                                            >green didnt even realize she was holding it tight to her chest, swivelling back and forth on her stool

                                            >which prompted her to semi-casually lower it down under her fronthooves

                                            >"its really pretty here, do you ponies get a lot of tourists?" green tried to get Oasis talking

                                            >"yeah, we get skiers and snowboarders on a good winter. lots of nature-y types, you can spend moons in the woods up there if you want to..."

                                            >green lowered her head and took a nice, long, but subtle snoof of the pillow as she went on

                                            >"...and in the summer there's ponies who like to ride their motorcycles up in the mountains..."

                                            >not always a bad thing.

                                            >Docko lit up suddenly

                                            >"you came for the perfect weekend! theres a fesitval going on at the"

                                            >BRRRRRRRRING

                                            >oh yeah, she's on the clock

                                            >"whoops! lemme go see what's up, make yourself at home greenie!" oasis said in her singsongy voice and left the room

                                            >green tuned her ears

                                            >very rarely there was a stir from one of the outpatient beds, underneath a couple other ponies working in the lab next to the office

                                            >not that they care about the interloper, who was now on her lonesome

                                            >perfect opportunity get her snoot all over that pillow


                                            >green was sat half on her rump/mostly upright so the bad leg could stick forward with the heel of her hoof resting on the floor

                                            >it was bearable, but not optimal for comf

                                            >so she tried to scoot her rump back so she could lay forward, requiring her to hoist the braced leg up and horizontal on the stool

                                            >her hoof hanging off the front side

                                            >and the final test, green tried to sink her chest down to the pillow so she could rest her head

                                            >her head barely made it, at the cost of her right glute and hip getting stretched to full extension

                                            >ok, front ways wont work, and this stools too small for a full sploot, lets try sidesleeping

                                            >green rotated on her right side, trying to rest her bad leg like a log

                                            >although as she brought the good leg up to her chest, an involuntary movement under the brace caused her bad knee to electrify to life

                                            >"ahhhhHHHHHH! AH ah ah.." green yelled out, but stifled herself to not alert anypony while she frantically clamored back into a manageable position

                                            >celestia wont even let her have a proper nap

                                            >you dont realize how big, heavy, and inconveniently shaped a leg actually is until you cant bend it

                                            >lets try the other side

                                            >bend the left leg so that her calf rests right in the crease of her right knee

                                            >theeeeeere we go

                                            >now green can wrap her hooves around that pillow and plow her nose into it

                                            >snooooooooooooooooof

                                            >*mmmmmmph*

                                            >morning smells so nice...

                                            >feels so nice...

                                            >glorys chest floof perfectly enveloping her head and ears

                                            >and suddenly greens floating above the street, the gelatinous air streaming by her and sending little pulses into her flapping wings

                                            >"Greenie? Green FN?"

                                            >"guuuornee greenie"

                                            >"huh?"

                                            >"i said good morning greenie"

                                            >oh... greens in morning's lab

                                            >...and not trotting along a balcony at the top of a 50 story building...

                                            >...and morning's back from snipping the plants...

                                            >...who kissed her forehead 5 seconds ago and is now tending to the 3rd and 4th stories of plants on the wall

                                            >"i dont think ive ever seen a mare sleep that hard in 15 minutes"

                                            >oh yeah, Oasis is still here, plus a new stallion observer in a labcoat

                                            >"you need to be careful with her, shell find a way to sleep anywhere and everywhere"

                                            >Morning Glory shot green a flirty side eye

                                            >the pillow was a psyop all along

                                            >"yeah, good morning... sorry i uh *YAWWWN* didnt mean to pass out" green tried to politely address the ponies in the room, looking a little sheepish

                                            >her head still felt like it was swimming through mud

                                            >"no worries, im happy youre getting your rest!" Docko gave her a big ole smile back

                                            >"so yeah i gave the patient a dose of [drug name] but then her [something sciency] levels kept spiking and i was like 'oook, did you eat any sugar?' and she kept being like 'nonono' and i talked to her husband and she was like 'oh yeah she ate a whole loaf of cornbread'"

                                            >"lemme guess..."

                                            >"old mare crabapple?" both oasis and morning said in unison

                                            >"so *now* i gotta make some [some chemical name] to counter that because she thinks that corn bread 'isnt real sugar'-"

                                            >"speaking of, scoot over green"

                                            >yeah let her just-
