==50 Minutes Later==
/Dylan continued walking around the room, with the phone. Every so often, he'd take a quick glance at the phone. Suddenly, it started ringing again. Dylan picked it up before the first ring ended.../
"Hello...?" asked Dylan
"Are you the one she was talking with?" asked a male voice
/Dylan nodded/
"Yes... She said it's safe where you are"
"It is. There's been no attacks. No one's been bit, or gone crazy. No one's lost it. No one's sick..."
"Yeah... w- we want to come to where you are"
"You could be dangerous... How many walkers have you killed?"
"Too many to count..."
"How many people have you killed...?"
/Dylan closed his eyes, tightly. He then sighed, and opened them/
"Three. Two of them drew on us, and the other asked me to do it, so she wouldn't turn"
/Dylan heard silence. He then heard a throat clearing/
"Tell me how you lost your wife"
"I don't want..."
/Dylan suddenly went wide eyed/
"How do you know that I lost my wife...?"
"Just answer the question"
/Dylan sighed/
"I don't... I don't want to talk about that"
/Dylan then heard the phone line, click. He went wide eyed/
"Hello...? Hello!?" asked Dylan
/Dylan then threw the phone to the ground/
"NO! GODDAMMIT! FUCK...!" shouted Dylan, with anger
/Dylan then grabbed the phone, and put it back on its receiver. He sighed, with anger/
==With Anne==
/Anne had a worried look, as she walked towards the furniture section. She saw Chase, sharpening his knife. She walked to him, and sat next to him/
"I'm worried about Dylan... He's been in that garage, for hours..." said Anne
"I know... And I'm getting worried about something else..." said Chase
/Chase sighed, and looked at Anne/
"Rebecca's been dead for over 6 hours. She's going to start rotting, soon. We're probably gonna have to bury her, without Dylan" said Chase
/Anne gasped/
"No... If Dylan wasn't here for that, then he'd never forgive himself" said Anne
"Anne, we don't have much of a choice. Pretty soon... Rebecca'll start having a decaying smell. We don't want that. We need to bury her, soon" said Chase
/Anne sighed, and then nodded/
"You're right... But we'll have to worry about Dylan, as well" said Anne
"I'll take care of that. Right now, I'd like you to go and get everyone, for the funeral" said Chase
/Anne nodded/
==One Hour Later==
/Odd, Christopher, Patrick, and Aelita all finished digging a hole, outside. They climbed out of it, and looked at Rebecca's coffin. Aelita let a few tears fall from her eyes/
"Alright... put her in..." said Clementine
/Ulrich, Miranda, Jennifer, and Yumi all grabbed the railings on the sides of the coffin. Robert looked at them/
"Be careful with her..." said Robert
/Ulrich nodded. They then gently brought the coffin to the hole, and they gently put it at the bottom. The group sighed, as they looked at the coffin/
"Can someone say something? Anything...?" asked Chelsea
/Aelita nodded/
"Rebecca was my friend. One of my best friends, actually... I cared for her, almost as much as I care for my brother. And I'm gonna miss her..." said Aelita
/Anne sighed/
"I don't know if it's appropriate or not... But... I've got a song I'd like to play, for her..." said Anne
"She loved your singing... She absolutely did. I'd like for you to do that" said Yumi
/Anne had a look of sadness/
"She loved my singing...?" asked Anne
"Yes. Sometimes, she wouldn't stop talking about it..." said Chase
/Anne let a couple of tears fall from her face, as she sat down on a tree stump. She then started strumming her guitar/
"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..."
/Odd, Yumi, Verity, and Kyra all grabbed some shovels, and started burying the coffin. Verity was crying, as she looked at the coffin/
...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'
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
/Chase looked at Anne, with a saddened look/
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."
/The group clapped, and cried, as Anne finished her song. Anne then started sobbing, and allowed Chase to hug her/
"I miss her too... But we'll all get through this. I promise..." said Chase
/Anne nodded/
==One Hour Later==
/Everyone paid their respects, and left, one by one. After an hour, everyone except for Chase, Anne, and Aelita left. Aelita sighed/
"This never should've happened..." said Aelita
"I know. But there's nothing we can do about it, now..." said Chase
/Anne wiped a couple of tears from her eyes, and looked at Chase/
"We need to get Dylan. He needs to be here for this" said Anne
/Chase and Aelita, both nodded in agreement/
"You're right... If he realizes that he wasn't here on the day she was buried... then I don't know what he'll do" said Aelita
"We need to go get him" said Chase
"How? He won't leave the garage..." said Anne
"He will. He'll calm down, soon, and he'll come back out. I'm sure of it" said Chase
/Anne sighed/
"I hope you're right about this" said Anne
/Chase, Anne, and Aelita all started walking towards the store/
