Hello, so I wrote this faster than I thought.... So I give you Captain Hardrock. Also Liberty doesn't have a Crows nest, but lets imagine it does, cause it plays a part in the story. And my new favorite chapter.

"Oops! Sorry Mylène. My bad!" Marinette apologized as she picked up a box with various items and walked around the ship, bumping and helping everyone. "I think this is yours, Rose," Marinette tells Rose as she hands her the microphone she has just picked up. 

"Thanks, Marinette! Do you realize? It's our very first concert! It's going to be awesome." Rose told Marinette as she talked into the mic.

Marinette walked over to Alya sadly, "He's not here yet." Marinette whined to her friend, "No worries, girl. The gig hasn't started yet." Alya told her friend. 

"What if he doesn't know Juleka's address? Or he got the wrong day? Or he's lost? Could you check with Nino, please? You know, of course, just... casually." Marinette asked, and Alya smirked. "Hey, Nino, did you hear from Adrien, by any chance?" Alya asked her boyfriend who was putting the speakers up. 

"He told me he has a bet to win with his dad. Then he will come after." Nino answered, looking down; the girls giggled.

"Captain Anarka speaking to ya'! So how's it comin' along me, young pirates? Ready to celebrate the...Whatcha up to, there, matey?" Anarka introduced herself, but then she noticed that Marinette had a box filled with stuff.

"Uh, hello, ma'am. I'm cleaning up for tonight! Your boat's gonna be clean as a whistle!" Marinette explained that Anarka had taken the box from Marinette. "You're cleaning? We never pick up in this house! Didn't my daughter tell you? We like the lived-in look. We have no rules on The Liberty! Out of chaos comes creation! Messiness is life!" Araka explained as she dumped the stuff Marinette had collected.

Adrien and I had made a deal with our father, and now it was time. I had asked Natalie to keep my father out of Adriend's room, "You nervous?" Adrien asked me, and I nodded. "Of course I am. We did all we could, so just don't mess up." Adrien gave me a smirk, "What about a wager?" I raised an eyebrow, 

"What kind?" "Well, I don't think I will make it, and you think we both will." I laughed. "Of course, I think you will make it. We practiced. So, If I'm right, you must...clean my kwamies' room." I also reminded myself that I had to clean it after Plagg stayed over, and I couldn't get the cheese smell out. "EWW, but fine. But if I win, you must go to Liberty dressed as me." I thought about it, 

"Fine, but not the jacket." Adrien nodded. "Okay, so deal?" we shook hands, "Deal."

I opened the door, and Natalie and my father walked in. He just nodded towards us and sat down on the couch. "You may begin." He simply said, and we started playing. I started, and Adrien followed; I closed my eyes as I felt the vibrations, and I didn't want to look at my father's expressions, but then I heard on one wrong note, and it wasn't me.

"I've heard enough. Are you sure you're practicing, Adrien?" My father spoke, and I opened my eyes, letting my instrument down from my shoulder. "I'm just doing the same exercises over and over again. I think I could make better progress playing with other musicians besides Y/n. After all, music's meant to be shared with others, don't you think?" Adrien tried to defend himself, but it would not work. 

"We Agrestes are soloists. We're nowhere group members. You and Your sister are the exception, as two people are needed for this particular piece. I suggest you rehearse your part some more. You'll play it for me again later today. Y/n, you passed; you may go to the concert."
