I don't own Tuck Everlasting or any of its characters! Please Review!
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
In my fic, Winnie is NOT dead. She is living in Kilston - miles away from Jesse.
Dearest Winnie,
I found out from a friend of mine that your family has moved to Kilston. I am very sad that I will not see you, for I miss you terribly. How many years have gone past since we last met? I do not know because days seem like years to me, after I drank from the spring. How old are you now? What's life like in Kilston? Life is absolutely boring, nothing exciting happening, how about you?
I must tell you, if you reply you'd make me ever so happy. Ma has been in such a bad mood lately I've got to have some cheering up - and you're the only one that can do it.
As always, missing you.
Jesse Tuck.
A few months later, the Tuck family was sitting down eating lunch, as they've done from over one hundred years. Suddenly a letter came through the letter box.
" I'll get the mail," Miles said as he leaped across the room.
" Bet it'll be some ol' junk mail as always!" Angus said.
" Hey Jesse! There's a letter here for you!" Miles said. Angus, Mae and Jesse looked shocked.
" Who could it possibly be?" Mae said motioning Jesse to open it. Jesse opened it carefully. There was silence.
" WINNIE!" Jesse yelled suddenly, " she replied my letter!"
"That's great Jesse!" Mae said rubbing his shoulder, " I guess we'll leave you be while you read." Mae, Angus and Jesse al went out of the room. Jesse read the letter.
Dear Jesse,
I have missed you so much here in Kilston. I am so happy you wrote you cannot imagine!
I am eighteen years of age. I think my face still looks the same though I think I have put on a bit of weight. I'll enclose a picture of me. Life here is quite fun. I have finished school and I am going to become a teacher in the day school here when I'm a bit older. Any chance of you coming out here?
I have made some friends here but I do miss you a lot Jesse, when will we next see each other?
Please reply,
Love always,
Winnie Foster.
