A/N: So sorry about the screw up here, hopefully I didn't lose any potential readers because of it.

In Gallows Manor, Natsu and Gray's longing for sleep was forced to wait, courtesy of Death the Kid, and his sudden decision to give them new outfits.

"A sleeve on one side and a tattoo on the other, honestly, how can you stand it?" he had said to Natsu, taking his measurements. "And you," he threw a glance over at Gray, who had to no surprise stripped naked a few minutes after arriving at the mansion, prompting Liz and Patty to walk out in embarrassment and hysterics respectively. "The nudity is obnoxious but it wouldn't be a problem if not for the guild mark and scars on your chest. And you could have been so symmetrical," he said with a sigh in the Ice-Make wizard's direction, who suddenly felt rather self-conscious.

"Do we really need to wear this nerd gear?" Natsu groaned, removing his vest and glaring at the suit picked out for him by Kid.

"It's best for classes if you guys don't stand out. Also, it's my house, so my rules. And the only rule is-"

"Symmetry," the wizards grunted in unison. It hadn't taken long to notice Kid's obsession. Happy had only been allowed in the house on the condition that he keep his tail dead centre at all times, and the Exceed was currently snoozing on the couch, long bored of the young Grim Reaper's wardrobe.

"Okay you two, try those on, and if I approve we can all go to bed. We'll look at hair tomorrow." The boys changed into their matching black suits, vaguely similar to Kid's, with grumbling resentment, and stood before Kid's scrutinising eyes. Said eyes proceeded to light up. "Perfect, just perfect! I've transformed slobs into handsome gentleman all with the help of symme-"

His monologue was abruptly brought to an end by a sudden punch in the face by Natsu. Kid crumpled into a happy, symmetry-filled mild concussion, and Natsu and Gray changed back to their normal clothes, or lack thereof, and, stopping only to pluck Happy from the sofa, went to bed.

Meanwhile at Maka and Soul's apartment, Erza was making herself at home.

"Your cat is really cute," Erza remarked, doting over the purple feline on her lap.

"She's, uh, a bit odd," Maka warned, looking apprehensively at Erza and Blair from the kitchen.

"I think she's lovely," Erza said, continuing to stroke the cat.

"Maka, you should have guests like her over more often," Blair purred under all the affection. She proceeded to hop off of Erza's lap, leaving Titania looking devastated, before transforming to her human form. "It was nice meeting you, Erza, but I've got a date! Seeya round!" Blair waved, throwing on a jacket and leaving the apartment.

"Have a good night," Erza called after her, before noticing Maka staring at her. "What's wrong?"

"Blair just talked, and turned into a human, in front of you. And you didn't react at all."

Erza shrugged. "I've seen stranger cats."

Before Maka could press that point, Soul exited his bedroom in his pyjamas. "If you wanna get changed for bed Erza, you can use my room," he offered, yawning.

"No thanks, I'll just get changed here," she replied. As she stood up, Soul gaped in shock that this woman was going to undress right in front of him. He was sure his nosebleed was completely unrelated though. Cool guys see naked girls all the time, remember? To Soul's immense (and hidden) disappointment, Erza simply coated herself in a bright light, and when it cleared, she stood in pink pyjamas with a sleeping mask in her hand, before strolling into the scythe's room, as he had offered her his bed, and beckoned goodnight to both of them. When she left the room, Soul received a violent Maka Chop.

"What was that for?!" he protested, rubbing his dented scalp.

"You were staring because you thought she was going to get changed!"

"Maka I'm not that uncool. I wanted to see her magic," the scythe lied easily.

"Your nosebleed says otherwise," Maka said through grinding teeth.

"Oh, crap."

" 'I don't want to help you train!' she says," announced a large clock in the centre of BlackStar and Tsubaki's home. The assassin was banging on Horologium's door.

"Come on, Lucy, one sparring session before bed, it'll be fun!"

The Celestial Spirit Wizard hiding within the clock was unconvinced, and would have happily remained there, had it not been for-

"My time is up, Lucy-san. Good luck!" Horologium said before departing, leaving Lucy to fall onto the carpet.

"Good, you're out!" BlackStar said happily, before readying his fists."Now are you ready to dance with a star?"

"Did my hiding in a clock for half an hour not tip you off?" Lucy muttered, wondering if she should request staying with someone else.

"BlackStar, stop harassing our guest," Tsubaki scolded, returning to the room.

"Your futon is all set up, Lucy," she smiled, before looking guiltily at the floor. "Sorry that there's no bed, and you need to share a room with us, but-"

"It's fine, it's fine!" Lucy assured her hurriedly, before adding with a laugh, "After all, no one can be worse to sleep next to than Natsu and Gray!"

They're actually worse than Natsu and Gray! Lucy realised an hour later in horror, lying between the meister and weapon. BlackStar's delusions of grandeur would not be halted by something as measly as sleep, for his rest was punctuated by sudden punches and kicks at imaginary enemies, accompanied by his reminding them that he was a star, a god, the world's greatest assassin, or all of the above. And Tsubaki, for all her quietness and manners, snored like an obese buffalo. Lucy could only think of one solution, so quietly she retrieved one of her silver keys and murmured "Open, Gate of the Harpist, Lyra."

The celestial singer made her appearance immediately. "What do you need help with Lucy?" she whispered, noticing the sleeping bodies.

"Help me get to sleep!" Lucy begged her quietly. Lyra took note of the loud circumstances.

"Hmm, don't worry Lucy, my harp can get you to sleep in no time."

"Oh, thank you so mu-" Lucy was silenced mid-sentence by a thump with a harp across the face, and she fell onto her futon, unconscious.

"Sweet dreams, Lucy!" Lyra smiled pleasantly, before vanishing back to the Spirit World.

A/N: Again, I'm really sorry about the error during Chapter 2's initial upload, and thanks to Lizzie2145 and Ynot7 for telling me about it!
