Chapter 8: Cosette, Part 1


Disclaimer: I do not own Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Chat Noir or anything associated with it. I only own Allison, Efa, Henry and any other things associated with her. Also, as this chapter would be based on the 2012 movie, Les Miserables, it is my unfortunate duty to inform you that I am not associated with it. If I was, Eddie Redmayne would be married to me instead.


If you see something that looks like this, it means that whoever the character was, they were thinking. It's be stated.

If it looks like this, they were singing... or sing-talking. (Their initials would be stated at the side to be clear.)


Marinette stood behind Adrien with a small smile, sifting through the script in her hand from time-to-time.

Adrien sat in the director's chair, softly smiling at Allison.

Allison leaned on a pillar in the stage with a small frown.

Allison opened her mouth, the words flowing out of her mouth in a soft melody.

AM: Cosette, now I remember.

Marinette's eyes shifted to Adrien, as he stood at the sides and staring at the sidewalk.

On the sidewalks was where Chloe Bourgeois stood, acting as if she was giving a beggar a coin.

Marinette sighed as Chloe made a face as she touched Nathaniel's hand while giving him the coin.

Her eyes shifted back to Allison, who's eyes were glued to Chloe.

AM: Cosette, how can it be?

Chloe looked at Adrien and blinked flirtily.

Marinette groaned.

"That's not how Cosette is supposed to act." Alya whispered to Marinette, who threw her arms up in exasperation.

AM: We were children together.

Adrien started to take a few steps closer to Chloe, who started to strut away.

AM: Now, what's become of me?

He ran over to Allison and pulled her over, his eyes trained on Chloe.

AA: Eponine, who was that girl?

Allison scoffed, rolling her eyes.

AM: Some bourgeois, two-penny thing.

At this, Chloe's eyes snapped to Allison with a glare.

AA: Eponine, find her for me.

Allison's eyes turned mischievous as she faced Adrien.

AM: What will you give me?

AA: Anything.

Allison shook her head, looking back at Chloe.

AM: Got you all excited now, but god knows what you see in her.

She turned back to Adrien with a small smile.

He reached for his pocket and Allison frowned.

AM: No. I don't want your money, sir.

Just as Allison started to walk away, Chloe let out a small laugh.

Allison glared at her.

"Take his money! You could use it to buy soap and water for that dirt all over your face!" Chloe said.

"Have you ever heard of theatrical make-up? Are you aware of the fact that Eponine was a poor french girl, Chloe?" Allison growled annoyed. "This has been the third time you interrupted."

Adrien sighed. "Let's just take a break, guys."

Allison huffed and walked over to Adrien,and crossing her arms.

"She's driving me insane." Adrien groaned, running a hand through his hair.

"Yeah?" Allison huffed. "Try ignoring her rude stare when I sing 'bourgeois, two-penny thing.'"

Adrien smiled a little, grabbing her hand. "I know it's tough, but it's just for this project."

"I know." Allison groaned, smiling a bit as Adrien subtly kissed her hand. "but why her as Cosette? She can't even act. Better yet, she can't even sing."

"Well, you'd be happy to know that Ms. Bustiere allowed me to replace her." Marinette added as she passed by.

"Really?" Allison called after her as she sprinted to the food table.

"She just announced she'd be Cosette, anyway, so I think we'd be in the position to replace her." Adrien shrugged.

"Oh, all my prayers have finally been answered." Allison sighed.

"All?"

"Well, except this one where you kiss me?"

Adrien looked around.

While everybody was distracted, he leaned in and gave her a short kiss.

Allison smiled as he pulled away.

"Tough that we can't announce this yet." Adrien sighed.

"After the play," Allison giggled. "or else everyone would think Marius replaced Cosette with Eponine."

Adrien shrugged. "I might have a small crush on Eponine."

"Everyone knows I have a crush on Marius."

"That's me!" Adrien smiled cheekily. "I'm going to talk to Chloe now."

"Why?"

"Alya said that Marinette thought Chloe wouldn't react that violently if it was me."

"Good luck!" Allison said, kissing his cheek and running over to Marinette and Alya.


Allison was playing around with the actor for Gavroche (a cute little boy, from the school's elementary theatre department.)

He was holding a prop gun and making gun noises while Allison ran around.

"Gavroche! He's gone mad, that boy! Somebody, help!" Allison screamed, speaking in Eponine's slight french accent.

He giggled.

"What?" Chloe's screeched echoed around the room.

"Chloe," Adrien sighed.

"Who'd you replace me with, then?" Chloe huffed. "No one's better than me!"

"Maxine Hansen." Allison piped, pointing at the said girl.

The blonde was a girl who came from another class, but she was the best Cosette Allison could think of.

