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

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

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 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
