Thank you to: smily1994 I'm glad you love it, I just can't help but making them uber long….lucky you! JasmineDelilahBarlow It's about time you start loving it!! LOL jk. sunligh584 thank you for the compliment. I am trying to write as much as possible. And I am highly considering your story request ;)

A/N: This chapter is the longest by far with 17 pages! I basically cover every emotion in this chapter. There is happy, sad, romance, and even friendship bonding. This chapter heavily focuses on the couples. If you have a problem with the couples, that is not my problem. I asked for feedback a few chapters ago and nobody said anything. This is spread out across three days, hence why it is so long. Now, part of this could very well be crack headed but I wrote it anyway. Moving on, ON TO THE STORY!

Once everybody made it back to Merya's house and settled down in the living room, Merya spoke up.

" So, I guess now would be a good time to start planning?"

" That works but about a half a dozen of us have to leave in an hour for the Smackdown/ECW tapings tonight." Matt reminded.

"That's fine. Let's see what we can get done between now and then." Kari suggested.

As everyone crowded themselves around the big dining room table, Merya and Shawn went into the kitchen to get kool-aid for everyone. Merya grabbed the pitcher while Shawn retrieved the cups but when he turned back around he noticed a change in Merya.

"Are you okay?" he asked tenderly.

"I will be." Merya answered, solemnly.

"Come here." Shawn said as he pulled her into a much needed hug.

After they let go, Merya looked up at Shawn. "Thanks for that. I guess I didn't realize just how bad everything really is. It all just hit me at once." she explained as she began pouring the kool-aid into cups.

"Don't worry about it. We all understand, you don't need to put up a front."

Merya smiled at him as she grabbed some of the cups and walked to the dining room, with Shawn following behind her with the rest of the cups and the pitcher.

"I think having these guys as friends is going to turn out to be better than we could've imagined." Merya thought to herself as she sat down and listened in on the conversation of plans.

Once everyone had focused and talked out what was needed, the plans just started coming together. By the time the Smackdown guys had to leave, they had almost everything planned. Within another hour they were all done.

"Okay so now that we have our shopping list, I don't think all of us have to go out tomorrow like we planned. So who is willing to do all the shopping tomorrow while the rest of us stay here and call up everyone that needs to know about the funeral." Cleo asked as she looked down at their grocery list.

" Paul, Jeff, Jericho, Kari, and I can do the shopping if that works for everyone." Punk offered.

"Sounds like a plan to me." Jeff answered as the others nodded their heads in agreement.

"Alright, we can make up the phone call lists tomorrow morning then meet up here at eleven to separate everything up. Sound good?" Merya asked.

Everybody nodded their head and then headed into the living room to watch ECW. Once they sat down, Jeff got his phone out and texted Matt the plan so he could tell the others on their way back. The girls were all exhausted after the day they had and considering they hadn't slept yet and were still going strong, was a surprise. As everyone settled in around Cleo's tv the girls started getting drowsy but didn't want to tell the guys.

Kari, who was sitting next to Jeff, started to doze off and when Jeff noticed he put his arm around her and let her cuddle up to him and go to sleep. Nobody questioned it though because Cena and Rock were currently doing the same with the other two girls. Once all three girls had fallen asleep, Cleo's mom came downstairs and noticed.

"If you guys want, you can stay the night. After everything they have been through I don't want to wake them up right now. The couch pulls out and there are plenty of pillows and blankets in the linen closet. Tell the other guys too, I know the girls would appreciate it." She whispered to the visitors before walking back upstairs and into her bedroom.

" Looks like we're having a slumber party." Shawn whispered with a smile as he walked towards the linen closet for the blankets while Austin pulled out the couch. Meanwhile, Hunter had walked into the kitchen to call Dave and tell them the new plan.

Since the girls were asleep on Jeff, Rock and Cena, Shawn just threw blankets over top of them and giggled at the guys. " Sorry guys, we get the comfy bed and recliner and you three are stuck in that position."

" It's not so bad." Jeff commented, looking down at Kari.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Rock answered, shifting slightly, consequently pulling Cleo closer.

