Sam: Now we can all relax! Oh and Tatiana? Tatiana: Yes? Sam: Don't think about the medical center! Take your mind completely off it! Tatiana: I can only say I'll try! Olga: Oh don't worry... I'm sure we can find lots of things to do so she can keep her mind off it! Maria: I say a nice trip to the beach would be a nice start! Tatiana: Sounds good to me! (to Sam) What about you? Sam: I like that idea too! Let's walk shall we? Olga: We shall! (Sam laughs) What's so funny? Sam: Nothing... it's just... i think Alexander's going to be a bit jealous! Olga: What do you mean? Sam: Remember that one time he asked about the beach? Olga (laughs): Oh yes... i do remember! I think we forgot something though! Tatiana: What? Olga: Blankets... unless you want to sit in the actual sand! Sam (as they're soon on the beach): No need to worry about that! Maria: She does it again! Olga: You're good! Sam: I know... and i wouldn't have it any other way either!
Anichkov Palace... Alexander: Papa? Dmitri C-B: Yes? Alexander: Where's Mama? Dmitri C-B: She went on a little vacation with her sisters and Sam! Alexander: Oh! Is Aunt Tatiana going to be okay? Dmitri C-B: Yes... Aunt Tatiana is going to be just fine! That's actually why they're on that vacation! Alexander: Oh I see! Dmitri C-B: Go play! Alexander: Yes Papa! Dmitri M (walks in): Hey... i just got a call from Tatiana! Dmitri C-B: How is she? Dmitri M: She's doing much better! They're having fun on the beach right now! She called to let us know they had settled in nicely there! Dmitri C-B: Good to hear!
Livadia Beach... Tatiana (as Olga and Sam are on the shore): You sure you two don't want to join us? Sam: No I'm good! Tatiana: Olga? (Olga's reading) OLGA! Olga (looks up): What? Maria: She asked if you wanted to join us Library Girl! Olga: No I'm fine right where I am! Anastasia: Figures! (Sam gets up and goes by the water) Hey Sam? Sam: What? (Anastasia splashes water at her) Oh is that the game you want to play imp? (splashes back) Fine... two can play that game! Anastasia (splashes her again): Yeah well I got you again! Sam (splashes back): So did i! Maria (gets Sam from the other side): What? Can't let you two have all the fun can i? Tatiana (splashes Maria): No i suppose not! Sam (laughs): Hey Governess? Tatiana (looks up at her): What? Sam (splashes water at her): That's what! Olga (calls out): It's getting late... we should start heading in! Tatiana: She's right... come on you two! Maria: There's always tomorrow! Sam: Yeah and the day after, the day after that, and the day after that... Maria (splashes her): We got it already! Sam (splashes back): Good... I hope so!
At lunch... Maria (after lunch): While I'm off to see how the children are? (everyone looks at her) What? Olga: The children aren't here remember? Maria: Oh right... i guess i forgot! Sam: Well... what happens now? Olga: I'm going to go back and sit on the beach! Tatiana: I'm going to call Mama! Maria: I'm going to... do something! Anastasia: I don't know what I'm going to do! Sam: I'm going to take a nap! So it's settled? (everyone nods) Good!
On the phone... Tatiana: Mama? Alexandra: Hello Tatiana! How are you feeling dear? Tatiana: Much better! I guess i have to admit it... I did need to get away for a little while! Alexandra: I'm glad you are feeling better Tatiana! Two more weeks and you'll all be home again! Tatiana: Mama? Alexandra: Yes Tatiana? Tatiana: How is everyone there? Alexandra: Splendid dear... we all miss you here! Tatiana: We all miss you too Mama! Alexandra: I'm going to have one of my naps! Tatiana: Are you alright Mama? Alexandra: Perfectly fine dear... I'm just tired! Tatiana: Very well Mama! (conversation ends with her smiling) That was nice! (goes out to the beach) Olga! (Olga's reading... AGAIN) OLGA! Olga: What... are you talking to me Tanya? Tatiana: No I was talking to the ocean... yes you silly! Having fun with your book? Olga: A marvelous time! Tatiana: Well I'm going to go in and continue with my knitting... in fact I'll get it and come back out here how does that sound? Olga (not paying attention): Mmm-hmmm! Tatiana (starts heading back to get her knitting): I take that as a yes then!
TBC... Olga and her books, Olga and her books! Everyone is having a splendid time... and yay everyone's in good health![/color]
Later, Olga and Tatiana are still on the beach, when Anastasia comes up behind them...
Anastasia: BOO! Olga and Tatiana: Yahhhhhhhh!! Anastasia: Laughing. Oh, I got you both. Do you see the looks on your faces! Olga: Are you thinking what I'm thinking Tanya? Tatiana: Yeah, let's get the Imp! Anastasia: Uh gotta go now. Runs away with the BP in hot pursuit
Meanwhile, Maria is on the phone to her Ivan...
Maria: Just calling to say that I miss you. Ivan S: I miss you two, Angel. I hope you're all having fun down there. Maria: We are, but I miss the children. It's so quiet without them. Ivan S: Really? It's pretty noisy here. When will you be back? Maria: In about two weeks. Ivan S: Good, the new corridor to our new building should be finished by then. Everyone is pitching in, even your father. Maria: Yeah, Papa always liked doing work. I hope he's not overstressing himself though. Ivan S: No, he isn't. In fact, he's rather enjoying himself. Maria: That's good to know. Anyway, I'm off to track down my sisters. I love you. Ivan S: I love you too.
Soon Maria finds the BP standing at the foot of a big tree.
Maria: What's going on? Tatiana: Look up. Points up and Maria sees Anastasia on one of the branches. Olga: She played a prank on us, so we chased her up a tree. Tatiana: What goes up, must come down...

