Chapter 1: Tragic Depressing News
Adelaide, Becca and Stanley were in the waiting room. Sid had been injured in a falling avalanche while snowboarding in the snowy mountains.
"Mother? Daddy? is Sid gonna be alright?" Adelaide asked them in concern.
"We don't know, Adelaide. but this is the best hospital in Great Lakes City. Sid's getting the best care and treatment there is." Becca said to her.
Just then, Dr. Lawthorne stepped right up to the waiting room.
"Dr. Lawthorne. how's our dear sweet Sid? is she gonna be alright?"
"I'm terribly sorry, Becca and Stanley. but Sid's injuries are just too deadly for me to save her right now. I don't know exactly how much time she's got left to live. so I guess you can just go right in there and say your goodbyes." Dr. Lawthorne said to them as the Chang family members gasped in shock.
They went right into Sid's hospital room and Adelaide went right over to Sid's hospital bed.
"Sid, please. you can't leave me alone for good. I don't know what we would do without you here." Adelaide said to her while close to crying and weeping just as Sid looked right at her with weak eyes.
"Now don't worry about it, Adelaide. I'm always gonna be with you, Mom, Dad, Grandma Felicia, Uncle Bruce, Aunt Nancy and our cousins, Ian and Sophie as well. especially with Lincoln, Clyde, Ronnie Anne, Nikki, Casey and Sameer. even though you're not gonna be able to see me."
"Sid? is this really true? you're gonna pass away real soon?" Becca asked her as Sid looked right at Ronnie Anne who was visiting her as well.
"Ronnie Anne? I want you to have this golden locket. that way you won't forget about me." Sid said to her best friend for life as she gave Ronnie Anne the golden locket."
"Thanks a bunch, Sid. I always knew I could really count on you." Ronnie Anne said to her as Sid had 1 more gift to give Adelaide as well."
"and, Adelaide? I'm giving you this framed photo of me. that way I'll always remain in your heart and mind." Sid said to her younger sister as she was about to pass away real soon from her injuries and she gave Adelaide the framed photo of her as well."
"Thanks a bunch. now I can put this right on my night stand and never forget about you." Adelaide said to her with tear stained eyes as she had already wished this day had never come at all.
"Thanks a bunch, you guys. I always wanted to live in the city town with all of you." Sid said to them as she passed away peacefully from her injuries right in front of them.
"Oh my word," Stanley said to himself.
"she's gone for good right now." Becca said to herself.
"Sid? please. don't leave me alone here by myself. you can't go where I can't follow you around." Adelaide said to her now deceased brave, fearless and heroic sister as she began crying and weeping on Sid's hospital bed. then eventually, she stood right up and exited Sid's hospital room crying and weeping uncontrollably.
"I just can't believe my best friend for life's gone for good right now. she was super brave, fearless and heroic." Ronnie Anne said to herself depressingly.
"Adelaide, come back! wait!" Stanley called out to their 2nd born daughter as Adelaide didn't hear them. she ran right out and sat right in 1 of the waiting room chairs sobbing heavily in her knee caps.
Just then, Nurse Reynolds walked right into the waiting room.
"Holy Toledo. what just happened here?" Nurse Reynolds asked Ronnie Anne and the surviving Chang family members.
"Oh, Nurse Reynolds. thank goodness you're here. our daughter, a bit freaked out and upset over the passing of her dear brave fearless and heroic sister, had a bit of a trauma here." Becca said to her as Nurse Reynolds looked right down at Adelaide with condolences.
"Well. I suggest you all go right back home to your apartments." Nurse Reynolds said to them as they all agreed with her and went right back home to their separate apartments.
On the Loud family members' 2nd apartment floor, Lincoln, Lori, Leni, Luna, Lynn, Luan, Lisa, Lana, Lola, Lucy, Lily, Rita and Lynn Loud Sr. were all concerned for not only Adelaide, Becca and Stanley but for Ronnie Anne as well.
"Oh my gosh. poor Ronnie Anne must be super depressed, sorrowful and heartbroken about what just happened to her best friend for life." Leni said to herself in a worried and concerned tone of voice.
"So would I, Leni. I don't know exactly what I would do if I lost Lola." Lana said to her as she sighed heavily.
"Poo-Poo." ("Agreed.") Lily said to them as she agreed with her siblings and parents as well.
"Hey. you know what? maybe I can make something for Ronnie Anne to offer my condolences to her." Lincoln said to them as his parents and sisters were looking right at him."
"And how exactly are you gonna do that?" Lynn asked him.
