The Lone Gunmen by Jimmy Bond
Today I cried, because three heroes died. No one ever expected it to end this way, but who can predict heroic gestures? They fought in the right fights, and pushed for the truth. But in my mind they're not really dead, because their legacy will live on. The things they taught me, the hope they brought me, it's all a simple memory in my mind that I will think of every time when I'm loosing my hope or feeling lost in all the chaos. All I ever wanted was just to be a part of that perfect friendship they had. I don't know how they thought of me, a nuisance, a friend, maybe just a source of cash flow. But however it was, I will always miss them and the way they lived. They were brave and certain, always after what they believed in. They were the best part of my life, the family I never had, the brothers who would pick on me, and the brothers that really cared. I'm going to miss them, I know that for a fact, but with out them I wouldn't even be here to know that. Frohike never cared for anyone, at least that's what he thought. But he was the most caring guy around and he had the biggest heart. Byers, the neat freak. He knew what it was like to be betrayed, to love, to have his heart broken. None of that ever stopped him, or made him loose faith in his beliefs. Langly was one of a kind, true to his word. Some think he was just nuts, but when he had a goal no one would ever stop him. They were three of the strangest guys you'd ever meet, but they had guts, and courage, and everything they ever really wanted. They gave their lives to save thousands of others. If they had to do it again, I know they would. But if I could have taken their places, I would have done it in a heartbeat. They were my family and my best friends; the Lone Gunmen were, and still are, immortal.
