The Tooth Hurts

[At Clover's house…]

"Oh no," thought Clover. My tooth hurts. I can't let my mom find out or I'll end up going to the dentist, which I fear will be quite painful. How am I going to ease the pain without having my mom find out? *she comes downstairs*

"Morning, dear," said her mother. Is something wrong?

"I'm fine, mom," said Clover.

"Are you sure?" asked her mother.

"Yes, mom, I'm fine," said Clover.

"Alright," said her mother. I sure hope so. [At school…]

"What's wrong, Clover?" asked Starlight.

"Nothing," said Clover.

"Sure doesn't look like nothing," said Bright Eyes.

"Oh my tooth hurts," sighed Clover.

"Why not tell your mom so you can get it taken out?" asked Starlight.

"That's what I'm afraid of," said Clover. I fear that will be more pain than what I'm dealing with now.

"It should only truly last a couple of days," said Sweetheart.

'How do you know?" asked Clover.

"Well Teddy had one of his teeth taken out last year after school ended," said Sweetheart. He was truly fine after a few days. He said it didn't hurt at all since they gave him laughing gas.

"So he was laughing?" asked Clover.

"Laughing gas is to put you to sleep so that you don't feel the pain," said Bright Eyes.

"Well that would be good," said Clover.

"Why not tell your mom after school today?" asked Melody.

"Well, okay," said Clover not completely sure about the idea.[After school…]

"I'm home, mom," said Clover coming in the door.

"How was school, dear?" asked her mother.

"Fine," said Clover. Mom, my tooth hurts.

"Oh dear," said her mother. Any idea why?

"I don't know but I want it removed so that I won't have this pain anymore," said Clover.

"Well let's go see your dentist then," said her mother. [At the dentist…]

"Well, Clover, you have a tooth problem, eh?" asked Ralph the dentist. Not a problem, we'll take it out in a jiffy. You won't even feel a thing. *he applies the laughing gas and Clover falls asleep* [An hour later…]

"Wake up, dear," said her mother.

"Wha….what?" said Clover.

"The tooth is out, Clover, we can go home now," said her mother.

"The tooth removal was a complete success," said Ralph. It should be a few days before you return to normal. [At school a few days later…]

"Hey, Clove," said Starlight. Feeling better?

"Definitely," said Clover. Feels good to have that tooth out.

"How was it?" asked Bright Eyes.

"I don't remember much," said Clover. Last I remember was he told me he could get the tooth out quickly and he'd be using the laughing gas, which he did use. He said it'd be a few days before I was back to normal and he was right.

"Not afraid of the dentist anymore, Clove?" asked Starlight.

"Well I don't know about that but I know that getting a tooth taken out isn't so bad," said Clover.

"That's good to hear," said Melody.

"Now you can comfort us if any of us need a tooth taken out," said Bright Eyes. *the gang laughs*

"We'd better get into class now," said Starlight. *they head inside*

"Oh good, Clover, you're back," said Hackney. Clover was out the past few days after getting a tooth removed, which must've been painful for you.

"It wasn't too bad," said Clover.

"Well it's good to have you back, Clover," said Hackney.

"Tell me about it," said Clover. One thing that I don't want back is the pain from before I got my tooth removed. *the class laughs*
