Rose first made a stop back in the Forgotten City. She knew that it was probably a bad idea but she still had something that she wanted to do. She sat alone by the water, making a wreath made of flowers from Aerith's church. She finished attaching the last flower than slowly walked into the water to the spot where Cloud had placed Aerith after Sephiroth had killed her and gently placed the wreath in the water over the spot, letting them float there. She stood there for a moment, staring at the wreath.

"We miss you Aerith. It's still hard to believe that it's been almost three years since you died. I think it was the hardest on Cloud. He blamed himself for not being able to save you. He did the same when Tifa fell from Mt. Nibel. Hopefully he's learned that he can't save everyone, nor is it his fault when someone gets hurt. He's there and he tries, that's what matters.

"Anyway, I need to go. I just wanted to pay my respects to you. You've helped us so much and you're always there when we need you. You deserve it." said Rose than she turned and walked out of the water, heading to her bike. She climbed on her bike and sped off, making at a cliff overlooking Edge and what remained of Midgar. There was a buster sword in the ground. This was where her friend Zack Fair was killed by Shinra troops. She didn't turn off her bike this time. She got off long enough to place another flower wreath on the sword before getting bike on her bike and speeding off again.

Flashback

Rose was riding her bike back to Shin-Ra headquarters after completing another mission. President Shin-Ra had allowed her to come back after Genesis had disappeared, believed to be dead. Rose, however, believed that the only reason that she had been allowed to come back was because of the fact that Zack and Cloud had disappeared, wanted by Shin-Ra for being traitors but Rose didn't believe it. She only came back to Shin-Ra so that she could find them before Shin-Ra and help them get away safely. Cloud was her good childhood friend, almost like her brother and Zack was another good friend of hers, someone she met in the very short time she was in SOLDIER.

Rose was usually sent out on missions with Reno and Rude so that they could watch her but this time, she was sent out on her own. Ever since she had come back, she was constantly being sent out on missions. She supposed it was a form of a punishment for her. In not only hoping to find Cloud and Zack before Shin-Ra, she was also hoping to find and be with Genesis again. He was proving to be harder to find than Zack and Cloud. And, unfortunately, after returning to the Turks, she had learned of her other friend, Angeal Hewley's death at Zack's hand. She wasn't sure whether to believe that or not.

Just then, her cell phone rang. She pulled off to the side of the road before taking it out and answering it.

"Rose, its Reno. Where are you?"

"I'm on my way back. Why? What's going on Reno?" asked Rose. She could sense that something was wrong.

"Just meet me at the train station and I'll explain." said Reno before hanging up.

Rose closed her phone and put it in her pocket, a little dumbfounded. Reno would usually tell her what was going on over the phone. If he didn't, it had to mean that something bad was going on.

"Cloud, Zack." she said. She sped off toward the train station, barely missing a car that was passing her. 'Please be okay you two.'

Rose arrived at the train station in a matter of minutes. She spotted Reno and Rude waiting for her. She pulled up beside them, not bothering to turn off her bike.

"Reno, what the hell is going on?" asked Rose.

"Zack and Cloud were spotting not far from here, heading this way. President Shin-Ra has sent every infantryman after them. He wants them both dead. He's out for blood. He has everyone out there looking for them and orders are to shoot on sight." said Reno.

"Why didn't you call me sooner?" asked Rose but she sped off before Reno could answer.

"You should've told her the truth." said Rude.

"I know. She'll find out sooner or later though." said Reno.

As Rose sped through Midgar looking for Zack and Cloud, she spotted Aerith walking along with her usual basket of flowers.

"Aerith!" she called out, stopping beside Aerith.

"Rose, what's wrong? You look upset about something." said Aerith.

"Get on and I'll explain everything." said Rose.

Aerith climbed on behind Rose and held on as Rose sped off through the city.

"What's going on Rose? Has something bad happened?" asked Aerith.

"No, not yet it hasn't." said Rose.

"What do you mean?" asked Aerith.

"The president has sent every Turk, SOLDIER, and infantryman out after Zack and Cloud. They were spotted near here and they're heading this way. Orders are for them to be shot on sight. I have a feeling something very bad is about to happen to them. I have to find them before Shin-Ra does and they're killed." said Rose.

"You don't think…?" asked Aerith.

"I hope not Aerith, I hope not." said Rose.

Hours seemed to fly by as the two of them searched Midgar for their friends but saw no sign of them. They then went to Aerith's church to see if they were there. Aerith climbed off the bike and headed in to her church to look.

"They're not here either." walking back outside where Rose waited on her bike.

"I'm gonna start looking outside the city. You stay here in case they show up. I'll come back as soon as I can." said Rose.

"Right. Be careful Rose." said Aerith.

"Aren't I always?" asked Rose, giving a reassuring smile.

Aerith smiled too but chose not to answer. She watched as Rose turned rode away and headed out of Midgar to search for their missing friends.
