Loose Tooth

Summary: Cana's got her first loose tooth and it is driving her insane, naturally she decides to seek some help in getting it out. However, it wouldn't be Fairy Tail if things didn't spiral out of control.

Disclaimer: I don't own

AN: This is inspired by that scene for the Santa Clause 2, mostly because I thought it was hilarious and just know that someone tried this at some point in Fairy Tail's history.

Cana grumbled under breath as she furiously wiggled her loose tooth.

The stupid thing just wouldn't come out!

"What's wrong Cana?" Laxus asked curiously, the soon to be twelve-year-old plopping down next to his cousin.

"It won't come out!" She said irritably.

The blond blinked, before he remembered the conversation from earlier that week," Oh you mean your tooth?"

"Yes." She said, rolling her eyes at how forgetful the older boy could be," It's really bugging me. Daddy says leave it, but I want it out!"

He shrugged," Well- let's get it out then. Macao and Wakaba helped me pull mine out- it'll probably work for you to."

The six-year-old grinned- Laxus was awesome.

oOOOOo

"How is this even possible?!" Macao asked incredulously, staring at the irritated little girl in astonishment," We've tried everything- how is it still in there?!"

"I don't know!" She mumbled, the speech coming out slightly garbled as she talked around the string tied to her tooth," It's been bugging me all week!'

Wakaba stood up and stretched," Well we're not giving up yet- that little thing is laughing at us and it is going to pay!"

Cana looked at them warily," Uh… you know maybe I should just leave it…"

"No!" Both men said impatiently, already theorizing their next try.

This had been going on for the better part of two hours. Laxus and she had tried to have him pull it out, but the floss kept breaking. Then they had recruited the help of Macao and Wakaba- the two had laughed and tied a bit of string around the tooth that would be harder to break and then tried pulling it out themselves… the string still broke.

Then they had escalated to the classic shut-the-door-with-string-on-tooth… which also ended in failure. The then tried having Cana sit on the bar while they dropped a rock- still nothing.

Which has lead them to this point.

The whole guild was trying not to laugh as they watched the two men get the little girl set up. They had her standing on the second floor with Macao (what Master didn't know wouldn't kill them), and the string had been tied to a toaster.

Wakaba was waiting on the main floor with Laxus to catch said toaster when they dropped it.

"Okay!" Laxus yelled," Drop the toaster!"

The fire wizard grinned and dropped the appliance.

Three things happened.

First being that the string once again broke.

The second that Macao, who had been leaning over the railing eagerly waiting for the toaster to hit the floor, somehow lost his balance and accidentally shoved Cana from behind as he fell over the railing- trying and failing to catch himself.

Third: when the little girl was accidentally struck by her babysitter, she lost her balance and smashed face-first into the railing of the second floor.

Everyone gaped for moment before they flew into action.

The fire wizard was helped up by his guildmates while Laxus bolted up the stairs to check on Cana.

The six-year-old had blood gushing from both her nose and her mouth.

"Are you okay?" He asked in a rush, wondering why she wasn't at least crying (was she in shock?) when she flashed him a bright grin.

"It's finally out!" She cheered, holding up the tooth like it was some kind of trophy completely uncaring of the blood that was staining her clothes. "Why didn't we try that first!"

oOOOOo

Gildarts returned home from a long day of pretending to be nice to creeps like Ichiya as he stepped in for Master in settling a dispute between Fairy Tail and Blue Pegasus.

He returned to the guildhall expected to pick up his sweet little girl and then make the walk home.

Instead he was greeted by chaos as the whole guild seemed to be clustered around the bar for some reason.

"Is everything okay?" He asked curiously, raising an eyebrow at how the crowd went dead silent at the sound of his voice.

Before he could ask again a tiny shape bolted out from the crowd.

"DADDY DADDY DADDY DADDY!" His little girl shrieked as she bounced right up to him, and he could only stare in horror at his blood-covered little one as she thrust something up toward him," My tooth fell out!" She said cheerfully, completely oblivious to her father's horror.

"Oh my god!" He yelped and dropped to his knees, frantically inspecting his child. "What happened?! Where are you bleeding from- hospital. Right- I should take you to the hospital. Baby who did this to you?!"

"Daddy?" Cana asked in confusion," My tooth fell out Daddy…" She said, hurt that he didn't seem to be as excited as she was.

He gaped, looking from his baby's hurt expression to the blood all over both her face and her dress and his brain shut down.

"Let's… let's go home princess." He said weakly, picking his daughter up and trying to compensate for his shaking arms," You could use a bath."

"But Daddy- "She protested but her father was completely done, mechanically beginning to walk her home.

Heads were going to roll… later though. When he could think clearly and see something beyond his sweet little girl covered in blood.
