Thank you for the reviews everyone! Keep them coming, it makes my day that much brighter when I see a review!

Ah anyway, there is some slight sexual content in this chapter~ So beware! The twins are coming out to play in this chapter and have their optics set on our precious Luna!

I do not own Transformers, it belongs to HasTake... lucky glitches. I only claim Luna, her trine, Wingbolt, his trine, Wavecrasher and Drizzle.

Remember to review!

When Luna awoke the next day, she found she was not in the twins' room but in Prowl's. Had it all been a dream then? She sat up slowly and groaned softly from how badly her chassis ached.

"Prowl?" She croaked out, looking for the mech. She finally found him sitting at the computer but she wasn't going to risk standing at the moment. "What happened to me?"

"You passed out in the rec room," He turned to look at her. "The twins found you and brought you to Jazz who in turn brought you to me. They were horribly disappointed but they knew you were tired and needed the rest."

"Well, it seems I've failed to relax," She frowned a bit.

"Luna, you have the entire day off," He reminded her. "By the way, I can hear your cooling fans from here," Luna gave a squawk when she realized her cooling fans were actually still going. "That good of a dream?" He gave her a grin.

"It's not funny," She grumbled.

"I have a plan," Prowl told her. "That will get you exactly what you need."

"Oh? And what is it that I need?" She raised an optic ridge.

"Well, to relax and have fun," He chuckled. "Ah, but first, let's get you cleaned up, shall we? Can't go around base with a filthy chassis like that."

"What does having a clean chassis have anything to do with this?" She frowned. "I fail to see your logic, Prowl, and that's saying something."

"That is for me to know and you to find out," He smiled. Prowl stood, walked to her, and gently pulled her off the berth, supporting her as she stumbled. "Come on, let's go," He pulled her towards his personal wash rack.

"Prowl!" She gasped, trying to get away from him.

"I used to go with you to the wash racks when you were a sparkling," He hummed. "I'm not interested just so you know, so don't worry." Luna grumbled and nodded. She yelped when he turned on the shower head, cold solvent spraying over her. "Ah, should have warned you," He smiled. Luna pouted at him as Prowl helped her to wash, scrubbing at all the tough spots of grime. When she was dried off, he buffed out all the scratches from her training and helped her with a new wax so that she practically sparkled. "You look great!" Prowl was quite proud of himself when they were finally finished. "Stop hiding behind that visor," He scolded her. "Your optics are unique, there is nothing wrong with that." She hesitated and retracted the visor. It had been retracted for the wash but then she'd snapped it right back into place afterwords.

"Now what?" She grumbled, shuffling nervously.

"Now, we go take a walk," He chuckled. He led her out of his quarters and down towards the Command Center. When they walked in, no one really seemed to notice them, which Luna was actually glad about.

"Luna, ya sure are lookin' mighty good today," Jazz whistled when he saw her. "Prowler, wha'd ya do?"

"Buffed out all the scratches, made her wash up and gave her a new wax job," Prowl scowled at the music loving mech.

"What's the occasion?" Ironhide asked.

"Just helping her to relax," Prowl responded. "She's taking a mandatory day off today," Luna grumbled when he reminded her.

"Luna, can I speak with you?" Optimus approached them and she nodded. Prowl gave her one last look before he left her and went to chew out Jazz for calling him Prowler again. "Prowl has done an excellent job," He told her. "Just relax today, you deserve it and need it."

"Yes, sir," She sighed.

"Now, go get your morning ration," He gave her a fatherly hug. Luna gave a sheepish smile before she hurried away. She received a few looks from the other mech's on base as she passed and ignored them as she hurried to the rec room. She let out a soft groan when she arrived to find it nearly packed. Grumbling, she made her way over to the dispenser and got her morning ration of energon before she found a table in the corner to sit at. She felt meek and timid without her trine mates with her but she knew it was foolish to call for them; they were on early morning patrol.

"Luna!" She heard Sideswipe's voice and let out a squeak as she tried to hide herself. "Luna!" He smiled when he finally reached her. He opened his mouth to say something else but stopped, closed his mouth and studied the young femme. "You look different," He noted. "Are you using a different armor wax?"

"I... Prowl helped me," She chirped quietly.

"I haven't seen you this clean since... you were a sparkling," He grinned.

