Third and final chapter of "Swooning To The Music" is here. I was having some trouble coming up with an ending for this, and working on "The Little Merboy" amongst other stories.

At any rate, after the concert, a heartbroken Adrien pays a visit to Marinette as Cat Noir. After some gentle prodding on his part, Marinette offloads what she sees in Luka and why she loves him.

How will this cat take it? Not well, I'd expect.


The concert had wrapped up, and Luka was not about to let Marinette walk home in the dark. So, arm-in-arm, the new couple started to walk back to the Tom & Sabine Boulangerie Patisserie.

Luka, for some reason, insisted on taking a different route. Marinette, still on her high from being asked out, put her trust in him.

"Ah, here we are," Luka said, as he looked ahead. "Hungry?"

"Um, yes, why…?" Marinette began, but Luka briefly gestured in front of them, giving her a smile.

They noticed André, the ice cream vendor, standing with his ice cream cart.

"Hello and welcome, both of you!" The older man said, as he noticed Marinette and Luka.

"Is this why you wanted to take a different way back home?" Marinette asked.

"Yes," Luka confirmed with a nod. "Before I came to get you for the show, I was looking around for the clues to André's location, so we could share a lovers' cone after the concert."

"That's… That's the sweetest thing ever." Marinette admitted, as she blushed.

She still remembered how she unintentionally caused André to be akumatized. Long story short, she had come to find André along the Seine with Nino, Alya, Myléne and Ivan, with the intention for Adrien to show up. But since he did not, Marinette got depressed and expressed doubts about the claims of André's ice cream bringing couples together. Marinette had made up with him after the incident, but that still did not make her unrequited feelings for the blonde and the disappointment that he did not come any less.

But now that she had a legitimate boyfriend, she was planning on enjoying the ice cream to the fullest.

"Ah, bonjour you two! Marinette, good to see you again!" André said, as the pair approached him.

André immediately took note that Marinette was not alone this time. In fact, she looked quite happy, her arms wrapped around Luka's.

"Aha! She's found a lover! Let me whip you two up something I'm sure you'll enjoy!" André cheered, as he ran behind his cart and got to work on a cone.

He scooped up three different flavors.

"Blueberry for his matching hair and eyes, white chocolate for her delicate sweetness, and almond for the unexpected events that brought the two of you together!" André trilled, as he handed the pair a shared cone with two small spoons inside.

"Merci, André," Luka said, as he and Marinette took hold of the cone. "This is the perfect, calming thing to end our night."

After paying, the pair found a nearby bench and started eating their shared cone.

"André's ice cream is great," Luka said, as he scooped up some of the dessert and popped it in his mouth. "I'll bet even your parents can't resist it."

"To be candid, in a way, André's responsible for my existence. His cart was actually where my father proposed to my mother." Marinette giggled, before thinking about her parents' love story.

Luka blushed a bit, before rubbing the back of his head, and replied, "Wow."

However, he kept staring at Marinette for a moment.

She just looked so cute. The smile on her face was glowing with joy as she ate some of the creamy treat, and it was as if all traces of her former crush were gone. Now that the two of them were an official item, Luka had every intention of making Marinette the happiest girl in the world.

Just then, the guitarist noticed that some of the almond ice cream had gotten on Marinette's face.

Deciding to be a bit devious, Luka pointed out, "Hey, you got something on the corner of your mouth."

"Oh, I do?" Marinette inquired, as she went to get a napkin. "Don't worry, I'll get it."

"Allow me." Luka interrupted.

However, rather than wipe her mouth with a napkin, he kissed the corner of her mouth to remove the ice cream. Marinette turned redder than a cherry and became short of breath.

'Th-Th-That was SO CLOSE to a real kiss!' Marinette thought, her train of thought halting faster than a car hitting the breaks.

Seeing her getting all flustered was the cutest thing Luka had ever seen. Thus, he went back for more.

Marinette turned to look at her newly-established boyfriend, only to have her lips be met by his own. It was a mere brush, yet it set Marinette's heartbeat into overdrive.

Internally, she was squealing like one of Adrien's crazed fans.

Once Luka leaned away, he gave Marinette a playful smile and told her, "We'd better finish the ice cream before it melts."

Marinette, in full agreement with Luka, spooned up another bite, hoping to not only cool herself down, but to dial back the color on her face.

Luka chuckled, reveling in his girlfriend's embarrassment. It was endearing and very sweet.

