"Firefly" By Owl City
Disclaimer: This song belongs to its respectful owners, and Toon belongs to Nintendo. But the plushie, he's my son so… yeah.

Toon Link stretched his tiny little arms, yawning loudly. He was tired from the long hike he had just done. It had been a long day, and he was dressed in his little jimmies and ready for bed. He made sure he had a bottle of soup next to his bed, his little nightlight, and his favorite blankie all with him.
Toon turned out the light, turning on his nightlight. But then he realized, he couldn't sleep! He tossed and turned, trying as hard as he could to fall asleep. But it was impossible! Finally, he just decided to lay there. And that's when he noticed, the fireflies!
They were swirling and dancing in the air, having flown through his open window. The soft autumn breeze must have blown them in for a visit. He sat up, curious to know what they were. They didn't have these in Outset Island. He leaped out of bed, trying to catch one to look at it. But alas, Great Cat Eyes couldn't catch one. Sighing, Toon decided to look out his window, trying to fall back to sleep. But suddenly, he was overcome … with song.

"You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep (or tried)
'Cause they'd fill the open air
And leave teardrops everywhere
You'd think me rude
But I would just stand and stare…"

At least, Toon hoped this is what they were called. He thought the name suited them. He couldn't think of a better name then 'shiny bulbs', so the name would have to do. He wasn't sure why, but Toon Link was rather drawn to them. Maybe because they were pretty, or maybe because… they were flying thingies. He never knew. Toon laughed at himself. Hadn't he just told himself that he had to sleep? Wasn't he supposed to ignore the… fireflies? But oh well, they were pretty after all…

"I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems…"

It was true. As Toon jumped around and tried to catch the little things whilst in his footies, they would dance out of his grasp, and not soon afterwards, Toon started to look at it as something of a game. They seemed to think it was fun, because they kept playing!

"'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
From ten thousand lightning bugs
As they tried to teach me how to dance
A foxtrot above my head
A sock hop beneath my bed
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
When I fall asleep…"

"Toon, are you sleeping?" Sasha (AKA my OC, AKA Toon's adopted mother, AKA crazy water sorceress.) called from downstairs. Toon made a mad dash for his bed. He jumped into his bed, pulling the blankets up to his chin and staring up at the dancing bugs. "Yes!" He called downstairs. "Okay goodnight sweetie. Love you."
"Love you too Mommy! Nighty night!" He smiled up at the bugs. "See, you got me caught. But, I just can't forget about you, now can I?"

"Leave my door open just a crack
(Please take me away from here)
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac
(Please take me away from here)
Why do I tire of counting sheep
(Please take me away from here)
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep
To ten million fireflies
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes.."

Toon watched in sadness as another gust of wind blew, making the fireflies swirl and begin to whirl out of his window. Well, when the lights go bye-bye, it's time for Toonie to go to sleep. He pulled his blanket over his head.

"I got misty eyes as they said farewell
But I'll know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
When I fall asleep
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
When I fall asleep
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams…"

"Good night." Toon whispered to the darkness.

A/N: I hoped you guys liked it! Isn't my boy just so adorable? I loved this chapter, just because Toony's just so cute! Fun Fact: Owl City is a favorite band of mine!
Wolfdude: Okay, now cut the meaningless crap.
Shadow Rose: Yeah, don't you have an announcement?
FE: Oh yeah! Please submit your favorite song and what Smasher (or anyone else), you want to sing. I'll keep it open as long as I can!
Both Authors: Yeah, that announcement is over, what about the other one?
FE: Which one… oh.
ShadowRose: *glares(
FE: Fine. I'm … sorry for calling you two those names earlier.
Wolfdude: Apology NOT ACCEPTED!
FE: Screw you then!
ShadowRose: I accept your apology. Now, hug!
FE: Yay, at least you love me!
SR: *smiles*
FE: Wolfdude, I still say screw you.
Wolfdude: Fine, I'm gonna get some more cookies.
FE and SR: Fatass.
WD: Shut up, they're magically delicious!
FE and SR: LEPRECHAUN! WHERE'S MY POT OF GOLD!
WD: Damn! I just have the suits! (If you understand this reference, give yourself a pat on the back.)
SR and FE: Please tune in next time to see us beat the crap out of Wolfdude. Oh yeah, and for the next character sing!
Now… (both pull very real, very deadly and pointy … sticks)
COME HERE!
WD: AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH! (Jumps out window)
FE: He does realize that this is floor number 586, right?
SR: He'll find out in 1.27 seconds. (Loud crashing sound comes from outside.)
WD: I'm okay!
