"Bum bum bum..."

Sandy looked to the little girl in his sand boat who was playing with the sand as if at the beach. He smiled and shook his head, chuckling as she sang notes from a silly song she'd heard someone singing once.

"Bring me dream,"

He smiled, it was actually really cute, and she really enjoyed the song, so he had allowed the singing, so long as she whispered.

It had been nearly four months since the Guardians and Jack Frost had been called to the girl by the Man in the Moon. While Sandy had become the primary caregiver, Jack often times came by to play with her. Bunnymund had yet to see her since they found her, and North was seemingly too busy to remember that they had saved a little girl at all. Since Tooth hadn't actually come that night, she didn't know or care, too busy with her own work to pay much attention to anyone else's. But Jack...Jack was a case all his own. He had blatantly told everyone that he had no intention of becoming a "babysitter" or "getting involved", yet he always made time to see the little girl. She still couldn't see Jack though; in fact, it wasn't until recently that she started to take notice of certain things when he would arrive.

"Mr. Sandman, bring dreams~ make it cute..." The girl smiled and laughed softly as a light wind blew gently around her, bring a cold front as it did. "Cold!" She cheered as she stood and jumped.

Sandy frowned, but rolled his eyes and shook his head as a small smile came to his lips, he knew better than to think silence would come with Jack around. Instead, he took his sand ship up higher into the air as Jack drifted onto the ship.

Conjuring up the snow for a little whirlwind, Jack laughed as he watched the three year old chase after the snowy whirl of snowflakes.

"Come cold~!" She cooed cutely, trying to grab at the snow.

Sandy smiled as the two played and continued to sort through the dreams, weaving them in and out of the windows and rooftops of children. Helping them dream of the beautiful and wonderful things in life. He turned to the girl, her name, actually, Jack had named her, or...more specifically, he'd found her name.

While he could not speak in his demand for silence, henceforth, he could not give a name to the girl. He never spoke, it was just who he was. Not to say he couldn't he just didn't, he required silence, needed it...so not to wake the children.

No, it was Jack who had brought with him, the whisper of a name, one from the young girls country of origin, the whisper of a song. Kagome had been soft to her ears, but she had responded in glee, and had cried out to her mother. Thinking it was her mom to whisper to her softly in the cold of the night, and while normally, being mistaken for someone else would have set Jack off in an irritable rant, he could not hide the smile her happiness had caused. Who was he too deny the girl her mother's safety?

"Little kid's growing on me," Jack laughed as she slipped and fell into a pile of dream sand, it flew up and slowly floated down and around her, a few bits falling in her eyes as she blinked them away and tried to stifle a yawn. Failing in her attempts to try and fight back her sleep, she slowly stood and stumbled to a large pile of dream sand and pulled her blanket over her. She knew well when it was sleepy time. When her eyes became heave, and she couldn't keep them open, that meant Sandy wanted her to go to bed and get some sleep.

This time however, it was entirely Jacks fault. Sandy gave a small silent laugh and applauded Jack noiselessly as he lowered his ship of sand once more to continue weaving dreams out to the children.

"Hey Sandy?"

Sandy looked over his shoulder and found Jack crouched down next to the small girl they'd come to care for over the four month period which she'd been with Sandy. A question mark formed by sand appeared over his head.

"This...is this my cloak?"

Sandy smiled, a few signs above his head, one of a girl, the other of a hand, and a blanket, that blanket being Jack's Cloak. Sandy sighed.

Jack laughed softly and nodded in understanding, "If she likes it, she can keep it." He laid down against the pile of dream sand on the girls left looked up at the sky.

Sandy smiled and waved his hand towards Jack, a small cloud of dream sand falling into his eyes as he did.

"Huh? Ah...Sandy!" He yawned, "Mm, looks like I'm spending the night...I'll get you back...San...dy~"

Sandy shook his head as he closed his eyes, really, he wasn't watching one kid...he was watching two. That was okay though, he had learned long ago, before he was the Sandman that he loved kids...that was why he did what he did...that was why he was a Guardian.
