//------------------------------// // 15-6-11 // Story: A Series of Letters // by Dashie04 //------------------------------// To my husband, Corn ‘Boot Camp’ Husk; Two can play at the nickname game Corny. I know you like your squadron and just about everyone else to call you ‘Boot Camp’. Apparently, I’m now known as Chrissy, let anyone who reads your letters know that it wasn’t my idea. I’ll gladly let you call me by that, though. I seem to notice that you didn’t use any song lyrics in your letter. I guess you were too interested in telling us about your attack, and rightfully so. Besides, there’s not really any songs I know at least that fit that bill. Just know, Corny, your admiration of Changelings is most likely going to get you fired. That or you’re going to get demoted, you probably already have. Given that the generals are noted to have went away to think out your punishment. As I was saying, you didn’t put any song lyrics in your letter. Let me one-up you on that. Am I the only one with a migraine? Well, the headaches aren’t that bad anymore. In fact, they’ve even become a dull buzzing in the back of my mind (no Changeling pun was intended), but the problem is that they’re constant. I’ve built up a tolerance to them, but they’re just constantly there. It’s very tough to think through the buzzing all the time. So, I read out your play-by-play of your battle with the Changelings to Jack and Sparky. They both seemed to enjoy it. For different reasons, but they both seem to enjoy it. Jack listened with mad respect on how you’re trying to keep some Changelings alive. He seems to have fallen to the curse, after we read those books, he seemed to get into Changelings just as much as you. He’d even stopped by Dame Moondancer’s place to chat with her about some of the interesting bits he found out about Changelings. They’e really good friends now from the looks of it. They share an affinity for purple Unicorns and Changelings it seems. Well, Moondancer is more interested in a lot of other things, but so is Jack when given the resources. He enjoyed it in respect. He seems to support the Changeling reform going forward. Sparky on the other hand started at me in awe. She’s still got that militaristic girl inside of her, ready to serve when she can. She can’t yet, but only because she isn’t old enough yet. Well, Sparky greatly enjoyed the story up until the point where you started rescuing Changelings. She ordered for me to stop and then asked with great curiosity why you didn’t just kill the Changelings. You know, as the orders asked you to. I had to give her the answer, she believed maybe half of it. She didn’t believe the Changelings had reformed variants. I ordered her to read the books I bought and talk to Jack about it. She listened, but only after a minor spat. She is dead-set on following orders to the letter. She’ll make a great soldier one day, she’s just got to apply and well, stay applied. She might even become like you someday. Speaking of which, Sparky’s birthday happened this week. It’s quite sad that you missed it. She turned 17! I can’t believe it. Jack’s 15, Sparky’s 17, they just seem to grow up so fast. I don’t know, can you believe it, Corny? It’s quite sad that you weren’t able to make it, but the party was decently fun. Her friends and her girlfriend was there. She invited them all. So, I hope you’ll be back for Jack’s party in 10 months or so. But seriously, if you aren’t back by then, we’e all going to be concerned. If we’re still here. I shouldn’t say I won’t be here for Jack’s party. That’s very negative, considering this headache is a light buzz, I’m sure it’s nothing serious. If I die, Corny, don’t have them put that on my gravestone. What an embarrassing epitaph. Regardless, I did eventually find your Bob Crossby record. It’s actually a record, and I have no clue where the turntable is. However, we have to have one, because you have almost every Beatles’ record. Even the singles. Corny, there’s a fine line between being a fan and being obsessed. Please reconsider your stance on The Beatles. Make sure you don’t buy another dozen Hey Jade/Revolution singles. I don’t eve; thing you have money, but you’d probably find a way. So, about the children. I’ve kind of talked a lot about them this week. Well, Jack is friends with Moondancer, and I’ve seen Sparky’s girlfriend. She’s a pegasus, just like Sparky. Light blue, seems to be a little more open about being Sparky’s girlfriend. She’s confirmed my suspicions. So, I’m not doing much of anything, school’s out, all the children are happy it’s out. I don’t have to teavh a history class for another couple months. I’m good. Your money’s still coming by mail, and I have attached yet more money to this letter for your use. I trust you know where to spend it after your excursion. If worst comes to worst just eat at the Hayburger. I’m surprised the generals haven’t found you out get, they seem awfully strict on when you can leave. My head constantly hurts, but otherwise I’m doing relatively well. I can’t wait for you to show those elite guards what for. I highly suggest against capturing them, since you seem to have some border and main guards in your camp. Besides, elite guards don’t have a mind link, so they are usually impossible to convert without getting the queen first. Knowing Chrysalis, that’s a slim chance. Also, there was nothing in the books about severing mind links killing the Changelings. They seem to have a period in which their brain needs to fix itself and start to work independently for a couple of days. For those couple of days, they’re essentially in a coma. They can still feed off emotions, as that’s how they work biologically, so don’t feel the need to feed them. I hope you give those elite guards what for. With all love and affection; Chrissy PS: Hope you find your place. See the attached money.
