A/N: Hey my little kittens,

Sorry it's been so long since I've written a chapter or a fanfiction in general. I've been ultra busy. May is normally like that for me. Last month of school before summer, band stuff, english honors, finals, yeah, all of the fun stuff. So, this is the final chapter of The Band Competition. I recently had some inspiration from my own experience of Music in the Parks last weekend, so without further ado. I give you… the ending.

Marinette followed Mrs. Agreste to the desk of the secretary and told the nice lady the license plate number. When she finished, she walked back to Adrien and curled up against his side. Before she knew it, she was asleep. When she woke up, she was in a room that she didn't recognize. She saw the door open and jumped out of bed, ready to pounce on the person who dared to kidnap her again and Adrien walked in.

"Woah," he said with his arms up in surrender. "What did I do?"

Marinette laughed and stepped back into the bed. "I thought I had been kidnapped again, or worse, all of last night had been a dream."

Adrien walked over to the bed, curled up beside her, and pulled her into his arms. She felt safe up against his warm chest. Like nobody could take her away, no matter how hard they tried. Adrien pulled the blankets over them and she fell asleep to the rhythm of his heart and breath. When she woke up again, Adrien was still there and the sun was high in the sky, just then she realized something.

"Adrien?" she said as she nudged him awake.

"Mm?" he said sleepily.

"What was the score for Music in the Parks?"

Adrien laughed and kissed her forehead. "They found out what happened and put off the fun and ceremony for tomorrow."

Marinette sighed and relaxed against his shoulder. "That's a relief"

Adrien just laughed and hugged her close. Then, he began to hum, as instrumentalists do. It wasn't until he reached the melody that she realized that he was humming the song that brought them together in the first place. She began to hum with him and suddenly the room was filled with light and song. When they finished, the two glanced at each other and giggled.

"Race you to the music room" Adrien said as he pulled back the covers and jumped out of the bed.

"I don't even know where that is," Marinette stated as she followed suit. "You'll win,"

"Uh huh," said Adrien and he began to run.

When they reached the music room, Marinette let out a gasp.

"This is where you practice?" sh asked, mystified.

"Nope, just where I have lessons. I much rather practice on my balcony in my room. There's more privacy in there, plus I was able to hear you. If I had practiced in here, I wouldn't have joined in your song, and then wouldn't have met you."

Marinette blushed and spotted her flute on a nearby table. She walked over to it and picked it up. It wasn't scratched or broken, but it was out of tune. Once she tuned it, she glanced at Adrien who had his cello out and was doing the same.

"What song are you thinking about playing?" Adrien asked.

"Improve?"

Adrien smiled. "Sounds good,"

And the two played together for the rest of the day.

The next day, Marinette awoke in the same bed she awoke in the day before, only this time she knew where she was. In Adrien's house. She got out of bed and put on her shorts and t-shirt, grabbed some money, then went downstairs for breakfast. Adrien was already there.

"Hey," Adrien greeted when Marinette walked in. "You ready?"

Marinette giggled. "Yes!" She gobbled down her food, then basically hauled Adrien out of the house and to the school, where the school bus was waiting to take them to Elitch Gardens. They hopped on the bus and Plagg handed them both a ticket and a meal ticket. When they arrived, the two were first in line.

"I bet I can beat you at Ghost Blasters" Marinette challenged.

"Oh, you are so on," Adrien countered.

They made their way through the line and quickly moved to the back of the park where Ghost Blasters was located. There was a small line, but it was moving quickly and soon they were in the carriage, holding their blasters. When they exited the ride, Marinette had one with a score of 1,700 points. She was labeled as a Master Blaster.

Adrien laughed as she rubbed it in his face, then suggested a game of Water Shooting, she agreed and Adrien won a purple teddy bear.

"It reminds me of the bear from Toy Story 3," Adrien said as he held it in front of him.

"It sort of does," Marinette agreed.

They started off towards the Ferris Wheel as they continued the conversation.

"Uh, what was his name?" Adrien asked.

"I believe it was Mr...something"

"Mr. Fuzz?"

"Mr. Fuzzle Wuzlle!"

Adrien grinned from ear to ear, then looked at the bear. "I'm not sure that was his name, but I think it's stuck now."

"Okay, Mr. Fuzzle Wuzzle it is,"

They walked closer to the Ferris Wheel and Marinette spotted a familiar face.

"Alya!" she waved.

"Marinette! Come stand in line with us," Alya shouted.

Marinette smiled and dragged Adrien to the line, only to discover Nino.

"Nino!" Adrien yelped as he clasped his best friend's shoulder.

"Hey man," Nino replied cheerfully.

Marinette and Alya stood in line together as Nino and Adrien talked about the kidnapping that happened to Marinette, then Nino spotted the bear.

"Dude, that is the ugliest bear I have ever seen," he stated.

Adrien held the bear like a baby being burped and held it close.

"Don't say that in front of our son,"

Marinette put her hand against her head and shook her head,. "Oh, Adrien. What have you done?"

"We leave you alone for four hours and you come back with a child?" Nino asked.

"Bro, that is so not cool. When were you planning on telling me I was an aunt?" Alya asked as she placed an arm around Marinette's shoulder.

Marinette glared at Adrien. "You did this. Now they aren't going to let it go."

Nino and Alya shared a glance. "Nope"

"By the way," Adrien said as he handed the bear to Marinette. "It's your turn to hold him,"

Marinette took the bear and glared at her best friend as she and Nino talked about how the two were bonding. For the rest of the day, Nino and Alya wouldn't stop talking about it.

Finally, the end of the day came and it was time to get to the stands in order to see who won. First up was all of the middle school bands and choirs who won, then it moved to the high schools. Marinette held her breath as the first place award for concert band was announced.

"And first place, with an excellent rating goes to... College Francoise Dupont" her entire school cheered as the senior that was selected went up and picked up the trophy, then Mr. Plagg took a picture. Jazz band, Choir and Jazz Choir was next, then the solos and duets were taken in for account.

"Best solo act," began the announcer "goes too…" he paused for effect and Marinette held her breath. "Marinette Dupain-Cheng!"

Marinette felt shock over take her, then felt Alya pushing her up, so she stood up and took the award from the announcer. It was awesome.

Next was the duets and there was third and second places first. None of her school got one, which rewarded Marinette with a huff from Chloe, then first place was announce.

"Will Marinette Dupain-Cheng and Adrien Agreste come up here please?" the announcer asked.

Marinette stood up, as did Adrien and they walked together to the announcer. He smiled at them, then put the mic to his lips.

"To those of you who don't know, Marinette was kidnapped two days ago at the school. Thanks to this brave young man, Marinette is here with us today." the audience clapped, then settled down. "For their courage, I would like to award them, the award of bravery, Then, I'm going to tell you who won first place for the duets. You two, please stay."

Marinette felt Adrien's hand slip into hers and she squeezed it, which he quickly returned. Then, she felt the weight of a medal around her neck and saw the award of bravery resting on her chest. When the announcer was done, the audience burst into applause once more. When they quieted, the announcer spoke. "The winner of the duet is…Marinette and Adrien. These two composed their own music, played it, and saved the day in one week. I believe the judges were indeed happy with these two."

The announcer shook their hands, then smiled for a newspaper camera. Then the swarms came. Marinette and Adrien were almost swallowed whole by the crowd who wanted more information on the kidnapping, but all Marinette wanted to do was go home. So, she grabbed Adrien's hand and pushed to the bleachers where her stuff was located, turned around, then pushed through the crowd to the door and exited. She the walked to the bus, got in and sat down with her head leaning on Adrien's chest. She was done for the day, time for sleep. And sleep she did.
