Chapter Two

Star Light

Sandy landed in a small town of Kayenta, Arizona. He knew it was near Star's home and he was also pretty sure that she would work close to home tonight, or at least he hoped.

Looking out towards the desert mountains he saw the moon start to rise in between them and he smiled, he then conjured up some of his golden sand and sent his dreams out to the children of Kayenta.

A couple of miles away, into a vast land of dry rock and shrubs stood a single cabin. This old cabin went unnoticed to the human eye because it sat on the top of one of the flattened mountains, looking out onto the desert from unimaginable heights.

Any creature that wasn't a bird would have been nervous about the distance between the top of the mountain and the ground; and yet, a large dog lay on the cabins porch, completely unaware of the breath taking view of the moons rise upon the valley.

A small fly landed on the dog's nose, causing him to let out an annoyed sniff. The fly flew up and came back, landing once more upon the wet surface. With a grunt the dog let out another sniff, but once more the fly landed on him.

Finally lifting his head, the fly flew away for the last time, while the dog blinked his droopy eyes and let out a large yawn. Looking around, he noticed that something was up… or wasn't up in this case.

Getting up, the dog raised his butt first, letting his back stretch comfortably causing him to let out another needed yawn.

Slowly, the old dog made his way into the cabin. He stopped at the door of the only bedroom and looked at the still sleeping bump hidden within the covers.

With a roll of his dark brown eyes, the dog made his way to the sleeping girl.

This girl on the bed was no ordinary girl, no, she was known at Star Light, the spirit of wishes. And she always had a knack for being late.

The teen was sound asleep on her stomach with one arm under her while the other hung off of one side of the bed. Her legs were mangled every which way tangling with the sheets, while her face was buried within her pillows.

Walking up to the side of her bed the dog gave her hand a quick lick before sitting down and staring at her unmoving figure. Once more, he licked her hand and waited… Still nothing.

Growling with frustration, the dog bit onto her glove and began to tug. Star, not wanting to wake up, mumbled angrily before pulling her arm away from her dog. She rolled over onto her side groaning a, "Go away Buster."

Buster, the dog, sat once more, almost glaring at her backside. Finally he let out a loud bark, which had the girl shooting up. "What is it?!" Star panicked, while trying to turn towards her companion. "What's wrong?! Who- Ahh!" With legs being caught within the sheets of her squirming figure, she fell off the side of her bed, landing on the wooden floor with a thud.

She groaned as she lay upon the cold floor. Her hand came up to her aching head before she heard another bark. "Ok." She grumbled before freeing her legs from the sheets and standing. "I'm up." She looked to the other side of the bed, where her dog sat looking up at her innocently.

She sighed and began to walk out of the room while rubbing her sore butt. "You're a horrible alarm clock, you know that?" She called back to her dog with a grumpy attitude.

If dogs could shrug, Buster would have, before making his way back out onto the porch. He sat, causing the old wood to creak under him. Staring at the moon, which brought a white glow upon the now blue and purple land, he felt a presence beside him.

Looking up he saw Star stretching and letting out a large yawn. She then looked out onto the valley with a content sleepy smile. Buster wondered how long it would take her to notice that-

"Good Morning Buster." Star said with a much nicer voice than before, not being as asleep or cranky. She patted him on the head before looking out towards the moon. She loved mornings the most. Of course, her mornings were not exactly the same as everyone else's, considering she rose with the moon, but she was used to it after the hundreds of years.

"Good morning moon." She said with another smile feeling a good mood start to overtake her sleepiness. The sky was clear, the moon was bright; tonight was going to be a good night for-

"WORK!" Star let out a startled shriek, finally realizing what was going on. "I'm so late!" She panicked as she bolted into the cabin with ungraceful speed.

Buster looked back towards the open door, hearing his masters panicking voice from within and also hearing what sounded like crashing and banging. With a furry eyebrow raised he watched as Star burst through the door, still yelling about how late she was.

Tripping down the broken stairs of the porch, Star caught her footing before running towards the cliff. "Bye Buster!" She called back before making her way down the mountain, hopping from one steep rock to the next. Luckily she was very used to the height by now.

She landed on the ground causing the dust and rubble to scrape under brown boots. She started to run, taking a quick glance at the moon which shined especially bright onto her path. "I know!" She said guiltily. "I'm late."

Star picked up her pace, dodging small shrubs and rocks that freckled across the flat, dry land. The desert air was cool and felt good against her glowing skin.

Looking towards the light of the city in the far distance Star groaned, she then remembered her pouch of wishing dust that hung on her brown belt. Slowing her run to a jog she put a hand on the pouch, thinking about how she could use her dust to get her there faster via portal, yet, doubt filled her mind only seconds after. Her portals didn't always taker her where she wanted them to go, it was a guessing game really, and she was not good a guessing.

Sighing she removed her hand from her pouch and began running faster once more. She would save her attempt for another day.

After a while she reached the long empty road that led straight to town. With a smile she began her run along the smooth cement. She glanced once more towards the sky, this time not to the moon but to the stars. Her smile dropped when she noticed only one or two shining dots.

Bringing her hands up to her mouth she yelled towards the sky. "Hey! Rise and shine!" She yelled turning around in her run to yell along the other part of the sky. "Time to get up!" She laughed before spinning around once more. "We got wishes to grant!"

One by one stars appeared in the night sky like freckles on a clear face. Star let out another laugh before picking up her pace once more and making her way towards town. She may not be the most skilled spirit, actually she was far from skilled, but she was especially thrilled with her job. No matter how clumsy she was, the stars shined bright wherever she went, heck, she shined wherever she went!

