Hey, I have only read until book #20, and am already a fan. I'm not sure if they described Mallory's ordeal in the dentist's office when she got braces, but I'm sure it wasn't very detailed. I getting braces this Friday (30th May, in S'pore), so I thought it might be fun to describe my ordeal, in my POV, yet using a BSC member's name.Poor Mallory.;)

"The extractions will need to be done next week, and the week after that also, Mallory. I'll have to pull out two teeth at a time. Can I see you next Tuesday at four?" asked the dentist.

" Uh, no. I've got to sit for Jamie on that day. I mean, I have to sit for someone on that day." I replied, unsure of myself.

"I see, what about on Wednesday, four, and the following week on Thursday, same time?" asked Dr Rivera, my dentist, with a smile.

" That's fine." I replied. Wednesday was only three days from today!!! " What about the braces?"

" Monday, four?" She asked

" Okay."

Oh, lord. Why was a born with such crooked, misaligned teeth? Now I have to wear braces. Darn.

" So how was it, Mal?" asked my 10 year-old brother, Byron.

"Yeah, when're you going to become metal mouth, Mal?" chimed in Adam and Jordan, my triplet brothers (Jordan, Adam and Byron), always teasing me about braces.

" Wait 'til it's your turn." I retorted.
