Miraculous New York: Heroes Uprising

Elements of Chaos

Jessica was pacing back and forth impatiently in the lift as it went up. It was a Sunday, and she was supposed to hang out with Emily, one of her friends. The girl was already late enough as she woke up late due to the patrol shift the night before which took quite a toll on her.

"There you are, for a minute, I thought you got caught up in another attack," Emily said as Jessica stood at her door looking at the girl, who was panting. "Been waiting for you for quite a while now."

"Sorry, schedule shifted," Jessica panted. "Let's go."

"Alright, well, I know you are eager to see David," Emily teased, changing the topic.

Jessica eyes shot up upon the mention of David. "Wait... what do you mean that I'm eager to see David?"

"Uhmm... did you short circuit your brain? The group is hanging out today? Did you forget that?" asked Emily mockingly.

"Wait, I didn't know you called the boys, let's go now!" Jessica eyes widened as Emily mentioned David.

"Alright, calm down Jess," chuckled Emily as Jessica dragged the blonde out of her apartment.

Meanwhile, Aaron and David where already at the café, sitting at a table casually. David was looking around as Aaron was sketching as usual.

"Hey, can you chill bro? The girls should be here soon," Aaron said after noticing that David was unsettled.

"Yeah, there are usually earlier than us," David said.

"You worry too much," Aaron scoffed. "They will be fine. Oh, they there are," Aaron chuckled as he noticed their friends. "Waving at the two girls, catching their attention.

"Hey Em, hey Jess," David said as the girl joined the two boys at the table.

"Oh, thanks David," Jessica said as he handed her the menu.

"Where is Aeon anyway?" Aaron asked curiously, noticing the lack of their statistical friend. And why on earth are you girls so late today? I thought you were always the one to be biting us off for being late?"

"Jessica had a last-minute change in her schedule," Emily chuckled as she patted Jessica's shoulder

"Yeah," Jessica affirmed. "And Aeon, she is at home, not feeling too well," Jessica lied, knowing that Aeon is spending time with her mom, Olympia.

"Well glad you two could make it then," David said smilingly as the two girls took their seats.

"Oh, you two haven't ordered anything yet?" asked Emily as she noticed the menu on the table.

"Nah, was waiting for you two," Aaron shrugged casually as he set his drawing tab and pencil aside.

"That is quite kind of you, Aaron, and I thought you are the impatient one," Emily chuckled.

Aaron scoffed and said "Oh relax Emily, besides, we agreed that it's your turn to pay" Aaron said chuckling.

"Ah, did we?" asked Emily purposely.

"Pretty sure we did Em," Jessica added

"Ah dang it," Emily groaned. "I don't think I brought enough cash on me Jess," Emily sighed.

"And you are gonna borrow money from me again huh?" asked Jessica knowingly.

"Well, you're loaded right?" asked Emily patting her friend's shoulder.