"Is there something you wanted, Sides?" She tried to change the subject. "If Sunny is in the brig, I'm not helping you free him," She teased lightly.

"Nah, Sunstreaker is fine," He smiled. "I was going to ask if you wanted to spend the day with us! Heard you have all day off."

"Who told you?" She snapped, narrowing her optics.

"Boomer," He smirked. Luna made a mental note to kick Boomer's aft later.

"Give me one reason why I should spend the day with the Twin Terrors," She grumbled softly.

"Hm, you asked us to join you last night but you fell asleep and ruined our potential time together," He hummed. "I think spending the day together will make up for it, don't you think?" Luna glowered at him and relented.

"I suppose," She mumbled. Sideswipe slid into the seat next to her and reached for her wing. Luna jerked away for a moment before she allowed him to touch the appendage. "Don't smudge it," She whined at him.

"You," He began, grabbing her chin. "Need to relax."

"I know," She whispered,

"Then stop being a sparkling about me touching your wing," He laughed as he stroked her wing softly. He released her chin and made sure she drank her energon. Sunstreaker joined them after a while and sat on her other side, slipping an arm around her waist.

"What did you do? Steal Prowl's wax?" He asked once he looked over her.

"Prowl let me use it," She muttered. "He's the one who... er... helped me get ready for the day."

"You look great," He complimented. "Not as great as me though."

"Mute it, Sunny," She smirked at him. The twins soon dragged her off to be apart of a prank on Red Alert which went well but they were quickly found out and chased about the base.

"That was a good one," Sideswipe laughed.

"And we managed to keep Luna squeaky clean," Sunstreaker smirked at the femme. Luna scowled at him and let out a yelp when Sideswipe picked her up.

"It's one on one time," He grinned. "I call first dibs!"

"Slagger," Sunstreaker growled. "Fine," Sideswipe smiled as he dashed off with Luna. The Seeker could only cling to him as he carried her but then he did something that had her ready to punch him.

He grabbed her aft.

"Sideswipe, touch my aft again and I will take off your hands," She growled at him.

"Won't happen again," He cackled. "Though I must say, you have a nice aft."

"Thank you and as do you. It's a nice aft for me to kick that is," Sideswipe whined at this remark. "You're ruining the wax job!"

"I can help you fix it," He offered, finally setting her down. Luna paused when he said this. She could handle his touching her to an extent but she wasn't certain how well she would do with what he was suggesting. She'd had a hard enough time that morning with Prowl touching her.

"Sides, you know I don't like when others touch me," She whispered softly.

"If you can handle Prowl touching you, I'm sure you'll be fine," He gave her a genuine smile.

"It's different though," She muttered. "Prowl practically helped raise me with Optimus and the other officers."

"Just give it a try," He persisted. "If you don't like me helping then I'll stop and you can do it on your own, okay?" Luna bit on her lower lip component and nodded. Sideswipe smiled widely and dragged her the rest of the way to his and Sunstreaker's quarters. The black and silver femme was nervous as she walked in with him and let out a tiny squeak as he ushered her further inside. The lights were on already as Sideswipe flitted about the room, looking for the wax which he found hidden under his brothers berth. He got a clean cloth and approached Luna with a cute, innocent smile on his faceplates. "I can tell how tense you are from here, Luna," He hummed.

"S-sorry," She whispered. Why in the name of Primus was she acting so shy around him? It just wasn't like her! Perhaps it had something to do with her dream... The little femme slowly relaxed herself and watched with nervous optics as Sideswipe began applying the wax to her chassis. He was extremely gentle and cautious about the entire ordeal, looking into her optics whenever she tensed or started to shy away. When it was all said and done, Luna was smiling despite herself and so was Sideswipe.

"Not as good as the job Prowl did but you still look great!" He chirped happily.

"Thank you, Sides," She smiled at him. He only smiled and leaned forward, pecking her on the cheek. This left the young Seeker stunned and unable to get out anything other than a chocked sound. When she finally found her vocal processor again, the first thing that she said was. "What?"

"You've never had someone do that before, have you?" He giggled a bit. She shook her helm, still too stunned to really form a coherent sentence. "You may be the oldest of the Seekers but they have you beat, Luna."

"What do you mean?" Her systems halted at his words then.

"Sunny and I have caught Boomer and Aqua kissing in the halls before," He grinned. He watched as her faceplates twisted in disbelief and tilted his head.

