~ Bakugou goes and gets his bag and walks outside. He digs in his bag and brings out the music box. He sighed.
-------------------------------------------------------
Bakugou and Kirishima leave the theater and head down the street.
"I'm sorry Bakugou, its game over! Our last kopeck ( Russian currency) gone for that flea - infested theater, and still no girl to pretend to be Princess Y/N!" Kirishima said frustrated.
"Relax shity hair, were fine! We'll find her. She's here somewhere, right under our noses. Don't forget, one look at this jewelry box and the Empress will think we've brought the real Y/N "
Unbeknownst by them, N/N was right by them.
"Excuse me Sir, I'm looking for the Catherine...."
( Bakugou bumps into N/N)
N/N looks behind her but only saw the back of their heads. She continues.
" do you know where that is?"
"....and before she catches on, we'll be off spending the ten million rubles!" Bakugou exclaimed while walking away.
"Sorry theres nothing there. No, no there is no one living there, go on." The stranger said to N/N. N/N sighs.
(Time Skip)
It was late afternoon and N/N and Izuku found the abandoned palace.
N/N and Izuku cautiously move in towards the boarded up doorway. Izuku suddenly runs through an opening at the bottom of the door. N/N goes to the door calling Izuku while looking between the boards, looking for Izuku inside.
"Izuku, Izuku, Izuku where are you?"
N/N pulls on a board which comes loose and she falls backward with a crash.
"AAH! OOF!"
Over on the other side of the deserted palace Kirishima and Bakugou were eating when Bakugou heard something and stood up.
"Oi, shitty hair, did you hear something?"
"No"
Bakugou grumbles. He did hear something or was it just him imagining the noise?
N/N enters the vestibule of the Winter Palace. Izuku follows N/N throughout the palace as they check every hall and explored every room seeing mostly dust, cobwebs, cracked statues and other objects. N/N goes to another set of steps. Once at the top she turns her head toward two large open palace doors.
"Hello anybody home?"
N/N enters the partially destroyed room and bends down to inspect half of a broken plate. The instant she touches it she sees a vision from her past which startled her. She walks to a large vase, painted with dancing bears.
"This place its...its like a memory from a dream."
N/N wanders to the top of a grand staircase that leads down to the once grand ballroom. She stops at a large landing half way down the steps. N/N is taken by the frieze of the Romonov family. The moonlight hits the portrait with a ghostly glow.
N/N suddenly begins to sing to the melody in her head that almost sounded so familiar, like she heard of it before.
(Play music)
"Dancing bears, painted wings things I almost remember. And a song someone sings once upon a December.
Someone holds me safe and warm.
Horses prance through a silver storm.
Figures dancing gracefully across my memory."
She wonders into the ballroom and imagines what it had looked like before. In her imagination she sees the room transform to its once formal glory. The room shimmered with golden dust ( A/N something like pixie dust). When the ballroom was finished paintings on the walls started to move. Even ghosts, who were once living royalty, stepped out of the portraits and started waltzing on the floor. Izuku sits on top of the steps as he watches N/N spin in the middle of the ballroom with the ghosts.
"Someone holds me safe and warm.
Horses prance through a silver storm.
Figures dancing gracefully across my memory."
N/N spins to a stop when she is surrounded by familiar looking girls as they all happily smile and one places a shimmering necklace on her. As N/N spins, her outfit of rags turn into a beautiful golden ballgown with a blue ribbon sash tied on her waist. Her hair having a blue ribbon in it (or not if that's your choice), and a grand tiara on top of her head. She looked like princess.
"Far away, long ago glowing dim as an ember"
N/N danced from ghost gentlemen to ghost gentlemen as the Czar, his wife, and children appear in the ballroom and step forward, gliding towards N/N.
"Things my heart used to know.
Things it yearns to remember."
N/N stops in front of the Czar. He extends his arms, inviting her to dance. She accepts. They slow dance a bit before he hugs her and releases her.
N/N looked into the eyes of the Czar and could see the sadness and grief in them but also the relief and joy mixed in. At the same time he was familiar. Like she knew him and the family behind him to.
"And a song someone sings..."
The ghostly man, she used to call father, kissed her on the forehead and slowly backed away.
"Once upon a December"
As soon as N/N drops down to a curtsey, a loud, sudden voice breaks into her head making her come back to reality.
"Hey!"
