"Looks like we're stuck in the school tonight..." Ladybug sighed as she looked out the window.

Chat sighed.  They just had to get stuck in here with the WHOLE school.  But they couldn't go out in this storm.  It was getting late.

"Hey, m'lady..." Chat asked as he sat down in front of a piano, placed in the classroom they were in.

"Yeah?"

"You know Faded, right?"

"Faded?  The Song?"

Chat nodded.

"It was my mom's favourite.  She thought me it on the piano."

"She did?"

"Mhm...  I'm a bit rusty though."

His clawed fingers moved on the tangents swiftly, playing the beautiful melody.

"You were the shadow to my light
Did you feel us"

He sang smoothly as he played.

"Another start
You fade away"

"Afraid our aim is out of sight
Wanna see us
Alive"

"Where are you now" he played amazingly.

"Where are you now"

Ladybug was amazed.

"Where are you now
Was it all in my fantasy'

She didn't know he was this good.

"Where are you now
Were you only imaginary
Where are you now"

"Atlantis
Under the sea
Under the sea" he sang smoothly and calm.

"Where are you now"

"Another dream
The monsters running wild inside of me"

"I'm faded"

Ladybug watched in awe as his fingers gracefully moved around.

"I'm faded
So lost
I'm faded
I'm faded
So lost
I'm faded"

"These shallow waters, never met
What I needed
I'm letting go
A deeper dive
Eternal silence of the sea
I'm breathing
Alive"

Chat cracked a small smile as he sang.  It brought back good memories of his mom.

"Where are you now"

"Where are you now
Under the bright
But faded lights"

"You set my heart on fire"

"Where are you now"

He was amazing.

"Where are you now
Where are you now"

"Atlantis
Under the sea
Under the sea"

His voice cracked slightly.  And his ears hung a little lower.

"Where are you now"

But Ladybug didn't notice

"Another dream
The monsters running wild inside of me"

"I'm faded"

She was too amazed at his playing.

"I'm faded
So lost
I'm faded"

"I'm faded
So lost
I'm faded"

He played the last notes gracefully, finishing the song.  And broke into tears.  Ladybug looked at him with amazement.

"I'm sorry.  I just..."

Ladybug grabbed him into an embrace.  Suddenly they heard clapping.  They turned around and saw EVERYONE.  Alya also filmed it.  Their class, their teachers, the principal and others.

"That was amazing..." Nathaniel breathed out.

The others agreed.

"You wouldn't be intrested in coming to some music lessons, would you?" Mr. Damocles asked.

Chat was overwhelmed.  He took a shaky and unsteady breath.

"U-uh...  Sure..."

"Thats amazing!" He smiled.

"Can you play it again?  It was so beautiful." Rose questiones.

"I..." Chat took another shaky breath.

"Sure." He smiled.

"Come in.  Sit down."

Rose sat on top of the piano, thrilled to hear it again.  The others also came in.  Sitting on the floor, or on sone of the few chairs in the room.

Chat's fingers yet again moved over the tangents, getting every note perfect.

"You were the shadow to my light
Did you feel us
Another start
You fade away
Afraid our aim is out of sight
Wanna see us
Alive"

He sang gracefully, smiling.

What do you think?  What would you rate this from 1-10???

Have a good day or afternoon or night wherever in the world u r!
