Hello again, everyone! BOO! HAHAHAHAHAHA! I scared you all again! That was very funny, wasn't it? Yeah, it sure was. Now, this is not only chapter 8 of this very spooky Halloween story, but this is also the 4th part of the actual "Codename: Kids Next Door" lost episode that Edward and David are still watching together. This one won't be as disturbing as the previous part was, as this one will be very...sad and depressing. Yep, this part will be very sad as some lost episode creepypastas in the past have utilized sad parts taking place in between the spooky and gory ones. This is coming in some lost episode creepypastas. After this chapter is over, there will be a 5th and final part of the actual "Codename: Kids Next Door" lost episode in the 9th chapter. So, let's all sit back, relax, have some popcorn, soda, and candy, and finally begin chapter 8 of this very spooky Halloween story!
The episode continued as the setting transitioned from the black screen to an overhead look at an animated cemetery. This was a very unusual setting twist to both Edward and David as the original "Codename: Kids Next Door" cartoon NEVER showed a location like that. As a matter of fact, due to the fact that the show was not an educational one like "Arthur" on "PBS Kids" was, so therefore, it never dealt with serious real-life issues like divorce, cancer, bullying, mental illnesses, or even death for that matter. For a kid's cartoon meant for nothing but pure entertainment only, this twist was very...surprising and depressing to say the least.
The camera cut to a white church building located several minutes away from the cemetery, and sad music began to play in the background once again. The scene then cut to the inside of the church building, in which all the long benchseats were filled with family members, relatives, and friends of Fanny Fulbright, all attending none other than Fanny's funeral. The family members and relatives of Fanny in attendance included her mother Mrs. Fulbright, her father Mr. Boss (who was the one responsible for her death), and several aunts, uncles, and cousins. Some of these cousins seen in the background where new characters that nether Edward nor David had ever seen before...
"Pardon me for saying this, but I don't think I've seen any of those characters in the background before." remarked Edward confused at what he saw onscreen, "I mean, you and I both know Sector V, Numbuh 362, Joey, Cree, and a few others. But there's many new characters in the background either red or brown hair. Who do you think those characters are, David?"
"I...have no idea, bro." replied David, "But...I think they're probably just relatives and family members of Numbuh 86. It can't be anything else."
Edward nodded at David's theory and continued watching the episode with him. The friends attending the funeral included Rachel T. McKenzie (Numbuh 362) with her mother and father, Numbuh 1 (Nigel Uno) with his mother and father, Numbuh 2 (Hoagie Gilligan) with his mother Betty Gilligan, Numbuh 3 (Kuki Sanban) with her mother, father, and her younger sister Mushi Sanban, Numbuh 4 (Wallabee Beatles) with his parents and his little brother Joey, and Numbuh 5 (Abigail Lincoln) with her mother and father, as well as her teenage sister Cree (who was keeping her secret of attending Numbuh 86's execution from her younger sister and her parents. However, the one person who didn't attend was Benedict Uno (who was the brother of Nigel's father, Monty Uno), because he was secretly the person behind the evil villain, Father, the CEO of "Evil Adult Industries".
A few other people attending Numbuh 86's funeral included Mrs. Thompson, the elementary school teacher of Sector V and others, hall monitor Joe Balooka, Sonia, Lee, Numbuh 363 (Numbuh 362's younger brother), Fanny's younger brothers Paddy and Shaunie, Nigel Uno's former girlfriend Lizzie Devine, and many more. Everyone attending the funeral service wore either black suits and ties or black dresses, all being worn to pay respect for Fanny and her family. At the very front of the church, next to the priest's speaking podium, was a dark brown oak coffin, opened up to reveal Fanny's dead body, wearing a black dress and a fancy black hat on her red hair.
