“I don’t get it. We were so happy together. Why the sudden change of heart?”

“I don’t know. I’m so sorry. I hope you two can work things out. You two are such a cute couple. I couldn’t stand to see you two apart.”

“Yeah. I have to write back. Excuse me.”

Soon, he was ready to mail the letter, but Anna told him that it was time for her to leave. He had to leave the letter in his room and say goodbye to Anna and his aunt.

“Oh *Gasp* Mother, I forgot something inside. Will you wait for me?” Anna said

“Yes. Hurry up.”

She went to Endymion’s room. She got her purse with her stuff in there. Before she left, she took one last look at the letter lying on the table. She left.

“Okay, let’s go mother.”

“Are you ready?”

“Yup.”

“Okay. Goodbye Crystal” Anna’s mother said to Endymion’s mother.

“Goodbye.” Endymion’s mother replied.

“Goodbye Endymion.”

“Goodbye.”

“Hope things work out for you two.”

“Me too.” They gave each other a friendly hug. Anna and her mother had left.

Later that night, Endymion had a hard time getting to sleep. He couldn’t stop thinking about Selenity’s letter.

“Why would she want to break up with me? I don’t understand. And where did she get the idea that long distance relationships didn’t work out? That’s ridiculous.” He kept saying that to himself.

Meanwhile, Anna had a great time getting to sleep.

“My plan is working! I am so brilliant! I can’t believe he fell for that fake letter.” She pulled out the letter that Selenity and Endymion had originally written. “Now they’ll be separated forever. This plan is the greatest one ever. Actually, it’s the only plan I’ve made, but anyway, it’s still the greatest. I can’t wait to see the expression on Selenity’s face tomorrow. That sad little face of hers will appear instantly, like magic.” she said jokingly. “Anna. You are so smart.” she said to herself before drifting off to sleep.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The next morning, Endymion sent the letter. He was thinking about her a lot after he mailed the letter. He had high hopes that Selenity would realize how silly she’s being and that they can stay together. He couldn’t stop thinking about her. Everything reminded him of Selenity.

“How could she say that long distance relationships don’t work? And why does she want to break up with me? Everything was fine until now.” Tears stared filling his eyes. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. He quickly wiped away the tears that were about to leave his eyes.

“Endymion, it’s time for breakfast.” his mother said.

“In a minute.” he replied. He fixed himself up so no one would know he was about to cry. He couldn’t understand why she suddenly wanted to break up. He was hoping that Selenity would realize how silly she was being.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

That afternoon, Anna decided to see how Selenity was doing. Actually, she wanted to see how she would react to the letter “Endymion” had sent.

“Mother, I’m leaving. I’m going to see Selenity. I’ll be back home by dinner.”

“All right. Don’t be late.”

“Bye.”

She took off. Finally, she got to Selenity’s place. She rang the doorbell. Queen Serenity answered the door.

“Anna? What are you doing here?” the Queen asked.

“Oh, it’s a very nice day and I decided I should come over and spend time with you and Selenity. But right now, I want to see how Selenity’s doing.”

“Of course. Come in. Would you like something to eat or drink?”

“No thank you. Not right now.”

She went to Selenity’s room immediately. She knocked on the door very lightly. Selenity didn’t hear the knock. Anna listened very carefully to see what she was doing in her room. She heard whimpers and sniffing. She was crying! She knew it. Anna knocked on the door again, this time, with more force.

“Selenity? Are you in there?”

Selenity got up from the bed and wiped her tears away as fast as she could.

“Yes, I’m here.” Selenity opened the door, and when she did, she saw Selenity’s eyes. They were red and puffy.

“Selenity? What happened? Were you crying?” Anna asked.

“Yeah.”

“What happened?”

“This.” Selenity said, giving Anna the letter.

It said:

Dear Selenity,

I received your letter. I enjoy having your company, but I think I want to stay away from you for a while. I guess seeing you is too much for me to handle. Crossing planets and seeing each other secretly is very risky. I can’t bear to see you hurt. I don’t want to say this to you, but I think we shouldn’t see each other anymore. I think we should break up. I don’t want to see you anymore. If we ever cross paths again, don’t talk to me because it will only bring back painful memories. I wouldn’t be able to forgive you for bringing back painful memories. So stay away from me.

From,
Endymion

“Selenity, I’m so sorry.”

She cried more and more.

“I can’t believe it’s over. I can’t believe it.” Selenity said with tears flowing heavily down her cheeks. “ It’s not true. This can’t be happening. I love him. He loves me. This can’t be true. It must be a mistake or something.”

“Selenity. That’s enough. Just try to calm down.”

“Calm down? You expect me to calm down when I just lost the one I love the most? Who are you to tell me to calm down. You don’t even know what I’m going through.”

“Selenity. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to upset you, I...”

“Shut up. Just get out. I don’t want to see anybody. I don’t want to see you, my mother, anyone. Just leave me alone.” she demanded.

“Selenity. Acting this way is not good for you.”

“You’re not my doctor. Don’t you tell me what’s good for me and what’s not! GET OUT NOW! AND LEAVE ME ALONE!!!”

Anna left the room, kind of surprised. But then again, she wasn’t surprised she acted this way. She heard Selenity crying her heart out after she left. She went downstairs and saw Queen Serenity in the hallway. She remembered saying that she would spend time with her too. She went down the staircase and greeted her.

“Hello Queen Serenity.”

“Hello Anna. How are you doing?”

“Just fine.”

“Would you like something to eat or drink?”

“Yes please.”

“Is there anything in particular you want?”

“Yes. Some spring water and salad with Italian dressing.”

“Coming right up. Take a seat.”

“Thank you.”

They sat down and ate, chatting about miscellaneous subjects. Soon, it was time for Anna to leave.

“Well Queen Serenity, thank you for the lovely lunch. I enjoyed it a lot, but I must be leaving now. Tell Selenity that I said good bye to her.”

“Of course, I’ll do so.”

When the front door finally closed, Anna burst out in laughter.

“Oh Selenity, you are gullible. I can’t believe you fell for that letter! How could you get so upset over a stupid letter. And sorry Queen Serenity. You’re gullible too. It’s no wonder Selenity is so gullible.” She gave another burst of laughter.
