But for right now, enjoy episode one of Ruby Tooth Fairy Detective and the case of the wishing tooth right after the break.
Agent Swiftwing, you gotta believe me.
I didn't make the tooth fairy disappear.
Multiple witnesses say they saw you holding the wishing tooth at the final critical moment.
You wished her away, didn't you?
What?
What?
No.
You need to let me out of this room.
I can find her.
I'm a detective.
Not anymore, you're not.
You are hereby stripped of your badge until you tell us everything.
The Tooth Fairy Intelligence Agency needs to know how you came to possess the most dangerous tooth ever created.
Commencing interview with the suspect.
Please state your name for the record.
This is ridiculous.
You know who I am.
The name's Ruby.
Ruby.
Ruby, Tooth Fairy Detective and the Case of the Wishing Tooth.
Episode 1, An Unexpected Partnership.
Okay, Ruby, start at the beginning.
It began like any other day on the job at TFBI.
Please state the full name of the organization for the record.
The Tooth Fairy Bureau of Investigation.
Cases of children's lost teeth were coming through the wisdom tooth wire, as usual.
And I was in the human world, tracking down a little girl's lost tooth at the beach.
While I was out, Captain Carl called into headquarters with an emergency.
A new case.
What would eventually become the biggest case of my career.
But he didn't call me first.
The best detective in the department.
He called Wren Applewood, a tech fairy. who'd never even been to the human world.
Hello?
TFBI, Ren Applewood speaking.
Ren, it's Captain Carl.
I've just received word of a developing situation.
A tooth has gone missing.
Captain Carl, wrong number.
This is Ren in the technology department.
Let me transfer you to the lost tooth division.
No!
Listen, Renz.
We may be facing the greatest crisis our world has seen and generated.
Crisis?
What?
You cut out.
I'm throwing you into the deep end, Renz.
I'm authorizing temporary clearance to make you a tooth fairy detective.
What?
Captain, no.
I don't have the training.
I can't go out there to the human world.
You can and you must.
You're the only one with the expertise in magical devices.
Detective Ruby?
But she's your best detective, the fastest flyer on the force.
Why would she want to work with a researcher like me?
Well, she won't.
But she's going to need you and your gadgets to solve this case.
It's time to test the new prototypes, Ren.
The fairy field communicator, the dead teleporter, and most importantly, the toothoscope.
Captain, no.
They're not ready.
I'm not ready.
It's not a suggestion, Ren.
It's an order.
The tooth that's gone missing is the most dangerous...
You're cutting out again.
So that's why it's so dangerous, you see?
Dangerous?
A tooth?
I need you and Ruby to meet me for a high-level briefing in my office as soon as I return.
Back up to dangerous.
I don't do dangerous.
I'm more of your safety kind of fairy.
How about I just consult from the cozy comfort of my desk?
I know you've always wanted to be a detective, Ren.
I still remember your application to the Academy all those years ago.
Yeah, and that didn't go so well.
Now is your moment.
Your second chance.
Don't let fear keep you small, Ren.
Don't inspire me like that, Captain.
Good.
I'm sending you Ruby's coordinates right now.
She's in the human world on a case.
Track her down, bring your devices with you, and show her what they can do.
I'm gonna throw up.
I'll call her and tell her you're on your way.
And that we're partners, right?
You'll break it to her?
Captain?
Captain?
Oh, no, I lost him.
What have I just agreed to?
All right, Ren.
You can do this.
Pack your devices, pack a snack and maybe Ruby will have found whatever dangerous tooth.
This is by the time you arrive and you'll be back safe and sound before dinner.
Let me check these coordinates.
Looks like Ruby's flying toward Oyster Beach near a boardwalk.
Guess my first visit to the human world is going to be some place called New Jersey.
Detective's log.
Ruby here.
I'm staked out on Oyster Beach, investigating the disappearance of Sally Johnson's lost tooth.
According to the evidence report from the Wisdom Tooth Wire, she lost it in the sand this morning.
Two local seagulls were spotted scrounging the area and might have picked it up.
I'm waiting for the perps to show their dirty feathers.
Hello?
Detective Ruby?
I'm almost there!
Huh?
Is that...
A ferry?
We can get to work just as soon as I reach the beach.
Whoa!
Wow!
Wind in the human world sure is wild, right?
Uh, you're going backwards!
