The Seniors of the light music club were in a panic. Only a couple weeks until their final exams and then they would be done with high school.

Juleka, Marc, and Ivan had taken up to planning their welcoming concert, mixing songs from the Light Music club with the new song Marc and Juleka had written. Nathanael had been busy and wouldn't say anything while Mylene had become a student director in the theater club.

"If I have to look at one more date, I swear I'm going to go blind," cursed Nino, closing his history notes before rubbing his eyes.

"A break would be good," announced Adrien, standing up to stretch before grabbing their tea kettle to refill everyone's cups.

Alya closed her book and binder, intending on resting on them for a minute when she noticed Marinette staring out the window.

"Design idea," asked Alya as she used her book for a pillow, poking Marinette's side. Marinette jolted up, dropping the pencil in her hand.

"Wha-no, just thinking. About high school." She scrambled to pick up her pen, holding it close.

Everyone paused what they were doing to listen.

"I really enjoyed our time in the light music club. All the concerts and tea and summer camps. But I really want to do one last concert."

"But Chloe's not president anymore, it would be impossible to plan something so last minute," countered Nino.

"Not unless it was a secret concert," announced Ms. Bustier, suddenly appearing in the room.

Nino looked between the still closed door and their teacher. "When did you get here?"

Ms. Bustier smirked, "Teacher's secret!"

"She's been here the whole time, sitting in the corner. I thought you would have noticed when the tea was already hot," answered Juleka. Ms. Bustier scowled, but then turned into a pout as she took her chair back in the corner near the memorabilia wall.

"I needed a break from reading final papers alright? And all the other clubs are a study hall right now."

"But, we're a study hall right now," said Alya, lifting her head to look at her teacher.

"But they don't have tea. Or macarons."

"What do you mean, secret concert," asked Adrien, refilling Ms. Bustier's cup.

"Something our light music club did our senior year was after the exams, we held an impromptu concert for our senior class."

Marinette's eyes immediately lit up. "Oh please, that would be perfect! I even have a new song and everything!"

"That would be fun, and almost delinquent," Adrien giggled, excited by the prospect.

"We would just need to sneak our instruments into the classroom before any of the other teachers or principal would notice," added Nino, rubbing his hands schemingly.

"And I could run over after I finish my tests," added Juleka.

"Let's do this," cheered Alya as she stood up, everyone jumping up to agree.


The morning of their exam, Francois Dupont was quiet, the morning mist settling eerily around the school. Five senior students and three junior students crept onto the campus, the giant doors cracked open by their homeroom teacher.

"I don't see why I am a part of this," grumbled Chloe, who had been bought over by a morning coffee and baked good.

"Because no one questions the former student council president," said Adrien as the group creepy along the hallways to the light music club room. He was carrying a semi-conscious Marinette on his back, Chloe again questioning their relationship when she saw them.

"She's not a morning person."

Chloe grumbled something and slurped her coffee.

"Thanks for helping Mylene," whispered Ivan, holding the sleepy girl's hand.

"No worries, it's kinda fun to see the school with no one around."

Alya smiled at the cute couple, thankful Juleka would have Ivan as a fellow band member and Mylene as a friend to keep her company for her senior year.

With final projects and fun activities going on the final weeks of school, it really started to hit Alya that she was finishing her high school career. She watched as her freshmen and senior homeroom teacher unlocked the club door, her friends crowding into the club room, instruments already packed and ready to move. Adrien carefully set Marinette down and helped her grab her bass before grabbing his keyboard. Ivan and Mylene were helping Nino with his drums while Chloe and Ms. Bustier stood watch.

Alya couldn't have asked for better friends. Hopefully she will find good friends in university.

"Get a move on, we don't have all day," Chloe nudged Alya more into the room, kicking Alya out of her stupor. She grabbed her guitar and followed the others out of the classroom. They quickly made their way out of the hall, running into the janitor who just gave them a thumbs up.

Ms. Bustier unlocked her classroom, the students moving the instruments to the back.

"Why can't we unpack them now," asked Nino, looking at Chloe and Ms. Bustier.

"Official school examiners will stop by every senior classroom to explain the test rules and re-enforce no cheating. So while the instruments wouldn't mean much, they would question it," explained Ms. Bustier.

"Honestly Nino, she already said that in class," scoffed Chloe.

