"That was the best time I have ever had!" Sapphire gushed as her and Aqualad walked in the hallways back at the tower. Aqualad was feeling a bit better since he had his little slow dance with Sapphire. Sapphire was still happy go lucky, just as always. They turned the corner and came to Sapphire's room.

"You and Bumblebee really hit the dance floor." Aqualad said.

"Really? I thought we danced on it." Sapphire said with confusion.

"Yeah, that's what I meant." Aqualad said with a smile. For some reason he found her naïve nature cute. She covered her mouth and yawned daintily. Aqualad just grinned again. "You look tired."

"I guess I am." She replied.

"You should be. After all it's early morning and you've been dancing and fighting crime all night."

"That's what I was born to do." She smiled. There was a moment of silence and Aqualad rubbed the back of his head.

"Well, uh…goodnight."

"Goodnight, Aqualad. Sweet dreams." She said and she waved as she entered her room and the door closed behind her. He just sighed and walked off to his room.

"Do sweet dreams include anything about her?" Speedy teased as he leaned against his door. Aqualad just walked past him.

"It's too early, Speedy." He said. Speedy made kissing noises from behind him. Aqualad rolled his eyes and went into his own room.

Everyone was fast asleep in their rooms, not even turning from extreme exhaustion. It was a peaceful night, or at least until something woke them up. "AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" Sapphire screamed from her room! Aqualad jumped up.

"Sapphire!" and he ran out of his room and to her door, where the other titans gathered. They burst through the door and readied for battle! Speedy walked in groggily and yawned, his hair a complete orange mess.

"What's going on?" he asked.

"Sapphire, are you okay?" Aqualad called out into the dark room. Sapphire popped her head out from under the covers, trembling in fear. "What happened?" he asked concerned.

"There's something in the room. A monster!" she said and then she pushed the covers down from her face.

"A monster?" Bee asked.

"Yes! It had red, beaty eyes and grey fur all over! And then it had a snake like tail and huge ears!" Sapphire cried. "It ran across the floor!"

"Huh?" was all Bee said and then Sapphire jumped up and shrieked again!

"AAHH! THERE IT IS!" and the titans looked down and saw a tiny grey mouse run across the floor. Sapphire had wakened them up for a tiny little mouse. Speedy looked at her annoyed.

"I'm going back to bed." He said and walked away. Mas y Menos looked at each other and shrugged and then sped off to their room. Bee and Aqualad stood there. Aqualad turned the light on and walked into the room.

"It's just a mouse, Sapphire. He won't hurt you." He told her with a comforting smile.

"Yeah girl, he's probably more scared of you than you are of him. Don't be scared." Then she crossed her arms. "But I do hate mice. I wonder how it got in the tower."

"Don't worry. We'll just set out some mouse traps tomorrow morning." Aqualad offered. Sapphire still had a pouting look on her face. "It's nothing to fret about." Aqualad said gently, like he was talking to an infant.

"But I don't like it." Sapphire complained. "It made horrible scratching noises and then it jumped out at me."

"If you want, you can sleep in my room." Aqualad offered.

"Uh uh, you know the rules Aqualad. No titan members of the opposite gender sharing rooms." Bee reminded him.

"I know; I was going to sleep on the couch."

"You'd do that for me?" Sapphire asked.

"Sure. Come on, I'll get you all set up." Aqualad said as he turned and walked out. Sapphire slowly set down one foot on the floor, and then when she felt safe enough she ran out of her room in a heart beat. Aqualad was snooping through a closet in the hallway. He pulled out a little black box. "Here, this will trap him without killing him. I'll just set it behind your bed and we'll have him out in no time." And Aqualad walked back into her room. He set the trap down behind her bed and walked back out. "There."

"You're not afraid?"

"Nah, not of a mouse." He said. She bowed her head and crossed her arms.

"I feel so embarrassed." Sapphire admitted.

"Why?"

"I know everybody is afraid of something, but I'm afraid of a little old mouse."

"So? It doesn't make you any less of a hero." Sapphire just smiled at him. "You're one of the strongest heroes I know. My powers are almost nothing compared to yours."

"You really think I'm a strong a hero?"

"Of course I do. I don't stand a chance."

"That's not true. It's not all about strength, it's also about brains and courage." Aqualad went silent for a minute. "When I use my powers, I push myself to the limit, mentally and physically. That's how my attacks are so strong. I also listen to my heart."