Anastasia: I'm not coming down... not until it's safe! Olga: Well that may be a while! Tatiana: Yeah it's not like we have anything better to do! Anastasia: You could help me here Mashka! Maria: What am I going to do? Anastasia: Anything... I don't care! Olga: It's not like there's anything Mashka can do to save you imp! Tatiana: You're stuck with us! Maria: Maybe not! Tatiana: What? Maria: Sorry Imp can't help you! Olga (Maria runs off): Where is she going? (shrugs her shoulders and looks back up) You're going to have to come down sooner or later you know that right? Tatiana: You can't stay up there forever! Anastasia: Really? Watch me? Tatiana: We would... but we're going to rest for a while! That don't mean you're off the hook imp! Olga (just as she and Tatiana turn to walk they fall) What the...!? Maria (a few feet away): Now Nastya... NOW! Anastasia (gets down and scurries to Maria): What did you do to them? Maria: Look at their feet! Anastasia (gasps as she sees the rope is tied around both sets of the BP's feet): You tied them together!? Where did you get the rope? Maria: Oh I found some in one of the rooms! Olga: When we get up you are in so much trouble! Anastasia: Oh I have a better idea! Maria: What? Anastasia: Go get some more rope! (Olga tries to grab at her) Nice try! Tatiana: You two are so going to get it! Maria (returns): Here's some more! (Anastasia points to them) What? Anastasia: Help them up! Tatiana: Yeah come closer to us we dare you! Anastasia: From behind Mashka... help them up from behind! (Maria does so) Against the tree! (the BP are tied to the tree she was recently up side by side) There we go! Olga: What are you doing!? Tatiana: Nastya... you're crazy! Anastasia (her and Maria quickly back away as the BP try to get at them): Can't get me now... (Maria clears her throat) I mean us can you now? Tatiana: Anastasia! Untie us immediately! Olga: Just you wait when we return the favor! (Anastasia pulls Maria away) Where do you think you two are going!? Anastasia: I'm going to call Ivan and see how Paul is! Don't worry we'll be back soon... well sooner or later that is! Olga: Don't you two dare leave us here! Tatiana: You two get back here! Anastasia (laughing in distance): Can't get back at us now can you Governess?
TBC... Tim, They're unfortunately going to be there...! In my next entry it will be nightfall when Sam is going to go find them after they don't return to the palace and untie them!
Back inside, Anastasia is on the phone to Anichkov Palace...
Anastasia: So, how's Paul? Ivan K: On phone. He's fine. However, he misses you. I miss you too. Anastasia: Same here. However, we're having fun down here. Ivan K: Dimitri asked if he could speak to Tatiana? Anastasia: Uh, yeah, Tatiana is tied up with something right now. However, I'll give her the message to call him back. Ivan K: Okay, I love you. Anastasia: I love you too. Hangs up. Well, Mashka, I'm starving. Let's go to the kitchen to get something to eat.
Soon the two of them are in the kitchen, eating...
Maria: You know, Nastya, that sooner or later, we're going to have to untie the Big Pair. Anastasia: I know. Maria: And you also know that we're both in the doghouse for this. Anastasia: I know. I was thinking that perhaps a move is in order. Maria: To another country!? Anastasia: No, I was thinking another planet. Mars is looking nice right about now. Surely we'll be safe from the BP there!
Speaking of the BP... Tatiana: When I get my hands on both our little sisters... they are in so much trouble! Olga: I will second that but first we have to get free Tatiana! Tatiana: True! You're wearing your watch right? Olga: Yeah I am! (struggles to see it) It's 3:30 pm! Tatiana: How long have we been tied up against this tree do you figure? Olga: Oh probably about an hour maybe two at the least! Tatiana: Oh I can't wait to return the favor when they aren't looking! Olga: You mean tie them up to a tree and walk away for two hours? Tatiana: Exactly... only since they know we're going to come after them we have take them by surprise! Olga: Oh I like the way you think Governess! Tatiana: Good I'm glad you do!
Later and it's almost nightfall the LP are in the kitchen again as Maria's having a craving... Sam (enters): Have you seen your older sisters since they didn't come into dinner? Anastasia (it's been a couple more hours so her and Maria have totally forgot): Maybe they lost track of time since the last i remember they were on the beach! Sam: Oh thanks... I'll head out to the beach then! Though you know it's not like them to be outside so late! Maria (hands her a flashlight): Maybe you should take a flashlight... it's getting dark out! Sam: Thanks... i was almost about to go outside without it! Maria (after Sam exits she finally remembers): Uh-oh! Anastasia: What's wrong? Maria: The BP on the beach? We totally forgot about them! Anastasia (remembers now too): Oh man... you're right we did!

At the tree... Tatiana: As I am falling asleep here... how long as it been now! Olga: It's (struggles to see her watch again) 8:00 and Tatiana look up! Tatiana (she looks at the stars): Oh they are so in trouble now! So that makes it about let's see... the last we checked it was two hours so... (calculates) about oh six maybe seven hours we've been stuck here! Olga: Exactly!
In the distance... Sam: Girls? Yo BP where are you two? Hello... is anyone paying attention to me here!? Olga (in distance): Is that Sam? Tatiana (in distance): I can only hope so! Sam: BP where are you!? (she's right there, she looks around making her back be turned towards the tree): Olga! Tatiana! (sighs) Where are you two!? Tatiana (clears her throat): We're... right... here! Olga: Yeah you can't miss us! Sam (turns around and sees them): Oh my... what happened!? Olga: Ask the LP! Sam: Oh no! Tatiana: Oh yes! Sam: How long have you two been tied up here? Tatiana: Oh about six or seven hours now if you count the two hours after it happened! Sam: Oh you've gotta be kidding! So this is why you two weren't at dinner? Olga: Yes! This is exactly why we missed out on dinner! Tatiana: Could you please untie us Sam? Sam: You bet I will! (goes and unties them) There we go! Olga/Tatiana (fall over): WHOA! Sam: What happened? Tatiana: Our feet... they're tied together still! Sam (sees it): Oh so they are! Here let me get that too! (kneels and unties the other rope) There we go! (extends a hand to both) Here let me help you two up! Tatiana: Thank you! Sam: Go get something to eat! Olga: Oh we will!
Kitchen... Maria: I can not believe we totally forgot about them! Anastasia: No kidding! (hears footsteps... two pairs of them) Uh-oh i think that's them! Tatiana (her and Olga enter): You two are in so much trouble! Olga (as her and Tatiana chase them around the table): We are so going to get you two back! Anastasia: By the way... Dmitri wanted to talk to you Tatiana! Tatiana: I missed his call because of you? (Anastasia nods) Oh when we get our hands on you! Anastasia: Yeah but you'll have to catch us first! Olga: Oh we plan to do just that! Tatiana (tired): Later... me and Olga need to get a LATE dinner because of you two! Olga: True! So just you wait you two... just you wait!
Two days later the LP are talking and guess who's sneaking up on them....