Once the pair arrived back at the bakery, the lights were still on. Since Marinette had told her folks that she would be out late due to the concert, they insisted on waiting up for her.

"We're back." Marinette said as she entered the house.

"Did you two have fun?" Tom asked, as he and Sabine came into the living room.

"Definitely." Luka said, before once again kissing Marinette on the cheek.

Marinette's folks smiled as they watched the young man do this, before turning to their daughter.

"Anything you want to tell us, Marinette?" Sabine asked, a teasing tone.

"Luka… Luka's my boyfriend now!" Marinette said, as she hugged Luka by the arm.

"Well, Luka, treat our daughter right," Tom said, as he and Luka shook hands. "Now, it's late. It's not a school night, but I'm sure you two are tired out."

"I get you," Luka said. "I'd better head home. See you later, Marinette."

"Bye Luka," Marinette said wistfully, as Luka left the house. "I'll be off to my room now…"

Marinette was on cloud nine as she did a little dance while climbing the stairs to the trap door of her room.

Once the trap door was closed and locked, Marinette started jumping up and down, squealing with joy, and she was on a high from her first kiss with her first boyfriend.

Tikki came out from her bag and said, "This is great, Marinette! You have a boyfriend now!"

"I know, Tikki! This is fantastic! I can't wait to go on more dates, kisses, playing video games, kisses, playing music together, kisses…" Marinette rambled on.

"You said "kisses" three times, Marinette!" Tikki giggled.

"I can't help it. I've never had a legitimate kiss with a boy before!" Marinette swooned.

"What about what happened with Dark Cupid? You had to kiss Cat Noir to snap him out of it." Tikki deadpanned.

"That didn't count because I had to snap him out of it," Marinette asserted, folding her arms. "That ice cream really cooled me off, but I'm still steaming… Maybe some of the cold night air on the roof would help."

Marinette climbed the stairs to her bed, and then climbed out of the skylight to enjoy her balcony.

Though the sky was clear, and the stars were out, all Marinette could see was Luka's mischievous smile and guitar.

On another rooftop, someone was watching Marinette with sad, hurt eyes. Cat Noir. There was just something about Marinette's happy face that cheered him up. But since her joy was from something other than her feelings for Adrien, his heart was pounding with a sensation of negativity. He had to watch it, lest he incite Hawkmoth.

Hopping from one roof to the next, he soon landed on the balcony with a thud, before saying, "Evening, Princess."

Marinette, startled, stumbled and faltered. She flailed around before regaining her balance. Marinette turned and saw Cat Noir leaning against the railing, his arms crossed and looking like he had seen a tragic film and could not stop crying.

"Cat Noir? What are you doing here?" Marinette asked.

Last time she checked, yes, it was Cat Noir's turn for solo patrol that night, but why would he pop in on her out of nowhere like this? Sure, there was that time before Glaciator attacked, but that was because he did not want to be alone since she – as Ladybug – had unknowingly stood him up. What was wrong this time?

"I… I heard through the grapevine that you're seeing someone." Cat Noir evasively stated.

""Through the grapevine?" Or was it social media?" Marinette quipped, crossing her arms.

Considering that display at the concert, she would not be surprised if people recorded it and posted it online.

"…Kind of both, honestly." Cat Noir answered, dodging the real reason why he knew.

Marinette detected several emotions in his body language. Hurt, heartache, sadness, grief, anger with self, etc. Why was he feeling like this?

"So… Who's the idi- er, guy? Luka Couffaine, right?" Cat Noir asked, catching himself before calling Luka an idiot. If he insulted her boyfriend to her face, Marinette would definitely be angry with him.

"Yes, that's his name… And he's a dream come true." Marinette said, sighing with yearning joy.

Just hearing about Luka was making Cat Noir sick to his stomach. However, he was certain that it was also his own guilt that gave him that feeling, too.

"Well… I don't know who he was talking about, but whoever turned you down was stupid." Cat Noir stated, knowing full well that he was referring to himself. And it was eating at him like Plagg chowing down on camembert.

Marinette sighed and stated, "Adrien Agreste. He put me in the friend-zone… But since meeting Luka, I've been so happy."

"…What do you see in that guy, anyway?" Cat Noir prodded, trying really hard not to let any animosity seep into his tone.

He was so angry at himself. Angry for not noticing Marinette's feelings before; angry at hurting her so much; angry that he had not realized his growing affection for her; angry at being so blinded by Ladybug that he could not notice who else was around him. Most of all, he was angry because now Luka had stolen his Princess out from under him.

