TOOTH

"Look how he flossed!" Tooth exclaimed while she was inspecting the first tooth of an Idaho boy. Miniature fairies were flying all about the gold, green, and purple Tooth Palace, taking directions to get the new teeth and deliver gifts. To one who didn't visit regularly, it seemed like chaos, but to Tooth and her fairies it was controlled. Controlled chaos.

The constant flapping of wings was only consumed when Tooth exclaimed in joy when a nice tooth appeared. That happened infrequently, and still made some of the fairies jump. With amazing speed, the Guardian of Memories quickly flew from fairy to fairy, telling them where to go. Happily, each one took their orders and flew off into the sky, the Moon shining over them.

After a while, Tooth flew upon Baby Tooth, who was usually the happiest worker. She loved her job, and was always excited to return with a good tooth. And she was very close to Jack Frost, who had added much joy to her already happy demeanor. But now when Tooth looked at her fairy, Jack's friend looked more depressed than ever.

"Baby Tooth, what's wrong?" Tooth looked at the fairy in confusion, it wasn't like her to be acting this way. Baby Tooth squeaked her reply, her face getting sadder and sadder. "What? J-Jamie's…" Tooth looked down at the ground, slowly folding her arms around herself self-consciously. Baby Tooth squeaked again, making Tooth look up. "And Jack's gone?" Baby Tooth nodded in reply. Tooth paused as the leader inside her took control, "Baby Tooth, take over! I'll be back as soon as I can."

Tooth's wings slowed down as she lowered herself over Jamie's grave. She held a little golden box in her hands with a smiling face on the side, Jamie's smiling face. The cold night air sent a shiver down Tooth's spine, but she wasn't ready to leave. She sighed, her body drooping with grief. "Jamie, I," she sighed again, "Baby Tooth told me about, about you. I, I wish I could've brought you these before you left us." She looked down at the box. "I hope you can enjoy these now."

The Tooth Fairy put her hand on the diamond-shaped design of the box. It opened, shimmering in the moonlight. Tooth watched as the glow increased and began to dim, tears forming in her eyes. Those tears fell into the melting snow as she remembered everything that had happened when Jamie was a kid. There was the sledding accident, Sandy's death, Jack making Jamie believe again, the fight with Pitch, all to when Jamie's grandchildren were born.

Tooth straightened herself up as the last glow of the box went away. Thousands of children had died, as Jamie had, she couldn't let this one destroy her. Tooth looked from the box to the gravestone. Silently, she put down the box by the head marker, and put her hand on the stone. She stared at the engraved words, turned, and quietly left the site, just as the sun began to rise.