"You have fun in a tiny bed with Hunter and Austin." Cena winked at Shawn.

Shawn turned around and realized he really was going to be stuck with those two or else sleep on the floor and that wasn't an option considering his back problems. So he stripped down to his boxers(which all the guys other than the three 'pillows' had done already. Hey they're guys they sleep in boxers, what can I say?) and climbed in the bed. The other eight superstars scattered around the room, making sure there was space for their blue team friends, before they fell asleep too. Hunter stayed up another couple hours so he could let the others in. Once everybody was at the house they all laid down and succumbed to sleep.

Merya, Kari, and Cleo all slept peacefully, without a single nightmare about their fallen friend.

Cleo was the first to wake up. At first she was disoriented and wondered what was going on, then she blinked a few times and looked around her living room. The first thing she noticed was that she was cuddled up to Rock, who was still sound asleep. She didn't want to risk moving and waking him up so she glanced around to see where everyone else was. Merya was resting her head on Cena's pectorals at an odd angle. But knowing Merya that wasn't a surprise, she always could sleep in odd positions. Then Cleo looked over at her other friend and smiled. Kari was snuggled up to Jeff and he had his arms wrapped protectively around her. Cleo couldn't help herself and carefully grabbed her phone out of her pocket before taking a picture of it.

"Cute aren't they?" Cleo whipped her head to the side as she heard the southern drawl of the Angelic Diablo.

"Yeah. I didn't believe Merya when she told me she saw something between them but now…I think there might be something going on with them."

Matt nodded his head before he answered. "I think Jeff's trying to ignore it because of the age difference. Personally though, I don't think that really matters. I'll give him a couple days to work on his own otherwise, big brother is stepping in." Cleo smiled back at him before trying to extricate herself from Rock's grip.

"A little help here please?"

"Aww but you guys are cute too." Matt replied with a smirk.

"Yeah, yeah. Are you gonna help me?"

"Alright then." Matt stepped closer and pulled Rock's arm away from Cleo so she could roll away.

"Thanks. Want some OJ or coffee?" Cleo asked, being the gracious hostess.

"Coffee sounds great."

They both quietly tiptoed over the sleeping bodies and headed for the kitchen.

"How long have you been awake?" Cleo asked as she started the coffee pot and grabbed the juice out of the fridge.

"Woke up just a couple minutes before you. I was looking over at Jeffro and Kari too, along with You and Rocky in there." Matt answered with a wink.

Cleo blushed before looking back up at him. " I don't know what you're talking about. I just fell asleep while watching your BORING match last night." she answered with a smile.

"Oh, that hurt." Matt put a hand to his chest as if he'd been stabbed in the heart. " Seriously though, just think about it."

Before Cleo could answer, Jericho and Merya walked into the kitchen.

" I smell coffee." Jericho said, still clearly tired.

" Forget coffee, hand over that OJ!" Merya said, holding her neck.

" Ya alright there Merya?" Cleo asked.

" Yeah. Just sleeping on Cena isn't as comfortable as you would think. My neck is killing me. How bout you? You sleep good?" Merya asked, completely oblivious to the look Matt shot at Cleo.

" Yeah. I slept fine. Chris, are you alive?" Cleo quickly tried to change the subject as she saw Jericho leaning up against the wall not moving.

" Hmm…yeah I'm fine. Just need my coffee." Chris mumbled out as he pushed off the wall and walked to the freshly brewed Joe.

Matt laughed before grabbing himself a cup while the girls enjoyed their orange juice.

" So what's for breakfast?"

They all turned to see none other than Hunter standing there expecting food.

" What do you want?" Cleo asked, laughing as she realized they were all still in their boxers. Merya looked down and snickered into her hand as well.

"Omelets sound good." Hunter said with a smile.

"Can do." Cleo answered before digging into her fridge for all of the eggs and cheese. She knew that she would need it all to feed 20 professional wrestlers and her 2 bottomless pit friends.

