A/N: First off kudos to Navirina for being the first to comment! So I don't have an updating schedule so I may or may not be updating frequently.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Miraculous!
"Marinette!" Tikki exclaimed, jarring the bluenette. "Focus, or you'll never finish your homework."
"Sorry Tikki, I just keep thinking about the talent show."
Tikki flew closer. "Maybe that's your heart telling you to join."
"I don't know, I can't do anything on a stage, much less with Adrien in the audience. Besides what would I do?"
"You have plenty of talents."
"Like what?"
Tikki flew around enthusiastically. "You have a great fashion sense, you have a kind heart, and your an amazing Ladybug!"
"But it's not like I can perform any of those," Marinette sighed.
"Well, I'm sure you'll come up with something," Tikki encouraged.
"I hope so."
~O~O~O~
Marinette stood on her balcony brushing her hair and watching the sunset. Feeling the rhythmic swish of the brush she started to hum. It was the song Jagged Stone wrote for Ladybug. She listened to it often, after all he wrote it for her. Slowly she began to sway to the beat. She watched the stars come out and after taking a look around she began to sing.
"I live a life that's full of fun, it keeps me sharp, and on the run.
When evil comes I find a way, to use my force and save the day."
Her voice wobbled at first and then grew stronger. Singing was an outlet she didn't use much, she preferred to draw or write in her journal, it was different to sing, but right now that's what she needed. She needed to tell the silent stars and the rising full moon her story, to sing about her frustrations and trials; her friendships and joys for the whole sky to hear. She took a deep breath and started singing again.
"Oh, Oh, Oh,
Life's got me spinning 'round,
Oh, Oh, Oh,
My feet are off the ground,
Oh, Oh, Oh,
And when the sun goes down,
That's when I become:
"Miraculous!
Simply the best!
Up to the test when thing go wrong!
Miraculous!
The luckiest!
The power of love always so strong!"
The night grew colder as the sun became a sliver on the horizon. The moon cast an enchanting glow and the stars glimmered like dewdrops. Marinette didn't even feel the cold. Her loose hair twirled across her face and closed eyes as she spun around her potted plants with the speed and grace only matched by Ladybug. Her arms were spread wide, the moon giving her an otherworldly look. But Marinette was completely immersed in the song. Each word came from her heart and sounded natural and rolled of her tongue.
"Another day, I'm back at school,
I think about him, he's so cool,
He looks at me, I look away,
But does he see me anyway?
"Oh, Oh, Oh,
My world is spinning 'round,
Oh, Oh, Oh,
My feet are off the ground,
Oh, Oh, Oh,
And when the moon is out,
you better hang around:
"I'm Ladybug!
I'm standing up!
I will fight what I know is wrong!
I'm Ladybug!
A lucky charm!
Listen now this is my song!"
"Miraculous!
Simply the best!
Up to the test when thing go wrong!
Miraculous!
The luckiest!
The power of love always so strong!"
"Miraculous!"
Marinette stopped, breathing heavily. Blinking in the light from the moon. She was calm now. The single moment was stretched into an eternity. She wished she could stay here forever with the pale moon and bright stars, to evermore stand on the cold tiling of her balcony without a care in the world.
Suddenly she felt a gentle tap on her shoulder. Turning her head she saw a wide-eyed Tikki.
"I think you've found your talent," Tikki whispered.
Marinette nodded absently.
Seeing this Tikki gave her a small hug. "But you better get to bed first."
This time Marinette afforded a small smile as she followed Tikki down the trapdoor. Two minutes later, Marinette was fast asleep.
A/N: I hope you had as much fun reading this as I had making it!
