Author's Note: Hi guys! There is a magic button at the end of this page. Do you know what it does? By simply typing a few words into it, YOU have the power to make me the happiest girl in the world. So show me some review love! Now onto the REAL part of this. I felt the Andy Griffith Show didn't give Ellie a proper send off, and since she is my favorite character (fun fact: I based my PotC O.C., Vanessa Swann partly on her) so hopefully you fans out there will like it! :) (Its written as a series of letters).
Dear Andy,
I have to go. I'm moving to Raleigh. I'm so sorry things couldn't work out but we weren't meant to be. Please just let me go and find yourself some other girl.
Love, Ellie
Dear Ellie,
Well Eleanor, what a surprise. I'm sending letters all the way to Raleigh! How's it up there in the big city? Enough hustle & bustle for ya? Opie's been asking about you. He doesn't know yet.
Andy Taylor, Sheriff of Mayberry
Dear Andy,
How is it back there. You have to understand, Mayberry wasn't letting me grow, its an old town set on its ways. I hope Uncle Fred, Ben, Opie, Aunt Bee, & you are doing well.
Ellie, Somebody Important Somewhere
Dear Ms. Ellie,
Its me, Opie. I just learned how to write! I miss you an awful lot. Please come back to us!
Opie Taylor, Sheriff's Son
Dear Eleanor,
I have something important to tell you. Aunt Bee is married. She is married to that Senator who decided to stop running & settle down. Ope misses you, I miss you. We're dying from lack of female accompaniment!
Andy
Dear Andy,
My goodness, I had no idea those two were sweet on each other! How time flies. I've spent almost 3 years in Raleigh now. Barney is down here with me, my pharmacy 'Ellie's' its called, is across from his building.
Ellie, OWNER OF A PHARMACY!
Dear Eleanor,
I have to tell you something you're not going to like. I'm married. Yep, you heard me right, married. Helen (I don't believe you've met her) and I finally decided to tie the knot. Because of female jealousy issues, I can no longer keep communications with you.
Your friend & married man, Andy Taylor.
Dear Andy,
Goodbye, darling. I will always love you.
Ellie
