S02E005 The Morning After, Part 5: Joy’s Ship

Guy Hasson
Age: 6, Told by Grampa Walt

“I’m sooooo glad you stayed!” Joy is at full energy having just woken up. She raises her hands and looks at them. “This is awesome! Ooh, did you see my toys?!” Joy points excitedly at her...um… fighter spaceship toys, legos that build a cloud, then more war toys. “I got them as a gift from a lava monster after I defeated ninja pirates!”

I nod, not knowing what to say. Next to me, I see Suzy is doing the same. Although she no doubt does know what to say and is trying very hard not to say it.

S02E004 The Morning After, Part 4: The Granddaughter

Guy Hasson
Age: 6, Told by Grampa Walt

We both peek in.

Suzy gasps. I want to, too, but I hold it in.

Joy is lying in her small cot in her room.

“She’s soooo beautiful!” Suzy says, keeping her voice low.

“Look at her, even when she sleeps, she looks like a fighter.” I keep my voice own low. ”See that chin. That’s a kid that’s seen hardship.”

Suzy nudges me. “She’s beautiful. Can’t you say she’s beautiful?” she whispers at me.

#362: Heroes Never Cry, Part 1

Guy Hasson
Age: 3, Told by The Red Dragon

Dragon Little was standing beside Dragon Father as he helmed the wheel.

“When I grow up,” she told him casually, “I want to be just like you.”

“Oh, yeah? In what way?”

“I’m never going to cry!” She had cried quite a bit when her Dollies had been taken from her and then she had been devastated when they fell into the volcano.

Dragon Father stopped looking ahead and looked down at her, suddenly serious. “You’re never going to cry?”

#359: The Pirate Ninjas Raid, Part 6: The Gift

Guy Hasson
Age: 3, Told by The Red Dragon

“What’s going on? Don’t we have normal toys for a little girl? Oh, here’s something,” he pulled out a big fuzzy bear. “A teddy bear!”

Dragon Little was trying to hold all of her new toys in both hands, and things kept falling out. She looked at the teddy bear and said, “Pfah!” in disgust.

“It’s cute!”

“It’s not cute! It’s pfah!”

Dragon Father stood up. “Well, it’s the last of the toys. We’re taking everything and we’re taking the teddy bear, too!”

“I’ll just throw it overboard!”

#358: The Pirate Ninjas Raid, Part 5: Reunion

Guy Hasson
Age: 3, Told by The Red Dragon

“Go into the ship of the Pirate Ninjas,” the lava creature said. “The Dollies say that the pirates have stolen many toys from many children, hoping they could sacrifice them to me. All the toys that are on the ship are now yours.”

“Really?!” Dragon Little’s eyes opened in excitement.

”Go,” the lava creature said, and slowly descended back into the lava, disappearing into it.

#357: The Pirate Ninjas Raid, Part 4: Wild Joy

Guy Hasson
Age: 3, Told by The Red Dragon

Dragon Little, hands bound behind her back, leapt at the pirate ninja closest to her and bit his hand.

She was mad and angry and venomous and the fact they had stolen her only toys, which she called the Dollies, and now they had fallen down the volcano and were destroyed.

The bitten ninja shouted in pain.

Dragon used the fact that he was off balance to slam her head into his stomach and run forward, causing him to lose balance and fall into the volcano.

#356: The Pirate Ninjas Raid, Part 3: Crushing the Bad Guys

Guy Hasson
Age: 3, Told by The Red Dragon

“I’m going to crush you!” Dragon Little whispered at the ninja leading her down the ramp.

She had taken it quite personally that they had stolen the only toys she had, which she called the Dollies.

They were led to the edge of the ‘mouth’. “I’m going to crush all of you!” she raised her voice.

The Pirate Ninjas ignored her and began to bring down her Dollies from the ship as if they were a revered ancient relic.

“Those are my Dollies! You can’t have them! They’re mine! I’m going to destroy you!” she shouted at them.

#355: The Pirate Ninjas Raid, Part 2: Feeling Bad

Guy Hasson
Age: 3, Told by The Red Dragon

Dragon Little was crying the entire time.

When she could speak, she said, “They took my Dollies, Dad! They took my Dollies!”

These were the handful of small dolls that were Dragon Little’s only playthings in her cabin since the time I had met her.

“I know. We’ll get them back,” Dragon Father said.

“I want you to kill them!” she said. “I want you to kill them and get my Dollies.”

#354: The Pirate Ninjas Raid

Guy Hasson
Age: 3, Told by The Red Dragon

One day, there was an unexpected raid.

Dragon Father had just appeared and walked into Dragon Little’s cabin to wake her up.

But before he could, ninja pirates climbed aboard Bonny’s Revenge from all sides. Four of them ran into the cabin and immediately came out with Dragon Father whose mouth was gagged and his feet and hands tied.
