Chapter 2

A couple minutes later he arrived at his location. He had a goal and he was determined to fulfil it, even if it broke him. He took a deep breath and headed in.

As soon as Jack walked into the tooth palace he was ambushed by tons of the mini fairies. He just smiled, causing many of them to faint, as they usually did. Baby Tooth zipped up to him and squeaked happily
'Hi Baby Tooth.' Said Jack 'Where's Tooth?'
Baby Tooth chirped and went off, Jack following. He knew that she wouldn't be busy as it was the weekend. Jack remembered the arguments between her and the rest of the Guardians about her over working herself. She finally conceded and took every weekend off.

Back to the matters at hand, Baby Tooth and Jack had arrived at the tooth palace's lounge. They knocked on the door and walked in. There, sitting on the couch, well hovering just above it, was Tooth. She was currently reading, completely oblivious to the other two. Jack cleared his throat, causing her to jump. She turned around quickly, a look of shock on her face. When she saw it was Jack, her expression went from shock to pure joy. She zoomed over to him and hugged him tightly.
'Hey Jack' said Tooth, excitedly 'Long time, no see.'
'I know. Look, Tooth, can I talk to you?' asked Jack.
'Aren't you doing so already?' asked the fairy
'As in, alone' replied Jack
'Oh, OK. Baby Tooth, you are dismissed.' Said Tooth
Baby Tooth chirped, disgruntled with the instruction, but the mini fairy complied and flew off.
'So what do you want to talk about Jack?' asked Tooth

A couple of minutes later, Jack had fully explained his situation.
'So,' said the winter spirit 'Tooth, will you give me the joy of being my girlfriend?'
'Oh, Jack.' Sighed Tooth 'I'm so sorry, but I don't feel like I'm quite ready for a relationship at the moment. You see, I recently discovered that my father, who was human, found someone else after my mother fled to have me. Apparently, they had a son. It's just, I've lost all my family as beyond my half-brother there's nothing.'
'Oh, OK. I'm sorry' replied Jack
'Don't be, you have nothing to apologise about, it should be me who is sorry.' Replied Tooth
'I should be off then. Just remember my offer. I'll still be here.' Said Jack and he headed off, saying goodbye to the other fairies as he passed. He went back to his home as quick as he could. Once he was inside, he broke down and cried. What he didn't notice was who he passed when he was exiting the tooth castle.

'What's wrong with Jack?' signed Sandy to Tooth. He had arrived to drop off some dream sand for Tooth, to help get over the loss of her family, and saw Jack leaving, teary eyed.
'Oh, it's a long story' replied the fairy.
A clock appeared above Sandy's head, showing he had time.
Tooth sighed and started explaining, starting from when Jack arrived, to when he left

A while later, Sandy had heard the whole story and came to the conclusion that he couldn't help and left, leaving Tooth to her own thoughts

'Oh, what have I done?' thought Tooth 'I just put Jack off me. I love him, but now. Argh! Why did I have to be so stupid?! I hate myself now. I have to talk to him, tell him what I feel about him, but that's going to be hard, seeing as he probably hates me. Wait! North is holding his annual gathering in a week, and we're required to attend. And anyway, Jack wouldn't miss it. I'll talk to him then, and try to make him see sense.' Tooth decided to use some of Sandy's dream sand and slept calmly, even though there were still dark clouds in her mind.
