Night of the Sleepwalking Canary
It was a quiet, peaceful night at the Watchtower as everyone was sound asleep in his or her cabins. Everyone that is… except for a certain Atlantean monarch. Quiet as a church mouse, Mera exited from the elevator and tiptoed down the hallway.
"Well, so much for my over-protective husband to tell me about the curfew. But, since I am the queen, and since he isn't here and off on a mission…" Mera ranted before pausing upon standing in front of the doorway to Helena and Dinah's cabin, where Mera could instantly hear the girls snoring. A mischievous grin formed on Mera's face as she quietly opened the door.
The queen couldn't help but silently snicker as Helena and Dinah snored and dreamed, all snuggled in their twin beds. Helena was asleep, snoring softly, a plush sheep in her left arm, and a pint of drool forming on her pillow. Dinah was also snoozing, sucking her thumb in her sleep while clutching her childhood pink blanket in her right arm. "Never knew Dinah was this much childlike." Mera flatly commented before diving for cover as Dinah woke up.
"huh?" Dinah mumbled sleepily, not knowing Mera was hiding under the cabinet. The pretty blonde rubbed her eyes, yawned, laid back down on her bed, closed her eyes and drifted back to sleep, sucking her thumb happily. Mera exhaled in relief while Dinah slept.
"… Oh, Mommy… I really want a dollhouse… it'd go great…. In my nursery… mm, place it over by my crib" Dinah mumbled in her sleep, as Mera stifled a silent giggle as Helena groaned in annoyance, placing her pillow over her head while Dinah continued babbling.
"Dinah, I know you enjoy talking about your mom while you're sleeping, but for the love of all things that is mature and appropriate for all young females, zip it!" Helena quietly snarled. A half-asleep Dinah arose from her bed, started walking out the room, unknowingly crushing Mera's left hand.
"Ouch!" Mera winced in pain before gasping as the sleepwalking Canary continued sauntering like a zombie. "Dinah! For God's sake, get back here!" Mera hissed. Having had enough, Helena finally rose up and swatted Mera with her pillow.
"What the… MERA! What the bloody hell are you DOING?!" Helena gasped, shocked as she throttled Mera like crazy. "I don't know. But Dinah's sleepwalking, we need to get her up before she causes chaos!" Mera squawked weakly as Helena rolled her eyes, releasing her grip. "Urgh, alright, alright." Helena snarled, rubbing her sore forehead before letting out a loud yawn "I really need my beauty sleep"
"we can handle that later, now lets vamoose!" Mera ordered, hoisting a near exhausted Helena on her shoulders as they rushed into the café, where they found Dinah sleeping on top of a table, sucking her thumb. The only odd thing is… her upper clothes were hanging on the coat rack.
"Oh my God!" Helena spat, amazed. "Ick! Disgusting!" Mera retched, spitting. The two crept up on the slumbering pretty bird. Dinah rolled over and snored when…
the next morning…
Dinah was still asleep in her bed when the alarm clock rang. Finally aroused from her angelic slumber, the pretty bird rubbed her sleepy eyes and let out a yawn, smiling as the sun shone through her windows. "Gosh, what a great morning!" Dinah sighed in happiness, turning to see if Helena was awake yet. Dinah then smiled sweetly as her roommate was sound asleep, snoring softly, clutching her teddy bear. "hmm… where have I seen this before?" Dinah teased, as Helena snorted before rolling over. Gently, Dinah tucked her comrade in and stroked her elegant black hair. "sweet dreams, pretty girl. Have a nice snooze." Dinah cooed, kissing her forehead
