A/N this is just some random little fic I came up with, I got hit by the plot bunny when I was watching Season 3 Episode 3, The Goblins Gold, when Gaius told Morgana to count sheep like regular people…. REVIEW! NO FLAMES!

Disclaimer: I do not own Merlin, I wish I did though…

Morgana

"Why can't you count sheep like regular people?"

The words echoed in Morganas mind as she walked down the halls, she had no idea what was wrong with Gaius, he was acting a little strange, and no one could disagree with that!

She sighed. Perhaps his old age was getting to him.

She opened the door to her chambers, and then she set her hard earned sleeping drought on her bedside table. Counting sheep… Morgana thought, had she ever tried to do that?

No. and why would I, it's a childish thing to do. She thought to herself. So how would I know whether it works or not. "Hmmmmmm." Morgana said to herself, "Maybe the old man could be right."

A FEW HOURS LATER…

After Gwen had left, Morgana sat in the darkness, staring at the ceiling. Count sheep. She sighed, this was so childish! But she had to know if it worked, the curiosity was too great. Morgana sighed again tossing and turning once or twice, fluffing up her pillows, anything to prolong the time.

At last she had run out of things to do. And she was once again, staring at the ceiling. Again. Morgana closely inspected said ceiling. It was wood. Wood. That was very good to know. Wood. It's a strange word, she decided, though all words are strange if you think about it too much.

Counting sheep. Right. You must count sheep Morgana.

Morgana sighed, she didn't have much of a choice now didn't she? She cleared her throat and called out in to the night, "One sheep." Silence engulfed her. Wow, she felt so stupid right now, her, a powerful seer like herself, counting sheep. None the less, Gaius said it would work, so she said, "Two sheep. Three sheep. Four sheep. Five sheep. Six sheep. Seven sheep."

And thus the Lady Morgana, powerful seer, counted sheep late in to the night.

A FEW MORE HOURS LATER. A.K.A: SUNRISE….

"One trillion, seven million, four thousand nine hundred and forty nine sheep"Morgana said. eyes wide and alert, still, and she was quite irritable. So much she might have ripped someone's head off if they got too close.

"One trillion, seven million, four thousand nine hundred and fifty sheep." She said threw gritted teeth. Of course, she didn't have any nightmares but she didn't sleep either. Gaius. This is all your fault! She thought angrily, she wanted to yell curses, but she said instead, "One trillion, seven million, four thousand nine hundred and fifty one sheep."

LATER THAT DAY, AROUND LUNCH TO BE EXCACT…

Morgana stormed into Gaius's chambers.

"GAIUS!" She roared, "YOU LIAR! COUNTING SHEEP DOESN'T WORK!"

"Well, I didn't say it would, no did I?" Gaius said.

"But, you said…. and the… SHEEP… all night…. Doesn't work!... and the… and I… counting…and…" Morgana stammered, the effects of not sleeping a single, god forsaken, wink, all night, started to take a toll on her brain.

"Now, now, dear, just take the sleeping drought I gave you yesterday."

"GLADLY!" Morgana huffed, storming out of the room, leaving a chuckling Gaius, and a confused looking Merlin, who had witnessed the whole scene silently from the back of the room.

THE END
