You're The Music That's Been Playing Inside My Head

Luka Chapter Four

I pay the cashier and grab the groceries and start to head back home, my earbuds in as I hummed along to the melody and nodded to the beat. My eyes widen as I watch a bubble float up to the adult couple in front of me and trap them inside before floating up. "What the-" I started to comment before cutting myself off when I noticed it was happening to all the adults near here when a thought hit me. "Mom!" I shout as I start running back home, pleading under my breath for her to be alright.

I turn the corner to see the familiar boat and race onto the poop deck calling out for her. "Mom?! Mom! Where are you?!" She emerges from the cockpit, putting her hands on her hips as she asks "Luka, my boy what's gotten ye so rattled?" I rush up to her and hug her asking "Are you ok?" "Of course I am, why wouldn't I be?"

I open my mouth to explain when out of the corner of my eye I notice a bubble making its way toward us. "Mom, look out!" I shout, pushing her behind me as I get caught in the bubble. "Luka!" "No don't-" I tried to warn her but it was too late. The bubble traps her into it too before it splits off into two bubbles.

The bubble started to fly away but the bubble I was in started to float somewhere else and I helplessly watched mom float into the sky as we shouted for each other. "Let me out and give her back!" I shouted, punching the bubble but strangely it had no effect.

The bubble takes me to the courtyard of a mansion filled with other kids, what was going on? It looked like whoever this new supervillain was, he was forcing people to party for someone's birthday. It looks like someone had just finished singing a song. I start walking through the crowd, trying to find an exit when I feel a hand grab my wrist, I turn around to find it was (y/n). "Luka? What are you doing here?" She asks me, worry written on her face and I explain, glancing at the Bubbler.

"A bubble had picked me up and brought me here, the Bubbler might think I'm part of your class." "Yeah, let's hope Ladybug, Chat Noir, and that new hero shows them up soon," (y/n) mutters, gripping her purse/ bag strap, something was bothering her. I tried to cheer her up as we continued to talk when suddenly a slow dance song started to play, w-why?

We look around and watch as everyone starts to reluctantly pair up to dance. I turn to (y/n) and grab her hand, earning her attention as I asked her to dance with a smile. I can't help but smirk at her as her cheeks go pink and she stutters out "Uh y-yeah..." I gently brought her closer to me and started to dance though I could easily tell she didn't know how so we just kind of swayed.

Suddenly the song abruptly ended and a more upbeat song started to play. We step back and smile at each other, the memory of us standing close to each other and "dancing" replaying in my head when a girl with glasses runs up to us stating "(y/n), I found Marinette let's go!" (y/n) is then dragged off as she tried to wave goodbye, causing me to shake my head in amusement.

After a few more minutes Ladybug finally appeared with that new superhero (y/n) had mentioned to me. She was dressed like a polar bear, a set of daggers strapped to her thighs. There was just something about her that had called to my attention that made me completely focus on her. Who...Who is she?
