A/N: Read, enjoy, review! Thanks for all the alerts, favourites, and reviews, I really, really appreciate them. :)

That night, Leo tossed and turned and woke up with another great idea. "I've got it! Single guys club!" he exclaimed, waking some of his siblings. One of them threw a pillow at him. Leo had a feeling that was Nyssa.
"Go back to sleep, Leo," another yelled.
"Shut up!" Yet another muttered.
"Mommy, the rainbows are attacking!" That one came from one of the younger kids.
"Okay, okay. But anyone wanna join? Huh?" Leo pushed himself up from the bed and switched on the lights. Immediately, a chorus of complaints filled his ears. Leo glanced at the digital alarm clock. It was only three in the morning. Oops.
Before anyone took the opportunity to throw a hammer at him, he turned the lights off.
"Fine, then. I guess I'll just...talk to myself." He lay back down on the bed and stared at the ceiling.
"You know, just me. In the dark. Talking to myself about this new awesome amazing absolutely cool club I came up with."
He turned on his side.
"Well, actually, Connor was supposed to help, but then he ran off with Miranda and left me all alone. Which is fine by me, I mean, I have the Argo 11. And we can all agree that it's a spankin' hot war machine, right? And that's all I need, I guess. But Festus isn't a girl, like, an actual, breathing, girl..."
He sat up again.
"But this club is gonna be epic. We're gonna do, like, tons of cool, awesome stuff and we can reach out to other single guys to show that they're not alone and stuff. Wait, why am I saying 'we'? I mean, I want people to join, sure, but who's the 'we' I'm referring to right now? English is so confusing..."
As Leo rambled on, another pillow sailed through the air and hit him straight in the stomach, knocking the breath out of him.
"Owww!" He wheezed. "Okay, okay, jeez. I'll shut it." He pulled his blanket over his head and tried to be quiet.
About five minutes passed before he couldn't stand the silence. He was just too excited to sleep! This was like one of those nights where he couldn't wait for daylight, like when he had an idea for improving the ship and couldn't wait to try it out; or when he realized where he had placed that one tiny but important part of the new toy he had been working on.
Leo threw open his blanket and asked, "Anyone want to join?"
Somewhere over to his left, he heard a groan and what sounded like a sob.
Sheesh, fine.
Okay. He'd shut up. He could shut up. He snuggled back under his blanket and curled up. Just as everyone thought they could go back to sleep in peace and started silently thanking Morpheus, Hephaestus, and all the other gods (and whichever god was in charge of silence), they heard something that quickly made them take back their prayers.
"But no girls allowed!"
fin.
A/N: I am so terribly sorry, I know this is like, a billion years late. All of you who read the first chapter are now probably hundreds of years old, cursing me for not updating when I said I would.
Anyway, this is the short sort-of epilogue to this story. There will be sequels and such, that's for sure, but they would not come anytime soon. Or they would, it all depends on my brain, really.
