Adrien paused the remote and looked at Plagg. "See, that's the face I make when I'm practicing the
piano, and you interrupt me to go buy cheese."
Adrien was referring to the character of Shroder on A Charlie Brown Christmas. Plagg rolled his eyes as he ate through a large hunk of cheddar. "Puh-lease, if Ladybug came through the window while you were practicing, you wouldn't shoo her away!"
Adrien leaped up at the mention of his partner. "Ladybug's here?" he asked, smoothing down his golden hair. "No, but if you want Ladybug to be impressed when you play your piece at the Christmas concert, you'd better tickle those ivories."
Adrien sighed,knowing Plagg was right. Besides,if he didn't his Father would. Adrien found when he got lost in the music it was rather calming,and went into a dreamlike trance.
Out of the corner of his eye,he saw Plagg freeze."Kid!Kid!"Plagg hissed,but Adrien was studiously ignoring him. After all,wasn't Plagg that had told him to practice?But he had heard a soft sound,and when Adrien looked up,he hit a very sour note for Ladybug was standing on the other side of the piano.
"La-La-La-"Adrien croaked,not able to get her name past his lips. Ladybug laughed,as sliver bell."La,La,La,"she grinned,"Sounds like a song."
Oh,sugar and cookies,this was so embarrassing!"Its sounds great,"Ladybug said,"I was passing by to say hi,and I heard you playing. Please,continue."
She sat down on the white couch,hands clasped in her lap,and Adrien visibly swallowed. But he did want to impress her,so Adrien cleared his mind,and played beautifully.
When the last notes had died away,Adrien looked up at her shyly."That was beautiful,"she whispered. Adrien scooted over on the bench. "That piece is Beethoven for the Christmas concert, but would you like to learn a few cords?"
Ladybug nodded shyly,joining Adrien. For the rest of the afternoon,Adrien's heart sang with music,and the sweet voice of his beloved Bugaboo.
