Amy Rose Nakamura's Letters

4/29/33

Dear Mom and Dad,

Today is Amaya's birthday!! I can't believe you guys would miss it! You were telling me you got her a nice present, and she can't open it because we and the cops are looking for you. You won't answer your phones or e-mails or anything. I know I can't even send this letter until we do, but I have to do this.
You'd never miss her birthday without good reason. You'd never just up and leave with no reason. I can't imagine why you'd leave two kids alone, but I'm sure you meant well. I just want you back. To at least know why and say goodbye.

Lots of love,
Amy Rose

Dear Mom and Dad,

There's still no trace of you. Where are you!? Amaya and I miss you so much! She misses you so much that she's locked herself in her room since the day you disappeared the day before her birthday. She won't say much, and barely eats anything. And you know me, so the kitchen's a mess and I've burned half of my pancakes.
Please come back soon, okay? We need you!

Lots of love,
Amy Rose

Dear Mom and Dad,

I've tried to send some of my letters, but none have reached you. Nobody can find you. Amaya's really sorry about what she said, and you know I miss you a lot, so why haven't you returned? It's been exactly a week.
It's also the first day Amaya's come out of her room. She left it for my dinner, which was also burned at the bottom, but we just left that alone. She doesn't speak much, and hasn't smiled, but she's at least eating like she used to.
I still don't know why you're no there to take care of us. It's clear now that we depend on you, if it wasn't before. Again, Amaya's really sorry for what happened between you.

Please come home,
Amy Rose

Dear Kou-san and Tou-san,

I thought I'd throw in a little Japanese! Tee-hee!
But even with my love of Dad's heritage, you're not here. We're all alone. I've tried to send my last few letters, but still there's nothing, and Amaya's sunk a little deeper into her hole. It might take a lot to get her back, but I can do it!
I just wish you were here to help.
You're our parents. You'd tell us we were your pride and joy, so why? Why did you leave us all alone?

I miss you,
Amy Rose

Dearest Mom and Dad,

You won't believe this! I came home from school today, and Amaya was cooking us dinner! She gave me a small smile and welcomed me home. She let me hug her and we talked. We really talked, like the old days. I think Amaya's snapped out of it!
But there are days where I sink a little. You've still left us, and I want you home. Amaya does too, I think, since she doesn't even talk about you. When we mention them, she suddenly gets quiet and changes the subject. I wish she'd tell me why she's so down about it.
I miss you so much I still cry at night sometimes. I can't figure out why you would have left us. Why you'd leave and not take us. Wherever you are, I hope you miss us too.

Love,
Amy Rose

Dear Mother and Father,

It's been a few days since I've written, which should surprise you. I haven't given up hope that we'll find you. The only thing I'm losing hope on are the letters. I send out at least one of them each week, and nothing ever comes back. Half don't even get sent.
I'm twelve! I just want me parents back!
Mom! Dad! Come home, please!

With hope and love,
Amy Rose

Dear Mom and Dad,

Amaya went on a job interview today. Well, two. And there was one yesterday. We can't inherit your funds until she's eighteen, but I think you'll return by then. In the meantime, the fundraiser money is running low and she's been forced to get a job. I'm too young, so she's going to try and get one or two to keep us afloat and away from Social Services.
I don't want to be in a foster home, guys. I want my real parents! I want you!
Where are you?
Please come home soon.

Love,
Amy Rose

Dear Mom and Dad,

You haven't gotten any letters? Someone said they saw Dad in Arizona near the start of the month, but only now we know it isn't you. We also know that surviving might be hard for us. Amaya's pay isn't the greatest since she's fifteen and I can't even work. It won't get us much for long.
We've already debated trying to sell the house or our possessions, but Amaya said we shouldn't worry about that just yet. Someone's still raising money for us and it's so far been used to cover our water and electricity bills.
Please come home before we starve. I can't stress just enough how we need you! Please!

Love,
Amy Rose

Mom and Dad,

There have been so many people claiming to have seen you. A few even pretended to be you. But Amaya and I turned them down. She claimed not a one was you and never met a single person. I think she thinks you're gone for good, but I'll prove her wrong!
In the meantime, however, I'll continue to meet people and make sure I know they're not you. When you find us or we find you, I'll know it's you.

