A New Measure

The new Orchestra and the baker's daughter.

It was the 1st day the Orchestra had gathered with the new pieces and people. Adrien recognized a few people from prior groups but other than that nobody else caught his eye. Until she walked up to him.  "Excuse me..." The woman said grabbing Adrien's attention. She was daringly beautiful. She had long silky-looking black hair that shined a midnight blue. Her Bluebell eyes were warm and friendly. She wore black jeans with a white shirt and a gray cardigan. She didn't stand out but once she caught your eye, you couldn't lose her.

"How may I help you?" Adrien asked her eagerly.

"I'm having problems with a song and I was hoping you can help me with it." The woman said.

"Sure!" Adrien answered enthusiastically "What measures and what piece"

"Measure 88 to the end and the last piece we played." The woman said gratefully, that he was willing to help. As she started to play he noticed people started to gather around. And for good reason. He and this woman sounded amazing together. Her techniques and style, filled in where his lack and vice-versa. When they finished she stood up and reached into her case for something. She grabbed it and put it on the piano. It was a macaroon. "Thank you for helping me." the woman exclaim, "I really needed it. My name is Marinette."

"It's no problem really Marinette, you sounded amazing and I'm Adrien," Adrien said

"Well thank you, Adrien, I'll see you next time," Marinette said 

"Okay Marinette, see you!" Adrien said, "OH WAIT." she turned to look at him. "Where did you get this?" He pointed at the macaroon. 

"Oh.." Marinette said, "From my parents' bakery, I helped them make them." With that, she turned around and walked out the door.

....

The next day Marinette decided she would head to Orchestra practice early to practice some more. Much to her surprise when she approached the door she already heard someone practicing inside. She opened the door quietly as she listened to him playing on the piano. She tried to close the door silently but it decided to have other plans. The door made a clunk sound, then a clink sound, then a su-lunk sound when it finally latched close. She winced at the sounds the door made then the silence that followed as the pianist decided to investgaite. "Hello?" She recognized that voice. His name was Adam? No, Alex? No, Aaron? No... what was it.  She was deep in thought when he called out her name. "Hey Marinette, It's me, Adrien."

"Oh, Hi Adrien.." Marinette said. "I didn't know you'd be here so I came early to practice" Adrien always came early. He had an awkward amount of time between his private lessons and Orchestra rehearsal so he just spent it here. He honestly admired that she wanted to come in early to practice even though she sounded amazing. "Well since your already here, Can you help me practice?"

"Sure, I have nothing else to do," Adrien said nonchalantly, " What piece and measure?"

"Um.." Marinette said "Kaiser Waltz and from the beginng."

"Ok then," Adrien said and they started playing. Adrien hoped this would be a great start to a wonderful friendship.
