I just adore this chapter to bits!


Chapter 8: Was it THAT? Wait, what IS that?

"You were weally great, miss Toofie." A little three year old said whom Tooth was braiding

"Thank you, dearie. How was Sir Jack?" Tooth asked, glancing over to the left where Jack was currently being tortured with bounce house balls

"He was g-eat too." The girl giggled, "My mommy said you two look good," she paused, "Toge? Togathew? Tagethow?"

"Together?" Tooth smile weakly

"Yes! That's the word."

"Hm, really? Well do you think that we are?" Tooth whispered

"Uhuh. But will siw Jack not be Ween Elsa anymore?" The girl asked, looking at Tooth's violet eyes

"We'll see." Tooth answered and she tied a band at the end of the braid, "Go on. Play with your friends."

The little girl ran towards the small plastic house at the other side of the room just as Jack had started running towards where Tooth was.

"What? Are you my next braiding victim?" Tooth asked Jack, holding a lock of his white hair

"No." Jack chuckled, removing her grasp on his hair

"Alright. Oh hey, the children are asking if you'd still be Elsa."

Jack groaned, "Oh please no."

He stood up and turned to the children, "Kids, I'll no longer be Queen Elsa. I will be Hiccup from How to train your dragon, and I will,"

Then he did what seemed the most embarrassing thing at the moment.

He hiccupped.

"Yes, you sure are Hiccup." Tooth laughed, all the children laughing with her

Jack sat back down and buried his face on a nearby pillow.

"You probably know this but I'm blushing really bad and I don't want anybody to see." Jack muttered into the pillow

Tooth held onto the sides of the pillow and tried to pry it out of Jack's face.

"T-Tooth, no. No, Tooth! Tooth! No!"

Then she successfully got the pillow out of his place.

"What? Did you seriously think yelling my name and 'no' three times would get me to stop?" Tooth chuckled then stopped suddenly and stared at his face

Jack turned his head down and his eyes up to Tooth.

"Well, you look good blushing." Tooth gushed

"Uh, thanks...?"

"Makes me want to see you like that more often." She smiled lightly

"Oh, uh, really?" Jack looked up at Tooth, "But you know what would make the blush all better?"

"What?"

"If you're the cause of it." Jack neared his face near Tooth's making her blush

"Jack," Tooth whispered, "There are kids."

They turned towards the children who were now staring at them intently.

"You and Miss Tooth act like my mommy and daddy that's why I will call you 'mommy and daddy'." A little boy pointed out

Jack snickered, "I like your logic, Dexy."

The bell rang and the sad noises of the children were right on cue.

"You'll see us all tomorrow." Tooth encouraged

They all went to their stuff and lined up.

"Good day, mommy and daddy." The children greeted and exited the room

"Well, would you look at their mischief." Jack muttered

"Got it from you." Tooth commented

Tooth started picking the small balls they used to throw at Jack and placed them at the small bounce house by the corner of the room.

"Jack," Tooth started

"Really likes Toothiana." Jack interrupted, "As in, like like."

Tooth faced the boy who had a very serious look on his face.

"I, I uh,"

"In fact, I think he's starting to fall in love with Tooth." Jack added, "I love you, Tooth."

Suddenly, a blue round portal swirled from thin air, sucking the wind in.

"What's that?" Tooth asked as Jack put her behind him

"I don't know."

Just then, the portal started to suck Jack in. Jack held on to Tooth's hand that held on to a silver railing.

"Hold on, Jack!" Tooth said

"I, I can't. I'm slipping!" Jack replied

Tooth lost her grip on Jack and the boy had unfortunately been sucked in to the portal.
