Chapter Two: Two Silly Girls

This could not be happening! The Man in the Moon was nearing his wits end on trying to get in contact with his two special agents, as he liked to call them. He had sent out message after message, summoned them and all he got back were notes telling him too busy to come. He knew he should be use to the both of them by now, but they were running over him like a car runs over potholes. He knew he could try to involve Sandy, but after the reaction from his old friend, the Sandman, he felt better to try and do this himself. He found himself thinking back to how they had come to be and heaved a sigh before moving and leaving the moon to go retrieve them himself.

The day was bright and children were in school, learning what knowledge they could, and yet in the corner one small boy had a large smile plastered on his face. He had never been one to enjoy Math, so he normally let him mind wander to a new place filled with mythical animals. He loved his imaginative land where no one ruled and all were friends. The butterflies held humanoid bodies and danced and sang, and unicorns, Pegasus and dragons lived together in peace. He always slipped off to here in Math class, and yet made sure he would look like he was paying attention. It was in this land that he had made a very special friend. She was a beautiful Unicorn with golds woven throughout her entire body and mane and tail. She would talk with him, and always ask how he was doing and he found he always enjoyed her company, since he felt he could be himself, just like every other 8 year old wished to be.

His name was Travis, and he had a rather unpleasant home life. His mother had passed away at a young age which left his father to take up the bottle. He knew his father had taken his wife's death hard, and so felt the need to be wasted all the time, which made him throw things around and yell all the time. Travis had created his special place after, so he could get away from the sad home he held and see a beautiful place filled with friends and wonder, love and where he could be as creative as possible to make him forever smile. He was just now getting to his special rock and already saw his wonderful friend waiting for him, her coat shimmering gently in the light, but was pulled from the daydream by a rule cracking upon his desk. He straightened and looked up to the teacher before he nodded and moved to do a problem on the board. Once he had gotten back to his seat he took time to look out the window, watching the specs of dust and particles floating in the rays of sunshine.

Delilah was more than a bit peeved at the teacher as she floated before the boy as the tiny shimmering particles, caressing him in a protective manner. If she was in her full form, she would no doubt be brightly glowing in pure anger. How dare that teacher nearly hit him with a ruler… and for what? To interrupt his spender or a better world, a better place that was more enjoyable. She had stayed close to Travis ever since he had created the world to get away from the harsh world he lived in. She had found him in the place sobbing and talking to his mother, who had died. It had broken her heart with his words that asked why daddy had to be so mean. She tended to everyone who held an imagination, and to those who daydreamed, but for some reason Travis and a few others held a special place in her heart, and she made sure to guard over them if they needed it. This was the reason she had been ignoring the Man in the Moon.

At the ring of the class bell, Delilah moved back outside the school, since she knew Travis would not need her for the rest of the day. She took the time to rest upon her cloud, leaned back with a soft look upon her face. Delilah was a very beautiful young woman with elfin fey like features. She was about 5 foot 5 and had light blond hair that was short, similar to that of a bob cut. Her hair was silky soft and appeared to be almost like feathers, the tips spiking out in layers upon layers. Her eyes were a captivating golden white in color that could easily take in everything around her. She wore a long, strapless dress that was a bright golden-white in color and woven with sand and dandelion wisps to signal her strength of creating day dreams. As she reclined upon the soft, fluffy white cloud, she let the smile form upon her face as she felt her body relaxing.

As she relaxed atop her cloud, she would feel a strange tug within her stomach before her body would disappear from her cloud, the cloud slowly dispersing into smaller clouds. When her feet landing upon the ground, she knew she must have finally ticked off the Man in the Moon enough to have him physically bring her to his realm. She looked around at the beautifully elegant palace and walked towards the main throne room she knew all too well. As she walked, she kept her ears opened and on full alert just in case anything out of the ordinary came strolling her way. While she moved through the maze like structure of the palace, The Mane in the Moon had one more task to do and so he went forth once more, knowing exactly where the other would be since he had acquired Delilah.

Back upon the Earth, cheers erupted into the air as children and adults milled around a small race track. Within the race track, handmade cars zoomed and zipped merrily around. It seemed that the loudest hoots and hollers came from a figure floating above the race, fist shooting into the air in pure excitement. The figure was a young, slightly tanned female who looked to be around seventeen years of age. She had bright, strong violet eyes that held such a fighting spirit and long red hair that fell in curls around her delicate features. She looked to be about 5 foot 9 with a nicely formed body that held curves in all the right places. She wore a pair of dark brown pants that fit her form nicely with a light green tunic like shirt left untied upon her chest. Around her neck dangled a necklace with a carousel horse prancing about. She went by the name of Valeria, and she made sure to keep the Fighting Spirit alive and strong as ever.

