~This story is fictional and has got nothing to do with the living or dead~

Once upon a time, there was a princess named Dentin. She was trapped in the last room of the highest tower of Tooth Land.

In a different part of Tooth Land, there lived a prince named Enamel. Prince Enamel who heard the tale of Princess Dentin, told his dad, the king, that he wants to save and marry Princess Dentin. The king allowed his brave, courageous son to go on this dangerous quest. Before he left, the king entrusted him with the sword of enamel rod. The prince then hopped onto his white beautiful stallion and rode into the horizon.

On his way, he met Pulp. Pulp was in distress, and was weeping his nerves out, literally. Enamel stopped and asked Pulp, 'What is the matter, my dear friend?', Pulp answered, 'My friend, Princess Dentin, is still stuck in the tower.' Enamel then said, 'do not worry, I am on my way to save her. Join me on my quest.' Pulp hopped on to the white, handsome stallion and rode into the horizon together with Prince Enamel.

They pass through many obstacles in their journey like the river of saliva, wall of gums and swamp of bad breath. Finally, they reached the last room of the highest tower.

Prince Enamel heard the princess singing a sad, haunting song filled with sorrow and pain. He used Pulp's nerves and blood vessels to make a rope and he climbed up that rope to the top of the tower. He called Princess Dentin from outside the window. 'Dentin, oh my dear Dentin, I have come to save you!' 'Oh my prince, I am so grateful you are here,' replied Dentin.

But.. there was a suspence, as Enamel has never met Dentin in person. So when Dentin popped her head out of that window, Enamel got the shock of his toothie life. He almost slipped down Pulp's rope when he saw Dentin's face. Dentin was as yellow as a banana and had black pits on her. However, after Enamel recovered from the shock, his noble heart told him to save and love her no matter what her appearance is. He brought her down the tower and took her back to the castle. Before that, they left Pulp back at his pulpy home.

The king was anticipating their return. When they arrived, the king fainted... You may ask why, but i'm sure you know the answer - Dentin. Enamel rushed to his father and ordered some saliva to be sprinkled on him. When the king was conscious again, Enamel asked, 'why father, why did you faint?' The king answered, 'What did you bring back son? I asked you to bring back a princess, not... a caries!' Enamel said, 'she is a princess dear father and I will marry her with black pits or not.' The king who always loved his son, agreed.

The marriage took place at the Oral Cavity Hall. The entire Tooth Land was there, microorganisms and bacteria.. All of them witnessed the lavish ceremony under the golden sun.

After saying their 'I do', Enamel and Dentin UNITE. A few minutes later, there was a bright dazzling light coming from the UNION. Enamel and Dentin became the whitest and shiniest tooth of Tooth Land. The reason is because Dentin's heart was as pure and white as a pearl. So, it shined through Enamel's semi translucent case.

A few years later, Enamel and Dentin were blessed with triplets, namely Incisor, Canine and Molar. Their lives were filled with oral joy and they lived happily ever after!

*THE END*
