Hey! I got a request to continue this, and so I am... This is going to be kinda sad, though, so no hard feelings, please. It might have another death, or two, maybe none at all. Here goes nothing!
"Today, we remember the life of Nya Smith."The pastor started, "Not very many people know how she died, but I heard it was very tragic. She was a brave young woman, never backing down to save the ones she loved." Everyone heard someone sobbing. It was a mix if Kai and Jay... "Zane, Cole, and Lloyd have something to say about Nya. Zane,"
"Thank you all for coming here today. I would tell you how her death came to be, but her brother asked us not to." Zane said as Kai and Jay quieted down a bit. "Nya was strong, that is why her death was so unexpected. I know we will all miss her, as we already do. She said she had a song she always wanted someone to sing at her funeral, but she never told us what song and Kai hasn't said much since her death, though, surprisingly, he has said more than Jay." Cole and Lloyd laughed. "I wish she were still here, but as Sensei always tells us, The past is the past. We must focus on now, sadly without our beloved sister. That's what she was to all of us, except Jay. She was a sister. We all fought like siblings, played pranks like siblings do," Jay started sobbing again. " And even had food fights like siblings do. The last fun memory we all have of her was the prank she, Jay and I pulled. She was the best prankster on the bounty, though she hardly ever pranked anyone. I could go on forever, but then I'd take everything away from Cole and Lloyd. Cole..."
"Thanks, Zane. Like Zane said, she was like a sister to us. A sister that you would be dead if you got on her bad side. Since I'm a ghost, I had to be extremely careful of getting on her bad side, because she was the master of water, and she could disintegrate me instantly." That earned laughs from everyone, including Kai and the no longer energetic Jay. "Whenever they had water fights, they'd have her against them and she'd win. Every single time. There's a song she would sing all the time while she was a samurai, it's called Brave. That's what she was. Brave. I don't know what else to say that won't take anything away from Lloyd, so, Lloyd..."
"Yeah, She really was a sister to me. I was an only child and she taught me to be glad I was an only child! I never played pranks on her after the first time she tried to kill me. She may have not been a ninja very long, but she was always a part of our team. The bounty's a mess now that she's gone and we're missing our "motivation" to clean it. It was more like that "I'm gonna kill you if the bounty isn't clean in fifteen minuets" look that got us cleaning. Yeah, we have Sensei, but it's not the same. We just get extra Training if we don't clean it, and we all like the extra training because it usually gets our minds off Nya. There was a song she would sing as she was cleaning her room, she never knew I heard her sing though. Well, there were a lot of songs, but one that hit me the most. It's called I Refuse. And it says "I don't wanna live like I don't care, I don't wanna say another empty prayer..." and that just made me look at my life and realize that I had lived like I don't care. The next day, I had her pray with me and I gave my heart to serve Christ because of her. If I had never met her, I would've never became a Christian. I'll miss her, but I know she's never going to feel pain again and that she's having a reunion with her parents now."
Once Lloyd was off stage, someone that surprised everyone came on stage. It was Skylor. She had a soundtrack on the ready for Nya's funeral because she has asked if Skylor could sing the song Zane talked about.
"If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in a river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
Uh oh, uh oh
Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother
She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colors, oh,
And life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no
Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby
The sharp knife of a short life, oh well
I've had just enough time
If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
The sharp knife of a short life, oh well
I've had just enough time
And I'll be wearing white, when I come into your kingdom
I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger,
I've never known the lovin' of a man
But it sure felt nice when he was holdin' my hand,
There's a boy here in town, says he'll love me forever,
Who would have thought forever could be severed by...
...the sharp knife of a short life, oh well
I've had just enough time
So put on your best, boys, and I'll wear my pearls
What I never did is done
A penny for my thoughts, oh, no, I'll sell 'em for a dollar
They're worth so much more after I'm a goner
And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singin'
Funny when you're dead how people start listenin'
Uh oh (uh, oh)
The ballad of a dove (uh, oh)
Go with peace and love
Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket
Save 'em for a time when you're really gonna need 'em, oh
The sharp knife of a short life, oh well
I've had just enough time
So put on your best, boys, and I'll wear my pearls."
"Nya asked me to sing that song if she died before I did and I think it fits what she would say right now perfectly. We all will miss her. I already do. She was my best friend and I wasn't surprised when she became the master of water. I knew she had it in her. She was strong, brave, beautiful, and inspirational. Goodbye Nya Smith..."
