Luna collapsed onto her bed. "That sure was a long day," she said.
"And we have a brand new one tommorow!" Leafy exclaimed.
Luna looked at Leafy with a surprised face. "Do you not get tired?" She asked curiously.
Leafy stared straight at Luna and smiled. "Oh, no. I am literally dead tired right now."
A crash sounded from the bathroom, and Luna ran over to investigate, although Leafy dozed off despite the noise. It took Luna a few seconds to spy a black cat sitting on the counter, blending in with the darkness. She was adjusting a hat on her head. She spied Luna in the mirror and turned around. "Oh hello," the cat said quietly, her blue eyes flashing in the darkness.
"What are you doing here?" Luna asked.
"Oh, uh, hi," the cat said nervously, giving a shy smile. "I was supposed to come here for school..." the cat said slowly. "It said classes start at 10. I'm not late, am I?" She said, checking a clock on the counter.
"Umm..." Luna said. "The first day's already over," she said.
"But that's-" the cat said, confused. Then she looked up at Luna and her eyes widened. "Wait. 10 AM?"
