Please Review!

Finally! Some Proof!

Marinette's P.O.V

Sleepily, I trudged down the stairs to get breakfast before school. Shadowmoth akumatized five people and created two sentimonsters last night alone. Papa glanced at me, concern in his eyes.

"Marinette, are you okay?" Papa asked.

I nodded my head, "Yes Papa, I just didn't sleep well last night."

"Too tired to catch up with Tom?" I froze.

"What do you mean? Isn't he on tour?" I asked. It couldn't be true, could it?

Papa smiled, "Yes, but his band is performing at the Children of Heroes Foundation Fundraiser. That is this Saturday."

I squealed excitedly. Hugging Papa, I rushed out the door. Tj is back!

Lila's p.o.v

" Of course! We have known each other since preschool!" I gushed as I confirmed my latest tall tale. The Dreamers are one of the hottest boy bands right now, and they're coming to perform at some lame fundraiser. Since so little is known about the keyboardist, I decided to claim to know TJ DC.

Just then, Maribrat comes crashing through the door. "Sorry! I slept in… where's Ms. Bustier?"

Alya moved her bestie over, "Staff meeting. You'll never guess who Lila knows!"

Marinette raised an eyebrow. "What poor unfortunate soul is Lila lying about this time?"

I quickly started using my crocodile tears. "Marinette how can you say awful things like that? Besides, I really do know TJ DC of The Dreamers."

That should show her! All the class minus Adrien of course are now giving the laughing girl a confused look. Wait… this is not the normal Marinette is a bully response. What's going on here? Before I could ask, Ms. Bustier walked in.

"Sorry class, the meeting went a bit longer than normal… Marinette, what is so funny?" The teacher asked.

Marinette wiped her tears, carefully putting them in a bottle she always carries. "Sorry Ms. Bustier, I was thinking of what happened last time my older brother visited. You see he is visiting this weekend and I can't wait!"

Wait, that loser has a brother? Nevermind, I most likely won't meet him and if I do it will be fun to see his reaction that his lil sis is a bully…

Time skip to lunch Alya's p.o.v

Something's off. Usually when Lila hints that Marinette is not being the nicest the girl insists on defending herself. Today she just laughed and blamed her brother, whom I didn't even know about!

Deciding to get to the bottom of this new mystery, I went over to the cafeteria table that held my boyfriend… and Marinette's oldest friend.

"Hi Nino, can I ask an odd que…" I started to ask when,

"The Dupain-Chengs moved to Paris three years ago. They only had Marinette with them when they moved and they never mentioned other kids." Nino interrupted me.

I gaped at him for five seconds, then I snapped out of it, "Okay, do you know where she is? I don't see her."

Nino shrugged, "She told the art club that she is going to eat lunch with her family. Something about asking her brother for a favor?"

I frowned, I thought I knew Marinette but here she is surprising me every turn. What's going on here!? Oh well, I'll ask Lila to tell me more about her childhood friend TJ DC. Afterall, other than his name, the fact he is in his early twenties, and he plays keyboard for the Dreamers nothing is really known… wait a minute! How can Lila go to preschool with TJ, she would've been a newborn!

I need to do some serious research on one Lila Rossi.

Lila's p.o.v Time to final hour

I decided that Marinette must have made up her so-called brother. Nobody ever met nor heard of him before today. Oh well, I'll figure out what's so funny later. I continued telling fake stories about TJ and I growing up together, the idiots eating it all up like candy. Well, not Alya this time. She talked to Nino and then has been on her phone ever since. Nothing I say seems to get her away from it.

Rest of school was boring. We were doing our History Readings when a tall woman with dark blonde hair pulled up into a messy bun and crystal blue eyes wearing a dark navy blue business suit walked in. She marched up to Ms. Bustier and handed her a thick envelope.

"Here are your classes tickets to The Dreamers performance miss." The woman spoke briskly, already turning to leave.

Ms. Bustier panicked, "Wait! What tickets? Who are you?"

The woman smirked, "I'm The Dreamers agent, Ms. Sorella. An anonymous person paid sixty hundred dollars for your class to come to the fundraiser to watch The Dreamers perform. I am delivering them. Now excuse me but I need to be there for my clients."

With that said, Ms. Sorella briskly walked out the door. Immediately chaos erupted as my classmates spoke over each other.

"ENOUGH! I'll pass out the tickets after school lets out. Yes Marinette?" Ms. Bustier spoke, trying to get us back to the lesson.

Sure enough Maribrat had her hand raised, "You can have my ticket, I'm spending ALL of Saturday with my brother, we have something epic planned."

Ms. Bustier nodded, "Okay Marinette, thank you for sharing, Now where were we ?"

With that the lesson started to drag. Hmm, maybe I can claim that I bought the tickets? No, wait I told them for the past month I don't have money so they'll spend theirs on me… I could claim I wasn't spending any money because I was saving up for the tickets, and lied about it because I wanted to surprise them. Hmm, that will work.

