Four days later:

The rest of the family was gathered around the altar and the two caskets that occupied it. Everyone felt like crying. Slowly everyone took their seats in the small church as the priest took his place behind the human sized boxes.

"Welcome everyone; I am sorry that we have to join together today to celebrate such a sorrowful event. We are here not only to mourn, but to remember two amazing people. Kelly Christine Smith and Alan Jacob Smith were loved by many. Before we start the blessings there are a few people who would like to say a few words; first one of their best friends Rex."

X-ray got up from his spot in the front pew and walked to the podium. He took a deep breath and tried to settle the lump in his throat, once he cleared his throat and took another deep breath he began.

"Most of you called them Kelly and Alan, but to a few of us they were Kandy and Squid. Kandy and Squid were two of the most amazing people I have ever met. They had a love for each other that was so passionate that no matter what it was put through it was only strengthened. When I try to comprehend what has happened in the last three days nothing but misery is brought to my mind. I know the world is a little less bright without these two souls living on its grounds."

X-ray cleared his throat as the lump that occupied it grew in size.

"I remember the first time I saw both of them. Squid was a tall, gangly, and awkward kid at first, but his grew to be one of the best fathers, husband, scientist, and friend that I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Squid, even though he was a little more quite than some of the other boys that I know, still showed me the best time every time I was with him, that is why we were such good friends from the beginning.

Kandy on the other hand was nothing close to quiet; as I am sure you all are aware."

There were quiet laughs heard through out the church. X-ray looked up from the notes he had made on a small piece of paper and saw the guys from d-tent smiling for what seemed like an hour until the moment passed only a second later.

"When I first saw Kandy I noticed her beauty, but as soon as I got to know her I knew that her outer appearance was only the beginning of such more beautiful things to come from her. She was truly one of the most caring and thoughtful people I have ever met. I know that there are others who need to speak, so I will make this short and sweet. Squid, Kandy thanks for all the laughs, good times, and support through everything you two are truly an inspiration to me and you will be missed for many years to come I am proud to say you were two of my best friends. Thank you."

There was an outburst of applause. When X-ray looked around he was relived that there were only a few people crying in the pews that surrounded the altar. He always hated to make people cry, and he thought that bringing tears to only a few people's eyes was considered a success. As X-ray took his seat quietly the priest got up and introduced one of Squid's coworkers at the lab. He talked for a few minutes mostly about what a fun person Squid was to work with, and then when he was finished Nevaeh was introduced. She got up from her seat and composed herself and walked up to the altar.

Nevaeh was just as beautiful as she was when she was born. She had the same striking looks and warm smile. As she took her place at the podium she calmed her small case of nerves and took a deep breath.

"To some of you they were Kelly and Alan, to others they were Kandy and Squid, but to me they were Mom and Dad. My mother and father were two of the most inspirational people I have ever known. Not only did they show the most compassionate love I have ever seen through out their entire life, but they showed that same love and compassion for me.

I was considered a miracle child when I was born. My father every single day prayed and thanked god for letting me live and be a part of his life. My mother went through an extremely painful, long, and dramatic labor to bring me into this world. They have done nothing short of everything for me, and I can only hope that I have given them a little pride in return.

When I was young I was very quite, but my father use to stick up for me when people tried to get me to talk. He use to say she is brilliant and when people would ask how he knew, I never said anything he would simply say her eyes tell everything. My mother use to help me through everything. She helped me through my first love, my first heart break, and my first moments of absolute joy. I don't know how many girls can say that their mother was their best friend, but I was proud to know that I can honestly say that my mother was my best friend."

Nevaeh stopped for a moment as she could feel the tears start to fall. She tried to hold them back, but they continued to fall harder.

"I would like to take a moment to thank all of you for coming out here to say good bye to my mom and dad. It really means a lot."

More tears fell as Nevaeh said this.

"When I first found out that my mother had cancer I didn't know what to do with myself. I didn't know what to think. How do you deal with your mother, best friend, and guardian getting cancer? We use to talk for hours on end late into the night, and I remember a conversation we had a few weeks ago. I asked her if she was afraid of dying, and she said that the only thing she was afraid of was having to life a life that didn't have the people she loved in it."

Nevaeh continued to cry, only the tears got more violent, and was joined by the tears of almost every other person in the room.