As the race continued, she moved to follow the cars until one crossed the finish line, causing her to summersault within the air in pure joy! She loved these races the best! Not only did the children get so enthusiastic, but the parents even screamed positive words to go faster, do better. The large crowd of people that cheered and kept the spirit alive in the competitions always made her overjoyed and had her heart soaring high within the sky of happiness. She watched with a kind smile as the small girl jumped up and down, her father lifting her and twirling her within the air as they both laughed and he congratulated her on her car winning. This was what she loved the most… seeing how happy people were, even the children who had not won, still laughed and had a wonderful time.

She did not get to enjoy the victory chant for too long, since her body was soon ripped from its place and pulled to a place that made her heave quite the heavy sigh. Great…of all the times the Man in the Moon just HAD to pull her back up here like she was in some kind of trouble! She looked around and beamed brightly though at the figure she noticed walking down the hallway. Crouching low to the ground she launched herself right at Delilah as she tackled her to the floor. Poor Delilah never saw Valeria coming until she was upon the ground, little flowers spinning above her head to the sound of birds chirping.

"DANDY! How is your day going so far? I haven't seen you since this morning!"

"Ah… Valeria, do you mind? I'm seeing flowers from your graceful swan dive." Delilah was very soft spoken.

Hearing Dandy speaking pulled Valeria from her happy antics as she scrambled to get off the other and even bent down to help her back up from the floor, looking sheepish the entire time. She then went about dusting off Dandy's dress while chuckling happily with a giant shrug of her shoulders. She leaned against the other and wrapped her arms around the day dreamer in a tight, loving hug, which was returned from Dandy. They were interrupted by the Man in the Moon who came to approach them, his foot slowly tapping which showed his annoyance. Valeria knew they were in trouble for him to take a form and come before them… let alone bringing them to him home.

"Sister dear, I do feel we are in trouble!"

In trouble was the right words indeed at the firm scowl upon his face as he turned, his back facing them as he walked into his meeting hall, knowing the two would follow after him. Once in the room, he turned to take his high council chair and looked at the both of them silently for a few moments. He noticed how Delilah had moved to stand mostly behind Valeria, allowing her very shy, timid side to come through and knowing Valeria would protect her if the need be… from the scary looking Man in the Moon.

"I have been trying to contact the both of you for over a day! What do you have to say for yourselves? Here the world is in great peril and you ignore my summons! Honestly you two should be ashamed of yourselves!"

"Heyyy, Moony that's not very nice! Do you know how many children and adults needed me while you kept interrupting? Hundreds! Each one is important and I chose them to come first, and speaking of you loony moon, you interrupted my last race winnings… that little girl had such promise to!" Valeria went off and huffed, looking rather defiantly towards the Man in the Moon.

"Also, you know my sister tends to her own as well… we work very hard you know… so a bit of patience goes a long way!"

The Man in the Moon felt his eyebrow twitching at Valeria's common names she called him, since she had told him once before that 'Man in the Moon' was simply too long to say all the time. He only allowed it because he had a very soft spot for both young ladies before him. They had come to be guardians by sacrificing their lives in a manner the other guardians had not. Yes all the guardians were chose once they passed from the living world, but these two before him were very unique cases. They did not only watch over the children of the world, but the adults, which had a heavy weight on their shoulders. He let Valeria rant and rave, her arms flying through the air as her foot also stomped upon the ground before she finally stopped her talking due to Delilah placing her hand upon her shoulder.

"Now then, I have brought you both here because my fellow Guardians need your help. I know you both know Ayama. She has broken from her prison and has joined with the darkness of the Boogeyman. They have already started their show to let me know they are out for death and destruction. With her power alone, the other Guardians do not stand a chance, so they need your special talents to help push them towards victory. Now then, no buts about it, I will be sending you there post haste to introduce yourselves."