Merya offered to help. She was willing to do anything to distract herself from looking in the living room. (Having that many half naked hot guys in one household with three teenage girls probably wasn't a smart idea.)

The three guys walked back into the living room to wake everyone up while the girls started cooking breakfast. All the guys started to crowd around the dining room table.

"Um guys. Maybe you should put your clothes on first. I mean, we don't want Cleo's mom to come down here and see all you guys half naked." Merya said, trying not to make it seem like it was the girls having the problem not Cleo's mom.

All the guys nodded and headed into the living room to retrieve their clothing, other than Cena, Rock, Jeff and Kari who slept in their clothes, and Merya went back to helping Cleo. Kari realized that the two of them wouldn't be able to do it all on their own so she walked into the kitchen to help out as well.

" So, Kari, have a nice sleep?" Cleo asked with a smile as she finished the 4th omelet.

"Yeah. Why do you ask?" Kari hesitantly questioned.

" Oh no reason. Maybe just because you and Jeff seemed awfully cuddly there."

Kari smiled over at her friend before tossing a piece of toast at her.

"Hey!" Cleo exclaimed with a laugh.

" It slipped." Kari said, evidently lying.

Merya stood back and buttered the untouched toast as she watched her two friends bicker back and forth. In her opinion, Kari was just lying to herself. Everybody else could see the chemistry between her and Jeff, they just had to wait for those two to realize it. Same thing went for Cleo and Rock as well. Before Merya could voice her opinion though, Hunter walked in asking for his food.

" Do you ever stop eating?" Merya asked with a smile as she handed his plate over.

" Nope. I didn't always eat like this, then I married Stephanie and she started feeding me all the time. It means I have to work out twice as much but at least I'm a happy little boy." Hunter answered while rubbing his stomach.

"Yeah whatever. What do you want to drink?" Kari asked.

"Um, got any chocolate milk?"

The girls just stared at him.

" I have two baby girls, what else do you think we have in my house?"

Kari laughed before pouring him a glass of chocolate milk. " Alright, send the next person in. We're gonna do this one at a time."

Slowly every guy walked in, got their food and drink then walked out. The last one to walk in was Rock and both Kari and Merya gave a look to each other that said back off. They both crowded in the corner, acting as if they were talking about something, as they watched Rock walk up to Cleo for his food. Cleo smiled up at him and he smiled down at her. Neither one realized but they stayed there looking at each other longer than was necessary.

" Thanks babe." Rock said before quietly exiting the kitchen. As soon as he was gone, both girls ran at Cleo.

" Do NOT tell me you didn't notice that!!!" Kari screamed at Cleo.

"Noti…Notice what?" Cleo stammered out.

" Yall totally just had 'a moment'!" Merya exclaimed as she finished up their breakfasts.

" Whatever." Cleo answered as she went to the fridge for their drinks.

"Are you serious?" Kari questioned her long time friend.

"Kari, let it go for now. Unless you are willing to talk about you and Jeff as well." Merya answered with a smile, giving both girls time to think.

Kari huffed before grabbing her plate and heading out to the dining room, with her friends both following behind.

During breakfast, everybody kept laughing as Hunter repeatedly got up for seconds and thirds and so on. Merya's neck was still hurting and Paul realized.

"What's up with your neck Merya?"

" Oh, nothing. Just sleeping on Cena isn't as comfortable as you'd think. No offense John but you're kinda boney. I've had better." Merya answered with a laugh, very much aware of what her words could be twisted into.

Cena feigned hurt before laughing along with her. " No worries. My wife don't complain." he winked at Merya.

"Well lucky her."

After everybody had finished their food and piled the plates into the sink, which ended up overflowing with dishes, they all sat around to prepare for the day's activities. Cleo went and grabbed the shopping list as the other girls began writing down their lists of people to call.

"Alright, here's the list guys. Give us a call if you need anything. " Cleo said as she handed the list over to Kari.

" C'Mon boys. Let's go shopping!" Kari announced as Punk, Jeff, Paul and Jericho followed her out to the car.