"I know that it would have meant a lot to her if she could have seen how many people considered her their friend."

Nevaeh smiled as she looked around the room.

"I also recall a similar conversation I had with my father. I asked him if everything was going to be alright, and he said as long as he had me, my mother and everyone else that was close to him things were going to be just fine."

Now everyone was crying. There was not a dry eye in the entire room. Nevaeh fought to keep going as she continued to let the tears fall freely.

"My mother once said that you cried when your soul was bleeding. I can see now that all of you are crying, and I know exactly what is hurting your soul. It is the same thing that hurt my father's soul and made his bleed to death. If you look at the tombstone it says his reason for death is unknown, well that is because it is impossible to prove death of a broken heart. My father loved my mother more than anything, and I wanted more than anything to be loved by someone, the way my father loved my mother, but it took something this tragic to realize that they were both loving me with the same love they had for each other, and now I find some comfort in that. I know that I am not alone, and I know that I will never have to face anything by myself. I can feel that my parents are with me and I hope that I can face life with half the courage that they have shown during their lives. I love you mom and dad, and I miss you, but I know everything is going to be alright. Some of you might think that this is the end of Kelly and Alan, but this is only the beginning. Thank you."

Nevaeh quickly got down from the podium and everyone clapped. There were tears in everyone's eyes. She took her seat next to her husband and broke down into tears. She was so sad, that she didn't think that anyone could understand. She was left, like everyone else who knew Kandy and Squid, alone and full of despair. After the priest said a few words and prayers everyone walked out into the cemetery. As each shovel was placed on the two caskets that were laid side by side slowly covered the wood it felt like a piece of everyone's heart was being buried with them too.

Once the ceremony was over, one by one flowers were placed on the graves and the shadows of people slowly faded until it was only D-tent remaining. Magnet walked over to Kandy and Squid's grave and placed a small bouquet of flowers and whispered.

"I'm really going to miss you guys."

Magnet took a step back and let Armpit through. He placed his flowers and wiped a tear from his eyes and tried to force a smile.

"Don't worry; I don't hate ya for leaving us like this. We still love ya. Oh yah and Squid, I guess that I can forgive you for all the times you beat me in pool."

Everyone laughed as Armpit stepped back and let Zigzag through. He set down his flowers and bent down so he was really close to the freshly dug dirty.

"You guys mean so much to me, I'm sorry I didn't tell you that more often. I hope you are in a better place, you disserve it."

Zigzag wiped his tears and let through X-ray. X-ray's steps were slow and you could tell he was thinking. He squatted down next to graves and placed down a modest display of flowers.

"I'm sorry I couldn't get you a better bouquet of flowers..." X-ray smiled to himself and then lowered his voice so no one else could hear him. "I don't really know what to say, it is too hard to say good-bye to your best friends, but I guess I will just tell you the truth. You guys were always my best friends and this world isn't as good without you. I hope you're finally at peace. I miss you guys, and I love you."

X-ray began to cry. As he turned around Armpit placed a hand on his shoulder.

"X-ray man, are you getting soft on us?"

"Nah, I have allergies."

Magnet laughed. "Then why are you crying? I didn't know that allergies did that to people." X-ray smiled through his tears.

"I guess I'm crying for the same reason you all are…I'm really gonna miss them."

The rest of the boys fell silent as the sun began to set in front of them. They each took another glance at their friend's graves and then turned and walked back to the parking lot. Looking at the four boys leave the cemetery, something felt wrong. It was obvious, there were two people missing from the group, a part of D-tent's heart was gone and it was not going unnoticed. Even though all of the boys felt a little emptier with Kandy and Squid gone, they also felt a little more reassured knowing that they were finally happy and were in a place that was worthy to have them in it. The boys walked side by side until they finally reached their cars. They said their good byes and promised that the next time they got together it would not be on a sad event, and one by one the remaining members of D-tent started their car and drove away, until only Magnet was left. He was probably the most heart broken of them all. He looked back at the cemetery and saw their graves poking out of the ground, and he smiled. The beauty of the sunset surrounded them and their final resting places were devoured by flowers. Magnet smiled and finally felt that everything was right. He took one last glance at the beauty that was surrounding him and his friends and laughed. Everything was finally alright.

The End