Valeria had opened her mouth in preparation to say something, when she felt her body being sent through the portal. Delilah was holding onto her as their bodies twirled and spun before landing rather ungracefully upon the floor in the Northern lands. As they landed, they were aware of several pairs of eyes upon them in pure curiosity. Valeria let loose a string of words in a very odd language before she jumped up and pumped her fist towards the Moon. Delilah had zipped too fast for the other's to witness as she took up refuge behind the Sandman, her bright eyes all that could be seen through Sandy's hair.

"That's it Moony…. I'm gonna get you for this…. Daft old man…."

She turned around and came face to face with Jack Frost. His pale, creamy white skin radiating the cool towards her body as his white hair fell within his face gently. He looked slightly curious and would feel a finger press against his nose and push him backwards a few feet as Valeria heaved a sigh, her hands resting upon her hips. She took in North, who looked more than a bit confused as his eyebrows were sticking straight up. Next there was the rabbit, Bunnymund, who's head was tilted to the side, ears standing up straight. After the furball, she glanced to the brightly colored Tooth fairy and nodded, finding her to be as beautiful as many proclaimed. Finally her eyes landed upon the small yellow sandman and she squealed in delight and rushed towards him, her arms easily picking him up as he was spun around in a few circles, which revealed Delilah who looked like she wished to become a field of flowers.

"SANDY! Come come, you look more tired than usual…. I know me and Dandy haven't kept you up…. Come come… let's see the smile!"

Sandy blinked a few times before he beamed a smile, a happy face forming above his head at Valeria's words. He was finally put down by the taller female, only to have Delilah grab onto him, peering around him as her chin rested on his shoulder. When the others glanced at her, they all came to a realization that the one hiding behind Sandy looked like him! While they stood dumbfounded before Sandy and the two strange females, North knew it would be up to him to get to the bottom of this. Stepping forward he waved his arms, indicating to the two females as he opened and closed his mouth a few times before he felt the best way to approach the situation.

"What's going on Sandy my friend?"

North was not prepared for the attack of symbols above Sandy's head. Sandy's arms moved as he spoke, his hands waving about in different ways as the patterns continued above his head. There was a symbol of a tiny dandelion being held by Sandy, and a large horse with a girl upon it, and happy faces, sad faces, rain clouds, flowers, birds, and dancing? North tried his hardest to keep up and he was left feeling like he knew less than when he had previously asked. His confusion was joined by the others, who looked just as lost as he did. Seeing how lost and uncertain they all looked, Valeria turned and placed her hand atop Sandy's head, making him pause as a question mark shone brightly over his head.

"Perhaps I should explain just a bit. Uh… my name is Valeria and the one hiding behind Sandy is Delilah, though she goes by Dandy… and obviously she is shy, so be nice or else! Sandy is her father… and he adopted me as a daughter… so there we have it. He was just telling you that we are his children, which was why he was so against us being sent here to help… but alas after holding council with the Man in the Moon…. Though I call him Moony, he sent us here so ta da!" She beamed a bright smile.

"Uh… who are you?" Jack asked.

"I am Valeria, the keeper of the fighting spirit… to never give up no matter how bleak the situation is. Delilah is the Day Dreamer and the keeper of imagination. She is there for people to always be creative, to never reach any limits. Moony sent us here because we protect both children and adults, and since Ayama has broken free, her Night Terrors can attack both, so we are here to help counter her…. Now I hear you have some awesome hot chocolate North… I would like a large glass."

It was after that, that North erupted into laughter as he had a yeti make Valeria a glass of his finest hot chocolate. After just a sip, she had agreed it had been the best she had even tasted. She let her eyes take in the guardians, watching them interact as they began to speak of what all had happened thus far in the movements with Pitch and Ayama. Her eyes paused upon the rabbit, who was trying to inch closer to Dandy and see just what she was about, but she was sticking close to Sandy. Sandy also noticed Bunnymund getting closer and sent quite the scary look which made all the fur on Bunnymund stand up straight. He then found it in his best interest to go bug Jack Frost and have one of their name calling games. Jack Frost…. He intrigued Valeria very much. He reminded her of someone she once knew such a long time ago. He reminded her of a dear friend she had once had, but he had passed away after becoming very sick. She felt they had quite the force to reckon with and knew Ayama and Pitch would be in for a hard time when it came to eliminating them all. Before too much time passed, they all sat around a table and began to discuss a plan.. how to protect and watch other the children and now the adults, wondering just how far Ayama would go to get what she wanted. It was going to be a very long night indeed!
