“Ada Twist, Scientist: Tooth Fairy Bells.”
EXT. ADA’S HOUSE - DAY
ROSIE
Come on, come on, come on.
The
IGGY
I can’t believe she lost one!
ADA opens the door to see IGGY and ROSIE with their backpacks and sleeping bags.
ADA
Iggy! Rosie! Come in.
Iggy and Rosie come inside and she
ROSIE
You had me at ‘Lost tooth’ and ‘Sleepover.’ So, where is it?
IGGY
I don’t wanna see it ’cause it’s scary. But I do wanna see it... for science.
ADA
C’mon, it’s in my room.
The door
ADA
Here it is.
We hear the
IGGY
Wooow!
ROSIE
Boy, when teeth are not in your mouth, they sure look funny.
Iggy is horrified.
IGGY
(then)
Wait... Does this mean you’re gonna be toothless forever? I mean, we’d still love you, of course, but it would take some getting used to.
They debate about the Tooth Fairy.
ROSIE
Everybody knows you only stay toothless if the Tooth Fairy doesn’t come to take your tooth and replace it with a shiny golden one.
ADA
Yeah, and everybody says the Tooth Fairy comes when you’re sleeping. And she takes the tooth and leaves a gift. But...I don’t know.
IGGY
I heard she’s a mouse. Uck.
ROSIE
Huh. I haven’t heard that one. But even if she is a mouse, she’s still a fairy. Which means... delightful.
ADA
This brings me to why I called you over for this sleepover. If the Tooth Fairy exists, I wanna meet her. I have SO MANY questions.
ROSIE
Of course she exists, Ada. You’ve got to believe to see.
ADA
I’m a scientist. I need evidence.
So... there’s only one thing to do - meet the Tooth Fairy.
IGGY
But how can we meet her if she comes in the middle of the night?
ROSIE
Yeah, the Tooth Fairy is so sneaky. They have to get in and out of places without anyone seeing them.
IGGY
ROSIE
I really don’t think the Tooth Fairy is a mouse, Iggy.
ADA
We need to sneak in some ideas. In a brainstorm.
Ada jumps up with an idea.
ADA
I have an idea! We’ll ask a rooster to crow when the Tooth Fairy comes, so if we fall asleep, it’ll wake us up.
We hear
ROSIE
But I think roosters only work in the morning.
ADA
Oh, true. And by then the Tooth Fairy will already be gone.
ROSIE
We hear owls
ROSIE
They stay awake all night. Plus their heads can spin all the way around, so the tooth fairy won’t get past them.
IGGY
But I thought owls didn’t take orders from humans.
ROSIE
And it’s one of the few animal languages I can’t speak.
IGGY
I know! Big Ben is a clock tower in England with a super loud bell. Maybe we could borrow that to chime for us when she arrives.
Big Ben
ADA
But Big Ben could scare the Tooth Fairy away ‘cause it’s so loud.
IGGY/ROSIE
Hm. Good point./Yeah, I didn’t think of that.
ADA
But that gives me an idea. We could make something with bells, but more fairy-friendly than Big Ben to wake us up when the Tooth Fairy comes.
ROSIE
Tooth Fairies LOVE bells and chimes.
IGGY
Yes, yes, yes!
ADA
Let’s do it. Loading the lab.
The
ROSIE
Let’s see... according to my research, the Tooth Fairy is teeny, she love bells and chimes, and she use fairy dust to keep kids asleep.
ADA
I think we have some fairy precise calculations.
ROSIE
IGGY
I’ll draw a blueprint of the design.
We hear the sound of Iggy’s blueprint paper being unrolled, then
IGGY
Aaand... the design’s done!
ADA
Aww, it’s so tiny!
ROSIE
And you included a fan to stop the fairy dust. Genius!
IGGY
Yup. The fairy dust deflector.
ROSIE
Okay, so all we need to build it are bells, mint floss, old harp strings, wind chimes, and a fan.
ADA
Let’s get supplies!
They run around the lab, gathering supplies. We hear cabinets and drawers
ADA/IGGY/ROSIE
Got bells and a fan./Here come the chimes!/Floss and strings, incoming!
ROSIE
Let’s build it.
