Turning Back Clocks

Similarities between Starry Skies and any canon/fanon work are either coincidental or intentional. The concepts that will be presented in this book are products of my experience and imagination. I hope you won't steal any of the ideas I've built up for so long now, and I hope you won't accuse me of copying anything/anyone nor will you compare my work with anyone else's (canon/fanon). Thank you.

Dearest friends,

It's been quite a while, hasn't it? I miss you girls so much, and I know nothing can ever change that. Oh my stars, this already sounds beyond awkward, not to mention dramatic. I feel like starting over, but then again, that's just how I am—wanting to turn back the clocks every time something goes wrong. Does the sentence "Turn back the clocks." ring a bell? Well, if it doesn't, then maybe some time in the future, it will... but it's probably best if it never did.

Anyways, I only have one parchment today, so I can't exactly do anything about restarting. What I can do is hope you don't mind the sentimental beginning as much as I do. To be honest, I still don't know how to make this less awkward than it already is, but please know when I say I miss having you around, I mean it from the bottom of my heart. I'm willing to prove it, so I'll say it over and over again until it's imprinted into your memories, okay? Here goes the second one: I miss you so much!

You know, this is the first special letter I'm writing. Can you believe it? I'm finally writing for something other than formal purposes! Feel free to consider me a five-star rebel. Just kidding! You have no idea how long it took me to get the materials I needed to reach out to you. Father and Mother will be furious if they find out I'm not resting, so I have to keep a low profile. Don't worry, working on the letter won't take too much of my time and health; it's not like it hurts to pick up a quill and scribble on parchment.

There are other things I prefer to be worried about, including my letter. Still, I'm not even sure this letter will get to you, so I'm left with my imaginations. If you find it, will you read it? After you read it, will you throw it? Once you throw it, will you forget me? It's okay. Whatever happens to this letter I'm writing, I mean. In the end, the world must go on with or without me, and so must you. We can't always be on the same side of the story, and I'm trying my best to accept that.

Funny. Seems like I got sentimental again. All because of you girls. See? This is what you've done to me; you made me care about you so much it hurts, and yet I can never stop caring about any of you. Truth be told, I don't know why I love and what made me love this much, or maybe I can't put together the right words to explain it because I have countless answers. No matter how long it takes for me to explain and for us to reunite, I know the stars will lead me to you. Or at least, that's what my heart wants to believe...

Loving you to the stars and back,
Rie
