Alexei's POV

"Alexei..."

"Lyosha..."

"Alexis Nicholaevitch..."

"ALEXIS NICHOLAEVITCH ROMANOV!"

" What! What! Who- what- where! I'm up I'm up!"

"Guess what?"

" What?"

"No come on! You have to guess!"

"Nastya- it is 7 o'clock in the morning what is it!"

"Not telling till you guess" she said in a sing-song voice.

" We're eating Blini for breakfast?"

"Nope."

"Mama's evil dog Ara finally died."

"No, but I wish. That nasty little thing bit me twice yesterday."

" I give up, you win you imp! Tell me what it is!"

"Well you know how it snowed yesterday?"

"Yeah?"

" The guards built us a snow mountain!"

"For sledding?"

" What else could it be for you ding-dong! Hurry up and get dressed!"

"Alright! I'll still beat you down there!"

"In your dreams!"

I got out of bed and got dressed as fast as I could. The snow mountains where a special treat- especially for me because I was rarely in good enough health to actually go sledding. I raced downstairs and out side Anastasia was waiting for me and snapped my picture.

" What was that for?!"

" I just wanted to capture the look of defeat on your face! Come on! Let's go!" She giggled and ran off.

"Hey!" I raced after her.

Oh boy- she's got it coming to her now!
