Brianna the Tooth Fairy
Page 4
Jack Frost pulled his wand from inside his T-shirt and tapped himself on the head. His hair sprang up into its usual spikes, and his blue cloak replaced his human clothes. Without even glancing at Rachel, Kirsty, and Brianna, he flourished his wand. With a loud thunderclap and a rush of icy wind, Jack Frost disappeared, taking along his tooth, his teddy bear, and his display stand.
Brianna sighed with relief.
“He’s gone back to his Ice Castle, thank goodness!” she said. “You were both terrific! I couldn’t have gotten my pouch back without you.”
“We enjoyed it,” said Kirsty with a laugh. “I’ll never forget seeing Jack Frost get a ‘good patient’ sticker!”
“Thank you for everything,” said Brianna. “It’s time for me to go back to Fairyland, so good-bye — for now!” She winked at them and then vanished in a puff of fairy dust. Rachel and Kirsty smiled at each other. They would never forget today, either!
That night, Kirsty went to sleep with her tooth under her pillow. When she woke up in the morning, she slipped her hand under her pillow and felt something that hadn’t been there the night before. Kirsty drew her hand out slowly.
“What did Brianna leave for you?” asked Rachel, bounding over to her bed.
Kirsty opened her hand, and the girls saw two objects lying there. One was a shiny dollar coin. The other was a narrow silver ring, set with a tiny shimmering stone.
“Is it a pearl?” asked Kirsty, holding it up to the light.
The stone had transparent walls, and something inside was sparkling.
“No, it’s not a pearl,” said Rachel in excitement. “I know what it is! Brianna has given you a moonstone that looks like your tooth!”
The girls shared a smile.
“This adventure has been a lot of fun,” said Kirsty. “Now I’m really, really looking forward to losing my next tooth!”

Read on for a special sneak peek….
“I can’t wait to see Mom’s face when she arrives at her surprise birthday party!” Rachel Walker said with a little skip of excitement.
“Yes, she’ll be so amazed when she realizes that you and your dad arranged it all!” replied her best friend, Kirsty Tate, swinging her rollerskates happily.
Kirsty was staying at Rachel’s house in Tippington during school break. Rachel’s mom thought that Kirsty was just there for a visit, but she was also there to attend Mrs. Walker’s surprise party!
“Everything’s ready,” said Rachel, counting things off on her fingers. “The food, the music, the decorations for the village hall …”
“What about the cake?” Kirsty asked.
“Dad ordered that from the bakery,” said Rachel with a smile. “He’s not very good at baking, and he wanted it to be perfect!”
The friends were on their way to the local park to go rollerskating. As they passed the village hall where Mrs. Walker’s party was going to be, Rachel squeezed Kirsty’s hand.
“Let’s just quickly look inside,” she said. “I want to show you where I’m planning to put all the decorations on the day of the party.”
“Ooh, yes!” said Kirsty eagerly. “I can’t wait to help you decorate the hall and lay out the food.”
They peeked in the door — and their mouths fell open in astonishment. A group of boys and girls were there in their best party outfits, but no one seemed to be having a good time. The guests were talking in low voices. They all looked upset! Some of the parents were kneeling on the floor, cleaning up squished cakes and spilled drinks. A box of decorations sat untouched by the window. There was a stereo on the stage, but it was making a strange whining sound and there was smoke coming out of the top.
A little girl was standing by the door with her head down. She was wearing a pretty pink dress with a white sash, but she looked very sad.
“Hello,” said Rachel. “Is this your party?”
The little girl nodded her head. Her big blue eyes filled with tears.
