A/N: Sooo this idea has been bouncing around in my head for a while now screaming, "POST ME! POST ME!" and it was giving me a headache so I fianlly decided to kick it out of my brain. Now if there's any mistakes let me know beacuse it is late and my brain is starting to malfunction and I'm misspelling everyother word. That and my betas decided that they didn't want to help me so blame them! Anywayyys i don't really expect this story to get really popular so I'll post chapter one and if it's not getting any love (*cough* reviews *cough*) I will not be continuing this.

The prologue happens before Jack joined the Guardians just so you know. Enjoy!

Discalmer: Yeah, right. (Can't you just feel the sarcasm just oozing out of that?)

Prologue

"Whose turn is it again?"Bunny asked off handedly.

It was one of their rare meetings and all the four Guardians were gathered at the Pole. And their only purpose being to debate who had to visit the Reaper.

"Isn't me." North said matter of factly, crossing his arms. "I vent last time."

"Isn't it your turn Bunny?" Tooth asked fluttering a few feet away from him.

The pooka jumped, "Crikey don't sneak up on me like that Tooth! And no it isn't, I went the time before North did."

Sandy made an arrow pointing to himself.

North looked to Sandy, "It's your turn? Vats very good then. Ah, I get back to work now..."

"Why do we even check on the kid anyways? Aren't there tons of others out there too? Why do we have to check on her? She's creepy." Bunny emphasized, trying to prove his point.

"Because Manny asked us to remember?" Tooth responded. "He asked us to keep an eye on her in case Pitch ever tried to contact her."

Bunny sighed, "Yeah, yeah. I know. At least I'm not going this time."

Sandy glared at Bunny before waving at Tooth and North and flying away.

"Bye, Sandy!" Tooth's voice followed him to the exit, along with a sarcastic "good luck" from Bunny. Sandy allowed his dream sand to form into a huge manta ray; it carried him to Siberia where the Reaper had set up her 'base'. It was day there but since it was winter the temperature was nearing -50°F the Sandman didn't have to worry about humans seeing the gigantic manta ray flying across the sky. He couldn't feel changes in temperature much but he could tell it was cold; he was half surprised that he didn't see Jack Frost around.

When Sandy saw the familiar outcropping of rocks below him, he let the manta ray dissipate and floated to the ground. Upon entering the cave Sandy looked around to see if anything had changed since his last visit. A rather large fireplace now occupied one wall of the cave, filling the room with light. A bed with dark covers that hadn't been made, a dresser and a nightstand, along with an oversized armchair and a table standing next to it. There was a door to his left that he knew lead to the bathroom. The bookshelf in the corner was overflowing with books and there were piles of books stacked next to it that wouldn't fit on the shelves; the other Guardians, after finding her love for books often sent her any they got their hands on. On the far wall was a counter with a stove and rows of dark cabinets. And the newest addition to the room was a microwave sitting on the counter.

"Hello Sandman." A voice said next to him.

Sandy turned to see the person who now stood next to him. He smiled up at the dark haired teen. Unlike his fellow Guardians, Sandy didn't see the girl next him as creepy, just a little different. Sandy waved at the girl and he was granted a rare smile from the usually stoic faced Reaper.

Sandy twisted his hands, he hated to bring it up but it was part of the reason he was there in the first place. He sighed before creating an image over his head that the Reaper immediately understood.

She nodded, dark locks falling in front of her face. "Yes, I have seen him recently. I believe you should be on the lookout about him; he seems to be growing stronger. It's very worrisome." She maneuvered around the bed and pulled two cups from one of the cabinets along the wall. She filled them full of water and put them in the microwave after placing teabags in them. When the timer went off she offered one to him, "Tea?"

Sandy accepted the warm cup and sipped it before creating a few more symbols over his head. He also liked her for her ability to always know what he was trying to say with his pictures, it made a regular conversation between them easier.

She shook her head as she relaxed in the armchair and Sandy made one of his own so he could sit as well. "No, I'm not afraid of Pitch in the slightest. If anything he is afraid of me."

Sandy nodded as if this made sense to him. The two sat for a while before the Reaper spoke again, "I really do enjoy when you visit Sandman." Sandy nodded happily in agreement.

Sadly, both had to return to their respective jobs not long after. The Reaper walked Sandy to the entrance of the cave and watched him create a plane out of his dust. "I'll see you soon?" Sandy recognized the hope in the girls' voice and gave her the most convincing smile and nod he could before his plane took off down the icy rocks and into the grey sky.

When he looked back he saw her waving and in the next second she blinked out of existence.
