"What- what do you mean?" Amanda asked confused. Rosi just stared, utterly confused as well. Tooth took a deep breath.
"Okay… umm… let's say that hypothetically, there is a guardian in the moon that goes by the name of Man in Moon that looks over the children of the earth. However, he can't leave his home, so he has a group of immortal warriors called the Guardians to do his job in the planet… what would you say?" she said while choosing her words carefully.
"I'll say that it sounds like the plot of a movie… or a children's book…" Rosi said.
"And all of this is hypothetically speaking?" Amanda asked Tooth while raising an eyebrow.
"Yes" Tooth said hoping that they were going to believe her.
"Then continue" Rosi said. Tooth let out a little breath of relief.
"All right… so, um these Guardians are all those characters from legends and stories that you are told when you're little: The Tooth Fairy, Santa Clause, The Easter Bunny, The Sandman and Jack Frost. Each one of them protects something important for the children; they protect their memories, their wonder, their hope, and their dreams and make them have fun. And together, they make sure the children stay safe from threats" Tooth continued.
"Threats like…?" Amanda asked.
"Like things and people that want to hurt them" Tooth, her mind wandering to Pitch.
"And, hypothetically speaking, you are saying that you are one of them. Same thing goes for the guys" Rosi guessed.
"Yes… I would be the Tooth Fairy" Tooth said while nodding. The girls didn't say anything. They just looked at each other, as if they were debating if Tooth had officially lost her mind.
Tooth brought her gaze to the floor, knowing they didn't believe her. She and the others had been fools if they thought that they would believe her. She didn't noticed Rosi walking towards her, and before Tooth knew it, she was being hugged.
"Thank you for guarding my childhood" Rosi said.
"You believe me?" Tooth whispered, amazed.
"Honestly, 'hypothetically speaking' means 'not real. It's a what if scenario' but… every time someone says it, they are saying a truth disguised as a lie. Also, this kind of explains your behavior insisting to kids that they brush their teeth" Rosi said.
"Thanks… but that's not all. You may be wondering what are we doing here, and why do we look human" Tooth said, relieved that this was working.
"As a matter of fact, yes" Rosi said, while glancing at Amanda, who seemed uncertain to believe Tooth.
"It's a funny story, actually. Man in Moon, who, like I said before, is like our boss, said that we needed to spend more time with children in order to do our jobs even better. So he turned us mortal and human and put us in S. A. W. for this week. The spell reverts today at midnight" Tooth continued to explain.
"Which would explain why you guys are leaving today" Rosi realized.
"Yeah" Tooth confirmed.
"So… what do you protect exactly?" Rosi asked, curious.
"I am the Guardian of Memories. When someone needs to remember what's important, I bring those memories back to help them." Tooth said.
"That sounds cool, don't you think Amanda?" Rosi asked her friend, who was still uncertain.
"Prove it" she finally said while crossing her arms in her chest.
"What?" Rosi asked.
"She heard me. I want proof. You say you are the Tooth Fairy and a Guardian. So, prove it" Amanda said.
Tooth gulped. She did not expect that. She tried to quickly come up with something that didn't involve powers. She then remembered something that hopefully could be useful.
"Okay, when you were little, you had a loose tooth and it got knocked out by another girl who punched you" she said with a smile. Amanda opened up her mouth in shock.
"Oh my- You really are the Tooth Fairy" she said, still in shock.
"How did you know that? Because I certainly didn't until now" Rosi asked her amazed.
"Well, remember the things that I said that we protected?" Rosi and Amanda nodded.
"The teeth that me and my fairies collect guard your childhood´s most important moments. Kind of as a side effect, I know how the child lost the teeth" Tooth explained.
"Wow. Just… wow" Amanda said.
"Wait, so if you are the Tooth Fairy, then Nicolas must be Santa, because he is also known as 'Old Saint Nick', right?" Rosi started to say.
"Aja"
"And given the fact that Aster seems to be very good at finding things that are well hidden, almost like Easter eggs… that would make him the Easter Bunny!" Amanda guessed.
"Yep"
"Sanderson is mute… and he also appears to be sleepy all the time… that makes him the Sandman!" Rosi said. Tooth nodded happily.
"Which only leaves Jack, who is obviously Jack Frost" Amanda finished.
"That pretty much is it" Tooth said.
"This is so unbelievable. I mean, I believe it now, but it still sounds unbelievable" Amanda said.
"You need to tell us everything" Rosi said.
"I promise I will" Tooth said smiling. She glanced at the dress hanging in her arm.
"But first I'm going to try this on before Mary comes back" she said. The other two nodded in agreement.
"You know something funny, Rosi?" Amanda whispered to her.
"No, what?" she replied.
"We haven't being trying to bring two teenagers together: we are hooking up two immortal beings that leave coins under our pillows and make snow days!"
