Claireese's broken tooth

Here's a story I wrote for my daughter not that long ago - she loved it, but she’s' biased! LOL

Claireese’s mommy waited at the window. She was waiting for Claireese to get home from her sleep over at her Aunt Sheila’s. She couldn’t wait to hear about how much fun she had playing with her cousin Kaley.

Aunt Sheila’s car pulled up. Claireese got out of the car looking glum. She came running to the door suitcase in hand looking so very sad.

She came into the house dropped her bag and burst into tears.

“Oh Claireese, please tell me what’s wrong!” mommy said.

“Oh mommy… something terrible has happened!”

“What happened.” Mommy asked

“I lost a tooth!” cried Claireese.

“Why is that terrible don’t you want money from the tooth fairy?” Mommy asked

“Yes mommy but I don’t think she will take it!!!”

“Why not?” Mommy asked.

“Because it broke in half when it came out!” Claireese’s wailed

“Why don’t you think she will take it Claireese?” Mommy asked

Claireese sobbed “Because she uses them to build castles! How can she use something that is broken to build something so beautiful?”

“Oh honey it’s ok I’m sure she will come anyway.” Mommy said confidently.

And so late that night Claireese’s mommy went to her Claireese’s room because she too was worried the tooth fairy would not come for the broken tooth.

She reached under Claireese’s pillow to take the tooth and put some money there in case the tooth fairy did not come. As she did this a soft glowing light appeared behind her and she heard the words “There is no need to take the tooth, I need it for something very special.”

Claireese’s mommy turned around to see what it was and as she did this Claireese woke up. Claireese rubbed her eyes in disbelief. Mommy smiled at her and said “the tooth fairy wants your broken tooth Claireese!”

Claireese sat up in bed “she does?” she asked.

“Yes” I do” said the tooth fairy. “Why don’t the two of you come with me and I will show you.”

Claireese and her mommy held hands and the tooth fairy took them to the land of fairies.

The tooth fairy explained that she had been looking for a broken tooth just that size for a very long time to complete a castle she had been working on in the land of fairies for some very dear friends.

They got to the castle where a beautiful fairy princess awaited. The princess asked the tooth fairy “Did you find one?”

The tooth fairy smiled and said “Yes I believe I did!”

The tooth fairy took the first half of the tooth out of her pocket and placed it into a small hole and it fit perfectly! Then she took out the other half and placed it into another small hole and it too fit perfectly!

Then something amazing happened!! The castle began to glow softly and the fairy princes smiled! She looked at Claireese and said “Thank you so much for your broken tooth Claireese! My castle is finally finished!” The fairy princess hugged Claireese and Claireese hugged her back. Claireese and her mommy thanked the tooth fairy and the princess for letting them see what the broken tooth was used for.

Claireese woke up the next morning and wandered downstairs. Claireese’s mommy looked up at her from her morning coffee.

“Mommy I had the strangest dream last night”

“You did?” mommy asked.

“So did I” mommy smiled

The End.
