One quiet night in the little town of Willowbrook, a soft breeze whispered through the open window of a small blue house. Inside, a girl named Mia lay under her blanket, wiggling her loose tooth with her tongue.
“It’s almost ready to come out,” she said proudly to her teddy bear, Bobby. “Then the Tooth Fairy will visit me!”
That very night, just as the moon peeked through the clouds, Mia’s tooth finally came loose. She placed it carefully under her pillow and closed her eyes with a smile.
But far above the sleepy town, something unusual was happening.
In the Tooth Fairy Kingdom, where tiny wings shimmered like rainbows, Fairytooth—a cheerful, glitter-covered fairy with a bright golden pouch—was getting ready for her nightly rounds. She sprinkled a bit of moon dust on her wings and twirled in front of the mirror.
“Time to make children smile!” she giggled.
Suddenly, a loud whoosh of wind blew through her window. Fairytooth gasped. Her Star Compass, the magical tool that guided her to every lost tooth, flew out of her hands and disappeared into the dark sky.
“Oh no! Without the compass, I won’t know where to go!” she cried.
Determined not to disappoint any children, Fairytooth set off into the night, her pouch jingling softly. She fluttered past the twinkling stars, searching for her compass.
Down below, in Willowbrook, Mia stirred in her sleep. A faint sound of tinkling bells made her eyelids flutter open. She sat up and blinked—there, by her window, was a tiny figure glowing like a candle flame.
“Whoa… are you the Tooth Fairy?” Mia whispered.
Fairytooth turned, surprised. “Oh dear! You can see me? Children don’t usually wake up!”
Mia grinned sleepily. “Sorry. I think your bells woke me. Are you okay?”
Fairytooth sighed. “I’ve lost my Star Compass. It helps me find all the children’s teeth. Without it, I can’t finish my work tonight.”
Mia’s eyes widened. “Maybe I can help! I’m really good at finding things—once I found Bobby’s missing button in the garden!”
Fairytooth smiled warmly. “You’re very kind, little one. Let’s search together.”
Mia climbed quietly out of bed and tiptoed to the window. Fairytooth sprinkled a tiny pinch of moonlight dust, and suddenly Mia shrank—smaller and smaller—until she was fairy-sized!
“Wow!” Mia gasped, twirling in the air. “I can fly!”
The two soared into the night sky, giggling as they glided past rooftops and trees. They searched behind clouds, under flower petals, and even inside a sleepy owl’s nest (he wasn’t too pleased!).
Just as they were about to give up, Fairytooth spotted a faint sparkle near the old Willow Tree in the park.
“There!” she cried.
Together they swooped down, and sure enough—the Star Compass was tangled in the tree’s branches. Mia climbed up bravely and freed it.
“You did it!” Fairytooth cheered. She hugged Mia and the compass glowed brighter than ever. “Now I can finish collecting all the teeth before sunrise!”
Mia smiled proudly. “Can I come with you?”
Fairytooth shook her head gently. “It’s time for you to rest, brave helper. But I’ll leave you something special.”
She touched Mia’s hand, and a tiny silver star appeared in her palm. “Whenever you see it sparkle, remember—you’re part of the fairy magic too.”
The next thing Mia knew, she was snuggled back in bed, the morning sunlight warming her cheeks. She reached under her pillow—her tooth was gone, replaced by a shiny coin.
But on her nightstand, beside Bobby the bear, was something even more magical: a tiny silver star, still twinkling softly.
Mia smiled. “Goodnight, Fairytooth,” she whispered, before drifting into the sweetest dreams.
