"Mmm. I'm not used to tell story of little girls with loving and caring uncles, but I can try!"He said.

She giggled. "Well he is loving and caring but as we all know he can be very very grumpy and strict." she teased

"You littlle impudent girl!"Play-scolded Max, hands on his hip, and looking positivly grumpy.

She giggled. "You see Mr. Dickens?" she hugged her uncle. "But I love my uncle."

"I love you too, little earthquake!"He said picking her up for an hug.

"So? Any idea for a story sir?" she asked and looked at Dickens

"Well, let see!"He said "Once upon a time, there were a earl, who had a little niece!"He started.

"Sounds like us uncle." she giggled and continued to listen.

"The niece was a little earthquake who everyday get herself in trouble!" He continued. "Yes" Said Max smiling, "He is speaking about us!"

Sandy giggled and nodded. "And so she had lots and lots of...adventures..that ended..."

"In her uncle taking her across his knee for a good panking!"Dickens said smirking.

"Ohhoo! But she sure did nothing! Sandy's always good."

"And a winter day is always sunny!"Her uncle replyed smiling.

"Yes!" she said and giggled. She then listened again to Mr. Dickens

"Our Sandy one day have woke up with an idea in her mind!" Dickens said.

"I bet it was the bestest I had!" she said and listened smiling.

"I don't think so, because she wanted to try her uncle's new rifle!"He said.

"Oh dear. But I have to admit that it did cross my mind." She admitted

"Better for you it never does again!" Her uncle warned her.

"Hm..I see what the story tells me. There´s always a lesson to learn they say."

"Indeed, our Sandy was caught, and her uncle was not pleased!"Dickens said.

"Ugh...I bet that was not very good for her..and especially not her bottom."

"You guess right!" He stated "He spanked her until her bottom glowed!"

"Oh dear. I bet she couldn´t sit down for a whole month then.."she looked to her uncle. "Am I right?"

"Well, I suppose she could, using a pillow, to sit down after the first week!"He stated smiling.

She had to snicker. "Very lucky I'd say. And what do we learn? Try to do your mischief without your uncle knowing!"

"Mmm, try with, be good if you want to keep on sitting!" He stated, than reached to tickle her.

She laughed and giggled. "Aye. That suits it more. You might include that in your story Mr. Dickens." she said.
She then yawned and rubbed her eyes. She was getting tired.

"You can be my guest, tonight if you want!" Dickens said smiling.

"What do you think uncle?" she looked to him. He was the one deciding.

"I suppose it's fine, thank you!" He showed them a room with two separete bed.

"Thanks sir. Good night." Sandy said and laid down.

As Dickens was away she looked to her uncle. "Any idea where we could go next? You know what I would like to see? Pirates!" she said

"Mmmm, Tortuga, seventeenth Century, is a dangerous place; Should I foristancetake you there, I absolutly wantyouholding myhand all time!" He warned seriously.

"I promise uncle! I do!" She said and looked at him. She really wanted to go there.

"You better keep it, or we are returning home, after!" He threatened; He took from the box a pair of night clothes, for there. "Right now, we need to rest.

"Okay." she smiled and changed. She yawned and tugged herself in. "Good nighty uncle...love you very much." she said

"Love you too, honey! Sleeps tight!"He said smilinng andkissing her forehead.

She smiled happily and slept in quickly. This night of sleep did her good and so she got up full of energy.

(Poor uncle) They got up had breakfast and departed from Dickens, than finally Max put the stones in the right position, and shook the box; All faded.

(lol)

Sandy was exited and happy. It grew dark around them and as they woke up, Sandy could smell the sea and it was very hot. SHe had a simple shirt, a blue bandana, poofy pants and boots on. "Arrr! Wake up uncle."
