Couffaine Houseboat
"Oops! Sorry, Mylène. My bad!" Lily apologized after she bumped into Mylène. She and her friends were all helping to set up the Couffaine houseboat for a music festival. "I think this is yours Rose," She said, handing Rose a microphone out of the box of stuff she was holding.
"Thanks, Lily! Do you realize? It's our very first concert! It's going to be awesome!" Rose chirped into the microphone, which produced feedback.
Lily winced at the loud sound before smiling and walking over to Juleka, who was sitting down on a box while tuning her guitar. "He's not here yet." She uttered, referring to Adrien.
"I'm sure he'll be here soon." Juleka assured her.
"I hope so. But we all know how his dad is." Lily prayed.
"Yeah. It's easy to see that he's very overprotective of Adrien." Juleka agreed.
"No kidding. But I can understand why though." Lily commented.
"What are you two talking about?" A familiar male voice asked.
Lily and Juleka turned to the voice and spotted a familiar blonde boy.
"Adrien! You're here!" Lily squealed and wrapped her arms around Adrien's neck as he wrapped his arms around her waist.
"I'm glad that I'm here." Adrien smiled as they loosen their grip on each other.
"Dude, your dad let you come?" Nino asked as he and Sabrina came over.
Adrien rubbed the back of his head sheepishly, "I may have...snuck out." He admitted.
Lily, Juleka, Nino and Sabrina's eyes widened, "You what?!"
"I snuck out." Adrien confessed.
They blinked at Adrien with shock. Then Nino came over and wrapped his arm around his shoulder, "You've gotten bolder, bro!"
Adrien chuckled nervously.
"Definitely." Sabrina agreed.
"Alright, everyone, the queen has arrived!" Chloé's voice says.
"Thanks for coming to help, Chloé, it means a lot." Rose smiled at the fashionista.
"I had nothing better to do so, why not?" Chloé replies nonchalantly.
"Captain Anarka speaking to ya!" Anarka Couffaine appeared just then. "So how's it comin' along me young pirates? Ready to celebrate the music festival?"
"Definitely, Captain." Lily smiled.
"You're Lily Rossi, right?" Anarka asked.
"Yes, I am." Lily confirmed.
"I like to thank ya' for helping Juleka. She was always worried about her picture being taken. Ya gave her the confidence to smile at the camera and take a beautiful picture of her." Anarka complimented.
"You're welcome, Captain." Lily smiled back.
Just then Rose and Juleka appeared by the stairway, Chloé and Sabrina are behind them.
"We're ready Captain! Uh... but Luka's missing." Rose informs.
"Who the heck is Luka?" Chloé raised an eyebrow.
"He's my older brother." Juleka replied.
"Chloé, right?" Anarka asked the fashionista.
"The one and only." Chloé confirmed.
"Could you go and tell Luka that we're waiting for him to start rehearsals?" Anarka questioned.
"Sure, where is he?" Chloé probed.
"You'll find him in his cabin." Anarka replied.
Below Deck. Luka's Cabin.
"Uh, hellooo? Luka? You down here?" Chloé asks as she enters. She froze when she saw Luka sitting cross-legged on top of his bed.
The boy opens his eyes, revealing his beautiful vivid cyan irises.
Chloé was stunned by the incredible physical appearance of the boy before her. He was everything she had ever dreamed of in a boyfriend and more. Never in her wildest dreams had she imagined a boy so handsome, with his perfectly sculpted features, his eyes, and his dark hair.
When she finally found her voice, she could only stammer out one word.
"H-Hello," She quickly covered her mouth. She rarely ever stuttered!
"Hi," Luka replies, his voice soothing, yet dark at the same time.
Chloé was enthralled by his voice. It had something more than just a musical tone to it, but she wasn't quite sure what. There was something deep and mysterious about it, something almost other worldly.
"I-I'm Veruca Bourgeois, I-I mean Chloé Bourgeois. Um, your mom sent me down here... The groove- uh, the group's w-waiting for you..."
Chloé face-palmed herself. Goodness, she was acting like Dupain-Cheng, and she didn't like it one bit.
"Hello, Veruca Bourgeois," Luka teases her, chuckling.
Chloé was instantly frustrated by his tease as she could feel her cheeks heat up. Her mind tried to formulate a witty response when she felt his eyes studying her.
The glam queen was suddenly self-conscious about how she was looking. She felt as if she was suddenly in the spotlight and all of her features were under examination.
