(Memory from Rosie) Ps. It's 1940 

I was getting ready for the day, it's April 15th 1940. I kept my hair down and wore my best dress. 

"Rosie? Are you dressed?" Asked Steve, though the door, i opened the door and there he stood, short stevie. 

"You bet, C'mon" I said, today I would be put in ice! Though I don't see what's excited about that, it just seems nice. I had just turned 19 as well, 15 days ago, on April 1st. I put on a pair of flats, there was a knock at the door, Steve answered it 

"Hey, Steve" Said Bucky, stepping in 

"Nice to see you" Said Steve 

"I could say the same to you" Said Bucky, he wore his green uniform. Bucky had been in the military for some time now, he joined when he was 16 and now he's 22, steve's 21. 

"Whaddya say we walk Rose." Said Bucky 

"Sure, why not?" Said steve, I got up 

"Ok, I'm ready to go" I said, Bucky smiled 

"Nice to see you, rose" Said Bucky 

"Same to you" I said, we had left the house and walked, we were walking to S.H.I.E.L.D, that's where I would be frozen. Peggy worked there too, she was a year younger than me, she was also teaching me how to use a gun. We were walking down the street, Bucky reached inside his pockets 

"Hey, Rosie. I got this for you, just so you can remember Steve and I" Said Bucky, he handed me a compass, I opened it and at the top was a picture of Bucky. 

"Thanks, buck" I said

"Thanks, buck" I said 

"No problem. Hey and if you press this here, the compass flips up" Said Bucky, he pressed a button and the compass flipped up, a picture of Steve was underneath 

"Gee, thanks!" I said, he nodded 

"So, how are you gonna like it here without me?" I asked Steve 

"I dunno. Maybe I'll try and join the military." Said steve 

"Good luck with that, Steve. I mean it" I said 

"Thanks?" He said 

"Really, i do. Just don't do anything reckless." I said 

"I think you missed the part where I said Im going to join the military." Said steve 

"Nope I heard right" I said, we arrived and went inside 

"Rosie, just in time. You should change, just go in there" Said Peggy, i nodded 

"Peggy, i think you know who they are." I said, she nodded and I went to change, Peggy escorted me to a room, full with scientists and workers of S.H.I.E.L.D. 

"I trust you have everything?" Said Peggy, i nodded. I kept the compass Bucky gave me underneath my shorts, i didn't have pockets. 

"You should say goodbye" Said Peggy, i nodded and went over to the boys 

"Well, i guess this is goodbye" I said, they nodded, Bucky tossed a mug and I opened a portal underneath it, and opened one above the desk, making it land on the desk 

"Nice try, buck" I  said, he chuckled 

"We'll reunite someday" Said Steve, i hugged steve 

"I love you" I said, still hugging Steve 

"I love you, too" Said steve, I pulled away and hugged Bucky 

"Goodbye, Bucky" I said 

"We'll see you again" Said Bucky 

"Keep me in the freezer, and I'll be fine" I joked, he chuckled 

"Rosie, we're ready" Said Peggy, i saluted to the boys and walked away, but they stayed. 

"Is that all, Rose?" asked Peggy 

"yup" I said, she nodded and helped me into a capsule, i waved my last goodbye to the boys and the capsule closed. I stood still as the walls around me froze, and eventually me.