"Ok, so for the rest of us we got a lot of phone calls to make." Merya announced as she looked down at all the lists. " For the guys, when you call, tell them you are….were friends of Sara's and are helping out." She choked up towards the end.

Everyone looked sympathetically at her and grabbed their lists.

"Okay, so tell them the funeral is tomorrow at two and the wake will be right afterwards at Merya's house." Cleo said, taking over for her friend.

The first few calls were really hard for Merya and Cleo because they chose their closest friends to call first and break the news to. After a while they were coping better but occasionally one of the conversations would get really emotional for them. After about a half hour of non stop calls, the guys offered to finish up so the girls could take a break. Merya and Cleo thanked them and walked silently into the living room.

They turned on the tv and sat back watching music videos as the guys continued the phone calls.

"Wanna see how Kari and the guys are doing?" Cleo asked.

"Yeah." Merya answered as she pulled her phone out and called Kari, making sure it was on speaker so Cleo could hear too.

"Ello?" Kari answered as she picked up her cell.

" Hey, how you guys doing over there?"

" Great. We already got the food, tablecloths, balloons, and picture frame."

' Wait, hold up. Why do you have balloons for a damn wake?" Cleo questioned.

" It was Jeff's idea. He figured it would lighten the mood." Cleo slapped herself in the forehead as Merya answered back.

" and the other guys agreed to this?"

" Well, kinda."

" Ugh, Kari give the phone to Punk." Cleo answered back.

" Punk, they wanna talk to you!" Kari screamed over her shoulder at the dark haired man behind her.

"Yeah, what's up?" Punk asked when he reached the phone.

" Why are you allowing them to get balloons for a wake?" Merya asked.

" What balloons? I didn't see any balloons!" Punk answered, confused.

" Check the cart." Cleo advised.

There was a scuffle heard on the other end of the line and Jeff and Kari could be heard complaining in the background.

Punk came back on the line. " Alright I got 'em. They hid them underneath the tablecloths so we didn't see them. Now I got two whiny babies."

"Sorry bout that. Send them over to Chris and Paul." Merya suggested with a laugh.

"Alright. We shouldn't be much longer. How are you guys doing over there?

" Um, I think the guys are almost done. So the sooner you get back the sooner we all can just sit back and relax today." Cleo answered as the guys walked into the room.

" Okey dokie. Be there soon. Bye." then Punk disconnected the call.

"Hey guys. Ya all done?" Merya asked as she put the phone back in her pocket.

" Yep. Got everyone on the list." Khali answered.

" Sweet. Now we can all just relax until the others get home. Warning though, Jeff and Kari are upset because we wouldn't let them buy balloons."

"Uh-Oh." Matt exclaimed.

" Exactly." Cleo agreed.

Everyone sat around the tv and watched music videos as they waited for the others to come back. Shawn sat in front of Merya on the floor and Rock sat next to Cleo on the couch. Other than those two everyone just scattered around.

While watching the videos, Merya didn't even notice that she was running her fingers through Shawn's hair. As soon as she realized she pulled her hand back.

" Sorry Shawn, I didn't even notice what I was doing. I'm just used to running my fingers through Kari and Cleo's hair that it's like a habit now. And your hair is like as soft as their's so…" Merya trailed off when Shawn chuckled.

"Merya, it's fine. It's actually really relaxing. Don't worry, we're friends now. I'm not gonna yell at you or anything." Shawn smiled over his shoulder at her. Merya smiled back before resuming her previous action.

Meanwhile, Cleo was oddly aware of Rock's proximity to her. After all that talk this morning with Matt and the girls her mind has been spinning like crazy with thoughts of the People's Champ. Just as Cleo started to really concentrate on the man next to her, Punk walked through the door with the other four behind him holding bags full of stuff.

"Lucy, I'm home!!" Punk sang out.

Everybody laughed before getting up to help with the bags. Once everything was put away, Jimmy announced he had something to say.

"What is it Jimmy?" Shannon asked.

" Well, I feel bad doing this but I REALLY miss my daughter and I think I'm gonna go home Friday, if that's alright with you girls?" Jimmy asked.