Just then the bell rang, as I stood up I noticed that Marinette ran out the door leaving her class notes. Uh, what is going on with her today. Before I could 'volunteer' to take Marinette's notes Alya grabbed them saying something about needing to talk to Marinette anyway. As everyone left the classroom Ms. Bustier handed us our tickets.

I could still go… it's not like any of us can really talk to TJ.

TIME SKIP TO CONCERT….

The amphitheater that was hosting the fundraiser was lined with various food and merc stands. There were millions of balloons and streamers hanging everywhere, people were dancing to the beat or enjoying food. I quickly found most of my followers. Adrien was looking at ladybug merchandise with his bodyguard and no one has seen Alya since school let out yesterday. A group of kids bumped me, spilling a bright red cherry slushy all over my front. Seeing an opportunity to discredit Marinette, I approached our classmates.

"Heeey guys!" I cheerily greeted them all the while plastering on a fake smile.

Nino grinned, "Hey dudette! Excited to see your old friend perform?"

"You got old right, friend not so much." Startled, I turned around to see Alya standing behind me, her phone in hand.

I gave her my best 'innocent' smile, "Why Alya! I don't know what Marinette said this time but I assure you I really do…"

"...Not know TJ DC. Before you try your tricks I interviewed him last night, and this morning. No surprise a twenty four year old didn't recognise the name of a fifteen year old. His sister on the other hand had some interesting things to say about a certain bully at her school." Alya interrupted me.

I fumed over the fact that Alya somehow landed two interviews with TJ DC and one of them was with his sister… Wait, what does my lie about him have to do with school bullies?

I was about to ask Alya when the announcer announced that The Dreamers will be performing next. Plastering on my 'innocent bystander' smile, I moved closer to the stage with what's left of my followers. I can deal with Alya later, maybe tell my classmates they misheard and it was TJ's sister I went to preschool with since that nosy reporter wannabe actually looked up the dude's age.

Before the boy band could perform, TJ, who has curly dark brown hair and green eyes and light brown skin, walked over and whispered something in Canante's ear. Canante was a large built hispanic man with soft blue eyes that was The Dreamers lead singer. Canante gasped before handing the mike to the handsome keyboardist.

TJ then spoke into the mike… "Testing one two three, can you hear me?" TJ waited for the loud excited cheers to go down before continuing, "Okay by a show of hands how many here goes to Francois Dupont College? How many works there?" Dread pooled into my stomach as we all raised our hands… "I'm presuming you all know Lila Rossi. How I know that girl is through my sister who can't lie to save her life, and Mari told me Lila can't tell the truth to save hers. Did you know Lila threatened my sister in a public bathroom? Lies hurt those involved and those that believe them. I got to the top with my own hard work, I suggest you do the same because the more handouts someone offers, the more likely it's fake. Who's ready to ROCK OUT!" With that said he returned the mike to Canante and the band started to play "Shake Things Up"*.

I slowly turned to face my followers who are now surrounding Alya. I glared at her. "My plan would've worked perfectly if you didn't land so many interviews!"

"Actually it might've worked if I wasn't in the picture." I spun around to see Marinette standing behind me wearing a backstage pass. How in the world did that goody two shoes get one of those!?

Marinette smirked in an eerily similar way to Ladybug, "You said you knew TJ. That was your mistake. Alya only found out because she brought my class notes to me. I donated sixty hundred dollars* to the fundraiser to purchase the class tickets, you can ask Ms. Sorella, she's our Auntie Lya*. When Alya showed up with my notes she met TJ since he was sitting in our living room. Another thing, I'm little Mari."

I glared at the oh-so-clever girl, "Yea right, you look nothing like TJ, besides his last name is DC!"

"Actually DC isn't his last name, it's short for Dupain Cheng." A new voice spoke up behind me. Whirling around I see Ms. Sorella standing behind me. What is up with people and sneaking up on me today!?

Then it occurred to me what both Ms. Sorella and Marinette said. "But TJ looks nothing like Marinette!"

Ms. Sorella sniffed has she steers Marinette away, "That is because they both take after their mothers*."

The crowd swallowed the too up when Ms. Bustier and my MOTHER walked up to me. "Lila, we need to talk."

Lila was sent to a boarding school for troubled teens and the Akuma Class became friends with Marinette again. Let's say from then on whenever someone tells a story about celebrities or disabilities, the class googles the truth.

"Shake Things Up" is an EQG Music Video.

Auntie Lya Sorella, like the band, is made up. She is what I picture any sister of Tom Dupain to be like. In fact her last name means sister!

I have a headcanon that the Dupain-Chengs are secretly billionaires so Marinette can afford sixty hundred dollars on tickets.

Not really a headcanon, but I can see Tom and Sabine having other kids. Mostly from past relationships. For this story, Tom was married before he met Sabine but his first wife died when their son was still a baby. TJ asked Tom if he could add Cheng to his last name too when Marinette was born.
