"Too slick for you?"
"I can get it, just...give me a moment..."

***Cyrus enters***
Thinking he'd seen Heidi, he hurried back to the beach. When he'd confirmed it was her, he started to walk over to her. "Hey." he smiled. "Building a sandcastle, huh?"

"In order to get a fish you maybe should behave like one!" Sarah stated smirking.

"Behave like you? Splash in the water, eat plankton or whatever?"

Sarah laughed. "Oh, you don't know how much I would like to see that!" she teased.

"You would? That's...well, that's a little disturbing." he replied, smiling, and then he caught a glimpse of a fish in the corner of his eye. He grabbed for it.

Sarah had to jump a little aside so that Billy could get a grip on that other fish. Well, she was a little to quick. She started loosing her balance. "Wow." she muttered as she began to fall over.

HEIDI
I jumped, startled when I heard his voice behind me. I was still distracted thinking about what I had seen and I assumed that Brittany and little Sarah hadn't noticed it as they hadn't said anything. Pushing my hair back over my shoulder, I turned and looked up at him briefly, giving a smile, then looked back to what I was doing as I answered, hoping that by keeping busy, I wouldn't give off any feelings of discomfort toward him. "Sure are," I said in a cheerful voice.

He reached out, and grabbed Sarah, bringing her forward again. "Are you alright?"

Sarah was holding onto Billy but both there movements had been to quick so they both fell over. Water was gushing up and it suddenly went cold and wet around them. The water was just about kneedeep so they both could at least sit.

LITTLE SARAH
Sarah looked up and Gave a Half smile, she was getting more help than she knew what to do with. Standing up she walked over to him and smiled. "Well if your going to hang around you might as well work." she smiled. "Start Building." she smiled and headed back to her spot before getting back to work.

"Sure are,"
"Good to hear, Angel Undercover." he smiled.
"Well if your going to hang around you might as well work." she smiled. "Start Building."
He laughed. "Yes, little madam." he said, beginning to help as he crouched down.

I worked silently for a while, keeping my eyes on what I was doing and avoiding looking at Cyrus. "So," I finally looked up at little Sarah, "what are the dimensions of this sandcastle of yours going to be?"

"So," I finally looked up at little Sarah, "what are the dimensions of this sandcastle of yours going to be?"
"You OK?" he asked, a little quietly, seeing that she seemed...skittish. Worried.

Little Sarah
"So," I finally looked up at little Sarah, "what are the dimensions of this sandcastle of yours going to be?" Sarah smiled, and stopped wiping her hand on her pants. "Well i want a semi thick wall, I don't want anything to Fancy. just something i can sit in during the day so i don't have to spend it in my shelter. The door has to be big enough for me and someone else to get through. and it has to have four walls and a Ceiling, I’m not going to finish it today that's for sure..."

HEIDI
I gave a small start when I heard Cyrus address me. "What? Yes... no, I'm fine," I said, managing a smile. Thankfully, little Sarah's answer to my question distracted me enough to keep me from doing any telling fidgeting that may have given away all too clearly that everything wasn't exactly 'ok'.
I raised my eyebrows. "You're serious," I said in an astonished voice. I sat back and studied her for a moment. "You're going to make the whole thing, life size, complete with sand roof and you're going to step under that?" My expression turned worried. "Are you sure a sand roof can be made steady enough that it won't collapse?" My experience with sandcastles was very limited. It usually consisted of packing a bucket full of sand, turning it upside down, carefully removing the bucket, then sticking a flag on top. Even that would fall apart quite easily. I'd seen pictures of sandcastle competitions where people made very impressive things, but an actual castle... I had a terrible image of the roof caving in and Little Sarah being buried alive.

He became increasingly worried as Sarah described her dream sandcastle. "Uh, honey...that might not work." he said, trying to convince her. He looked over at Heidi. For a moment, he was worried he was looking too long, and quickly looked back at Sarah.
"You know I knew this kid once. He dug a big hole in the sand, and hid there. His momma spent the whole day lookin' around for him, worried beyond worry. Eventually, she found him, she was not pleased. She said to him, 'now boy, if you stayed in there, that woulda collapsed and you woulda been lost forever.' and damn, if that kid weren't scared of that happenin'. So...not sure this would be the safest option."
Cyrus remembered that kid. The one he used to know. He one he used to be. "His momma was pretty darn angry." he said, and then added, in a tone that was more inward, and sadder, "His daddy weren't none too happy either."

All little Sarah could do was raise her eye brow, picking up mr. Floppers she walked right over to that man knelt down next to him and smiled sweetly. “I might be a child, but I know when an adult is trying to strike fear. Don’t Patronize me, I’m little but I am smart.” Sarah smiled and turned to Heidi and smiled. “Honestly the nerve of some people…”
“O and if you don’t want that to fall on my little head, pack the sand harder.” She smiled and gave Heidi a hug. She leaned in close to her ear and whispered. “He’s conniving but he’s cute,” and than headed back to her side of the castle.

At first, I thought Cyrus was making up the story, but the way he told it, I could see that it had an affect on him. I felt bad for whoever that kid was. It sounded as if being chastised for hiding was the least of that boy's worries. Uh oh, I thought when little Sarah rose to her feet and made her way over to Cyrus. I actually took pity on him. She was definitely no match in the strength department, but her knowledge and foresight were a match or more to any adult. I listened, ready to cringe or step in if necessary.
“I might be a child, but I know when an adult is trying to strike fear. Don’t Patronize me, I’m little but I am smart.” Sarah smiled and turned to Heidi and smiled. “Honestly the nerve of some people…”
I put a hand over my mouth, trying to stifle the laughter. The nerve of this little pint sized person. I admired her bravery. I'd never have had the guts to do something like when I was her age. Hell, even now, I was still the type to just grin and bear things.
“O and if you don’t want that to fall on my little head, pack the sand harder.” She smiled and gave Heidi a hug. She leaned in close to her ear and whispered. “He’s conniving but he’s cute,” and than headed back to her side of the castle.
I gasped at her last statement and felt myself blush a bit, very thankful she said that only for my ears. "Sarah!" I said with a slight laugh in my voice. I didn't expect such a bold statement, not to mention her first smart-aleck response to me. "Come here, you little brat," I quickly launched up after her and caught her, then started to tickle her. "Haven't you ever learned that you're supposed to respect your elders?" I joked while I laughed along with her.

He stared dumbly as Sarah gave him a lashing, and then hugged Heidi. Then he laughed. "Well, you ain't a little kid. Sorry 'bout that. Just thought it'd be good advice."
He looked over at Heidi, and grinned.
