Chapter 20! Read! And! Enjoy!

No one spoke as they road the limousine to the cemetery. All things that would have to be said, would be said as they lifted the body of a girl who that they hadn't known very long into the ground. Her body, which was in the hurse in front of us, was comfortable in a plain white casket that glinted across the florescent lights of the funeral home. Everyone was there, all wearing black even if they had just met her and in her darkest moments no less, yet they each sobbed over the body that had to pass too soon.

Once the limousine stopped everyone exited, forming a close rectangle around the newly duggen grave where a girl would lie. A balding man in back robes stood at the front, standing in front of the soon to be tombstone. He held a book out in front of him, but he didn't seem to be looking at it at all, instead he was looking strait at the coffin in front of him, coated with flowers of all colors against the bright white coffin.

"We are gathered here to leave to rest the body of a young girl, taken before she had gotten a chance to live. As I look around you all today, I realize that in her short time, she has made good friendships and will stay in your hearts till yours stop beating as well.' He stopped laying a hand lightly on the coffin. "Holy father, watch over this precious angel and make sure her path to heaven is a safe journey." He looked back at the group. "And let us pray."

Everyone bowed their heads, neither looking up or having the voice to speak yet, finally the father raised his head and took a step back allowing anyone to speak freely.

With a sigh, Mary-Lynnette stood up at the front of the tombstone, her dark hair falling strait down her shoulders and nearly a shade darker then her dress. She held her hands together and looked strait at the coffin as she spoke, as if addressing Cassandra directly.

"I hadn't known Cassandra long, we all really didn't. But I knew that from the minute we spoke that she had a good soul. Even if she was strayed away from her path, I had hoped some day that she would be able to return to it." She laid a hand onto her little friend's coffin. "I hate what had happened, and I may not have liked all the things she had done, or the choices she had made, but I loved her like she was…my sister, and I always will. Tears rolled down Mary-Lynette's cheeks as she spoke. "This isn't goodbye forever, Cassandra. I'll see you again." She smiled though the tears, softly. "I know we all will."

Mary-Lynnette took as step back as someone else stood to say a few words, tears rolled down her cheeks freely, not that Mary-Lynnette cared much anymore. She would never get over the death of her small friend. No longer would she be able to feel Cassandra's small hand on her arm or her wise eyes cast far away, already seeing Mary-Lynnette's green aura. She would never get to play cards with Cassandra again and laugh at how she would beat everyone without even seeing. And lastly, she would never see the closest person she had to a mother, ever again, no matter what her father had promised.

Mary-Lynnette looked up at Aradia, her brown eyes soft and just as sad as Mary-Lynnette's. Her DNA went into Cassandra so she would always be a part of her, even if they had never formally said goodbye.

The last person to speak ended and slowly the lowered the glossy white coffin into the earth then covered it up with piles of dirt. Mary-Lynnette didn't help though; she would never help cover Cassandra away from her.

Once all the dirt was moved over Cassandra's casket, Mary-Lynnette just stood, feeling gazes on her as she did. She had been closer to the deceased girl in more ways then one, and saying goodbye would be incredibly hard for her. She laid a hand on her wrist were the golden circlet was, she had found it in Cassandra's room along with her pink bunny, that was in her other hand. She took a few steps to the tombstone and sat the bunny on the dirt where it could watch over Cassandra like her guardian angel.

"I'll never forget you." Mary-Lynnette whispered closing her eyes tightly as she turned around to exit into the limo.

. . .

As the sun set on the day that Mary-Lynnette would never forget, she leaned out against the back stairs of the yard. Staring at the stars, it reminded her dully of home and how she would be returning to school soon, and how she had wished she brought her telescope with her. She would have loved to watch the stairs like she hadn't done since she'd gotten to Las Vegas.

Someone opened the door behind her and sat down next to Mary-Lynnette, placing his arm around her shoulders.

"Their beautiful aren't they?" Ash asked craning his head back to see the glowing balls of fire millions of miles away.

"Yea," Mary-Lynnette agreed leaning her head against her soul mate's shoulder then suddenly asked. "Do you think she's happy? Right now where ever she is?"

Ash sighed and shook his head slightly. "You Know, I bet she's watching us right now. Telling me to shut up and kiss you already."

Even though that Cassandra would have never said anything of that sort, Mary-Lynnette smiled and kissed her soul mate, softly at first then with the passion that both of them fed to one another, not willing to let the other break free of their hold.

Finally they pulled away, Mary-Lynnette breathless and Ash grinning, like an idiot. She leaned against him and he wrapped his arms around her, pressing his body close to hers., as both stared up to where their love had started, and where Cassandra was watching down upon them, in the stars.
