Chapter eighteen: Day Seven (the reunion)

I woke up by Lissa slamming a my pillow on my head.

"Get up Rose, come on we have to get ready for the reunion!"

"Neu don'ts it'sunday. Reun s tninght" I mumbled

"What did she say?" Someone else voice said.

"I think she said it's Sunday and that the reunion is tonight." Lissa kindly translated and I turned around in my sheets again. I should of rolled against Dimitri, but I didn't.

"Where's Dimitri?" I asked as I suddenly sat upright.

"With Christian. The reunion starts in five hours Rose, you need out of your bed and into that shower." Lissa said.

"Five hours? I don't need five hours! Half an hour at most! Just let me sleep." I laid back dawn and pulled my blanket around me.

"Oh no! You are going to look amazing. Get out!" She pulled my blanket of my body, I wanted to reach for it, but my sleepy reflexes weren't that good.

"I always look amazing Liss." still in my bed, without blankets.

"You do, as a matter of facts couldn't you put some pajama's on in bed Rose."

"Hey! You are the one who pulled of my sheets, be glad Dimiti's mother is staying here and that I'm wearing anything at all." I got off the bed only wearing my underwear. Let's say Dimitri had a hard time last night keeping his promise of not having sex, if his mother was just on the other side of the wall.

"Victoria, Karoline, fancy seeing you here."

"Rose I don't want to hear about your sex life with my baby brother." Karoline said, she had a little smile.

"Then don't ask. I'm going to shower."

All the girls got ready together. Might be a good thing to because now, my hair was even shinier and curled at all the right pleases and my dress fitted perfect to hide my stake. I was wearing the pinkish one and I was still mad at myself for letting them convince me to put it on.

I never wear pink, it's just so girly. I always think people are going take me less serious if I dress girly. Let's be serious. Would you be scared if a little girl in a fluffy pink birthday cake dress would be threatening you? Not that I was wearing that, I was giving an example. Well? I wouldn't. So I always dressed sexy, not cute. Pink was cute, no matter what snit it was in. But when I turned to the mirror the dress was still sexy on me. Not lethal, but just slightly sexy. That would make today the exception that made my rulebook, thanks to Lissa's diplomatic and compromising convincing skills.

Talking about Liss, she seemed to get along great with Sonya while they were doing Karoline's hair and makeup. Victoria and Jill were helping each other out and Olena was getting Zoya in bright pink fluffy dress, it was adorable. Sonya's daughter was sleeping in her stroller and I was trying to get my second stake on to my leg. I always had a minimum of two stakes with me. One for each hand.

By the time we had to be ready the boys stood outside the doors, waiting for us and talking with the guards. Though I was pretty sure Dimitri was having fun interrogating Victoria's date; Nikolai. And if Abe was with them, Nikolai better make a run for it.

We got out the door and the first thing Christian just had to say was:

"I never toughed I would see the day the Rose Hathaway would be wearing pink."

"That's it. I'm putting on the blue on. I don't care if my but is going to freeze of."

"Oh no you are not! You promised that for one evening you would wear pink. Besides I'm letting you wear stakes. That dress is staying on." Lissa stood whit her arms crossed and all the Belikova woman behind her. I was overruled. Sighed and gave in.

Dimitri whispered something that sounded like crazy and creative and something else all mixed together in to my ear.

"What?"

"красивый. It means Beautiful."

"Kratsive" I tried

"No start with graceful, but leave the full and turn the c into a Z. Almost like the Italian thank u."

"Grazi"

"Something like that, now add -vye"

"Grazivye"

"Don't fully pronouns the last part and you get it."

"Euh just let's get going already."

Our party got downstairs and while we weren't in charge of Lissa and Christians we were be staying with them for the first part. That is until suddenly I heard Dimitri's name being called out. We turned around and Dimitri got a huge smile on his face.

"Matvie!..." And both hugged each other in one of those just toughing, slap on the shoulder, manly hugs. Damn Dimitri looked so sexy when he was happy and exited. Cut it of Rose! You're the one who instated the no sex claim. They were talking in rapid in Russian. So this was Matvie, Dimitri's other friend besides Ivan. This could get interesting.

"Let me introduce you: As you know Queen Vasilissa and Lord Ozera. This is princess Jillian, her guardian Eddison Castile and this is-"

"Rose, nice to meet you." He returned all out hello's and made a quick bow for the queen. "So? You got any dirt on little Dimka over here?" I asked him.

"Oh yes I do, there was this one time."

"Hathaway!" A female voice interrupted us. A voice I recognized.

"Mia? What are you doing here?"

"Well I would say long story, but actually it's not. Let me first say hello to the rest of the crew." As she did. When she came back standing next to me, she whispered in my ear.

"Who the cute one."

"That would be my boyfriend; guardian Dimitri Belikov." I knew she didn't mean him, I saw her look a little too long at my temporary replacement.

"Rose, not that one. No offence Belikov, you're cute and all." The funny thing is, Dimitri wasn't really listening when his name was called he looked kind of taken back at the 'you're cute and all'. He shrugged it off and continued talking. "I mean the one standing behind Lissa!"

"Guardian Jackson Reza. He's a good one."

"Good guardian or good in something else to?"

"How am I supposed to know?"

"I don't know? So can you introduce me? Please?"

"I can, after you explain how you got here."

"I do that right after this. Rose? I've never toughed I would see you in pink. I think I have to thank Lissa for that later."

"Yeah, well enjoy while you can. Now explain."

"Oh yes, well my parents where in court, so I got permission to go see them, but they were all to busy kissing royal asses. So I went to a café where I met this Moroi, I didn't really like him, but his company wasn't that bad. He asked me if I wanted to join him to his reunion. Seeing how you bunch probably would be here and I hadn't really anything else to do. I toughed well heck why not? My parents liked it even more seeing as how they now can say to everyone that 'their daughter is friends with the queen" She said in a squeaky voice." My parents really are a bunch of social ladder climbing back stabbing bitches."

"I remember a time you where like that."

"I do to, and I'm sorry for that."

"You're forgiven."

"Oh, thank you, no back to the hot stuff. Introduce me!"

"You're free the next three days and you have some light clothing with you?"

"I think so, why?"

"Then I know the perfect way to introduce you. Lissa?"

"Yes Rose?"

"How do you feel about Mia hanging with us till the end of New- Well you know the end of our next stop." I almost let it slip where we were going. Hans would have my ass.

"Of course, that would be so much fun."

"Where are we going?"

"You'll know when we are on the plane."

"Why"

"Because of the attacks on the queen, we have to keep changing our schedule and not do the obvious ones first. Like now, it would logical to do Romania next, So we are going to a opposite direction. Sort of"

"Oh I get it. So some where warm?"

"Yes."

"I'm defiantly coming. How are you going to introduce me?"

"We'll all be in a plane for a large amount of hours where he doesn't have to be on guard. I'm sure you can work something out."

We talked a bit about old time and general stuff. When suddenly a girl squalled and jumped in Dimitri's arms. Well hello to you to bitch.

So, where do think they will going?

What will happen with dimka's ex?

Who is Zmey there for?

What about Mia and Jackson?

And what the hell is in Dimitri's file?

So many questions!

Answer them and I will let you know if you are right!

Also I'm writing a very short crossover between Fast & Furious 7 and VA. It's almost done, I love that movie series. I will be updating that one very soon so keep a look on my story's!

Lots of Love