She cleared her throat and snapped back, "It's Chloé. Chloé Bourgeois. Get it right,"
Luka hums, smirking. "A little sassy, aren't you?"
That smirk, that infuriating smirk!
Chloé's mood quickly soured as she rolled her eyes and turned.
Luka's smirk grew wider and he spoke again. "I like that," His voice had a dangerous edge to it, like he was challenging her.
Without looking back, Chloé retorted, "Well you should, because I'm not some basic girl who's gonna let a boy walk all over me,"
Luka chuckles. "Well, would the not-some-basic girl allow me to play a little tune for her?" He raised an eyebrow.
Despite herself, Chloé's ears perked up. He actually wanted to play something on his guitar for her?
Something about a boy making music for her just sent shivers down her spine.
She turned back around to face him. "You... wanna play something for me?"
"Anything for the pretty girl in front of me," Luka purrs.
Chloé was stunned. She could barely speak. It seemed as though her throat had dried up. Her cheeks burned bright red, she was completely speechless. Her heart was going crazy.
The only thing she could manage to get out was, "W-W-What are you gonna play...?"
Luka puts his guitar over his shoulder and plays a few strings, surprising the Bourgeois girl. He patted the spot on his bed next to him gesturing for Chloé sit down.
"Come find out," He urges charmingly.
Chloé gulps and sits on his bed next to him.
Luka strums a few chords on his guitar before beginning to hum in a gravelly and deep tone. His voice had a certain hypnotic quality that made Chloé feel as though she was in her own little world.
Chloé's eyes became more and more transfixed by his fingers as they danced across the strings. She found herself sinking deeper into the song and forgetting everything around her.
Finally, after a couple minutes, his small performance was over.
Chloé blinked and realized that he had stopped playing. He was looking directly at her, and she felt like it was only them in the room.
Because... it literally was.
"Did you like it?" Luka asks.
Chloé, still in a daze, simply nodded. She couldn't believe how this had all started. She was never one to fall for the looks of a boy, but she couldn't deny that this situation had her head spinning with butterflies and heart fluttering like mad.
Luka chuckled softly. "Glad you did, honeybunch."
"Honeybunch?!" Chloé was shocked by the nickname.
Luka's smirk grew wider again and he replied smoothly, "Yup. I think it suits you."
Chloé was speechless. Had he just called her a pet name? She almost swooned, but she resisted.
"How do you... do that?" She inquired. "How do you play such a good tune?"
"Music is often simpler than words," Luka responded.
Chloé got up and went over to a Jagged Stone poster. She picked up a Jagged guitar pick. "You like Jagged Stone's music?" She asked Luka.
"He's my favorite singer." He replied.
"Mine too!" Chloé smiles. She then blushed when Luka came beside her and she fiddled with the pick.
"You can have it if you like," Luka says, referring to the pick. "I've got plenty."
"Oh, well... good! Cause... I was gonna take it anyway," Chloé turns away, huffing.
Luka chuckles. "You're a funny girl, Chloé Bourgeois,"
Chloé turned at Luka, who winked at her before she walked out of the room. She blushed again before looking at the guitar pick and putting it in her purse before hurrying after him.
"Hey, wait up Couffaine!"
Couffaine Houseboat. On Deck.
Chloé sat down on a box between Sabrina and Lily, her cheeks still red.
"You okay, Chloé?" Sabrina asked her.
"I'm fine," Chloé replies. She then looked at Luka, who was strumming his guitar.
The Couffaine boy looked at her with those stunning eyes of his and gave her a wolfish grin.
Surprised by his stare, Chloé's cheeks turned hot. She quickly looked away from him, not wanting to see anymore of his attractive smile because it made her heart skip a beat.
Lily and Sabrina noticed this. They both look at Luka, then back at their friend, gasping in realization.
"No way, you," Sabrina leaned closer to Chloé. "You've got a thing for Juleka's hot brother already?!"
"What?! Don't be ridiculous, Sabrina, I don't have some dumb crush on Couffaine." Chloé crosses her arms defiantly.
"Look at your cheeks, they're so red right now," Lily giggles.
"Enough! I will NOT give in to Couffaine's flirty, charming, attractive..." Chloé's voice went soft for a moment before it became tough again. "I won't give into his ways! He gives off playboy vibes."
