Note: I meant to post this a long while back and forgot. Just a small little piece to sort of conclude it more.
It had taken over two hours for her to get it right. It couldn't be too big or too small, it needed to be special. Once it was finished Rachel smiled down at her work. It had just the right amount of colorful glitter to make it sparkle without distracting from the shapes she had carefully cut out. Rachel carefully folded it up and slid it into the envelope along with a small note. Hopefully she'd love it.

Lucy was laying on her couch with her sore foot propped up on some pillows, flipping through the channels on her television, when she heard someone stomping up her front steps. She muted the TV and carefully sat up, reaching for her crutches and waiting for the knock, but it never came. Instead she heard her mail flap open and close and by the time she got to the door the person had gone.
Looking down she saw a small white envelope with her name written on it. Strange. She never got mail, she's 10. Carefully bending down she grabbed the envelope before hobbling back to the couch. She peered at it for a moment before opening the flap as gently as she could. She found that it was almost impossible not to tear the envelope and realized this must be why her daddy used a tool when he was going through the mail. Once it was finally open Lucy smiled to herself and pulled out a very sparkly folded piece of paper. Her smile widened when she saw what it was.
A snowflake. It was so beautiful and perfect and… special.
After admiring it for a bit Lucy folded it back up and was going to put it back in the envelope for safe keeping when she noticed a small note inside.
I owe you a real special snowflake. I'll get it for you one day. ~Rachel Berry *
Lucy traced her finger over the star smiling to herself, she's finally got a friend.
Note: I hope you liked it.