A lady wearing a black dress was positioned on the far left side of the stage, playing a church organ, playing a sad music tune in the background. The priest conducting the funeral service, wearing a black suit and tie, entered the front area of the church via a door on the right, and stood behind the podium. At that point, the lady playing the organ stopped playing the music, turned off the organ, and just sat there, waiting for the appropriate time to play music again. The priest then turned on the microphone, and quickly got everyone's attention, starting the funeral service. The priest seemed to be voiced by none other than Rev Al Sharpton himself, which surprised both Edward and David, as the original cartoon NEVER had any guest star voice actors...
"Good afternoon everyone. I'm Pastor Bob Cole here at Gallagher Christian Church. Welcome to the memorial service of the Fulbright family, in honor of Fanny Fulbright, who sadly passed away yesterday at 8:00am." said the priest, "She was a beautiful and bold girl who had a bright childhood and a great life even though it was cut short. She was found dead by her father, Mr. Fulbright, at the same time of her 8:00am passing, and it was discovered that she had been hung to death, killed by a homicide, but the killer has not been discovered yet. Today, we are here not to find out or speculate on who was the murderer of this young girl, but to celebrate the life of her and finally, say goodbye to her, as she now in the care of our lord, Jesus Christ. First, we'll start off with a prepared eulogy from Fanny's father, Mr. Fulbright."
The priest then stood aside next to the podium on the right, and Mr. Boss slowly arose from his bench seat at the front row on the left, where he was seated. He then quietly walked up the aisle in the center of the church, past the open coffin with his dead daughter inside, and up onto the 1-foot tall stage. He then sniffed to hold back tears, stood behind the podium, and began to speak his entire prepared eulogy into the microphone...
"F-Fanny Fulbright, also known as my Fanny-pants, was the best and only daughter I've ever head..." said Mr. Boss while still trying to hold back his tears at the same time, "W-when my wife and I first discovered we were going to have a child, I was very excited despite the long period of time we'd both have to wait. But then, 9 months later, we were b-blessed with our beautiful baby girl, who of course, was F-Fanny Fulbright. About 3 years later, my first son and second child, Shaunie, was born, followed by Paddy only another year later. Since then, my three children have been the p-pride of my l-life. E-even though Fanny is now dead due to a mysterious homicide, I-I will continue to remember her, honor her, and celebrate her life until the day I die in the future and join her in Heaven. F-Fanny...I-I miss you and...I-I...I love you!"
At that point, Mr. Boss couldn't hold anything back anymore, and he burst out crying as he ended his eulogy. He walked down from the stage, and rushed back to his seat while crying. As he sat back down in his bench seat, Paddy, Shaunie, and Mrs. Fulbright comforted Mr. Boss by hugging him tightly and trying to assure him that everything would be okay in the end. However, despite the reassurances from his wife and sons, he just couldn't stop crying and get over it. He wasn't just sad over his daughter's death, but also was guilty since he was the reason for Fanny's death. However, since no one else knew about the execution of Fanny or Mr. Boss's employment at "Evil Adult Industries", everyone else assumed it was caused by a murderer who has since escaped justice. Mr. Boss kept this secret from his family as he never wanted to face justice or criminal prosecution for his actions. Instead, he would be punished by the pain and the guilt of his involvement in his daughter's death. As his wife and sons did their best to comfort Mr. Boss, the priest stood back behind the podium and began to speak back into the microphone again...
"Thank you Mr. Fulbright." said the priest, "All of our hearts go out to you and your family during this very tragic and difficult time for all of you. And now, we'll hear a eulogy from Fanny's best friend of many years, Rachel T. McKenzie. Rachel, come on up here please."
Rachel nodded in reply and got up from her assigned benchseat. She walked up the aisle towards the stage, walking past Fanny's open coffin along the way. As she did, the priest pulled out a stool from behind him and placed it in front of the podium for her to stand up on, and reach the microphone to deliver her speech. Rachel then got up onto the stage, stood up onto the stool, and began speaking her eulogy into the microphone...