"I am the leader of the trine and yet when I am with them, I feel like a third wheel," She grunted softly.

"You shouldn't be jealous of them," He told her. "You're a grown femme, you're independent enough to go out and have a little fun."

"Prowl practically told me the same thing," She let out a dry laugh. "Why does everyone keep telling me to have fun and relax?"

"We might be at war but that doesn't mean we all have to be stiff's like Prowl and Red all the time," Sideswipe grinned. "You and the others are still in training, so you aren't real warriors yet. You're young, you need to relax. Have fun like you should have when you were younger." Luna's wings twitched and quivered nervously, still not fully comprehending what the red twin was telling her. Sideswipe sighed and wrapped his arms around her, purring a bit as he just held her, servos pressed to the small of her back so he didn't touch her wings too much.

"I don't know what to do anymore," She told him in a defeated voice. Sideswipe tilted her helm back and smiled gently, making her spark jump. He leaned down and brushed his lips over her own, listening with glee as her intakes hitched.

"Why don't we... experiment?" His lips curled up into a seductive smile. "Let's find all the spots that make you squirm," He lowered her onto the berth, still smiling at her wide-optic'd expression. Sideswipe pressed his lip components to hers in a gentle, chaste kiss that had her feeling as though she'd had a good round of high-grade. She whimpered when he pulled away and wrapped her arms around his neck as he made his way to her neck. Denta and glossa worked together to make the little femme mewl as he got into all the seams of her armor to lick at the sensitive cables and wires. He found a particularly sensitive spot at the base of her neck. "Found one," He grinned.

"You're a tease," She grumbled as he moved to optic level again.

"I've been told that I am by many people," He gave her a cheeky grin. His nimble fingers danced around her chassis, finding more and more spots that had her squirming and biting back sounds she hadn't been sure she could ever produce. Her wings of course, were the biggest spots of all. Sideswipe had her laying on her front while he explored her back, purposely teasing the wires until she was clawing at the berth beneath her and begging him to stop. She was trembling by the time he let her lay on her back and she was just about ready to bolt out of the room. She couldn't hide the fact that she was horribly frightened of what Sideswipe was doing but what scared her most was the reactions she was having to him. "Luna, it's okay," He murmured softly.

"Sides, please," She let out a tiny whimper. "Too much... it's too much..." Sideswipe stroked her wings gently, calming her down a fraction.

"What's wrong?" He asked quietly. "Do we need to go see Ratchet?"

"No!" She blurted. She certainly didn't want Ratchet to know what they'd been doing, even if it wasn't really that horrible, she would still be scolded by the old medic.

"You've got to tell me what's wrong then," He gave a gentle smile. Sideswipe moved to lay on his side, keeping one arm wrapped around her the whole time.

"I... Sides, I just don't like being touched," She sighed. "You know that... And... I'm just..."

"Luna, you silly little femme, the point of experimenting is to see what you like and what you don't like," He let out a light, cheerful laugh. "The fact that you're still here shows that you can handle much more contact that you originally thought."

"I-I guess so," She felt her tension fade a little as Sideswipe stroked her hip softly. He leaned over and gave her another kiss to which she responded hesitantly.

"Planning on hogging her attention?" Sunstreaker's husky voice cut through the silent room. Luna practically propelled herself into the wall with a small cry when she heard him.

"Sunny, you ruined it," Sideswipe grumbled angrily.

"You've had her for hours," Sunstreaker growled. "It's my turn," He stalked over, grabbed Luna and hauled her off the berth. The little femme squeaked and clutched at the rougher twin, looking back at Sideswipe with wide optics. "I'll meet you in the rec room later," With that, Sunstreaker left with Luna. The young Seeker was positively mortified. Sunstreaker had walked in on her and Sideswipe kissing...

"Are you mad at me?" She finally ventured, wings limp and depressed.

"No," He grunted. "Pit, I'm proud of you," Luna gave him an incredulous look.

"Why the pit would you be proud of me for kissing your brother?" She made a face.

"Show's that you trust him," He looked down at her. "Don't give me that look. You're terrified of anyone except for a few of us touching you and even then you fritz. Letting Sides do what he did shows that you're trying to work past it all and let down your barriers. You were able to put up with Prowl this morning, right?"

