Cosmo,
I hope you’re able to find this, and that it hasn’t fallen out of your locker or anything like that. Do you think you could meet me outside the diner you work at later today? Around five, if you can. There’s something I want to tell you.
I’ve been thinking about it for a really long time now, and it’s taken me a while to finally come to terms with it. I’m not sure why. I’m not scared of it. I guess I’m just a little anxious of what might come from it. But I’m tired of lying and telling myself that I’ve been happy with how things have been over the past year. I’m tired of pretending things are fine.
That sounded bad; I’m sorry. You haven’t done anything wrong if that’s what you’re thinking. Far from it, actually. Someone else has though, and I guess I just need to get it off my chest. But don’t worry. I’m going to confront him about it later. And hopefully he takes I well. I can’t imagine he would, but I... Well, that’s sort of off topic, isn’t it? I need to stop rambling before I lose sight of what I want to tell you, or before I flat out state it here on paper.
I’d rather tell you in person. I think that would make it more personal. It doesn’t feel right to say what I want to tell you on paper and not to your face. Because I have a question for you, for later today, if I have the chance to ask it, and I’d rather be there with you when you come to your answer.
You have no idea how much you mean to me as a friend.
See you later tonight,
Wanda F.

Wanda!!
Sorry. I’ve never written one of these before. I don’t know if I’m doing it right. But sometimes I think I’m better at writing than I am with speaking. I get to think more when I write my thoughts down, but when I have to say it out loud I just kinda say it. Does that make sense?
I know I could just call you, but its sorta late, and Mama might hear me if I do. Plus, you’re probably getting ready for bed. And I want to say what I feel and not mess it up. So, writing it is, I guess. And hopefully I remember which locker to put this in tomorrow. Which, I probably will because it’s you we’re talking about!
Sometimes it’s a little hard for me to sleep when I can’t stop thinking, and I thought maybe if I wrote it all down it might help a little. Mama says talking about stuff usually makes you stop thinking so much about it. I don’t really wanna stop thinking about it, but I also really want to fall asleep before midnight. So I guess I ought to try.
I know I already told you this yesterday and the day before that, but I love you so much. Actually, I think I’ve told you every day since you first said you loved me last Friday. But all the times I’ve said it, it hasn’t felt like I’ve said it right.
I love you a lot, and a lot of times it just feels like I’m floating when I’m with you. That sounds silly, I know, because we’re always floating. We’re fairies. But. It’s like a metaphorical floating, I think. (That was a big, fancy word. I had to look up a word to explain what I was feeling better, and that came up. So, whatever it means, I hope it got the idea across to you!) I feel sorta lighter than usual when I’m with you, but in a good way! Life gets a little more bearable when you’re with me. Kinda like a dream.
Maybe that’s what it is. Maybe I’m having trouble sleeping because I’m already dreaming! I don’t think you can fall asleep if you’re already sleeping. And if I am, then I hope I never wake up! I can’t imagine a life without you in it. Because you’re so perfect, and sweet, and I love you too much for that.
I’ve never really felt needed before, but you make me feel that way. Like I finally have a purpose, or something. My heart gets all fast and a lot of times you take my breath away, but it’s like… a good thing. I don’t know why. Those usually aren’t good things. Usually a fast heart or being winded makes me feel bad, but you make it feel better. I guess it’s ‘cause it’s you. You always do stuff like that– make good things out of bad ones. I don’t even think you can do any wrong.
Thank you for loving me,
Cosmo C.

Hi Sweetie,
Reading your letter in class. Hopefully Mr. Bigwells doesn’t notice. I don’t want him to take it from me. We’re not really learning much of anything that I don’t already know of, just some stuff about alchemy; nothing too interesting.
You’re adorable. You know that, right? You don’t have to thank me for being in love with you; I’ll love you regardless.
It does feel like we’re floating when we’re together, and not in the normal fairy way. (BTW, yes, you did use ‘metaphorical’ right! I got what you meant.) I feel so free when we get to see each other. Sometimes I feel like you’ve saved me from falling off a cliff I hardly noticed was there. Because you’ve reminded me how to float. I didn’t realize I was weighed down before we met, but your sweet smile just proved me otherwise. You’ve always been so sweet to me. I only wish I would’ve noticed that sooner. ILY!
Sorry to end this so abruptly. Teacher is staring at me now.
I love you,
Wanda

A shared sheet of paper passed between Cosmo and Wanda during class:
- Mr. Bigwells sure knows how to make a lesson boring! How are you even managing to pay attention, Lambchop? --C. Cosma
- Lambchop? That's cute. :) Where'd you come up with that one? --W. Fairywinkle
- My favourite food, and you're my favourite person! They make me happy, just like you do. I thought it was fitting! --C. Cosma
- Haha. You're adorable... Puddin' :) --W. Fairywinkle
- Pudding? I’m honoured! But you still haven’t answered my question, missy! --C. Cosma
- Guess I just really like learning about wing anatomy, I suppose. lol --W. Fairywinkle

