My name is Sandy. Just Sandy. I don't have a last name, but I am known by another name. I'm known as The Sandman.

I'm short. The shortest of the Guardians. (Tooth Fairy, Santa, Easter Bunny, Jack Frost, and me of course.) And I hardly have any legs. Most of my body is taken up by the upper half. I'm plump, and wear a twisting robe thing that's made out of sand. I also have short stubby arms, and I kind of have a widow's peak. My hair is wild, sticking out in any direction. It's also golden. I have really, really long lips, and a sort of rabbit like nose. And my eyes are golden.

And this story starts was when I was giving dreams to the children of the world. I was sending my dream sand to everyone when I saw a child. Only six years old staring out a window. He wasn't looking at me, he was looking at the moon. I made my sand cloud go over to the child. I stood right in front of him, and waved. He didn't see me, so I reached out to touch him. My hand went straight through. I yanked it back, and look at it, and then back to the child. Six was way too young to stop believing. The child sighed, and turned from the window. He went over to his bed, and crawled under the covers. I went into the child's room. Drawings littered the walls. Especially ones of birds.

I walked over to the boy. I could hear soft whimpers, and sniffs. I smiled sadly at the blankets. And then sprinkled dream sand over him. The sniffs, and whimpers stopped, and I gently removed the blanket to see the child. Then I gathered up some dream sand in my hand, and then placed my hand on the boy's head. I was instantly in his dreams.

A kind looking man was holding the child in his arms. The boy laughed was so much joy, I smiled. Then the woman came in, and…

"NO!" Suddenly the scene changed. The boy was kneeling on the floor tears running down his face. Strange, no child I've known can do this. "No." he said quieter. Then all the sudden he froze, and looked at me with a perplexed look. "Who are you?" he asked. I grinned, and then got my dream sand to turn into a bird, and fly around him. The boy smiled for a moment, before he stopped. "No!" he cried slashing through the bird. I raised an eyebrow. The boy looked at me. "You're the sand man." He whispered. I nodded. "Are you… real?" Another nod. Then I made a golden bird appear over my head, and then burst.

"I can't be happy." The boy answered. "Someone will take it away." I glided towards the boy and landed straight in front of him. The child looked so torn down. So lost. So… afraid. How… my eyes lit up. I made another sand bird appear, the boy looked at it sadly. But then I made it morph. Morph into him. He stared at it for a second before looking back at me. A perplexed look on his face. I turned the sand boy into a bird again, and the bird flew around the boy's head.

Then I pointed at him and a question mark appeared over my head.

"Tobias" the boy said. "My name is Tobias…" he smiled. "Sandy." I grinned, and held out my hand for Tobias to shake. Tobias reached over, and barely touched my hand when… "Oh!" An exclamation point appeared over my head. From that one touch a sort of tingle came from my hand, and spread all over my body. We looked at each other. "It didn't hurt." Tobias managed to say. I nodded. And then…

I was near Tobias' bed, and he was under the covers. He yanked the covers off, and stared at me. Then smiled.

"It wasn't a dream." I nodded, and then reached out to touch him. Wondering if the same thing would happen. It didn't. "Sandy?" Tobias asked looking up at me with innocent six year old eyes. A sand question mark. Tobias smiled. "Will you come back?" I nodded, and then made a moon appear over my head. Gone. Moon. Gone. Tobias smiled brightly. "Every night?" I nodded.

Aww six year old Tobias is so cute! Sadly the next chapter won't be as cute. :{( STUPID PITCH! Also yes the chapter names are Simple Plan songs, but I'm just picking song names that make sense. Nothing to do with the lyrics.
