OoOoOoOoOoOo

Alex shifted on the sofa uneasily, it had been a week since she'd had that encounter with the tooth fairy and she really didn't want her to come back. Suddenly she felt a hand on her shoulder, Alex screamed and jumped off of the sofa and spun around in terror, Danny stared at her.

"Are you okay?" He asked her warily

"Of course I am, why wouldn't I be?" Alex replied quickly and nervously.

"You seem to be somewhat… twitchy…" Danny explained worriedly, he walked around to the same side of the sofa as Alex and looked at her sympathetically, this only seemed to make her more nervous.

"Well, I'm not twitchy, nothing's wrong." Alex insisted backing away slightly.

"There's obviously something wrong, why don't you tell me?" Danny continued getting frustrated, why did this work when his dad did it and not him?

"It's NOTHING! Stop going on at me!" Alex snapped back before storming off. Danny flopped down on the sofa with his head in his hands.

"I don't understand her, I would have when I was her age; what's so different about me now? What's so different about her?" Danny moaned depressed. He walked over to the mantelpiece and picked up his favourite picture of him Sam and Alex, it was from their first holiday at the beach, Alex and Sam had buried him when he was asleep and they had woken him up to take the picture; his face was full of surprise at being neck-deep in sand and Alex and Sam were laughing happily and poking him. Danny's face cracked into a smile, but then he felt sad, where had his little girl gone? They'd grown further apart the older Alex got and the less he was able to relate to her, they had their good moments, sure, but… it wasn't how it used to be. He sighed and cringed as Alex's door slammed upstairs, he looked out of the window to see Alex slide down the drainpipe moments later, as if he didn't know that's how she got out when she was grounded. He wouldn't stop her though, she didn't want to be around him, that's why she was leaving, and she'd be back before dark anyway.

At about ten at night Alex did indeed heave herself back into her room through her window, sliding to the floor tired she opened her eyes to…

"GYAH!" Alex yelped at the sight of the tooth fairy sitting impatiently on her bed.

"Oh quiet down, it's about time you got back here." She commented annoyed.

"You, you're back, it wasn't just a horrible dream!" Alex whimpered fearing she was going crazy.

"I would happen to be something very nice to dream about thank you." The tooth fairy said pointedly.

"Whatever, what do you want?" Alex demanded, angry now that she shock had passed.

"You, or to be more precise, your powers." The tooth fairy grinned menacingly, her pearly white teeth glinting in the moonlight.

"Fine. Take them, I don't want them." Alex shrugged.

"Ah, if only it were that simple, but no, come with me." The tooth fairy instructed flying out the window. Alex got up and looked out, what exactly was it she was expected to do, it wasn't like she could follow her; at that point the tooth fairy seemed to notice Alex wasn't by her side and flew back looking slightly depressed.

"You haven't learnt to fly yet have you?" She asked annoyed.

"Uh, no?" Alex frowned disliking the feeling of being treated as "slow".

"Eesh, must I do everything around here?" the tooth fairy sighed grabbing Alex's shoulders and hauling her out of the window; her tiny wings seemed to struggled with Alex's weight.

"Turn ghost then already!" the tooth fairy growled, Alex obliged and pressed her fists together, her skin turned black and white, her hair grew long, and she went back to having what could easily pass for zombie-clothes. She regretted not wearing one of her grandfather's stupid jumpsuits, maybe that would have held out better in the ghost portal.

"My aren't you a beauty queen like that? Anyway, you know the phrase sink or swim?" the tooth fairy asked rolling her eyes.

"Uh…yes…" Alex murmured not liking where this was going.

"I call this, fall or fly." She grinned menacingly as she dropped Alex 50 feet above solid concrete. After much screaming and flailing of arms, Alex managed to pull herself up into a passable impression of flight.

"Well done, let's roll." the tooth fairy nodded ignoring Alex's present heart attack.

After a while flying above roads Alex spoke up, "Again I ask, what do you want with me?" Alex asked just managing to swerve to miss a phone line.

"The whole world runs on a system, yin and yang, living and dead, good and bad and so forth." the tooth fairy began to explain.

"Makes sense, but this involves me how?" Alex asked with a raised black eyebrow, which for some reason hadn't changed colour.

"Shut up, I have a good monologue going here. The system is, however, becoming unbalanced. Certain parts of the system are, let's say, acting up." She went on.

"Why?" Alex questioned.

"What did I say about you and talking?" She glared, Alex held her hands up in surrender and remained silent, the tooth fairy continued. "Because the end is coming. Every few hundred years the system receives a re-shuffle, things that no longer serve a purpose are… moved along so to speak. Now, the factor deciding whether this happens to you or not is whether or not you're believed in. The big parts of the system with lots of belief are in no danger, such as myself, Father Christmas, monsters under the bed and so on. But smaller things, well, they get panicky, and they think that acting up and causing chaos will get them noticed and believed in, thus avoiding the re-shuffle." She finished and looked expectantly at Alex.

"Aaaand this has WHAT to do with me now?" Alex asked again.

"Urgh, I need YOU to stop this. Any part of the system caught acting up needs to be put back in its place by you." the tooth fairy sighed rolling her eyes. Humans could be so dim.

"So what am I? The universe's janitor! Why can't YOU do this?" Alex demanded angrily.

"BECAUSE then I would be acting out of place." She retorted stating the obvious.

"Aren't you doing that now? And what'll happen to me when this re-shuffle is over?" Alex shouted angrily.

"Urgh, questions questions, you never shut up. Look, down there." the tooth fairy sighed pointing to a car that had what looked like a small bald angry monkey on it.

"What is that? A ghost?" Alex murmured curiously, all anger forgotten.

"A GHOST? Oh goodness me no. Ghosts are just dead people, nothing to do with your part of the system, so they're not you're concern, I doubt any will go near you anyway. No, that's a jinx." the tooth fairy explained.

"What the heck's a jinx?" Alex asked flying low over the car to get a better look at it.

"When someone wishes ill on a person enough a jinx will appear and cause harm to the person being wished ill on. Basically, they happen and bad things appear." the tooth fairy explained.

"So… isn't it doing what it should be doing then?" Alex asked as the small bald monkey thing chattered at her angrily in between bouts of gnawing at the car's radio antenna.

"No, you wouldn't be able to see him if he was doing what he was supposed to, this one is acting up. So do YOUR job and stop it." She ordered. Alex blinked and turned to the monkey jinx thing.

"Uh… shoo? Bad jinx?" Alex tried.

"That'll strike fear into their hearts. Honestly, why do I even bother, pft, mortals." the tooth fairy muttered.

Alex swatted a hand at the creature and a wave of green light flew out smacking it off of the car, it chattered angrily at her as it fell off before vanishing.

"W00t! I did it!" Alex cheered landing shakily on the ground.

"Yay you." the tooth fairy sighed sarcastically.

"I kicked ass!" Alex danced happily.

"Honestly, this is like pulling teeth, speaking of which I have work to do." The tooth fairy sighed as she turned to fly off.

"Hey! Wait! Why should I even do this for you? What do I get out of this?" Alex demanded grabbing the tooth fairy's ankle.

"You mean what do you get aside from superpowers? The satisfaction of helping the world tick on as it should and your teeth." She threatened.

"Sounds good." Alex squeaked letting go. The tooth fairy vanished and Alex glanced at her watch, it was gone 11, her dad would be livid if he knew she was out this late!