TBC... now it's the LP's turned to be tied up against that tree! Olga ties them around the tree while Tatiana ties their feet together! It's payback time! Don't worry they won't leave them out there... two hours at the least but they'll be more merciful luckily for the LP![/color]
Tatiana: Now we got you two! Olga: Yeah, payback time! The LP are tied against the same tree the BP were tied to. Anastasia: Okay, you've made your point, untie us. Tatiana: Forget it, Imp! You're staying there for at least two hours. Let's go, Tanya! The BP walk away.
Back in the kitchen...
Olga: How long should we leave them out there? Tatiana: At least two hours, maybe three. Part of me wants to leave them out there all night! Olga: Yeah, me too. But I suppose we have to be merciful. We are the responsible pair, after all. Tatiana: Yeah, I know..
Meanwhile...
Anastasia: It's no good, Mashka, they've tied us pretty tight. Maria: I know. And... Anastasia: and what? Maria: Nastya, I think..... I think I have to pee! Anastasia: HELP!!!
Maria: No, no! I'm okay! Anastasia: You sure? Maria: Perfectly sure! So i guess we're just going to have to pick a topic to discuss since we're stuck here! Anastasia: Well we could talk about last night! Maria: Yeah that was funny... well until we forgot! Anastasia: I suppose we got so busy with other things... it slipped our minds after a while! Maria: I suppose so!
Inside... Sam: Where are your sisters? Olga: Oh they outside! Tatiana: It's a nice day out! Sam: You two didn't do something to get back at them did you? Olga: No! Tatiana: Why would we? Sam: Uh-huh! Oh and Tatiana? Tatiana: Yes? Sam: Have you called your Dmitri yet? Tatiana: Oh dear I had totally forgotten! Thanks for the reminder! Sam: No problem!
On phone... Ivan S: Anichkov Palace! Tatiana: Oh hello Ivan! Ivan S: Hi back Tatiana! Do you want me to get Dmitri for you? Tatiana: Could you please? Ivan S: Of course! (yells) HEY DMITRI YOUR WIFE IS ON THE OTHER LINE! Tatiana: Uh... thanks... Ivan! Dmitri M (Ivan jokingly keeps pulling the phone away): Give me the phone... give me the... (finally gets it) Tatiana? Tatiana: I'm sorry I missed your call last night! Dmitri M: That's alright I heard from Ivan Kleschev that his wife said you were tied up with something! Tatiana: Tied up with something huh? Dmitri M: That's the message i got! Tatiana: Oh i see! Dmitri M: So how are you my little Fairy Princess? Tatiana (blushes and laughs): Oh my dear Dmitri! I'm good... better then last night i assure you! Dmitri: Better then? Are you alright... are you hurt!? Tatiana (laughs): Oh I'm alright! We got pranked by the LP which is actually why I missed your call! When Nastya said i was tied up... i was... literally! Those two tied me and Olga up against a tree on the beach yesterday afternoon! Then... they totally forgot about us and it took about six or seven hours later for Sam to find us! It was nighttime too! Dmitri M: Oh good grief! Tatiana: Don't worry... they're paying for it now! How are the children? Dmitri M: They're fine... they miss their Mama though! Oh and the corridor is almost finished! Tatiana: Oh that's lovely to hear! I'm guessing when we get back it will be all done correct? Dmitri M: Correct you are! Speaking of I have to return to work... or it won't be! Tatiana: I perfectly understand! (she hangs up and sees Olga) What Olga? Olga: We have to show mercy to the LP soon!
The BP go back to the beach and they and the LP have a little chat before they untie them....
TBC... Like i said the two pairs have a nice little chat and then they untie them letting them fall over and then Tatiana unties their feet! Payback is terrible isn't it?
Soon the BP head back to the tree...
Tatiana: Now, what should we do with you two? Olga: We could leave them here all night. Maria: Come on, you got us back. We're even. Anastasia: Yeah, I'm getting cramps. Tatiana: What do you think, Olga? Olga: Welllllll.... Maria: Come on, come on, come on. Olga: Alright let's free these two troublemakers. Tatiana: However, once we let you loose, no more pranks during this trip. Understand. Anastasia: Yes Dr. Governess. The BP untie the LP and watch as they fall to the ground. Tatiana: Oops! Forgot about your feet. Anastasia: Sarcastically. Sure you did. The BP until the LP's feet. Maria: Jumps to her feet. Out of my way! Gotta pee BAD! Heads for the palace as fast as he legs can carry her. Olga: Ah the joys of being pregnant.
Maria rushes into the palace, almost knocking Sam over...
Sam: Whoa Mashka! Maria: Can't talk... bathroom... now! Sam: Uh-huh! (the other three enter) So what have you two been up too... i mean LP by the way? Anastasia: Oh ask a certain two someones next to me! Sam (gasps): You two didn't!? Olga: Oh well... payback is terrible now isn't it? Tatiana: Don't worry we weren't going to keep them out past nighttime... (looks to Anastasia) we're more responsible then that! Maria (enters): That's better! You two got us back... happy now? Tatiana: Very! So that means you two won't pull something like this on us again now will you? Anastasia: Well we already agreed not to while we're on the rest of the vacation didn't we? Tatiana: Good point! Anastasia: So did you talk to Dmitri Tatiana? Tatiana: Yes I did and by the way Mashka? Maria: Yes Tatiana? Tatiana: Your Ivan is such a show off! Maria: I know... believe me i know! Tatiana: So I'm going to go and get my knitting and I'll meet you back at the beach right Olga? Olga: Yes and I'll bring my book... only this time (looks to the LP) we won't be interrupted correct? Anastasia: Don't worry... we'll leave you two alone! Tatiana: Oh you two had better! Sam (laughs as the BP exit): You two! So look at that... the BP got you back! Maria: Do you have to rub it in? Sam: Uh yeah... i think i do! Anastasia: So you're on their side? Sam (smiles): I'm not on either pair's side!
Anichkov Palace the last week of their vacation... Dmitri C-B: You know... I think we're almost done here! Nicholas: Yes we are! Only a few more things to go and we'll be all set! Alexandra (enters): This is lovely! You have all done an amazing job gentlemen! Nicholas: Thank you dear! Dmitri M: Yeah just a few things here... a few things there! Gentlemen... (nods to Alix) and my dear madame we are officially done! Alexandra: Oh they will be so pleased and proud when they come home! Ivan K: I can only imagine! Ivan S: Yeah I can't wait to the look on the Angel's face! Dmitri M: Same here with Tatiana!
