Lady Lakota vs White Feather (Aftermath): Recovery

Layla's eyes opened wide and her head turned to where the nurse's voice is. "Uh-oh! I guess you better head back before the nurse comes around the corner."

Tatsuki's expression changed to a frightened one as the nurse makes her way towards the room. "No! I don't want to take a needle!" Tatsuki jumps out of her chair and mindlessly walks around the room looking to hide somewhere. "Hide me!"

Layla sighed and was unamused when Tatsuki was trying to hide. "Tatsuki, everyone is scared of the needle when it comes to the nurse, but that needle is important in order to help us feel better."

"Eh..." Tatsuki stops moving as she looks at Layla with her frightened face but then a few seconds later she looks down with a defeated expression with her eyes closed. "Hai..."

Tatsuki goes to sit back down as the nurse come in the room. "There you are Tatsuki! Its time for her shot." The nurse says as Tatsuki has an awfully nervous expression as she looks at Layla or Janet asking for help without speaking.

Janet watched the little girl freaking out over her shot with a sympathetic smile on her face. She could understand why the girl didnâ€t want it—it did sting, and Janet herself had been afraid of needles when she was younger. But Layla was right—without shots like that, Tatsuki was not going to be getting better any time soon.

“Itâ€ll be okay,” Janet said, trying to cheer the girl up. She didnâ€t really know what else to say.

Layla smiled in an effort to reassure Tatsuki. "Just like when we were little, just one pinch for one second and it's over before you know it."

Tatsuki tries to stay calm even after Layla and Janet tried to reassure the athlete as she grips her chair tightly as the nurse walks up to her and lifts up Tatsuki's sleeve to expose her bare arm as she stick Tatsuki with the shot. "OW!!" Tatsuki shouts out as the nurse presses the shot into her and pulls the needle out as Tatsuki grabs and rubs where she was shot with her eyes tightly shut with tears building up.

Layla watched as Tatsuki got her shot and says, "Tatsuki, don't grab that arm! Let the nurse handle that." She would rise up and got off her bed to hold Tatsuki's hand to help her be calm.

Tatsuki's arms was pulled away by Layla and the Native American girl holds her hand gently to help her remain calm as the nurse cleans the spot and patches it up with a bandage to protect it. "Nurse can I stay here for a while?" The athlete asks as the nurse thinks about it for a while. "You can, but be sure to get back to your room soon. Wouldn't want your friend to get lonely in there huh?" The Nurse replies as she means GreatForce who was hospitalized with Tatsuki and they share the same room. "Okay nurse, and GreatForce-san can live without me for a while." Tatsuki says as the nurse just simply nods and leaves the room after she disposes the needle and Tatsuki sighs in relief. "Phew..."

Layla would hug Tatsuki to try and make her feel better. "You did it, Tatsuki. See it wasn't that long. Just a pinch. But next time, try not to overreact as much."