"T-thank you, sir." said Rachel into the microphone, who was also struggling to hold back her tears as she made her eulogy, "First of all, it w-warms my heart to see all of you taking the time out of your d-day to come and pay your respects to my friend, Fanny Fulbright, who is now watching us all from above in Heaven. Ever since we met each other back in first grade, Fanny and I had been best friends. We'd go out and ride bikes together, enjoy movies at the theater together, collect and play with Rainbow Monkeys, play some sports together, have occasional sleepovers at each other's houses, and even share snacks together. She was a great friend of mine a-and it is tragic to see her killed by a crazy person like this. Fanny was also a good friend back to me whenever she would defend me from bullies, showing me she really did care about not just herself and others, but me as well. F-Fanny...f-friend...I'll M-M-MISS YOU VERY MUCH! G-g-g-g-goodbye!"
And with that being said, Rachel carefully stepped down from the stool, and stepped down off the stage. She walked past Fanny's coffin, back down the aisle, and she sat back down onto her assigned benchseat. As she did, she began to cry with tears running down both of her cheeks. The priest proceeded to remove the stool from behind the podium, put it away, and stand behind the podium again. He then proceeded to speak into the microphone again...
"Thank you, Rachel. I'm deeply sorry for the loss of your best friend." said the priest, "And now, a eulogy from Nigel Uno, one of Fanny's classmates who went to kindergarten with her back when he was only 5 years old. Nigel Uno, whenever you're ready, come on up here, and present you're eulogy."
The priest then stepped back, placed the stool back in front of the podium, and stood next to it on the right. At that point, Nigel got up from his assigned bench seat, walked all the way down the aisle, went past Fanny's open coffin, and got up onto the stage. Nigel then got up onto the stool behind the podium, and began to speak into the microphone...
"T-today, I'm here to say goodbye for a former kindergarten friend of mine, Fanny Fulbright." said Nigel, as he also tried to fight back his tears, "Fanny w-was a good girl and a decent friend for anyone to hang around with. While I was never as close of a friend to her like Rachel was, she w-was a nice girl who had her f-future ahead of her. Her thick Irish accent wasn't always has harsh or tough as she usually presented to others, as it was sometimes spoken out in a very sweet way. While she was tough and sometimes bossy on the outside, she was very sweet and gentle on the inside. I-I'll miss her dearly. Goodbye...Fanny. Goodbye."
Nigel Uno then sniffed and cried to himself, as he stepped down from the stool and off of the stage. He then walked past Fanny's coffin, down the asile, and sat back down in his assigned benchseat. His mother and father both hugged him to comfort him as he cried out over Fanny's passing. The priest then grabbed the stool, moved it out of the way, got back behind the podium, and began to speak into the microphone again...
"Thank you, Nigel Uno." said the priest, "I'm terribly sorry for what has happened to your old acquaintance from kindergarten. There is a few more people who have volunteered to present a eulogy. We will all dedicate our time to hear each and every single eulogy prepared until there is no more left to be shared during the service."
The scene then faded and cut a time later during the funeral service. By this time, it appeared that the scenes with several attendees giving prepared eulogies everyone seated were done, and the funeral service was nearing the end. Also during this time, both Edward and David were confused, shocked, and depressed by what they were watching onscreen, as like I said before, the original "Codename: Kids Next Door" cartoon NEVER dealt with serious issues like "Arthur" on "PBS Kids" did...
"This is so depressing, man." said David, as he finished up the last "Kit-Kat" bar on the table, "Why isn't this episode over yet? This is so fucking sad."
"I'm just as sad and mystified as you are, dude." replied David, "But maybe it'll all end here. I mean, Numbuh 86 is dead despite how fucked up we both think it is, so maybe the episode will give us a huge break and just...end after the conclusion of the funeral."
