"Mom! Dad! Ombric! Somebody! Anybody! Where are you guys?!" Jani screamed as she ran around Santoff Claussen looking for her parents, a grown up or even one of the other kids. She had gone for a walk in the woods that surrounded Santoff Claussen and when she got back everyone was gone. After about an hour of looking Bear came lumbering over to her and picked her up he then went over to where Petrov was and put her on Petrov's back then Bear, Petrov, and a very reluctant Jani started to make their way North.
"I'm so scared. I wish you were here Jack, you'd make everything better." Jani sighed as she stared up at the moon and stars. Just then what looked like a shooting star passed by.
"I wish I could see my big brother Jack again." Jani wished as she watched the star streak across the sky.
As Jani wished on what she thought was a star, Sandy, who was what Jani had really seen, heard her wish so he sent her a dream about what she had wished for, and because he was curious as to who exactly her older brother had been, he watched the dream. And he soon saw that her brother was in fact one of the Guardians, Jack to be exact, who was at the very location that Bear, Petrov, and Jani were headed for, so Sandy flew down to where they were.
"Would you like me to help you to get to where you are going, because I am also headed there?" Sandy asked in his dream voice.
"Oh my. You must be the Sandman. My parents used to tell me about you, and I would love it if you helped us get there faster." Jani cried with delight "Oh! I'm Janice Heartly." She added quickly.
"I know by the way your brother Jack is still alive, though he goes by Jack Frost now instead of Jackson Overland Heartly now." Sandy said soothingly smiling his brightest as he said it.
"Oh. Thank you for telling me, but how did you know that I missed my big brother?" Jani replied looking slightly confused as she said it.
Because you told me you wished to see your big brother again." Sandy replied simply.
"Oh! That was you not a shooting star?" Jani asked.
"Yes it was me. By the way Jack is where we are going. " Sandy replied back.
"Well let's be on our way." Jani twittered happily.
"Indeed." Sandy replied as he lifted the three travelers up using his dreamsand.
For the rest of the journey the four traveled in silence.
