Baby Tooth didn't register when the door to her room was burst open. She was too busy looking at her new body. She looked to be about 8 years old with one blue eye and one purple eye . She was covered in light blue and purple feathers except for the yellow feather on the top of her head . Her wings had grown to match her size and on her forehead above her right eye there was a small purple marking. She took deep breaths in order to calm herself down. This was all just a dream. Sooner or later she will wake up and be in her normal body preparing to go deliver another Tooth for her mother.
"Baby Tooth?" she heard a voice call softly.
She turned her head away from the mirror and looked towards the voice. In the doorway of her room stood the guardians all wearing shocked expressions on their faces. Tooth flew towards her with a concerned look on her face. What happened to her little fairy? She picked up the child and cradled her in her arms. She could feel Baby Tooth shivering which made her hold onto the girl tighter.
"Is she okay?" she heard Jack Frost ask as he peered over her shoulder.
She didn't respond to his question right away her attention still focused on the child. "She's fine just a little scared." Tooth replied as she gently rubbed the golden feather in an attempt to get her to calm down.
Sandy floated towards the two of them looking at Baby Tooth. He then produced a small trail of sand that was pointing at the child. Tooth nodded her head and Sandman put the child to sleep. They watched as an image of a little tooth fairy danced around the girl's head.
Toothiana looked towards the door to talk to the others but they were gone. "They went back to the globe room. North said when we were ready to meet him there. " Jack explained twirling his staff around in his hand. Tooth walked past him out of the room towards their destination ignoring the other fairies who were asking questions about the child in her arms. Tooth didn't even know what was happening. How was she going to explain it to her little fairies?
Jack passed her so he could open the doors to the globe room. As she walked inside the room she could see Bunnymund and North talking quietly about something in front of the spinning globe. Jack sent a shot of ice at Bunnymund who quickly dodged out out of the way. He growled at him.
"You little-" Bunnymund started but was interrupted by North.
"Ahh, you finally made it, eh?" North said clapping his hands together.
"Is the little anklebiter okay?" Bunnymund said as he glared at Jack.
"She's fine. She was just in shock for a little bit." Tooth replied as she gently placed Baby Tooth down on the couch. Her fairies went off in search of a blanket for her.
"That's understandable." North said as he scratched his beard.
"Is this the first time this happened?" Jack asked Tooth.
She shook her head yes before she turned toward the window. The moon was out and it's glow was causing Tooth to feel relaxed but still slightly worried. "Do you think…." Tooth started as she looked out the window. North and Sandy shared a glance.
"Woah! Are you saying you think the Man in the Moon changed her?!" Jack exclaimed jumping around.
They hushed him pointing at Baby Tooth who lightly stirred. Then, a ray of moonlight entered the room.
"Manny?" North breathed.
They watched as the moonlight slowly trailed across the room towards Baby Tooth. When the moonlight landed on Baby Tooth the mark on her forehead started to glow. The mark faded off of her forehead and appeared above her. Tooth gasped as the mark changed to form words.
The Tooth Princess
"Princess?" Jack said furrowing his brow.
The other guardians were confused as well but Tooth understood. Her being the Tooth Queen, ruler of all the fairies and guardian of memories needed someone to be next in line. Tooth gasped. Her wings started to flutter at an amazing pace. This was fantastic!
If anything were to happen to her she now has someone to take over her role! What made it even better was that it was her little Baby Tooth.
She remembered holding the little fairy in her hand wondering why she looked so different from the rest. Even then Tooth could feel that there was something special about her.
"Um….Tooth" Jack said as he distracted her from her thoughts.
"This is fantastic!" she yelled.
The shout woke Baby Tooth up. She looked down at her body. It was still the same as before!
"Hey, Baby Tooth. Have a good nap!" Jack said as he jumped over to the couch she was resting on.
"Um, I guess." she replied as she sat up .
It was weird hearing her new voice. This was going to take some getting used to. Her sisters darted around her head curious about her new form. She threw the blanket off of her and jumped off the couch. Well, more like attempted because as soon as she jumped out of the couch she fell to the floor.
Toothiana gasped and flew towards her. "Be careful!" her mother warned as she helped her up. She stood shakily on her legs her body not used to using them. It would probably be better to just fly instead.
Baby Tooth raised her wings and started flapping like she usually did and slowly she felt her feet rise up of the ground. Victory! She thought as she hovered in the air! She could hear her sisters cheering from behind her. "Good job!" Toothiana said congratulating her as she flew around Baby Tooth.
They were interrupted from their celebration by a cough. They turned towards the other guardians who wore confused looks on their faces. Sandy formed an arrow pointing to Baby Tooth then he formed a question mark above his head.
"BabyToothisgoingtobemyprotegeItisgoingtobeamazingThereissomuchpreparingtodosolittletime-" Toothiana said before she grabbed Baby Tooth and flew out the window with the rest of the fairies following her. The rest of the guardians watched her go with there mouth agape.
"Soooo did anybody understand that?" Jack said.
