Big Change
Finally arrived… at the store…
"Ladies first…" Jack said as he opened the door for Tooth.
"Thanks." Tooth replied and went inside then Jack followed.
"What flavor would you li-" Jack asked but was cut when he saw Aster.
Tooth wondered why he stopped. She turned her head to see where Jack is looking and she saw Aster.
"I bet you know him too." Tooth smirked and crossed her arms. "Hey Aster!" Tooth greeted.
"Hey. You two out on a date?" Aster joked yet he felt pain deep inside.
"Haha..." Tooth let out a sarcastic laugh and rolled her eyes.
"I'll go get us fries." Tooth said as she left Aster and Jack.
"Hey." Jack greeted.
"Hey." Aster replied. "Am I disturbing your date?"
"We're not on a date…" Jack denied with a high tone.
"You like her?" Aster asked.
Jack's eyes grew bigger of the sudden question. He became speechless.
"Hey Jack… I just want you to answer me a yes or no… Y'know… silence means yes…" Aster joked.
"I – I don't know…" Jack replied as he scratched the back of his head.
Aster tapped Jack's shoulders.
"Good luck man." Aster said to him and left eventually. The words that came from his mouth was like acid but he thinks that it was the right thing to say.
Jack made a big sigh.
Then he was surprised as a tiny hand touched his shoulders. He turned around to see who it was
"Where's Aster?" Tooth asked.
"Oh… well, he left already." Jack replied.
"Okay… Let's eat! But these aren't free coz you said it was your treat!" Tooth said and laughed.
Jack just returned her a weak smile which made Tooth felt bad.
Then the both of them took their seats silently.
Tooth felt awkward.
Tooth made a fake cough as she saw the frown on Jack's face. Tooth wanted to break the silence between them. She made a big sigh.
"So…" Tooth started shyly.
Jack just looked at her.
"Can you tell me how we've met before?" Tooth asked as she made a sip from her drink.
Jack smirked. "You were crazy for me." He replied.
Tooth choked. "E – Excuse me?"
"Heh… just kidding." Jack replied.
Tooth rolled her eyes and smiled.
"Can I ask you something?" Jack asked.
"Well you're asking already…" Tooth joked.
"Hehehe… uuummm…"
"Okay. What's your question?" Tooth asked.
Jack made a big sigh.
"You told me that you don't know me. And you also told me that the girl I was looking for wasn't you right?" Jack said.
Tooth's eyes grew bigger. She was confused as she couldn't find out where Jack's question is going.
"Y-Yeah…" Tooth said as she nodded her head slowly.
Jack sighed again.
"Okay. Let's just say that all you said was true. If you really are not 'that' Tooth, then I'm going to say something…" Jack explained.
"O-okay…" Tooth said. She is still confused…
Jack looked above and touched the back of his neck. 'Okay Jack! You can do it! Man up! Just chill!' He argued on his mind.
"Tooth! Uuummm… I mean the other Tooth! Not you! I – I…" Jack was so nervous.
Tooth just looked at his rolling brown eyes.
Jack coughed.
"I'm sorry… Okay, the thing is… I… I…" Jack said nervously.
"You…? What is it Jack?" Tooth asked impatiently.
"I… I liked that 'Tooth' that I knew before…" Jack said quickly.
Tooth was shocked. They looked at each other for ten seconds. Then suddenly, Tooth made a tiny laugh.
"Really? Well, even though I know I wasn't the 'Tooth' that you meant… I'm a little flattered." Tooth said.
Jack scratched the back of his head and avoided to look at Tooth's pretty lilac eyes.
"Well… why?" Tooth asked.
"I don't know… coz she's nice… and… uuummm…" Jack replied shyly. 'Well this is embarrassing' He thought and looked away.
"Well… I'm guessing that 'that Tooth' you liked, liked you too." Tooth said.
Jack turned his head to face her.
"It's because of your pearly whites…" Tooth said and made a small laugh.
Jack just returned her a smile.
"Okay… after this… let's go to Jamie…" Jack said.
Tooth nodded with a smile and finished their food.
At Jamie's house
"Tooth! Jack!" Jamie shouted as he was running towards them.
"Jamie!" Tooth said and they both hugged each other.
"Perfect timing guys! Good thing you're here… Mom is out on the market. Now I'm left alone with Sophie but now she's having a tantrum!" Jamie explained.
"Really?" Tooth said worriedly and immediately went inside to check on Sophie leaving Jamie and Jack on the gate.
"Hey there little guy!" Jack greeted.
"Hey Jack!" Jamie replied. "What brought you here anyway?"
"Nothing actually… just passed by…" Jack replied. "Come on, let's go inside."
Jamie nodded and the both of them went inside.
As Jack opened the door, he saw Tooth carrying Sophie who was already asleep but the whole place was a mess.
"Whoah… what happened here? Was there a stampede that we've missed?" Jack joked.
"Hehehe… she was just sleepy, that's all. I'm just going to put her on her bed upstairs then I'll be back as quick as a bunny." Tooth said and went upstairs.
"Well… I'll prepare us some snacks." Jamie said and went to the kitchen.
Jack was about to follow Tooth upstairs but suddenly he received a call so he went to the backyard and answered it.
"Hey Jamie." Tooth called.
"What is it Tooth?" He replied.
"Where's Jack?" Tooth asked.
"Oh… I think he's at the backyard." Jamie replied.
Tooth just nodded and went to the backyard. And there she saw Jack shouting at the person he's talking with on the phone.
Jack was talking to her mother.
"You must marry her Jack!"
"No I will not!" Jack replied."Why do you keep on forcing me to do things that I never wanted?! My answer is final and it's a big NO!" He shouted.
"Do you want to help Emma?"
Jack's eyes grew bigger and was speechless.
"If you still care for her, you must marry her, Jack. Follow everything what your uncle tells you to do. He is the key to help Emma. And when he commands you to marry that girl, do it!"
"F – fine…" Jack replied and ended the call.
Jack was still angry, shocked, speechless, and sad. His feelings were unknown. He covered his face with his hood and thought about the situation.
Then suddenly, he thought about Tooth. He thought about his problems with Tooth.
Jack punched the tree beside him. ' I am in such a mess!' Jack thought.
Then suddenly a hand touched his shoulders. He craned his neck to see who it was.
And then, he saw his friend before. Tooth.
