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

Pixelator: Part 2

"Ah yes of course those two will be...Gophers. I've got a job for you two already," André tells us and we give a questioning look, Alya asking "Gopher? What's that?" "I'm guessing it's as bad as trash duty," Mari comments sending a glare at Chloé. André leads Marinette and I up to Jagged Stone's suite where we're properly introduced to his manager Penny.

"Mr. Stone is going to need a new pair of shades for tonight's gig: red white, and blue with two large Eiffel towers on them, and then here is a list of things he also requires. Can you get all this done for him?" She asks and André nods. "Of course, we can Marinette and (y/n) here are our gophers, they'll take care of that for you," We give the mayor a confused look and he explains what our job is. "A gopher is an employee who goes for anything a customer needs. Anything at all! So go ahead...Goph!" Mari and I exchange looks before I look down at the list of things Jagged requested, most stuff could be picked up at the market. The hard part was to figure out what to do about the shades.

"Don't worry about the shades I'll take care of it, you can get the stuff on the list," Marinette reassures me as we head out. With that, I get to it and go out and buy everything Jagged needed before heading back to find I had gotten here before Marinette. I head up to the suite and call out to Penny or Jagged to let them know their stuff was here but it appeared they were out. Shrugging I placed the bag on a nearby table and sat down, pulling out my notebook to work on my next song.

Only a few notes in my notebook are snatched out of my hand and I look up to see Jagged as he asks "What's this?" "M-Mr. Stone! You're back! That would be my notebook sir it contains all my music," I answer as he flips through the pages and asks "You wrote all this?" "Yes! I've actually played and posted my songs for others to hear along with some covers too." "Can I hear some?"

My eyes widen in shock. The Jagged Stone wants to listen to my music! I fumble with my phone for a minute before pulling up a song and watching Jagged anxiously as he listens to the music. When it ends he strokes his beard in thought before giving me a smile. "That's some real talent you have there (y/n). You should partake in the contest I'll be announcing soon." "C-contest sir?" I ask confused and he hands me a flyer. Jagged was going to hold a contest for musicians to share their original music and the prize was to write and compose a song with Jagged Stone that would be added to his next album! "I...I'd love to! May I have these signed Mr. Stone? I'd love an autograph and have a friend who became a musician because of you and I know he'd love an autograph."

I'm given back the signed flyer and another autograph when Marinette comes in holding a paper back, presumably with the shades Jagged wanted. She hands them over and I look at the shades confused, they weren't even close to what he had asked for. Don't tell me she went to a street vendor and bought regular shades with paper Eiffel towers glued to the sides...

"Where are the Eiffel towers?" Jagged asks after examining the glasses. "Um here," Marinette points to the small towers. "This is a joke, right? What are you doing trying to ruin my career?" He asks angrily and Mari shrugs stating "But Mr. Stone the glasses you want don't exist."

"Do I look like I care? Just get me those sunglasses!" He shoves her out of the room before dismissing me politely. When I step outside I see Mari staring at the sunglasses. "Come on Mari, I'll help you, I'm sure those sunglasses exist somewhere, let's get creative if we have to," Her eyes widen and she gives me a smile. "Of course! Come on, I'm gonna need your help!" She drags me out of the hotel, Chloé soon calling out to us.

"Failed as gophers already? Not surprised. Don't let the door hit you on the way out!" We head straight to Marinette's room where she starts rummaging around for something when after a few minutes she pulls out a pair of pink sunglasses. "(y/n) can you grab me some markers, scissors, and cardboard?" I nod and grab the supplies for her and we get to work making the coolest pair of shades I've seen. It took about an hour but we finally got back to the hotel where Marinette proceeds to call out for Adrien and Chloé. "Ugh, I bet those two have gone off together fun. Hmph! And now I'm here all alone without Adrien..."