"Must have been between my first and second nap of the day."

"Marinette, can I whack him for you?"

The sleepy girl looked between Nino and Chloe. She reached forward to tap his hat, but he leaned out of her reach.

"Too far. You go," she consented, Chloe whacking the lid of his hat.

"Oh, and no hats during the exam," added Ms. Bustier, hiding her amused grin.

"No hats?!"

Ms. Bustier shook her head, pointing to the lid of his hat. "They don't want you to hide answers."

"What answers? There was no study guide for this test!"

The other students giggled at Nino's mock hurt as he took off the hat and gave it to Ms. Bustier for safe keeping. Ivan and Adrien spread a sound blanket from the theater club over the instruments, the plan set.

They heard the opening of the giant school doors down below, everyone waiting as murmured chatter started to filter in.

"Guess this is it," announced Adrien, the senior and junior students stepping up to each other.

"You both are invited too to the performance, and Nathanael and Marc whenever they decide to show up," added Alya.

Ivan and Mylene nodded, Ivan giving Nino a fist bump for good luck before leaving. The moment they left, Juleka jumped the group in a hug.

"Do your best. I'll be cheering for you," she wished, her seniors hugging her tight.

"We will, good luck with your tests too," wished Adrien.

Juleka let go, waving goodbye as she left.

The seniors took their seats, other students slowly trickling into the classroom. They looked at the mound in the back, chattering softly to each other with glances at the club before taking their seats.

"You ready," Adrien asked Alya, a pencil, pen, eraser and blank water bottle on his desk. Marinette was perking up after a couple tugs of her pigtails from Nino.

"Yeah, I think I am."

"Students, settle down please."

The class, mostly quiet, turned their attention to the front. In front of Ms. Bustier desk stood an old Chinese man trying to hide his Hawaiian shirt underneath a business jacket. ALya could swear she had seen him before.

"Greeting senior students, thank you for all the hard work and effort you have put forth into today, your final examinations. A reminder, there will be no cheating, so any phones, water bottle wrappers, hats, shoe and legs tricks need to be acknowledged now or if you are found cheating, you will receive a zero and will need to retake a year."

The students looked at each other nervously, no one stepping forward.

"Now that's settled, I will explain your tests." The examiner set his hand down on a stack of sealed packets. "You will be taking three test for the next five hours. You may do them in any order you wish. You will be reminded at every hour mark. Please no writing on the tests other than where indicated. You will be provided blank paper and scantron in your packet. Once you are done with your test, put all your papers in your packet and raise your hand for your teacher to collect.

"Now, as I call your name, come and retrieve your packet and do not open them until your teacher tells you to."

The examiner started reading the list, students stepping forward to retrieve their tests. Alya took hers, which had her full name and student ID, along with a spot to write her final grade by the examiners later.

"Ms. Bustier, if I may, what is that," asked the examiner. Every student followed his eyes to the lump in the back of the classroom.

"A reward once they finish their tests."

The examiner looked between their teacher, the lump, and some trying to look innocent students looking everywhere else. He smiled then left Ms. Bustier breathing a sigh of relief..

"Alright everyone, begin."


Alya stared at the clock, willing time to go faster. She had finished her test half an hour ago, the rest of the class waiting with her for Ms. Bustier to call time. The younger grades had been let out over an hour ago for half day due to normal final testing, leaving the Juniors waiting in the club room.

"And that is time," announced Ms. Bustier, the students immediately cheered and made way for the Light Music club to perform. Whatever Ms. Bustier said was lost as she took the stack of packets off her desk as Kim and Alix moved it to make way for Nino's drums. Nino quickly swiped his hat off the desk as he ran back to retrieve more drums.

The five Juniors crowded into the classroom, helping the seniors setup in record timing.

Alya strummed her guitar, everything sounding in tune before looking at her clubmates. They all smiled at her, giving her the ok to start.

She looked back to her audience, seniors from the other class filing in when they saw the setup.

Everyone's favorite...!

It's our never-ending lu-la-la Miracle Sing Time

I'll sing, I'll sing, it's the absolute best way to express my love!

Even if the composition is clumsy or the lyrics are iffy

I want to convey my soul with all I have!

What can we do, we can't follow this time table

That's been decided for us automatically

Billowing waves of us infinite dreamers dash out and assemble in the hallway

Sorry if my manners are bad! But don't mind how I look

I'm totally addicted to playing; a sparkle, maybe this is what youth is

ever ever... Forever shine

I really love you!

