Ian sat in the waiting room,holding his Ash Ketchum hat. Anthony always told him to keep the hat close,as it "Will always keep the best memories". A tear ran down Ian's wrinkly cheek. He wiped it away,and took a deep breath,looking at a ceiling light. Suddenly,a doctor slowly walked out and stared at Ian. Ian stared back,waiting for a response. There was no words…just a shaking head.
"We're…sorry,sir…"
Ian looked down and sighed. His throat had a lump,his breathing became intense,and his eyes became watery.
"You can come see him…"
Ian slowly stood up and walked into the hospital room,seeing Anthony,pale skinned,and so peaceful like. Walking over to him,Ian sat down in a chair and looked at his best friend. Tears fell down his face,as he grabbed Anthony's hand. He looked at his Ash hat and hugged it.
"I'm sorry,A-Anthony…I'm really s-sorry…"
------
At Anthony's funeral,everyone who quit the Smosh business were there. Almost everyone who was in their videos. Ian was wearing his Ash hat,even though it was out of ordinary for a funeral,he did it for his best friend. When the funeral was over,Ian was the only one still there. Mari looked over. "Ian…? Are you coming?"
Ian shook his head. "No,lemme…lemme stay here,okay…"
Mari looked at him one last time before leaving. Ian went over to the tombstone and softly placed the Ash Ketchum hat on the grass.
"Thanks for the memories,Anthony…you were the very best…"
Ian buried his face in his hands as he sobbed for a few moments,until he lifted his head up. "Like no one ever was…"
He looked one very last time at his best friend's tombstone,and walked away,the leaves flying near his feet,the memories flying back. But he stopped smiled a little bit. Because even though Anthony was gone,they promised they would always be a team until the very end. And there is no end,even when Ian passes.
~There is no end,to Smosh.~
