CHAPTER 7

FUNERAL

The day was bleak and windy. Perfect weather for a funeral. Fox sighed and put his head in his hands, tail drooped over the hard metal chair that he was seated in. About one hundred people were attending his old friend's funeral. Even Falco, who usually acted like nothing fazed him, was in tears. Peppy's blow to him had cracked his arm, and he was wearing a blue cast that matched his feathers quite nicely. It was two weeks after the horrible event that claimed Peppy's life. Wolf, along with everybody was dressed in jet-black. "… And now some words, from Fox McCloud, who knew Peppy best," said a gray colored squirrel. He was the only one who didn't seem depressed about Peppy's death. The strangely chipper squirrel quickly scurried off the stage to let Fox through, his arms crossed in front of him impatiently.

Fox sucked in a deep breath. What should I say? He thought sadly. His spirits were cheered slightly, though by Wolf, who whispered a soft "You can do it, McCloud." Fox rose, spirit renewed, and began a slow, steady walk to the dais that the squirrel had previously been occupying.

"When my father died…" Fox began. "Peppy was there for me. He gave me his home, and became sort of a grandfather to me. He was, as I'm sure you guys all know, a member of the original Star Fox team. He also became my mentor when I first formed the second Star Fox. He always offered great advice, and was a great cook for the team. He was also a good father for his daughter, Claire." Fox drew a breath and continued with:" I know that he's happier now, wherever he is. I'll miss you old buddy." Everybody stood and clapped after Fox finished his speech. Claire approached Fox, tears shimmering in her eyes. She managed to gasp out through her tears:" That was a beautiful eulogy. I cried straight through the whole thing." The Star Fox team approached the tombstone with a silent reverence. It read

GREATLY LOVED. GONE TOO SOON.

With that, three of the team approached their Arwings, and a certain other one went to his Wolfen. They didn't stop for autographs or anything else, and headed straight for the Great Fox at max velocity. Thus ended another funeral for Fox McCloud, but he didn't know another one was coming fast…