"What do I see in Luka?" Marinette asked. "He's… very sweet and very nice."

"I got that much," Cat Noir scoffed. "What else?"

"Meaning?" Marinette inquired.

"Being sweet and nice is all fine and good," Cat Noir muttered, as he had heard gossip amongst the girls that it was those traits that Marinette saw in him as Adrien. "But that can't be the only thing, can it?"

What was it about Luka that set him apart from himself? Why was Marinette swooning over the guy instead of the boy who had her attention for so long? Aside from the fact that Adrien turned the poor girl down, that is.

"He actually notices me," Marinette said, with a puff of air coming out in annoyance. "Unlike my former crush. He was oblivious to me for a while, so…"

'Yeah, and now I'm too late.' Cat Noir thought, frustrated.

"He finds my stuttering cute," Marinette began, blushing. "And he thinks I'm funny."

Cat Noir was silent as he listened.

Just then, as if something snapped in the background, music started playing.

"Smooth-talking. So rocking! He's got everything that this girl's wanting." Marinette sang, as she started to spin and dance a bit, while Cat Noir only watched in subdued quiet.

"Guitar cutie! He plays it groovy! And I can't keep myself from doing something stupid!" Marinette sang.

She remembered how she would happily listen to him play his guitar. Immediately after, she wound up doing something clumsy and stupid. It only made Luka laugh.

"Think I'm really falling for his smile! Get butterflies when he says my name!" Marinette sang.

She would think of all the smiles that Luka would give her, whether or not she did something that he found entertaining or whatever, or even when he would greet her, she felt her stomach just swarm with uncharged akumas.

"He's got something special! He's got something special! And when he's looking at me, I want to get all sentimental!" Marinette sang, as she looked back at Cat Noir, about to cry happy tears at the thought of her boyfriend.

Cat Noir was not having it, but he continued to listen.

"He's got something special! He's got something special! I can hardly breathe, something's telling me, telling me maybe he could be the one!" Marinette sang.

As she repeated the last lines a few times, Cat Noir thought, if only he had paid more attention to Marinette. What could their relationship be at that moment if he had only taken the time to see Marinette?

"He's lightning! Sparks are flying! Everywhere I go he's always on my mind, and I'm going crazy about him lately!" Marinette vocalized, as she remembered that she had been completely obsessed with Luka as of late and her heart rate was going insane whenever he was closer to her. "And I can't help myself from how my heart is racing!"

As she leaned against the railing and turned back to Cat Noir, a blush adorned her face and she sang, "Think I'm really digging on his vibe! He really blows me away!"

Cat Noir's heart was hurting with every word Marinette would sing. It was hard to listen to, but he continued to focus on his friend.

"He's got something special! He's got something special! And when he's looking at me, I want to get all sentimental!" Marinette sang, once again thinking about Luka.

Every time he would smile, hold her hand, compliment her, whatever, she was already fantasizing. She thought back on all of the times they spent together, including the concert and the ice cream.

"He's got something special! He's got something special! I can hardly breathe, something's telling me, telling me maybe he could be the one!" Marinette sang, spinning around.

All the moments she and Luka shared were flowing back into her mind, playing like a movie. Cat Noir could only watch on as Marinette went on and on, and she was clearly overjoyed.

He was wondering how Luka would treat her if she ever went and made mistakes. He had a feeling he was pretty easygoing about it, but regardless, he had this sudden urge to hear it, while at the same time, not sure if he actually wanted to.

Marinette was still daydreaming. She was recalling earlier in the week that she and Luka had decided to bake cookies in the apartment. She was bringing out the flour into the kitchen while Luka was cracking the eggs and measuring the vanilla.

However, being the klutz that she was, she tripped over on air and wound up throwing the flour bag up by accident.

Seeing this, Luka ran forward and shouted, "I got it!"

However, the flour bag ended up falling onto Luka and its contents spilled all over him.

Seeing the older boy covered in white powder made Marinette cover her mouth in shock. However, she was surprised to hear Luka chuckling.

"Hahaha! Man, you're a riot, Marinette!" Luka laughed. Seeing that he was not upset, Marinette started to laugh along with the guitarist.

"We'd better clean this up before we keep going," Marinette said, as she went to get the broom. "We have more flour where that came from, so no worries."

"I haven't the slightest doubt, babe." Luka muttered as he watched Marinette leave to get cleaning supplies.