"Yes," She answered meekly.

"Just by taking things a step at a time, you'll get better," He gave her a light smile.

"So, what are we going to do?" She asked, trying not to glitch over the fact that she hadn't exercised or anything so far that day.

"Add onto what Sides was doing," His smile turned deadly seductive and he leered at her.

"Sunny, I don't think that's a good idea," She tried to back up but he kept her firmly against his side.

"If you don't calm down, you're going to have a panic attack," He sighed. "Then I'll have to take you to Ratchet and then he'll find out what's been going on."

"What is with you and Sides threatening me with Ratchet today?" She frowned at him.

"Because the last time we tried getting you to relax, we had to take you to him because you glitched... badly," He winced at the memory. He saw how Luna cringed and knew she'd also remembered that time. "He nearly tore our sparks out for it. How the slag do you think he would react if he knew we were getting to know each other on a 'more than friends' kind of level?"

"I don't want to think about it, Sunny," She groaned softly. The yellow twin suddenly had her pressed up against the wall, his face mere inches from her own. "S-Sunny?" She squeaked out, optics wide.

"I've always thought you were cute," He admitted with a dark grin. Ah, this was the Sunstreaker she knew so well, the one who could be rough and uncaring but at the same time, show you exactly how he felt. "You were so slaggin' unapproachable though after what happened. But now..." He chuckled and brushed his lip components over hers. Luna tried to press close but he pulled back, smirking and she pouted. "You look really good today, did you know?"

"A few bots might have mentioned it," She whispered with a small smile.

"Still no where near as good looking as me though," He teased. "And Sideswipe ruined the wax," He frowned a bit and she growled.

"I don't care anymore," She huffed. "Prowl will probably have me redo it again tomorrow if Optimus doesn't think I've 'relaxed' enough today."

"With how high-strung you are, I wouldn't be surprised," He snorted. Before another word could leave her mouth, Sunstreaker kissed her. Luna's protest died in her throat as she stiffened and then gave in, offlining her optics as she hesitantly kissed back. Sunstreaker expertly slid his servos along her chassis, finding each seam in her armor that he could get to.

"WHAT THE SLAG?" Sunstreaker broke from Luna with a curse, snapping his helm to the side to glare at the one who'd interrupted them. A gray chassis met their optics and the owner of said chassis was gawking at them.

Bluestreak.

"Um.. I totally didn't see this," He stammered. "I so did not see Sunstreaker kissing Luna. I'm going to pretend I never saw this."

"Bluestreak, you'd better keep your mouth shut," Sunstreaker snarled. "If I hear anyone even hinting at what you've just seen, I will personally beat the living slag out of you." The mech yelped, nodded and took off running faster than Blurr on any normal day.

"Maybe we should go somewhere else?" Luna suggested, still hesitant from Bluestreak having caught them.

"Sides said he cleared out so we can go back to the quarters," He murmured. Luna nodded nervously and went with him quickly, not wanting to be caught by anyone else. He pulled her inside and they tumbled onto the berth, Sunstreaker looming over the trembling Seeker. His servos found all the spots that Sideswipe had found and then some as he claimed her lips. "It's okay to touch," He chuckled when she clung to his shoulders, unmoving. His skillful fingers stroked a certain bundle of wires near her back and she gasped, arching up into him. Slowly, cautiously, Luna began to explore Sunstreaker's chassis. "Ah, good little femme," He purred teasingly. Her lithe claws found their way under his armor and began stroking the wires she found. Sunstreaker kissed her soundly as they continued to explore one another, with Luna's touches becoming bolder by the second. "See? This isn't so bad is it?"

"N-no," She let out a quiet mewl. "It feels nice..." She admitted, gasping as Sunny nibbled along her neck.

"Sides and I have always wanted to have you," He growled in her audio. This had her squeaking in surprise and her fingers halting their soft caresses.

"B-both of you?" She looked at him with wide optics.

"Yes," He grinned. "We're twins, so we share a lot of things. We fight over you a lot."

"You do?" She cocked her head curiously.

"You saw it for yourself earlier," He muttered. "I want to have you first though, we agreed on that much."

"W-wait..." Her optics widened again. "You mean...?"

"Yes, my dear Luna," He purred, optics glinting. He kissed her and smiled against her lip components. "It's up to you though." Luna looked up at him with wide optics and leaned up, kissing him soundly.

