S02E158 The Children, Part 5: Charlie Saves the Day

Guy Hasson
Age: 7.5, Told by Grampa Walt

Charlie looks around helplessly as one of the dark creatures attempts to grab Joy.

Joy leaps out of the way, but it was close.

Joy’s weapon needs to recharge. Justin, whose dreams these are, is an obsessed dreamer and can’t snap out of it. And Master Mind’s weapons aren’t working on them.

Charlie raises his hand as if about to conjure something as a dreamer. But he doesn’t. His mind is clearly a blank.

Master Mind leaps at one of the creatures now flying above the ship, who is trying to grab Joy. He grabs the bottom of its taloned leg and is now rising into the air with the creature.

S02E142 The Power of the Dreamer, Part 4, Old Charlie, Old Joy

Guy Hasson
Age: 8.5, Told by Grampa Walt

Joy makes an unhappy face. “I wish I could be a grownup. People would stop treating me like a kid!”

Charlie looks at her with shock. “Who treats you like a kid?”

“Everyone treats me like a kid! Everyone!”

Charlie shakes his head almost violently. “Joy. No one treats you like a kid. Your dad lets you go on adventures! He lets you drive Bonnie’s Revenge. You can go into strange places. You do super dangerous things and no one tells you anything. You don’t have to go to school. You don’t have to do homework. You don’t have to do almost anything that kids have to do. Everyone treats you like an adult!”

S02E141 The Power of the Dreamer, Part 3, Charlie’s Growth Spurt

Guy Hasson
Age: 8.5, Told by Grampa Walt

“Ooh, you know what!” Charlie, now bearded and moustached, tells Joy amidst the two of them laughing.

“What, what?”

“I think… I think…” he concentrates and his beard and moustache disappear. He finally looks like a kid again. That was too strange to look at.

“What if I can be a grownup?”

“A grownup?!”

“Old. Like your dad or something.”

“Ooh! Do it!”

S02E140 The Power of the Dreamer, Part 2, Charlie Goes Crazy

Guy Hasson
Age: 8.5, Told by Grampa Walt

“I-know-I-know-I-know!” Charlie tells Joy.

They’ve just finished inventing various scrapes and gashes that Charlie makes appear on his body. He makes them appear, they laugh, it doesn’t hurt, and he makes them go away.

“What-what-what!” Joy is speaking at twice her normal speed.

“I’ll make myself bald!”

Joy opens her mouth in shock. “Can you do that?”

“I don’t know. Let’s try!”

S02E139 The Power of the Dreamer, Part 1: Blood!

Guy Hasson
Age: 8.5, Told by Grampa Walt

Charlie and Joy are sitting on the deck of Bonny’s Revenge, legs hanging out.

All five dreamers have gone to do various things, leaving Joy and Charlie under Master Mind’s care.

We are flying among the clouds and the dream is serene for a change.

“Does it hurt?” Charlie points to a scrape that Joy has on her knee from yesterday’s adventure.

“Not too much,” she says.
