Okay, I got three reviews in under twenty four hours, so here's chapter two!

Disclaimer: I don't own a Lombax who has a robotic companion on his back. I really which I did though because I always wanted to hug Ratchet! Does anyone else ever want to hug a Lombax?


I woke up to the sound of Qwark's snoring coming from the living room and I could see Clank's antenna blinking in my dark bedroom. How long did I sleep? I thought as I lifted myself off my stomach and looked at my bedside clock to see it was ten p.m. at night. Okay, so I slept the whole day away and I've done it before. I groaned as I felt my back have a bit of pain due to hardly moving in my sleep when I sat up.

I yawned as I popped my back from lying down for a few hours on that slightly stiff bed when I stood up with my arms over my head. Maybe I can fine tune that pair of Stunderwear and sneak it into Qwark's laundry. I thought deviously as I walked down to the living room to get the big green tub of fat off my couch. I stepped lightly when I entered the kitchen so my claws wouldn't make a lot of noise when they hit the tiled floor. Where's that old Taunter? I thought as I carefully opened the armory where I put ALL my weapons and gadgets when I'm not saving the universe.

I looked past the rocket launchers and blasters as I checked the area where the Swingshot and Morph-O-Ray were at when I saw exactly what I was looking for. "Bingo." I whispered as I picked up the dusty Taunter and lightly examined the old gadget with a sly grin on my face. I yawned as I felt slight fatigue hit me for about a minute. I put the Taunter in my pocket and dropped to all fours and slowly crawled back into my living room.

I wonder what Clank would say if he saw me now? "What are you doing, Ratchet?" My friend asked almost mother like as I froze in place with my left hand in mid-step as I quickly looked over at my friend with my eyes wide in surprise. "Uh...I...uhh...I was..." I stuttered in surpise of Clank sneaking up on me and he didn't look very happy over me crawling on the floor with a old gadget in my pocket.

"Ratchet, Qwark is just spending seven days here and he has only two more days left until he heads back to Polaris and you could be a bit more friendly by not sleeping these last two days." "Wait, what? I was asleep for five days!?" I asked with disbelief that I had slept five days. What is making me sleep so much lately?

I stood up and pulled the Taunter out of my pocket and returned it to the armory with a very quiet growl in defeat. "I can hear you growling, Ratchet. Even though no other organic could hear if they were nearby, I can hear you growl that softly even if I were five miles away." I sighed and stopped growling so this wouldn't start a argument and put my hand up to my mouth when a yawn came out. "Clank," I sighed, "I don't mean to sound bossy, but could you scan me for anything that's making me so sleepy?"

I heard Clank's gears whir as he scanned my body for any abnormalalities in my system "Oh dear..." I heard the former Senior Caretaker of the Great Clock gasp when the scan was finished. "What's wrong with me?" I was a bit scared to ask this, but I had to because I don't want to fall asleep in the middle of a fight. "Ratchet, this is not good. You have Banshee sleep."


Yay! Cliffhanger! So, Banshee sleep is a disease that makes Lombaxes, Markizans, or Cazars, sleep like crazy while other races like a Blarg or Terachnoid would just be slightly cranky over not sleeping, but for any race that isn't Lombaxian, Markizan, or Cazarian, the Banshee sleep only lasts for a day, but for Lombaxes, Markizans, and Cazars it will last for about three months, give or take a week. Other side affects are, mood swings, vomiting, constant cravings over a favorite food, or drink, and exclusive to Lombaxes is the craving for Lombaxnip. Which basicly is like Catnip to a cat. So, if there's any Lombaxnip in your's house and Ratchet's at your house and he has Banshee sleep, HIDE IT WHERE HE CAN'T FIND IT! Anyway, please review because I am in love writing this story as much as I was with Nights in Paris.(which has 597 views!) See you guys later!
