"Does this mean I can use Jay Song?" Jay Song is the second abilitypower of the blue jay miraculous. By singing, I am able to amplify either my own power or another's. I unlocked the power by mistake during our final battle against Grey. Everyone's miraculous recharged and powers were amplified. At the same time, I nearly passed out during the battle after using Jay Song. Chat Noir saved me, which allowed me to grab Grey's fauxed object/fake miraculous. After the battle, I detransformed, only for both me and Pixxy to pass out (afterwards). Lady Xi found us and took us to safety/back to her place. It wasn't until a few days later when Pixxy lead me to her antic shop that I sicovered who Lady Xi really was./p

After the battle with Grey, I met with the three other heroes and we decided to keep Jay Song a serect among us. Until we knew more about it, using it was off limits.

His voice was a mix between calm and frantic. Like he was trying to keep it together to share the needed information with me before full panic set in. "She's calling herself Patisseria!

Okay Marinette and Alya, so no one from out class, beside Aero. Aero showing up is strange, but Alya usually finds Calex when she needs more pictures for the Ladyblog and Blue Journal.

I'd found the perfect gift for Emi and managed to pick up Popp's books from the library. At least that's two things off my to-do list. Next is getting in contact with Liam. What was the interview about the other day? How was the news of Royal leaked? We don't even know what's fully going on. Liam only mentioned she wouldn't be working with Noble for the seeable future. That could mean she's supsented or fired from the group. If it's the latter, Ace is going to be making alot of appearaces./p

Will she return to the group? If so, than how soon? Or will Ace have to remain in the spot light?" I took a deep breath, than continued. "Blue Jay's been werid since M_'s attack as well. She hasn't been answering my emails nor speaking to me when we see each other. Some how I think she's keeping something from me. Either that or something bothering her."/p

Silent Wish was one of the first songs I wrote for Noble. When I oringally began working on it, my parents had be asking me when I'd return to acting and tensions between Knight adn Royal had started. I had to leave the song incomplete for several weeks/months, and refoucs my efforts on writing several more songs for Nobles' first abulm. After Nobles' first abulm was release and a hit, I resousred working on Silent Wish. Continuing from where I'd left off, I added happier music to show reflect how things work themselves out in the end. As good as the music is, I haven't been able to create lyrics that match./p

Lyla pulled out her cell and played Silent Wish. The familiar low strum of a gutair, followed the hollow pounding of drums. Three beats later, a bass brought the music together into one smooth following beat. "Only three instruments are used in the beginning. The gutair represents Knight, the one who is always there for his friends. Royal is like the drums, always making herself know, very loudly." She stopped the music to continue her explaintion. "Like the gutair and drums are constantly together, Knight and Royal are the faces of Noble. Together, they help to bring Ace's songs and music to life."/p

Yet, they've over come them to achieve the success they have now."/p

Noble has many fans, all who pay attention to the group's songs, interviews, and more. Knight and Royal have their own fans who support them. I've noticed that those who support Ace, mostly like the mystery that he is. Few things are known about Ace, making him a hot topic in interviews. Lyla's mentioned before Ace is her favorite member of Noble. She's the only person who isn't into Ace because of the mystery he presents, but because of the songs and music he creates./p

"Look." He gestured to my left, where gingerbread soldiers roamed the park. They broke formation to spread out in different directions. People in their path were ingorned. Two stopped in front of a forgotten picnic. One dumped the baskets' contents into the second one's backpack. The rest of the soldiers moved further into the park./p