We hear
ROSIE
Voila! The Fairy Time Chime is built!
ADA/IGGY
It’s tiny./And chimey.
ADA
Let’s go test it in my room.
The lab
ROSIE
Okay. I’ll climb through the window and pretend to be the tooth fairy.
The window opening sets off a chain reaction of chimes (wind chimes, harp strings, bells).
ROSIE
(as the Tooth Fairy)
I am the Tooth Fairy and I’m magically flying through your window. Diddly-dee-diddly-doo.
ADA/IGGY
ROSIE
Oh what delightful bells. Diddly-doo-diddly-dee.
IGGY
But our fairy dust fan blows it away.
ROSIE
Oh dearie me. A fairy dust fan?
Ada pretends to wake up.
ADA
(exaggerated yawn)
ROSIE
ADA/IGGY/ROSIE
ADA
Looks like the Fairy Time Chime works.
ROSIE/IGGY
We hear the sound of
EXT. FOGGY DOCK - DUSK
Ada appears on a foggy dock. We hear the sounds of
ADA
Whoa, this dock is windy and foggy.
ROSIE
When’s the boat to Tooth Fairy Island coming?
IGGY
I hope I don’t get boat sick.
ADA
IGGY
We’re going to Tooth Fairy Island with you.
Just then, through the fog, we hear a
ROSIE
The ferry pulls into the dock and A TOOTH TROLL appears.
TOOTH TROLL
Tooth o’clock ferry traveling to Tooth Fairy Island. All aboard. Tooooth! Tooooth!
ROSIE
Woooow... the ferry’s captain is a tooth troll. Awesome!
Ada steps up to the troll.
ADA
Hello, um... Tooth Troll. I lost a tooth today.
The Troll sounds like a gravelly-voiced New Yorker.
TOOTH TROLL
Aww, well congratulations. S’pose you want to know who your Tooth Fairy is, uh? Let’s see here...checking my notes. Ah, it’s Delores.
IGGY
Wait...There’s more than one Tooth Fairy? Mind. Blown.
TOOTH TROLL
Sure. How do you think they get to all the kids around the world?
ADA/ROSIE
Makes sense!/Good point.
ROSIE
C’mon, Tooth Troll. Let’s get this show on the water! I have to prove to Ada that the Tooth Fairy’s real.
As they go to board the ferry, the Tooth Troll stops them.
TOOTH TROLL
Oh, she’s real all right. But you can’t go to Tooth Fairy Island without proving you’re up on your Tooth Fairy knowledge.
IGGY
A test? I didn’t study.
ADA
Don’t worry, Iggy. We’ve got this. So, what do we do Mr. Tooth Troll?
TOOTH TROLL
Answer one question and you can board. It’s harder than it seems. Most kids get tripped up on this one.
ADA/IGGY/ROSIE
Okay./I’m nervous./Let’s go!
TOOTH TROLL
Okay, fairy-testants. Playing for a chance to meet the Tooth Fairy.
IGGY
Oooh, I know this one. Is it... a mouse?
TOOTH TROLL
That is...correct!
TOOTH TROLL
Congratulations, you can take the Tooth Fairy Ferry to Tooth Fairy Island!
ADA/IGGY/ROSIE
YAY!/ Oh gosh, oh gosh, oh wow!/ Yee-haw!
IGGY
Wait, so she’s a mouse?
ADA
That’s true?
IGGY
I’m not sure I wanna meet her now.
TOOTH TROLL
Oh no, Delores isn’t. But the mousy tooth fairies that are, are delightful.
ROSIE
See? Told you.
IGGY
TOOTH TROLL
You’d better hurry if you wanna catch her before her nightly rounds.
ADA/IGGY/ROSIE
C’mon!/Let’s go!/Hurry hurry hurry!
The boat
TOOTH TROLL
Next stop, Tooth Fairy Island. All aboard. Tooooth! Tooooth!
The ferry takes off and as they ride we hear a
ADA
We’re here! And it’s almost nighttime. We’ve gotta hurry. Bye Tooth Troll.
TOOTH TROLL
Don’t forget to floss. Tooooth! Tooooth!
We hear their
ADA
Oh no! The Tooth Tower is locked!
