Best Enemies: The Girl That Saved The World
by DiabloVixen
There was complete silence as the priest stood in front of the room. He oddly was not surprised by the amount of people in the room. He gave a grin, as though this was what he had expected. The man cleared his throat and began to speak.

“I am not surprised to see all you here today, not at all. She has affected so many of out lives, yet many of us never even learned her name. The young girl that saved the world, her name was Buffy Anne Summers.” The priest paused for a moment to give her name the respect it deserved.

“I know it is unorthodox for me to smile on such a tragic day as today, but I cannot look into the eyes of this young girl’s face…” He gestured toward on of the pictures of Buffy. “… without cracking a grin. You see, this young beautiful, brave girl was the answer to all of society’s epidemics. How many of you know someone who died from cancer?” The crowd gave each other unsure looks and slowly began to raise their hands.

“How about violence and crime? How many, if not themselves, know someone affected by the violence and crime so commonly found in our society?” Almost everyone in the crowd raised their hands. “I see, now how many of you were affected by Ms. Summers?” Everyone in the room, including the priest raised their hands high in the air. “Half-a-decade ago I was consoling a numerous amount of childless parents and parentless children. I was helping a countless number of relatives and friends of those that mysteriously disappeared or that were horribly murdered. But then I have so many people tell me of a blond-haired angel who saved them from certain death. None of them could tell me a name but none of them could forget the face. The hero who saved us all remained anonymous and nameless, until today. We may never be able to thank her again for the gift of life she has given us but we will be able to retell the memories and stories of the strongest hero to ever fall.”
