The people voted, or at least you guys did, and you chose Letters to Sweden as my next spectacular fanfic. For those of you that didn't vote, first of all shame on you, and second, here's what the fanfic's about:

In the future of Retroville, Carl is married to Elkie, and they live on a llama ranch outside of town. When going through the attic, Carl finds a box of letters between him and Elkie when they were just pen pals. They look through them together, tracing back to their early romance.

So here's what you asked for: Letters to Sweden!


Chapter One: Luckiest Man on Earth

Dawn broke the horizon overlooking the desert, bathing the rusty landscape with fresh, young light. Eager to flood the land, it quickly spread, leaving a sense of warmth wherever it landed. The light bounced from rock to rock, cactus to cactus, until it met with something different. Dawn's light washed over a large house, claiming it from the dark night. It came through a window and splashed onto the face of a sleeping man, snoozing gently on a king sized bed.

He was a hefty man, and his features homily at best, but he slept with a big smile on his pudgy face. The ray of light from the window stirred him from his sleep. Squinting in the light, he reached over and took a pair of thin framed glasses from a night stand, glancing at the holographic clock as he did. 6:47.

"Perfect timing." he thought to himself contentedly. He turned over onto his elbow to face the sleeping figure beside him.

In contrast to the man, the woman beside him was extremely beautiful, her blond hair, falling gently onto her naturally blushing face. She hugged the blanket around her thin, curved body, a small smile on her lips. The man leaned over and brushed a hair from her face.

"I've got to be the luckiest man on Earth." he thought as he stared at his beautiful wife. Reluctantly tearing his eyes away from her sleeping form, he quietly got out of bed.

Stepping lightly across the carpeted floor in llama-print pajamas, he reached the walk-in closet. As he closed the door softly behind him, a holographic butler appeared beside a mirror.

"Good morning, Dr. Weezer." the polite image said.

"Yes it is, Charles." Carl said with a smile. "Yes it is."
