I stood looking in the mirror. My hair was left down and I had on a black dress. I knew that as soon as I walked out of my room things would be different. I heard Buffy call for me. I sighed and opened up my bedroom door. We then got into the car and made our way to the burial site. We got out and walked to moms grave site. Buffy and I along with the gang were seated at the front. Buffy and I sat next to each other. Giles was on the other side of me. And then the gang went down from there. Then our family and friends sat all behind us. The only person I didn't see was Dad.
Buffy and I were called up to mom's casket. I wiped my face and gave Giles a small hug then Buffy and I walked up together. I held on to my sisters hand. I watched as Buffy placed the flowers in. Then I hugged Buffy and she headed back to her seat. I placed my flowers in to along with a little thing I had made saying the best mom in the world then I smiled at her and went back and took my seat.
We were then all asked to stand. I leaned my head on my sisters shoulder as a few words where said. The ashes to ashes, dust to dust. It was now over. I looked at mom's grave before I turned around and hugging friends and relatives. Some stayed around but soon there were fewer. I didn't want to stay here anymore. So I asked Buffy if I could go with Willow and Tara to there place and Buffy eventually said yes.
With Willow on one side and Tara on the other we left the cemetery. And stopped at the house to pick up a bag. I changed out of the dress to into red track pants and a red shirt both with the number 7 on them. And packed a sleeping bag and pillow and then we left and arrived at Will and Tara's place.
I followed Will and Tara in and was greeted by there cat Miss Kitty Fantastico. So I rolled my sleeping bag out on the floor beside Willow's bed and put my pillow at the top. And sat down. Putting my duffle bag under Willow's side of the bed. Miss Kitty Fantastico had already made herself comfy on the side of my pillow. I petted her head.
It was already dark outside by the time we got here. So I got under the sleeping bag and laid down on the floor. Miss Kitty Fantastico curled up into a ball on my pillow.
