Main Concert Hall

[Mari walks into the main hall,]

Marinette: Hey guys, [sees everyone's faces] What's wrong?

Juleka: Rose has lost her voice and none of us can sing like her.

Ivan: We won't be able to do the concert if we can't find someone to replace her.

Luka: We don't have time to teach someone else her blocking and her songs.

Alya: Marinette could do it!

Marinette: No...No I couldn't.

Alya: She is so good and she has been at all of the rehearsals and knows all of her songs.

Luka, Juleka, Ivan: YES!!!

Luka: Please Marinette, it would be so cool.

Marinette: stuttering O...Ok...Ok I will do it. [Everyone surrounds her in a big hug,]

Ivan: We need to do a run-through before tomorrow.

Luka: I'm done setting up so we can do it now. Marinette are you okay with that?

Marinette: O...Ok [Marinette puts down her Backpack and approaches the microphone at the front of the stage. Alya makes her way to the seats in front of the stage. Marinette takes a deep breath and gives the thumbs up to the rest of the band before turning back to the front.]

Juleka: Let's start with Bright... or whatever. [Marinette looks back and nods. Luka counts down and they begin to play.

Bright, Julie and the Phantoms Cast.

Sometimes I think I'm falling down
I wanna cry, I'm calling out
For one more try to feel alive
And when I feel lost and alone
I know that I can make it home

Fight through the dark and find the spark...

They all come to a staggering stop and turn to stare at Marinette.

Marinette: [Realises that they have stopped playing and turns around to see everyone staring open-mouthed at her.] What?

Luka: You never told us you could sing like that Marinette!

Ivan: You are awesome Marinette.

Alya: [shouting from the audience.] I TOLD YOU SHE WAS GOOD!!

Mari: [blushing profusely]. Come on guys I'm not that good... Stop looking at me like that! Let's keep going.[Marinette looks back to the audience and everyone prepares to resume the song.]

Adrien's Room

Gabriel: The event tomorrow will start at 5:00 sharp. You will be there to help Nathalie collect the donations and you may stay for the concert as well if you want as I know these are your friends.

Adrien: Thank you, father.

Gabriel: If that is all I will be leaving now.

Adrien: Actually Father could I please join my friends on stage, I have practised my Chinese, Piano and I have done all of my schoolwork.

Gabriel: No. You will be going as a representative of the Agreste brand and they are not a good influence and furthermore are the opposite of what our name is. You should be grateful that I am even letting you go to the event.

Adrien: I appreciate that father but their lead singer is sick and I really don't want to let them down by not being there.

Gabriel: I understand that but you have recorded your part of the songs and they can play them at the same time as they sing. I see no reason for you to play.

Adrien: Ok Father I will tell them. May I go slightly early to help them set up?

Gabriel: That shouldn't be a problem.

Adrien: Thank you so much, Father.

[Gabriel exits and Adrien sits on his bed.]

Plagg: Well at least you can go to the concert.

[Adrien's phone chimes. He picks it up.]

Luka [through the phone.] Hey dude,

Adrien: Hey, did you find someone to replace Rose yet?

Luka: Yeah Marinette is doing it. She is unbelievably good. I have never heard anything like it.

Adrien: Wow I never realised she could sing.

Luka: Me neither, She is like a different person when she is singing.

Adrien: Cool, Sorry that I won't be able to play with you guys.

Luka: No worries, we have your recordings. It's a shame though.  Are you able to come early to help set up?

Adrien: Yeah I can. [pause] Hey look I got to go; I will see you tomorrow at about 3?

Luka: Yeah Cool see you then. Bye

Adrien: Bye.

Marinette's Balcony, night

Marinette: [shouting down the hatch] Ok Mum will do. Ughhh Tiki how will I do this? [Leans on railing]

Tiki: You are going on right after the interval so you will be able to run to the bathroom and transform there then transform back after. Just tell them that you forgot something in the bathroom right before you go on again.

Marinette: But won't they expect ladybug to be there the whole time?

Tiki: I don't think so, they will understand that you cannot stay the whole time and be grateful that you even turned up. I think that people forget that you guys have lives outside of being superheroes.

Marinette: I'm sure I will slip up and do something stupid.

Tiki: you will be fine Marinette. You need to sleep soon, you will be dead tired in the morning.

Marinette: You go down I will be down in a minute.

Tiki: Okay Marinette, don't be too long. {Marinette looks over Paris]

Oppurtunity, Annie

[Marinette sits on her chair as chat noir lands on her balcony.]

Chat Noir: Hey Princess.

Marinette: Hey Chat, what are you doing here?

Chat Noir: Just wanted to see my Princess. I heard you were Singing at the Akuma charity event tomorrow.

Marinette: How do you know that?

Chat Noir: I have my sources. That's so cool, I never knew you could sing.

Marinette: Yeah, I took singing lessons when I was little and went to a drama school. I hated it though because as I got older they put more and more pressure on me. I quit just before I was 10.

Chat Noir: Wow, can you sing me something? Please.

Marinette: No, you will hear me tomorrow at the concert.

Chat noir: Yes but I want a preview. Please, princess.

Marinette: No. All good things come to those who wait. 

Chat Noir: Please Purrinces.

Marinette: Kitty. It's getting late and I still have some finishing touches on my costume. 

Chat Noir: Costume?

Marinette: Yeah, I was going to help Alya with videoing but now that I'm on stage I need to find something that matches the others. I am just piecing together spare bits and pieces from other projects.

Chat Noir: I'm sure you will look, beautiful Princess. But don't stay up too late.

Marinette: See you tomorrow Chat. [exits into hatch]

Chat Noir: Bye Princess. [Leaves]
