"Oh no," I shook my head, "No way am I doing that."

Christian smiled evilly at me, "You have to! You were nominated!"

"Yeah, by you!" I grumbled, "Dimitri, tell him I don't have to do it."

My traitorous fiancé grinned and leaned back on the lounge chair lazily, "Roza, it's for charity."

I groaned, "But I donated! I did my part. I don't want to be soaked."

Lissa giggled prettily, "You won't be soaked, Rose. It's just one bucket."

Before I could respond, Christian cut in, "It would only be one bucket if Rose had only been nominated once. But since Jill, Eddie and I all nominated her, she has to go big or go home."

I groaned and rolled off of my lounge chair.

From the grass, I muttered, "I hate you all."

Dimitri threw his t-shirt at me. It hit my back as he said, "Look at it this way, you can renominate Christian."

I rolled onto my back and grinned wickedly at my best friend's husband, "Oh goody! Fire Boy, get ready!"

Christian twitched his lip up into a scowl aimed at Dimitri, "Thanks, Belikov."


I bounced from foot to foot, nervously watching as Dimitri and Christian filled a cooler with water and ice.

"Are you sure I have to be soaked?" I'd never admit it, but there was a hint of a whine in my voice.

"Yes!" Christian and Dimitri shouted at the same time.

"Just give it up, Rose. You're not getting out of this," Lissa smiled from a few feet away where she was setting up her video camera to record.

"Shut up," I said, "You haven't done this challenge yet."

"I'm a Queen," Lissa said, sticking her nose in the air faux-haughtily, "It's unbecoming for me to be doused in ice water."

"Brat," I laughed, tossing my tank top at her.

I sighed; standing in my bikini and waiting to be drenched in ice water was not my idea of a good Saturday.

"Ready, Rose?" Christian laughed.

"As I'll ever be," I grimaced back.

Lissa hit the button on her camera, "Ready!"

I blew out a breath, "Hey everyone. So I was challenged by Jill Mastrano, Eddie Castile, and your very own King,Christian Dragomir."

Christian shouted behind me, cutting me off, "You know for a fact that Liss took my name."

I laughed, "We all know that you're beyond whipped, Fire Boy."

Christian's next gesture made me laugh and shout, "That was very not kingly, Your Highness."

"Rose!" Dimitri shouted, "Just get on with it."

"Ah, right," I turned back to the camera, "Now that you've all had the first act, let me continue. So those three challenged me to do the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. And I accept. I challenge..."

I fidgeted in my spot, deciding who to challenge, "Sydney Sage, Sonya Karp, Christian Ozera, and our very own Queen Vasilisa Dragomir-Ozera."

Lissa protested from behind the camera, but I didn't have time to focus on it since Dimitri and Christian dumped the ice water over my head in the next second.

I screamed, shrieked really, as soon as the icy water hit my head.

"Noooo! Fuck!" I shouted, dancing in place as the water dropped down my back.

I could hear Dimitri's deep laughter behind me and I rounded on him, "I'm going to kill you!"

He laughed harder, "Oh, Roza, you should see yourself right now."

I pushed my long, wet hair put of my eyes, scowling.

"Liss, I want a copy of this video," Christian grinned, sitting down on the overturned cooler.

"I hate all of you," I muttered, shaking my head like a dog and grinning when they all protested as the drops of water hit them.


A/N: The promised 200K fic. Since the ALS ice bucket challenge is all over the internet, I figured it was Rose's turn.
