078 // goodbye (squeezing in a canon update before the next flood)

[thatlibbychick]

I hate to do this so soon...I hadn't planned for this to happen yet, but the truth is simply that I can't bear to wait anymore.

I'm going back to my world--at least, I think that's where I'm headed. I don't know why, or how, but something is telling me that there's someplace I could have been all this time, and I've just been too stubborn to accept it. I think that someone might be waiting on me. I don't know if that means I'm getting a second chance at life, or...well, whatever else it could possibly signify. I'm sure of very little right now, except the near-certainty that I'll be seeing Hugo again. That's why I can't wait around anymore.

I don't know how long I'll be there, and how long that will equate to here. Despite this, I can promise you that I will be back. I've made connections here that I'd never want to lose, and I promised a few people I'd stay on for awhile longer.

All of my close friends--you know who you are--and maybe a few others will receive letters from me, if I can find a way to send them.

Ruby, I'll help you more when I return. I'm so sorry, but I stalled this for as long as I could.

I'll be gone by morning. Until then, I'm here to talk. I don't want to leave without saying goodbye.

Oh Libby, I'm going to miss you, but I'm so happy you're getting this.

Private.

I'll miss you, too, but it's not like I'm leaving for good. You'll see me again, Martha.

Thank you, so much, for believing in me.

Private.

[toldastory]

Of course! And thank you for believing in me!

[yousethimfree.livejournal.com]

I completely understand. Have a good time.

[thatlibbychick.livejournal.com]

I will. Thank you for understanding, hon.

[yousethimfree.livejournal.com]

No problem. I'll see you when you get back.

[thatlibbychick.livejournal.com]

Of course. I'll probably have a hundred stories you won't want to hear, and I'll talk your ear off anyway.

[yousethimfree.livejournal.com]

I can handle it, don't worry.

[thatlibbychick.livejournal.com]

You'll regret saying that right around story number eleven, mark my words.

Love you, hon.

[yousethimfree.livejournal.com]

Love you, too.

[gimmethemap]

No.

...Libby, no.

[thatlibbychick.livejournal.com]

Morgan, it isn't forever. I'll be back.

She's gonna go have a mini-freakout :|

Ah, optimism. Good luck.

[thatlibbychick.livejournal.com]

Thank you, West. It feels good to have something to believe in again.

I'll be sure to send a letter to you and Billy.

[my-freeze-ray.livejournal.com]

I told you you wouldn't be stuck here forever. It might have looked like I was wrong at the time, but check it out; it turns out I'm right!

[thatlibbychick.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you "told me so." You win this round, Billy.

Thank you.

[my-freeze-ray.livejournal.com]

Yeah, well, don't beat yourself up over it.

You go have an awesome pile of life, Lib.

[thatlibbychick.livejournal.com]

I'll do my best, believe me.
