Remberance:Part One

"Cordelia Chase was a remarkable woman. She had the innate ability to
brighten up a room just by walking into it. She will be greatly
missed." Wesley said as he stepped down from behind the podium. He
joined his friends who were seated in the front row.

Cordelia was standing in a large crowded room where everyone was
seated. Although she was surrounded by an immense group of people she
felt very disconnected. The room was strange to her but she knew
exactly where she was.

"You're Funeral."

Cordelia turned around to face a familiar demon.

"Skip?"

"No actually I'm his cousin Phil. Oh don't worry I really work for The
Powers That Be." Phil said.

"But you look so much like him." Cordelia said.

"We look totally different. My right horn is a little lower then my
left one. Sorry about that how thing with Skip. He went all religious
on us. Sad that his part had to play out like it did. Now back to why
I'm here. Cordelia Chase you are dead." Phil said.

"Kind of already figured that out." Cordelia said.

"Yeah well it's mandatory. When Elvis died they didn't tell him and
now his soul is still out there wandering the earth." Phil said.

"Anyway I am here to guide you to you next life."

"You mean like reincarnation?" Cordelia asked.

"Your soul is beyond that now. You are going to join with the powers.
You need to let go of your life here before going on to the next."
Phil said.

"What if I can't?" Cordelia inquired.

"Your memory will be erased. Usually that's not the case when crossing
into the higher realms but coming back down is another story. Of
course you know all about that don't you?" Phil said.

"There's one thing I have to do first." Cordelia stated

"What's that?"

"Let go of someone in my heart." Cordelia said as the room suddenly changed around her. She and Phil were now in Angel's office. She watched as Angel sat at his desk in silence, staring at a picture of her.

"I'm sorry I couldn't save you. Actually I'm sorry about a lot of things. Your life would have been so much better without me in it. You could have actually lived." Angel said as if Cordelia could hear him.

"HEY, don't say that. You were the one that always kept me going, kept me strong. You really did save me. You made me better then I ever though I could be. I so wish things could have been different. Wish that we had met that night so I could tell you I love you. But it is too late for that now and I have to let you go. So don't worry about me sweetie, I'll be watching you." Cordelia said as she walked back to join Phil the demon.

"I'm ready"

"Ok, here we go." Phil said.

"Wait do The Powers That Be have noses?" Cordelia asked.

"They do." Phil responded.

"Good."

Cordelia was bathed in light and began to rise in the air. Suddenly without warning she stopped and was hovering in mid air. Cordelia knew something was wrong, she could feel a force pulling her in all directions.

"ANGEL!!!!" Cordelia yelled out as she disappeared.

"Oh crap." Phil said as he left to go speak to The Powers That Be.
