Heyo. So here's my first (public) attempt at a Sandman fic. I hope that you all enjoy it, and that it does not suck... WELP here it is.
Movie Night
1.
"Dream? Are you home?"
"My sister?" Dream turned around and headed for his gallery. As he entered, he saw his sister Death standing in front of the wall holding his siblings' sigils.
"Oh there you are," she said with a smile.
"Did you need anything?" Dream asked.
"I wouldn't say need, per se," she said. "Dream, when was the last time you went out?"
He was dumbfounded. "…What?"
"You know. When was the last time you went and have fun?" Death asked.
"Sister, I'm not sure what you're trying to say."
"Oh it's simple," she said. "I'm taking you out to go see some movies with me."
He was dumbfounded again.
"No."
"Yes."
"No."
"Come on Dream, it'll be fun."
"I have responsibilities to my realm," he said. "I can't abandon them at the drop of a hat for something frivolous. And neither can you."
"First of all, we both know how good I am at multi-tasking," Death said. "Second, there is a difference between abandoning your responsibilities and taking a break. And are you having any emergencies? Any crisis that needs your immediate attention? An apocalypse maybe?"
"Sister…"
"No, there isn't." Death put her hands on her hips. "It's been way too long since you've had any fun at all. Now come on, I am taking you to a damn movie. Right now. No arguments."
Dream sighed and covered his eyes. "Fine," he said.
"Good," Death said. "Now hold on a sec while I get Delirium."
"Delirium? Is she coming with us?"
"Yeah. Should be fun." Death stood in front of their sister's sigil, a mass of swirling colors. "Delirium? Li'l sis? Me and Dream are gonna go see a movie. Wanna come with?"
"A movie?" they heard Delirium's voice through the frame. A moment later, she stood in Dream's gallery, a wide smile across her face. "Yes yes yes yes yes!"
"Excellent," Death said. She linked her arms with each of her siblings', and they began to travel. "Off we go!"
A moment later, they were standing in front of a small brick building in the waking world. A ticket window was next to the door, a man sitting behind the window and looking bored.
"It's a good place," Death said, holding open the door as Dream and Delirium walked in. "I come here sometimes. It's just one screen, but the atmosphere is great, the staff are friendly, and the movies are just overall fun."
"I saw a movie about a man who was eating and then there was a bug I think, maybe it was a flower, sometimes I like to watch when I'm dancing, and then there's red and blue and yellow and water," Delirium said.
"So what film are you making us watch?" Dream asked, walking into the room with the screen.
"First, we watch Mary Poppins," Death said.
"First?" Dream repeated.
"Can I have popcorn?" Delirium asked.
