As Dojo landed I had a weird feeling in my stomach I have been to many funerals before but none like this I never would have thought I would have to go to my best friend and love of my life Raimundo Pedrosa's funeral. I was asked to make a speech so as the ceremony started Omi, Clay, Master Fung and I carried his coffin in and placed in on the wooden table in front of the podium. I stepped up and started my speech
"The loss of a loved one is never easy but there are many types of love whether it is in the form of family, friendship or relationship but no matter what form love is in everybody here today loved Raimundo Pedrosa. He was funny, smart, caring, understanding and obnoxious at times but most of all he was our leader no what am I saying he is our leader and he always will be but he wouldn't want all of us here to mourn his death no! So I invite all of us here today to join in the celebration of the life of Raimundo Pedrosa! May he rest in peace,"
As I stepped off the podium I heard the roar of applause as a teary faced Nerida Pedrosa came over and thanked me for my speech.
"Thank you Kimiko I couldn't of done better myself you were right to be the one to speak today,"
"Thank you Mrs. Pedrosa," I said
"Oh and I think he would've wanted you to have this," she said as she passed me a golden pendant with a black swirl in the middle
"Oh! Mrs. Pedrosa I can't accept this!"
"But you can he would've wanted you to have it trust me!" She said as she walked away smiling.
"Come on kid the Dojo express is ready for boarding!" I heard an impatient green dragon say
"Wait a minute Dojo," I said
I walked over to a tombstone that said
RAIMUNDO ENRIQUE PEDROSA
BORN: 12 AUGUST 1980
DIED: 15 MAY 2007
A LOVED CHILD, STUDENT, FRIEND, BOYFRIEND AND LEADER
"Rai I don't know if you can here me or not but I wanted to say that I'll always love you no matter what,"
Just then I saw Rai sitting on top of his tombstone
"But your dead!" I said astonished
"No Kim remember I told you I'd always with you" He said as he gave me a quick kiss
I turned around to see If Dojo was still there I saw Clay waving at me to hurry up so I turned back to say bye to Raimundo but then there was a gust of wind and he was away he was gone with the wind but I knew he would always be with me and I'd see him soon but not to soon I still have to save the world you know! But it's good to know he'll be there with me.
As Dojo flew up I thought back on what I said before he died and I'm right I can't see his star but I can feel it and I know I always will.