"I never thought about it being a matter of heart."

"If it's something really important to you, or someone whom you hold close, then your powers will be stronger. Everyone's powers are fueled by courage and love."

"Thanks Sapphire." He said with another handsome smile. She just smiled back.

"Now, how about that room?"

Everyone in the tower went back to sleep in just a matter of minutes. Sapphire was snuggled up quite comfortably in Aqualad's bed. It was nice and warm, and it was a water bed of all things. Every time she nuzzled down further into the covers it would rock her to sleep. She felt safe in his room, and enjoyed being in such a personal spot of his. Even his own scent was on the bed. It was the scent of the ocean, and it soothed her. Aqualad was on the couch, and he managed to get to sleep. The couch wasn't as comfortable as his bed, but he managed. He felt good knowing that Sapphire was benefiting from his bed. He even chuckled to himself a bit before he drifted off into sleep from the humor of the whole event. Little did he know that the morning coming would be even more humorous.

Aqualad awoke before anyone else and got ready for the day. When he was having breakfast, Speedy came out and took a seat in front of him after getting his own bowl of cereal. "You're little girlfriend woke us up last night for nothing." He complained and then took a bite. He continued to talk with his mouth full, "I can't believe I woke up for a stupid mouse. It wasn't even that big."

"Hey, everyone is scared of something." Aqualad defended her. "And she's never even seen a mouse before. It's okay if she was frightened a bit." Then Bumblebee walked out.

"How's Sapphire?" she asked.

"She's not up yet." Aqualad replied.

"She gave me quite a scare last night." Bee said.

"Me too."

"Of course you." Speedy teased. Aqualad just threw him a glare. Mas y Menos came out and took a seat with the rest of them. Mas said something in Spanish and Menos answered him. The team just looked at the twins and then back at each other.

"Well, I'm just glad she's okay." Bumblebee stated. But they were interrupted when there was a scream from Sapphire.

"Now what?" Speedy said, annoyed again. Sapphire came darting out into the room! She ran up to them and began to speak out of breath!

"The mouse-is-in-the hallway!"

Then there was a squeak as the mouse squeezed under the door and ran into the main room. Everyone watched as it scampered around on the floor. "AHHH! Someone get it!" Sapphire yelled! Mas y Menos bolted over and tried to step on it!

"Don't step on it!" Bee shouted as she grabbed a bucket and flew over to them, but Mas y Menos crashed into her and she fell, dropping the bucket. The mouse continued to run around the room and cause more chaos! Speedy picked up the bucket and leaped forward, trying to catch the mouse under the bucket but it escaped his attempt! Bee started fussing at the Spanish twins and Speedy went on with his bucket idea. Aqualad watched as everyone ran around screaming about the little mouse and began to chuckle. Sapphire crawled up onto the table.

"Aqualad, do something!" she begged. He just took a box and laid it down on the floor and then he watched the little mouse run inside of it. He closed the box and stood up with it.

"See, no reason to freak out." He said and the other titans glared at him from the heap they were in. "Though I have to admit your way was much more entertaining." Aqualad laughed.

"LOOK!" Sapphire pointed to the box. Everyone saw the small hole in the side and the mouse climb out of it, drop down to the floor and run off. Aqualad looked at them a made a face.

"Oops." He said. Sapphire jumped of the table.

"Enough!" and she gathered some water from a cup on the table and held it in her hand. "I've had it with this rodent running around like he owns the place. I can't even sleep in my own room!" And she sent the water ball into the corner. The mouse, who had been huddling there in fear, was engulfed in the water bubble. Sapphire used her powers and picked it up and held it in the air with the mouse inside, running around in circles.

"Wow, good idea Sapphire." Bumblebee said as she walked over. Mas y Menos began to poke at the bubble.

"Porque no ella que en primero lugar?" Mas said.

"Yo saber." Menos answered. Sapphire just looked down at them and didn't say anything. "Dejar nosotros freir para arriba raton."

"Que ser repugnante." Mas replied to his brother's comment. Sapphire just walked over to the window and opened it. She tossed the mouse out like a baseball and closed the window again.

"Glad that's over. You can have your room back Aqualad." Sapphire informed him. Aqualad smiled.

"Thanks."

"I could have thought of that." Speedy said.

"I'm sure the bucket would have done the trick eventually." Sapphire said and crossed her arms. Everyone laughed at Speedy who turned red.
