Toothiana and Valentina were sitting inside of Tooth's room and on her bed. Tooth was telling Valentina all the details about Jack Frost helping the guardians defeat Pitch Black and becoming a new member of the guardians. Valentina was shocked about what Pitch had done to the guardians, especially Sandman, and it was all just to get attention, to get noticed, to be believed in.
"I'd never thought that Pitch would do that, I mean sure he's the 'King of Nightmares' but I didn't think that he would harm you guys just to get attention, especially from the children,"
"Yes I know, but I guess not being believed in can do that to a person. I guess you can say that I kind of feel a little sorry for him,"
"but Tooth, he kidnapped the fairies, didn't you get any revenge?" Tooth gave a sly smile to Valentina when she asked that question and as time flew by Valentina went wide-eyed, "don't tell me..."
Tooth nodded her head, "Yep. And besides, I think I was doing him a favor, I mean it was a loose tooth after all."
When Valentina heard this she started jumping around on the bed and kept asking questions like 'Did he cry?' or 'Was he in pain?' or even 'Did he start rolling on the ground crying while he held his mouth shut so blood wouldn't come out?' and Tooth answered all her questions with just a few words, 'No' 'I think so' and 'Definitely not'. Valentina became disappointed at the fact that Pitch didn't cry, heaven knows why but that girl has always been obsessed with the bad person crying. Valentina decided to ask one last question and the answer she got from Tooth was something she didn't expect. "What happened to Pitch and where is he now?"
"He was taken by his own nightmares because of his fear, and now, we don't really know where he is exactly. Hey, I got something to show you," Tooth hopped off of the bed, and instead of heading to her closet, she goes underneath her bed and starts searching for something that is unknown by Valentina.
When Tooth comes back from under the bed, Valentina notices that she's holding a small brown box with a flower carved into every side of it. As Tooth brings the box closer and places it on the bed in the middle of them both, Valentina realizes what it really is. It was the box her and Tooth made when she was only 50 years old, only a little girl. As Valentina brushed her finger tips against the rough wood, she started to see flashbacks of her past. Her mother and father being happy together, Valentina and her brother throwing flower petals over their parents heads while they were on the trees. Laughing together as a family, but then the flashback suddenly ended, and another one came to life.
Valentina, it was her 50th birthday and her parents let her go out side on her own and told her to stay on the path they made for her, but when she got a good distance from the castle out of eye shot she went off and made her own path. She was walking along the cliffs by the sea, giggling her little heart out, until a huge gust of wind blew her over the edge of the cliff. Luckily there was another cliff below the one she was on before. She could feel the cliff starting to give way, and not being able to fly at that age, all she could do was clutch the muddy wall and cry for help.
After a while, Valentina started to lose hope that she would be saved, and was about to give up until an unfamiliar voice called out to her from above. "Hey, little girl, are you ok? You're not hurt are you?"
Valentina mustered up all the courage she had left in her and looked up at the unknown voice. The keeper of that voice was very pretty in the young girls eyes. She had very long, dark brown hair that seemed to have different series of colors in it, ,and her face was heart-shaped. But the thing that fascinated the little Valentina the most was her violet colored eyes that seemed to make her want to believe she would make it out of this alive. The keeper of the voice stretched her arm over the edge of the cliff and tried reaching for Valentina, but she wasn't able to actually touch the little girl since she was still a few meters away.
"Give me you're hand little one!" when the mysterious voice told Valentina to give her hand, Valentina got scarred again and buried her face into the cliff. "I can't, I'm too scared,"
Valentina could feel the ground give way, and the mysterious voice noticed that, and she knew that if she didn't do something to save her then it will be too late.
"It's alright to be scared, but if you don't give me you're hand now or you'll fall, and I don't want that so please, please give me your hand!"
After Valentina heard the mysterious voice beg, she looked up and extended her arm towards her. Valentina tried so hard to reach for the voices hand but she just couldn't reach. "Come on, just a little further!"
"But I can't!"
"Yes you can!" as the voice was still frantically reaching for little Valentina, she could see the ground beneath the little girl crumbling. She started to panic, and so did Valentina.
"JUMP, JUMP UP NOW!" called out the voice, but before Valentina could jump, the ground beneath her crumbled to the ground, taking Valentina with it.
Valentina's eyes were shut tight, and to her the world just seemed to stop, even if she felt warmth. She couldn't tell if she was dead or not, so instead of keeping it in she spoke the question aloud. "Am I dead?"
She could hear laughter, and couldn't tell if it was her own or someone else's until she heard that unfamiliar voice again.
"Afraid not little one, but I'm glad you're not dead."
Opening her eyes, Valentina found two arms around her tiny waist and saw the cliff behind her and the body underneath her. The body underneath seemed to be moving, bring Valentina with it. When she looked to see the face of her savior, it was the keeper of the voice. The keeper smiled down at Valentina. "My name is Toothiana, but people call me Tooth. What's yours?"
"Valentina, but mainly Vally. You have a weird nickname Tooth,"
"haha, yeah well, you sorta get used to it. It's nice to meet you Vally." Tooth smiled while saying it. Valentina, after seeing Tooth's bright smile, she smiled her self. "And to you to."
The flashback ended.
