This day started out like any other day for Rose, before she made her way to Headquarters, she stopped by for her usual 'checking in' at her bakery in New York .  One of her bakers greeted her with a "Good Morning," as she gathered the box of fresh chocolate drizzled croissants, and a bag of her favorite Italian blend coffee.  Rose tries to spoil her Family with a taste from the Old Country from time to time.  

When she arrived at Headquarters, Rose noticed the peaceful quiet.  Briefly, she had wondered where everyone was at this time of morning, but it was just a fading thought.  She prepared a pot of the Italian blend, and sat down with a cup enjoying the few moments of silence.  She was sipping her coffee, and thinking about her schedule for the day.  After arriving home from weeks of traveling, her bossman informed Rose last night that she was to stay in the Bronx for a few days.  Rose was not entirely sure if there was a problem or what, but when her Godfather speaks, she listens.

Lost in her thoughts she did not hear the troublemaker approaching her from behind.  Waiting until he was close beside her, Faceman startled her with his abrupt tone.  "Rose!"   

Rose jumps in her seat, almost spilling her coffee, turning to glare at him.  He usually makes her smile with his nonsense, but today his face was nothing but serious, which caused her to wonder what was going on.  

"Cantillon wants to see you ....now. "   

Discarding her coffee, Rose walks towards the door, trying to hide her discomfort.  Ever since she has known Faceman, he was always a jokester with her.  Her mother and grandmother's journals tell stories of his antics.  She has been able to trust him from day one, and he has protected her as he did her ancestors.  He alone was responsible for her ancestors coming to The Farm all that time ago.  Her bloodline has grown remarkably with his help, so his tone combined with his abrupt departure from the room, she was beginning to worry a little.

She didn't have to ask where her Godfather would be at this time of the morning.  She knew he would be outside, at his favorite tree.  She made her way through the garden, her eyes focused on the ground careful of where she was walking, noticing the carrots sporting a bright green colored stem.  A fabulous crop turn out this year, the carrots have been just perfect and full of color.  Bossman was up ahead, just a short distance away, shears in hand snipping away at his favorite tree.  

As protector of The Farm, Bossman always makes sure every detail is taken care of, from his beloved tree to each and every member of his Family.  Walking up quietly towards the tree, Rose almost wondered if Bossman knew she was there, but his quiet tone startled her when he turned to her speaking with a certain calmness.

"Rose.  You know how I value your hard work you have always done for this Family, but I am not going to sugar coat it.  There is just no room for you to grow here.  The time has come for me to cut you loose from The Farm."   

Her heart dropped upon hearing this.  How? Why? What was she doing wrong?  The shocked look on her face caused her Godfather to pause and smile.  Confused at his cheerful attitude, she noticed him pulling from his pocket a set of keys.  Offering his hand out, jingling the keys, he looks to Rose with a serious expression.  

"There's a place not far from here, that needs a bit of work to get it going.  With your dedication and hard work, you will have it ready in no time.  Rose."   He paused to give a smirky grin.  "It's time for you to branch out, and allow yourself to bloom."  

Smiling at his attempt of humor, Rose hugs her Bossman, then takes the keys,  Her mind is already rambling in a thousand different directions.  Plans to be made in making her dream a reality.  Could she do this?  She damn sure can, and she will.  

"Bossman, I will do you proud, I promise!   Thank you very much for this opportunity.  I won't let you down.  Oh!... I know just what name to use!!"

With excitement Rose begins to walk off towards Headquarters.  First things first.  She needed to make a few phone calls and round up some people.  She was already making a mental list, when Bossman calls out to her causing her to stop her daydreaming, and turn around.

"By the way Rose, what name ARE you going to use?"

Laughing softly as she realizes she had just walked off without telling him.  

With a huge smile she says,  "Well.  How about ....The White Rose Crime Family."

Smiling as she jingles the keys in excitement, Rose resumes her path back to Headquarters.  Her smile fades a little thinking of the family and friends she will be bidding farewell to in a few moments, but holding her head up she isn't moving across the pond to the Old Country, just down the road a ways.  Faces floating through her mind, valuable people she needed with her to help make this dream a success, Redrum, Shane_McMahon, Jaysanity, Raven_G and ShawnRaje.

