Luna woke up after a nap. She'd been sleeping a lot these days. The doctors said something about her body being tired and needing to recover her strength, but she still didn't quite understand why she had to take so many naps in a day. She found a note left for her, saying she needed to go to her NEST club meeting.

She sat up and pushed the blankets off. She smoothed out her summer dress and pulled her wheelchair closer. Technically, Luna should be calling a nurse for this, but now that there were several things Luna was no longer able to do on her own, she was determined to be able to do as many things as she could by herself, including this. She reached to arrange her bed to its height was level with the chair. She braced herself and moved her body in the chair, and then grabbed a hold of her legs and swung them onto the footrests. All this done, she wheeled herself to the mirror and fingered through her hair to make it look less bedhead before exiting the room.

She wheeled down the hall, ignoring the sympathetic and pitying looks. A few nurses offered to push her to wherever she needed to go, but Luna smiled and told them she could make it on her own. She [i]would[/i] make it on her own.

At last, she wheeled into room A3-214. [color=6ecff6]"Oh, am I late? I'm sorry."[/color]
