Epilogue 1/3
Dear Santa,
"Wait, that doesn't sound right."
Dear Grinch,
"There, much better."
I'm writing you this letter because I think it's only fitting to be asking you instead of the old, jolly man.
You see, I'm still forty-five inches tall, which does not qualify me as an Elf height-wise yet.
I'm still a Munchkin, so who else would I write this letter to?
Because like you taught me: An Elf is to Santa what a Munchkin is to The Grinch.
"Come on, Sayuri. Your dress is here, we can't be late."
"In a minute, Mommy!"
Now you ask me, why am I writing this today of all days?
Well, since you gave Mommy that beautiful Princess ring, things are a little bit crazy. Aunty Ino is over all the time, and everybody is busy with some important task.
At least, I'm eating loads of cake. We settled for strawberry and white chocolate, just so you know. Not that you care for sweets. There will be tomato soup though, so I think that will balance things for you.
Mommy brought my dress now. So, I don't have much time before someone makes me leave this spot. If I don't write this now, I won't be able to do it later.
Well, tomorrow, you'll be taking Mommy to the moon made of honey. By the way, you must bring me a piece of that! I'm curious.
And next week, I'll be living with Mikoto and Mr. Fugaku – temporarily of course. Oh, and Itachi and Shisui are visiting too – they promised they'll help me with my holiday decorations! We have a lot to do, since we're spending Christmas at Nana Mikoto's castle this year.
I'll be super busy then; no free time whatsoever. This letter has to be ready before you and Mommy comes back from the moon, since it needs to be delivered before Christmas' Day. Because, how else would you consider my wish if the letter is late?
You see, what I'm about to ask, it is a job to be taken very seriously.
No, not a job. Because Mommy says that jobs can be terrible too, you know?
This is a Promise of a Lifetime. It's forever and ever and you cannot take it back once you give it to me, OKAY?
We are a family now and I wanted to ask if you could be officially my daddy. Only if you want, of course. But I really-really-really wanted to call you Daddy again (and no pretending anymore!).
Before you came to our apartment, that day that Mommy was bedridden, she told me that one day I would find my daddy. And now, I know that I truly did!
So, would you be my Daddy, Mr. Sasuke?
That's all I want for Christmas this year.
Uncle Naruto told me that once you're back from the moon, it's very possible that I'll become a Big Sister. So, you need to give me an answer by Christmas' Day. But, no pressure!
"Sayuri, sweetie, let's go! Sasuke is waiting for us."
Ok, now I really have to go, because I can't let my Grinch waiting for his Princesses, can I?
P.S: In a few minutes, I'm giving you my Mommy's hand, whatever that means, but you better take care of all of her (and me too)! After all, today the Princess becomes the Queen.
With all my love,
Your Munchkin s2
A/N: Hey there!
Yes, you read it correctly, this is part one of three. I decided to split the Epilogue in three scenes of three difference moments of their life moving forward.
I'm polishing part two now and I have a draft for part three. I'll be posting them as I finish each. Thanks for your patience! And I hope you enjoy it! :D
See you soon!