They're packing getting ready to go... Olga: This vacation has been fun! Tatiana (laughs): Yes... yes it has! Maria (enters): Sam wants to know if you two are ready? Olga: Almost Mashka! Maria (nods): Okay I'll let her know! Tatiana: I can't wait to return to work! Olga: Tatiana! Tatiana: What... well I can't! Olga: Remember... do not overwork yourself! Tatiana: I know, i know! Let's just say I've learned my lesson... and i don't want to be in that position ever again! Olga: Good choice! Tatiana: Yeah I know! You guys are right... there's being dutiful and always wanting to help but then there's overdoing it! I don't want to make myself sick again! Olga: Hey but just think if you forget... we can always have another vacation here right? Tatiana (gasps): Olga! (thinks about it) That is true though! (Olga looks at her) Not going to happen! Like I just said... i don't ever want to be in that position again! Olga: I don't want you to be in that position again either... none of us do! Sam (enters): You two ready to go? Tatiana: Yes we are... let's head out!
Back home at Anichkov Palace as they wait for OTMA and Sam to return... Dmitri M: I can't wait to see them again... especially Tatiana! Ivan S: Me too with Mashka! Hey Malama? Dmitri M: Yeah? Ivan S: When is Dr. Malama returning to work? Dmitri M: Next week! I wouldn't doubt she's learned a valuable lesson in not overworking herself again! Dmitri C-B: I hope so cause that got me real worried for her! Ivan S: Me too! Ivan K: Same goes for me! Dmitri M: Thank you for caring about my wife! Ivan S: We're family... what do you expect? Dmitri M (smiles): Very true! Dmitri C-B (hears a door): That's the front door... that must be them! Dmitri M: Yeah I hear it too! Let go greet them!
TBC... They go and greet their wives/daughters/sisters (aka: the guys/Nicky and Alix/Alexei [and Nagorney])! Sam's gone to rest!

OTMA are back, and for the next few weeks, everything is okay, then one day...
Tatiana: Nastya. Anastasia: In the middle of drinking a bottle of water. What is it? Tatiana: I'm getting worried about you. You've been drinking a lot of water lately. Anastasia: Yeah, I have this thirst that just won't go away. Crazy isn't it. Tatiana: Have you been feeling tired a lot too? Anastasia: Now that you mention it, I have. Tatiana: That's it. Infirmary, now! Anastasia: But... Tatiana: No buts, get going! Anastasia: Yes Dr. Governess.
The Infirmary is in the new building next to Anichkov Palace. It had only been completed a week before. Some time later...
Tatiana: Hmmmmmm... Anastasia: Well, what is it? What's the problem? Tatiana: Well Nastya, I don't know how to tell you this, but you're gonna have to cut back on the sweets, if not give them up altogether. Anastasia: Why!? Tatiana: Because your blood sugar levels are much higher than they should be. Meaning... Anastasia: Meaning what!? Tatiana: I'm sorry, Nastya, you have diabetes. Type 1 to be precise. Anastasia: Huh? What does that mean? Tatiana: It means your pancrease can't produce the insulin your body needs to break down the sugar in your blood. If left untreated, it can rise to toxic levels. However, is it manageable. Begins writing on a pad. Anastasia: What's that you're writing? Tatiana: A perscript ion. You're going to have to inject yourself with insulin three times a day. Anastasia: Inject!? As in a needle? Tatiana: Yes, a needle. Anastasia: This..... This is a lot to take...
Tatiana: I know, Nastya, but we'll help you through it. I promise... (Anastasia runs off) where are you going!? Olga (comes in): What was that all about? Tatiana: Our sister has type 1 Diabetes... and it's from all that sugar consumption over the years! Olga: Oh dear... wait isn't type 1 the one where you have to... Tatiana (knows what she's going to say): Yes Olga it is! Ivan S (enters): Sorry to overhear but you may have a problem! Tatiana: What do you mean? (they hear a car) She wouldn't? Olga: Well this would be a new way to escape what she would term fuss! Tatiana: We have to stop her! (the three run out to see a black mustang drive off) Oh great! Now she's left her son behind again! Ivan S: No she didn't! Ivan and Paul are with her but they don't exactly know why! Olga: Great, just great! Ivan S (Olga laughs): This isn't funny! Olga: Sorry I was just thinking! Remember mine and Dmitri's little jaunt? Tatiana: After he broke you free from those manacles in that cell... how could any of us forget? Olga: Remember what Sam did? The GPS chip to keep track of me, she took out the car battery, and lets not forget that forcefield over the border to Poland so we still couldn't get there! Tatiana: Olga you are brilliant! Olga: I know! Tatiana: Let's go find her!
On the road... Ivan K: So tell me again why we are taking this little roadtrip! Anastasia: Well as empowered as I feel like Olga when she did this... this is a whole another story then hers! Ivan K: Was that an answer to the question imp? Anastasia: Chocolate is my life... end of story! Ivan K: What does chocolate have to do with this trip? Anastasia: Oh just something I've been told by Dr. Malama that i don't agree with! Ivan K: She's the doctor! Whatever Tatiana said... she knows what she's talking about! Anastasia: I've put up with enough fuss in my life... I'm not going to have more fuss added to it! It's bad enough i still have to put up that defective back muscle massage thing... now lets add injecting myself with a needle three count them three times a day all because of whatever it is Dr. Governess said! Insulin... yeah that's the word! Ivan K: Insulin? Have you become Diabetic imp? Anastasia: That's what she says... type 1 she calls it! Ivan K: Oh great!
Back at Palace, OTM and the others find her... Sam: Hey! (looks at their expressions) Is something wrong? Maria: One word... fuss! Sam: That nurse doesn't come again until tomorrow! Tatiana: No... it's more or less new fuss! Sam: I don't understand! Olga: It turns out that the imp is a type 1 diabetic! Sam: Oh dear! Tatiana: When i mentioned insulin injections three times a day and that we would all help her through it... she ran off! Ivan S: Yeah and then she gathered her husband and son and drove off in her car! Olga started laughing about it when it reminded her of when she and Dmitri did that! Dmitri C-B: Oh yeah... I remember what Sam put us through! Olga: So we're thinking do the same to them! (Sam waves her hand) What did you just do? Sam: Follow me to the computer! Olga (gasps): You put a chip on her like you did to me! Sam: Only this time I'm not going to tell her that considering what happened with you! After telling you there was a tracking device on you... you managed to still get off my radar! Olga: I changed into another dress! Sam: Figures! What she doesn't know won't give her any ideas! Don't worry about her... it will all be handled trust me! Tatiana: You're still more or less letting her get away? Sam: Well yes and no! Governess you need to call your father and persuade him not to call the cossacks on them since he'll listen to you of course! When she pushes herself to the limit... I'll swoop in and get her! Olga: So you're going to let her make herself sick? Sam: Yes... though mind you not too much but just enough to teach her a lesson! Ivan S: Oh you have a good plan don't you? Sam: You best believe I do! I have a friend with Diabetes type 2 actually i think... one Christmas she overdid the sugar and ended up not so well! Ivan S: Oh you're good! Sam: Yeah and don't any of you forget it either! Maria: How can we? You surprise everyday! Sam: I suppose I do... Tatiana go call your father! Tatiana: I'm on it!