"Well. we can make a memory board with photos of her and Sid together as always. Lincoln said to them as his parents and sisters agreed with him.
"That's literally a super good idea, Lincoln. let's begin right away." Lori said to him as they began setting out to work on the memorial board.
"Let's try not to get too carried away here." Lucy said to them as she and Lisa were following along with them.
"Poor Ronnie Anne. I'm feeling terribly sorry for her." Lisa said to herself.
Meanwhile at the Chang family members' apartment, Adelaide was sobbing heavily on her bed and looking right at the photo of her late brave, fearless and heroic sister and began having flashback memories. The 1st flashback sequence was when she showed Ronnie Anne and Sid that she could jump right over a baseball bat.
"Hey, Ronnie Anne, Sid. watch me jump right over this baseball bat." Adelaide said to them as she jumped right over the baseball bat and Ronnie Anne and Sid watched her in surprise and amazement.
"Wow, Adelaide. that's super incredible." Ronnie Anne said to her.
"you're super athletic. how'd you ever do that? Sid asked her.
"I don't know. but I been super good at it." Adelaide said to them.
The 2nd and final flashback was when she and Sid were playing Frisbee with 1 another.
"Adelaide. catch the flying Frisbee." Sid said to her as Adelaide caught the bright blue Frisbee.
"Super good job. you're getting super good at it." Sid said to her while congratulating her younger sister as Adelaide smiled at her in agreement.
Right after the flashback sequences had already ended, Felicia sat right on Adelaide's bed and began giving her condolences to her.
"We should let the Louds, Santiagos, McBrides and Casagrandes know exactly what a super good girl your sister was." Felicia said to her 2nd born granddaughter as Adelaide nodded her head and began sobbing heavily.
"I-I-I-I really miss her more than anything, Grandma Felicia." Adelaide said to her between sobs and weeps.
"Come right over here, Adelaide." Felicia said to her as she began consoling her as well.
"There now. everything's gonna be alright. we're gonna make it right through this. she wouldn't've wanted to see you depressed, sorrowful and heartbroken." Felicia said to Adelaide as she continued crying and weeping a bit.
"I know that, Grandma Felicia. but just why so soon?" Adelaide asked her between sobs and weeps.
"Sometimes these things happen. but I promise you that things are gonna be just perfectly fine." Felicia said to her as Adelaide stopped crying and weeping a bit.
"I really love you more than anything, Grandma Felicia." Adelaide said to her.
"and I really love you more than anything as well too, Adelaide." Felicia said to her as well.
Chapter 2: Condolences at Great Lakes City Middle School
Right after language arts, math, science, social studies and gym class, some students, except Ronnie Anne and Agnes Johnson had already made their leave. Agnes Johnson gave her an excuse note.
"Ms. Johnson? I don't really know what to say about this." Ronnie Anne said to her depressingly as Agnes Johnson looked right at her.
"I know, Ronnie Anne. but you need to heal your emotions. I lost my mother due to brain cancer last year. so I know exactly how it really feels. you just hang in there. they'll get better in the nick of time.
In the school hallways, Nikki, Casey, Sameer and Laird were also mourning and grieving over Sid's passing.
"I just can't believe Sid's gone for good right now," Nikki said to herself.
"she was super young, brave, fearless and heroic." Casey said to himself.
On the way back home to the Loud-Santiago- Casagrande-McBride Apartment, Lincoln noticed Ronnie Anne and walked right up to her.
"Ronnie Anne. I just heard about your best friend for life. and I'm terribly sorry to hear about that." Lincoln said to her as Ronnie Anne sighed depressingly.
Chapter 3: The funeral ceremony
About 1 week later, good friends and true family members of Sid have gathered for her closed casket funeral service.
(Becca was sobbing heavily on Stanley's right shoulder.)
"We know, Becca. we know." Stanley said to her as Boris and Nancy looked right at their 1st born niece's closed dark pink casket.
Nancy wiped away her tear drops. "She's with their Grandpa Jeff in the skies of heaven right now." Grandma Lulu said to herself as well.
Lynn Loud Sr. looked right down at Sid's closed dark pink casket. "This is just terrible, horrible, terrible." Rita puts her right hand on Howard's right shoulder just as he cried and wept over their deceased next door neighbor, then Carlos and Frida walked right up.
"I know things went super crazy sometimes, but..." Carlos choked up then turned right over to Frida and wept silently on her right shoulder.
Lisa walked right up to the golden casket.
"Sid, you were our super good friend. and may the Great Lakes City Zoo be safe and secure in your memories." Lisa cried a bit just as Lucy had her right hand on her right shoulder.
