The Birthday - Tooth's Palace (2 of 4)
Previously- Of course, that was exactly when he dropped down the rabbit hole.
It was fairly surprising, but less so than the other things that had happened to him today. He zoomed down the dirt tunnel, with a laugh. He came to a stop on a circular platform. He immediately knew he was at Tooth's palace. All the mini fairies buzzing around might have been a clue. He turned to look around. Everything seemed to hang or float. The towers, well, towered over everything. It was beautiful, and Jack didn't even feel bashful about using that word.
Suddenly, a fairy flew into his face.
"Hi Baby Tooth! How are you doing?"
She chirruped in her fairy language, and Jack took it to mean "Great!"
"Do you know what I'm doing here?"
The fairy nodded and pulled at his hair.
He laughed, "You want me to follow you too huh?"
She zoomed off with Jack right on her heels. It must have been a record, the Winter Spirit realized later, not a single mini-tooth fainted at the sight of him. Making sure his mouth was closed might have helped. He followed Baby Tooth to one of the many towers. They slipped inside through an open door. It was a bit darker inside than out, and it took Jack's eyes a moment to adjust. Stairs spiraled up near the top of the ceiling. Baby Tooth quickly yanked on his hair to make sure he would follow her. Up the stairs they flew. They passed four doors before reaching the top. The two of them looked at each other.
"Let me guess, open the door, right?"
As his friend nodded enthusiastically, Jack reached out his hand and opened the door.
As he stepped inside, his jaw dropped yet again. Inside was a comfy looking room, with a big circular window set into a wall. Pillows and beanbags adorned the floor, and a blue rug that matched the rounded white and brown walls sat on the ground. There was an archway straight across from him, with more stairs inside. As Baby Tooth tugged him toward it, he looked out the window and noticed the breathtaking view of the entire palace. Jack climbed the stairs and found himself in yet another room with a large window. This room though, unlike the last one, was furnished with a bed. A giant four poster bed with hanging curtains decorated with snowflakes. Jack didn't think he would ever get the grin off his face.
"This is for me too?"
At his friend's affirmative answer he jumped in the air with a "Wahoo!"
He turned and looked at the fairy.
"This means I can visit anytime!"
After his outburst, he looked suspiciously at the floor.
"Am I gonna get to be Alice in Wonderland again?" Baby Tooth merely smiled.
As the floor opened up beneath him, he groaned "Not again!"
