billy walked inside the house, "so where is everyone?" he looked around for the other students, spotting dimitri's younger sister rosemary argent who was also eavesdropping on the pair.

"billy, i- didn't think you were coming," dimitri looked at the boy who just was standing in his doorway, he knew that natalia wasn't going to like this and dimitri wanted the group rehearsal to be drama free.

"i wasn't going to," he replied simply, "i wasn't informed we were doing a rehearsal group but then i saw natalia's post."

rio snorted as billy shot him a glare, "what were you doing looking at natalia césaire-lahiffe's blog, i thought you hated her."

"natalia hates me, i don't hate her."

billy got bored quickly of the chitchat and welcomed himself to explore the house, "bill-" dimitri started but stopped himself as they walked into his kitchen, there the three boys saw the group practice.

natalia whipped her head around and saw just about her least favourite person, "dimitri, you said he wasn't coming."

billy pulled a fake offended face, "he wasn't going to but then he saw a post about the rehearsal group on the miraculous blog."

"oh-" that quieted natalia. no one else seemed to have a problem with billy being here so he sat down, taking his seat between mikyung and angie he grabbed out his script which was already highlighted and scribbled on.

dimitri sat down too, rio following him shortly after. "what scene were you guys practising?" he asked as he opened his script, happy that rio said he would give angie a fair chance.

mikyung was the one to answer, "we just finished the scene where marinette and adrien got their miraculous, camille was filling in for amrio."

"we were just talking about singing miraculous but didn't want to do it without rio," camille added.

rio sighed heavily, like singing a duet with angie keun would kill him but he had to do it anyway, "sure let's do it."

angie raised an eyebrow, not sure whether they should be offended or not by the dramatics of his sigh, "okay..."

dott was the dj of sorts and turned the instrumental that her mother had recorded on.

rio counted himself in and then started singing,

"another day, i'm back at school
i think about him, he's so cool
he looks at me, i look away
but does he see me anyway?"

billy looked up from his script when he saw natalia staring at him, he gave her a smug look and then the unexpected happened. as she turned away from him, he saw her blushing?

𝐃𝐎𝐓𝐓.

dott is so proud for her mother, she knew that if fleur was here she would be tearing up the same way she did when dott first sang the demo album for her, the pride that was in her mother's face, she imagined that it was the same look on her own.

as rio and angie sang the chorus dott sang the lyrics in her mind, she had sung this song over twenty times and knew every word.

"miraculous! simply the best!
up to the test when things go wrong!
miraculous, the luckiest!
the power of love, always so strong!"

angie was the perfect choice for adrien agreste, dott couldn't say that angie sounds exactly like adrien because she knows that adrien can't sing but angie's voice is how she imagines adrien singing voice to sound like.

dott knew that amrio agreste could sing but doesn't sound like he wants to be here, dott knows all about how that sounds. when someone wants to sing verse when they have to there is a very obvious tell, one that her mother had her aware of.

hands.

if you are a good liar or actor you can change your voice, fake passion but what people usually aren't aware of is their subconscious mind acting through hands.

when dott doesn't want to do something she picks the skin on her left hand, it's something that her mum made her realise she was doing and now every time dott gets nervous or does something she doesn't want to, she plays with her hair tie.

she can see rio doesn't want to be here because he is sitting on his hands.

"i am the cat, just chillin' out
but in the night, she's all i think about
i feel so strong when she's around,
she picks me up when I am down."

no one else seemed to pick up on how rio didn't want to be here or maybe no one wanted to say anything, either way dott removed the thought from her mind.

"miraculous, simply the best
up to the test when things go wrong
miraculous, the luckiest
the power of love always so strong

miraculous
miraculous, the luckiest
the power of love always so strong
miraculous!"

𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐈𝐄.

everyone was mostly gone now, everyone other then dott and angie. the group rehearsal ended about thirty minutes ago and they were waiting because dott's mother and step-mum wasn't able to pick them up for about another thirty minutes more. just over ten minutes ago dimitri's parents and older sister arrived, dimitri's sister, dani, walked straight up to her room, dimitri explained that she doesn't like strangers.

angie and dott were waiting in the driveway as dimitri keeps them company, "you're a really good singer," dimitri told angie.

"thanks," angie said, a little uncomfortable with being complemented, "you're good yourself."

dimitri smiled brightly he then crossed his eyebrows, "hey, do i know you from somewhere? you just look really familiar."

angie shook his head, "i don't think so- i just joined collège françoise dupont."

"no i definitely know you from somewhere," dimitri searched his thoughts, trying to remember where he knew angie from. he couldn't remember him though, just things that angie reminds him of like autumn, dogs and the colour white. "it has something to do with autumn..."

"my dog? oh- oh! you're dog dude!"

"sorry?"

"when my dog went missing you're the guy who helped me find her!"

"yeah!" dimitri clicked as he remembers where he knows angie, "you had the really cute, white dog."

"that's my girl autumn, you freaking saved my dogs life dude."

dimitri shook his head, "it was nothing, my dog leo gets out all the time, i just did what i wished people did when i had to find her. wow, it's been like three years since then."

"you very different from how i remember, i thought you were... blonder," angie pictured the boy who helped them find their dog, angie was thirteen, the boy was a little older, like fourteen, he had greenish blue eyes and bright blond hair.

"my hair darkened with age, you look exactly the same, like the same but just older?" dimitri realised how that statement sounded odd but just went with it because angie didn't seem to question it.

"thanks? i think that's a complement."

"it is." the conversation died a little after that, angie being the antisocial boy that they are they were more then happy to let the conversation end there, while dimitri did not, "how is autumn anyways?"

"she's good," angie said with a smile, they love their dog more then anything, autumn is like more of a family member then a pet, they grabbed out their phone and showed dimitri a photo of her now, "she just turned eight."

dimitri looked at the photo, "wow, she looks really healthy for an eight year old, my dog is only four, him and leo should have a play date sometime!"

"yeah that would be really cool."

writing this chapter hurt. the first draft i wrote was so much better. sorry that this is shorter then other chapters. also we just hit 10828 words 🎉 and probably 1k views after this chapter.

dimitri sisters' face claims are peyton list (as tory nichols) and raegan revord (as missy cooper). rosemary and danielle will probably only appear like two/three times.
