I'm Alive! Sorry everyone for being so absent recently, and thank you for sticking by me and this story. It means the world to me and i hope that this chapter is well worth the wait.
"Welcome All Star Academy, to this year's Winter Dance!" Nino the DJ says into his mic before putting on the fist song of the night. Alya standing next to him gives a thumbs up to Marinette. The ladybug is standing amongst the rest of the school looking as awkward as humanly possible. Luckily for her Courtney isn't singing just yet and is able to stick with her for the time being.
"Come on Mari! Lets dance!" She shouts enthusiastically.
"I don't dance, you know that." Marinette tells her less enthusiastic then her friend.
"I don't have long before I have to sing, so you can now."
"But... Never mind." Marinette goes to argue but decides its not worth it. She wasn't going to win this one anyway.
Several songs go by with teens yelling and screaming at each other before Courtney has to go up on stage to sing the slower songs for the actual dances. Marinette takes this opportunity to escape the dance floor and sit on the sidelines.
She was quite content to sit there listening to Courtney sing 'All of me' by John legend.
'Thinking out loud' by Ed Sheeran was being sung when that peace was interrupted by a young cat dropping by to see her.
'When your legs don't work like they used to before
And I can't sweep you off of your feet'
"A young ladybug such as yourself should not be sitting down during such lovely songs." He says to her.
Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love
Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks
"I'm not much of a dancer." She admits.
And darling I will be loving you 'til we're 70
And baby my heart could still fall as hard at 23
And I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
"I'll teach you." The black cat says grabbing her hand.
Maybe just the touch of a hand
"Its easy, I'll lead and you follow."
Oh me I fall in love with you every single day
Marinette looks at him in surprise before questioning him.
And I just wanna tell you I am
"Why me?"
So honey now
Take me into your loving arms
"Because M'lady, your worth it." he says simply
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
He starts singing along, harmonising with Courtney's vocals.
Place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud
Maybe we found love right where we are
"Grab my hand and put your other hand on my shoulder." He instructs moving her hands to those places.
When my hair's all but gone and my memory fades
He slowly leads her in the dance
And the crowds don't remember my name
"Whats your name?" Marinette asks
When my hands don't play the strings the same way, mm
I know you will still love me the same
"Chat Noir" causing her to giggle softly
'Cause honey your soul can never grow old, it's evergreen
Baby your smile's forever in my mind and memory
"Your real name, kitty."
I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe it's all part of a plan
"Chat Noir, is my name. " He says smiling at her softly
I'll just keep on making the same mistakes
Hoping that you'll understand
"What's yours?" Chat Noir asks sneakily
But baby now
Take me into your loving arms
"Ladybug" she smiles
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud
"Very Well M'ladybug, care to dance?"
That maybe we found love right where we are, oh
So baby now
Take me into your loving arms
She giggled again lighting up his face again, "Isn't that what we're doing?"
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Oh darling, place your head on my beating heart
"So we are." He smiles as she lays her head on his shoulder.
I'm thinking out loud
That maybe we found love right where we are
Oh maybe we found love right where we are
And we found love right where we are
The next song starts and Alya and Nino join the crowd in the dance, slipping into the crowd near Marinette and her Cat.
The beginning of the new song (Tightrope from The Greatest Showman) starts and Chat Noir changes their positioning and the style of dance. Its quicker and more adventurous.
Some people long for a life that is simple and planned
Chat Noir leads Marinette spinning around the room.
Tied with a ribbon
Some people won't sail the sea 'cause they're safer on land
People start taking notices of the couple and clears the dance floor much more interested in watching them.
To follow what's written
But I'd follow you to the great unknown
Off to a world we call our own
The pace starts to quicken and Marinette relaxes and lets Chat Noir sweep her off her feet.
Hand in my hand and we promised to never let go
We're walking the tightrope
High in the sky
He lifts her up into the air holding her by the waist.
We can see the whole world down below
He brings her back down and leads her again around the room her head leaning back while they glide across the floor.
We're walking the tightrope
Never sure, never know how far we could fall
He brings her into a dip before continuing the dance.
But it's all an adventure
That comes with a breathtaking view
Walking the tightrope
With you, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Neither teen notice the entire room watching them.
With you, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Both too enriched in the dance to care.
With you
He smiles at her. Love written all over his face.
Mountains and valleys, and all that will come in between
Desert and ocean
You pulled me in and together we're lost in a dream
Blue eyes locked on green.
Always in motion
So I risk it all just to be with you
And I risk it all for this life we choose
All their worries washed away with the words of the song.
Hand in my hand and you promised to never let go
We're walking the tightrope
High in the sky
He lifts her up again letting her feel the air in her face before bringing her back down.
We can see the whole world down below
Chat Noir now taking emphasis on the beats within the music while they dance.
We're walking the tightrope
Never sure, will you catch me if I should fall?
He spins her around before bringing her back to him with the music leading his actions.
Well, it's all an adventure
The two of them dance together softy and more intimate.
That comes with a breathtaking view
Walking the tightrope
With you, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
With you, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Picking up more speed and spinning Ladybug around the dance floor.
With you
With you, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Both to come back together for the soft end of the song.
With you, ooh-ooh-ooh
With you
The audience around them erupts with applause and several whistles.
Blue eyes stare into green as they get closer to her face. Her eyes close as soft lips meet hers. It was a sweet kiss that she was left wanting more when he broke it.
The moment was perfect and Marinette watched as Chat Noir bows down and kisses her hand before slipping into the crowd.
"OH MY GOSH! GIRL WHAT THE HELL? YOU TOLD ME YOU DON'T DANCE!" Courtney and Alya come barreling towards her while Nino resumes being DJ.
"I don't!" Marinette exclaims.
Alya gave her a doubtful look before answering "Then what the hell was that?"
"It was nothing Alya, I don't even know who he is, so it doesn't matter anyways." Marinette said shrugging her shoulders.
"I ain't a reporter for nothing girl, we will find your Chat Noir." Alya told her.
I don't know about you guys, but i tend to listen (or sing) the songs as i read this chapter.
Also, I've been watching SYTYCD rescently and have been inspired while writing the dances in this chapter. Well that and my prior dance experience ;)
