SPACE: MY CAKE! JONATHAN STOLE IT! GET BACK HERE!

ME: Jonathan?

ALL: YIIEE!

AALIYAH: WAAAZZZUUUP?!

SELENE: *sweat drop*

AALIYAH: I missed me… Hey author, I thought I was gonna die… Why didn't you?

ME: Not my fault. It's Sis'!

SIS: Wha—?!

SPACE: Author doesn't own Tegami Bachi/Letter Bee

SELENE: She does own some OC's and the story plot is hers. K?


CHAPTER 1: NEWS AFTER A DELIVERY

[ZAZIE'S POV]

"She needs you right now! She needs you Zazie! Selene needs you!" she shouted. "... More than me…"she added.

"But…" I muttered. "But…" then I saw her slowly vanishing in the dark. "AALIYAH!"

A smile. "Please Zazie. Protect my sister. Whatever happens. Protect her. Protect her. Please."

"Protect her from who?!" I asked. She was slowly, slowly vanishing. I don't know how, but she was.

"Protect her from—"

"ZAAAZIE!" Lag shouted.

"Wha-?! Huh?"

"You were staring into space…Zazie-SENPAI." Selene said, emphasizing the 'senpai.' She changed ever since her sister… no… she's not yet dead. She changed ever since her sister got lost. She puts on a more cheerful façade, hiding the fact that she misses her sister.

"What?!" I frowned.

"We're heading to Honey Waters for our next delivery."

"Yeah. Right." I was deep in thought… because of my dream… Aaliyah… Is it real? Because what she said… what she said was…

"Protect her from ME."


[SELENE'S POV]

On my way to the next delivery, I sighed looking out the train. I was thinking about sister again. It has been a year since she… disappeared. Yes, there is still hope in my heart that sister is still alive. I mean, her body hasn't been found right? So it's possible that she's still alive right? Even though Zazie said that using black magic in her body to revive him means she's … dead. NO! Of course not! Aaliyah's NOT dead! She's alive! I know it! I sighed again.

"What's the problem, Selene-chan?" Lag asked. I'm with him this delivery.

"Nothing." I faked a smile at him.

"Don't tell me it's nothing. On the way, you sighed nearly a hundred times. What is it?" But I didn't pay attention to him. At the corner of my eye, I saw a person back turned on me, with green hair, same height as Aaliyah would have been. Could it be…?

"SISTER?!" I ran to the girl, gripping her arm, making her face me. It wasn't Aaliyah.

"G-gomenasai! I-I didn't mean to…"

"It's okay." The girl said softly.

"Baka. Do you really think…" I forgot to mention Zazie's with us too. I gave him the go-ahead-and-continue-and-you'll-be-dead look.

"Don't call her that. It's not gentlemanly, you know." The girl with the green hair said to Zazie. She said to me, "I'm Hanako Verde by the way." She smiled again.

"I'm Lag. Lag Seeing." Lag answered.

"My name's Selene Cross." I responded.

"Zazie Shrine." He said simply.

She went and shook each of our hands.

"So… where are you all going?"

"We're all Bees…" I said.

"…and we're to deliver letters to Honey Waters" Lag continued.

"And I'm Lag's dingo!" Niche added.

"Ah! That's my town!"

"For real?" The conversation continued, but I noticed something. Zazie was quiet. Very quiet. It was very unusual. He usually teases someone, but now…

"We're here!" Hanako announced.

What we saw was a village, with water sprouts, here and there.

"This place was called Honey Waters because of the water itself—sweet like honey, but smooth like water." Oh, so that's why.

"So, Lag, where is the address again?" I looked at Lag as he scanned through the back of the letter.

"431 Sherbet Street, Honey Waters." Lag replied looking weird, "I can't even pronounce it right." I looked at Lag in disbelief and to Zazie who was still quiet. Seriously, this isn't like him. He would be teasing me right now. I'm not used to the NEW Zazie, I still prefer the OLD one. Anyways, I can't see Hanako anywhere, it seems like she already left.