Looking up to the back entrance to Headquarters, Rose notices Shawn standing there with a bit of concern, curious if everything was alright.  As she drew closer to him, her smile was unstoppable.  Jingling the keys excitedly again, she begins her rambling.

"Shawn!!  Where is Jay?  We need to find him!  And ..and ..we need to get ahold of Redrum, Raven_G and Shane stat.  Guess what...!!"

Grabbing his arm excitedly as they went inside, she rambled on about all the stuff they needed to get started on.  Perhaps a nice garden of white roses would look spectacular at her Headquarters.  Her Headquarters...wow oh wow she was ready to show this world of theirs what she is capable of....

 --,--'--,--{@     The White Rose Crime Family    @}--,--'--,--

Jay sits alone on the second level of the barn, as he does everyday the boss doesn't need him. He's made that little spot up there his little home away from home; a few packs beers, a few packs of cigarettes, a few books of matches, and of course chocolate. He's gone through a few cigarettes already this morning, and two beers. He's had a lot on his mind lately, and finally feels as if he were relaxing. He shuts his eyes and lays back into his pillow on top of a pile of hay, slowly starting to go to sleep.

"JAY?!? ARE YOU IN HERE?"

The loud voice not only wakes him up, but causes him to fall off the second level into the big pile of hay below. Rose, the owner of the voice, shrieks and runs over to him, helping him up and  picks bits of hay out of his hair.

"Are you alright?" She asks, offering up a smile.

"I'm fine." he growls, getting to his feet and placing his hat back on his head. "What's with all the screamin' n' yellin' anyway?".

Her smile widens as Jay's expression goes from annoyed to curious. "What is the most amazing thing that could happen around here?"

He looks around the barn room, "Maybe building a better place for me to hang out at..." he responds.

Rose giggles, "No, silly, we aren't building you a new place to hide from everyone. However, I am having a little... change in scenery". She takes the keys out of her pocket, showing them to him.

He looks at the keys, then back up to her. "I'm getting my own crew!" She screams out, making jay cringe a bit.

"Jeez Rose, take it down a notch... Congrats on becoming a-" Before he can finish his sentence, she hugs him as if trying to squeeze the life out of him.

"I want you to come with me, Jay. I could really use you with me." She releases her grasp and looks up at him with hopeful eyes.

"Well... I don't-"

"Pleeeeeeeeeeeaaaasssseeee"

"Let me just-"

"Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaasssssssseeee"

"Rose, don't make me-"

"Please please please please PLEAAAAAAAAAASEEE"

"FINE, damnit... I'll join your crew." he finally says, giving up an attempt  to make an excuse. In his mind, he already knew he'd say yes, but he'd never let her know that. Either way, his answer makes her leap into the air with joy. "YAY, thank you JJ. Now, we should really discuss-"

"Can we discuss it after i've taken a nap?" He scratches his head " You're definitely dippin' into my Jay-time.." 

She laughs and nods her head, then makes her way out of the barn. He shakes his head and climbs back up the ladder to his favorite little spot. As he closes his eyes, he begins thinking to himself, "Rose with her own crew, eh?... This outta be interesting". After a few minutes, he falls peacefully asleep.

Rose was in the middle of her rambling with Shawn when she had remembered where JJ would most likely be.  The barn!!  She asked Shawn to go find out where Redrum, Raven and Shane were, so she can tell them the news.  

She knew JJ liked the dark, secluded place, but this could not wait.  She had ventured there excitedly, and after scaring him half to death she got things settled.  She knew he would not let her down.  Making her way back to Headquarters, Rose found Shawn on the phone.  She barely waited until he hung up before her screeching began.

"JJ is all set!! Yay!"

"Did you find out where they all were?"

Nodding to her, Shawn informed her they were tracked down as he handed her a piece of paper with three phone numbers.  Moving closer to the phone, she dials the first number as she taps her foot all excitedly.

"Shane!  The time has finally come!  I am getting my own Headquarters!  Now I am gonna need your help to get things organized."

Rose rambles in her familiar way, and Shane is unable to get a word in edgewise yet.  Taking a short pausing breath, she continues to ramble on excitedly.

"How soon can you meet us over here at The Farm?  Then we can head over there together.  There is just so much to get started on."

