"Something like trying to convince your mother to let you come to Russia with me...."

Well crap. This is so not what I had in mind when he asked me to meet up with him. What I had in mind involved a lot less cloths, and most definitely did not involve my mother. Which was why I was so disappointed to find myself walking across campus, completely clothed, on my way to see my mother. At least Dimitri was with me, or else I would probably be running in the opposite direction.

By the time we finally made it to my moms room it was almost curfew. "Oh it's getting pretty late Comrade, maybe this should wait for another time...." I pleaded with him.

"Come on Roza, it will only get worse the longer we wait" He tells me confidently. I growl at him and walk into the guardian's building, where my mother most likely was. Just like I guessed, she was there. Of course she was there, she was a dedicated woman. Luckily she was the only one there. "Guardian Hathaway" Dimitri greeted her. She glared at him for a moment before looking at me and smiling slightly.

"Belikov. Rose. Is everything okay" She asked me. I hope it will be I think to myself.

"Yeah mom, everything is fine, I just needed to ask you something." She gives me a skeptical look when she hears this.

"What is it Rose?"

"Well you know, spring break is coming, and...." I trail off, not knowing the best way to ask her without her wanting to kill the love of my life.

"I asked her to come to Russia with me. To meet my family." Dimitri tells her, earning another glare from her. It was about then that I noticed Lissa was close, she was headed to see us, but I couldn't see why. She slipped quietly into the room and stood in the shadows and waited. My mom and Dimitri must have really been preoccupied because they didn't notice her.

"Absolutely not! Do you have any idea how that will look to everyone? There is no way we can make you two running off to Russia together look anywhere near acceptable. What will you tell people?" she asks me, completely ignoring Dimitri.

"Mom, we are getting married, I need to meet his family sometime!" I tell her, exasperated.

"Yes I am aware of that Rosemarie, but that still doesn't tell me how you are going to explain your trip to everyone else." She snapped back at me. It was then that Lissa made herself known.

"She can tell people she is coming with me. That would explain both of their absences." Lissa says, making the other two jump slightly.

"Princess, what are you doing here?" Dimitri asks, with a slight bow.

"I feel awful, you and Rose always have to put your feelings and your relationship second to me. I just want to help you for once." She tells us with a smile. I smile back, she really was an amazing friend.

"No disrespect intended Princess, but that won't work" My mom tells her calmly.

"Why not?" Lissa asks, confused.

"Because you will still be here" My mom tells her. How had I not seen that one coming? Lissa didn't seem to phased though, she just smiles at my mom.

"Well Christian and I can go visit Tasha for Spring Break" She tells us. I frown, not just because I don't care for Tasha, but because that won't work either.

"No Liss, that won't work." She gives me a questioning look. "You can't go to Tasha's without any Guardian's. They would never let you and Christian be unprotected, and neither would we." I inform her. I try to smile at her, but I can tell she doesn't buy it. She see's the sadness in my eyes, and knows how much not being able to go with Dimitri upsets me. Then the most glorious thing comes out of Dimitri's mouth.

"Why doesn't she come with us?" He asks. I turn to look at him, the thought never even crossing my mind.

"Really?" I ask him.

"Really. She is pretty much your family, which makes her my family. My mom would love to meet her." I look at Liss, she is smiling, I know she wants to come, but she is going to miss Christian for the two weeks. Dimitri must have seen it too because he continues "And Christian too, if he wishes, he will be my charge after you all graduate" We all turn to look at my mother, who is looking a bit lost.

"I guess I don't see any reason why this shouldn't work" She grudgingly admits. I smile and hug her.

"Thanks mom, you're the best" I whisper in her ear before pulling away.

"When do we leave?" Lissa asks, now excited at the prospect of two whole weeks with Christian and I in Russia.

"Monday" Dimitri tells her happily. He was just as excited as she is, even if he doesn't show it.

"Only two days to pack?" She asks, sense it was already Friday night. Dimitri chuckled.

"Yes, sorry it's such short notice Princess. We just found out that break had been changed." He tells her apologetically. "Please let me know if Mr. Ozera will be joining us when you find out, so I can purchase plane tickets. We will have to fly on a normal plane, seeing as they are going to be using the academy planes for traveling students, and their families." She nods at him and promises to let us know as soon as she talks to Christian, before excusing herself to go find him.

"Well, it's just about curfew, I should probably get back to my dorm" I tell my mom. She smiles and nods at me, and I think she even gives Dimitri a small smile before we turn and walk out the door. "Well that went better than I expected" I tell Dimitri once we are alone. He chuckles and gives me a sidelong glance.

"What did you expect her to beat me up again?" He asks.

"Well, yeah kind of" I tell him honestly. I would not have put it past her to throw a punch. He laughs again.

"Roza Roza Roza, what am I going to do with you?" He asks my, the humor still in his voice.

"Would you like to hear what I would like you to do to me?" I ask him innocently. He groans.

"Roza, are you trying to kill me sense your mother didn't?" He asks me playfully.

"Oh what I am trying to do to you is so much better than anything my mother could do to you" I give him a smile. "Unless you're into older women..." I trail off, thinking of Tasha, she's an older woman. He shakes his head at me.

"The only woman I am interested in, is standing right next to me Roza." I couldn't help the laugh that escaped me, because unnoticed by him, Alberta had come up to speak to him, and was standing on his other side while he looked at me. He gave me a confused look before I motioned at her. He looked over and for I think the first time ever, I saw him blush.

"Well, I gotta get back to my dorm, see you later Comrade, Guardian Petrov." I laughed the entire rest of the way back to my dorm at the look of utter embarrassment on Dimitri's face.

