a/n: this chapter is based on the Evanessence song 'My Last Breath'. Of course, I do not own this song, it belongs to the great band, Evanessence.
The ship touched lightly on the planet and almost immediately, Nova ran out of the ship to Sky's side.

Hold on to me love
You know I can't stay long
All I wanted to say was I love you and I'm not afraid
Can you hear me?
Can you feel me in your arms?

"Sky," Nova said softly.
"Hello, Nova," Sky whispered. She coughed. "I'm not going to live, Nova."
"Yes you are," Nova said softly, "we're going to take you back to the temple and you'll get healed."
___________________________________________
Holding my last breath
Safe inside myself
Are all my thoughts of you
Sweet raptured light
It ends here tonight
___________________________________________
"No, Nova," Sky said softly, "You know I won't survive."
"Yes you will, Sky," Nova cried, "you'll get healed and we'll marry and have children and we'll be happy."
Now, all the people from the ship were observing the tragic scene.

I'll miss the winter
A world of fragile things
Look for me in the white forest
Hiding in a hollow tree (come find me)
I know you hear me
I can taste it in your tears
_____________________________________________
"I love you Nova," Sky said softly. "Don't mourn for me."
"Sky, you're not leaving," Nova cried, "please don't leave me."

Holding my last breath

Are all my thoughts of you
Sweet raptured light

Elaina began to weep. Elementari's eyes filled with tears. Kitty sobbed into Anakin's shoulder. Anakin shuddered at the dreadful scene. Blake and Sakura held each other for support.
_____________________________________________
Closing your eyes to disappear
You pray your dreams will leave you here
But still you wake and know the truth
No one's there

"I love you, Nova," Sky said softly. "I always will. I'll be waiting for you. Protect the Powerful One, Nova, for me." And she let out one last breath, before dieing.
"Sky," Nova sobbed, "No, Sky."

Say goodnight
Don't be afraid
Calling me, calling me, as you fade to black

Nova sobbed into Sky's lifeless body.
"Sky, come back, please come back," he sobbed.
"Nova," Elaina walked over to him, weeping. "Nova, I'm so sorry."
Nova stood up and grabbed Elaina into a hug. The two, the most closest to Sky, held each other and wept.
Sakura cried into Blake's shoulder, while Blake sobbed, his tears falling into Sakura's hair. Anakin held Kitty, as she sobbed, weeping himself. Elementari fell to the ground and bent over, tears streaming to the ground.
Nova pulled away from Elaina and walked over to Kitty, wrapping his arm around her shoulder, he brought her onto the ship. The others followed. Nova, Anakin and Blake came back a few minutes later and lifted Sky's body into the ship. They laid her down on a bed in a spare room and covered her with a blanket. Nova kissed her on the lips.
"I'll see you again, Sky," Nova smiled and walked out of the room.
~***~
The next few days at the temple were full of grief for Sky, and the Masters whom gave their lives to protect Kitty. The funeral for Sky was magnificent. Beautiful blue orchids were found all around. They buried Sky on her home planet, Corellia. Nova gave an excellent speech about Sky. But the best had to be Elaina's speech.
"I've knew Sky since I was very little," Elaina began, "she was my best friend, practically a sister. We shared everything and did everything together. Masters said we were inseparable. When we became Padawans, we didn't see each other as much, but still kept a tight bond. She was a helpful friend, always there when her friends needed her. She was mischievous, and we often pulled pranks on Masters and fellow students. She was calm and patient, but had a bad temper. She was the sweetest girl I knew, and she'll always be in my heart. Goodbye, Sky, I'll see you again, old friend."
The gang paid their tributes to Sky and went back to the temple. Nova stared out of the window all the way back to the temple.
"Nova?" Elaina asked, sitting down beside Nova.
"Yes?" Nova replied, his voice a little shaky.
"Are you alright?" Elaina asked, quite concerned.
"Yes, I'm fine," Nova replied. He turned to look at Elaina.
"You miss her, don't you?" Elaina said softly.
"With all my heart," Nova said.
"Oh, Nova," Elaina hugged him. "She's watching you, she is waiting for you. But don't go to her just yet. You have to protect Kitty, of course."
"I know," Nova said, into Elaina's shoulder, "she'll just have to wait a little longer."
"As much as she'll hate waiting, you know how Sky is about waiting," Elaina laughed, tears streaming down her cheeks.
"Yeah," Nova laughed, "as much as she is going to hate it, she'll just have to wait."
a/n: ahahahahahahahahahahaha, I killed myself off, sweet eh? Lol, please please PLEASE review. Only one more chapter, the epilogue. Heehee.
