              Chapter Five: A Child on the Inside

         You screech at the top of your lungs, realizing how much trouble you were in. Of course I had to mess with the King of Dreams! you mentally laugh to yourself. You start to sprint for your life, smiling and giggling like a mad woman as you flee. You throw your head back and see Sandy flying towards you at full speed, the feather dusters following quickly behind him. He’s smiling playfully, his tingling laughter vibrating in the night sky.

         You scream at the sight and start to run faster. You run down the road into town, your arms and legs pumping at full speed. You never were good at running, but you were very, very motivated; more than ever before. You could feel your feet flying over the pavement, your heart pounding faster and faster.

         Suddenly, a golden blur shoots right beside you from behind, just barely missing your head. You looks back and squeal as you see the Guardian start to fling multiple feather dusters at you. As the sand is shot at you, you try to duck and bend, barely dodging the cleaning tools of doom.

         You feel yourself tiring out, something you know you cannot do. An idea strikes you, and you wait for the next feather duster to be thrown at you. Not too soon, one whizzes by your head, and you pounce at the opportunity.

         You quickly start to wave your hands, taking control of the blob of sand that was just shot at you. With a flick of the wrist, you turn the blob into a pillow. After taking a hasty turn on your heel, you briskly whip the pillow at Sandy, and it starts knocking him around playfully. Sandy stops chasing you and flinging dusters, momentarily distracted by the golden pillow.

        I bet he’s mad he showed me how to control sand now, you chuckle to yourself. You take this opportunity to get away and hide.

         You eventually reach the town park and throw yourself behind one of the oak trees, trying to catch your breath. Other than your heavy panting and the occasional crickets, it’s completely silent. No tingling. No ringing.

Nothing.

         Sandy finally manages to escape by making his own sand pillow to attack yours. He quickly looks around for you, but you’re nowhere in sight. The Guardian mumbles a silent curse to himself, but he can’t help but feel pride sweep over him.

         Suddenly, Sandy feels it. Your blinking light. He can feel it calling out to him, beckoning him. A slow smile spreads up the golden man’s face. Comes in handy, he thinks to himself. Without even thinking, Sandy follows the feeling inside of him, letting it guide him closer and closer to you.

         You peek out from behind the tree and quickly glance around. Strange, I haven’t seen him yet… maybe I really did lose him? you think, smiling triumphantly at yourself.

         No sooner do you think that, a golden blur comes flying at you. Not expecting it at all, you scream in shock as you feel something tighten around your waist. You immediately look down and see a golden whip wrapped around you, locking your arms at your side, making you completely helpless. A soft tingling sound makes you throw your head up, wide eyed.

         Out from the shadows emerges Sandy, holding tightly onto his whip, a sly smirk on his face, and the feather dusters following close behind him. With his nimble wrist, he manages to twist you around, then pulls on the whip, making you fall to the ground on your back. Without missing a beat, the Guardian swiftly flies to you and pins your shoulders to the grass.

         You look up at him, horror struck as the dusters float closer and closer to you. You finally lock eyes with Sandy, him sitting on top of you, whimpering and pleading him not to do it. Sandy simply continues to smirk at you, and playfully wags his finger at you; a soft tutting noise escaping his mouth. You give him a soft glare, remembering him doing that exact same action the first night you met. Sandy grins playfully, his eyes suddenly sparking with mischief.

         Before you could blink, the soft, sandy feathers attack you; brushing up against your neck, your ears, your arms; everywhere. You scream out in laughter, not able to contain them. You don’t want to satisfy the Sandman with your guffaws, but you can’t control them as they escape your lips.

         Sandy continues to hold you down, laughing heavily (but silently) at the show before him. The glow of the sand reflects perfectly on your face, your completion looking breathtaking. He continues to hold on to you, finding it difficult to do with your constant squirming and wiggling. You giggle and squeal like a small child, making Sandy’s heart explode with happiness. Even though you’re older, you’re still the child he has grown to love.

         After finally having his fill on revenge, he lifts the dusters off of your face and makes them disappear. You continue to snort a bit, trying to catch your breath as tears stream down you face. Sandy smiles down at you and rises off your chest. He floats behind your head, lifts it, and rests it in his lap, allowing your skull some comfort from the cold ground. You continue to giggle occasionally, your chest rising and falling dramatically. The Guardian simply brushes his hands through your hair and patiently waits for you to fully relax. As he strokes your hair, he notices how soft it is, like silk.

         You’ve finally calm down, but you continue to rest your head on Sandy’s lap and just enjoy him playing with your hair. You both sit there for a few minutes, relaxing after all of the excitement you’ve just endured.

         You love Sandy with all of your heart. He’s the one person you can tell anything to, and you know he would never tell another soul. He always listens and never judges you. He knows exactly what to do if you’re sad or scared. His soft tingling sound still makes you giggle every time. You’ve gotten much better and quicker at understanding what Sandy’s trying to say. You know that the golden man truly is your best friend, and you can’t imagine a life without him.

         As Sandy looks down at you, he feels his heart explode with love and happiness. He always looks forward to the day when the both of you can see each other again. You may not know it, but he still kisses your forehead every time you fall asleep when he visits; almost like tradition. Sandy’s heart melts every time he sees you, watching you slowly start to grow. You definitely have developed more, growing into a strong, spirited teenager. The Guardian loves everything about you, how you are so optimistic, the way you laugh, how you still have that childish innocence even after all these years. You are a kind and caring person, and Sandy only wants to make you happy. He wants you to never cry or be sad. Most importantly, the golden Guardian would do whatever he could to protect you. You mean so much to him, and if anything was to happen to you… he doesn’t know what he’d do with himself.

         You feel yourself growing tired, a yawn escaping from your lips. Sandy softly chuckles at you, then twirls one of his hands around. A dream cloud starts to form beneath the both of you, the smooth, gritty-ness of it under your skin. You feel yourself take to the air and fly for home, but you don’t move. You don’t want to leave Sandy’s side for one minute. Besides…

This will be the last time you'll see him for quite a while.
