Go figure. rolls eyes I also don't own the song "Make A Wish", that belongs to Pokemon, and whoever wrote it for the latest Jirachi movie.

Summary: Shalimar Fox sings a lullaby to her best and closest friend when he has problems sleeping.

He looked so innocent when he slept. His hair fell in little untidy bangs over his forehead, and his eyelashes curled softly over his eyes. His breathing was even and deep, and it would take a nuclear explosion to wake him.

Well, usually, that was the case.

But tonight, and quite several nights for almost a month now, Shal had had to endure the pain of watching the man she loved toss and turn as nightmares plagued his dreams each night, and she would always end up rushing to his side to hold and comfort him when he woke, screaming with nightmares.

She knew all about his nightmares. Emma and Adam had been closer to them, far more important than just friends or teammates. Emma had almost been the little sister both of them had never had, and Adam was like a second father to both of them. An actual father-figure who put stability into their lives, and showed them how to live, love, to fight and laugh and grow each day – the way their real parents never had.

Tonight though, Shal was determined to try a different tactic. He had to get some sleep somehow, and the feral decided to try the same trick her mother had always used to soothe her to sleep back when she was a little girl.

She was going to sing him a lullaby.

Shal gently smoothed the lines on his forehead from his restless dreams. She began to sing softly, her voice filling the room.

"When daytime turns to night,

When the moon shines bright,

When you're tucked in tight,

When everything's all right,

Slip softly to that place,

Where secret thoughts run free

And there come face-to-face,

With who you want to be

So, swim across the ocean blue,

Fly a rocket to the moon

You can change your life,

Or you can change the world,

Take a chance, don't be afraid,

Life is yours to live

Take a chance, and know the best is yet to come!

Make a wish

It's up to you

Find the strength inside,

Then watch your dreams come true

You don't need a shooting star,

The magic's right there in your heart

Close your eyes – believe, and make a wish.

I've always hoped for happiness

And finally fulfilled my wish

Cause I just need to see you smile