On phone... Tatiana: Papa...
TBC... Uh-oh the Imp has pulled a "season 5 Olga" and like Sam says what the imp doesn't know won't give her any ideas cause yeah she is totally clueless about the GPS tracking device!

Tsarskoe Selo...
Nicholas: Picks up phone.. Hello? Tatiana: On phone. Papa, I just diagnosed Anastasia with Type 1 diabetes. Nicholas: What!? Tatiana: Yeah, all that sugar she has consumed over the years finally caught up with her. Nicholas: Can.... is... she all right? Tatiana: Yes, it can be managed, she has to inject herself with insulin three times a day. However, there's a problem. Nicholas: What is it? Tatiana: After I told her, she gathered up her Ivan and Paul and took off in their car. Nicholas: I'll get the Cossacks after them right away! Tatiana: No, that's why I'm calling. Sam asked that you not do that. Nicholas: Why not? Tatiana: Because she's tracking Nastya like she did Olga a few years ago. Nicholas: Yes, I remember that. Tatiana: Anyway, she'll get Nastya when the time comes. Nicholas: Okay, Tatiana, I'll defer this to your judgment.
Soon...
Alexandra: Oh my poor little Anastasia! Begins to cry. Nicholas: Comforts her. We'll get through this, Alix, we'll help her anyway we can.
Anichkov Palace...
Maria: Look, they've just crossed the Polish border! Olga: You think they're going to Spala? Maria: That would make sense. Where else would any of us go in Poland? Tatiana: Well, Papa is not sending the Cossacks. Of course, that doesn't matter now since Poland is outside their jurisdiction. I guess now we wait.
And so, at Spala...
Ivan K: Why did we come here? Anastasia: I need time to think. Can you pass me one of the bottled waters. My mouth is as dry as the Sahara...
Little do they know the tracking device is also a recorder (who says Sam plays fair)! Maria: Guys... listen you can also hear them! Olga (as they all listen): You can! Sam! Sam (comes in): Yeah? Olga: You put something on her to hear her? Sam: Oh the little microphone? Yeah why? Olga: Listen! Ivan K (voice): Here you go... one bottle of water coming up! Anastasia (voice): Thanks! At least I'm not my dress doesn't haven't a tracking device like Olga! Olga: That's where you're wrong Imp! Tatiana: She has no clue does she? Maria: Nope doesn't look like it! Olga: You didn't do this to me when me and Dmitri had our little jaunt did you? Sam: Oh the mike? No... i just thought I'd do something a little different! Here's one way to track how she's feeling! Tatiana: She's right! If we hear Nastya says something like she's feeling ill... Sam will go in and get her! Sam: Precisely! Maria: Oh you are so clever! Sam: Well Olga needs a break from it sometimes you know? Olga: Oh very cute!
They continue listening... Ivan K: How are you feeling Comrade imp? Anastasia (sits): Fine... a little tired! How's Paul? Ivan K: He's sleeping! Anastasia: Good! I'm surprised though you know? Ivan K: About? Anastasia: Sam hasn't tried anything on me yet! Ivan: Yeah... that is weird! Anastasia: Maybe it's cause she knows she can't win this time! Ivan K: Maybe!
Anichkov Palace... Sam: I can't win huh? I'm already winning imp! Olga: We're all winning aren't we? Sam: Yes... you're right! Maria (hears the front doors): I'll go see who it is! Sam: Please do! Maria (enters with Nicky and Alix): It's Mama and Papa! Alexandra: Please find her! Sam (motions them to go to the computer): Don't worry about it! Besides I'm also doing something that i didn't do with Olga! Nicholas: Which is what? Sam: You see this other little program here running... the one next to the GPS Tracker? Nicholas: Yes! Alexandra: What is it? Sam: It's a sound recorder! Nicholas: I don't understand! Sam: See... when Anastasia talks you'll her conversation and you'll hear Ivan because he's nearby where the mike i secretly hid on her will pick his voice up as well! When she talks... these bars will jump to indicate a voice is being heard in the microphone! Olga: Yeah Papa just watch and listen!
Spala... Anastasia: Can you hand me that water bottle again? Ivan K: Sure! So how long do you think we'll stay here? Anastasia: I don't know... hey maybe we could move here! Ivan K: Move? You mean literally? Anastasia: I am not going be stuck with a needle... no way... no more fuss period!
Anichkov Palace... Alexandra: Amazing! She hasn't a clue i take it? Sam: None whatsoever! See I made the mistake of telling Olga i was tracking her! Olga: Yeah that wasn't a smart choice! Sam (smiles): Shush you! So I wasn't going to take that chance again with Anastasia! Nicholas: I must commend you on a job well done! Sam: Well I have help! Mine aren't the only eyes watching or ears listening now are they? Maria: You're right they aren't! Sam: Call if anything happens... I'll be around! Tatiana: Oh don't worry we will! Wait what if she and Ivan... you know? Sam: Oh what if they have... oh don't worry magic will block that out! Maria: Good cause I don't think i need to hear any of that! Sam: Me neither! Once again I'll be around!
TBC... They're going to be in Spala... for a WHILE! And everyone is still "eavesdropping" on them not that they would know that of course!
Spala...
Anastasia: Wakes up. Ivan, where have you been? Ivan K: Just out chopping some wood. Anastasia: That's good to know. Reaches for another bottle of water. Ivan K: That's your fifth bottle in the last hour. Anastasia: I know, I can't shake this thirst. Takes a bit drink. Ivan K: Anastasia... Anastasia: Don't! I don't want to hear about diabetes, or insulin, or needles, okay? Ivan K realizes he better back off for now. Ivan K: Sorry Imp, I'll let you get some more rest now.
Anichkov Palace...
