Summary: It's Gaila's Independence Day.
She'd been celebrating it for years, but she's not asked about it until she gets a roommate who's actually familiar with other cultures.
"Gaila? What's this?" Uhura wonders, eyeing the decorations in their room. "I didn't think there were any Orion holidays today."
Gaila's grin is wide. "It's Independence Day."
Uhura stares at her. Gaila waits patiently, because if anyone can figure it out, it's Uhura.
Her grin widens when Uhura smiles and says, "Can I join you?"
And because she's here at Starfleet--a place that lets her be who she wants to be--Gaila says, "Yes."