David just nodded in reply as the episode continued. As the eulogies ended for the service, the scene showed all of the attendees getting up from their assigned benchseats, lining up in the aisle, and approaching the open coffin one by one, to give a personal farewell to Fanny. The order of the goodbyes and people in line was first lead by Mr. Boss, his wife Mrs. Fulbright, Paddy, Shaunie, and Fanny's aunts, uncles, and cousins in that order. Mr. Boss said nothing when he gave Fanny a personal farewell, as he just...cried over her dead body, allowing a few tears of drip off of the sides of his cheeks and onto Fanny's face. However, this crying didn't sound like cartoony crying. It sounded like the actual voice actor for Mr. Boss, Jeff Bennett, actually crying during the voice recording sessions.
As he moved along and the rest of Fanny's family members approached her casket, no music played in the background, making this scene even more depressing and slightly disturbing at the same time. The next people in line to personally say a final goodbye to Fanny were Nigel Uno, Hoagie Gilligan, Kuki Sanban, Mushi Sanban, Wallabee Beatles, Joey Beatles, Abigail Lincoln, Cree Lincoln, Rachel, Joe Balooka, Sonia, and Lee in that order. Next, Monty Uno (Nigel's father), Mrs. Uno, Ms. Betty Gilligan, Mr. Kani Sanban, Mrs. Genki Sanban, Mr. Sid Beatles, Mrs. Beatles, Mrs. Lincoln, and Dr. Lincoln were next to say a personal goodbye to Fanny. And finally, Lizzie Devine, and Mrs. Thompson were the last ones to approach the coffin one by one, and bid a final farewell to Fanny.
The scene then cut to all of the funeral attendees re-seated in their assigned benchseats. The woman at the front of the church began playing the church organ in the background once again. As she did this, 4 funeral directors dressed in black suits and ties closing up the other half of the coffin, and latching it shut. They then carefully collected all of the coffin decorations and went outside the church, placing them into the trunk of one of their smaller cars. They all then re-entered, and they each grabbed one end and corner of the coffin, and carefully lifted it up. As they walked down the aisle holding the coffin, the priest got back behind the podium and said one final speech to the attendees over the microphone...
"When the coffin bearers exit the church, please carefully exit the church through the backdoors, and get into your cars." said the priest, going over a written list of instructions he was reading in front of him, "You will all then follow our police escort over to the Family Gallagher Cemetery, where our official and private burial of Fanny Fulbright will take place. Thank you for attending this memorial service during the Fulbright family's very tough time."
All of the attendees then stood up from their assigned seats, made their way down the aisle, and exited the church through the entry doors located at the back. The scene then cut to black for about 10 seconds before cutting to an overheard view of a road within the town the show took place in. A motorcade appeared onscreen from the left, which consisted of 4 police cars, 40 family cars, and a hearse (a special car used for transporting coffins from location to location). No music played in the background again, making this moment sad as all that could be heard onscreen was the sound of the cars of the motorcade driving down the road. The scene then cut to an exterior shot of the entry gates of the "Family Gallagher Cemetery", which opened up automatically as the motorcade made a left turn into the cemetery.
The scene then cut to the entire motorcade of cars parking in the cemetery's parking plot, where another funeral director wearing a brown suit was waiting nearby with a metal cart that was commonly used to transport coffins from the hearse car to their assigned burial plots. Once the entire motorcade was parked in the lot, all of the family members, relatives, friends, and the priest all gathered around the back of the hearse car. As they did, the 4 funeral bearers exited the hearse car, opened up the back of it, and slowly carried out the coffin, placing it onto the metal transport cart as they did. Once that was done, they closed the back of the hearse car, and the funeral director in the brown suit grabbed onto the back handlebar of the cart, and pushed it forward, coasting through the cemetery, passing hundreds of tombstones. As he did this, everyone followed him through the cemetery, being careful not to step too close to any of the other gravesites.
