amrio is pissed, he thought about the motions of yesterday afternoon, the end of his sister's audition.

jiji was the last person to audition, she had the biggest smile on her face as she did so, she was auditing for the role of tikki. jiji, rio and their cousins suzanne and emile never met tikki and plagg, though their grandparents would always tell them stories about them. plagg is chat noir's kwami, he is black and has the features of a cat, he is lazy and loves eating, especially camembert cheese. plagg annoyed their grandfather to bits but based on the smile on his face as he told them stories about plagg, rio could tell he cared about him dearly.

jiji's favourite kwami was of course tikki, she loved it when her grandmother told her stories about being ladybug. jiji is practically her grandmother's biggest fan.

"hi, i'm jiji agreste and i'm auditioning for the role of tikki!" rio chuckled at how young his sister sounded, she's only two years younger then him, making her fifteen- the same age as dott, camille, natalia and mikyung- four of the girls who had auditioned before her. whenever she sounded so much more young, the joy and excitement in her voice equal to one of a child on christmas morning.

"here you are alone, and you deserve it
your friends have turned to stone
and that's on you
you had a cause to serve but did you serve it?
or did you see yourself in a way that wasn't true?"

the song that jiji had chosen to audition with was my once upon a time, it's an older song that came out forty-six years ago in a movie called descendants three, the song was the perfect choice and really made jiji stand out.

when her audition was finish, rio engulfed his younger sister in a huge hug, "jin you were amazing!"

"i know right? they would have to be crazy not to cast me as tikki," jiji said as she flipped her head over her shoulder jokingly, "thanks for showing, i know you don't exactly agree with this musical."

"i don't agree with this musical for me, for you it's an amazing opportunity and i'm going to be here for you every step of it."

she rolled her eyes, "how come you are such a great big brother?"

"uncle louis told me all of dad's secrets."

because jiji's audition was last, people started heading out as she finished, whispering and looking at rio, undoubtedly wondering why the grandson of adrien and marinette agreste wasn't auditioning. jiji had audition, she had annie and she's not even in highschool but living just across the street from the school and being regularly babysat by dott came in handy for the seven-year-old wanna be actress.

"what about amrio?" a person from the crowd asked. he heard 'yeahs' and nods from people around them, he felt trapped.

"amrio said he isn't auditioning," dimitri told their peers which only received boos.

rio sinked into the chair, he knew that if he got up he would just draw attention to him, he felt bad for his aunt, uncle and dad, if this is what him and his cousins have to through he didn't even want to know what his aunt emma, uncle louis and dad had to go through. what his grandfather had to go through.

"amrio!" one of the girls in jiji's class pointed at rio, the whole room of fifty/sixty people turned to him, expecting him. "amrio," the people started cheering though to him it sounded more like demanding.

he scrunched his hands in and out of a fist, making his own sort of anxiety ball, rio always got claustrophobic in large crowds of people, especially when they are yelling at him. "rio, i know you don't want to audition but i don't think they are going to leave you alone until you do."

"it's not simple to say
most days I don't recognise me,"

he started singing, his voice quiet, the hold room going silent as he did so. rio looked at his lap, not even needing to see to be able to tell that every single person in the room had their eyes on him. rio chose to sing she used to be mine because it is a comfort song to him, he isn't an abused pregnant woman but he still found a way to relate to the song, to feeling trap and losing yourself because of it.

he ignored the whispers and voices around him and just focused on keeping his voice still, he isn't auditioning, he is shutting them up.

"who be scared just enough
who can hurt but
who learns how to toughen up when she's buried
and gets used by a man who can't love
and then she's get stuck and be scared"

this section is rio's favourite part of the song, the part that he found himself drawn to. he ran his hand through his hair as he saw jiji smiling at him proudly, "you are doing this for you, not them."

