Happy Tree Friends Toothy Novels & Stories

tapes Laredo had played in the cabin. As the music played, the front of the box clicked open. Inside, nestled on a bed of black velvet, was a single, perfect tooth. A baby tooth. “It’s not Maya’s,” Toby hissed, his hand hovering over his sidearm. “She hasn’t lost any yet.” “It’s mine,” I whispered, the memory hitting me like a physical blow. “I lost that tooth when I was six. Laredo told me he gave it to the ‘tooth fairy.’ He gave it to the Board.”

“That’s Tobey.” As if summoned by his own name, Tobey came running toward them, pushing a toy truck overflowing with grass, sand, leaves, and several unidentifiable treasures collected with great importance. The wheels refused to turn. He stopped in front of Alicia, brows knitted in deep confusion. “Mommy… It’s broken.” She crouched beside him. “Maybe it’s just tired.” Then she looked up. “Tobey, this is Teddy. An old friend of mine.”

One enormous finger presses lightly against a slightly wobbly tooth, nudging it almost imperceptibly. “No way!” I bark, laughing and leaning forward. Teeth have been a serious topic between Nathan and me for months. He’s cataloged every kid in Tampa who’s lost theirs, down to his cousin Cam’s seven teeth and their curious top-vs-bottom order. “A wiggly tooth? Your first wiggly tooth?” Nathan nods like a little king. “Found it last night. But look I can wiggle it!” His tongue prods it, a millimeter of movement, and he beams like he’s discovered fire.

I did not infact want any of it, save for the few mango flavored candy, oh and the sour patch packets, but I could not, in my right mind let her have all that sugar. “No way, I did all the work.” That much I could not argue with. Angie was leaning on the couch-not sitting- as she ate a bowl of gelato with ketchup. Urrgh. The horror. “Mummy screamed when she saw a chainsaw man.” Heidi promptly announced, Angie snorted. “Look at all the candy I got. I’m going to have so many cavities!” “first off, It was the terrifier and well…he was terrifying, second, that candy is gonna last you till you turn eighteen.” Heidi wasn’t even listening.

Harry looks over my shoulder at him, "They get eaten by night goblins." Toby is at the tender age of four, and he believes in anything and everything. His eyes turn as round as saucers, lower lips trembling, "Night goblins?" Harry nods seriously, "Nasty little creatures. They like to chew your toes like candy. But they only think little boys who lie taste like candy." I elbow my younger brother, muttering, "Stop giving him nightmares." Toby immediately buries his face in my shoulder, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I ate the candy! I don't want the night goblins to eat my toes!"

he pecked my nose. "I can't help it," I smiled, pecking his lips softly but he pulled me for a deep kiss, I retaliated but he pressed my back pushing me closer to him until I yanked myself away from him. I smacked him harshly, frowning my face but he only smiled, rubbing his fingers over his lips, "I haven't even washed my teeth and your saliva is everywhere... haven't you heard of morning breath?" He pulled me closer, nuzzling under my neck while pecking me slowly.

She didn’t survive the trip. We bury her under the moonvine. Rook plants the first cutting. “So she has something growing,” he says. “Even if she couldn’t.” That night, the kids eat together. All forty three. They’re quiet at first. Then Pike, who is seven and didn’t speak for a month after Black Fang, steals a honey cake off Tobin’s plate. Tobin is also seven. He steals it back. Then they’re laughing. It’s the first time I hear forty-three kids laugh at once.

A warm tingle spread from the pit of my stomach to tease my core like caressing fingertips. Tony drew back slowly. "I think your teeth are retracted." I was dazed for a few moments before registering what he'd said. I ran my tongue along them. "How'd you do that?" He smiled. "I'll teach you later ... and also how to mask your eyes after feeding." I blinked. "Don't worry. These are friends. They're human, and fangs give them unnecessary anxiety."

Fuck. I walked over to Sunny. “Be good for your mama.” She took the toy she was biting on out of her mouth and flashed me a wide grin. Not sure why, but that smile kind of hurt this time. Maybe because deep down, I knew I’d be seeing it a lot less. That is, if I could stick to doing what I needed to.

I asked and he shook his head. Joey playing with her chew toys and I picked her up from the floor, "My cutie, your gummies must be hurting from all that chewing" I patted her back as she started crying because I let her drop the chew toy, Lois picked it up and gave it to her. She plugged it back into her mouth and started chewing, I felt sorry for her and I still didn't know why she was acting strange so I googled it. Turns out her gums were itchy because of her teeth and I was embarrassed that I had no idea what was going on with her, "I'm so sorry honey" I kissed her forehead.
