This is all one memory! There's some cuts, but it's basically a day-in-the-life.
✷ Jolting awake from a nightmare in her own bed, in human form. It's very, very early morning. She takes some deep breaths, and transforms into a cat-sized dragon to pad quietly to Kit's room and clamber up into his bed. He only kinda wakes up, mumbling groggily and snuggling in close. She falls back asleep curled against his chest.
✷ Kissing Kit on the cheek as they both rush off in the morning; him to his shift at the hospital, and her a modelling shoot at a park in the city. It's a good fun time and everyone at the shoot is friendly and happy to be there! Her human act around these people is impeccable.
✷ UH OH SUDDENLY A ??? DRAGON ??? drops down from the sky to RAZE THE CITY. It's a big ol' black lizard-y wyvern-type with lots of scales, spikes and fiery breath, and a red glow where its heart is. Everyone cries out, OH SHIT IT'S AN ANOMALY, RUN. All of the normies flee for cover; Miya pretends to, but she actually just ducks away to transform into her ""hero"" guise: Unisonya the dragon!
The Prisma Knight — another hero — appears shortly afterwards. They work together to draw the wyvern away from the city proper and do battle against it. It's very dramatic and high-octane, and while the Knight still isn't a super fantastic badass fighter by any means, he's better than he used to be. They realise that its heart is a Feather and do a fancy combination magic attack targeting it directly. It takes a few hits, but then ...
The red glow cracks; the dragon dissolves into ethereal sparkles; and all that's left is a fancy-looking mystical crystalline feather, glowing brightly. The Knight touches it with his sword, the glow gets even brighter … and suddenly both the glow and the feather vanish without a trace. A crowd of hundreds of spectators cheer. News reporters are there, too, including a couple of helicopters. Unisonya offers a cheerful apology, sorry we can't stay to chat this afternoon!
And the heroes just. Vanish, leaving the crowd in awe. Which they can both see because they're just invisible lol. They quietly skedaddle out of there to detransform in privacy.
✷ The rest of the shoot is postponed until the next day. Miya rushes home to her recording studio (aka their garage conversion) for a LIVESTREAM where she plays a team-based battle royale game … except then her viewers challenge her to SING THROUGH IT so now it's a musical battle royale. It's very very silly and her singing is amazing, even when she switches out the actual lyrics for commentary about the game.
✷ After the stream, she does some video editing, then films a workout routine vlog that was apparently the most highly requested video for two months in a row. And then she has a lot of boring telephone calls with her modelling agency about modelling things. It's busy. She's busy.
✷ On the way to meet up with Kit for dinner, she: catches a runaway dog and reunites it with its owner, saves an old lady from being hit by a car, and drops a wannabe mugger in the river. Dinner is fish and chips on a park bench and it's delicious.
TIMESKIP TO LATE EVENING
✷ Miya — still in her human form — and Kit are at a remote beach somewhere, and they're not alone! There's Kit's brother Ryou, a teenager called Robyn, AKA the hero Papillon; an even younger teenager called Leo; a very normal-looking woman in her mid-twenties called Charlie, who brought sandwiches and refreshments for everybody; this guy, named Nil; and an extremely handsome tiefling-esque space elf with cute lil curved horns, a tail startlingly similar to Miya's own except lavender, and a pair of small wings … everyone calls him Zyl or Zylneiros, except Nil, who mockingly calls him My Prince.
They're here to do COMBAT TRAINING — the threat posed by "The Witch and her Generals" is growing by the day, and they need to be prepared. They start with Robyn eagerly demanding to spar with Miya, which she agrees to go along with. Miya is the easy victor and she is very careful and gentle ok.
Leo is working with Robyn to correct her martial arts form; Zyl and Kit pair up to spar with swords and talk about how Kit can best make use of the different elemental magics he wields; Ryou and Charlie eat sandwiches and argue about when it is and isn't okay to punch people in a colourful variety of ways. Charlie is kind of a goody two-shoes but accepts that sometimes you have to defend yourself or others ... very, very, very carefully-
Leaving Miya and Nil standing twelve feet apart, both a little tense, a little still, their postures a mirror of each other. WHEW BOY. The spar starts off kinda slow, kinda tentative, with some banter — but then he teasingly calls her "Champion" and both of them stop holding back at all. IT'S. KINDA BRUTAL!! And though it seems for a second like Miya might lose, she turns the tables. When he's the one on the ground, his the tip of his own blade resting against his throat, she says, very evenly, "Don't call me that."
… But then she throws the sword off to the side and offers him a hand up, which he grumbles about but accepts. It's … probably fine?
✷ They all have a sunset picnic of sandwiches and chocolate bars, and then, one at a time, hop into a hole in reality to go home. Kit and Miya are the last, and the memory ends with them both flopping on top of his bed, fully clothed and exhausted.
Notes - There are some fairly distinct differences in her voice, tone, and body language depending on who she's interacting with! They're all English and speaking English but if they were an anime:
She'd use boku with Kit or the hero team... except with Nil! With him she'd use ore. As the dragon hero Unisonya she'd use watashi, and as the YouTuber she'd use atashi. This is very stupid and I'm sorry.
Basically she presents herself very differently depending on her audience at any given moment.