What. The. Heck?

"Selene? SELENE?!" Lag waved his hand back and forth. I grabbed it and walked towards East until he suddenly stopped me.

"Uh Selene, the address is to the West. You're going the wrong way."

"Oh, I knew that…" I spoke and left together with Lag and Zazie. We finally reached the address and saw a light blue, 2-storey house filled with plants and flowers. Lag knocked on the door and came outside Hanako.

"EH? You live here?" Lag shouted.

"Haha, what a coincidence! Would you like to come in? I'll go get my Mom." Hanako opened the door for us until Lag spoke, "No thanks! Uh, we're on a hurry so, here's your letter." Hanako reached out for the letter and wrote her signature. Once we're done, Lag, Zazie, and I left the village, went to get a carriage and left.

"Bye Hanako!" I shouted, waving back at her, "We'll see each other again!"

"Take care!" she shouted back until all I can see is her small, pinkish hat and it disappeared on the horizon. I sat back, next to Lag while I looked at Zazie, who was quiet. I can't stand it so I sat right next to Zazie and asked him,

"Did you eat something weird to make you quieter all of a sudden?"

"Eh?" he exclaimed.

"Ugh, what I mean is; what happened to you? You should be teasing Lag and me right now but you're just shutting your mouth up." I asked once more, a simplified detail. He looked at the window, his glare avoiding me. JUST WHAT IS HIS PROBLEM? I waited a few more moments until he looked back at me and said,

"So you want me to tease you, eh?" Scary. I saw Lag giggling on one side and gave him a death glare in which he immediately stopped.

"Of c-course not!" I stuttered back. He smirked and gave me a familiar look. The same look he gave me during our play which Aaliyah organized and I still really hated that!

"Just kidding. You look pale all of a sudden; maybe you're the one who ate something weird." Wow, that insult just backfired.

"Tell me already! I know something's bothering you, does it concern Aaliyah-nee-chan?" Once I asked, Zazie's face became shocked and pale. I knew it! I KNEW IT!

"Nothing. We're here… Wake Lag up." Zazie said, leaving first with Wasiolka. That's the time I noticed that our dingos were inside the carriage and they didn't knew that we left for the delivery. I walked towards Lag and woke him up, telling him that we're already at the Bee Hive. Lag went down together with Niche and Steak while I carried Alee up and placed her on my head. Lag and I went down and saw Zazie just outside the Bee Hive, looking impatient.

"Selene, Largo wants us in the Office now." Zazie said then left. Lag said that he'll be in Sylvette's house together with Niche and Steak and I waved bye at him as Alee woke up.

"What? The delivery's done already?" Alee asked.

"Yup. You fell asleep during the delivery and I didn't want to disturb your sleep." I replied back, catching my breath. We were just outside the Director's Office and I fixed my hair and uniform before I enter. I opened the doors and saw Zazie, Wasiolka, Largo-san, and Aria-san.

"Selene, we all think that history is repeating itself…"


ME: And we're done! That was an idiotic cliff-hanger.

ZAZIE: And who wrote this chapter again?

ME: I did. But—

SIS: I was just wondering… Is love that powerful?

SPACE: YEEES! Love is a powerful thing.

ME: Love can make us strong, but it can also make us weak.

SIS: And that were the quotes for today. :)))

ME&SPACE: Shut up.

SIS: And who are you to order me about?

AALIYAH: Now girls, girls, don't fight.

ZAZIE: If Aaliyah's going to be the peace maker, we all better say goodbye. Because I feel something bad about to—

AALIYAH: *punches Zazie's head*

ZAZIE: OWWW!

SELENE: *panics* I'm gonna say goodbye now before everybody fights and this chat becomes long. BYE!

ALL: BYE!

SIS: I am NOT a maid of yours.

ZAZIE: WHAT WAS THAT FOR, WHINER?!