We came all the way here. We can’t miss the Tooth Fairy. Maybe she’s not real and this is all a big trick.
ROSIE
Just wait. I have an idea.
Rosie pulls a couple chimes out of her pocket (leftover from building the Fairy Time chime).
ROSIE
Look! I have leftover chimes from building the Fairy Time Chime. I’ll engineer a portable chime. That’ll attract the Tooth Fairy for sure.
We hear the sounds of them MacGyver’ing a portable chime followed shortly by the
IGGY
Guys... it’s working!
ADA
IGGY
So, how’re we gonna find Ada’s?
Rosie steps forward.
ROSIE
IGGY
Oh, heh-heh. Guess that’s a good way to find her.
A Tooth Fairy flies forward. She’s high-pitched and quirky (think Kristen Chenoweth).
DELORES
Hellooo there, I’m Delores.
IGGY/ROSIE
ADA
Wow... you’re really real?!
DELORES
Well of course I am darling. As real as dewdrops on flower petals at daybreak.
ADA
I’m Ada--
DELORES
Twist. I’m on my way to see you tonight. But you’re here. Wait... why are you here? How? Did you get the question right?
ADA/IGGY/ROSIE
Yeah!
DELORES
ADA/IGGY/ROSIE
No problem./Sure./Totally Get it.
She takes out a fairy walkie talkie.
DELORES
Dispatch, this is Delores. Please strike Ada Twist off my list. The little darling and her friends are here!
(beat for Dispatch response)
I know. Isn’t it marvelous?
IGGY
Miss Tooth Fairy ma’am... I’m really happy you’re not a mouse.
ADA
Miss Delores, we’re so excited to meet you. Um, I have a lot of questions.
DELORES
Ask me whatever you like. I have a little time before my rounds.
They walk (and fly) and talk.
ADA
So, why do baby teeth fall out? Where does the new tooth come from? What happens to the old tooth when the Tooth Fairy takes it?
ROSIE
Why do you have to brush before bed?
IGGY
Is flossing really that important?
DELORES
I’ll tell you what, I will answer all your questions
Delores recites a POEM.
DELORES
Baby teeth, like little pearls
Fall from mouths of boys and girls
All those baby teeth have to go
So big grown-up teeth can grow
The tooth fairy takes the tooth and leaves a gift
There’s so many teeth, we work in shifts
We take teeth very seriously
They don’t just disappear mysteriously
Mouths have all kinds of teeth
They grow up top and underneath
Molars, canines, and incisors
Erupt from your gums like geysers
You have to brush them twice a day
If you don’t, they will decay
Food gets stuck when you take your little bites
Flossing gets ick between pearly whites
Now go to sleep there’ll be a present for you
Ada Twist, Scientist and her questioning crew
POEM ENDS.
DELORES
Now, I’ll take that tooth and get you home with a wave of my wand.
ADA
(sleepy)
Ada reaches into her pocket,
ADA
(amazed)
Whoa. Tooth-shaped fluffy cloud pillows.
DELORES
It was lovely to meet you. Off you go. Toodle-loo.
ADA/IGGY/ROSIE
(sleepy)
Bye Delores./Buh-bye./See ya.
Delores flies off as the sun sets and the moon rises.
ADA/IGGY/ROSIE
So soft and sparkly./Comfy./Smells like cotton candy--
They fall asleep.
DISSOLVE TO:
INT. ADA’S HOUSE/ADA’S BEDROOM - ALMOST DAWN
It’s still dark as Ada opens her eyes, still sleepy.
ADA
Did we miss the Tooth Fairy?
IGGY
Did she come?
ROSIE
Look under your pillow Ada.
Ada looks under her pillow.
ADA
The golden tooth sparkles in the light.
ROSIE
Maybe she did come. Do you believe she’s real now, Ada?
IGGY
I know I do.
ADA
Yeah, I think so.
Just then, we see Delores, tiny, just outside. With a wave of her wand, she waves fairy dust over the kids.
ROSIE
I don’t know if I’m really sleepy or--
ADA/IGGY
Me too./Me three.
ADA
Goodnight. Sleep tight.
The kids
FADE OUT. THE END.