The blonde looked over at Allison.

"I'm just a prod."

"But I heard you singing In My Life yesterday with Kim." Allison smirked.

Kim smiled as Allison faced Adrien once more.

"He needed to practice, but he needed a Cosette because it's a duet between Valjean and Cosette. She was willing and a great singer."

"Can you sing for us?" Adrien asked.

Chloe glared at Maxine who let out a small smile before singing.

MH: In my life, there are so many questions and answers that somehow seem wrong. In my life, there are times when I catch in the silence, the sigh of a faraway song.

Maxine looked at Allison who smiled in encouragement.

MH: And it sings, of a world that I long to see. out of reach, just a whisper away waiting for me.

Chloe's face darkened.

"She can't even reach the high parts!"

Chloe, then, proceeded to sing... and failing.

"Go on, do the high parts."

MH: Does he know I'm alive, Do I know if he's real? Does he hear what I say? Does he feel what I feel?

The was a short moment of silence and anticipation as Adrien faced Allison.

"Babe, you can teach her the placements for all the scenes on short notice, right?"

Allison nodded happily.

As she started to escort Maxine out, Chloe stomped over.

"You think just because Adrien said you're the new Cosette means that you're a huge break-out star? That Adrien has a crush on you?" Chloe scoffed. "Newsflash: he doesn't. I'm his girlfriend."

"The dude literally just assisted in kicking you out of the play, he totally wouldn't do that to his girlfriend." Nino said.

"Shut up."

"He just called Allison babe." Alya inputted, making Chloe snarl.

"I'm his girlfriend!" She hissed. "Now, Maxine, your role here doesn't change anything. You're just a loser who leeched onto Allison, who's leeching on Adrien. Adrien still doesn't like you, and nobody will!"

"I think that's enough, Bourgeois." Allison growled.

"What are you going to do about it?" Chloe challenged.

"Well, if you don't shut up in three seconds I will burn each and every designer bag you own."

Chloe glared at the girl and huffed, stomping away.

"Maxine-"

"I can bring myself to the dressing room, thanks Ally." Maxine muttered before walking past.

Allison looked over at Adrien, who frowned.


Allison sat at Adrien's director chair, reviewing the script before frowning.

"Why do we even have a script? This is a musical." Allison laughed.

Marinette shrugged.

Before the conversation could go on, the dressing room doors busted open.

Before them was Maxine, completely akumatized.

"That corset looks uncomfortable." Adrien whispered over to Allison who frowned.

"How many villains have we dealt with that are caused by Chloe?" Allison groaned back.

"Behold!" The villain said. "I am Cosette! From this day forth you will act like your characters, and I will forevermore rule over the entire Paris 1832!"

"She's turning us into Les Miserables." Adrien said in realization.

"Hey, as long as your Marius, I'm fine with it." Allison shrugged.

Adrien shot her a look. "You die."

"Oh, right."

Allison looked back at the villain who pointed at Kim.

Green lights traveled from her finger to Kim's chest.

Kim looked back at her.

Kim: Cosette, we're on the way to Paris!

Maxine just gave him a grin and sung back.

MH: Yes, father.

Maxine let out a small sigh.

"She literally turns everyone into Les Miserables characters?"

She faced Allison and Adrien.

"I need my Eponine and Marius!"

"Yeah, no." Allison rolled her eyes.

Adrien grasped her wrist and pulled her inside a dressing room and locking the door.

"Find an opening, I'll hold her off." Adrien commanded.

Adrien transformed just as Allison opened the back window.

Before Allison could say another word to Adrien, Cosette burst into the room.

"Where is Adrien?" She screeched. "Where's my Marius?"

Chat Noir narrowed his eyes at the blonde.

"Leave her alone."

"I need my Eponine." Maxine said, sizing Chat Noir up. "You make a fine Marius, though."

"What?" Chat inquired incerdulously.

Maxine pointed at him, but before the green lights can touch him, Allison jumped infront.

"Allison!" Chat screamed, turning her around.

AM: Pardon me, Monsieur. Have you seen Marius Pontmercy, Monsieur?

"Allison, I-"

AM: Pardon me, Monsieur. Who's Allison, Monsieur? My name is Eponine.

"No, you're Allison Martin!"

AM: Is she a victim of war, Monsieur? I apologize, Monsieur. I must be going, Monsieur. Marius to find, Monsieur.

"Wait!"

Allison shot him a small, apologetic smile.

AM: Thank you for your help, Monsieur. I hope you find your girl, Monsieur. Farewell and best wishes, I hope, to you and your lost love, Monsieur.

With a small bow, Allison marched away, singing for Marius.

Adrien can only stare at her as she slowly turned into a singing French girl from 1832.
