New legacy for ya'll. This one is just a regular legacy, which I may or may not score.

Oh, and the first update is from the point of view of the founder, written as a letter to her mom. I don't think that I'll always do it like a letter, but if I like it and you like it, it might end up happening that way.




Well, here I am in Riverivew with Fluffy. I'm hoping that no one here will find out that I'm a witch. I'm going to be careful with using my magic, and make sure that no one sees me.  I'll get a job and try to act normal. If that's possible.


I found a small house that's in my favorite color. It has enough room for Fluffy and me, and if I get married and have kids, it should be fairly easy to build onto. I was able to convert one of the bedrooms into an alchemy room of sorts. I've locked the door, and I'm the only one with the key, so I won't have to worry about guests stumbling onto my secret. Literally.


Since I've always had a certain knack for aquiring items that aren't mine, (kleptomaniac) I applied for a job at the local criminal warehouse. I was surprised that not only did I get the job right away, but I didn't need to do a background check and risk having my witchy heritage found out. It was nice to have a job, even if I would be stealing a lot of the time. But my lifelong dream is to prove that the law isn't everything. (Posession is 9/10 of the Law)


I was encouraged to work on my athleticism, to make it easier to run from the police when I'm on the job. Isn't that a heartening thought? Hah. Yeah, right. Either way, I bought a treadmill on the way home and set it up in my living room. Work starts in a few days and I wanted to get a head start on everything, to impress my boss. Maybe I'll get a promotion sooner that way.


I also decided to meet some of the locals. I met a Don Lothario, and he seemed like a nice type, although I've heard that he's a bit of a womanizer. I remember hearing my boss, Rhoda Bagley, talk about the two of them going on a date. She laughed as she told us women that she was practically engaged to him. I hope she realizes that no one has a chance with him; I wouldn't want her to get hurt, since she's one of my only friends here in town.


My first night in my new house and I almost burn it down making macaroni. Fluffy seemed glad that the firewoman came soon. Apparently she didn't want to meet Ol' Grimmy.


Don asked if I wanted to come over for a little dance party the next day. I said yes, thinking there would be other people there. It was just the two of us, but we had fun anyway. At one point, I almost blurted out that I was a witch, especially after he told me that he wanted to be a heartbreaker. I think I should tell Rhoda; she'll need to know that Don is just stringing her along.


Although she probably wouldn't listen to me. After a few drinks, something just came over me. I kissed Don. And he kissed me back. I didn't know what to do, so I did the first thing that popped into my head, even if he is dating my boss.


I asked him to move in with me. I'm a horrible coworker. I wouldn't be surprised if Rhoda fires me the next time I go into work.


Don stopped by the store and bought some new clothes and then we met up at home. I swear, none of what happened next was supposed to happen. I was just laying on my side of the bed, reading a book for work, when Don came in. I was ready for bed and nice and warm from a bath and he just pulled me over to him. Not rudely, but still. I was like putty in his hands.


I took out my frustration at me and my weakness on Mr. Pickles, the cat I adopted so that Fluffy could have a "friend." I caught Mr. Pickles drinking from the toilet bowl and I flew off the handle, screaming at him to act his age. I felt bad though so I gave him a treat afterwards. Probably confused the poor cat.


I also spent a lot of time at my alchemy station, trying to avoid Don. I was fairly certain that I was pregnant after our one night together, and I was terrified to tell him. I didn't want him to marry me just because I was pregnant with his kid, but at the same time, I didn't want him to leave me for the same reason.


But I'll have to figure it out eventually, since our child will be born soon.


I'll admit, I was still avoiding Don. It was fairly easy, since he had taken a job at the hospital and he was off at work most of the time, and I was home reading pregnancy books and trying to keep the house clean, since Rhoda insisted that I take some time off to keep me and the baby safe. She seems a little...put out with me over what happened with her and Don, but she hasn't fired me yet.


Sitting at the library, studying with Don, I wondered if he would notice that I was wearing different clothes, or that I had put on a little bit of weight. But I think he was too busy studying a book about chess, to become more logical or something, to even notice me.


(Mr. Pickles and Fluffy tried for kittens and Fluffy got pregnant)


When we got home from the library, I sucked it up and told Don that I was pregnant. He was super excited, and in the heat of the moment, I asked if he would be my boyfriend. He said no, which I kind of expected, but I didn't expect that it would hurt as much as it did. I really do like Don, even if most of Riverview has dated him. This may seem petty, but I'm the only one who can say that I'm having Don's child. Take that, ladies of Riverview!


Maybe not. Childbirth hurts, a lot. I'm just glad that Don works at the hospital. He's seen women giving birth, so he didn't freak out like most men would. He called a taxi and we went to the hospital.


A few hours later we were back home with a baby boy. We tried to figure out a name the taxi ride home and finally agreed on Albus just as we pulled up to the house.


I was kind of nervous when I left the alchemy room, where Albus sleeps at the moment, and Don asked if we could talk.


When he asked if I would be his girlfriend, I said yes right away.


Imagine my surprise when he then pulled a box out of his pocket and proposed! It feels so weird to be engaged and have a kid. I never thought that would be me. Some of my friends, yes. But me? Never.




Don threw a bachelor party and was telling me about it later. Maybe having it on the full moon wasn't the best idea. Apparently even in Riverview, the supernatural like to come out and play.


I was going to have a bachelorette party before the wedding, but I found myself pregnant again. I think Don and I will get married before this one comes. Hopefully I can find a dress that will fit!

Mom, I am sorry that I left Moonlight Falls without saying goodbye. But I needed to get out of there and try to live as normal a life as possible, and I knew that if I waited until you were awake, you would be able to talk me into staying for another year or two. A lot has changed for me, but I miss you everyday. Maybe someday you can visit me, Don, and Albus.

Until then, with love,