Lambchop! Hi,
You think I should wear ties more often? But they’re soooooo itchy! I don’t even remember how to tie one. Mama taught me for that fancy, formal thing at school last week, but I forgot. Or, well, she didn’t really teach me anything. I didn’t pay attention. She tied it for me. Maybe you should teach me, then I could probably remember how to do it. :)
Love you,
Cosmo

Hey, Puddin’,
I can’t wait for prom come the end of the month. I went out with Jayde and some other friends yesterday and bought a new dress for it. I think you’d like it. It’s yellow, strapless, and goes down to the floor. Kind of form-fitting. Oh! And it also has a layer of lace (in the shape of vines!) around the waist and up the front. I think it’s really pretty. Going to wear my mother’s old earrings with it– the ones she left for me before she died. Just need to buy a new pair of shoes, and then the outfit is done! Can’t wait to see what you wear. I know you’ll look really cute (like you always do).
Looking forward to our date tomorrow, too, by the way.
Mwah,
Wanda

Hi, Snookie!
So, I’ve learned studying is really boring! Okay, maybe I already knew that. But! It’s more boring than I remember it being. I really wanna graduate with you this year so we can go to the Fairy Academy together, though, so I guess it’s worth the headache. Just for this once.
Your tutoring has really been helping me! I think I might really have a chance to graduate this time. I’ve never really understood a lot of anything before. Mostly I’ve just fallen asleep on my books instead of actually taking anything in. But since you started helping me last year, I think I’ve learned a lot! I can actually focus on stuff now. Sometimes.
My grades have been a lot better, too! I’ve never made an ‘A’ before, but I did last week! I was really proud of that. So was Mama. And I know you were, too.
I’m using your studying tips you taught me. Like this one! The one where you write down all your random thoughts when you get too distracted from your work. It’s helping, I think!
(PS. Don’t mind the little scribble on the corner of the page. I drew a monkey! Or it was supposed to be one anyway. You can name it if you want!)
GTG! Studying awaits (ugh),

Hi, Cosmo!
Daddy’s not very happy with the idea of me going off to university. Definitely not after being told I’m going to become a fairy godparent. I mean, he’s never really been supportive of the whole idea. He thinks it's beneath us as fairies to grant wishes for humans. I just don’t think he understands it. Plus, it’s not his decision to make. It’s mine.
I’ve always wanted to become a godmother. You already know that, though. I’m positive my mother would be supportive of my dreams if she were still here. If anything, she’d be telling me to pursue them faster. Especially if she knew you’d be there with me. :)
I think it’s really cool we had the same idea for careers! It’s like its fate or something, lol.
Daddy’s calling me down for breakfast, so I gotta make this quick. I just wanted to say thank you for always being there for me. You’re so sweet, and I love you a lot.
Can’t wait to see you tonight,
Wanda

Hey, Lambchop!
Just got finished moving all my stuff into my new apartment. Haven’t really taken anything out of boxes yet. Too tired right now. I hope you’re settling in better than I am! I’ll visit you later when my knees stop hurting.
Weird how we both got put in the same building but on different floors! That makes it so much easier to visit you now. You can have the spare key, BTW. Visit anytime you want, even if you think I’m asleep. I won’t mind. :P
Kinda getting sleepy though, so I’ll magic this over to you and crash.

Haha, hi Cosmo!
I’m getting settled in just fine. :) I’ve been decorating the kitchen portion of my apartment for the past hour now, trying to get it to look cozy. I can show you when you come over tonight. The living area is kind of a work in progress though. I can help you unpack, too, if you’d like!
Yeah! Funny to think that the only thing separating us now is just two flights of stairs. It feels like we can finally breath now without our parents ridiculing us over something as small as just looking at each other. I’ll definitely come visit you, only if you promise to visit me all the same. My spare key is yours to have, too. I was going to give it you to anyway, aha. We think so much alike sometimes!
Have a good nap, Sweetie,

Hey, Lambchop,
Writing you this while in class. Gonna keep it short though ‘cause I gotta pay extra attention to this lesson today. Test at the end of the week. And since we’re in our final year, I wanna make sure I pass it! Just writing to you so I don’t forget what I wanted to ask.
You think we can go somewhere together later this week? When we’re visiting home for the holiday? I’ve got a surprise for you if so!
Love,
Cosmo

