Chapter Text
My Grumpy Edgy,
If you ever find this, I doubt I will be here to hide this from you again. But trust me I wish I could stay by your side! Forever and ever. Sometimes life just isn’t as easy as we want it to be. There are going to be times when you miss me, and there are going to be times when you hate me, too. But trust me it’s fine! I am so happy that you were here for me, that you helped make my lasts few days a little brighter. Please, please don’t forget how amazing you are and how you and Curly made a dying girl so happy! I love you and I will love you forever. Please don’t think of me and cry. Smile because of the things that happened. To me, to you, to us! It was beautiful while it lasted and that’s what matters the most.
I am sure that one day we will somehow meet again.
Love,
Your Human
My Dearest Curly!
I don’t even know how to tell you how much I adore you! You are one of the most amazing little creatures that this planet has seen and you should never ever forget that. Be happy, don't ever lose your smile! And take care of that silly grumpy skeleton of ours! I hope that when we see each other again, you will be the same. Because you are sure perfect this way! Just be yourself, smile and make others smile!
Sweetheart, I included a number at the end of this letter. When you are ready, call it! I am sure that it will help – and I sure hope that you will not just overlook it. There are other people who need you two. Little people that need a smile turned upside down, like mine was.
And I know you will help them.
Love you until the end and more,
Mama
And that was how Edgy had found his new purpose. With the help of Curly who called the number (he was convinced the skeleton would mess up or be too rude) and their one and only human.
It was difficult. Not the type of job or hobby that got easier as time passed. Crowds were coming and going and familiar faces often blended into one.
But it gave them the reason to fight.
Ill children often had no one. With their parents working long hours to afford the hospital, the surgeries... Many many days they were so lonely.
And that was where they came in.
Companions – were what the new bittie friends of the hospital called themselves. They were often there just to play with the little ones or soothe them. Curly was amazing with babies – they trusted him and his gentle voice, his soft touch. Edgy was the favorite of many little boys who wanted to be as tough as he showed himself to be. And then there were the others. Orphaned bitties joined from all around the world to help..
Many years passed like that. One morning, Edgy woke to the strangest feeling of happiness in his chest. Almost as if joy just seeped back into his boned...
And he knew it : she was out there somewhere, waiting for him.
And he was ready to run into her arms.
Only, he didn’t expect her to be so... young!
The End
