Russian countryside

Near a road to Sant Petersburg ,there was an orphanage for homeless orphans . You could hear children cry,but there was no laughing because of the owner . Her name was Jane Murdstone and was sister of Edward Murdstone,who moved in Russia 20 years ago . She was strict and mean woman ,who liked money,but not children. In the orphanage there lived a girl ,who had no memory of her past. Everyone called her Ana and the only thing that she had, was a locket around her neck with words Together in Paris . Ana had been found 10 years ago and someone took her to the orphanage . She grew up and now the owner Miss Murdstone took her out of orphanage as she said: ,, I got you a job in the fish factory . You go down this path till you get to the fork in the road. Go left...,,

Ana said as she waived to other orphans : ,, Bye. ,,

Miss Murdstone said as she looked at Ana : ,, Are you listening? ,,

Ana said as she waived again : ,, Bey, everybody! ,,

She said as she looked at the keeper : ,, I`m listening ,Comrade Murdstone . ,,

Murdstone wasn`t happy as she said and grabbed Ana`s scarf : ,, You`ve been a thorn in my side since you were brought here . ,,

She pulled the scarf as Ana tried to get it off and said: ,, Acting like a queen of Sheba instead of nameless no-account you are . For the last ten years, I`ve fed you , I`ve clothed you , I`ve... ,, Ana knew it already and said as keeper went to open the door: ,, Kept a roof over my head. ,, Miss Murdstone unlocked the door and opened it. She said as she came to Ana: ,, How is it you dont have a clue who you were before you came to us, but you can remember all that? ,,

Ana told miss Murdstone that she had a clue and owner looked at the locket . She said with sweet voice: ,, So you want to go to France to find your family ? ,,

Ana nodded in replay and orphanage keeper said as she pushed Ana though the door : ,, Little Miss Ana, it is time to take your place in life . In life and in line . And be grateful too. ,,

She threw the scarf to Ana and said as she closed the door : ,, Together in Paris. ,,

Miss Murdstone looked at Ana,who wore a packed light brown dress, grey bodice , long white sleeves ,a brown shawl to keep her warm and brown shoes . She laughted ,before she coughted and went back. Woman said to herself as Ana took the scarf and went her way : ,, Be grateful . ,, After a few minutes of walking in the snow ,Ana mimicked miss Murdstone: ,, Be grateful Ana. ,, She said as she looked back: ,, I am grateful. Grateful to go away! ,,

Ana looked at the signs and said : ,, Go left she says. I know what`s to the left. I will be " Ana the orphan " for ever. But if I go right,maybe I could find ….Who ever gave me this pendant must have loved me . ,,

She sat on the snow ,while she was hopping to get a sing. Then a gray puppy came out of the snow . He barked as he grabbed one part of Anas scarf that was on her lap . Ana said as she looked at cute puppy,who was standing in front of her and laughed a little : ,, Hey. I dont have time to play with you. Im waiting for the sign. ,,

She fell as she tried to get her scarf back . After she stood up,she said as she grabbed the scarf: ,, Would you give me that, could you, would you please leave me alone. Stop, give me that back, gi… gi… Oh!,,

Puppy made her turn and spin,before she let go of scarf and landed in snow. Puppy stopped playing and looked at Ana,who said as she sat up: ,, Oh,great. A dog wants me to go to Sant Petersburg. ,,

Suddenly she noticed,that maybe puppy was the sign . Ana stood up and said as she picked the end of her scarf:,, Okay. I can take a hint . ,,

The wind blew magically as Ana looked down the road .She sang as she followed puppy:

Heart don't fail me now

Courage don't desert me

Don't turn back

now that we're here

Girl stopped and sang as she looked away and then back:

People always say

Life is full of choices

No one ever mentions

fear

After a few minutes of walking Ana stopped and made a snowball. She sang as she threw it in the air and puppy caught it:

Or how the world

can seems so vast

On this journey to the past

Girl and her puppy jumped out of the way as sledge passed them and covered them in snow. Ana sang as she dusted her dress and hugged herself:

Somewhere down this road

I know someone's waiting

Years of dreams just can't be wrong

Arms will open wide

I'll be safe and wanted

Finally home where I belong

She picked puppy and held it in her arms,then she put it down. Then girl moved on and gestured the puppy to follow her as she sang:

Well starting now

im learning fast On this journey

to the past

they came to small , snow covered cottage. It was simple ,then the door opened . Two bunnies ,a boy with his winter clothes and a girl in a dress and scarf ran to the girl. The boy rabbit was grey with beautiful eyes and girl was light blond with blue eyes . Their parents were rabbits and dressed as farmers ,who smiled as they watched children chase after puppy. Ana smiled and tried not to get dizzy as she watched them play. After the game,Ana moved on and sang as she waved to happy rabbit family:

Home, love, family

There was once a time

I must've had them too

They waved back,before they returned home. Girl felt like that there was a part of her missing. A part,that had been lost in her forgotten past . Ana looked at puppy,that she named Pooka .He was playing with two squirrels ,then he was picked up by Ana as she sang:

Home, love, family

I will never be complete

until I find you

Girl twirled in a circle, then tucked puppy under one arm and strode forward. She sang as she came to fallen log and put Pooka down:

One step at a time

One hope

then another

Who knows

where this road may go

Girl climbed on it and walked to the other end as she sang:

Back to who I was

Onto find my future

Things my heart

still needs to know

Ana was excited and she kicked the snow,then twirl as she sang:

Yes

let this be a sign

Let this road be mine

Let it lead me to my past

And bring me home

At Last

Girl looked at the city that came in view. It was Sant Petersburg and Ana was happy. Pooka joined her as she went to the train station to buy ticket for Paris. As she came there,girl had to wait in long line ,before it was her turn. She said as she looked at ticket seller: ,, One ticket for Paris,please. ,,

The clerk demanded in annoying voice: ,, Exit visa!,,

Ana was surprised: ,, Exit visa? ,,

The clerk sneered at her: ,, No exit visa, no ticket!,, He slammed the shutters shut, causing Ana and the old woman behind her to jump. Girl wasn't happy, then an old woman whispered: ,, Psst . See Suzako . He can help.,,

Ana whispered back as she looked at old lady: ,,Where can I find him?,,

The old lady whispered again: ,,At the old palace. But you didn't hear it from me!,,

Ana nodded and thought about so called Suzako as old woman waved her hand in gesture of going away.

Meanwhile in small, worn-down theater Suzako and Lelouch sat at a desk covered in papers as they were watching the stage. Suzako said as he heard young woman huff: ,, Nice, nice, very nice,... Uh, thank you.,,

He wrote something on paper and said : ,, Uh, next please! ,,

As young lady stormed off the stage ,a thin, blonde woman wrapped in a huge fur coat stepped onto the stage. After dropping her coat, taking a cigarette in a long holder in one hand, she said in a husky voice: ,, Grandma, it's me, Briana .,,

She shook her hips after she put the other hand on them. Lelouch face palmed and Suzako mumbled: ,,Oh, brother. ,,

No one of the actress was looking or acting like Briana . After the auditions, Suzako and Lelouch left the theater. Lelouch crumpled papers and tossed them away as he said: ,,That's it, Suzako. Game over. Our last kopeck gone for that flea-infested theater, and still no girl to pretend to be Briana .,,

Suzako said as they went down the alley: ,, We'll find her, Lelouch. She's here somewhere, right under our noses. ,,

He pulled out the music box and tossed it in the air as he said: ,, Don't forget. One look at this jewelry box, and the Empress will think we've brought the real Briana.,,

As they walked and talked, Ana was questioning a man on the street: ,, I'm looking for the -. ,,

She said as Suzako accidentally bumped into her and continued with the conversation : ,, Excuse me .,,

girl looked at the man again as she asked : ,, Do you know where that is? ,,

The man shook his head and waved her off: ,, No, no. There's no one living there, go on. ,,

Ana turned away with Pooka still in her arms and went to find the the old palace .