Cosmo!
I hope you know I haven’t stopped smiling since you proposed the other night. I’ve been dreaming of that moment for the longest time now, you have no idea. And to have finally experienced it, it was like a dream come true. I love you so much, Cosmo. Words aren’t enough to express that. I’ll spend the rest of my life making sure you know just how much I adore you; you have my word on that.
Just… Thank you for loving me. I really do think you saved me. Even if you don’t realize it, you saved me. I felt like I was drowning before we met, and somehow you seemed like the only person I knew who understood how to swim. You brought me to the surface. You taught me how to breathe clean air again. There’s no one else I’d rather spend forever with.
You’re my forever.
Yours truly,
Wanda

Hi, Wanda,
I can’t believe we’ve graduated already! Or, well, I a hundred precent believe it when I say you’ve graduated. But me? Wow, that’s shocking! I never thought that would happen for me.
Ever since I was little, I’ve always been told I would never be able to do it. By, like, everyone. Even mama sometimes. No one ever wanted to believe in me. But you did! You believed in me. And look where we are now! Maybe we’ll even be able to afford a house soon. Like, a real house. Not just an apartment a few streets down from a busy university. You think we could live somewhere quiet? In a small town, maybe?
Oh! And since we’ve graduated, I guess that means the wedding is soon? Can’t wait for it! We should probably start planning more of it soon, though.
Love,
Cosmo

Hey, Puddin’,
I’m having trouble sleeping tonight. I guess I’m just excited. It feels like we’ve been waiting for this forever, but I think the wait has been worth it. Tomorrow morning we’ll be married!
I know we’re spending the night apart tonight to keep the bad luck at bay, but I just can’t stop thinking about you. I’ve been reading over my vows, too, and I think I’ve got them memorized by heart now. I don’t think I’ll ever forget them. Haha, maybe we should frame both of ours and keep them as decoration or something. That would be cute.
There’s so much I want to say right now, so many words swarming in my head, but I suppose I should save the poetics for the big day tomorrow, huh.
Tomorrow I’ll be yours, just like I’ve always been,
Wanda

Hey, Lambchop!
One year married to you, and seven years with you! How did I ever get to be so lucky? I think I fall in love with you more and more every day. You’re just that loveable.
You’re asleep while I’m writing this. Or I at least think you are. You’re asleep unless you’re only pretending to be asleep. Then you wouldn’t actually be asleep. But that’s beside the point!
Your eyes are really pretty, but you’ve heard me say that like a thousand (probably more!) times before. But do you know why they’re pretty? Your eyes shine no matter if there’s light nearby or not. They’re like liquid glitter. It’s so easy to get lost in them. I think I could stare into them forever if you’d let me. Sometimes I feel like you keep the stars in your eyes, because they just shine that brightly, and you know how much I love the stars. My favourite colour is the exact same pink that your eyes are. I don’t think that’ll ever change.
I bought you something last night while we were out shopping. You were buying that dress you really wanted, and I told you I needed to excuse myself to the restroom for a while. That’s not where I went; sorry for lying, but I’m sure you don’t mind. I went to the jewelry store and bought you a necklace for today! It’s in the box placed under this letter, should be anyway.
You fill my heart,
Cosmo

Hey, Sweetiepie!
I’ve been thinking about what you said a few days ago, and I think it would be fun to give themes to our anniversaries, too! I think it would add a nice flair to them and keep them from getting monotonous (that word means ‘boring’ if you don’t have a means of looking it up right now!).
Should we list out some ideas, or should we keep them a surprise until the respected anniversary date gets here? I’m thinking this year you should be the one to pick the theme, seeing as you thought of the idea first.
Love you bunches,
Wanda

Hey, Snookie,
You’re asleep as I’m writing this, but I guess I ought to keep the tradition of writing you letters early in the morning while you’re asleep on our anniversaries. Cupid’s probably got a whole lot planned for today, seeing as he only comes down from his throne for special occasions– like today. But I have more stuff planned for the time before he’s got his party stuff set up.
Happy ten thousandth, Lambchop! I hope we spend many, many, many more together.
Life has been a rollercoaster of both bad and good for the both of us, but I think just having you by my side has made it the most well-spent it could ever be, and I think it’ll stay that way for... well, forever. I really don’t believe there is a life without you; I don’t think I’ve ever thought that. If I have one purpose in life, it’s just being there for you to make you smile. Because I love your smile. And the way your nose crinkles when you do it. The way your eyes sparkle. I love everything about you.
Not to mention us getting to watch our son grow up and become a successful painter. I never thought I’d see the day where we would even be able to have kids. I never imagined our gods would be kind enough to lift the ban. But it happened, and I’ll never forget how happy that made you. Nothing in life makes me happier than you, and seeing you happy is enough to lift my spirits.
We truly are two halves of a whole idiot (and I take up more than half of the idiot. You’re too smart for idiocy!) We complete each other as the moon completes the night sky. Soulmates, because pink and green belong together.
And I’ll love you even beyond eternity.
Happy anniversary, Wanda,
Cosmo
