Note: this is where things get trippy, if you couldnt tell by the title
It took Lucy a whole week to get used to the new leg. It felt so weird.
Even still, her feelings her just as broken.
So that day, she decided to visit her best friend since childhood, Maia
Maia had dyed blonde hair, brown eyes, and light brown skin
Lucy knocked on the door, waited a minute, and saw Maia
Lucy: hi Maia, um can we talk over coffee
Maia: sure Lucy, why not
Settling in, Lucy told Maia everything, since she knew Lucy was in the AVL
Maia: so um, do you have any leads on where Valerie
Lucy: no, it just happened out of nowhere like the snap of someone's fingers. I couldn't believe it
Maia: funny. Maybe she went into hiding
Lucy: no one does that, not even bad guys
Maia: what happened the day before
Lucy: well me and gru went to another part of the planet. We found this stone, gave it to Valerie
Maia: maybe the stone corrupted her
Lucy: maybe, but me and gru both touched it, and we weren't corrupted, and I have the same colored eyes as the stone
Maia chuckled at that
Lucy: I don't know what to do anymore, one of my daughters are gone, the headquarters got destroyed, I lost my leg. From a friend like you, what would you say
Maia: okay, my cousin knows a friend that writes letters to feelings.
Lucy: what
Maia: yeah, when he's feeling down he would write to them
Lucy: that doesn't make sense
Maia: well my cousin saids it works, so you might as well try it
Lucy gave her a confused look. I mean who would think of writing to feelings. Wait a minute
Lucy: alright, might as well.
Maia: wait these are the ones he writes to. Love, death, and time
Lucy: good to know
When Lucy got back, she tried to write a letter in the lab
A smudge of time later, gru came in
Gru: Lucy, what are you doing
Lucy: you know Maia right
Gru: yeah, she was at the wedding
Lucy: well, she said to write to feelings cause a friend of her does it for emotional support and it works for some reason
Gru got wide eyed. If he never knew Maia before hand, he would think Lucy was going nuts
Gru: Lucy, are you sure this would work
Lucy: maybe, maybe not
Gru: well, it's writing to feelings, I mean you have those in you
Lucy: technically it's only love, but there's also time and death which is the one I'm writing to.
Gru: alright, have fun
Lucy snickered.
When she finished the letter, she didn't know what to do with it, it was a letter to DEATH ITSELF. So she figured to do the only thing that there was to do. Sent it through a post.
3 days later
Lucy woke up with a smile on her face, but it was faint.
She got into her usual attire. And went downstairs.
When she got down, she saw gru making the girls toast, dru having coffee, and the girls playing around
Lucy took a seat next to dru
Agnes: who wants to go out on a walk today
Everyone looked at her, she definitely planned this. Right when Lucy came down stairs
Agnes: come on, I mean it's a sunny day outside, and we don't go out as much as we used to
The three adults kept turning heads to each other.
Lucy: sure Agnes, I'll go. Still need some leg practice
Agnes laughed
A few hours later, Agnes and Lucy were getting ready to walk
When Lucy got outside doing stretches, she noticed a woman looking at her
She was strangely pale, black eyes, and dark hair. Wearing a black trench coat and hat
Lucy was a bitted weirded out
Agnes: Lucy, who are you looking at
Lucy turned around
Lucy: I was looking at
The woman was gone
Lucy shrugged it off
Soon, it was just Lucy and Agnes walking through the park
Lucy: so, why did you really want to come here
Agnes: I just wanted too
Lucy: look, you don't have to be shy, just tell me
Agnes looked around, and sighed
Agnes: I just missed the old times, when you would take me, Margo, and sometimes Edith out on walks to the park. I had so much fun, I just missed those days
Lucy got down to Agnes size
Lucy: listen here, just because margo's gone. Doesn't mean we can't continue tradition. Now, who want too get a hot dog
When she finished her sentence, she saw the woman again.
Agnes: yeah, are you okay
Lucy: um, yeah, I'm fine. Let's go get a hot dog
After waiting in line for a few minutes, they sat down on a bench eating their hot dogs
Lucy: wow, I forgot how good these were
Agnes: I know, right. They're called the best in town for a reason
Lucy: yeah, how come they don't sell these else where
Agnes: I don't know, maybe it's because ahhhh
Lucy got wide eyed and turned her head to see the woman again
Lucy got up from the bench
Lucy: alright woman, that's it. If you're gonna follow us around like that, don't. Do you want something from us?
The lady gave her a piece of paper
Lucy unraveled it, and it was the note she wrote
She looked up
Lucy: no
Lady: yes, I'm death. Please to meet you
Lucy: no no no, Agnes come on
Agnes hopped off her seat and followed Lucy
Death: look I know I sound crazy, people write letters to the universe all the time. Only a few get a personal response, including you. I wasn't the cause of her death.
Lucy went into an alleyway to try to get away
Death: look It wasn't my choice to make the trade. It was my call
Lucy: look, I don't want this, I don't want this
Death: I'm not telling you to do your job, so you don't tell me to do mine
Agnes: Lucy, what's going on
Death: simple young child, she wrote a letter to me, I got the letter, and here we are
Agnes: why did you do that
Lucy: I'll explain later. Look how do I know you're not some crazy person that's mental
With that being said, death put her thumb on Lucy's forehead.
Lucy woke up on a fluffy cloud. She got up. And saw something she wished was real
Margo
Then, she was back. Same alleyway. Same person
Lucy: what did you do
Death: I killed you
Lucy: what
Death: for a moment, I stopped your heart. And you saw your little girl. Simple
Lucy: then why didn't you do it for Margo
Death: sometime i don't have a choice on who I can kill
Lucy froze for a moment. She literally died for a second. But it felt real
Lucy: Agnes, what happened
Lucy: well you fell down, and death grabbed on to you
Lucy: you lady, I don't what you want. But don't do that again. and, i want to know more about that thing that attacked us.
death: well, I didn't create the monster. it's always been there, even though i never wanted it to. I didn't have a choice. I dont choose what it kills. it decides what it does
lucy: what do you want
Death: well firstly, I came to give your letter back. And second, I recommend you talk to love and time. You don't have to do it right away
Lucy: okay, okay
Lucy grabbed Agnes and ran off
That night, Lucy and gru were relaxing in the kitchen
Lucy: gru, can I tell you something
Gru: yeah, sure
Lucy: I met death
Gru stopped what he was doing
Gru: what
Lucy: I know I sound crazy, but Agnes saw it to
Gru: alright, give me a piece of evidence
Lucy remembered she had no evidence
Lucy: well, remember when I said that I send the note
Gru: yeah
Lucy: well, I got it back
Gru: Lucy, you could've just written it again
Lucy: gru, you know me. I can never duplicate writing
Gru: okay, you know what, I'll let you pass now
Gru left the room. Leaving Lucy alone
She wondered who she would write to next. Then, she found out a true feeling she was mad at
Love
A few nights ago, I watched collateral beauty. Basically it's a movie where this broken man broken because of his dead daughter. His friends hire actors to play love, death, and time. Not a spoiler by the way, it happens in the first 20 minutes. I wondered what would it be like if they were the real deal
Bye
