Miraculous New York: Heroes Uprising

A Day In The Life Of Eagle

It was quiet. Jessica Keyes and her new companion, her kwami, Liiri, slept peacefully. Then, the silence was disrupted by the ringing tone of the phone's alarm. Jessica tried to open her eyes tiredly as she rolled around in her bed. She was tired from burning the midnight oil the night before writing a tune she had in her head, which both Liiri and Aeon greatly advised her to not do.

Liiri however was the opposite. She woke up upon hearing the alarm and sat up on the pillow for a short while before flying up and towards Jessica who was still rolling about.

"Wake up, fledging, you need to get ready for school," Liiri cooed as she buzzed around Jessica's head.

"Another five minutes, Lir," Jessica groaned as she turned over.

"You know your mother doesn't like it when you are late," Liiri reminded as she nudged Jessica face. "C'mon, Jess, time to wake up."

"Alright... alright," Jessica said tiredly as she got up and sat on the bed dazingly for a while before reaching out towards her phone on the table and turned the alarm off.

"Gosh... so tired," Jessica said before yawning.

"Well, I told you-" Liiri said chuckling.

"Yeah, yeah, I know. But I didn't want to lose the tune, it was just such a good one," Jessica said.

"I'll admit though. You do have some talent for music," Liiri agreed as she remembered the tune. Jessica yawned before plopping back on the bed.

"Get up, Jess. Don't you know? The early bird catches the worm?" asked Liiri jokingly as she tried to pull Jessica up. "Or perhaps in this case, the early eagle catches the worm."

Jessica chuckled at Liiri's joke as she sat up on the edge of the bed. "Always humorous as usual, Liiri," Jessica said as she petted the kwami that was now sitting beside her. Still tired, Jessica got up and walked towards the bathroom, "I'm going to take a bath. If Aeon or my mom comes by and ask, tell them for me," Jessica said.

"Sure thing, Jess," Liiri chirped. "Don't fall asleep in there, I am you wouldn't want me to intrude on your privacy to wake you up," Liiri joked.

"Ha, very funny," Jessica chuckled sarcastically. "I won't."

Jessica got out of her room and walked towards the dinning room while Liiri floated behind her. When Jessica approached the table, her mother and Aeon's mom were already at the table chatting.

"Morning, Jess," Olympia Hill greeted after noticing the girl.

"Morning," Jessica said.

"Morning ladies," Liiri chirped brightly, making the blond superhero chuckle.

"Good morning little birdie," Olympia answered smilingly. "Gosh, she's cute, isn't she Barb?"

"So cute," Barbara agreed. "Full of energy. Perhaps she will influence Jess to stop brooding around and be more cheerful."

"I don't brood!" Jessica protested jokingly.

"Um... Kwami's like me don't have genders," Liiri corrected awkwardly.

"So... it?" asked Olympia confused.

"Well, I don't mind being referred as a female," Liiri answered as she continued munching on the biscuit in her grasp.

"It's you and Aeon's turn to patrol tonight," Barbara reminded as Olympia was having a conversation with the kwami. "Don't forget."