Maria: Listening. She's gone to sleep. Tatiana: However, Ivan said she's had five bottles of water in an hour. It fits. Olga: How so? Tatiana: One symptom of diabetes is extreme thirst. She's dehydrating, so she drinks water to compensate. Constant fatigue is another symptom. Alexandra: Is she going to be okay, Tanya? Please tell me she is. Tatiana: Mama, all I can say is that she needs to face this and realize that things have changed. It won't be easy for her, you know how she is. Nicholas: Oh, yes, we know. However, is she going to be in any danger soon. Tatiana: No, Papa, not yet at least. However, thanks to Sam, I can monitor her. If she gets really sick, I'll know, and Sam can go get her and take her to the Medical Center. Nicholas: Part of me still thinks we should go get her now. Tatiana: No, Papa, she need her space. As I said, we'll act when the time comes...

Sam (comes in): Tatiana? Tatiana: Yes? Sam: I put a new icon up! It says Web Cam! Tatiana: You want me to open don't you? (Sam nods) Done! Maria (gasps): You put a camera in so we can now watch didn't you? Sam: A couple! See... go to Cam 2! Tatiana (does so): That's Ivan! Sam: So it is! This is the outside cam! Cam 3! (Tatiana goes to 3) Another room... so if they enter we'll see it! Olga: What if they go to the kitchen? Sam: That's the last one which is Cam 4... the kitchen Camera! Olga: Oh you are just so sneaky! Sam: Aren't I just? Don't worry the Cam's screen will be black if they're... well you know! Tatiana: Thank god for that! Sam: I say give it a couple more days... a week if need be and she'll make herself ill soon! Tatiana (goes back to Cam 1): She's awake again and she's drinking more water! Maria: What is that bag she just took out of her suitcase? Sam: Chocolate... i should have known!
Spala... Anastasia: Try to keep sweets away from me huh... oh i don't think so! Ivan K: You should have only a little... i don't want anything happening to you! Anastasia: Don't worry... I'll limit it! I just won't be stuck with any needles... not gonna happen! Ivan K: Okay then Comrade imp! Anastasia: Yeah that's what I thought you'd say!
Anichkov Palace... Tatiana: Oh imp... just wait! You'll learn soon enough! Olga: A lesson must be learned! Maria: Yep and pretty soon she'll learn it real fast! Nicholas: I couldn't agree more! Alexei: And I thought i could be daredevilish when i was still a hemophiliac! Nagorney (behind him): Yes I remember Tobolsk... among other things! You really shouldn't of sled down those stairs there! Alexei: Yeah i know alright... lesson learned! Alexandra: I should hope so Alexei! Nicholas: Where has Sam gone to? Maria: She's outside on the balcony... sitting and turning into Olga! Olga: Hey! Still in the room so what does that mean? Maria: She's reading again! Olga: Oh... yeah that does sound like me! Maria: Go figure!
TBC... Sneaky, sneaky, sneaky! Limiting herself she isn't really going to get "ill" anytime soon! The adventure between the Anichkov Palace and Spala continues... it's the "Spala and Anichkov Palace" story arc hour!
Spala, Day Two...
Anastasia: Drinking orange juice. I just can't shake this thirst. Ivan K: Want some toast. Anastasia: Shakes her head. No, I'm just not hungry. Ivan K: Are you sure. Anastasia: Yeah, I am. Hears Paul. He's awake, I'll go take care of him.
Anichkov Palace...
Tatiana: Watching the Web Cam. Another sure symptom, loss of appetite. Maria: Will her cutting back on the sweets help. Tatiana: It will for a little while, Mashka. However, the problem is the sugar that's already in her blood. Without insulin, there is nothing to break it down. Olga: So, she's just bought herself a little time by cutting back the sweets. Tatiana: Yes, that's it exactly. Nicholas and Alexandra enter. Alexandra: So what's going on now? Tatiana: They just ate breakfast, or rather I should say Ivan just ate breakfast. Nastya just had some glasses of orange juice. Olga: Tatiana was just saying that loss of appetite is another symptom of diabetes. Nicholas: So, it seems the symptoms are increasing. Tatiana: Yes, they are. Soon she'll be sleeping a lot, and going to the bathroom a lot. Maria: You mean like me? Tatiana: Yes, Mashka, although the causes are quite different. By being thirsty all the time and constantly drinking, she takes in more fluids than her body needs, so it has to get rid of it. Maria: We won't see that, I hope! Tatiana: Shakes her head. No, Sam said that the cameras would also go black when nature calls. Nastya will have some privacy. Maria: How do you think she'd feel if she knew we were watching her right now. Tatiana: Not too thrilled, I'm guessing.
Ivan K: So are you ready to go back yet? Anastasia (yawns): Nope... I'll let you know! Ivan K: You look like you could use some more sleep... go get some then! Anastasia: I just woke up about 5 minutes ago! I'll be fine don't worry! Ivan K: Alright... I'd rather not argue with you!
Anichkov Palace... Olga: Sounds like someone else i know! Tatiana: Who? Olga: You! "I'd rather not argue with you"... sounds like your rubbing off on him! Maria: No this is different... Ivan's being smart! Tatiana's just scared! Tatiana: Don't forget that Tatiana's still in the room right next to you! Maria: Just saying! How much longer do you think she can go on like this? Tatiana: Not much longer I'm sure!
Spala... Anastasia: Do we still have some toast left? Ivan K: Yeah I saved some just in case you finally wanted it! Anastasia (Takes the toast Ivan hands her): Thanks... needed this! Ivan K: Yeah... you do need it! Anastasia: So has Paul been fed? Ivan K: Yeah... he was hungry! Anastasia: I bet! (Ivan chuckles) What? Ivan K: It's just... i never thought this would happen! Anastasia: What? Ivan K: Us... me being a father... i just never saw it coming! Anastasia: Same here! I always figured i was too impish and stuff to ever be a mother! But being a mother has made me grow up in some ways you know? Ivan K: So I've seen! I remember back at Ipatiev House... I always called you a "charming little devil" which you still kind of are you know? Anastasia: Yeah I know! Ivan K: Are you okay... you look a little pale? Anastasia: Oh yeah I'm fine... I'm guessing it's all the whatever Tatiana called it! Where I'm always so sleepy there! Ivan K: Fatigue? Anastasia: Yeah that's the word! Ivan K: Okay... just making sure!
