Sis,

Not going to lie, this was one of the hardest letters to write. So forgive me if it's just a bunch of jumbled thoughts.

I still remember the first time I met you. Splashing and laughing in the water that super hot summer. Sure it was one of Atia's curses, but it was one of the best, because I got to meet you. Who'd have thought something so awesome could happen because of something she did, right? When life gives you lemons, you turn it into the best dang tasting lemonade on the planet, and that's how I feel about our meeting.

You were there for me when I was at some pretty low points. One that comes to mind was my first time being drunk. Thanks for taking me home and putting that bucket next to my bed. That was definitely not the best wake up to have. There is of course the fact that we've seen countless numbers of people sent home, I'd put us in the island veteran category for sure. Both of us have had friends and loved ones from home go back; on top of friends made while here. Heck, even you went home for a time (so maybe I'll be back too).

I don't want to dwell on the negatives though. Life is all about moving forward and growing. It's been a pleasure to see you grow, Hermione. Your confidence level in things besides your brain has been tremendous (not that there's anything wrong with how smart you are). I just didn't like seeing you have such a low opinion on your looks. As I've told you many times, you're a very lovely young lady, bushy hair and all. Besides being smart and beautiful; you're fun, loyal, caring, and one of a kind. I had a blast going around the floor with you at the dances we attended. I hope you keep showing off your stuff and keep improving. And keep on dancing for me, girl!

Moving on. Sorry to just dump Chloe on you. I just couldn't think of anyone better suited to take care of her. Having her around means you'll always have a piece of me with you. She's a swell girl, who likes to play and cuddle. I left you a check to pay for her supplies for at least a few months. Sorry I couldn't give you more.

I'm also sorry to say that I've got to close this letter, as I can't seem to stop crying while writing, and I don't want water spots to smudge anything.

As I named you an honorary Wildcat the first time we met, I have left you a precious keepsake of my high school days. It's a recording of the song Sharpay and I sand during our Junior year musical audition. I hope you play it and find it comforting in a time of need.

Stay strong and keep on being the shining star you are!

All the love from your most excellent bro,
Ryan

Big Bro,

You'll have to forgive me if this letter goes all over the place, but it's one I never thought I'd have to write.

We've known each other for three years, man. Can you believe that? That's a long time to make a list of memories. Memories I unfortunately won't remember once I'm back home. I guess I get the reason why we aren't allowed to keep our memories, but that doesn't mean it sucks any less.

From my first day on Atia to visiting you, Summer, and Grace, I think most of our meetings were positive ones. Thanks for being there for me when Atia sent my sister, close friends from home, and Katniss back to their proper places. Though Katniss did come back, but without her memories, so once again, thanks for being there for me.

I honestly think you and Summer are going to be there for each other for a long time. The two of you have such a bond that if Atia messes with it, I think the balance of the island would shift, and doom would come down on that witch's head. Sure she might try to pull some tricks again, like taking one of you away, but I think that bond keeps you linked and you won't be apart for long.

For all the help and support you gave to productions at the Opera House, my employees and I thank you. All those sets built and moved by your generous hands, all the spots in the paper for ads for shows, and many more things, thank you. I know you gave up personal time to do a lot of those things, but that's just the kind of guy you are. A guy that's willing to sacrifice for his friends.

Speaking of sacrifices, I've told you this a billion times, but thanks again for what you did as a Marine. If it hadn't been for you and your fellow soldiers, we'd probably be a very different nation. I salute you, sir.

Okay, let's get to something a bit more lighthearted. Thanks for letting me be part of a momentous occasion in your life. I am of course talking about your marriage to your wonderful wife, Summer. How many people can say they've stood in and sang for two of their dearest friends? Probably not that many. The dancing, the food, the decorations, all the smiling faces, and the happy couple; everything was perfect. Almost as perfect as the new life you brought into the world. I wrote to Summer, but I'm telling you too, make sure Grace knows her Uncle Ryan loves her. I hope there is a chance I will get to come back and see her again.

I know there are so many things I haven't put in this letter, but I think you'll do a pretty good job remembering all the things we did.

You will always and forever be my big brother.

From the best little brother in the world, stay safe and continue to be true to yourself.

All the best,
Ryan

Bro,

Looks like it's my turn to get sent home. If you're lucky, I might come back, just like you did. If I don't, then you can go give Atia a piece of your mind (please don't do this, who knows what she'd do to you).

What can I say that I haven't already said? First off, thanks for finding me worthy enough to be with Katniss. It made me feel like those dudes that have to impress a girl's older brother and promise not to do anything to hurt her, or else get hurt in return. I was very happy with her; and I'm even more glad I was able to make such a wonderful friend through her. 

