The Penpal
jeynebryan:
After almost a week of projectile vomiting, and extreme bouts of crying, Jeyne was glad when whatever had been wrong with Lia passed. She was still paler than usual, and she did not have the same amount of energy she did before.Dear MayBelle, I think a quilt would be a wonderful idea. It may sound strange, but Lia’s true passion is things for her bed, including pillows, blankets, stuffed animals. She has so much stuff on it, you can hardly see the bed. It’s really funny. She’s not quite back to herself yet, but sure was glad to get MayMay’s letter. She would like to know more about the apple trees.I would like to know about this Harper, and how she’s connected to the apple trees. Ginger had given us permission to go next month while she’s going to be working double shifts and such. (Have I told you that Ginger is a nurse?) Anyway, talk to your parents and see what they say.Oh, on another note, I saw your brother the other day in the castle. Why didn’t you mention he was in Narnia. Do you know that your brother has an uncanny resemblance to this man Peeta who’s in the army? It’s quite strange to look at. The only real difference is that Peeta is blond.Anyway, let me know what you’re parents say so I can talk to my bosses (it seems strange to call them that….but that’s what they are.)Love, Jeyne and Lia
Finally, after days of begging and writing one essay as to why Jeyne should come, MayBelle's parents finally said yes. And MayBelle couldn't wait to tell Jeyne.
Dear Jeyne,
OH MY ASLAN YOU WON'T BELIEVE IT! THEY SAID YES! THEY ACTUALLY SAID YES! YOU AND LIA CAN COME! AND SAHRINA, IF YOU WANT HER TO COME TOO!! I'm so glad a quilt will be a wonderful idea, because I've already started working on it! I hope she likes it! Harper, well, she's kind of a sprite. But she's really nice! I came across her one day in the woods..... I suppose I strayed too far from the castle.... She told me it wasn't safe. She took me back to the castle though! It was weird.... She even made me feel calm... The apple trees don't have much to do with Harper. She kind of help make a couple of them grow though! Which was super nice of her. I actually didn't know my brother was going to Narnia! Leslie must have dragged him randomly one day. She does that a lot. Takes off on her boat. She loves that thing, so much. I swear, if it could talk..... It would have so many stories! (Jesse told me about Peeta once, but I've never met him or seen him! I find it difficult to picture someone looking exactly like my brother but blonde.... A picture would help. Maybe Jesse will take a picture with him one day for me?) I'm so glad to hear Lia is (for the most part) better! I hope she gets her color and energy back soon! Poor little thing..... Maybe hearing she gets to meet her MayMay will perk her up!
Love, MayBelle
