I wrote out this chapter. It got deleted. And I'm already super crunched for time. I have less than ten minutes. No time for any of my requests, which would take me at least 20 minutes. Let's see if I can crank out a short something that'll keep you satisfied...
*SCREAMS AT COMPUTER FOR DELETING MY CHAPTER*

Lucy couldn't sleep.
She'd tried counting sheep, but whoever made up that method obviously never had REAL trouble sleeping. She tried counting stars, but clouds got in the way - not that it was working, anyway. She tossed and turned and groaned and grumbled and sighed.
Maybe music would help?
But she didn't have music or anything. Not with her. Not right now. Because right now, she was in the middle of the woods.
And she was kind of cold.
Lucy turned over and glanced at the sleeping Natsu and Happy. The trains were down and the town was far, so they'd had to walk to their next job, and the journey had led far enough into the night that they'd decided to stop and get some rest before starting again tomorrow.
Lucy sighed to herself.
She could try one thing.
But... no, that'd be weird...
Not that he'd ever had issues with it before...
Lucy heaved a sigh and stood up from her sleeping bag, picking it up. She stumbled over to where Natsu was and laid her sleeping back down beside his. Then she lied down on it, snuggling closer to her pink-haired friend.
He was obviously not totally asleep, because his arm reached out and wrapped around her, pulling her closer. And just before she fell asleep, Lucy heard him whisper in her ear...
"Goodnight, Luce."

So it's short and cheesy. Sorry. I'M OUT OF TIME NOW BYE!