Anichkov Palace... Alexei: How's it going? Tatiana: She may be starting to feel ill in the next couple days! Olga: That won't be good! Maria: I wouldn't want to see that! Alexei: That means Sam will go in and get her right? Tatiana: Right but I wouldn't doubt she'd talk to her and give her insulin and stuff first! Maria: Yeah I wouldn't doubt it either!
Spala... Ivan K (Anastasia's laughing): What's so funny Comrade Imp? Anastasia: Have you even noticed that none of them are coming after us? Ivan K: Yeah but isn't Poland a free country now... the cossacks have no say here anymore! Anastasia: True but i meant like the rest of the family! Mama and Papa are back in Tsarkoe Selo at the Alexander Palace and Sam and my sisters and brother and Nagorney are still at Anichkov Palace! It's funny... they haven't like tried to get us to return or anything! Ivan K: Yeah that is something to wonder about!
Anichkov Palace... Tatiana: No Anastasia... we are on your trail but we just all want to teach you a little lesson! Olga: Yeah too bad she doesn't know that Mama and Papa are actually here! Maria: I wouldn't doubt that even Papa's going to have a few choice words with her when she gets back! (Tatiana looks at her) After she's more recovered of course! Tatiana: That's better! Maria: Just a few more days imp... you'll be back home whether you like it or not! Olga: Hey if i could deal with a needle being pricked into my arm everyday back in 1915 so can she! I don't like needles anymore than anyone else does but i put up with it every day! Maria: Huh? Tatiana: She was talking about the Arsenic Injections for her depression! I've read about them though... it's a good thing those injections were stopped after a while! Olga: Tell me about it! Tatiana: I just did! Olga: Yeah but... (realizes Tatiana's sarcasm) oh very funny! Tatiana: Why thank you... i do have my moments you know? Olga: Yeah, yeah, yeah... i know, i know!
Spala and Anastasia's sleeping again...
TBC... in my next one Sam has to go and rescue the imp! In the meantime everyone's still watching them!
Spala, the next morning...
Anastasia: IVAN! Ivan K: Rushes into the room. What's wrong, Imp? Anastasia: It's my guts. They feel like they're being squeezed in a vice! Ivan touches his wife, she's clammy and sweaty. Ivan K: Oh my God, this is not good. Anastasia: OW! I know. Now I wish, ow, that I had stayed home. Ivan K: Don't worry, Imp, I'll get you to the nearest hospital as fast as possible!

Anichkov Palace...
Maria: What's happening to her? Tatiana: It's what I've been fearing. These pains are the first signs that she's in real trouble. Unless help gets to her fast, she's going to lapse into a diabetic coma! Olga: I think it's time for Sam to go into action. Tatiana: I agree. I'll go tell her now...
Tatiana (finds her): It's time! Sam: She's sick isn't she? Tatiana: Oh yeah! Sam: I'm on my way! Tatiana (Sam pops up a pair of keys): You can drive? Sam: Yes I can drive! I'll be back with her and Ivan!
Spala... Ivan K: Hold on Imp! Anastasia: I am! Ivan K: I'll call the others! (someone gets to him first) Hello? Sam (voice): I'm on my way right now! Ivan K: I was just about to call you all! Sam: No need... we'll explain how we know once you, her, and I get back to the palace! Ivan K: Alright but hurry!
On the road in red Mustang... Sam: Dammit imp... you're as bad as Olga is sometimes! (her phone rings, it's hooked to the car with an ear bud in her ear so she can still answer and drive) Talk to me! Maria: Are you there? Sam: Almost! Olga (as it's on speaker): Are you like speeding there? Sam: Yes and no! I started driving then half way through i popped over near Spala! We'll see you when we get back! Maria: Alright! Sam (hangs up): Well that worked well!
Anichkov Palace... Dmitri C-B: She'll get back here in time right? Olga: Yes... we just have to have faith in her! Tatiana: Where was that statement when Alexei ran off and you fell into that hole... because you DIDN'T have faith in her then! Olga: Okay, okay! Point taken Governess! Maria: Guys chill and watch! Tatiana: I hear a car! Maria: That must be her! Dmitri M: Look... there she is!
Spala... Sam: I'm here! I brought some stuff with me too! Anastasia: How did you know where to find us? Sam: We'll explain in a couple weeks when you're recovered! Anastasia (Sam pulls out a needle and an insulin monitor): You gotta be kidding me!? Keep that away! Sam: Listen you wanna get better or not!? Anastasia: Well yeah! I feel miserable! Sam: Then trust me! Believe me after doing it so many times you'd forget the little shot of pain you'll feel is even there! (showing her the monitor) All you need do is prick your finger (shows the needle and presses the button) with this and you'll have this test strip to put blood on then this monitor will read your blood sugar intake! You see... the blood strip is already in the monitor and do that before you test your blood! Ivan K: You know this all how? Sam: I have a friend who goes through this everyday... she knows what it's like! Just trust me! We don't have time to argue unless you want to get worse... you don't want that now do you!? Anastasia: Oh fine! (after she quickly extends a hand she pulls it away) I can't do this! Sam (takes her hand back): Yes you can! Think of it this way... have you ever pricked your finger sewing? Anastasia: A couple times... why? Sam: It hurt only a little and the pain went away right? Anastasia: Right! Sam: That's how this goes! (Anastasia just looks at her) Just trust me?
Anichkov Palace, they've gotten Nicky, Alix and Alexei with Nagorney present so they're all watching.... Alexei: Come on trust her Nastya! Maria: You can do this imp! Olga: I thought I was stubborn! Tatiana: No comment coming from me on that statement! Olga: Oh thanks! Tatiana: Quite welcome actually! Come on Anastasia... it's for your own good!
Spala... Anastasia (just looks at her then sighs and rolls her eyes): Fine... do it before I change my mind again! Sam (hands her the needle): I'm going to let you do it! Anastasia (after a moment's hesitation she does it): OW! Sam: See now just squeeze your finger to get a bubble of blood (Anastasia does so) like that and put it on the strip! (Anastasia does so) See that wasn't so hard now was it? Anastasia: There's a number that just popped up! Sam: Yeah there is! Ivan K (Sam's eyes widen): What's wrong!? Sam: We need to get you too Tatiana's medical center pronto! You're blood sugar is too high! Anastasia: That's not good is it! Sam: No not good at all! Ivan get her into the car! (after Ivan exits she's look right at everyone viewing the cam) Close out the webcam and GPS... it's over!
