!Rose sighed softly and patted the floor next to her for him to sit. "You're not the only one. I shouldn't have reacted so rashly. Those memories were not for you. You shouldn't have had to see that."

AFR sat next to her. "I did... but not everything I saw was bad, Rose. I know I failed to fulfill my promises to you... that's what hurt the most... but I also saw how you became a mother to Hikari's children and helped me be a father to my own. It wasn't all painful. Some of it was encouraging as to why I made the promises with you I did to begin with." He looked to her once more. "I always try to keep my promises... and even though you are from another time my promise to you then is as strong as it is now. I am still as much of a person you could come to as I was before if you trust me enough." Maybe she didn't and I suppose he couldn't blame her. She watched him die when he said he'd never leave. Not him in essence, but him enough to make what he was saying suspect. "I'm understanding what I have to do now..."

She was just listening for now. !Rose wasn't going to toss much out there at the moment. Simply because she was highly emotional and would probably start crying and we don't need !Rose crying anymore than she really needs to. She sat her scrapbook down and leaned on her knees, still listening and watching. "And what is that?"

AFR smiled sadly. "I have to be your best friend... no more and no less... It's not fair to you, and it's not fair to Bianca... I lost my chance with you long ago. I'm still in the aftershock of our relationship... full of regrets. It's starting to go away, slowly. The more I'm with Bianca the more it closes to it's end. But I'll get there for the better of everyone it seems. From what I saw in your memories we were closer then ever and we weren't close like the way me and past you are now." He let his head lean back to the wall. "I need what I am destined to have with you and I need what I'm destined to have with Bianca. It just took me a while to see that."

!Rose nodded her head as she listened. "It's taken you nearly two years to figure that out." !Rose was going off of the time line presented to her when she asked their Armok what time period they had come from.

AFR nodded. "Well... you left quite an impression on me, Rose... as hard as it might be for you to understand you certainly made life have meaning in living for a bit. If I realized what I know now in any timely fashion and listened to the words and read the signs we might have been together still... but the past is the past for a reason and we are built to live beyond it. I would be apologizing to you about everything I have done to us, but that is better left for the past you to hear. To finally clear my conscience and make myself my best for Bianca I have to acknowledge my wrongs to you and rise above them. To be the best friend to you I need to be I have to lose every regret I have with our relationship. Then we both could be free of it."

!Rose nodded her head. "This is something you're going to have to right with my former self though. Not me." She stretched her arms in front of her a bit and then relaxed again. I'm changing. I am subject to anything she does, thinks or decides." !Rose rolled up her sleeves to show a new tattoo. "I didn't remember getting this until she made the decision last night to get a new one of her own choice." She shrugged her shoulders. "I'm like clay at the moment. So right things with her. Not me."

AFR nodded. "I had my own things I wanted to right with you, but you are right and I will right those things with her." He creaked his neck and cracked it. "Right now though I am the least of her worries and will treat myself as such." He sighed a bit. "Also I think I should be there for Bianca first and !Tsuki too. Getting my priorities straight is more important at the moment, btut when the time is right I will tell her what we both need to hear. Then things will become less complicated."

!Rose found herself nodding once more. "I have one request. Don't focus so much on your future selves. Besides the fact that the future changes if you change it. We're all subject to change. Hell if you figure something out, Kat may magically reappear from death. I want you guys to figure out what changed. Because we can't. You're closer to when it happened. That is my only request. Figure it out before you leave."

AFR nodded back. "We've been thinking about it... and with some insight of events I've seen from your mind perhaps I could crack the code easier... I'm homing into two events... that created great circumstances in the chain of causes for this."

"Once you figure it out, you can stop it. And that will change this future. I still have visions. Mostly of the past now. You'll figure it out. And this world will change for the better."

AFR smiled. "Thank you... your faith in us is very reassuring, Rose." He felt a lot better about things now... like they actually could make a difference. "I do have a question for you though..." Since she was right there. "So when Bianca and I get married and such... why were you crying so much?"

She smiled a little and shook her head at him. "When you see the things that I see, you find little happiness in anything. I already knew what would happen before you and Bianca were wed. From Dominic's birth to Bianca's untimely death and yours."

AFR smiled... he patted her shoulder... "well... we're working on changing the latter two." He stretched a bit... "I still want Dominic... but I let her die by having him... if I can't find a way to have them both..." He grew silent... he didn't want to think that way.

AFR nodded slowly... "I hope so... because what I saw gave me none... I will fight for that answer... don't you worry about that."

!Rose glanced at him. "I need you to forcefully bring hr back with you." AFR would know who she was talking about

AFR looked to her and nodded. "Wouldn't dream of leaving without her." Of course not. Where'd he be really without her? "I will, don't worry, Rose.

"She wants to stay. Badly. To prove me wrong."

AFR sighed... "she will prove you in the wrong in her own time with her own heart... she just has to realize this and I won't leave without her... not on my life." He shook his head. "I'm actually in a way glad she feels that way, but not at the expense of losing us for it. The fastest way for her to become you is by trying to beat you."
