Lets Dance (Miraculous Ladybug Breakdance AU)

• Tryout's •

Marinette's P.O.V

It was Wednesday, aka, tryout's for the Summer Show, which was a drunken idea by our ballet instructor, Madam Bustier.

It also meant that my Wednesday night was going to be spent at the dance studio, instead of at Club Miraculous.

About a week ago I had worked out a schedule with Tikki. Turns out when you're the reigning soloist champion, you have some extra responsibilities to take care of.

So on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, nights I was at the Club. I didn't mind it at all though, the Club was kind of a safe haven for everyone, including me.

So the way being champion works is, every week you pay a fee to Club Miraculous of $7, normally. The champion gets to either not have to pay that fee (because some past champions have had some financial struggles), for as long as they are champion, or give up that privilege, for some extra studio, and rehearsal time. I choose the extra rehearsal time, as did apparently Chat Noir in the past. But they also, no matter what, have to help organize how their battles would play out. What kind of music. What style of dance. When on that Friday night. All that good stuff.

So I had texted Tikki, that we were going to need to reschedule seeing as it was a requirement to have some part in the Summer Show.

I groaned as I shuffled my feet towards the small studio on the corner. This was not how I wanted to spend my Wednesday night.

I threw the door open, and Natalie looked up with a surprised look on her face. But a second later, it was straight back to the blank stare that I had gotten, oh so used to seeing.

"You're here on time for once?" She questioned, her voice flat "I must not be in the right studio" She snorted at her own joke, "Studio B"

"Thanks," I said shouldering my bag and making the trudge towards the locker room.

I opened the door, and for once, not just Alya was there. Alya looked up and shock crossed her face "Marinette are you feeling okay?!" She asked as she rushed up to me "Cause for once you're actually on time" She rolled her eyes at the end

I shoved her and laughed "Hey I'm on time...sometimes" I trailed off, the lie dying in my throat

"Yeah" She laughed "And I'm Ladybug"

I stood there, a cold sweat making it's way to the back of my neck "W-what?" I asked my smile fading

"Okay so get this girl," Alya said in a lower voice, pulling me away from the other students in the locker room "You know that Club Miraculous place?" I nodded slowly "I got an invite!" She cheered. I smiled at her, hoping and praying that she would end the conversation there

I played along "It's real?" I asked like I didn't know

She nodded her head so fast I thought it was gonna fly off "Yeah, and there's this dancer there, Ladybug and she totally came in one day out of nowhere, and kicked the reigning champ, Chat Noir's, ass!" She said excitedly

"Okay," I said slowly

"And guess what?" She asked even more excitedly if that was even possible

"What?"

"I bet anything, I could get you an invite too" She smirked at me

I felt myself go pale "T-that sounds awesome Alya!" I said with as much enthusiasm as I could muster "But you know me, I'm not really the club type"

"Oh, girl come on!" She begged "Do this for me. I feel like I never see you anymore, and my birthday's coming up..." She trailed off "So this can be like my birthday present! Come on. Please, please, please, please, please" She begged, putting her hands up in what looked like the way you would pray
