L-O-U-S!
R-I-D-I-C-U-L-O-U-S!
It's ridiculous!
Just ridiculous!
And I would give my kingdom for just one kiss
Well did I mention
That I'm in love with you
And did I mention
There's nothing I can do
And did I happen to say
I dream of you everyday?
But let me shout it out loud
If that's okay
(Hey!) If that's ok! (Hey!)
I gotta know which way to go, c'mon gimme a sign
You gotta show me that you're only ever gonna be mine
Don't want to go another minute livin' without you
'Cause if your heart just isn't in it, I don't know what I'd do
Because my love for you is ridiculous
I never knew
(Who knew?)
That it could be like this
My love for you is ridiculous
My love is R-I-D-I-C-U-L-O-U-S!
R-I-D-I-C-U-L-O-U-S!
It's ridiculous!
Just ridiculous!
And I would give my kingdom for just one kiss
C'mon now! (Hey!)
Oh yeah. Yeow!
Alright! (Hey!)
Alright! (Hey!)
Because my love for you is Ridiculous
I never knew
(Who knew?)
That it could be like this
My love for you is ridiculous
My love is R-I-D-I-C-U-L-O-U-S!
R-I-D-I-C-U-L-O-U-S!
It's ridiculous!
Just ridiculous!
And I would give my kingdom for just one kiss
C'mon now!" At this point, everyone's so excited to see who the lucky lady is. After all, Kim made a complete fool out of himself for her.
"ALIX KUBDEL, WILL YOU BE MY GIRLFRIEND?!" Everyone is silent waiting for the answer.
"YESS!" She screams.
"SHE SAID YESS!" Kim screams excitedly, jumping off the stage and running towards Alix and pulling her into a deep kiss. I notice that Adrien isn't next to me anymore and wonder where he went. I see him up on the stage, looking straight at me. I give him a little wave and he waves back.
"Now that I finally got Kim a girlfriend, my dude Adrien and I have a surprise for our friend Marinette." Ummm, what?
"This is for you princess," Adrien says looking straight at me.
"You're insecure, don't know what for
You're turning heads when you walk through the do-o-or
Don't need make-up to cover up
Being the way that you are is enou-ou-ough
Everyone else in the room can see it
Everyone else, but you, ooh" He sings with a choreographed dance. Did...did he really do all this, just for me?
"Baby, you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground, it ain't hard to tell
You don't know, oh-oh
You don't know you're beautiful
If only you saw what I can see
You'll understand why I want you so desperately
Right now I'm lookin' at you, and I can't believe
You don't know, oh-oh
You don't know you're beautiful, oh-oh
That's what makes you beautiful
So c-come on, you got it wrong
To prove I'm right, I put it in a song
I don't know why you're being shy
And turn away when I look into your eye-eye-eyes
Everyone else in the room can see it
Everyone else, but you, ooh
Baby, you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground, it ain't hard to tell
You don't know, oh-oh
You don't know you're beautiful
If only you saw what I can see
You'll understand why I want you so desperately
Right now I'm lookin' at you, and I can't believe
You don't know, oh-oh
You don't know you're beautiful, oh-oh
That's what makes you beautiful
Na-na-na, na-na-na, na, na, na
Na-na-na, na-na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na, na, na, na
Na-na-na, na-na-na
Baby, you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground, it ain't hard to tell
(You don't know, oh-oh)
You don't know you're beautiful
Baby, you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground, it ain't hard to tell
You don't know, oh-oh
You don't know you're beautiful
If only you saw what I can see
You'll understand why I want you so desperately
Right now I'm lookin' at you, and I can't believe
You don't know, oh-oh
You don't know you're beautiful, oh-oh
You don't know you're beautiful, oh-oh
That's what makes you beautiful" I feel tears streaming down my face. I pull my hood down and look to see everyone looking at me.
"Mari, you're beautiful. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise." I couldn't take it. I run over and jump onto the stage and kiss him. I don't care if the whole school is looking. I just need my kitty. We both go off the stage, hand in hand. When we stop, I feel him wipe away my tears.
"You're beautiful, princess. I love you." He whispers.
"I love you too you silly kitty," I whisper back. He puts his arm around my waist and we stay like that while watching many more people perform until my turn. I walk up the stage with Chlo, Kagami and Alix and hear Nino announce us. I take a deep breath in and we start our routine.
Third Person POV
Marinette

Kagami
All
"Like a small boat
On the ocean
Sending big waves
Into motion
Like how a single word
Can make a heart open
I might only have one match
But I can make an explosion" Chloe starts to sing.
"And all those things I didn't say
Wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight
Can you hear my voice this time?" Alix continues.
"This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I'm alright song
My power's turned on
Starting right now I'll be strong
I'll play my fight song
And I don't really care if nobody else believes
'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me" The four girls sing together.
"Lost my friends and I'm skipping meals
Everybody's worried about me
In too deep
Say I'm in too deep (in too deep)
And it's been three years I miss before
But I can't hold on to hope no more
I've lost hope
Yeah, I've lost hope now" Marinette sings with tears streaming from her face. She changed the lyrics from the original to words that represent her life. Gasps can be heard from the audience but Marinette pushes on, willing herself to not break down.
"And all those things I didn't say
Wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight
Why won't you listen to me?
I'm letting it out
I can't go on now
I'm not okay no
My power's turned off
I've stopped being strong
I cannot fight it
Now nobody else believes me
Cuz I've lost all the fight left in me
Lost all the fight left in me
Like a small boat
On the ocean
Crashing down
And sinking
Like how a single word
Ruined my whole life
I have only one match left
What can I do now?
I'm letting it out
I can't go on now
I'm not okay no
My power's turned off
I've stopped being strong
I cannot fight it
Now nobody else believes me
Cuz I've lost all the fight left in me
Know I've lost all the fight in me" Marinette finishes. She runs off the stage and sprints out of the room. Adrien running after her with all of her friends behind him.
Marinette POV
I said it. I finally said it. I told everyone that I'm not okay. But I ran out. I know they'll follow me but I don't care. I run into a random classroom and lock the door behind me. I take my earings off and put them in my purse so I don't have to talk to Tikki. I ignore the pounding on the door and just sitting there. I took the razor out of the side pocket of my purse and pulled my sleeve up, pressing the blade into my arm, letting the tears flow out. The door flew open. From the looks of it Adrien kicked it. He rushed towards me and took the razor.
"WHAT THE F**K ARE YOU DOING!" He screams at me. I start sobbing. He wraps his arms around me. The rest of my friends come to engulf me in a hug, tears streaming down their faces.
"Shhh, it's okay Princess. Let it out." He strokes my hair, slightly calming me down.
"TIKKI!" I break free of my friends' hold and rush over to put the earings back in.
"Marinette? What...OH MY GOD, YOU'RE BLEEDING!" This causes all the kwamis to come out.
"Pigtails. What did you do." Plagg asks me, showing his caring side.
"I-I don't know." I start to sob even harder. All the kwamis come and nuzzle my hands or face and my friends wrap their arms around me, as I break down in their arms.
They finally know but this whole mess isn't over yet. See you guys tommorow.
