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!
