Disclaimer: Don't own nobody and don't care to. Yeah right... If I owned these people then I would be filthy stinking rich!
Everything's changed. Everything's changed so much since that day. They've become more distant. Especially those bright, joyous, beautiful eyes that have seen every horror this world has to offer. They've witnessed horrible mutations, terrible, bloody deaths, disbelieving stories. Even through all of those terrors, I have never seen those eyes hold that much sadness, that much pain. Losing a loved one without ever telling them Goodbye is the worst punishment God has to offer.
Everything happened so quickly, and all at once too. The car came out of nowhere, they told me, that there was absolutely no chance of survival. None at all. I never thought I'd lose those loved ones so young, and before me, too. I would have bet money that the work would have done it, but never a drunk driver.
The funeral is in a few hours... It will be a closed casket; I didn't want it to be. But when they told me that the car and body were practically melded together into one solitary existence, then I relented. They didn't deserve to be shown all cut up and mutilated; they deserved more respect than that. Father asked me to give the Eulogy, and I should have declined, but I felt that I owed them at least that much homage. I just had to show them just how much I had cared for them, and how much I was proud of them.
I'm at the funeral now. I'm trying so hard not to listen to Father, but I just can't. To lose one daughter, your husband, and then your last baby; It's just so hard, and it's even harder when you know someday she would have gotten married...
Well Father is signaling me; I guess that means it's my turn to speak now. Time for my long awaited speech. I walk slowly up to the podium, half in a daze, half all too awake. I lovingly glance at the coffins as I reach my destination up front and begin my heart-felt speech. I try desperately to fight back that steady stream of tears that are welling up behind my eyes.
"Thank you all for coming. We whole-heartedly appreciate all of the condolence you have offered. It's good to know that they had so many friends who cared deeply for them. Today, we are gathered here to lay to rest two very beloved people, Ms. Dana Katherine Scully, and Mr. Fox William Mulder..."
