A Gentle First Wiggle

Everything was quiet until a warm flutter stirred inside my chest. I blinked, pausing to let the bright white surroundings settle into view. Beside me stood two tall figures, brightly colored and very still. Carefully, I wiggled my left foot, surprised to feel it actually move! I tilted my head, gently leaning closer to the shiny white boot of the pink figure next to me, and softly rested my little paw against its glossy edge. It was cool and solid. A calm sense of wonder filled me—I can really move on my own it would not use my melody.