"Of course it's okay. We're not forcing you to stay here. Go home to your daughter!" Kari announced.

" Thanks guys, but I am definitely staying for the funeral. I wouldn't leave ya hanging like that."

"Thanks Jimmy." Merya said before giving him a hug.

" I did make a phone call however, to get a replacement. Just like Rey did."

" You didn't have to do that." Cleo chastised.

"Oh, I wanted to. Besides, yall are gonna love him. I just know it."

All the girls looked at each other before Merya finally asked. " Who is it?"

" Nope, not telling. It's gonna be a surprise!" Jimmy answered with a smile.

"Damn you!" Merya said smiling at the Oriental Cowboy.

" He's busy this weekend but he told me that he will meet you guys at school on Monday around lunch time. I already told the other guys who it is though, and don't even think about getting it out of them because they all want to wait and see your reactions firsthand. Hunter is even going to video tape it with his phone for me so I can see as well." Jimmy answered, proud of himself for getting the guys on his side.

All three girls huffed and crossed their arms across their chest, racking their brains to see who else could be coming. They still hadn't even figured out who was coming in Rey's place either.

At that moment Rey piped up, " Speaking of which, I talked to my replacement today and he's going to be here on Saturday and he's bringing a surprise along for one of the guys as well" Rey said with a smile before leaning over and telling the girls what the surprise was. He was proud of himself for leveling the playing field.

All the girls smiled triumphantly as they scanned across every guys face. There was no way they were gonna tell them anything!

After the staredown between everyone finally came to an end, Kane wondered aloud, " So, do we have any plans for today?"

" Well we had thought the calls and shopping would take longer so...what do you guys wanna do?" Cleo asked the group.

All the guys grouped together in a football-like huddle and whispered quietly to each other, with Shawn and Cody repeatedly lifting their heads to see if the girls were listening in or not.

Finally they all screamed break! And returned to where the girls were still standing.

"So?" Merya asked.

" We couldn't come up with anything so we suggest just sitting around and watching tv. We hardly ever get to just relax." Horny answered.

"That's fine with us and I can get my mom to order us pizzas for dinner so we don't have to worry about that." Cleo replied.

Everyone agreed and crowded around the television again. Occasionally a song would come on and the girls would bust out singing but once in a while the guys would too. They spent the whole night just laughing and joking around with each other. After the music video's ended, Cleo changed the channel to VH1 and the countdown of the greatest rock songs of all time. The girls began to giggle because they remembered that Chris was on this show.

"This is just a great riff…..this is the kind of riff that you just wanna have sex with…" Chris Jericho said on the tv when asked about "Cat Scratch Fever" by Ted Nugent.

All the guys in the room slowly turned to look at a very embarrassed rocker sitting in the corner.

"Um.. Chris. Is there something you want to tell us?" Austin asked him quizzically.

"What? I like the song." Jericho defended.

" Aw, it's okay Chris. I think it was funny." Kari said as she gave him a hug to console him.

At that point the guys lost their façade and began laughing along with the girls.

" Okay, I think I'm done with the tv. What else can we do?" Chris asked, trying to change subject.

" Um…I got some board games?" Cleo offered.

" Sounds good. Let's play Yahtzee!" Cody exclaimed.

Everybody laughed at his exuberance as Cleo grabbed the game.

After about ten games of yahtzee, and going through 6 pizzas, everybody was getting tired.

" So what's the plan this time?" Tista asked.

" Do yall wanna stay again then just go get your clothes tomorrow or do you wanna stay at the hotel tonight?" Merya asked.

"I vote stay here again." Jeff said.

Matt smiled at his little brother before chancing a glance at Kari and winking. " Sounds good to me." he agreed.

" Alright then. This time though, everybody sleeps with their clothes ON!" Kari said with a laugh.

Everybody laughed along with her before grabbing the pillows and blankets again.

" I don't want Cena as a pillow this time. He's too boney!" Merya complained again, smiling at the blue eyed man.

" Fine, I'll be your pillow." Matt offered.

"Yay!" Merya said overdramatically.

