Author's note.
Anastasia and Dimitri are grown up and with the family at the Ipatiev house in 1918.
Dimitri didn't not like this place at all. The Bolsheviks called it The House of Special Purpose and there was only one special purpose Dimitri could think of and he wasn't telling anyone even Anastasia over fear the family might panic. Ever since the Abdication of Nicholas the second things had been bad for everyone. Dimitri was one of the few loyal servants that followed the family to Tobolsk and finally to Yekaterinburg. He was in the hallway when Anastasia headed into the bathroom and a guard started to follow her. Dimitri grabbed the guard ,knocked him down ,and shut the bathroom door.
"Pervert! Have you ever heard of privacy? ',Dimitri said.
"We have to follow them for security reasons. ",the guard said.
"Ah Hah and I am the czar of Russia. You Bolsheviks lie worse then Lenin himself. ',Dimitri said.
"The commandant will hear of this. ",the guard said as he stormed off.
Anastasia came out and looked at Dimitri. She like her sisters was dressed in simple maid gowns and her hair was short due to the girls suffering from the measles in 1917. She wore a white blouse and a black skirt.
"Thanks Dimitri. Those Bolsheviks are such babies. ",Anastasia said.
"Dimitri! The commandant wants to see you now. ",another guard said.
Dimitri followed the guard to the commandant's office. Inside Yakov Yurovsky the commandant was sitting at his desk smoking a drag and with his feet up.
"Hello Dimitri again. ",Yurovsky said.
"Hello Yurovsky. ",Dimitri answered.
"You have been quite a shbivzik lately. ",Yurovsky said.
"People called Anastasia that. ',Dimitri said.
"You knocked a guard following Anastasia into the bathroom. ",Yurovsky said.
"The girls deserve privacy. You follow them into the bathroom , put them through those awful searches everyday even thou they never leave the house or go outside the fence , and the men are always drunk on duty. ",Dimitri said.
"If they were imperial guards they would have been dismissed or imprisoned. ",Dimitri said.
"They are Bolsheviks who will help bring about a fair and free Russia. ",Yurovsky said.
"Leave the former grand duchesses alone. They lost their titles when their father abdicated last year. They have committed no crimes against the state. Any charges you people have brought up against the girls and Alexei are false. ",Dimitri said.
"They are criminals and you are becoming one by inferring with my men. Leave them alone or else. ",Yurovsky said.
"Or what you will kill me? ",Dimitri asked.
"Maybe or imprison you elsewhere. ",Yurovsky said.
"Go and remember what I said. ",Yurovsky continued.
Dimitri left the office and headed to the living room where the family was sitting.
"What was that about Dimitri?",Anastasia asked.
"Yurovsky was upset about me pulling that guard out of the bathroom. He threatened me to stop harassing his men. ",Dimitri explained.
"He threatened to have me imprisoned. ",Dimitri continued.
"That is crazy. You are already imprisoned with us. ",Alexandra said.
'I didn't have to come along. I could have stayed back at the Catherine Palace. ",Dimitri said.
"We are glad you came Dimitri. ",Maria said.
"Thanks guys. ",Dimitri said.
Dimitri got up and headed for his room. He Whispered something in Anestassia's ear.
"Meet me downstairs tonight at nine in the room in front of the storeroom. ",Dimitri whispered.
Later that night Anastasia sneaked downstairs to the cellar where Dimitri was waiting. She didn't notice that Tatiana was following her.
"Anastasia I may have found a way to get us out of here. ",Dimitri said as he and Anastasia held hands and drew close.
Tatiana stood in the door watching. Dimitri put his arm around Anastasia.
"Do you mean all of us? ",Anastasia asked.
"I mean the two of us. It would too hard trying to get eight people out of here. ",Dimitri answered.
"I can't leave my family. ",Anastasia said.
"Your in danger here. I don't believe they will let any of you live for much longer. ",Dimitri said.
"I can't live and let them die. ",Anastasia sad.
"I love you and don't want to lose you Anastasia. ",Dimitri said.
"Come on kiss him. ",Tatiana whispered to herself.
"I love you Dimitri. ",Anastasia said.
Their lips drew close ,but Dimitri pushed Anastasia's face away from him.
"I can't. Grand Duchesses don't marry kitchen boys. ",Dimitri said sadly.
"Ugh ",groaned Tatiana.
Anastasia heard her sister in the door. She and Dimitri split. Anastasia turned to face her sister.
"Tatiana! What are you doing here? ",Anastasia asked.
"What? You think I don't know about you two or that dance you have back after that ball in 1916?",Tatiana answered as she came forward.
"You saw that? ",Dimitri said.
"Yes I have known about you guys for a long time. ",Tatiana said.
Back in 1916 Anastasia is wearing a yellow dress with a light blue ribbon around her waist , a yellow Kokoshnik with diamonds , and a blue ribbon in her hair. She had told Dimitri to meet her in the ballroom after a ball had ended. Tatiana held behind a door frame wearing all her finery and was watching everything. Dimitri came in wearing his green vest ,light green shirt ,white undershirt ,and brown pants. He approached Anastasia standing in the middle of the room.
"Dance with me Dimitri. ",Anastasia said.
"Dancing bears ,painted wings. Things I almost remember. ",sang Anastasia.
They danced for a while and drew close afterword.
"I love you Anastasia. ",Dimitri said.
"I love you to. ",Anastasia said.
They started to kiss and Dimitri stopped them.
"Grand Duchesses don't marry kitchen boys. ",Dimitri said and then he left.
"Rats!",Tatiana said to herself.
Tatiana slipped away quietly.
"You should tell mom and dad your in love. ",Tatiana said.
"They won't like it and would send me away. ',Dimitri replied.
"They can't send anyone anywhere right now. If you don't tell them tomorrow morrning I will. ",Tatiana said.
"Alright we will. ",Anastasia said.
They left the cellar and headed to bed.