Lincoln, Clyde, Ronnie Anne, Lana, Lola and Adelaide stood right next to the closed dark pink casket.
"Sid. why did you need to pass away? Why?" Adelaide asked the skies of heaven with tear drops in her eyes.
"It's just not fair, Adelaide. it's just not fair at all." Lincoln said to her.
"1st we lost Pop-Pop, then Adelaide's Grandpa Jeff and sister, Sid in the exact same year, no less." Clyde said to himself while looking right at the closed dark pink casket and his best friends for life and the Loud sisters at the exact same time.
"This is just tragically depressing." Ronnie Anne said to herself.
"This doesn't seem real to all of us." Lucy said to herself.
Lincoln looked right at Clyde who was now silent. "Clyde? are you alright?" Lincoln asked her.
"My best friend for life and 1 true love's deceased. how do you think I am, Lincoln?" Clyde broke down in depression. "I'm terribly Sorry." he said to him.
"Well Don't be." Lincoln said to him.
"How are you all doing?" Rosa came right up asking Lincoln, Clyde, Ronnie Anne, Lana, Lola, Lucy and Adelaide.
"Well, Abuela." Ronnie Anne said to Rosa. "my best friend for life's off in a much better place in the skies of heaven right now."
"I know that, Ronalda. but that's part of the great mystery of life, you just don't know how much time you have left to live." Rosa said to her.
"Hey. they're beginning the funeral service." Bobby said to them.
Everybody sat right down, Adelaide sat right next to Becca, Stanley, Nancy, Boris, Ian, Sophie and Felicia. Lincoln, Clyde, Ronnie Anne, Carl and the others sat right behind them.
Carlos went right up and spoke about their neighborly relationship with his super good neighbor. then Frida walked right up and struggled through her speech just as she almost silently wept throughout the entire service.
Lisa, Lana and Lola got right up and they all sang a karaoke song and while they were doing that, Becca, Stanley, Boris, Nancy, Ian, Sophie and Felicia had silent tear drops coming right outta their eyes. Becca and Stanley had their arms around them while they sat right back just as tear drops came from their eyes and they felt some hands on their right shoulders, so they looked right back to see them giving them depressed smiling faces. The Chang family members smiled at them then sat frontwards losing their smiling faces when they looked right at the closed dark pink casket.
Reverend Gunderson walked right up and asked if there was anybody left who wanted to say some words to which Adelaide said she'll do it.
Adelaide walked right up to the podium and looked at her best friends for life and true family members.
"Good luck with your eulogy speech, Adelaide." Lincoln said to her.
"Thanks for being here, everybody. my brave, fearless and heroic sister would've appreciated how much you all cared so much about her." she began her eulogy speech. "I didn't have enough courage and bravery to speak at my Grandpa Jeff's funeral ceremony. and it was Sid who gave me that courage and bravery. she was our brave young hero and best friend for life. we all looked up to her." Adelaide teared up a bit. "and I-" tear drops began going down her face. "I just wish that she was still here." she said to herself just as she slowly broke down. "my mother and daddy wish that he was still here and my Uncle Boris, Aunt Nancy, Grandma Felicia and cousins and even Lincoln, Clyde and Ronnie Anne wish that she was still here." she began breaking down at the podium so Lincoln, Clyde, Ronnie Anne , Carl, Lana, Lola and Lucy got right up from their seats and walked right up to her and put their hands on her shoulders.
"It's gonna be alright, Adelaide." Lola said to her.
"We're here for you, Adelaide." Carl said to her.
"Lincoln, you guys." she said to her best friends for life and the Loud sisters.
"You're not left alone, Adelaide." Lucy said to her.
"You guys." Adelaide said to them.
"We're all here for you, Adelaide." Ronnie Anne said to her while Lincoln was right next to her.
"Always in our hearts and minds. just like Pop-Pop, your Grandpa Jeff and your brave, fearless and heroic sister as well." Lincoln said to her as well.
"Thanks a bunch, you guys." Adelaide said to them then cleared her throat. "Sid was a super nice and clever young girl." "I remember a super good story that Ronnie Anne told me. 1 time when they went out walking and the city cats were attacking. she used a golden dog whistle to call the city dogs."
Everybody began laughing a bit "You just can't forget about it."
Becca cleaned away her tear drops just as Adelaide continued her speech.
"Thanks a bunch, Sid. for all of your true love. I'll miss you more than anything. goodbye." Adelaide said to herself then they joined her in a group cuddle just as the entire crowd applauded
"Thanks a bunch, you guys." Adelaide said to them.
"No problem." Carl said to her.