Don't worry.
I have everything under control.
I read about this.
Wind is just fast-moving air controlled by the sun.
Ah!
I'm blowing in head over wing.
Look out!
Watch where you're going!
Ah!
Ow!
A whole stretch of beach and you landed on my head?
Sorry, the wind is way stronger than I expected.
Hard to land effectively.
Can you get off me, please?
Oh, so sorry.
Here, let me help you up.
So this is what the humans call beach, huh?
And it's supposed to be relaxing?
I have sand in my mouth.
And sand in my ears and sand in my pants.
It's okay, Ren.
It's just a tiny granular material made up of mineral particles.
Uh, what?
Sand.
It's surprisingly messy, isn't it?
It is if someone knocks you over in it face first.
Who are you?
I'm Ren.
Ren Applewood.
Is that supposed to mean something to me?
Captain Carl didn't call you?
He called, but I couldn't hear him, so I hung up.
So you don't know the news?
What news?
He was supposed to tell you.
Tell me what?
That I'm your new partner.
What?
You?
He said you wouldn't like it.
Oh, he did, did he?
And who in the name of the tooth fairy are you?
You could barely fly.
Uh, I'm Ren.
Ren Applewood, to be precise.
I'm a device specialist in the fairy technology department and, as of 30 minutes ago, a temporary detective.
Ha!
No such thing.
Look, I'm just following the captain's orders.
There's apparently a dangerous tooth on the loose and... Dangerous tooth?
If that's true, then the captain needs a trained professional he can trust to get the job done.
I work alone, and that's the way it's gonna stay.
That's them!
The two seagulls I'm looking for!
Gotta go.
How can you tell?
There are seagulls everywhere.
The evidence reports say they had black heads and red beaks.
Lacking gulls.
Besides, I'm a detective.
A real one.
I know my suspects when I see them.
I can help.
I don't need help.
Good luck flying back.
Not the first impression I was hoping for.
All right, you seagulls.
Party's over.
Stop!
TFBI!
Tooth Fairy Bureau of Investigation!
Whoops!
Flew so fast I got ahead of myself.
Where's my fairy field communicator?
Wait, Ruby!
You're still here?
I've got Laughing Goal language programmed into this new prototype of the FFC.
I said I don't need help.
My old FFC works just fine.
But this new one's more accurate.
And it can translate any animal language with just one keyword.
So you can understand them and they can understand you.
Allow me to demonstrate.
Activate Fairy to Fauna two-way translation mode.
Keyword, laughing gull.
Translation mode activated.
Laughing gull speech.
It's on.
Seagulls, can you understand me now?
Yeah, yeah, we hear you.
What's the deal?
What do you want?
This is prime pecking time, you know.
Detective Ruby, TFBI.
You're the FBI?
No, the TFBI.
The Tooth Fairy Bureau of Investigation.
You're the Tooth Fairy?
No, I'm a Tooth Fairy professional, not the Tooth Fairy.
She's the big boss.
Listen, I'm searching for... Well, what about this guy?
Is he the Tooth Fairy?
No, he's not the Tooth Fairy.
He's just a fairy who works for the Tooth Fairy.
I'm Ren Applewood, by the way.
Oh, Detective Ren, that is.
Temporary.
Nice to meet you.
Contrary to popular opinion, I actually love seagulls.
Don't be nice to them.
They're suspects.
Right.
I'll work on that.
Now listen here, seagulls.
A little girl named Sally lost her tooth on Oyster Beach this morning.
I have reason to believe that one of you has the tooth in your beak right at this very moment.
Oh, boy.
Here we go.
Targeted just because I like trash.
Story of my life.
Look, we was just scrounging up some refreshments from the beach.
That's what we do.
I'm going to need you to empty your beaks.
Look, fairy, we didn't pick up any teeth.
Open up and we'll see if you're telling the truth.
Yeah, quit stalling in.
Spit it out.
Spit it, seagull, spit it.
Spit it out or we'll rip your beaks off.
Whoa.
What was that?
You told me not to be nice.
Um, how should one talk to a suspect, just so I know?
I'll take notes.
You shouldn't talk to suspects at all.
Leave the talking to those of us who know what they're doing.
Are you two new on the job or something?
Yes.
Funny story, actually.
No!
Don't listen to him.
Now, empty your beaks, or I'll wing cuff both of you so fast your heads will spin.