I hope that if I do come back, you're still around. After finding out what's in store for you at home, I want you to be here even if I don't come back. I know Atia isn't the best place to be some times, but it's better than the alternative.

Promise me that you'll continue throwing killer parties at your place. And make sure to toss back some drinks in my honor. It's crazy to think that I never had a drop of alcohol before coming to the island. So thanks for being around to help me build up a tolerance to not get drunk on two beers or one shot. And even if all the reasons for drinking weren't always positive, I'm glad I had a bro like you drinking with me.

I wish you all the luck in your future ventures, my friend. You're a one in a million kind of guy, and I hope you stay that way.

Your totally awesome bro,
Ryan

To my fiercely loyal friend,

For a relationship built on a secret, I'd say we did pretty well at becoming real friends.

Can't say that I'll miss getting pummeled by you during our lessons, but it is a total bummer that I won't remember any of the moves you taught me. Maybe between the Broadway shows I know I'll be putting on (because I think we both know I will be on that big ol' stage), there will be some part of me that will want to take some martial arts lessons. My family would be pretty surprised by that for sure. I'll be kicking butt on and off the stage hardcore!

In all seriousness though, this wouldn't be a letter from me if I didn't give you some advice (which I know you won't want to listen to, but too bad). I'd like it very much if you would do your best to open yourself up just a little more to others. It's tough to make friends because they might go away, but a key to surviving a place like Atia is having good people around you. Trust me on this. I wouldn't have survived three years of this place if it hadn't been for awesome friends (like you). Don't be afraid to let people help you either, Miss Don't Worry About Me. Getting help from others and giving help in return is how it should be, end of story. You give so much, I'm afraid you'll drain yourself dry. So try for me, okay?

Anyway, okay, I'm not going to close this letter like some kind of after school special. Oh all right, maybe I will a little. I will miss the heck out of you. I'll miss all of our times spent drinking. And yes, maybe even you kicking my butt. Most of all, I will miss seeing your smiling, caring face showing up when I need you the most.

Make sure you have a drink or two for me, okay?

Stay cool!

Love,
Ryan

To my fashion buddy,

Sorry to say that another one of your shopping buddies has been sent home.

I had an absolute blast hanging out with you! It was so awesome to meet someone with fashion sense equal to my own. As a small parting gift, please accept my favorite fedora to remember me by. There is no one that deserves it more than you.

I can't believe how long we've known each other. All the dances, parties, and of course your wedding to the most amazing guy on the island. You have definitely earned yourself the title Queen of the Social Scene. I really wish that some part of me will be able to remember all of this. It kills me to think that I'll just forget the wicked awesome things we did.

On top of all the fun things you put on, you are a stupendous mom! Grace is one lucky kiddo. I'm so glad I was able to stick around long enough to have met her. I wish you and Bob the best of luck. I only ask that you tell Grace about her Uncle Ryan and make sure she knows I love her. All my love to you and Bob too.

Keep being a stellar star!

With much love,
Ryan

To my enthusiastic stage twin,

What can I say? I don't think Mezzanote's stage will be quite the same with two of its biggest stars split up, but I have a feeling you will rise to the challenges of keeping your star shining brightly. Which is why I have chosen you to replace me as the head honcho of the opera house. Now, I know you'll probably freak out about this, but as your boss, I command you to keep your cool. I wouldn't pick just anyone to take care of our beloved palace of the arts. I have complete faith in you, Kyoko. You've been around long enough to know how things work and the other employees trust you to lead them to a bright future.

As for your off stage life, please do your best to be careful! I know the last thing you want to hear is that I still had some worries on my mind, but you made it so hard not to. I want nothing but the best for you. You are a dear friend, and if I do come back (and you're still here) I want to hear nothing but great things from you, got it?

Okay, enough of the harsh stuff. I am so thankful to have met such an amazing young lady. Your passion for the stage made me not miss my sister so much. I think Sharpay would have liked your drive to do the best in everything.

Thank you for always pushing me to follow my gut and just go through with my crazy ideas on the stage.

Stay strong and carry on!

Love,

Ryan

My Dearest Employees,

It seems Atia has decided that we shall no longer grace the stage together.

While I will sincerely miss seeing what wonderful acts you will put on, I know in my heart that they will be truly amazing! After all, I wouldn't hire just any ragtag group of individuals to make a good name for Mezzanote. You all are truly masters of your crafts, and I expect you to keep improving so that if I am brought back, I want to see how much more you've learned.

I have left Kyoko Mogami in charge. I trust she will be as good as boss as I was. So please follow her orders like you would my own.

Break a leg you crazy performing machines!

Your employer and friend,

Ryan Evans
