Don't own Legend of Korra or Anastasia. Enjoy!

~(Two months later)~

"So, when do you think General Iroh and Anastasia will wake up?" Korra asked Katara while in the northern water tribe.

"I do not know," the elder replied with a fond smile. "But Zuko has fire nation guards watching over them. I feel that they will be well cared for."

Korra sighed in boredom as they waited for news from the Fire Nation.

(In the Fire Nation)

"How much longer till big brother wakes up?" Ursa demanded, and her parents sighed in exasperation.

"Ursa, you must be patient," Kimi, her mother, scolded harshly. "You could learn a thing or two from your brother, you know!"

"It would help if I'd known him," Ursa retorted, "And that he weren't away all the time with the United Forces Army, or that he weren't fifteen years older than me, or that he weren't asleep for the past two months!"

"Ursa! You know that is completely out of your brother's control!" her father, Hiromasa scolded, and she rolled her eyes dramatically. "Don't roll your eyes at me, young lady!"

"I seem to recall someone else rolling their eyes at me," Mai said as she walked in, and Ursa grinned at her grandmother. "But all things considered, your father is right, Ursa."

"No fair," Ursa grumbled, right as Zuko walked in with a rare smile on his face.

"Uh-oh," Iroh's parents and Mai said in unison. "What happened?"

"Iroh and Anastasia are sleep-walking," he said as he sat down. "Do you know what that means?"

"I get to make fun of him for going to the bathroom in his sleep at age twenty-five?" Ursa said hopefully, and the adults simply rolled their eyes.

"No, child, it means that your brother and Anastasia are close to waking up within the next month," he said chuckling.

"Yeah! Finally!" the young princess whooped excitedly.

"Which could also mean that it will take all month," Zuko pointed out, and Ursa growled in frustration at it all.

"I blame you for her hyperactivity," Mai said, and Zuko shot her a glare just before she laughed. "I was joking. You know you don't have any kind of hyperactivity except your temper!"

"I reserve comment," Zuko said as he stood up and left the room.

"Well, this is going well," Tenzin said as he sent his robes out with airbending and sat down. "Some of the locals are complaining about a boy wearing an odd blue set of clothing and asking for Anastasia."

"Any reports as of yet?" Pema asked, and Tenzin shook his head. "Oh. Shame."

"Hey, guys!" Bolin yelled excitedly, "You wouldn't believe who I found!"

"Great," Tenzin huffed before turning to find Bolin leading the strangely dressed boy in curiously. "What is it now, Bolin?"

"He says he's an airbender!" Bolin yelled happily, "he says Avatar Aang sent him and his family here after sending one of his older sisters here separate!"

"Can he even talk?" Tenzin muttered sarcastically.

"Ooh! You're cute!" Jinora said jumping up and airbending to him. "I'm Jinora!"

"Enough," Tenzin scolded, and the young boy looked up at him warily.

"You're the son of Avatar Aang," he murmured. "Councilman Tenzin. Avatar Aang said that he could bring my family here all at once, but give our bodies a solid form only one by one."

"Do you have a name?" Jinora asked leaning forward, and the boy leaned back.

"A-Alexei. Alexei Romanov, son of Tsar Nicholas Romanov the second and Alexandra, younger brother of Olga, Tatiana, Maria, and Anastasia Romanov," he replied nervously. "You are an airbender as well?"

"You—you are Alexei Romanov?" Tenzin asked with interest, and Alexei nodded.

"Yes, sir. Avatar Aang told me to tell you to make sure that my sister learns what her element is. He told me to tell you that it was fire, and that she discovered this by nearly burning off the face of General Iroh the second," he said nervously, and Tenzin's eyes almost popped out of his skull.

"He really is Alexei," Tenzin murmured. "But then where are your other siblings? Your parents?"

"They are all in the monument of Avatar Aang in the bay," Alexei replied pointing at the large statue of Aang. "We are stuck there without want of any kind, only aging by what Anastasia is until the previous Avatars can gather enough energy to return one of us to a solid form. I was the one that she saw first, and I am the one that they worried about the most, so Avatar Aang thought it best that I be returned first."

"Can we let him stay, daddy? Please?" Jinora begged pulling on Tenzin's robes, and he looked down at her.

"I suppose he can stay until Avatar Korra, General Iroh, or Anastasia gets here to confirm his story," he said with a heavy sigh, and the young airbender was soon whooping for joy while Alexei was beaming.

"Thank you," Alexei said bowing slightly. "I know I am no longer royalty since that is not a possibility among the air nomads, but I wish to learn your ways and airbending if possible. I have been sheltered for so long that I haven't really had a chance to live my life until now."

"Why is that?" Pema asked worriedly.

"My blood problem that Avatar Aang cured," he replied dutifully. "My blood wouldn't close up a wound like it was supposed to. Even a tiny cut could have killed me, so my mamma and papa and older sisters were always protective of me."

"What happened at the castle ten years ago?" Tenzin asked the young boy, and the prince shuddered.

"Rasputin," he rasped as he opened his eyes in terror. "Rasputin attacked us, and let our enemies in for them to set our home on fire and to take my family and me captive. Only Anastasia escaped with grandmamma, and it was because they followed a servant boy. For years all we heard was that she had somehow survived, but I didn't believe it until I saw her with my own eyes at the base of the monument in the bay."

"That's Alexei," Tenzin said sitting down in shock. "You are Alexei. Only a true Romanov could have known the answer to that question."

"Yes, but now you'll have to ask the others something different," Pema pointed out.

"Each one will have a different question that only they and Anastasia know the answer to," Tenzin shot back. "I chose this question for Alexei because he was young, and because the night would have been etched into his mind forever because of fear."

Yay! Alexei becomes solid! He's so cute, I couldn't resist!