"I... I think this is what Prowl was trying to tell me this morning," She whispered. "There was definitely logic behind his giving me a new wax job."

"Oh there definitely was," His smirk was predatory. "Sideswipe and I will have to thank him tomorrow," He continued his sweet caresses, focusing on her wings this time. Luna gasped and writhed beneath him, clutching at his shoulders as he continued. He wanted the little femme, he really did but he would not force the decision upon her. He and Sideswipe would let her decide when she was ready to go further with them. For now, he was actually content with just exploring her body and getting her used to intimate touching.

"Sunny," She let out a mewl as she arched up. His digits had slipped beneath her armor and were stroking the wires beneath, right near her chest. His fingers danced downwards and dug under the armor at her hips, making her buck with a gasp. His mouth moved to her wings and began sucking at the sensitive edges, biting gently to make her moan loudly. Her own servos were dancing about his chassis, trying to find all the pleasure spots on his own body while he did the same to her. With a tiny growl, he got between her thighs and ground himself against her crotch, making her whimper with need. "Sunstreaker!" She let out a cry when he tugged at a few wires and nipped at her wings. It all happened so fast after that. She felt her entire body go rigid and a ripple of pleasure tore through her as Sunstreaker brought her to her first overload. Exhausted, she collapsed and curled against a chuckling Sunstreaker before she dropped into recharge.

-X-X-X-

When Luna finally onlined her optics, she found Sunstreaker laying beside her, holding her close as he rested. The young femme thought she was merely dreaming as she curled close to the mech, offlining her optics again.

"Don't you fall asleep on me again," Sunstreaker growled. Luna gasped and onlined her optics, shock very much evident in their depths.

She wasn't dreaming.

Sunstreaker was really lying beside her, holding her in a way only her trine was allowed to do. If she wasn't dreaming then... Oh Primus... he'd made her overload without even interfacing!

"Come on, let's get you up," He rumbled, sitting up. "You need to get cleaned up again," Luna looked down at herself with a frown. Her wax job was completely ruined and she had scratches littering her chassis from where Sunstreaker had latched onto her armor. Reluctantly, she went to the wash racks with him and squealed when he proceeded to tease her as he helped her to clean up. Once they were both out and dried off, they made their way to the rec room to meet up with Sideswipe, who had the biggest grin on his faceplates Luna had ever seen as they got closer to him.

"Mute it, Sides," She hissed at him, wings hiked up higher than normal.

"Someone woke up on the wrong side of the berth," He teased, getting them all some energon. They found a secluded corner of the room to sit in and began to talk. "So? Spill it!"

"Wh-what do you mean?" She stammered, sipping at her energon.

"Oh come on!" He whined softly. "I felt how excited Sunny was through our bond," He raised an optic ridge at them. "Something good must have happened."

"We didn't do what you're thinking but we got damn close," Sunstreaker told him flatly, keeping his voice low so no one else heard him. "Got her to overload just by stimulating her wings and some sensitive wires."

"Sunny!" Luna gasped, mortified that he would say it so casually. And to his own twin at that!

"Wish I could have watched," Sideswipe grinned. "Did he hurt you?" The red twin began to check the young femme over, making sure there were no dents in her armor or scratches for that matter.

"I'm fine, Sideswipe," She assured him. The more carefree twin smiled and gave her a gentle kiss before pulling back.

"Good," He smiled. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close, earning a glare from Sunstreaker. "You had her already," He stuck his glossa out at his twin. "I get her now." Luna squirmed, not wanting to be touched but the moment his servo found her wing, she relaxed. The three chatted quietly for a while and soon, they saw Prowl enter the rec room. He made a bee line for their table and Luna tried to hide herself.

"Luna, how are you?" He asked when he reached them.

"I'm doing well," She mumbled. "I've only been... relaxing thus far today."

"She's been with us so you know she hasn't been out of our sight," Sideswipe grinned at the tactician. "We've made sure she hasn't done anything but relax."

"Excellent," He gave a rare smile, though his optics held a knowing look. "I want her back in my quarters tonight," With this said, the black and white mech left. The twins looked at each other and shrugged, continuing to tease the living slag out of Luna. Soon though, they finished their energon and it was time for Sideswipe to take the little femme with him.