"she is messy but she's nice
she is lonely most of the time
she is all of this and baked into a beautiful pie
she is gone but she used to be mine."

when the song ended the room broke into praise though he didn't need their approval. "amrio-"

he fled the room the second someone said his name, feeling as if he had betrayed himself, he had audition and he knew that there was no way he wouldn't get chosen.

natalia fixed her hair as she held her camera still, natalia put on an excited smile and went live, "hey miraculousers, in exactly ten minutes i am going to be sharing the cast of the miraculous: the musical. so far we know that suzanne agreste is going to be manon chamack aka puppeteer and mr bustier has been casted as his grandmother caline bustier aka zombizou, though it hasn't been confirmed by fleur bouchard it is strongly believed that esme bianchi will be casted as lila rossi and her younger sister as gabriel agreste aka hawkmoth."

it's only eight : fifty, meaning that school doesn't open for another ten minutes, natalia waited out the front with her best friend odette umair and her siblings, marlène and august, she has another brother but he's too young for school, his name is felix. something that you may have realised is that each of her siblings names are based on people from her grandparents life- her great grandmother, adrien agreste's cousin and baby august- natalia always found the name choices odd but the again her name is inspired by mayura.

one thing she always questioned was why was her and her siblings named after people their grandparents' knew when her mother and uncle are named piper and james? why weren't they named after people.

odette played with her afro black hair as she talked to natalia's live, "natalia will undeniably get the role of alya césaire, who else deserves the role of rena rouge then a césaire?"

"césaire-lahiffe," natalia corrected her, "and i don't think i deserve to be rena because we share blood, i just think i would do her justice but i'm sure that whoever is chosen- whether it's me or not- will be amazing."

odette gave natalia a look that said, 'girl- what are you doing?!" natalia shook her head, she knew what odette was doing and she didn't like it. though she loves her best friend to bits she can admit odette can be rather manipulative and there is no way she will let her manipulate her miraculousers.

"that's all for now, stay tuned for the live that will take place in less then seven minutes and until then, stay miraculous!"

natalia stopped the live stream and then turned to odette, "what was that about?"

"what do you mean?" odette and natalia have been best friends for about two girls though to them it felt like for so much longer. they had met through their grandparents, nino lahiffe and félix graham de vanily, they are both in the film business, nino is a director, félix is a screenplay writer. natalia and odette first met when it was bring your grandchild to work day, nino brought her, marlène and her cousin grace. natalia was bored out of her mind that day and then she met odette.

"don't say i deserve the role, what happens if i don't get the role, everyone will hate whoever does. i don't want a poor girl to be harassed because of me."

odette rolled her eyes, "right, sorry."

camille had arrived to school late, something that she only does in once in a blue moon, her outfit was quickly put together, her hair thrown in a high ponytail and her makeup unexisting. the dress she was wearing had a pretty marigold pattern on it and to match her flower aesthetic she wore a pair of white rose earrings.

camille walked up to caterina who was gleaming, "guess who's playing hawkdaddy?"

"oh my god! cat congrats, i'm so proud of you," camille gave caterina an excited hug before pulling away and crunching up her face in disgust, "hawkdaddy?"

"that's what the girls call him, plus that's his role, hawkmoth and adrien's dad."

"i know that but hawkdaddy sounds kinda weird..."

caterina laughed, "i know. it sounds like gabriel agreste was a dilf or something."

"dilf?"

caterina shook her head, "sometimes i forget how innocent you are." camille racked her brain trying to figure out what a dilf was but came up with no hypothesis. caterina chuckled, "guess who got the role of her grandmother?"

"no way," camille grabbed out her phone and searched www.miraculousblogfrançais.com on her phone aka the miraculousblog. strolling through the blog she found the cast list.

(reminder understudies and side characters are still open)

though camille didn't want to be cast as her grandmother she guessed it wasn't the worse thing in the world, she doesn't hate her grandmother, she actually gets along better with her grandmother then her parents. when reading marinette and adrien's biography she learnt a couple things about her grandmother, about how yes she was a bully she but she was also just a kid who tried getting better but no one let her, they saw her at her worst and when she wanted to improve herself no one let her.