As far as Star was convinced, she wouldn't trade her job for the world. 'Yup, tonight was going to be great!' She thought excitedly.

...As the night came to an end Star sat on top of building looking out onto the houses which littered the desert of her home. She sighed tiredly. There were an unusual amount of wishes that night, especially within this small town.

Her feet dangled off the ledge while she felt a warm breeze brush her golden hair over her shoulders. By the warm wind, she could tell that the sun would soon be rising, and her job would be done for the night.

Star smiled and closed her eyes, already dreaming of her warm bed that was waiting for her at home. A couple days ago she got back from a long trip to Asia, granting wishes from one end to the other, and there was nothing she missed more than her home. The vast desert sky from atop her mountain was perfect for looking at stars.

"Well, it seems there aren't any more wishes." Star said as she stood with a sigh, not feeling the wishes of the children in the area. Wiping her hands Star looked towards Kayenta once more. "Good night Kayenta." She said with a smile before turning and jumping onto the building's roof.

Star gasped seeing a small golden man standing on the other side of the building.

Sucking in breaths she clutched the rail of the building that was behind her, the small man smiled apologetically at her. Gold sand floated around him, holding him a couple feet above the building's roof.

Finally catching her breath, Star tore her death grip away from the rail, giving the man a glare until she finally realized who he was.

"Sandman?" She questioned and he smiled widely before nodding and moving his gold sand to move around her. Star smiled watching the sand, which was almost identical to her dust, swirl around her, forming shapes of animals and such before going back towards Sandy.

She let out a small laugh before putting her hands on her hips. "Man Sandy, how long has it been?" She laughed once more. "I mean I haven't seen you since Disney Land opened."

Sandy smiled and shrugged a little, he floated closer and Star walked towards him closing the distance. She looked down at him now that he wasn't so far away.

"How have you been?" She asked happily.

Sandy signed a couple positive things, like a check mark, an A+, a 100%, all causing Star to giggle a little. "Well that's great." She spoke happily. "I'm really glad to see you Sandy, it's been too long."

Sandy nodded sadly, but Star quickly cheered up. "Well you're here now." She beamed, letting off a light glow. "And so randomly too, it just makes it all the better."

Sandy quickly looked away, his smile leaving his features while he fiddled with his small hands.

"Sandy?" He heard Star's confused voice from above and he looked up, trying to smile, but the look of confusion wouldn't leave her face. He rubbed the back of his neck nervously.

"You are here randomly, right?" Star questioned while crossing her arms and eyeing him. He was acting very suspicious, and all she could wonder was why Sandy would visit her out of the blue. "Why are you here?" She finally asked.

Sandy looked away quickly and then looked back. Taking a deep breath he started to sign everything, from the Guardians to the Man in the Moon. Once he was done he let out a much needed breath before looking back to Star.

Clearly whatever he just showed her, made absolutely no sense to her, because she stood with one brow raised, eyes wide, and mouth slightly ajar. "Um, what?"

Sandy sighed and realized that this would go nowhere. He then signed North's workshop.

"North's place?" Star questioned and Sandy smiled giving a thumbs up, then he showed her a small him and her, flying there.

"Wait, hold on." Star held up a hand and his vision melted away. "You're saying you came here to take me to North's workshop?"

Sandy nodded with a large smile, relief washed through him at her finally understanding.

"No."

And just like that Sandy's smile dropped.

Star turned around and walked toward the edge of the building. "There is no way I'm going to North's. Sorry Sandy, but that's just not happening."

As Sandy wondered why Star wouldn't want to go, Star stared out onto the city thinking about what could possibly be waiting at North's for her. Having Sandy here, obviously meant that whatever was going on, it probably had to do with the Guardians. She remembered Sandy briefly signing all of them, but the real question was, what could they want with her?

Whatever it was, Star kept thinking how it couldn't possibly be a good thing. Every spirit knew how clumsy she was, even the Guardians. They have had to help her out of a couple sticky situations in the past, like the time she got stuck in that lamp in India. Star shuddered and tried to forget about that thought.

Truth was, whenever she dealt with the Guardians before, it was because she messed something up, and not just something but something big. Star thought about her past couple years and nothing catastrophic came to mind, at least nothing that the Guardians would feel the need to get involved. Or at least that's what she hoped. Her messing up always led to some sort of consequence also, another reason for avoiding this trip.

Star sighed and her shoulders slumped while she looked towards the ground. The main reason for not wanting to go was because she felt like such a mess around them. Sure, compared to other spirits she was considered pretty clumsy, but when compared to the Guardians, she was downright the biggest screw up ever.

'Not again.' Star thought while gripping the rail tightly, a look of determination coming to her face. She still wasn't planning on going to North's, mainly because she really didn't want to get in trouble. Hey, she was a teenager, punishment was like the plague.

"It was good seeing you and all, but like I said before Sandy…" Star started to turn around. "I'm not going to-"

Before Star could finish her sentence and ball of gold sand hit her face, causing he eyes to close and her legs to give way. When all was done, Star lay on the ground sleeping soundly with golden stars dancing above her head.

Sandy looked on guilty. During the long silence he realized that putting her to sleep was probably the only way to get her to cooperate.

Patting Star on the head, he lifted her gently using his sand before they both took off towards North's workshop. He just hoped that when she woke up she wouldn't hate him for putting her to sleep like that.
