First week of Doomed Production
Rehearsal 1
Adrien wasn't surprised when Marinette proved she was badass enough to play Ladybug.
He saw she hesitantly stepped down a few moves, careful to not connect to her other activities. She still proved to break out of headlocks with ease, and could knock him to the floor with a leg wrapped around his knee.
But he was quite badass too. His excuse? Fencing, man.
He watched as she gulped down some water, dressed in a light brown tank top with a pocket in the corner, and some gray leggings with some red flats, and her hair pulled in a pony tail.
He just than noticed she was growing her hair out, the length reaching past her shoulders. He smacked himself for not noticing it earlier, because he should have seen it on Ladybug as well. He walked over towards his own water bottle, taking a few sips.
"Hello, my dear followers!", Ayla's voice cut through the crowd, her phone raised in the air. "This is your favorite host, with the first week of production of The stories of Ladybug and Cat Noir!", She panned the camera towards them.
"-with these lovebirds as our favorite couple!"
"Ayla!" Marinette yelled out in protest, and Adrien hid a light smirk at the blush dusting her cheeks.
"Meeting, my dears!", The teacher's voice cut through the auditorium along with a large clap. The other actors looked from their mats, joining in a large circle near the stage. He sat on the stage, helping Marinette on the stage also.
"Welcome my dears!", She smiled at the class, holding a binder to her chest. "We will be practicing the first scene. This is our setting."
The curtain rose up, revealing two platforms; one the stage, and the other about 7 feet above. "Now, in this opening act, Ladybug is watching Lady Wifi, played by Sabrina, on the upper platform.", She pointed at said platform.
"Where Chat Noir joins, and Ladybug flicks his head for being late", She looks down on the lines. "Marinette, Adrien. Go backstage and get ready. Sabrina on the stage."
She motioned them towards the stage, where the two (secret) superheroes as they disappeared under the curtain.
Marinette pulled out the script, climbing up the ladder to the platform. She looked on the first line.
Curtains Open. To Ladybug [Cheng] (kneeling) above Lady Wifi [Rogers] (Pacing)
She knelled as instructed, waiting for Sabrina to speak, still blushing mildly.
Sabrina started pacing, "Master, Ladybug and Chat Noir's identities are almost mine. I shall have their them soon", She looked down at her script, placing an finger to her ear to pretend a communicator was in her ear.
Adrien appeared next to her, and she quickly hid her surprise. She adjusted the script behind her, calling upon some Ladybug confidence, flicking his head and she gulped.
Perhaps, It was his modeling or just he was perfect, but he winced in sync perfectly.
"You're late", She whispered horsealy, Sabrina pretended not to hear, almost turning. She motioned with her head to continue.
Sabrina took out an prop smartphone, clicking a few pretend buttons on the screen.
"What the plan's, Milady?", Adrien smirked, in a true Chat Noir fashion that caused her eyes to widen; her shy walls flattened, and her ladybug personality peeked through her blushing mess.
"The usual.", She placed one hand on the railing, leaning forward, one hand clutching the script.
He looked at his script.
Chat Noir (Kisses her hand)
He smirked, leaning forward to brush his lips on her hand. He just ghosted his lips on the skin before-
"Cut!"
"Good Job, Actors", The teacher clapped, along with a smirking Ayla and Nino at her side. "Get ready to leave, Rehearsal is done. See you next week."
She smiled as the kid's started to depart, Adrien turning down to the ladder.
She followed nervously, until Adrien turned, bag slung over his shoulder. She picked up her own bag, dusting hair past her shoulder.
"Nice Job", He placed a hand on her shoulder, "You did-"
"THAT WAS SICK!"
They turned to see Nino and Ayla running towards them, "You guys were awesome!",Nino gushed, "The real LB and CN would be proud of you're acting!"
Marinette blushed, hiding her face under her bangs. Adrien tried to shuffle a laugh, but managed an grin.
"They probably would", He agreed, grinning secretly to himself. Oh the irony.
"Marinette-", He refocused on his lady, "I can't wait to work with you more. And-", He paused, leaning down and pressing his lips on her cheek, "You're hair looks nice down, by the way."
He walked forward, giving her one last wink to her red face. "See you next rehearsal, Ladybug."