She then remembered that after a successful batch of cookies, it was nighttime when they were done. Rather than leave, Luka asked if they could go on the roof of her house. Marinette did not deny him this, and within minutes, they were sitting on the rooftop under the stars and he was serenading her with his guitar music.

Marinette was swooning in that moment. Just hearing him praise her using his music made her feel like she was in absolute heaven.

"And he's got a way of making me feel like everything I do is perfectly fine! The stars are aligned when I'm with him! And I'm so into him!" Marinette sang, turning back to Cat Noir.

"He's got something special! He's got something special! And when he's looking at me, I want to get all sentimental!" Marinette sang, Luka's gaze at her during the concert still fresh in her mind.

"He's got something special! He's got something special! I can hardly breathe, something's telling me, telling me maybe he could be the one!" Marinette sang, as she repeated the last line a few more times.

Seeing Marinette so happy about her boyfriend made Cat Noir's feel even worse.

"I… I see." Cat Noir said, trying his best to sound happy for Marinette.

Apparently, he failed at that, because Marinette noticed the sadness in his voice and asked him, "You okay?'

Not wanting to let her see him shed tears, he turned away and said, "Y-Yes, I'm fine, Princess… Just… I just hope… I wish for your happiness…"

'What have I done?! My Princess was hurt by my ignorance and now look what's happened! She's happy and with someone else, and I can't even do anything except stand by and watch while my heart shatters to pieces!' Cat Noir thought, as he covered his eyes with one of his hands.

Marinette could tell he was not okay, but she could only deduce that he was hurt by her revelation about her feelings for Luka.

Rather than cry like a baby in front of Marinette, Cat Noir leaped away from the roof to go back home.

"Cat, wait!" Marinette called out, but he was gone.

Within minutes, Cat Noir made it back into his room. He called off his transformation, melting back into Adrien. Rather than listen to Plagg complain about transforming just to visit Marinette, Adrien just collapsed onto the bed and started to cry into his pillow.

"Kid?" Plagg asked, as he flew closer to Adrien.

Adrien just ignored his kwami and kept offloading his pent-up emotions.

He was devastated. Just when he realized his feelings for Marinette, she went and found another. If only he had not wasted so much time going after Ladybug, then maybe he could have been happy with Marinette instead. He took something out of his pocket – the same lucky charm bracelet that he had gotten from Marinette when he was at her place, practicing for the UMSIII tournament.

The only thing he could do was tell her how he felt, even though he was too late.

For the rest of the weekend, all Adrien did was mope around and stay in his room aside from patrol. Even then, he tried his best to make sure Ladybug did not catch on to his heartbreak.


That following Monday, Adrien came to school, but his mind was still on Marinette.

He had to find her. He had to talk to her. He knew he had already lost the race to Luka, but he wanted to at least let Marinette know that he cared about her.

"Adrien, buddy!" Nino shouted, as the DJ soon came upon the model. "What happened to you this weekend? You didn't answer the phone at all!"

Adrien, surprised at this information, looked at his phone and realized that he had many missed calls and unread texts from Nino and many other people. Heck, even Marinette had texted him, and from her message, she was definitely worried about him.

'At least she still cares about me to some degree.' Adrien thought.

"Sorry, Nino," Adrien said. "It's just that… The concert."

"Oh, yeah," Nino said, realizing what was bugging his friend. "Alya and I saw what happened from our seats. Can't believe Luka was bold enough to make a move like that."

Adrien hunched over, muttering, "Don't remind me."

Apparently, Nino's headphones were still on, because then he stated, "I just heard from Alya that after the concert, Luka brought Marinette to André's ice cream cart and they shared a lovers' cone before walking her home. Even shared a kiss, if I remember right."

For once, the sound of Nino's voice and the words coming out of the DJ's mouth were grinding against Adrien's brain and now he was getting annoyed. For crying out loud, they kissed?! Could his love life get any deader than it already was?

"Where is she?" Adrien asked. His tone was a combination of annoyance and curiosity.

"Marinette?" Nino asked. "I think she's talking with Alya about Luka near the lockers…"

"All I needed to hear," Adrien said, before turning and making his way to the locker area. "Meet you in the classroom?"

Nino gave a hum of confirmation, before internally praying that all went well. The last thing he wanted was to hear Adrien complain about getting chewed out by Marinette. But hey, that was his fault for confessing so late… Though he knew telling Adrien that was a bad call.

In the locker area, the girls were going on and on about the concert and about Luka.