It's a tension-rising lu-la-la Powerful Gig Time

My heart is, my heart is, an excitement-seeking genius

Even if I say "Huh!?" or start racking up misses

I want to set free my boiling bravery

On with the tremolo, followed by flam

Ain't it awesome, ain't it awesome, ain't it awesome to feel so good

I'm always so happy, it's the way "now" feels

Live on, fair maidens, with your bare instincts

No matter what, there's subjects more important than homework

It's our after school tea, chatting and practice

I get so much humor, feeling natural and dazzling smiles it makes my stomach hurt

Our breathing was excellent! But there were some riffs that weren't so good

Will you give me some special training? It's just about my curfew, but I don't wanna go home

Never never... Can't Say Good-bye

I love you so much!

It's a totally awesome lu-la-la Wonderful Show Time

Music is, music is, already so us!

Even without standing ovations, prizes or an audience

We wanna play this moment for real

Yesterday's regrets, tomorrow's concerns

Frankly, frankly, what good do they do? Who do they do good for?

I'm always so lucky, it's something I've grasped "now"

Be disirous, fair maidens, if it's not given to you, say farewell

Alya looked over to see Ms. Bustier standing in the corner with the examiner, whispering to each other softly with proud looks on their faces.

It's not written in any book or taught even a bit in class

But in my whole life I'll never forget

The miracle I never thought existed in this world: when we sing together

I can believe, I can be strong!

I love you all!

It's our never-ending lu-la-la Miracle Sing Time

I'll sing, I'll sing, it's the absolute best way to express my love!

Even if the composition is clumsy or the lyrics are iffy

I want to convey my soul and larger-than-life life with all I have!

Does today seem like yesterday? Tomorrow like today?

It's fine, it's fine, as long as you're having fun it's a huge success!

I'm always a rocker, "now" is my rebellious stage

Onward, fair maidens, embrace your hopes!

I love you, I love you, thanks for loving me too

I'll sing, I'll sing, I'll sing again today with all my heart

I love you, I love you, thanks for loving me too

I'll sing, I'll sing, forever I'll sing with all my love

Everyone cheered and applauded, Rose even crying as the students begged for an encore. Alya looked back to her friends who all seemed tired but willing to go on. Except Adrien who was practically bouncing in place.

"Are you guys ready for another," asked Alya, the classroom cheering. She looked to Ms. Bustier for approval, their teacher and the examiner nodding their consent before the examiner left with the tests.

Alya started playing the rest of the band picking up her beat to play the next song.


"That was the absolutely perfect way to end high school," sighed Marinette as the group tidied up the clubroom.

"Not completely, we still have to get the results next Monday," added Adrien.

"Plus we have Jagged's wedding over the weekend," brought up Juleka.

The musician and his manager had picked the date in June, inviting Ms. Bustier and the Light Music club to their wedding in London, since that was where Jagged's family was from.

"Oo, did Penny come to you to design the dress," asked Alya, cleaning her guitar before putting it away.

"Oh no, though she did ask, I referred them to Mr. Agreste. Although Mr. Agreste had me help with Jagged suit since it wasn't 'rock and roll' enough. And Jagged was very demanding about having me help."

Adrien pulled Marinette close, the girl flustered as Adrien kissed her hair like the proud boyfriend he was.

Alya smiled at the couple, happy they would have some time together before Adrien went away for university. Where he was going, he kept mum, and whether Marinette knew already or not was a mystery.

"Oh Adrien, what had you so bouncy during the performance," asked Marinette, trying to divert attention from her blush.

"Oh, the examiner, I recognized him when he came back." Adrien ran to the memorabilia wall, pulling out the old scrapbook. He set it on the table for the others to see.

"It's the old old Light Music Club's teacher advisor."

They looked to where Adrien pointed at the first picture of the Light Music Club, an old man standing with the three original students.

"How is he still working. He looks old even then," asked Nino, Marinette whacking his hat.

"I guess someone from the Light Music Club always stays local," teased Alya, Nino and Marinette the most likely candidates since Juleka was uncertain what she wanted to do for her career.

The students watched the picture for a moment before going back to work, Adrien returning the scrapbook.

