Evelyn giggled, her toes tickling the fluffy clouds! She was soaring through the sky on a giant, soapy toothbrush! It smelled like strawberries and sunshine!
“Hold on tight, Evelyn!” Grandpa called from behind, his own toothbrush-cloud bouncing playfully.
Evelyn had just finished brushing her teeth – all sparkly clean! – when Grandpa surprised her. He’d found a magical map hidden in his book about pirates! It led to a secret land made entirely of… clouds!
They jumped onto the first fluffy white cloud they found (after making sure it was brushed nice and clean, of course!). Suddenly, the cloud began to fizz and bubble like a bathtub full of fun! It lifted them up, up, up into the bright blue sky!
Landing on a giant, marshmallow-like cloud, Evelyn spotted something amazing. A unicorn! It had a sparkling white coat, a golden mane that shimmered like the sun, and a horn that spiraled high into the air, tipped with a rainbow!
"Grandpa, look!" Evelyn pointed excitedly. "A unicorn!"
Grandpa, who still wore his pirate eye patch from earlier, squinted at the magnificent creature. "Shiver me timbers! You're right, Evelyn! But why is it so… droopy?"
The unicorn hung its head low, its rainbow horn drooping like a wilted flower. It let out a sad little whimper.
Evelyn, always the brave explorer, climbed off her toothbrush-cloud. "What’s wrong, Mr. Unicorn?" she asked softly.
The unicorn sighed a big, glittery sigh. "I can't seem to make my horn sparkle anymore," he mumbled. "It’s supposed to light up the sky with rainbows, but it’s all… dull."
Evelyn tilted her head, her brow furrowed in thought. "Did you brush it today?" she asked.
The unicorn looked surprised. "Brush my horn? Why, no! Unicorns don't brush their horns!"
Evelyn gasped. "But everything needs to be brushed! Just like my teeth! Come on, I'll show you!"
Evelyn climbed back onto her bubbly toothbrush-cloud and zoomed around the unicorn, pretending it was a giant tooth. “See, Mr. Unicorn? Back and forth, back and forth! It tickles a bit, but it makes everything shiny and bright!"
The unicorn, intrigued by Evelyn's enthusiasm, dipped its horn into a nearby cloud that looked suspiciously like a giant tube of toothpaste. It swirled its horn around and then, with a giggle, brushed its horn just like Evelyn showed him.
And then… something magical happened!
The unicorn's horn began to glow! First a soft pink, then a bright orange, then a sunny yellow, until the entire horn shimmered with all the colors of the rainbow! The colors swirled and danced across the sky, painting the clouds in a thousand beautiful shades!
Evelyn clapped her hands, her laughter echoing through the clouds. "You did it, Mr. Unicorn! Your horn is beautiful!"
The unicorn, beaming with pride, lowered his head to Evelyn. "Thank you, little one! You taught me a valuable lesson today! Brushing is important for everyone, even unicorns!"
Just then, Evelyn's toothbrush-cloud began to wobble. It was time to go home!
"Will we see you again, Mr. Unicorn?" Evelyn asked, a little sad to leave their new friend.
The unicorn winked, his horn shining brightly. "Of course! Just look for the rainbow in the sky after you brush your teeth!"
Evelyn and Grandpa hopped back onto their toothbrush-clouds and zoomed back down to earth, giggling all the way. From then on, whenever Evelyn brushed her teeth, she looked for the rainbow unicorn in the sky, and it always made her smile. And she never, ever forgot to brush, because even unicorns needed to keep their sparkle!
