(Ok the last chapter before I start my sequel and the title to that one is going to be Learning Lesson's so don't forget to read it after this one it'll take me about a couple of days to put the first chapter out. It takes place about a month after the funeral but anyways on to the funeral.)

Connor buttons up his black shirt and looked in the mirror. He looked too much like his dad now. "What's wrong?" Angel walked into the bathroom.

"I look like you." Connor fixed his hair.

"Is that a bad thing?"

"Depends if I'm mad at you or not."

"Are you mad at me?"

"No."

"Ok then it's a good thing." Angel smiled.

Connor looked at his dad and noticed the rose he was holding. "Yeah we're here laughing and I have to say goodbye to Rain forever." Kay walked into the bathroom in a black dress her hair was in a braid.

"I know and I'm sorry I can't be there but you know the whole sunlight thing." Angel frowned.

"I know that's why we're stopping by tonight before we leave."

"Yes, I would like to say goodbye too."

I'm Standing on a bridge
I'm waiting in the dark
I thought that you'd be here by now
There's nothing but the rain

"Come on guys we need to get going!" Gunn yelled he was in a black suite and a white button up tee.

"Yes let's get there. It's hard enough saying goodbye." Wesley tightened his tie.

"Well we'll see you later." Kay kissed Angel.

"Ok I promise Connor we'll go before we leave."

"All right love you." Connor hugged his dad.

"Love you too and be strong."

Connor, Kay, Wesley, and Gunn got into the Wesley's car. Kay and Connor were in the back. As they stepped out of the car at the funeral home Dawn and Buffy walked up to greet them.

"Hey you guys!" Buffy smiled.

"Hey Buffy, Dawn I see Spike couldn't make it." Wes tried to smile.

"Yeah we're actually going to stop by her grave later tonight before some slaying." Buffy sighed.

"We're going to stop by before we leave Angel wants to visit her too." Gunn nodded.

"Let's get inside." Connor mumbled.

No footsteps on the ground
I'm listening but there's no sound

Isn't anyone trying to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home

Buffy put her arm around his shoulder and walked inside. They took a seat next to the Summers. "Connor how are you doing?" Jewels asked as they sat down.

"A little better."

Mallory, her family, Cordy, Gunn, and Wes sat behind the Summers, Buffy, Dawn and Connor. Bradley, Chris and their family's sat across the isle from Mallory. The rest of the people were school friends, teachers, family friends or family members.

"We come here today to goodbye to our sister Rain Angel Chinyere-Summers. She was a smart and talented young lady." The pastor began. Tears fell down Connor's face; Buffy held his hand as tears trickled down her face.

As the service came to an end the pastor asked. "Would anyone like to say something?"

Connor stood up. "I would." Connor walked up to the podium with the rose in his hand laying it in the coffin with Rain. He then turned back to them. "I only knew Rain for a couple of weeks but we grew very close so close that we knew we we're in love. You may think that teenagers don't know what that is but we both felt it. I would of died for Rain she's was my spirit my life. She may be gone but I can still feel her touch, hear her words. I just know one thing that is very true about Rain she cared about people she would risk anything for anyone and I hope you all will remember that because I know I will." Connor turned around and laid a simple kiss on Rain's forehead. "I love you." He whispered. He then returned to his seat next to Buffy with tears in his eyes.

It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Wont you take me by the hand
take me somewhere new

Angel looked at the gravestone in front of him.

He laid the white carnations down on the earth as tears fell from his eyes. Spike patted his back and laid white roses down on the earth next to Angel's. Buffy walked up to them and laid a yellow rose on top of the gravestone, Connor set a cross necklace next to the yellow rose.

"We love you pet." Spike held Buffy in his arms.

"We have to go." Connor looked at Buffy.

I don't know who you are
but I... I'm with you

I'm looking for a place
searching for a face

"Bye kiddo. Keep out of trouble." Buffy hugged him.

"Bye mate don't hurt your dad too much." Spike shook his head. "O, bloody hell come here." Spike embraced Connor.

"Bye Spike. See you later Buffy." Connor got into he car.

"Bye Buff." Angel kissed her cheek. "Bye William." Angel hugged him.

"Bye Peaches. Kay you take care of him you hear."

Is anybody here I know
cause nothings going right
and everything a mess
and no one likes to be alone

"Connor wait!" Dawn ran up to the car.

Connor stepped out of the car. "What?"

Mallory walked up behind him. "Bye Connor." Tears fell from Mallory's eyes.

"Goodbye Mallory you'll be fine."

"She would have been better." Mallory cried into his shoulder.

"Then make her proud." Connor pulled her back and hugged Dawn. "You watch after her ok?" He whispered.

"All right." Dawn rubbed his back and let go.

Isn't anyone trying to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Wont you take me by the hand

"Goodbye Dawnie." Angel hugged her.

"Bye Angel you look after him." Dawn smiled.

"I will you look after Spike and Buffy ok?"

"All right."

"Bye Kay." Dawn smiled.

"Bye Dawn." Kay reached out her hand and Dawn shook it.

"Nice seeing you again Wes." Buffy waved.

"You too Buffy."

"Nice seeing you too Gunn."

"And the same to you." Gunn started the car. "Are we ready?"

Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
but I... I'm with you

Oh why is everything so confusing
maybe I'm just out of my mind
yea yea yea

"Yeah see you guys maybe around Christmas." Angel smiled.

"Of course." Buffy waved.

Connor step in the car looking back at Rain's grave tears falling down his face. "Bye Rain."

"Goodbye Connor." Willow and Xander stood next to Buffy and Spike.

"Bye you two." Connor got into the car.

It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Wont you take me by the hand
take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
but I... I'm with you

Take me by the hand

************************************************************************

"Bye Connor. I'll be with you always in your dreams." Rain blew Connor a kiss from the spot on her grave. "Too bad he can't see me." Her mom touched her.

"Let's go Rain. He'll see you again." Rain was back watching Connor from above.

Tears glided down her face as she watched Connor tears file down Connor's.

"Don't forget me." She whispered.

Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
but I... I'm with you
I'm with you

Take me by the hand
take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
but I... I'm with you
I'm with you
I'm with you...

(Connor knows deep down he'll never be able to find love like Rain and he had and in the back of his mind he still blames his father what kind of trouble will come out of that? Well you have to review this and you'll find out.)
