Disclaimer- You know the drill!
John, or Pyro, was always a jolly person. Always laughing and always playing around. His cackles of laughter would never die out but today wasn't the best day to be beaten up by Sabretooth. It was his 29th birthday and he had accidentally burnt Sabretooth's pants when he was playing with fire. He walked up the street, looking for the place where he used to call home. Though not many people notice, John was not always as happy and insane as most people think. He walked into the house and went to wash the blood out of his mouth. He looked in the mirror to see blood trickle down the side of his mouth and when you looked close enough, you could see a scar from sometype of cut or bite. His smile had died out and was replaced by a deadly frown.
"It's time to end this once and for all." He said to himself.He took out his lighter and a little fire came out of it and it became bigger and bigger until the entire house was engulfed in flames. When the firemen came, they were too late. The house was burning down and the fire was too big to put out. They heard a cackle of laughter come from inside the house as it came crashing down. When the flames died out, they found John's body there, still warm but very dead. He was smiling and many people said he had committed suicide. It was in the news and when Sabretooth heard about it, he believed that it was all his fault that it happened. Remy, Magneto and Sabretooth went to the hospital where they examined John's body to find out if it was suicide or murder.
"John." Eric, or Magneto, muttered, "You may have been annoying sometimes but why did you do it. It was your birthday. I wish you would take your own advice and be happy on the day when you were born."
"I can't believe this happened because of me!" Sabretooth exclaimed.
"It wasn't your fault. John had a bad past and even though beating him up would never matter to him, you drove him to the limit where he remembered what happened when he was younger." Magneto comforted.
"Remy agrees. Even though you did beat him up, it's not your fault." Remy said.
"I guess the only thing left to do is to give him a funeral." Eric said.
"But who do we ask to come?" Remy asked. Eric pondered for a while and asked the Brotherhood and the X-Men to come. They came and the saddest out of all of them were Amara and Wanda for some reason. Piotr was carrying the coffin out for it to be buried. Amara was on her knees sobbing. When Piotr put the coffin down, Remy finally noticed something strange about it.
"Hey, Sabretooth, you arranged da coffin right?" Remy asked pointing at the coffin John's corpse was in.
"Yeah." He answered, "I was supposed to help arrange the Funeral remember?"
"Yes, but why in the world did you make it pink?"
