"What is it?"

"Holy crap! Oh my God Rose! That's so cool."

"Roza, I..."

Rose, Dimitri, Lissa and Christian sat around a table in one of the Court's small dining rooms that Lissa had rented out for Christmas lunch. All their other friends and family had left a few minutes ago to visit others and call up some people to wish them a Merry Christmas.

Dimitri had just opened up a gift from Rose; it was a small envelope that he carefully tore open in a very Dimitri-like manner. As he pulled out the contents of the gift he gasped and sat staring at the four rectangle pieces of paper in his hands. His eyes were wide with shock and happiness. Rose had a very large grin plastered on her face as she watched Dimitri.

Christian was sitting directly across from Dimitri at the round table and so he couldn't see what it said on the papers. Lissa was sitting next to him and leaned over to read the paper as soon as he gasped and had congratulated Rose on her amazing present to her boyfriend.

"Pretty great, huh?" Rose asked with a raise of her eyebrows. She still wore her self-satisfactory smirk.

"Roza this is amazing. This is the best gift anybody could ever give me. Thank you." Dimitri had finally unfrozen himself to respond to Rose and was smiling at her with love in his eyes.

They both stood up and kissed for a moment before Dimitri lifted Rose up in a hug and spun her around twice. Rose giggled like a teenager in love.

"So what the hell was it?" Christian demanded, annoyed that he'd been left in the dark.

Lissa leaned over to him and patted his hand. "She got him four tickets to Russia so that we could all go and visit his family in Baia."

...

Four days after New Year's Day the four of them got off the plane after hours on hours flying.

"Jesus Christ, finally! I don't remember the flight being this long the first time I came to Russia!" Rose exclaimed as they exited the plane.

"Rose." Lissa said disapprovingly.

"Well it's true! That flight felt like days! I was totally claustrophobic in that metal death trap. And that annoying brat behind me kept kicking my seat." Rose replied still agitated and quite jet lagged.

"The way I remember it was that the first 5 hours you and Christian alternated arguing and mocking each other and then laughing and mocking the other passengers and flight attendants. The next 12 hours you both crashed and slept, thank God. And then when you woke up you both went back to mocking people. It didn't seem to awful for you to me." Dimitri said in a calm controlled voice.

"Yeah but remember when they kids dad went to the bathroom and you turned around and threatened to throw him out the window?" Christian added laughing.

...

For the past ten minutes the 10 year old boy sitting behind me had been kicking my chair non-stop. I was about ready to explode but Dimitri kept on looking at me with a warning glare. He seemed to be telling me not to do anything wrong with just his eyes.

But man, I couldn't hold in my angry any longer. Lucky me, I thought as the boys' father walked past up down the aisle to the lavatory.

"Here's your chance Rose." Christian whispered across Lissa to me with a Cheshire grin.

In a second I jumped up out of my seat and glared down at the little brat. He stopped kicking my chair when I he saw my pissed-off expression.

"I swear to God kid, if you kick my chair one more time. One more time." I whispered loudly over my chair, extenuating each word. "I will not hesitate to smash open your window and throw you out of this God forsaken plane. Not for a moment."

Then I turned about around and sat down in my seat. The lack of rhythmic kicking was relaxing and I sighed in relief. I saw Dimitri smirking at me from the corner of my eye.

"You know if you smashed the window everything would get sucked out the window, right?" Lissa told me. I gave her a 'look' and I hoped she realized I would throw her out the window too if she didn't shut up.

...

"Haha, that was pretty funny. Wasn't it Comrade?" He just shook his head, exasperated.

...

As the taxi pulled up to a familiar house in a small street, in the small town of Baia, Rose glanced over at Dimitri from the back seat. He was looking at the house in wonder and awe.

They paid the driver and hopped out with their bags.

"You ready Comrade?" Rose asked softly. His family didn't know about his restoration so it would be interesting to see their reactions at seeing him again.

"Yeah... I think I can do this. I love you." He whispered to her and Christian ran up and knocked on the door.

Rose pushed to the front and dropped her bags to the side. She was surprised when Yeva opened the door and glanced at them and didn't seem surprised at all. Of course, she probably saw all this happening in her 'visions' or whatever. Yeva's eyes lit up and she smiled widely when she saw Dimitri. He smiled at her too and pushed forward saying in Russian: "Grandma, I missed you."

She replied: "Oh you silly boy, what did you get yourself into? And this girl you love? She's crazy." Dimitri just laughed and the others stood curious as to what they were saying.

"Babushka who is at the door?" A familiar voice questioned from somewhere inside the house.

Dimitri pulled away from Yeva and looked towards the direction the voice came from as he realized it was his youngest sister Viktoria. When Viktoria walked towards the door and saw her brother she gasped loudly and muffled her cries with her hand.

"It's impossible. It can't be. Dimka?" She was crying by now and the two ran towards each other after a moment of silence. They hugged each other, holding on for dear life.

Yeva walked over to Rose while the other two looked on and put her arm over Rose's shoulders. "You brought him back to us. I knew you would. Thank you."

"Yeah, yeah, sure you knew. Whatever." Rose replied smiling. Yeva just laughed.

"What on earth is going on out here?" Olena's comforting voice floated into the room and when she saw them all she screamed.

OhmyGod how will Olena react? I'll update soon. Please review :)
