Hi Cece!

How are you? How's Levi? Tell him hi for us! (Especially me. ♥)

Anyway, Daddy let it slip that your school is opening up to family visits next week (some kind of parent-teacher thing?) and one of us will definitely be there too! The three-Honeychurches-only cap is so unfair, but you'll be happy to know that we've decided to settle this like civil little witches: we're calling it the Gooseberry Games! Get a list of questions and challenges and stuff from your friends, include them in your next letter, and whoever does the best gets to come! Good idea, right? Don't let us down, big brother!

Sorry this letter is so short! But we wanted to get it out to you soon so you could get back to us soon. But we'll write on Sunday like normal too! We've got soooo much to tell you!

Love,
Cleo & Daph & Mel

PS - Send cookies! The ones mom sent us last week are
gone because Mel gave them to her cheer squad!!

[Posted to the journal after receiving the letter.]

For those that don't already know, I've got three younger sisters. And all of them want to come next week. Obviously, they can't, so they've decided to have some kind of [...] competition to see who will be tagging along with our parents. I got a letter today asking me to ask all of you for suggestions on questions and challenges they can complete for the "Gooseberry Games." So I am. Any ideas? I won't tell them to do anything dangerous, so don't go there, but I know they'd appreciate the help. They seem to be having fun with this.

[...]

This seems like a terrible idea. But maybe that's just the overprotective big brother talking?

[Warded to Addy]

If you've got time next week, could I introduce you to my sister? You know, whichever one wins the games. [...] They're thinking of applying here next year and I think it could be good for them to know someone. At least a little, anyway. It's hard to change schools, you know?

[Warded to Levi]

Cleo, Daph, and Mel wanted me to tell you 'hi' for them and ask how you are again. I think you made a good impression on them over the break and you'll probably have to get used to this on a weekly basis. ♥ That's what you get for being fun and charming, I guess.

	Of course they would! And it'd be nice to have Honeychurches here even though they are not named Cecil :( It's no problem even at all ♥ I promise I won't let anyone use them as freshmen owls, and I'll make the parties sound boring, and I'll write updates ALL the time.

You'd even have another C. Honeychurch? It'd be like I never left. [...] It's a shame we couldn't have even one year of overlap. I would've liked to show them around and help them get settled and be an overprotective pain and all that. But you'll all be fine without me and so will they. If they decide to apply and they get in and everything.

See? That's what I mean. The best hands. ♥

You could always fail out, stick around for another year?
Jk don't you dare. We'll try to like, struggle on without you. Iiidk if it'll work.
And I'm sure they'll get in, if they want to apply. Would they def all want to go to the same school?

THE HANDS WILL TRY, for the Honeychurches. If they want and immediately don't like, think I'm creepy, I could even write a few letters so they know me a little more over this year/ summer?

It'll work just fine. I promise. And I can't fail out now; I've finally got a plan and I've got to start filling out applications myself soon. [...] I've decided to go to culinary school. So plan to see a lot of owls next year bringing you cake boxes?

I think they will too. They're more naturally talented with magic than I've ever been and they're smart and they work hard (mostly). I think it'll largely come down to where they want to be. I think they would want to stay together, though.

Addy. I sincerely doubt that anyone has ever thought you're creepy. But if you guys hit it off, that'd definitely be an option. We write every week like clockwork too.

Omg really?? THAT'S SO GOOD, you're going to be great! Do you want to start your own restaurant?? Or bakery? Omg when you get lots of famous reviews, I'm going to frame them and brag to everyone that I used to be your vvv bad kitchen assistant.

And the best is no contest,duh. I hope they choose here! And YAY we'll for sure see. (Bc YET. No one thought I am creepy YET.)

Really. And thanks, Addy. It might not be the most [...] important work that I could do with my life, but it makes people happy and it makes me happy and I think that's enough. I don't know where things will go yet, but I think this is the right path for me. And you're an amazing kitchen assistant. What you lack in technique, you more than make up with enthusiasm and encouragement. ♥ And your technique is getting better all the time too.

I'll let you know. Or, I suppose if you're writing, one of them will let you know. (You're too sweet to be creepy, Addy. Fact.)

Hush. It's very important. ESPECIALLY since it makes other people happy, and MORE importantly it makes you happy. You're the one doing it. And omg I totally wasn't fishing for compliments/ am in fact hiding under my chair with embarrassment from them all rn but ♥. I'll still taste test the shit out of your culinary school stuff. Which is probs like, not even necessary. You're gonna be so good at this.

YAYYY and SEE POINT HIDING UNDER CHAIR.