The scene then cut over to an area covered by a large blue awning-like event/funeral tent, held up by 4 long white polls. Underneath that was the newly-dug plot for the coffin, as well as a custom-made and engraved tombstone for it, and the coffin's lowering mechanism set over the top of the burial plot. Set in front of the coffin were several white foldable chairs. Once everyone made it over to the burial/plot site, the funeral director in the brown suit parked the metal cart next to the plot on the left. Then, the 4 funeral bearers carefully lifted Fanny's coffin off of the cart and onto the top of the coffin-lowering mechanism. The funeral director in the brown suit then rolled the cart away, walking away from the burial site as he did so.
At that point, the 4 funeral bearers directed all of the family members, relatives, and friends of Fanny to their assigned white seats before setting out of the burial area, and walking away back to their cars to leave the cemetery. As all of the funeral attendees sat down in their assigned seats, the priest stood in front of the coffin, pulled out a pre-typed speech from his suit's pocket front pocket on the left, and began to read it out to everyone seated. As he did, they sky turned from light blue and sunny to light grave and overcast. Edward and David could even hear some booming thunder in the background, but it did not rain over the cemetery and the ongoing event...
"Dear family members, relatives, and friends of Fanny Fulbright, we are gathered here at this burial plot to say goodbye to a young girl, who was very happy during her childhood and her life." said the priest, reading from the prepared written speech, "She was a happy child and a brave one, too. We'll always remember Fanny Fulbright as a kind and young soul. We'll shall all miss her dearly for the rest of our lives. Though she's no longer with us, she'll always be with us in our hearts and our memories as well. Ladies and gentlemen, this has been the memorial service, funeral, and burial of Fanny Fulbright. Thank you all for attending and please take the rest of this day of mourn and celebrate the life of her."
And with that being said, everyone got up from their assigned seats and gathered around the coffin on the lowering mechanism. 2 nearby ushers walked over, bent over next to the lowering device, and began turning a crank on both the left side and the right side of the coffin's lowering mechanism. As they did this, the coffin began to get lowered into the 6-foot deep burial plot in front of the specially-engraved tombstone. Once the coffin was all the way down, the 2 ushers disassembled the lowering mechanism, and proceeded to fil up the burial plot with fresh soil, topping it all off with some grass seeds at the very end once the plot was all the way full. The 2 ushers then took down the funeral tent and walked away back to their cars.
The scene then cut to almost everyone slowly walking away from the burial site as the funeral was now over. And I'm saying "almost" as only one person stayed behind in front of Fanny's tombstone. And that person was none other than...Mr. Boss. He knelt down in front of the grave and began to cry, once again sound like the actual voice actor for Mr. Boss actually crying in real life. The camera slowly zoomed into the writing on the tombstone, and the message on it was as followed...
"Fanny Fulbright.
Born: June 1st, 1994.
Died: October 31st, 2002.
The best daughter daddy has ever had. A beautiful young daring girl."
As the camera focused on Mr. Boss continuously crying his eyes out over his daughter's death for the next 2 minutes, Edward and David began to get teared up a little, as this all seemed just...too realistic for them both to continue viewing. Finally, the scene cut to black and Mr. Boss's crying could still be heard in the background. Then, as Edward and David both sat there in shock and sadness at what was just shown onscreen, even more digital white text came into view, saying the following down below, all taking place at this disturbing episode's 40-minute mark...
"Transmission Interrupted...Again"
And that was the conclusion of chapter 8 of this very spooky Halloween story of mine. This scene of the lost episode of "Codename: Kids Next Door" wasn't focused on blood and gore, but more on sadness and depressing. This scene of the lost episode included a funeral for Fanny (Numbuh 86), all of her relatives attending to say goodbye to her, the transportation of the coffin from the church to the burial plot in the cemetery, the lowering of the coffin into the grave, and a cut to Mr. Boss in front of Fanny's grave all alone after the funeral service had concluded. Mr. Boss was the reason for his daughter's death, and now he's suffering for it. Now, the lost episode COULD simply end here, but since I still have one more part left to the actual lost episode, it's not over yet. So, let's all move on to chapter 9 of this very spooky Halloween story.