"Well, I gotta get back to my dorm, see you later Comrade, Guardian Petrov" Rose said before she ran back to her dorm, body shaking with laughter the entire way. I turned towards Alberta, cheeks still flaming. I thanked the heavens it was her, and not someone else. She had dropped subtle hints that she knew what was going on between Rose and I. Not that she had ever come right out and said she knew, but I knew she knew, and she knew I knew it.(Confusing much?)

"Belikov" She greeted me, amusement clear on her face. "I never knew you felt that way" She got out before busting out into laughter, causing my cheeks to heat farther. "I'm sorry, I couldn't help it. Anyway, the real reason I came to speak to you is to ask you about your plans for your vacation." She wanted to know what I was doing. Well what a time to decide to ask. So I told her about my plan to visit my family in Russia, leaving out the part about everyone who was coming along. She must have realized I had left something out because she asks "And are you visiting Russia alone?" I guess there is no way to avoid it anymore. I know we were supposed to tell people we were both accompanying the princess and Ozera somewhere, but I couldn't lie to Alberta.

"I have asked Rose to come with me" I tell her, eyes glued to the ground. She is quiet for a few moments before speaking again.

"Listen closely Belikov, because I will not repeat this, and I will deny ever having said it. Enjoy what you have found. Love is rare for a Guardian, and I can see what you two have is a deep connection. Don't ruin it, it will be hard, love for us always is, but it is worth it. She has been through a lot, and if anyone can help her, it's you. I know you are good for each other. I can see the difference in you sense you have known her. Finding someone who can affect you so strongly, make you challenge everything you thought you knew about the world, is something some people only dream about. Having someone to love, who loves you back is truly a gift, one not everyone receives. There are people, Moroi, Dhampir and Humans alike who wait their whole lives for something like what you and Rose share, so don't ever second guess it. Don't let the world we live in tear you apart, because God knows they will try. And more than anything cherish the gift you have been given in each other" My jaw very well may have been on the ground. Did Alberta really just say all that? Who would have thought she had it in her. "So is it just you two?" She asks, as if she didn't just give me the most touching speech I had ever heard.

"well..." I tell her the rest of the plan, how we are using Lissa as the reason we are leaving. When I am done Alberta just nods at me.

"Well if you are taking two royal Moroi, we will have to send another Guardian, I will see who is available." I nod at her "and who can be trusted" She adds as and after thought. That would be the hard part, finding someone to come along who could be trusted to know about Rose and I. Alberta soon excuses herself to get to her guard duty. I have tonight off, sense they didn't know when we would be returning from Court. I walk towards the Dhampir dorms, it is just after curfew so I know Rose will be in her dorm. I decide to have a little fun, so I go to where I know her window is and climb up the side of the building. A little harder than I thought it would be, but I made it up the three stories to her window. I look in, and the room is empty. I open her window and climb in, hoping no one saw me. I look out and scan the grounds, and find a very amused looking Alberta shaking her head at me. I smile at her before shutting the window and pulling the curtains closed.

I decide it is my turn to sneak up on her, so I wait in the dark corner for her to return. It is about fifteen minutes before I hear someone coming down the hall. Rose opens the door, hair wet, wrapped in a towel, clearly not paying attention to anything in her room. She has just turned the light on when I tackle her right onto her bed. She lets out a small scream before my hand is across her mouth. When she notices its me she relaxes. I remove my hand and she smiles at me. "Miss me that much already Comrade?" She asks. I smile at her charmingly.

"You have no idea Roza."

"How's Alberta?" She asks innocently, and I growl at her.

"Amused" I growl at her playfully.

"I just thought you might like some alone time" She informs me, amusement all over her face.

"Only person I want alone time with is you Roza" I tell her seductively. I can see the effect I have on her, she smiles and wraps her arms around me,

"Well then, lets get to that alone time shall we?" I smile at her. I definitely love this girl.

"I don't know Roza," I give her a tired look "Guardian Petrov really wore me out" I yawn for good effect. She frowns at me, before swatting my arm. She wiggles, trying to escape my grip. "And where do you think you're going?"

"If you don't want to spend time with me, I will find someone who does" She tells me emphasizing her words by sticking her tongue out at me. I smile at her.

"Oh Roza, you know I could never want anyone like I want you." She smiles at me again.

"Right back at ya, Comrade." She smiles, and I melt. "What did she want anyway?" she asks. I look at her confused for a minute. "Guardian Petrov, I assume she wanted something from you?"

"Oh, well actually, I was a bit shocked at our conversation..." I tell her everything Alberta told me.

"You mean she knows about us?" She asks incredulously. "And she is okay with this?" She waves a hand between herself and me.

"Well if she came in right now, she might have something to say about it," I tell her, seeing as I was still on top of her, and she was only wearing a towel. "but for all intents and purposes, yes she is okay with us" I tell her. She seems to like the idea because she wraps her arms around me again and pulls me down to her,

"Do you have to guard today?" She asks me.

"No, I'm off for the night"

"Good. Because it is going to be a long night for you Guardian Belikov" She informs me.

"Great, those are my favorite kind!" I tell her before crushing my lips back to hers.

Soo. The questions have been answered, ROSE IS GOING TO RUSSIA! lol so is Lissa, and possibly Christian.
I know most school's spring breaks are only a week long, but i just couldn't fit everything i wanted them to do into a week, because flying to Russia will take at least a day, so will flying home. So theres two days already, so i had to make it two weeks.
Call it wishful thinking because i sure doI wish spring break was two weeks!
Anyway, Next chapter should be up soon!! :) Thanks for reading, you make me smile!! :)
