Hi everyone!
This is my first story :) but just a test-run. Please read, I know it's not anything new, but if you like the first chapter, than please comment on it, so I know if you'd like me to continue it! I already am kind of finished with the second chapter, so if you like it, stay tuned!
Everything was alive and brimming with activity at Tooth's palace. The little baby tooth fairies were bringing in more then a thousand teeth a minute, and Tooth was having trouble keeping track of them all. She had a clipboard in one hand and was checking off children's names quicker and with more enthusiasm then anyone else could have. After all, she loved her job more then almost anything in the whole world. She hardly ever took breaks, and even when she did, they were short. She wouldn't give up her job for the whitest, cleanest teeth in the world. Not even Jack Frost's teeth.
Well, MAYBE Jack's teeth.
Tooth shivered, and made a mental note to grab a coat of some sort of cloak when she next had a bit of free time. The temperature had been quickly dropping ever since noon, and it looked as if it were to about to snow outside. But Jack wasn't here. Thank god. Whenever he showed up, the baby fairies and Tooth had trouble focusing on work.
Not that Tooth liked him or anything. No. Nope. Never. They were both GUARDIANS, for gods sake, they both knew their duties were much more important. Sure, he was nice and funny, and great to be around, but duties were still more important then friendships. Or romances.
Tooth pushed Jack out of her mind. She still had a lot of work to do and-
A big gust of wind blew the front doors open, and the air had gotten a tad bit colder.
Speak of the devil Tooth thought grimly
"Hey Tooth," Jack glided in the front hall on a thin sheet of ice that formed around his feet and melted away behind him.
Immediately, all the mini fairies stopped everything they were doing and flew over to Jack to greet him. He was surrounded by mini fairies circling him and pulling at his clothes, trying to get his attention, swooning and dropping out of the air when he looked at them. Tooth could feel her face turn a shade pinker at the sight of him, but gave herself a mental slap and flew over to Jack.
"Is this a bad time?" he asked when Tooth approached him. Fairies were now tugging at his hair to get him to look at them. This had to stop, now.
"Fairies, get back to work!" she exclaimed loudly. They reluctantly left him, and continued their work.
Tooth turned back to Jack, and opened her her mouth to tell him to come back later, but her mouth said differently.
"It's fine, I was just about to take a break anyway. What do you need, Jack?"
She was surprised at herself. Wasn't she just telling herself that her duties as Tooth fairy were more important then Jack?
Jack grinned up at her "I wanted some advise on some stuff. I figured that you would be the best person to ask."
Tooth raised an eyebrow "What kind of advise?"
Jack turned a deep shade of blue. Tooth wondered if that was his way of blushing. If it was, it was very cute.
Jack looked back up at her "I mean, I kinda sorta maybe like this girl...and..." he stopped. "Y'know what, never mind, It's stupid, I'll just ask someone else..." he started to turn towards the door
Tooth shook her head "That's not stupid Jack." Interesting. Jack had a crush.
Jack sheepishly turned back "Well, I know this girl, and I haven't known her for very long, but I really, really like her. She's really pretty, and whenever I see her, It's like looking at a beautiful sunset or waterfall. We talk sometimes, but we don't see each other all that much. I want...I want to tell her how I feel about her, but I don't know how."
Tooth's heart sped up. Couldn't it be possible that she was the one he had a crush on her? What he said, it was very true they hadn't known each other for very long, and they hadn't talked much since Pitch was defeated. And he was coming to her, of all the other people in the world he could have asked, he came to her. Maybe because he thought the best way to find out what is crush liked was to ask the crush herself? It could be true.
"Tooth?" Jack waved his staff in front of her face. She realized she had paused for quite a while.
"Well most girls would like to get to know you a little better before they want to become your girlfriend." Tooth supplied
"You mean, like ask her out?"
"Well I wouldn't say, 'Hey, want to go out with me?'. Make it sound casual, like you're asking a friend if they want to hang out with you." she answered.
Jack studied Tooth for a moment, and then nodded "Thanks Tooth. Anything else?"
Tooth thought for a moment. What would she want from a boy?
"Compliments. And perhaps a small gift or two to help it along."
Jack grinned up at her, and she melted on the inside.
"Great. Thanks again Tooth." and turned around.
"Any time!" she replied, blushing a deep shade of red.
"Hey, are you gonna come over to North's place to prepare for the Christmas party next week?" he asked over his shoulder
Tooth bobbed her head "I wouldn't miss it for the world."
"Cool. See you next week!" He glided out the door the same way he came in. A few mini fairies stopped what they were doing to get a good look at him as he went out.
"Fairies, back to work!" she called to them again, and turned back to her clipboard.
As she looked down at the list of names, Tooth's mind couldn't help but think back to what Jack had said about his crush. It was very well possible that he had a crush on her. How many other girls did he know anyway?
Don't get your hopes up she thought to herself it's just as possible that he could like someone else. But her mind was already jumping to conclusions. Even though she would never admit it, she was hoping deep down that Jack would ask her out.
Nothing you haven't read before, right? But I promise, the next chapter will be better :)