"I'll be in the Command Center if you need me," Sunstreaker told them. Luna leaned against Sideswipe as they walked back to his and Sunstreaker's quarters, optics dim. She started to think back to her and Sunny's time together and her systems started to heat up.

"What are you thinking about?" Sideswipe looked at her when he heard her cooling fans kick in. "You are one naughty femme," He teased, fingers trailing over her wings. They reached the door and he punched in the code before dragging the Seeker inside. He pulled her into a sweet, gentle kiss as they stumbled to the other berth and fell in a tangled mess on it. Luna whimpered and mewled as Sideswipe teased her, much more so than Sunstreaker had. His teasing nearly brought her to overload but he stopped the moment he knew she was close and backed off with a smile. He did this several times, amused by her reactions and pleas for him to not stop. Unlike Sunstreaker, Sideswipe gave Luna the opportunity to explore his body as he laid back for her, not touching her. She was a curious little thing, he had to admit, as she danced her fingers over every part of him and hesitantly dipped her fingers into the seams. He instructed her to use her glossa at certain times and she did most of her teasing with said appendage. She grew bolder as she started teasing and tugging wires as they kissed, intent on making the red twin feel good.

"A-ah, L-Luna," He gasped and bucked when she found the wires near his hips. She grinned wickedly as she teased these wires, her mouth working at his neck while she did so. "S-Stop, if you keep going-" He moaned lowly. "I-I have to release my spike, please!" He thrashed under her inexperienced hands. She stopped and looked at him, tilting her head curiously. Sideswipe leaned up and kissed her, chuckling at how naïve she was. "Oh, sweet Luna, I'll teach you about a mech's spike next time," He purred. "For now, let me help you," He gently flipped over and made sure she was comfortable. He took his sweet time in teasing her body and wings, bringing her once more to the edge of overload. He pulled his hands back and grinned as she whimpered and pleaded with him. With a few tugs and strokes of some wires and her wings, Luna was sent into another overload. "So beautiful."

"Mute it," She cracked a smile at him.

"We really need to hit the wash racks," He laughed, tracing a few small paint streaks on her chassis. How they had gotten there, neither of them was sure.

"Primus... that's like... my third or fourth one today," Luna complained.

"I could let you go out as you are now but then everyone on base would know," He grinned at her. "But if that's what you want.."

"No!" She squeaked out, shaking her helm. "Ratchet would kill me!"

"Nah, he'd kill me and Sunny for getting close to you," He laughed. "And give you a long lecture about safe interfacing. He taught it when the Academy was still around."

"That's... more than I needed to know about him," She hid her face.

"Be glad you haven't had to put up with it," He laughed. "Come on, let's get cleaned up," He kissed her and pulled her into the wash rack. They laughed as they got out after having slipped a few times and dried off.

"Thank you, Sides, for helping me today. I don't feel like there is a giant pressure on me anymore." She smiled at him.

"All you needed was a day off and some 'fun'," He waggled his optic ridges at her. Luna laughed and gave him a chaste kiss just as Sunstreaker returned.

"I suppose I should be thanking you as well," She smiled at the vain twin. She walked up to him and kissed him as well, squeaking when he bit her lip.

"Let's get you to Prowl before he sends someone to search for you," He grumbled. The twins escorted her to Prowls quarters and waved as they left her in the tacticians servos. Prowl had her sit down and stood before her, looking her over carefully.

"I am to assume you enjoyed your day off?" He finally spoke.

"Ah, in a way, yes," She smiled. "I feel a lot better."

"Tell me, did you have... fun?" His lip components twitched and his optics danced with mirth.

"Not the kind I think you are referring to," She squeaked and her visor snapped into place.

"Either way, you had fun," He pointed out. "There was a reason I did that this morning."

"You mean... you purposely did all that just so...?" Her optics widened behind her visor.

"I didn't think it would work though," He told her. "It seems the Twin Terrors proved me wrong. I've seen how they look at you but you've never noticed it."

"Sunny told me that he and Sides have always wanted me," She whispered. "I don't know anymore, Prowl."

"Get some rest," He said in a soft voice. "You've had a rather eventful day," He let her take his berth while he set to work on the computers.

"Do you ever recharge?" Luna mused.

"Yes, just not today," He muttered. "Go to sleep, Luna," He heard her grumble but ignored it, knowing she would be asleep soon enough.