"Oh, it was so sweet! Luka was a gentleman, walking me home, sharing the ice cream… It was heaven!" Marinette squealed, as she talked to Alya about her date with Luka.

"Wow, sounds like your fantasies about Adrien are coming true," Alya said. "Only difference is that it's with a different guy. One who genuinely cares about you and treats you like royalty. You seem pretty happy with Luka."

"How can I not be?" Marinette asked, gushing again.

Out of her peripheral vision, Alya saw Adrien coming and then she murmured, "Looks like Golden Boy's got you in his sights. Good luck."

Alya immediately left the locker area to give Adrien time with Marinette.

"Marinette…" Adrien began, clearing his throat. "I have to talk to you."

For her part, Marinette was practically numb to Adrien at this point. Since falling for Luka, all of the butterflies, the stammers, the clumsy moments she had with Adrien were gone. She could talk to him normally now. It was like she never had feelings for the blonde to begin with.

"Yes, Adrien?" Marinette inquired.

"I… I like you. A lot," Adrien said, his face as red as a ladybug. "And I'm aware that you feel… Or rather, felt the same way until recently. I just… Wanted to get it out in the open."

Marinette's eyes were bulging in shock. All it took was for another boy to ask her out for Adrien Agreste to take notice of her? At hearing this, her mind went blank for the briefest of moments.

"Why… Would you… Why didn't you tell me before Luka asked me out?" Marinette asked, trying her best not to raise her voice.

"I wasn't aware of how I felt before then," Adrien argued gently. "Had I realized it sooner, I would have."

"So why are you telling me this now?! After all the pining, the struggle to speak, and despair of not getting a chance to spend time with you, now you decide to return my feelings?" Marinette asked, in complete shock.

"This isn't fair to either of us, especially you, I know." Adrien said, remorseful.

"It isn't fair at all!" Marinette began, her tears flowing. "Just when I found happiness with another…"

Adrien was about to continue on and apologize, Marinette looked him in the eye and began singing again.

"Well, it's been a while since I looked into your eyes," Marinette sang, her face unchanging. "And it's interesting that I just don't feel a thing for the so-called love of my life."

Marinette continued crooning as Adrien listened on. The feelings she had for him were a lot stronger than he thought.

He was surprised that she had not been akumatized, having been so hurt. On the other hand, she usually had good control of her emotions anyway, so it was not that big a shock.

"I let you into my soul… It took me so long to forget (all the little things we shared)." Marinette sang, tears streaking down her face.

That dance at Chloé's party. The time they went to see Emilie in the movies. The video game tournament, amongst other small memories that she and Adrien shared. They were flooding back, but all Marinette could glean was that she had wasted so much time.

"And now you want me after all of my pain, heartache and suffering? I was a fool, but that's in the past. So sorry, boy, but you had your chance!" Marinette declared in song.

It was true. She had been surprised and shocked that Adrien had started feeling the same way for her once she had moved on to Luka. And she was happy with him.

In short, Adrien had his shot, he was too late, and that was his fault.

There was no excuse for what he had done. And now they were both hurt. Hopefully not enough to be akumatized but hurt nonetheless.

Marinette sang, "See, I spent so many sleepless nights trying to block you from my mind. I was so convinced I'd die without you once upon a time."

Hearing Marinette pour her heart out to him was hurtful. He knew he had caused her a lot of pain in the past, but this was a whole new piece that he had yet to see. Adrien wanted to hug her, kiss her, make her feel better. Problem was, now that was Luka's job, not Adrien's. At this point, Adrien had lost that right.

"Now my eyes are open, and I can see that there is one who cares for me!" Marinette belted out, once again referring to Luka instead of him.

"And now you want me after all of my pain, heartache and suffering? I was a fool, but that's in the past. So sorry, boy, but you had your chance!" Marinette sang, ending the song for the moment.

Adrien had a sad look in his eyes as he looked at Marinette, realizing she was right.

"I'm sorry, Adrien… I just don't feel that way anymore." Marinette said, her bangs covering her eyes.

Adrien said, "Not your fault… I was the idiot who didn't notice what was around me until it was gone."

Marinette wiped away her tears before looking at Adrien. It was weak and said, but he was still smiling at her.

"Luka's… A great guy," Adrien forced out. He scratched the back of his head. "And I know he'll make you happy… I just wish that it were me instead. But that's what I get for wasting time."

Marinette failed to comment. She just avoided Adrien's gaze.

"I… Hope we can maintain our friendship…" Adrien said, once again forcing his words out.

