"Jack! Wake up, wake up, wake up!" His sister jumped onto Jack, shaking him.
Jack pulled his pillow over his head, moaning.
"No, I am sleeping..."
She got up and pulled the blanket off him
"But it is an emergency."
Jack rolled over in his bed to look at his sister.
"Keep it down, if Father heard us awake right now-"
Jack rolled over in his bed to look at his sister. "Keep it down! If Father heard us awake right now-"
"Look! I lost my tooth! See?" She held out a hand, and sitting in the middle of her palm was a tiny, white tooth.
"Wow, you know what that means?" He said, raising his eyebrows.
"The Tooth Fairy!" She yelled with excitement.
Jack covered her mouth.
"Oops, I mean, The Tooth Fairy!" She whispered quietly.
"Come on." He said climbing out of bed.
Mary jumped back into her own bed. Jack yawned as he pulled the blankets up over his sister.
"Okay, give me the tooth." Jack asked and Mary handed to him.
He placed it behind her pillow for her and sat down on her bed.
"Jack... What if she doesn't come this time?" Mary whispered.
"Of course she will! She always has, has she not? I told you before, she will only come when you are sleeping." Jack whispered.
Mary closed one eye and began snoring.
"That doesn't count as sleeping." Jack smiled.
She starting giggling.
Jack held his finger to his mouth and she stopped.
"Now, you need to sleep for real. And so do I." He yawned again.
She hugged her brother,
"I love you, Jack."
Jack was surprised. He wouldn't normally hear that from her.
"I love you, too." He answered back with a hug.
"Now go to sleep."
She sunk into her bed closing her eyes.
Jack flopped back into his own bed and closed his eyes.
Most of the teenagers stopped believing in things like Santa Clause, The Tooth Fairy, The Easter Bunny and The Sandman, a long time ago.
Jack thought the whole idea of them was silly, but something inside him still believed.