No more laughing for you.
I see.
Appropriate threat with just a little edge.
Quiet.
Sorry.
Come on, toots.
Let's get this over with so the fairy police leave us alone.
Fine.
Oh, gross.
These are very hazardous working conditions.
Sand, wind, seagull spit.
Sure you want to be a detective?
Everything needs to be checked.
I could use the toothoscope to scan all this stuff so we don't have to touch it.
The toothoscope?
What's that?
It's a brand new device I invented.
It'll scan everything and tell us what all these disgusting objects really are.
Pizza crust, moldy.
French fry, wet.
Hot dog, slimy.
What did you call these?
Refreshments?
We're seagulls.
What do you expect?
Wait, what's this?
Ruby, I think I found the tooth.
Can you scan it with the toothoscope?
Scanning.
Pearl.
Irregular.
It's a pearl?
I could have sworn it was a tooth.
Some tooth detectives you are.
You don't know the difference between a tooth and a poil?
Give it to me, Ren.
No, it's definitely a pearl.
Wow, a poil!
Haven't seen a poil around here in a while.
We used to find them all over the beach, but lately the oyster farm has been picked dry.
Oyster farm?
See that jewelry store on the boardwalk?
It owns an oyster farm down the beach.
They used to get all kinds of poils from the oysters there, but not lately.
Word on the beaches, the poils have been disappearing.
Word on the beaches, some fairy like you's been taking them.
Like us?
What fairy?
What did they look like?
Like used to.
Fairies all look the same to us.
We do?
I don't think we do.
That's odd.
Why would a fairy be collecting pearls?
I need to get over to this pearl store and investigate.
Poils and Pendants Jewelry Store, right over there on the boardwalk.
Thanks, seagulls.
Gotta fly.
Thanks to Factor Meals for supporting the show.
Because The Big Fib is supported by Factor.
I thought it would be fun to play a short game of Factor Fib.
Okay, Factor Fib.
Peppers, peas, and corn are fruits.
That is a fact.
Peppers, peas and corn are botanically classified as fruits because they develop from a flower and contain seeds.
Funny enough, I ordered corn with my charred corn and shredded chicken cavatappi from Factor.

Detective's log.
I'm outside Pearl's and Pendant's jewelry store on the boardwalk.
Sign says closed for the season, so I should be able to sneak in.
Oh, some tech fairy is following me.
I'll see if I can lose him.
Why do you want to go inside the jewelry store, Ruby?
Not that I need to explain myself to you, but if you thought a pearl was a tooth, a human from the jewelry store might have thought a tooth was a pearl and picked it up by mistake.
Interesting theories.
There is a precedent for that kind of mix-up.
It's not for nothing that the humans call them pearly whites.
That's what I've read anyway.
Dental Digest, I'm a subscriber.
I'll squeeze under the door, take a look inside.
No need.
Try my new Denteliporter.
It's a magical device that can teleport into any human building within a short range.
Hey, that's cool.
How do I work it?
Just hold it like you are and press the button that says teleport.
Will it teleport both of us?
Just whoever's touching it when the button's pressed.
Great.
Thanks.
Bye.
Hey, wait.
Ouch.
That device shocked me.
An inside pearls and pendants jewelry store.
I'm looking for any strange pearls that could be Sally's tooth.
Hey, Ruby!
Not cool!
You left me outside!
Nothing out of the ordinary so far.
Hey!
Look behind you!
Oh!
There's an unusual-looking necklace on the jeweler's workbench.
But there's something weird inside one of the pendants.
Ruby!
Is that it?
Is it a tooth?
That's not a tooth.
It's a very strange pearl.
How can I check for sure?
Oh, Ren's new toothoscope thingy.
That would definitely work.
Where is it?
Oh, no.
I left it outside with Ren.
Looking for something?
A toothoscope?
This toothoscope?
Yes.
Teleport out, and I'll let you use it.
But I'll hold it this time.
Fine.
I'm coming out.
Stand by.
Here, grab on.
My teeth are tingling.
Do I still have teeth?
That thing hurts.
It's a prototype.
I'm still working on it.
Now, don't try that little dintelliporter ditch trick again.
What kind of partner does that?
The kind who doesn't have a partner.
I work for myself.
We are not a thing.
I told you I'm following orders and taking huge life-threatening risks just by being here.