Everybody chuckled again as they settled in. Kari once again was snuggled with Jeff as well as Cleo and Rock. People slowly started to drift off but Merya stayed awake and made sure Matt did too, she wanted to talk to him.

Once everybody else had fallen asleep she whispered, " Jeff and Kari. Rock and Cleo. What are we going to do about them?"

Matt smiled before answering, " I already told Cleo I am giving Jeff and Kari a few days until I intervene and I'm thinking the same goes for Rock and Cleo as well."

"Okay. I think we are the only ones that can get through to all of them right now. I know my friends and they are going to be stubborn about everything." Merya admitted.

" Same goes for Jeffro and Rocky. I'm thinking after everything with the… after everything settles down then they might all come to their senses." Matt was careful to avoid funeral talk with her, and she noticed.

"Thanks. I agree. Alright, well we got a big day tomorrow so night."

"Night." and both of them fell asleep, thinking of plans for their friends.

Surprisingly, everybody slept in until around eleven. Once Khali woke up, there seemed to be a chain reaction throughout the room as slowly, one by one, everybody woke up almost at the same time.

However, they were all still too tired to actually get up so they all continued to lay there and chat with each other around the room. Most of the conversation consisted of the girls asking the guys about being on the road, and being backstage and even a little talk about their personal lives.

Eventually Cleo's mom came back downstairs and announced she was going to McDonald's for food. Everybody gave her their orders and handed her money for the food before continuing their conversation from before.

I guess we all really are good friends now. I never would've imagined all of this. Kari secretly thought to herself as she continued to listen to Cody's story of growing up with Dusty.

Once the food arrived everybody finally sat up and ate their breakfast/lunch. As soon as each person finished they ran upstairs to take a shower. Good thing it was still early and Cleo had two bathrooms because getting 23 showers done, took some time. Everyone was given a time limit of 10 minutes and if you went over, then either Hunter, Merya, Rock or Kari would come in and flush the toilet on you. Once Khali walked out of the bathroom and everybody was done, the guys headed to the hotel to change.

As the girls all got dressed (Merya and Kari's moms brought their clothes over for them) they tried not to think about the reason they were dressed up. By the time the guys had all finished getting dressed and got back to Cleo's house, it was already 1:00.

"Everybody got everything?" Merya asked, taking control.

"Yep." All of them chimed in.

" Okay. After the funeral is over we will have about an hour to get back to my house and set up everything. Are we ready to go now?"

Everybody nodded once again before filing out of the house and climbing into the cars. Merya led the way once again as the other two cars followed.

As they pulled up to the funeral home, the girls emotions started to get the best of them. The girls already had tears rolling down their faces and the guys were quick to give them reassuring hugs. The three friends grabbed each others hands, took a deep breath, and walked through the doors.

Knowing that the guys were right behind them if they needed the support they walked into the room that had Sara's name outside the door. The very first thing the girls saw was Mrs. Roberts still looking as heartbroken as she had at the hospital. They all walked over to her and had a group hug as all of them weeped openly. The guys respectfully stood back and let the girls have their moment. The three of them were purposefully trying to avoid looking at the front of the room where the open casket was placed.

As the trio stood next to Mrs. Roberts and greeted people as they walked in, the guys headed up to the casket to show their respect. As they looked down into the casket and saw their friend they slowly started to lose the grip that they had on their own emotions. Each guy had tears forming in their eyes and was trying to keep it together for the girls but they all failed. Not being able to stand it anymore, Matt turned around and walked back to the girls.

" How are you doing?" he choked out.

" As well as expected. I don't know if we're ready yet to go up there." Kari answered back with a whisper.

" I know it's hard but you have to face the truth. We will all be there with you three. C'mon let's go." Matt tried to urge them along.

All three looked up at him before finally gazing at the casket. Immediately the three began to sob as they slowly walked forward. Matt wanted to help in some way so he reached down and gave Merya's hand a reassuring squeeze. She tried to smile up at him but couldn't do it.

