Chapter 10: Epilogue: Letters

Yumi and Aelita sobbed. They were sitting in a circle, talking about their latest adventure and filling Odd and Ulrich in on the mission. Yumi leaned on Ulrich's shoulder and suddenly looked to the side. "Look at this! I never saw this before," she exclaimed.

"It's a manila folder, Yumi. How interesting," Jeremie said, his voice layered with sarcasm. Yumi opened it swiftly and nearly screamed.

"What is it, Yumi?" Aelita asked, concerned.

"It... letters...Fianna..." Yumi babbled.

"Do you need a doctor?" Odd wondered.

"No, it has letters to all of us from Fianna!" Yumi shrieked. She passed them out silently.

"Should we read them aloud?" Ulrich asked.

"I guess. If you want to keep parts private, you can," Yumi said wearily. "Jeremie, do you want to go first?"

"Sure," he said quietly and began.

Jeremie,

Be glad to have Aelita with you. She may be clueless at times, but that's only because she's new to Earth. Don't even think of restoring Lyoko. I would still be in a battle with X.A.N.A., and that's not on my top ten ways to wake up. Say hi to everyone for me.

Fianna

"I'll go," Odd volunteered.

Odd,

Find yourself a girlfriend. You'll need one after seeing all the mush between Yumi and Ulrich and Jeremie and Aelita. The four blushed, and Odd smirked. You two can blackmail them together. Stay the happy–go–lucky person you are. You'll find a girl, someday. Just keeping playing jokes, and someone might strangle you someday.

Fianna

"I'll go," Ulrich said and began reading his letter.

Ulrich,

Hey, don't blame yourself for what happened. You were possessed by X.A.N.A. It wasn't of your own doing. You couldn't help it, so don't berate yourself about it. Just remember that. Also remember that no matter what, Yumi loves you. (He didn't care to tell the others that.)

Fianna

"I will go," Aelita smiled.

Aelita,

I'm so sorry I won't be able to help you get used to Earth. Jeremie can help you with that, though. I will miss you a lot, and will never forget you guys. Aelita, just promise me you will never forget Lyoko. Ever.

Fianna

"I guess it's my turn," Yumi smiled shakily.

Yumi,

Well, I guess it's good–bye. Just don't try and always remember me. Go on with your life and always look forward in life. Remember, Ulrich loves you. (She didn't say that aloud.) Just don't berate yourself for letting me sacrifice myself. I took an oath to help Lyoko, even if it meant losing my life. I mean, I saved the world before, why not now? Tell everyone I said good–bye.

Fianna

Yumi and Aelita leaned on each other for comfort. Odd, Ulrich, and Jeremie looked close to crying themselves.

"Well, at least she left the way she wanted to," Aelita sighed.

"What do you mean, Aelita?" Yumi asked quietly.

"Well, she saved the world as she died. She wanted to leave, her death somehow helping the world to be a better place…" Aelita drifted off.

The five walked out of the factory into the bright sunlight that was hope, shining clear and bright.

Voila! It's finished! After a bunch of work, it is finally over!!! I think I will write a sequel as well. Consider this as an Independence Day gift from me to you. Review!!!!!!
