For Robyn the Perpetually 15's oneshot challenge:

Must contain the words "somnambulance" or "somnambulant" (i.e. sleepwalking), "excruciating," and "unbalanced."

Somewhere within the story, someone must "yawn hugely."

500-700 words.

Lloyd Irving had found himself rather...somnambulant. It was understandable though, the boy had been so active that as he lay trying to sleep in Zelos' fancy mansion with the rest of the group, while the tree sprouted under Yuan's careful gaze, there was no way his body could match his mind's restful state.

"Lloyd?"Genis asked, yawning hugely. SUddenly finding himself unbalanced the one sleeping boy stumbled and found himself doing a faceplant.

"Ugh...what am I doing up?"He asked.

"You were just walking!"Genis yelled in surprise.

"Oh...must've been somnambulance."

"What?"Genis asked in shcok, surprised Lloyd knew a word he did not.

"I guess it's wierd, huh? But you never know what might happen Genis, it might happen to you one day!"Lloyd flashed him a chessy grin. Genis grew red in anger.

"It will to! Don't think diffrently because I'm a half-elf!"

"Relax Genis, it doesn't always happen!"

"What...? You mean you can actually not go through it?"

"Yep! I wish I didn't have to!"

"B-but! You have to!"

"I do?"Lloyd tilted his head to the side.

"Well that's what Raine said!"

"Huh? That's wierd...why would Professor Raine say that?"

"Don't say she lied Lloyd!"

"I dunno...maybe we should ask her in the morning?"Lloyd shrugged and headed back to bed.

"That was wierd...but, why would he say you didn't have to go through puberty?"
--------(Next morning)
"Hey Raine! I have a question."

"Yes Genis?"Raine asked, staring at her cooking with an intensity onl y matched by her study of ruins.

"Is it true not everyone goes through puberty?"Raine whirled around in shock, her blue eyes wide.

"Why would you think that?!"

"Well...last night I caught Lloyd up, and I asked him why, he said it was because of puberty and that not everyone goes through it!"

"Hmm..."Raine's eyes narrowed,"I'll have a talk him about this."Genis nodded, feeling slightly guilty for possibly getting his friend in trouble.
Just then Lloyd walked in, yawning and rubbing the back of hid head.

"Man, that smells excruciating!"

"Lloyd Irving, I need to talk with you!"

"Oh, is this about last night?"Lloyd asked, looking over at Genis.

"Yes, now come here, Genis...I supose you can cook breakfast."

"There is a goddess!"Zelos' voice could be heard through the ceiling along with several sighs of relief.

"Come along Lloyd, I'll deal with him later."

"Eep!"

"Okay professer."

"Now Gen-"

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier Professor! But I didn't want you guys to know!"

"Now Lloyd it's a normal part of every adults life, though I was sur eyu'd already go through it."

"So...Zelos, Regal, Sheena, and you have all gone through it?"

"Yes."

"Oh thank goddess I thought I was the only one sleep walking!"

"What! Sleep walking?!"

"See ya later professer!"Lloyd ran off.

"Lloyd Irving! Get back here!"
