There's a lot of triplet fluff (as in; Relena, Elthy and Landy fluff) in this chapter but it's also very sad, so I'm sorry. This is the last chapter by the way.
The Wizard Of Wicked: I- I sorry :o please don't hate me
Elphaba'sGirl: Did you actually cry? :o I'm sorry if you did. I didn't mean to make you cry
Broadwaygirl21: Because he was old for a lion! at least I gave him a heroic death :o
"Kids, we need to go!" Oscar called up the stairs
Dorothy, Melena, Liir and Rikla walked slowly down the stairs, dressed in dark suits and dresses "Do we have to go?" Dorothy asked sadly
Oscar smiled sadly "I know saying goodbye will be hard" he began "but it's so much worse when you don't"
Melena lifted her hand to her face and began to sob "I can't believe he's really gone" she wept
Rikla pulled her into an embrace, kissing her cheek lightly "Shhhh, it's okay" he whispered, trying to hold back his own tears
Oscar looked at the couple sadly "How about you take her to the carriage" he suggested "you two too" he said turning to Dorothy and Liir "I- I'll be out in a second" The door closed and Oscar made his way to Brr's room. He took one look around the room and began to cry "Please come back" he whispered.
...
Elvira and Tandy were waiting at the funeral home when the triplets arrived with Oscar. The others had already arrived earlier. Tandy ran over to Liir and wrapped her arms around him "I'm so sorry" she wept "it's all my fault!"
"Don't be silly" Liir replied, bringing her closer to him "It's nobody's fault! especially not yours!"
"How are you holding up?" Elvira asked softly, wrapping her arm around Dorothy's shoulder's
"It still doesn't feel real" Dorothy replied, laying her head on Elvira's shoulder "I still expect him to walk through the door, or be sitting at the dinner table asking inappropriate questions"
Elvira lay a kiss on Dorothy's head "Well, I'll be here for you, no matter what. I hope you know that"
Dorothy lifted her head and smiled at Elvira "I do" she smiled "and there's something you ought to know too"
Elvira looked into Dorothy's bright blue eyes "What's that?"
"I'm in love with you too"
...
"Jellia!?" Liir asked in shock as he walked in to the funeral home "Wh- what are you doing here?"
"I'm sorry" Jellia responded "I- I just- when I found out, I couldn't not come"
"It's okay" Liir responded, hugging her "Brr would of wanted you here"
The two seperated and looked awkwardly at each other "Who's this?" she asked, smiling at Tandy
"Uh, this is my girlfriend" Liir replied
"Oh" Jellia's eyes widened "I- I didn't- I'm happy for you" she said with a fake smile
"Thank you" Liir replied "Uh, we're just gonna-" he referred to the coffin that lay in the front of the room
"Oh! Yeah yeah, of course!" Jellia said, moving to the side and letting the couple past. She watched them walk up the aisle sadly, letting out a large sigh.
...
"Fellow Ozians, I thank you" Oscar began "Brr's heart would be touched if he saw you all here today." he let out a sigh "and in a way, he is... in spirit. Brr meant a lot to me and my family, and I'm sure he meant a lot to many others as well. Sure, he could be inappropriate, compulsive... but he was also kind and loving and most of all, brave." A tear ran down Oscar's cheek "Goodbye, Brr. Thank you for the memories"
Liir was the next one to speak "Brr was the bravest lion I have ever known. Granted, I haven't known any other lions, but that does not count against his bravery." Liir took a deep breath in "Brr saved my life. I will never forget that. And I think I speak for all the family, especially Dorothy, Melena, Rikla and I, when I say that we would not be who we are today if it weren't for Brr" A tear ran down Liir's cheek and he gave a small, awkward laugh "I promised myself I wouldn't cry" he sniffed "I guess what I'm trying to say is; Brr was important to me and he will forever be in my heart." he walked over to the coffin and lay a pen and pad in his hands "This is to jot down all the answers to all the questions we all know you'll have up there" he smiled before returning to his seat.
The speeches continued, people sharing their memories of Brr and wishing him well. Elphaba and Fiyero were the last up, deciding to do theirs together. "When I first met Brr, he was just a scared little lion cub about to have his rights taken from him" Elphaba began "He has given me so much. I don't even know if I would be with Fiyero if it weren't for him"
"Everybody says that we saved Brr" Fiyero cut in "but in all honesty, Brr saved us all. He taught us the true meaning of bravery. It's not, not being afraid. It's being afraid but doing it anyway to protect those whose well being we put before our own. For Brr, this was mainly the children. Or as he called them, tiny humans" a small laugh was heard
Fiyero grabbed Elphaba's hand "This isn't goodbye" they said in unison "it's 'see you later'"