Marinette nodded in agreement. Even though she wanted nothing more than to win Adrien over in the past, she was satisfied with friendship. She was with Luka now, and she had never been happier in her life.

She gave Adrien once last glance before turning away and running for the next class.

Adrien fell to the floor a bit. He decided to sulk for a little while before going to class. And for once, Plagg kept his mouth shut and it was not filled with cheese.


Once all had been wrapped up for the day, Adrien was waiting outside the door for his ride back home.

'Well, I came out with it, and even though I knew the result, it still hurt. But I deserve it. I already blew my chances with her being blinded by Ladybug.' Adrien thought.

The door opened and Marinette soon walked out. They made eye contact, but Marinette merely looked ahead. She took out her phone and looked at the time.

"Where is he?" Marinette muttered.

"Luka?" Adrien asked.

"Yeah," Marinette said, trying to diffuse the awkwardness. "He's going to be walking me home."

"...I see." Adrien quietly replied.

What else could he say? He had been shot down flat, it was something he brought upon himself, and he knew it. All he could do now was just hope for Marinette's happiness with Luka. As much as he wanted to be in Luka's shoes, he knew that he lost that right.

Just then, clouds started rolling in and it began to rain a little.

'This is just like that very day...' The two teens thought collectively.

They were thinking of the second day of their lives as superheroes, and when Marinette first started to crush on Adrien. It was raining that day, and Adrien had explained himself about the whole gum-on-the-seat incident. After that, he gave her his umbrella, and she had been smitten ever since.

But that was water under the bridge because now she had Luka.

"Hey, Angel!" A voice shouted and Marinette looked up and head to see the guitarist.

"Luka!" Marinette squealed, and she ran down to meet him. However, she tripped on the water puddle and stumbled and flailed.

"Whoa, I gotcha!" Luka said, as he caught Marinette in his arms. "You okay?"

"I'm fine now," Marinette said, standing up. "But for it to start raining... I should've packed an umbrella."

However, the water droplets stopped hitting her and was now only hitting the areas around her. Looking up, she was under the canopy of an umbrella. Luka's umbrella. She looked at her boyfriend and saw that he had one on hand.

"Then it's a good thing I have one big enough to shelter two people." Luka said, chuckling.

Marinette laughed along with her boyfriend and . Adrien could only watch. Of all the rotten luck, he had to forget an umbrella today, too. It was so unfair. On the other hand, the Gorilla should be there with the car soon.

"Shall we get going, Marinette?" Luka asked.

Marinette smiled, took Luka's free hand into her own, and giggled. The couple began to walk down the sidewalk and away from the school building.

Once they were out of sight, Adrien allowed himself to cry. It was hard to tell if the water on his face were really his tears, or just the rain. Maybe a bit of both? Either way, he got his karma.

'I wish you happiness... Princess...' Adrien thought, as he wiped his tears away.

Without a care in the world, Marinette and Luka were walking across the street to the bakery. Marinette's arms were around Luka's, his smile was making all of the rain go away.

Alya was right on Valentine's Day: ladybugs were a sign of good luck in romance. Sure, it did not turn out like how Marinette expected, but now that her luck in love had turned for the better, she was not about to let it run out.

"My parents want you over for dinner tonight," Marinette said, blushing shyly. "You in?"

"I'd love to stay for dinner. And besides, if your parents' cooking is as good as their baking, then I don't have any reason to say 'no.'" Luka said.

Once they were at Marinette's place and inside the building, Marinette shut the door. Luka closed the umbrella and then he leaned in for another kiss. Marinette did not hesitate to respond, and then the two Jagged Stone fans shared a kiss that was sweeter than any cookie.

Tikki peeked out of her bag and smiled. She was happy Marinette found love, and could only cheer on from her hiding spot.

'I'm so happy for you, Marinette!' Tikki thought.

Almost by magic, the sky cleared and a rainbow was formed over the Tom & Sabine Boulangerie Patisserie. The colored lights and sparkles seemed to sprinkle onto Luka and Marinette, whose lips were still locked.

'Come what may, I know I'll be happy with Luka! Just try to ruin it, Hawkmoth!' Marinette internally sang.

Luka hugged her close and the two bathed in the glory of the rainbow.


And that's all she wrote for "Swooning To The Music." No sequel for this story, nothing. I hope you all enjoyed it. I had a hard time figuring out an ending for this story. If Luka makes more appearances, then I think I'll have a better time writing Lukanette since I'll have more personality traits to go on.
