Epilogue
"Meyer, you have mail!"
"Who would write me?" Alex inquired as Luke tossed him a note.
"Alex Rider- he wrote Fisher too, but not me. Can I have his address? I want to blackmail him."
"No blackmailing, Farrior." Alex rolled his eyes.
"Fine- I'll get annoyed with him. Is that okay?"
"After I read the note."
"Good. Fisher!" Luke yelled, soon taking off. Alex grinned to himself. That kid never changed. He grabbed the note, opened the envelope messily (the only way to do it) and took out a typed note.
Meyer,
I'm back home now- and Sabina is with me. We've been talking a lot- and I've been talking a lot- and I've been taking your advice. I'll probably be asking her out soon. A month's been enough time to wait.
I apologize for not writing sooner- haven't had the time. New York was awesome, of course. I haven't been on any missions yet- and I'm not complaining. I've been able to do what I want- and it's thanks to you- so thanks.
I hope that you had a good summer. You never told me your exact birthday, but you told me that it was sometime in August, so happy nineteenth. I know that long distance mail is cheesy, but I really don't care. I've kind of wanted a pen pal, so make sure that you tell me what's going on over there. (I'm writing Carson too- make sure that he writes me back.)
I'll let you know if anything over here changes, but for now, life is good. Thanks for contributing to it.
Later,
Alex (Rider)
P.S. Tell Farrior that I haven't forgotten about him. If he has anything to say to me, tell him to write- and that he's absolutely not allowed to blackmail me. Do tell me when the wedding is- I might decide to come and make fun of him. Good times.
"Farrior, Rider told you that you can't blackmail him! When's the wedding going to be?"
"Ange and I haven't talked about it, but probably in two years after we've finished college⦠why?"
"Rider might be coming over then."
"He's more than welcome. Are you going to write him back?"
"Of course⦠Farrior?"
"Yeah?"
"How did he get our address?"
Luke's eyes widened, and then a smirk came to his face as he pointed to himself. Alex rolled his eyes. Some things never changed- but at least this summer had brought him a new friend- a friend that was so like and so different from him at the same time in the summer that he would call the summer when Alex met Alex.
(A/N: Okay, so not the best note/fanfic, but I enjoyed writing it and that's all that matters. It correlates to Solid Ground on my fictionpress... but anyway, hope that this was a good story. L8r. JSM)