"What are you going to do with the drums Nino," asked Alya, turning to their drummer as he packed up the drums.

"It's the school's, I just polished it up when we found it, so it stays for Ivan."

The group was interrupted by a knocking at the door.

"It's open," called out Alya.

The door creaked open, revealing Marc and Nathanael.

Oh right, two more Juniors Juleka would have for her senior year. So four friends to cover the missing place from the seniors.

"We got something, before you left," started Marc.

"Even though we aren't you club Juniors, you helped us a lot, so we wanted to at least have something done to remember us by," finished Nathanael as Marc pulled out five booklets.

The light music club immediately jumped forward to see the cover. It was a picture of Marinette and Adrien looking like superheroes, with Alya, Nino and Juleka following on the street below. Alya looked to be using her phone to take a picture of the dynamic duo.

"The Miraculous Adventures of Ladybug and Chat Noir," squealing Alya, taking the print off the top, flipping through the book. The other members took their copies, flipping through the book.

"We managed to finish a preview comic. It still needs some editing, but hopefully we can take it to publishers to sell next year along with the story we have.

"This is absolutely perfect," praised Adrien, slowly going through the pages.

"Why am I the bad guy," asked Juleka, showing the picture of herself in a weird pink getup.

"Just the bad guy of the day. The real villain is Hawkmoth, who uses people's negative emotions to try and steal Ladybug and Chat Noir's Miraculous," explained Marc.

"We create villain looks for everyone we know, except Marinette, it's a little tricky for her. But yours was the most eye popping we thought would be the best sell. And relatable for our audience."

Juleka nodded, content with the answer.

"I'm a reporter! A superhero reporter," Alya cheered.

Nino chuckled to himself before flipping a page. Alya looked over to see Chloe acting like a brat.

Marinette remained quiet and thoughtful, her face growing redder as she read the story. Adrien stood behind her, holding her waist to read over her shoulder instead of reading his own copy.

"I'm really not that heroic," she mumbled.

"Artist interpretation," answered Nathanael with a shrug.

"You are practically the mom friend anyway," added Nino.

Marinette turned even redder, Adrien not allowing her to hide.

"Thank you so much! This is the absolute best," thanked Alya as she hugged the boys. The rest of the club joined in the hug.

"Thank you for the inspiration," said Marc.

"We'll be sure to let you know when its officially published," added Nathanael as the group hug dispersed.

"Congrats on graduating," they wished as they left the clubroom. The club waved goodbye before looking at each other. Juleka pulled up her guitar over her shoulder as if to leave.

"You'll come with us to see the results on Monday," asked Alya.

"Wouldn't miss it. I just need to get home and pack for the wedding. Jagged's letting Luka come as my plus one, so got to emotionally prepare him for that."

The seniors nodded, hugging their Junior one by one before sending her off.

"Just the four of us now," said Nino, everyone still watching the door.

"Like how it started," added Marinette.

The seniors returned to packing, Marinette helping Adrien with the tea stuff.

"Sh-"Marinette immediately covered Adrien's mouth before he could finish his curse. Alya and Nino snapped around in shock over sunshine trying to curse.

He held up his gift from Juleka.

"We forgot to get Juleka something as a going away gift."

"Wouldn't the knots count," asked Nino, looking to the group as the girls started to panic.

"Of course not! She's our beloved Junior, we have to get her something special," said Alya.

"I could make something like a Light Music Club letterman jacket or something."

"In four days, plus a wedding," groaned Alya.

"Plus it should be something from all of us," added Adrien. The three music club members panicked, racking their brains for an answer.

"Why not write her a song," asked Nino.

"In four days, plus she will be with us all the time," said Alya.

"Not all the time, we could pull Luka on it so he could distract her when we needed to write."

The group gaped at Nino as if he had grown a second head.

"When did you get smart," asked Marinette.

Nino frowned, "I can be smart when I want to. And in regards to a gift for a Junior, I want to."

The shocked expressions morphed into smiles and giggles.

"Alright, we need to write a song for our Junior," asserted Alya. The club quickly started unpacking again, Marinette pulling out her song book as they began to plan.


This chapter is being split into two chapters, so we'll see Juleka's song later.

Thank you for all the responses, we will be doing an epilogue (10 years later) chapter at the very end, which I'm getting excited with the ideas. So this makes a total of four chapters to come.

Thanks again for reading!
