"Willow Rosenburgh Was Buffy's best friend and she has asked to say a few words. Willow?"
The redhead awkwardly approached the podium. It was no secret that she hated public speaking so anything she was going to say now had to be worth listening to.
She had prepared a speech, which she now placed before her. Talking about all the great things Buffy did and what a wonderful person she was. But now, standing here, that wasn't what she wanted to talk about.
"As father Kline said I was Buffy's best friend, and she was mine. I don't know how to put into words how much she meant to me. She befriended me in high school when I was nothing more than an over-accommodating nerd. But I learned more from her than I ever learned in any school." there were tears streaming down her face but she didn't acknowledge them.
"She taught me to Carpe Diem 'seize the day'. She said life is short. She lived every day with love and compassion. I took it for granted that she would always be there. I'm not sure I ever told her that I loved her. And even If I did it wasn't often enough. She was the one I could always talk to about everything. And now I'm just so lost." She broke down crying and instantly the blonde (her name being overheard as Tara) was at her side one hand holding hers and the other on her back.
"She sacrificed herself for us! I hope none of us ever forgets that. And I'll never forget the caring, heroic, wonderful person that was my best friend" She choked then let Tara lead her back to her seat.
"Thank you Willow, The priest said, returning to the podium." He wiped at his eyes with a handkerchief.
"That was beautiful, I'm sure Buffy is looking down on us today and thinks the same thing. In just a moment I will leave you to say your final goodbyes, but first Buffy's little sister Dawn wrote a poem for her sister that she would like to share with you all."
Dawn approached the podium. She looked so much older than she had a week ago. Her eyes were bloodshot her cheeks tearstained, and she kept her head down when she walked. She had seen too much grief in her short life, Angel though. His heart went out to the young girl.
For My Sister she began.
"You never let me tag along, but I did anyway
You didn't like me wearing your clothes, so I snuck them
You tried to keep secrets from me, so I told mom on you
I always got into trouble, you always helped me out of it
You tried to teach me about the world, but I didn't listen
When I fell, you picked me up
When I cried, you soothed me
When I told lame jokes, you laughed at them
I didn't appreciate you as my sister, until now
I didn't tell you how much you mean to me, until now
I never doubted that you would protect me
I just wish you were here now so I could thank you
I'm not perfect, but you loved me anyway
Because I am you
I am your sister
I've never been prouder to say that
And I love you"
