The Beach, Saturday afternoon

[blessed_twice]

Playing babysitter for the wee incarnation of his girlfriend hadn't been on Wyatt's agenda for the weekend, but he would do his best to deal and just hope that once the weekend was over, Fandom would restore her to normal. If not, he'd have to send her out to San Francisco to live with his five-year-old self or something.

He held Isabel's hand as he orbed them to the beach. "There you go," he said. "Where do you want to make your castle?"

"A real one?" Isabel asked, her eyes wide. "Or just a pretend one?"

[neurotic-witch.livejournal.com]

"Welllllllllll," Chris hedged. "I could prolly make a real one, but I bet I'd get in trouble."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Maybe if you make a small one?" Isabel was very intrigued by the idea of a real dragon.

"I'd have to write a spell," Chris said.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I could help," she offered. "I know how to read now."

[neurotic-witch.livejournal.com]

Chris looked excited. "Okay. You got any paper?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel patted her pockets. "I don't have any paper. But maybe we can write it in the sand."

"Good idea!" Chris said. "What rhymes with dragon?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Wagon!" she called out.

[neurotic-witch.livejournal.com]

Chris nodded. "That's a good one." She clearly was not a Halliwell.

He bit his lip and concentrated on writing a spell in the sand.

"Okay, now I gotta make the dragon," he said.

"Can I help?" Isabel asked. The castle was forgotten.

[neurotic-witch.livejournal.com]

"Sure!" Chris said, making a big pile of sand.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"What do I need to do? I've never written a spell before," she told him.

[neurotic-witch.livejournal.com]

"I'll tell you the words," Chris said, concentrating on his dragon. The wings weren't quite proportional.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Okay," Isabel said, digging her finger into the sand. "What do I need to write?"

[neurotic-witch.livejournal.com]

Chris patiently told her the words while he built his dragon sculpture.

She had to ask him to repeat them once or twice as she carefully wrote them down. Hopefully one or two misspellings wouldn't ruin the spell.

"There," Isabel said finally. "All done."

[neurotic-witch.livejournal.com]

"How's the dragon look?" Chris asked. "If it looks good, I'll say the spell."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"It's an awesome dragon," she smiled. "He looks very fierce."

[neurotic-witch.livejournal.com]

"Okay, now I'll say the spell," Chris said.

He stood up and held his hands over the dragon as he recited:

"Turn this sand into a dragon
Or I'll hit you with my wagon!"

It wasn't exactly a great spell, but give the kid a break, he's only six.

Isabel was watching the dragon intently and jumped when it started to move. "It's moving!"

[neurotic-witch.livejournal.com]

"UH HUH."

Chris was a little surprised by that and his eyes got very wide as the sand creature lifted off the beach and started flying around.

"COOL!"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel ducked her head to hide from the dragon.

Wyatt turned around from his conversation with Summer and caught sight of the sand dragon. "Chris, what did you do?" he exclaimed.

[neurotic-witch.livejournal.com]

"I made Izzy a dragon!" Chris said, looking rather proud of himself.
