Kelsi Nielsen stood in the front yard under a big oak tree, holding Troy Bolton's hand as he stood next to her. She looked at him and saw him trying not to smile as much as she was trying to be serious.

Five year old, Genivive Nielsen, stood in front of them, playing on the little chime set Kelsi had bought her. She had an intense, sad look on her face.

Eight year old, Jeremy Nielsen, took the metal stick from his little sister's hand to stop the noise. "You're ruining the funeral!" he whined.

"Am not!" Genivive argued, standing up and stomping her foot in the ground.

"Are too!" Jeremy yelled angrily.

Genivive turned around and looked at Kelsi, tears shining in her blue eyes. "Kelsi..." she started on the verge of tears.

Kelsi sighed, dropping her boyfriend's hand and scooped her little sister up. "It's okay, Genny," she assured. "He's just sad because Tony died."

Genivive buried her face in Kelsi's neck and sobbed, "I miss Tony."

Kelsi rubbed the child's back. "I know, Baby," she cooed gently, swaying them from side to side.

Troy stifled a laugh.

Kelsi let her heal drop hard on his toes as she scolded him. "Their hamster is a big thing," she hissed.

Troy bit his bottom lip to shut his mouth.

Genivive looked at Kelsi, wiping her eyes. "Kelsi, can I play the chimes at the end of the funeral?" she asked shyly.

Kelsi nodded, stroking her sister's hair back, "Always." She looked at Jeremy. "Go on, Jay."

Jeremy nodded and cleared his throat before speaking solemly, "We are gathered here today to say goodbye to a very loved hampster. Tony Nielsen was a good friend and we will miss him very much." He stared at the newly covered hole in the backyard and looked at Kelsi. "Kelsi..." he mumbled, starting to get emotional.

"It's okay, Jay," Kelsi assured with a nod, reaching down and ruffled his hair while still holding Genivive on her hip.

Jeremy buried his face in her side, hugging her waist.

Kelsi closed her eyes with a sigh and then gave Troy a look to help her.

Troy smiled, suggesting softly, "Hey Genny, Jay. How about we go inside and get some ice cream?"

Jeremy's face lit up and he rushed inside.

Genivive looked up at her sister. "You can put me down," she said before putting her thumb in her mouth.

Kelsi nodded and set the child on her feet. She watched Genny skip inside before looking at Troy. "Thank you," she said.

"Who knew ice cream was such a good cure to kill the dead hampster blues?" he chuckled, wrapping his arm around her waist.
