Jacqueline Frost - A ROTG Genderbender

Chapter 2

A small baby tooth holds a coin in his hands as he flies into a small girls room.  He goes under the pillow in one quick motion and comes out holding a tooth.  

Then flies off, in a flock of baby teeth to the tooth palace.  

Hundreds of the fairies fly toward a hollowed out mountain.  This is Tooth's palace.  

Dozens of the tiny fairies flit about.  Teeth are filed away in tiny wooden drawers. The fairies get coins from a huge vending machine type thing.  

"Chicago, Sector 6 -- 37 molars, 22 bicuspids, 18 central incisors.
Moscow, Sector 9 -- 22 incisors, 18 Premolars, Uh oh, heavy rain.  Advisory!" 

"Des Moines, we've got a cuspid at 23 Maple.  Head out!"  It's a huge hive of activity.  And at the centre of it all is a feathery, winged man barking out orders like a hurried air-traffic controller.  This is Tooth.  

The mini fairies turn to get to work.

"Wait!"  Tooth says excitedly.  

And suddenly everything stops.

He's holding up a little tooth, and gazing at it with dreamy adoration.  The surrounding fairies tweet with excitement.

"It's his first tooth.  Have you ever seen a more adorable lateral incisor in all of your life?!"

He then gasps.

"Look how he flossed!"

The fairies' tweets turn to concern, turning Tooth's attention to North's Aurora signal stretching across the sky.

He gasps, and then flies off like a rocket toward the source of the signal, accompanied by a few of his ranking fairies.  

"My fellow Guardians - It is our job to watch over the children of the world, and keep them safe - to bring wonder, hope and dreams.  And so, I've called us all here for one reason, and one reason only - the children are in danger."  North says, basically narrating.

A small girl is sleeping peacefully, with golden sand flowing around her head.  It forms into her paying soccer.  

Dreamsand streams out her window and up into the sky, where there are dosens of strands of sand descending to Earth.  If you keep following up, through majestic clouds... ...to reveal a small, glowing golden cloud of Dreamsand shimmering among the clouds, trailing the golden threads.

The strands are being controlled by a small portly figure,

The Sandwoman.  Suddenly, North's emergency signal zips by.  The Sandwoman turns to look and her eyes narrow, visibly concerned.  Sandy closes her eyes and in an instant the Dreamsand cloud suddenly swirls around him, changing form into a small biplane, with Sandy in the cockpit. She barrel rolls the plane into a dizzying dive through the spectacular cloudscape, and flies off into the distance.

"An enemy we have kept at bay for centuries has finally decided to strike back.  We alone can stop her."  North narrates again.

In a tunnel far underground..

A few Easter eggs pop up out of the ground; their little legs carrying them out of the way of a fast approaching figure.