The guys saw them approaching and spread out to give them room. The three stepped up to the casket and looked at their fallen friend. To give them privacy, all the guys took a couple steps back. They were close enough to lend support but far enough away that the girls could say their goodbyes.

" Sara, how come you didn't tell us about the infection? I always knew you were stubborn but this was going too far. Yes, we would've worried about you but at least you would BE HERE WITH US!!!" Kari screamed as the tears slid down her cheeks. As she calmed down she looked into the face of her childhood friend and whispered, " You and I were the closest friends could ever be, now I have to move on with our dream without you and I don't want to. You will always be in my heart and when we make it in the WWE I will dedicate every damn match to you. Wish you were here with us. I love you Sara. Always will." Having said her goodbye, Kari turned around and walked back to the guys and into the hug that was offered her by Kane.

Cleo stepped up to say goodbye next. " Sara, I really wish you hadn't of left us. We always planned to move in together and become Divas together. I will be thinking of you everyday for the rest of my life! I'm sure you had a good reason not to tell us about the infection and I will try to understand. You will always be imbeded in my heart. You are my best friend…You are my sister! I love you sooo much. Goodbye Sara." Cleo quickly turned her back and almost ran into Austin's arms for her own hug.

Merya slowly walked forward before wiping away her stray tears to look at her friend clearly. " I have known you since we were seven and we've always been friends. I always knew that if I needed to be cheered up or I just needed someone to talk to I could count on you. I can't believe you have really left us. You were there for me when I lost my grandpa and I was there for you when you lost yours, now who is here for me when I lose you? I was hoping bringing the guys here would speed up your recovery, but due to your infection you weren't able to spend that much time with them. Hey, Wanna hear a secret though? Kari and Jeff are gonna hook up soon and so is Cleo and Rock." Merya smiled despite her tears. She was determined to get everything out right then and there, even the gossip that they always use to share. " I wish you were here with me to watch our friends' happiness. We always stuck together and now I have to move on without you. I don't know how I am going to do it but I will because I know you would do the same if it was me. You were never a friend to me, you were ALWAYS my sister. I miss you so much and will love you till I die as well!" Merya blew a kiss towards Sara before walking back to the guys in almost a catatonic state. Hunter quickly pulled her into a reassuring hug and tried to comfort her.

The guys led them over to the chairs and let them cry into their shoulders until the reverend called attention up front to start the service.

" Today, we have lost a child. She hadn't yet experienced life and was taken from us all too soon. Sara Roberts was well known and loved around this community and will be greatly missed. She had a loving family and dedicated friends. The process of moving on without Sara will be difficult but we must all do it, one day at a time. Sara's mother is a great woman who always stood by her daughters side no matter what and Sara's friends are some of the most dedicated girls I have ever met. Merya, Kari, and Cleo were always by her side and encouraging her to do whatever it took to achieve her goals. I know these four women were all there when we lost Sara and they will all have to suffer everyday that their daughter, and friend, is gone. At this moment I would like to say a prayer in honor of Sara Roberts and then we will dismiss everyone to come up and say their final farewell. Please be respectful and allow the front row to go first. Thank you."

As the reverend finished his prayer, Sara's mom came over and looked down at the girls. " C'mon. We're in this together."

The girls all looked up and smiled through their tears, as they walked towards Sara along with their surrogate mother. None of them said anything, they had already said goodbye. All four looked down at Sara and silently said a prayer before slowly walking outside the doors.

They were all crying and the guys were already standing by the door to comfort them. As they all went in for the waiting hugs, Shawn reached his arms out for Mrs. Roberts' as well. The group stood there, all silently crying.

Once the last visitor exited through the doors and walked to his car for the procession, the funeral home director wheeled out the closed casket and asked for the casket bearers to lift it up. Sara's mom looked towards the guys and Cena, Tista, Khali, Rock, Randy and Punk all immediately stepped forward to help.

The guys carried the casket out to the hurst while the girls and Mrs. Roberts followed behind.

They all filed into their cars and followed the distinct black vehicle over to the nearby cemetery. As everyone stood around the open hole in the ground, the guys slowly brought the casket over. The reverend said another prayer before asking if there was anything that anyone wanted to put in the casket with Sara.

