"The other night dear, as I lay sleeping..."

I rolled over in my sleep and sighed. I looked at my watch (yes, a wristwatch), pressing the button for light. It was two-thirty four in the morning. How could Max possibly be awake? And singing? I mean, it wasn't terrible...but it woke me up!

"...I dreamed I held you in my arms..."

And it's a mushy-gushy song. Blech.

"When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken," Max sighed. "And I hung my head and cried...

Okay, what kind of happy, lovey-dovey song has lyrics like that? I turned over to face her and sat up, reaching over to tell her I was awake. But she was laying down in her sleeping bag, curled up on her side and sleeping softly. I stared at her for a moment longer, wondering if I just imagined this all.

"You...are my sunshine..." her lips moved as she started in a barely audible voice.

"Max," I whispered. Did she usually sing in her sleep? Was she pulling my leg?

"...my only...sunshine..."

"Max," I whispered with more emphasis.

"You...make me...happy..." she smiled in her sleep which kind paused me for a moment. Was she really sleeping?

"When skies are gray..." I squinted as I turned on the light. She was definitely sleeping. "You'll never know dear..." Max's voice began getting...depressed.

"Max!" I shook her before she burst into tears or what not. I don't like dealing with crying girls; let me rephrase that, I can't deal with crying girls. The most I can do is put a hand on their shoulder and tell them to feel better. She began bleating opening her eyes and squinted up at me.

I suppose she said, 'What?' but it came out like, "Waaaarrr?"

"Er..." should I tell her? There might be an explanation or something so...in the morning. I smiled sleepily, leaned over to kiss her on the forehead and shut off the light.

"Good night." Max squinted her eyes at him in confusion as he kissed her forehead and went back to sleep. She shook her head silently and closed her eyes again.

"Weirdo."

[αυτhοr's ηοτε] Well, the infamous "You Are My Sunshine" makes its reappearance! [BPF reference...] I dunno what my fascination with that song is...it's so lovely and depressing at the same time...

Disclaimer: I don't own MR or 'You Are My Sunshine' okay? Bye!
