The funeral was lavish. Hundreds of flowers (all white roses) and people (all in black) came to see it and pay their respects.
"This is wrong," Duo said quietly.
"What?" Relena looked at him. Duo fumbled with his tie before Relena came foward and tied it for him.
"He wouldn't want all this, he would want a hero's death, not some prissy funeral."
"Duo I wouldn't call a 21 gun salute, 500 white roses, 100 candles and hundreds of important people coming to mourn you 'some prissy funeral'," Relena scolded gently finishing the tie.
Duo didn't say anything.
No-one said anything until it was time for Relena to make a speech.
She stood by Heero's closed casket, barely visible under the hundreds of white roses all over it.
"Heero Yuy was a true leader, he was assasinated years ago. The man in the grave before you took Heero's name, but he was a true leader as well. Fighting for peace alongside countless others, Heero led the way to peace between the colonies and earth. When I first met Heero Yuy, his favorite phrase was 'I will kill you'. As time went on, he learned he was not just a soilder but something more. He became a true friend and his life touched countless others. In private, Heero once told me 'I cannot imagine dying today because I want to be part of tommorrow'. Heero Yuy, I promise you that you will be part of many tommorow's to come," Relena finished and walked down the podium.
Duo got on it next.
"Heero Yuy was a piece of work. When any of us first met him he never smiled, there was speculation he wasn't human. As time went on, like Vice Forgien Minister Peacecraft said, he learned. Heero learned to separate the man from the solider. So, as his friend I ask you all, do not remember his death but rather his life, don't remember his failures but rather his accomplishments, don't remember the soilder, remember the person. Because Heero, you weren't just a soilder, you were a true friend. You will be missed, but you will be part of tommorrow," Duo said.
The rest of the funeral finished. There were no terrorist attacks or world threats (but then again, everyone knew that if they did anything to stop the funeral they would have to deal with the evil-older-brother-from-hell aka Millardo Peacecraft).
Soon it was night fall and everyone was gone except for Relena.
"I suppose this is my goodbye to you," she said softly walking foward.
In her hand was a small boat. In it was a lit candle that was protected from the wind by a small paper structure on the boat.
"I can't imagine life without you Heero, but then again, I never imagined life as the Vice Forgien Minister, I never imagined a lot of things and I learned to live with them and I will learn to live with this. Don't worry about me, I'll be fine," she said softly.
Relena placed the boat on the lake and gently pushed it foward. The boat moved down the lake and dissapeared into the night, it's light flickering cheerfully against the blackness.
Relena turned and walked back to her house.
That night she slept without nightmares and dreams of Heero.

Don't kill me!
I promise HYXRP is going to prevail! You just have to wait and see how!
Now that the set-up is done the stories going to progress a lot faster. :razz:
