You're The Music That's Been Playing In My Head: Book 2

Frightingale: Part 2

Clara makes her way over when suddenly she trips over her own feet and tumbles to the ground, the snacks flying everywhere. Quickly, Marinette and I step out of line to help, Marinette helping her off the ground while I pick up the snacks; both of us ask her if she's okay. 

"There you both are! Here's a hug because you're (s/n) and Ladybug!" Clara exclaims excitedly, pulling us both in for a hug, and we quickly deny it as panic starts to take over. 

"What? No! We have no idea what you're talking about!" 

"What gives you that idea?" We blurt out, and she pulls us to our feet and starts dancing with us.

"You did what they would have, just the same, your hearts are pure like theirs, what're your names?" 

"M-Marinette." 

"I'm (y-y/n)," We both stutter out as Clara gets down on one knee.

"Marinette and (y/n), won't you say it so? Will you please play Ladybug and (s/n) in my video?" 

The girls cheer for us, telling us to do it, and even Luka was giving us an encouraging nod. Mari looks over at Adrien, who is smiling at her, and I see her slip into daydream mode. I quickly jab her with my elbow and shake my head subtly. As much as I would love to play myself for the video, it was still a big risk, even if there was magic preventing people from figuring out our identities. It was better safe than sorry. 

"I'm sorry, Miss. Nightengale, it's very sweet of you to ask, and we're huge fans, but..." I start to say when Mari finishes my thought.

"We came here to be extras with our friends, and we'd like to stay with them." 

Clara gives us an understanding smile and leads us to a trailer stating, "That's a pity, a shame...But I understand it's true. That's a very cool gesture, very hero-like of you two. Just sit over here for make-up, ok? I'll ask your friends to be sent over right away." 

We thank her as she goes to collect our friends. 

"Good job not giving in to the temptation," Tikki compliments before ducking back into Marinette's purse as the girls come rushing up for a group hug, calling us crazy.

"Such a shame, I think you would've looked good in an (s/n) costume," Luka flirts with me, sending a wink my way, causing me to blush for the billionth time in front of him as I stutter.

"Well, um...It's just s-some silly uh...Costume..." 

"Doesn't change the fact you'd rock that silly costume." 

I kiss my teeth while jokingly glaring at him.

Dang boy and his smooth moves. 

"Thank you all for coming, you can go home now," We suddenly hear Chloé as she comes in, clapping with Sabrina at her heels. 

"Uh oh, brat alert in the immediate vicinity," Alya grumbles as we stare Chloé down. 

She was obviously here for the Ladybug role because she was wearing a Ladybug costume with a wig. Sabrina was dressed the same but in an (s/n) costume and wig. 

"Don't worry, knowing Nightengale, Chloé, and Sabrina don't stand a chance of being chosen," Marinette reassures us, and I can't help but raise an eyebrow and smirk as I sarcastically respond.

"Wow, I have to bow before such wisdom," I take a mock bow.

"That's right, from now on, it's Master Dupain-Cheng." 

We all laugh before tuning back in to what was happening on stage. Which leads to Chloé and Sabrina's audition. Everyone watches in awe as the two perform gymnastics, separately and together.