Love,
Amy Rose

Yesterday was Halloween! It was a blast! We had a little party to help raise money for us to live, and there was a nice turnout. Less and less people have been coming to these things, but I think my cute little angel costume helped. Who wouldn't want to help an adorable angel like me? Tee-hee!
Amaya handled the food and drinks and music while I mainly handled the company. Her devil costume was pretty cool, but I had a hard time convincing her to leave that coat you got her in her room. We found it a long time ago and she hasn't taken it off since except to sleep. It's like her safety blanket.
I still can't believe you're not here. You've missed the Fourth of July and the beginning of this school year and now Halloween.
Please come back, even if it's just for Thanksgiving.
I know you're out there, I can feel it.

With love,
Amy Rose

Today's Thanksgiving.
I kept waiting for you to show, to appear and say there was a mistake, or this was a test, or that something happened. But we haven't heard from you at all.
We made a big dinner. Despite Amaya's arguing, I set places for you. We couldn't convince anyone to have dinner with us, so we were alone. It wasn't much of a dinner anyway, since it was cheap meat, boxed mashed potatoes, and a cold can of peas because the microwave broke.
All we want is you. I don't know why you won't come back.

I love you,
Amy Rose

Dear Mom and Dad,

I wrapped Amaya's presents today. I got you something, but it's in a bag with tissue paper. It's not much, since we're poor now, but it's sentimental. I want you home for Christmas. You owe us at least that for leaving us alone for this long.
I asked Amaya about you, but she still avoids the subject. It's not a plague anymore, thank goodness, and she's not locking herself in her room anymore when I mention you.
Why is that? Why is everyone so...sad about it? Why does everyone give me these sad, sympathetic looks?

Please come home,
Amy Rose

Mom and Dad,

I'm finally back to school after Christmas and New Years' break. It was a blast! But today something terrible happened. My new friend, Tyler? He tried to kidnap me. I looked too hard at my crush as true love that I was blinded, and he tried to take me.
But something happened. I looked him in the eye and told him that he should rot in jail, and he left. The cops told me he tried to rot in jail. He did exactly that. For the first time in my life, I hurt someone.
There is some consolation, since Amaya told me she has a similar power. I think she might have told you to leave her alone. If she did, let's meet! Shoot me a time and a place! Prove to me that it wasn't Amaya, because she wouldn't hurt you really!

I miss you oh so much,
Amy Rose

Mom and Dad,

Valentine's has come and gone. Amaya was my Valentine this year, but I loved it. We went out to eat, which is a luxury now unless we eat cheap, and I got a cupcake with some milk!
Amaya also told me today that we're going to a place called Beata Academy. It's for people like us. A place where I can learn to control my power and I don't need to make my eyes suffer ADHD to make sure I don't force anyone to do anything. She says she signed up, and signed me up when I got my power.
We need support. We need to know that even though we have powers, we are loved, that it's okay.

Please come see us,
Amy Rose

Dear Mom and Dad,

It's been a while since I've written. I've been busy with school and training here at Beata Academy. But I've made a ton of friends, and we're all having fun. Amaya's coming out of her shell a little more, and ever since we met Netro, she's been wearing her gloves less. We even went to the pool without them
Amaya signed up for a tournament, as did a number of my new friends. I cheered for them all, but didn't enter the fighting arena illusion thing. She lost, but I don't blame her. She said her opponent was Ken, and he turned into Cerberus; and that when she tried to order him around, he lost control of his form. She was happy to fight, even if she lost. Maybe I'm rubbing off on her.
I, on the other hand, signed up to help out another school. I'm going to Greece! I'm so excited! And since Amaya can't take care of me forever, she opted to stay here. Oh! She's also the Winter Prefect! Winter's a house, one of four, and that's the one she's in. I'm a Summer.
We're doing really well, but I still miss you. I wish you could see how well we're doing and how we're doing with our powers.

With love, your little girl,
Amy Rose
