All in Age: 3.5
Dragon Little and Dragon Father were seated around a fire. Beside them, handcuffed, was The Vulture Man, a villain they had captured after a particularly hard adventure.
They had eaten marshmallows on sticks above a fire, something Dragon Little had insisted on ever since Dragon Father had mentioned it. This time, he had relented. The Vulture Man had waited patiently while they enjoyed themselves.

It was only an hour after her father had disappeared. As always, when he vanished, most of the world went with him.
Most of the stars blinked out. The winds stopped. The cities in the clouds disappeared. The villains they had fought had all vanished with him. Only a few things remained: The ocean, Bonny’s Revenge, the moon, Mars, the two suns, and a few other stars and planets. And, of course, Dragon Little, who was only a 3 and a half year old girl at the time.

“Look at me! Look at me!” Dragon Father sounded panicky. “Did you get hit in the head? Joy, talk to me! Yes or no?”
Dragon Little shook her head.
“Get up. Let me see you walk.”

“Joy!” He ran back as the ship soared higher above him. “Get back here! DO NOT TAKE THE SHIP!”

Dragon Father was furious over the mess on Bonny’s Revenge’s deck. While he was gone for hours (in his waking world), Bonny’s Revenge had been parked near the beach of an island. Dragon Little, now three and a half years old, had transported beach sand to the deck and played with it. A lot of beach sand.
“You just turned the deck into a beach! That’s what you did!”
Dragon Little shrugged.
“Shh!” the captain said immediately. “Don’t wake her! She’s a lot of trouble when she’s awake!”
Dragon Little stirred at the noise.

“Nah, nah, nah. You tried to poke my eyes out. You’re the cheater! I’m the mightiest of them all!” He held both arms to his sides and bent then, as if he was showing his muscles. Which he didn’t really have. Not in the dream, at least. I do not know what he looked like back on Earth.
“I’m the mightiest of them all!”

He took a deep breath. They stared at each others’ eyes. “Now!” He said.
They stared at each at each other for a few seconds. Then, “You blinked!” he pointed at her. “I win!”
“No fair! No fair!” She was angry. “I wasn’t ready. Again!”

Dragon Little looked at him, with eyes wide in fascination. “You called me Joy.”
“Yes. I decided on your name.” He sat down next to her, his back leaning on the railing. “When you were just born… Just this tiny, itsy-bitsy baby that just cried her first cry, that just took her first few breaths…”
Dragon Father continued, and: “Grrrrrrrrchhhhh!”
“Grreeeeeech?!”He tried to copy the high squeak but could not get close.
“Grrrrrrrrchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!” she bent back in pleasure.
“Grrrrrrooooooch?”
“Grrrrrrrrchhhhh!” She grunted/squeaked.
