Letters
(Ratchet gets a simple silver chain. Nothing special about it, just a note: From your kitten)
My doctor . . .
Ratchet, Aisha has a lot to say to you, but like most things involving you I can’t find the right words. I want you to take care of yourself. I want you to not be so damn strict and fussy. I want you to stay exactly the way you are, just less of an ass. Way less. :P
Oh, and I want you to know that I love you. In the squishy, hearts in my eyes, embarrasses the fuck out me way. I know the deal, I know that you don’t feel the same way for me, and you’re lucky Aisha’s heart is full or I’d convince you to change that stance. I was an ambassador too, doctor. But I’m happy with what we have, so it’s not so bad loving you. Get yourself a girl or boyfriend, cause if I see you again and you’re still single I can’t guarantee I’ll keep my hands and feelings to myself. Fair warning, Ratchet.
Don’t forget about me? Please?

I’m not mad at you. I was, but . . . I’m not now. But I will be if you ever try to move out again! I will hunt you down! I will drag you back! Well, no . . . okay, someone will. But the fact is, we’re a family, so we have to stick together for life. That’s just how family works. Nakama, as Yusei would say. It’s Japanese, okay, don’t make that face.
I’m so proud of you, still. I might be the proudest of you, considering how badly Atia left you in the lurch and how brave you were despite that. A fucking trooper, through and through. Keep being that way, cause this isn’t going to be easy for anyone. I’m sorry I can’t cook for you guys any more, and I’m sorry that bitch never brought him back. Do you miss him, still? Cause Aisha does, I just can’t talk about stuff like that.
You’re my little brother, don’t forget, even though I’m older than you. And don’t dwell on me being gone, it’s not that big of a deal~
(Yusei and Dirk get the same thing: A pocketwatch, silver. Yusei’s is a bit shinier, Dirk’s looks more antique, but the only real difference between them is what’s engraved in them. Both these letters are really long, because she kept adding to them. But I am not writing all of that, so these would just be the ends of them.)
Don’t you dare go to the temple. Don’t you shut yourself up, don’t shipwreck, this isn’t the end of the world. I’m . . . I want to comfort you and I’m pissed I can’t do that anymore. I’m sorry, so fucking sorry you can’t even imagine. I love you, so fucking much you can’t even imagine, my shooting star. I always want to be closer to you, always want that bright smile on your face.
I hate this. There’s no way Aisha’s going to be able to convey her feelings in this letter. I have so many of them, about you. I think you’re amazing, I think you’re frustrating for not seeing that, for giving up on everything at times. I’m sorry for making you unhappy. And I think you’ll live, back at your home. You’ll live, and be happy, and I’ll find you because I love you and I’m not letting you go. You should let me go until then, though. Yes, I said it. Do not cling to my memory. You know I’m going to do everything I can to see you again, but you also know just how long that can take, might take. I, Aisha Clanclan, am giving up my claim of you until we meet again. It’s a very hard to thing to do, because you are a treasure with the most beautiful eyes I’ve even seen in my life. Okay, that was cheesy.
Take care of yourself. Please take care of yourself or I’ll kick your ass! You know I can, don’t kid yourself.
I’m glad we had that lunch. I will always be glad we had that lunch. Ai shiteru, nyah. Forever.

I remember when I moved in. I had pizza, and I was poor. And you were nice. You're still too damn nice.
The difference between now and then? Just one thing. Guess what it is~ But seriously, I can't imagine having better, for a first love or a last one. I still don't know what the hell Kia was thinking, but there's no accounting for taste even if that taste is silly. Still, you're amazing. And I adore you, and all those silly sappy things you like to laugh about. You stole my heart right from under me, you're my first love. And so I'll tell you like I told Yusei. Don't endanger yourself behind this. I'm letting you go, to a normal life with a normal girl or guy. Whatever suits your fancy. I want you to put me behind you, and I want you to know that's me being extra-nice and kind of stupid. But you're worth nice and stupid. You are worth every effort, every object, every bit of affection I give you, and even more.
I want something more romantic here, and sweet. I want to give you love songs and poems and stories. I want to tell you, that I will be your knight, your champion, and your protector. All that stuff, that I love the way your eyes shine when you look at your bike, and the warmth I feel when I look at you. But I'll save it for when I find you again, alright? Just don't lose yourself in the meantime, precious. Oh yeah, don't give up Lend a Hand to anyone. I've asked Zelda to help us out, but it means everything for me now. It's my new position of power! Oh, and the whole helping people thing, that too.
Love ya. Ich will immer mit dir zusammen sein.
(And Ral gets her bike, her helmet, and a first-aid kit, and her entire stash of booze (Read: Epic Amounts of Booze) and the outfit she wore to his underwear party.)
This is a motorcycle. It's not as awesome as flying, or being in space, but it's close. You've ridden with me before, you know. Be careful with it, and don't drink and drive, damn it! Wear the damn helmet! You know you stay in the hospital enough.
You're my best friend, and I love you. And I liked you, and I would have dated you, if you were the dating type. But we both know you love every single girl. It's okay, I get that now. Still, Aisha has to thank you for remembering her when she got here, and for being the best worst best friend I ever had. Your are my favorite Terran on the island, and that means a lot.
If I come back? And forget you? Punch me in the face as hard as you can, because Aisha will deserve it then. I'm going to see you again, and maybe by then you'll have Grad again. Can't wait to meet him too. Oh yeah, and I totally kicked your butt at that snowball fight, you shouldn't lie to yourself~
