[color=AD2841]"That's right Paloma...never lose hope!"[/color] Rosie spoke dramatically as she held a clutched fist close her chest, imitating the act of crying to accentuate the performance.

Rosie knew full well that asking for something as luxurious as bacon in wartime rations was wishful thinking, but she wouldn't let it stop her from dreaming. It didn't matter if today's breakfast had bacon or even baked bread. The mere possibility made put a smile on her face. She would be happy with anything as long as she could have it with her extended her family, even Yori and Victoria who could sometimes be a prickly...just like a cactus! She imagined their faces planted on a giant cactus and suppressed the following giggle by quickly placing her own hand on her lips. She waited for Maxi to enter the mess hall before following close behind to get some food.

Rosie gave a sharp salute towards Maxi as she received the surprise [color=AD2841]"There goes our fearless leader....gone too soon."[/color] She spoke as though Maxi was already dead.

Despite there not being any bacon, the menu was not all that bad [color=AD2841]"I'll take the potato cakes and apple sauce, please!" [/color] Rosie happily spoke as she approached Vinny with a bright smile. While he certainly gave some people a hard time, Vinny was always nice to her. He even gave her a little extra in her rations at times so he wasn't such a bad guy!

After receiving her food, she pratically skipped over to Yori beaming that same smile [color=AD2841]"Look Yori! It may not be as glorious as bacon, but it's not bad right? At least not as bad as Vinny's surprise."[/color] She let out a small giggle, looking over at Maxi [color=AD2841]"So, how about we sit together and enjoy it? Ya know, Maxi might just lay off ya for a little..."[/color] Rosie wagged her finger in the air and gave him a not-so-discreet wink.

There was enough with the war going on to be sad or bitter about so it was important to have fun where possible. While her father never told her everything about EW1, she knew enough to understand it was going to be tough. Hell, it might be the toughest experience she will ever go through. She took a look around at all the familiar faces that surrounded her right now. No matter happens, she would never give up on any of them. Was it wrong to want to be there for them even when the fighting was over? Rosie wanted to show everyone that it was possible to keep a positive outlook, even when in the darkest of times. Time would tell if Rosie's beliefs would last under the fires of war.