The millionaire-boy sat at his desk listening to her ramble on and on. A glass full of scotch and his eyes looking over some paper. He gave a sigh after she finally finished and lifted the glass up to his lips and took a sip of his drink.

"I can meet you soon." He said and lowered the drink back down, two ice cubes flicking against the glass, "Are you sure you're ready for all this?"

She replied with a happy glee of "Yes!" and the McMahon finished his drink and rose up, "I'll be over in about an hour."

Shane hung up the phone and moved out the door, grabbing a coat and hat from a hanger nearby the door. He entered a vehicle and, within the specified time was at the rendezvous point.

"Rose," he called out, hand on the brim of his hat, "I'm here. Anything you need to tell me?"

Turning to Shawn after making the first phone call to Shane, Rose smiles.

"Well Shane is on his way.  Let's see, I need to call Raven now."

Tracking down Raven was not as hard as she thought it would be, as he loved to visit the casinos.  He was expecting her call back, so it did not take long to get him on the phone. 

"Raven!  I need you to come to The Farm.  Mhmm.  Yep!  That's right, time for our Family to take root and blossom together.  Mhmm. Okay, I will see you shortly then."

Turning back to Shawn, she smiles as one more is on their way.  This is just going to be perfect.

"Now I just need to get ahold of Redrum, and we will be set."

Making her final call, Rose gives Redrum the best news he has been waiting for.  She barely gave him time to answer 'hello'.

"Sunshine, Oh guess what time it is!  Yes, yes, yes it is finally time."  She pauses briefly listening to his congratulations, then proceeds on with her usual speed of rambling.

"I need you to meet the rest of us here at The Farm, so we can go to the new Headquarters together.  Yeah.  No, it isn't too far from The Farm.   Mhmm.  Yes of course I am so excited.  Okay.  See ya soon!"

Soon as she hangs the phone up, she vaguely hears a knock at the door, then a familiar voice speaking.  Smiling once she saw Shane had arrived on time, she explains how they are just waiting on Redrum and Raven to get here very soon.  Rose rambles on naming off several things needing to be done first before she left The Farm.  Then talking about some of the plans for the new Headquarters, she never loses her smile as she rambles on...

Raven was thankful for his day off. He had been at his favorite casino and was enjoying one of his favorite Cuban cigars. That was interrupted as the phone began to ring. Raven walked over to the phone picks it up, and answers in a low but calm voice, "Hello?"

He recognizes the female voice, and the nonstop rambling.  Then he heard the simple words, "Meet me at the Farm."

Before he could reply, the line went cold. Shaking his head as he smiled, Raven knew Rose was just excited, and probably got disconnected.  He got his jacket and headed out.  Destination, The Farm.

Redrum was hard at work in his NYC bar when he heard the phone ring, he took a pull from his cigarette as he threw down his towel and walked over to answer it. He picked up the phone and on the other line was his mother, Rose.

"Hello mama what's up? Bold time ?!? That's amazing news, congratz I'm very happy for you. Ok let me close up the bar and I'll be right over, depending on traffic it may take me an hour or so.."

He hung up the phone, and headed to the back room of the Knights Bar to put on his black suit and to grab Rose's present. It was a old gold watch that his ancestor had brought over when his bloodline first came to these shores. It was the only material object that had any meaning to him besides his father's flask, and zipo. With the gift in his left hand, Redrum outs his smoke, and grabs his hat as he rushes out the door. He quickly turns around to holler at Tony to either close up shop or take over the bar until he returns. Redrum shuts the door behind him and pulls his keys out of his pocket. He walks over to the driver side of his Buick to unlock the door, he hops in the car and fires up the engine. Just like that, the journey to the Farm begins...

Her nerves already bouncing off the wall, as she talks about various topics with Shawn, Raven and Shane as they wait for Redrum to show up. Glancing at the time once more, she knows he will be here any minute.  She was going over some stuff again as Raven had just arrived, and excitedly discussing a few plans.  Rose knows how quiet Raven is, so she continues her excited rambling and smiling as they wait.

Moments later she hears the sound of a familiar voice whispering in her ear.  "Hey Mama!"