The girls had brought a picture of the four of them together and Mrs. Roberts brought a piece of Sara's baby blanket with her. Everybody else around the grave put something in as well but as they started to lower the casket, Cody screamed out. " Wait! I almost forgot something!" before running back to the car.

When he walked back he had a cute teddy bear in his hand. " I won this at the arcade yesterday and wanted to give it to Sara."

Mrs. Roberts' nodded her approval, as Cody placed the teddy on top of the pile. Kari extricated herself from Kane and gave Cody a hug. " You didn't have to do that."

" I wanted to."

Everybody watched as Sara was slowly lowered into the ground.

After about 5 minutes of everybody staring at the hole, Mrs. Roberts' finally spoke up. " Thank you all so much for coming today. It means a lot to me. The girls here have planned for a wake at Merya's house in about an hour, so go on home and clean up and we will see you then." The crowd dispersed as everyone walked to their cars.

"We'll see you in an hour…Mom." Cleo said as she hugged Mrs. Roberts.

" Thanks girls, for everything!"

" Don't worry about it." Kari answered as she got a hug as well. Once Merya finished her hug everybody climbed into the cars. The drive back to Merya's house was silent, other than the sound of the girls still crying.

The guys were very adament about doing most of the work to set up for the wake. They didn't want the girls to have to work after everything they had been through. As the guys set up all the tables and food, the girls were upstairs cleaning their faces, trying to reduce the puffiness.

" Guys, I think we should try to get through the wake without losing it too much." Kari suggested.

"Yeah, me too. I don't even think I could cry anymore if I wanted to." Cleo agreed.

"Let's go down and help the guys out, they shouldn't be doing all the work." Merya replied before walking towards the stairs.

Once the girls made it downstairs, they were shocked to see that the guys had already finished setting everything up.

"We were just about to come get you." Rey announced when he saw the girls standing there.

"Guys, this looks amazing. You really shouldn't have done all this." Kari told the guys.

"We were happy to do it. We did leave one job for you three though." Shawn answered, grabbing the picture frame from behind him and handing it to the girls, along with the picture of the four of them.

They all smiled up at him before working together to get the picture in the frame. When they turned it over, they all studied the picture of their friend, and smiled.

"We still gotta set up the food trays though, and the party is in fifteen minutes." Matt reminded everyone as they all walked to the kitchen.

The food trays were all finished and laid around the house when people started showing up. Mrs. Roberts' was first but after that they all seemed to show up right after another.

The wake seemed to just fly by without the girls even realizing all the time passing. They were having fun with all their friends and would giggle every time somebody would look up at Khali fearfully. Before they knew it, people started leaving. After the girls said goodbye to their last friend, they were all exhausted.

As everyone readied themselves for bed again, Matt asked the question that had been nagging him all day. " So, what about the ones of us that were part of Sara's group?"

"You STAY!" Merya growled out with a smile.

Matt and the others all smiled at her before they began laughing.

"What was with the demon voice?" Kari asked her friend.

"I don't know. I just want them to stay." Merya answered with a huge smile plastered across her face.

"Then I guess we'll stay." Shannon answered.

"Well now that that is settled, let's get some sleep." Hunter announced before they all slowly drifted off to sleep.

A/N: Hmmm, Merya got close with Shawn, Cena, and Matt. I wonder if one of them will be her guy? Hint: if they are married in real life, then they are married on here.

How long are Kari/Jeff and Cleo/Rock going to take? Who is going to replace Rey and Jimmy? And what is the surprise that Jimmy's replacement is bringing with him?

Questions shall be answered within the next few chapters. I would really appreciate some reviews for this chapter, Any guesses shall be submitted in the form of a review please!

I wanna know how I did with the whole funeral thing and everything. Now since Sara's death wasn't originally a part of this story, I probably wont mention it too much more throughout the rest of it. We're moving on to happier topics now.

The more reviews I get the quicker I will get the next chapter up! I already have it half written so it all depends on you guys when it gets posted.
