"Alrighty everyone," Bandit says, "Everyone needs to go to sleep, it's midnight."

Bluey, Bingo, Muffin, Socks, and Jean Luc groans.

"We all need sleep kids," Chilli explains.

Bluey pipes up. "But me and Jean Luc are adults, why can't we stay up?"

"All of us are going to bed now, INCLUDING the adults," Chilli tells Bluey while looking at Bandit and Stripe.

They both groan and complain about not being tired.

"Well I have to go to my tent, I'll see you tomorrow?" Jean Luc says to Bluey.

"Hold on a moment." Bluey goes to Chilli and asks her if she could spend the night with Jean Luc in HIS tent.

"I don't see any problems, just don't do certain... Stuff, okay?"

Bluey gasps and says "Thank you so much, Mum! Good night!" She runs off to Jean Luc.

"Good night, you two!"

"Bonne nuit, madame Heeler." Jean Luc says to Chilli before they head into the tent.

~Bluey and Jean Luc head to his tent on the other side of the campground~

"Wow... Sleeping in the same tent as my boyfriend... This is very new!" Bluey says.

"I agree. I am used to sleeping in a room by myself. I have never shared a room with anyone before."

"This is definitely a day of firsts!"

"Days are so short and there is not enough time to do everything that you have wanted to do for that day... I want to do so much but there is only 24 hours in the day... This is one of those moments where I wished that the earth was further away so that there would be more time to spend during the day. More time that I could be spending with you."

"Awwwwwwwwwwwww! That was so cute! And so true," Bluey agrees.

"But your mother is right, we do need our sleep because we have more time to spend tomorrow to do whatever we wished."

"I never could get to sleep very fast and that's why I never liked going to bed. It's been that way since I was 6."

"Well, if you want to stay up until the break of dawn, then I will stay up with you. Just say the word."

Leaning onto Jean Luc, Bluey hugs him and says, "Okay... I will tell you the word..."

"So what do you want to talk about?... Bluey?"

He looks down and realises that she fell asleep.

"Oh... Jusqu'à demain, mon amour. Je t'aime, Bluey."

He easily lays Bluey down, then he lays down and falls asleep with her, calling it a day.