Jumping at the sound of his voice, Rose gets up and hugs him tightly.  "Oh, Sunshine I just cannot wait to go look at the new Headquarters.  I am so glad you are going with me, with us!"

Redrum laughs at her enthusiasm as usual.  "Calm down Mama.  Here I brought you something, but you have to wait to open it when we get to the new Headquarters."

Frowning slightly, he knows she does not like to wait.  Well, fine then!  Rose looks over towards Shawn, smiling so much.  She jingles her keys, showing how anxious she is ready to get going. 

"Shawn, I think we better get JJ, so we can say our goodbyes and stuff.  He is still sleeping in the barn."

All of a sudden, Rose gets up from the gathered group, and walks to the back door a moment.  She glances out looking towards the garden and Bossman's favorite tree.  This....this is the hard part here.  Having to leave The Farm.  Bossman, Faceman, Derge.  People she will no longer see day in and day out.  Times change and life goes on.  

She smiles as Shawn is now standing beside her, putting his arm around her.  She knows she has a great Family here at The Farm.  She also knows that soon she will begin her own Family and watch it grow.

Shawn smiles to himself on seeing Rose excited. He sees Shane and Redrum talking and moves over to welcome them.

“Hey Shane, Hi Redrum, what’s up guys.  Looks like our dreams are gonna come true after all.”

As he talks with them about the plans for the district in walks the Raven, all turn to welcome Raven.

“Hey Raven, God of Gambling! Welcome to the party dude!“

As they continue discussing, Shawn notices Rose leaving the group abruptly.  Knowing Rose, he goes to her, putting his arm around her holding her.  He gives a squeeze on her shoulder.  Together as they stand there, they look out towards the garden.

“Rose, I know how difficult it is for you to move away from here.  Just remember we are not actually moving out, we are branching out. You are what you are today because of them.  Now the time has come for you to repay.  Let’s go and make them proud”

As they return to the group, Shawn smiles at everyone.

“Guys we have lot of work to do in this district.  We need to work together as team to get things up and running fast.  We need to set an example for the other crews.  I need every one if you to pitch in, and take up responsibilities. We start by setting up the HQ.  Now let’s go, and check out the new HQ!  Redrum pick up some champagne on the way.  Guys, let’s started.”

As he starts to move towards his car, Rose glares as she call out “SHAWWNNN! We need to get JJ before that!“

Shawn grins sheepishly.  Shawn grits his teeth as he says,

“I will go and get that demon myself“

Everyone laughs as Shawn runs off to find JJ.  He knows very well where to find his “Made Man Brother”.

Rose watches Shawn go after JJ, and softly smiling thinking about the pair of them.  Shaking her head at them sometimes, but she adored them both.  She sighs softly knowing it is time for goodbyes.  She quietly goes off in the direction of the tree once more, attempting to hold back the tears as she reaches Bossman's favorite tree.  Clearing her throat softly to gain his attention, she blinks rapidly.

"Well.....it is...time to go now.  Everyone is rounded up, and we are ready to head over there.  Thank you for everything Bossman.  I will make you proud!!"

Giving him a tight hug, she sighs softly as she heads back inside to say farewell to two more dear friends.  As she steps back inside the Headquarters, she notices Derge heading her way.  Before she reached him, Derge smiled then surprised her with a hug.  He wished her congratulations and best of luck. 

Rose turns towards the one who brought her ancestors to this awesome Family.  Faceman has been her protector, and her ancestors protector since day one. 

"Well Faceman, this is it."  She looks off away from his gaze to control her tears then turns back to him.  "Time for me get going to the new place.  I am gonna miss you bunches!!  Try to behave and stay out of trouble."

Giving her awesome protector a hug, Rose heads off to gather her group before she lets loose a flood of tears.  As Redrum, Raven and Shane head outside with her, she sees Shawn and JJ heading their way.  With everyone ready to go, she gives one more lingering look to the place she has called home before they set off on their journey together.  Smiling as she thinks about one Family creating another Family.

Derge, standing on the of the street near Rosalie's new home, opens up his last bottle of Macallan scotch and begins to pour glasses out in means of starting a toast.

To good times and good health! Congratulations on getting a family Rose! Do not forget the monkeys anytime soon!

​After a good drink, Derge goes on about the celebrations
