First fic in over a year.....here it is! This is what I like to call my 'Math Class fic' as it is written during the most boring part of the day while my mind wanders...It is a series of letters between Rinoa and Ellone, talking about Squall and life and well anything they want to talk about. I figured that the actually snail-mail from Esthar to Balamb would take about a week, so each letter is written a week after each other....well, I don't think anymore explaining is necessary so I'll just get on with the story...

oh...and I don't own FFVIII but I do own these letters as historical documents :P

Dear Rinoa,

First of all, I would like to thank you for sharing Squall. he seems to be doing fine here and we're doing well catching up an all. It's just that I don't know how to apologize. I see now how much I hurt him. I can't find words to express how sorry I am.

He's with Uncle Laguna now, I suppose he's doing fine, I haven't heard any loud voices, or things breaking in a while. Uncle Laguna seems to put into words that which I can't. He loves Squall so much, and I do too.

I'm so glad he found you Rinoa, or was it you who had found him? I'm sorry for what I've done that put any burden on yourself. I see that you see Squall a little differently that I see him. He just seems so fragile in my mind. It pains me too look at him, knowing that it was I who had hurt him so. I apologize again for making you pick up the pieces of his broken heart.

Squall wishes to return to you soon. I wish you two the best of luck,

With love always,

Ellone Loire

Ellone,

Don't feel sorry! Everything is Just beautiful! You've no reason to upset yourself. Don't let Squall get you down. Cheer up Ellone! There's nothing to feel sorry about!

Just so you don't worry yourself sick, Squall made it back in one piece. He's no more talkative now than he was before your little chat though, sorry. Oh! Now I'm turning into you! You shouldn't have a guilty conscience Ellone, you did no wrong. Please don't blame yourself for Squall's social skills. And don't fret, I'm slowly working on him, today a few words, tomorrow a whole conversation! Oh it were only that simple!

But really, another SEED graduation ball is coming up for this year's students. I've talked to Headmaster Cid and he agrees that Squall should do a speech, being Commander and all. This speech could really help his formal addresses. Even though I'll probably end up writing it and prompting him.

Would you and Laguna like to come and join us at the ball? I'm sure you'll be welcomed.

Love,

Rinoa Heartily

Rinoa,

I'm sorry I feel guilty. I just want the best for him, but I feel so much better knowing he has you.

I wish you the best of luck in getting him to make that speech. Although it is such a wonderful idea, I doubt that it will work. I've tried coaching him in what to say to uncle Laguna but it doesn't seem to have worked.

Oh how I wish I could attend the ball, but business has set uncle Laguna and myself back a bit and we won't be able to attend. Write about how his speech goes, I would love to hear the results. If it works maybe you could teach me a thing or two.

Do you have any plans for after the ball? The summer months are upon us. I hear it will be very warm for your tiny island. Be sure to tell me in your next letter.

Love always,

Ellone
