Road to Paradise

Babs cried as Buster had just died. Over the next few days, Babs prepared the funeral. Still upset over Buster, Babs has not been able to focus on school. Bugs and Lola arranged a meeting with her. "Babs, why are you still here? Lola and I think you should take some time off until you get over this." "I don't need time off, I need Buster!" then Babs sobbed. Lola grabbed her on the shoulder and stated, "Babs, Buster isn't coming back. You need to say goodbye." "I CAN'T!" Babs sobbed some more. Bugs and Lola looked at each other unsure of what to do.

On the day of the funeral, Babs decide to speak on the podium. "My name is Babs Bunny. I am here to talk about Buster Bunny, no relation." As she said that she began to tear up. "That was our favorite joke. There were times when Buster was so irritating and times when he was a gentleman. The last eight months have been the biggest change in Buster, bringing out the best in him. I wish he were here right now, I would tell him I love him and miss him." Babs started to sob on the podium. "I know he is with me. I know that Buster will always be watching. He promised he would always be with me and he was right. I am pregnant. You were right, Buster. You were right. Goodbye." Babs left the stage in tears but smiling.

A year later, Babs visits Buster's grave with her daughter, Layla Bunny. "I brought our daughter, Buster. I'm living my life, Buster. Raising our daughter to be the most caring girl in the world. I hope that's enough. I hope that by bringing her into the world and raising her the best I can will make you proud. I know it will. I will see you 

tomorrow." When Babs came back the next day, she got the shock of her life when, carved on the tombstone was the words, "I AM PROUD."

Babs smiled and looked to heaven, knowing somewhere up there, Buster was watching, proudly.

The End