I'm trying to help.
And I told you I don't need... Oh, just put your foot on the necklace and pull.
Okay.
I'll try and wrench it out.
Let's try together.
Ready?
This looks like a tooth to me.
I'll scan it.
Baby tooth, cuspid.
Sally Johnson, age seven.
It is Sally's tooth.
Nice work, Ruby.
I knew it.
I had a feeling about this place.
What was that noise?
Maybe it's the shop rat.
Or worse, the shop cat.
We should get out of here.
I need to get this tooth under Sally's pillow for the tooth fairy to pick up.
Where's that denteliporter?
I'm not letting you leave me in the jewelry store.
I've got the denteliporter, so I'm coming with you.
This is Sally's house right here.
The one with the yellow roof.
I'll teleport in and put the tooth under her pillow.
Ruby, wait.
I've got three text messages from Carl and an audio message.
Report back to headquarters ASAP stat as in right now.
It's Captain Carl.
How do I get it to stop recording?
Sally's tooth can't be the one he called me about.
He used the word crisis.
What kind of crisis is caused by a child's baby tooth?
The only crisis I see is you and the captain thinking we're going to be partners.
I'm not doing it, so there.
Crisis averted.
Now, let me do my job.
There's Sally in her bedroom.
Here, tooth fairy.
I lost my tooth.
Careful.
Don't let her see you.
Tooth fairies are forbidden to talk to or be seen by human children who still have their baby teeth.
The number one rule at TFBI.
I know the rules.
Even if I don't agree with them.
Mom!
Okay, she's leaving.
Now's my chance.
I'm in.
I'll fly over to the bed and put the tooth under Sally's pillow.
Don't touch anything.
Wow.
I've never been inside a human child's room before.
Look at all her gadgets.
I just lit up a screen.
Don't touch anything, I said.
I didn't.
I just looked at it.
It says, face not recognized.
Dental recognition is way more secure than just a face.
Don't they know that?
Shh.
Stop talking.
What's that?
Rotten teeth?
It's a cat!
Oh no, not a cat.
Quick, let's get out of here before it spots us.
Too late!
It's coming straight for us!
This is literally my worst nightmare.
Fly!
Fly!
Fly!
We need to get to the window to teleport out of here.
I haven't put the tooth under the pillow yet.
Turn on the FFC and reason with him.
I don't want to hear what he has to say, Ruby.
He probably wants two fairies for lunch.
Well, do something.
Make yourself useful and distract him.
Uh, okay.
Maybe some human tech can help us out.
What's this globe device on Sally's shelf?
A roogala?
Ooh, it's lighting up.
Hi there.
Oh, it must be voice activated.
Okay, you got the cat's attention.
Keep going.
He's coming for you.
I'll fly to the bed.
Arugula, help.
What can I help with?
Cat.
Did you say cat?
Yes, I said cat.
Okay, here's what I found out about cat.
Cats are skilled hunters.
Not what I need.
The cat's climbing up the shelf.
Are you finished yet, Ruby?
Just lifting this corner of the pillow.
Okay.
Bend your knees.
Human pillows are huge.
Don't put your back out.
I need more time.
Keep playing around with the thing.
Okay, um, arugula.
Distract cat.
Sorry, I didn't get that.
Was that play the song Distract Cat?
No, how do I distract a cat?
Get a great name for your cat at cutecatnames.com.
Do you want to try it?
No!
How do humans survive here with this primitive tech?
Very underpowered.
Whoa!
Got it!
The tooth has been deposited!
Merciful molars!
Meet me at the window.
I've got the teleporter.
Quick!
Grab my hand!
Yeah!
Got it!
Whoa!
Whoa!
That was too close.
Look, there's Sally.
My tooth.
It's near under my pillow.
I found it.
Case closed.
Now you go back to your desk and I'll go back to being a detective.
Alone.
Just the way I like it.
It's Captain Carl.
I'll put it on speaker.
Detective Ruby here.
Yes, yes, Captain, I know.
I just deposited Sally's tooth under her pillow.
It's done.
Ruby, this isn't about something as simple as a child's missing tooth.
The most powerful and dangerous tooth in the whole world has been stolen.
Queen Nefertiti's wishing tooth.
You two must work together to recover it before it's too late.
The fate of the fairy world and the fate of the entire human world depends on...