"But you like those playboy vibes, huh?" Lily smirks, nudging the blonde.
Chloé's whole face turns red as Sabrina and Lily giggled.
"Ho, ho, sailors! Let's give them a show! Whenever you're ready, Luka!" Anarka proclaimed.
Luka pulls off the black sheet from the speaker.
"You're going to need these, believe me." Mylène hands Sabrina, Chloé, and Lily earplugs.
Luka shreds his guitar, which makes a powerful sound that's enough to make cars on the streets go flying and for car alarms to go off.
Everyone is shocked to the core.
Just then police helicopters, boats, and cars rush over to the houseboat.
Officer Roger got out of his car and got out a megaphone.
"Uh-oh, my dad's here..." Sabrina frowns.
"Mrs. Anarka, are you completely out of your mind? I'm reading 160 decibels! That's ten times the sound of a jet engine! You just can't do this. You'll have to play something else!" Roger ordered.
"Ten times the sound of a jet engine?!" Chloé and Lily exclaim in unison.
"It's the National Music Festival today Officer Roger. My crew's allowed to play whatever they want!" Ms. Anarka retorted through her mic.
"It's a music festival, not a noise festival!" Officer Roger fired back. "If you don't turn the volume down, I'll ban your concert altogether!"
When Lily saw Roger pulling out a ticket pad, she quickly took a spot next to the captain. "Officer Roger, we are sorry, we didn't realize how loud the speakers were as we just set them up. Hopefully we'll be able to turn them down some while still playing our music? It is the music festival today and we're just some kids wanting to join in on the fun. Plus, I would hate for someone's day to be ruined on this beautiful day for some paperwork. So maybe this once can we be sent off with a warning? We're not looking for any trouble." Her gaze switches between the two adults, who both seem to be thinking her words over.
Officer Roger let out a sigh before he began to speak, "Alright, but I have to monitor it first."
"Then maybe we can agree at a level we're both satisfied with?" Lily suggested.
"I guess we could." Officer Roger accepted.
"Sounds right to me." Anarka agreed.
After a small disagreement about the volume level, they finally came to agreement.
"It's still a bit loud by my standards and a couple decibels over the legal limit. But I'll let it slide on this occasion, after all, it's the music festival!" Roger smiles.
Everyone cheered at this.
"Thanks, dad," Sabrina thanked him.
"Have a good gig!" Roger replied back before he left.
"At least we can to a peaceful solution." Nino commented.
"Yeah." Adrien agreed before he trips over something and fell into a case, causing the case to fall over as well.
"Adrien!" Everyone called out.
Lily was instantly at Adrien's side, "Adrien, you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm good." Adrien assured. He then turned to the case. "What's in here though?" He opened the case she bumped into. "Whoa!" He was amazed to see a piano inside the case. "An original ZX20.4? I love the sound of this instrument!"
"Aww, that old thing, no one knows how to play it." Anarka says.
"I know how to play it." Adrien replied.
"Great, welcome to the band Adrien." Luka said to the blonde as he walked up to him.
"Thanks, Luka," Adrien said as he held his hand out to Luka and Luka grabbed onto it and helped him to his feet.
Adrien smiled at that. Then the two set up the piano.
"Lily, can you join us?" Rose asked.
"Um, sure," Lily agreed and walked over to the band, "But what song do you want us to sing?"
Rose showed her the lyrics. Lily looked at them and smiled.
"This is definitely a good one." Lily confirmed.
"Okay then! Let's go!" Rose cheered.
The band started up the music.
{A/N: Lily sings as Meena and Rose as Rosita. Luka as Johnny's singing voice and Adrien playing the piano. Juleka and Luka playing their guitars. Lily, Rose and Juleka sing together like the rabbits with the guitars}
Everyone on the boat cheered and applauded when the song ended. Lily and Adrien glanced at each other and smiled. Both were glad that they prevented an Akuma from appearing. But most importantly, having a great time at the music festival. Luckily, Alya and Marinette weren't here to mess anything up. Unfortunately for Marinette, she received the post of Adrien and Lily performing with a band at Juleka's boat. She couldn't go to the festival since she didn't know where Juleka's home is. Not to mention that she wasn't invited. It was also because she was grounded for almost injuring Lily during the fencing try outs. Marinette could only look at the post with longingly and let out a groan of frustration. So today ended on a good note (except for Marinette).126Please respect copyright.PENANAFOT3ASpekh
