ELLIE HAD SPENT THE NIGHT AT HER PARENTS HOUSE, SPENDING SOME time with her mom and siblings before her father's funeral. The blonde woke up the following morning, feeling numb as she tried to force herself to get ready for the funeral.

The eldest Kazansky daughter stood in front of her mirror, buttoning up her white Navy uniform. Ellie sighed, raising her hands to pull her hair back into a bun, but she let out a deep breath, sudden tears filling her eyes as she sat down on the bed.

Ellie couldn't do this. The blonde felt the tears streaming down her face as she doubled over, her body racking with sobs she tried to keep in.

Her mother came to check on her, entering the bedroom, seeing her daughter hunched over and her body shaking. She sighed and approached Ellie, crouching down in front of her, placing her hand on her face.

Ellie felt her mother's soft hand, leaning into her touch as she looked up at her. Her mom pulled her in for a tight hug, holding back her own sobs as she held her daughter close.

"I- I didn't get to say goodbye, momma," Ellie sobbed, wrapping her arms around her mother. "I- I wasn't here."

"I know, sweetie, it's okay," her mother replied softly, but Ellie could hear her voice break. "Come on, let's finish getting you ready."

Ellie nodded and pulled away from the hug, wiping her nose as she got back to her feet. Her mother stood behind her, gently pulling her hair back into a bun. The blonde's eyes landed on herself in the mirror before she looked at her mother, who only smiled sadly and ran her hands up and down her arms to try to comfort her.

They soon made it to the cemetery and Ellie walked with her brother and sister, following after their mother. Everyone was already there waiting for them and Ellie's eyes landed on her team, giving them each a weak smile as she walked past them.

Ellie stood silently by her mother as they began to play Taps on the trumpet. The blonde felt the tears in her eyes as they landed on her father's casket and she immediately had to look away, covering her mouth to suppress a sob.

Cyclone walked up to them, carrying an American flag. He folded it as Ellie heard the guns going off before he handed it to Ellie's mother and saluted.

Cyclone then stood in front of Ellie, his eyes landing on her as a sympathetic expression crossed his face. Ellie only nodded and gave him a small smile, her eyes gazing over to where Maverick was standing.

Maverick walked up to the casket, placing her father's wings on top. Then he clenched his hands into a fist, slamming it on the wings, engraving them into the casket before he saluted, tears falling down his face.