Anichkov Palace... Tatiana (nods): Okay! (she does so) Let's go to the medical center and we'll meet them there! Alexandra: Yes I just hope the little one is alright! Tatiana: She will be once we start taking care of her! Olga: I believe she's right! Then again... Tatiana is the doctor so why wouldn't she be right? Tatiana: Thank you! Olga: Welcome and it's true! Tatiana: Okay enough talk let's go!
On the road Sam and Anastasia in her car and Ivan and Paul in theirs... Sam (looking through the rearview): How you doing back there? Anastasia: Not so well thank you very much! Sam: You know this never would have happened if you hadn't run off right? Anastasia: Yell at me later... right now isn't the time! Nice car by the way! Sam: Thanks! Usually out of the rare times i actually drive... this is the car i choose out of all the others i have! Anastasia: You have more? (Sam nods) Cool! (Sam's phone goes off) Your phone is going off! Sam: So i see! Thankfully i have my handsfree so i can still talk! (put ear bud in and presses send) Talk to me! Tatiana (voice): We just entered the Medical Center and we're all waiting for you! Sam: ALL? Tatiana (voice): Yes, Mama and Papa, Alexei, Nagorney, Olga, Maria, their men and of course myself are here waiting! Sam: Alright we're almost there! Tatiana (voice): Mama wants to know how Anastasia is! Sam: She's hanging in there! Tatiana (voice): Mama thanks you for answering! We'll see you soon? Sam: Very in fact we're pulling into the center in four... three... two... we're here! (phone hangs up) Hello? (she looks out the window to see Tatiana rush out with a wheelchair) Oh there she is! (she gets out of the car) She's in the back! Tatiana: I see her! Where's... (she hears a car) oh there they are! Let's get her inside! (Sam helps Anastasia out) Sit imp! (they start rolling her inside) Let's take care of you!
TBC... Luckily the imp's been saved from an almost diabetic coma but she came pretty close! Don't worry the imp will be just fine... give or take a week or two! Later on Anastasia and Ivan are told about the GPS and the cameras... and just as suspected Anastasia isn't to thrilled but after a bit she's okay with considering in the end the spying saved her life!

Later, we see Anastasia in a room at the medical center. An IV drip, containing insulin and fluids, is hooked up to her. Tatiana comes in.
Anastasia: Well, Dr. Governess, will I live or die? Tatiana: You'll live. Luckily Sam got to you in time. Anastasia: I guess I have her to thank. Tatiana: Dammit, Nastya, what were you thinking!? Running off like that! Anastasia: I just freaked out. Tatiana: Well you could have DIED! Anastasia: Hey, don't snap at me! Tatiana: I'm sorry, Imp. It's just that we could have lost you. Anastasia: I imagine Papa is not too happy with me either. Tatiana: He isn't. However, right now you're still too weak to have visitors, so his lecture will have to wait. Anastasia: I guess. Tatiana: Listen, Imp, this is a big change, and I can understand you freaking out. But remember, you are not going through this alone. We'll all be here for you. Anastasia: Yeah, I should have thought of that. How are my blood sugar levels now. Tatiana: Dropping, thankfully. The insulin we're pumping into you is doing its job. Anastasia: And I'm going to have to inject myself three times a day for the rest of my life? Tatiana: Yes, you may have too. As of yet, there is no cure for diabetes, but at least it can be controlled. You can still live a normal life, just be careful, that's all. Anastasia: It's a lot to take in. Tatiana: It is, but let's not worry about this now. You're going to be here at the Center for at least a week. After that, we'll see what happens. Anastasia: Okay...
Tatiana: You need your rest! Anastasia: Haven't I been sleeping enough though? Tatiana: Yes but after this incident it's important you get a lot of rest so that you can regain your energy! Anastasia: I suppose you're right Dr. Governess... or should i say Dr. Malama since we're here at the center! Tatiana: Ha! Ha! Rest! Nicholas (Tatiana comes out): How is she? Tatiana: She'll be alright, however this is a lot for her to take in! Nicholas: I'm going to have quite a word with her for this! Tatiana: Not right now Papa... she's still too weak from that first diabetic attack! Wait until it's more towards the end of the week! Then... if she's more recovered to see visitors then you can go in! Nicholas: Very well! I understand! (See's Sam go past and into the room) Didn't you just say? Tatiana: She's helping at the center sometimes! Sam (pokes her head out): Didn't know that did you Nicky? Nicholas: I... uh... no! Sam (comes out for a bit): I figured after that double shift incident that Tatiana needed some help here at the center so i volunteered! Tatiana: Even though i told her that she didn't have to but... Sam (finishes the sentence): I insisted! Tatiana: Exactly! Papa why don't you and the others go home for a bit? Nicholas: We'll do that! You'll call if something happens! Tatiana: But of course we will Papa! (Beeper goes off) I have to run, I'm needed in surgery! Nicholas: Alright!
As they've all gone home, Sam's in the room... Sam (Anastasia slowly wakes up): Hey! How you feeling? Anastasia: I'm getting better! I'm starting to feel stronger little by little! Thank you! Sam: For what? Anastasia: For two things actually now! Sam: Which are? Anastasia: For saving my life and for help Tatiana here at the center! We don't need a double shift repeat! I overheard it out there! Sam: You're quite welcome though i needn't of had to if you hadn't driven off like that! Has Tatiana explained Diabetes more to you in detail! Anastasia: Yeah I know a lot about it now! I wonder though... Sam: You wonder what? Anastasis (smiles): What your blood sugar count is? Sam (laughs): It's a good thing we have to check yours then isn't it? Anastasia: Again? Sam: Three times a day remember? Don't worry this the third and final time for today! Anastasia: Hand it over I suppose! Sam: Here it is! Anastasia (gasps): I hate this! (puts blood on strip) There we go! Look my number is lower! Sam: That's good! What are you doing Anastasia (replaces needle and puts a new strip in): There we go! (She hands to Sam) Your turn! Sam (laughs): Oh really! (Anastasia smiles) Oh fine... fair is fair! (does it and gasps herself) See? Anastasia: Your sugar is normal! Sam: Well I would think it would be! (replaces needle and puts everything back in it's case) Dr. Malama is right get some more rest! Anastasia: You'll come in and visit and make sure I'm alright again won't you? Sam: Yeah tomorrow! Rest imp! Anastasia: Oh okay! Wait... (Sam turns in the doorway) how's Ivan and Paul? Sam: Paul is too young to understand any of this and Ivan is very concerned for you! We're all concerned! But the point is... you're going to be okay! Now rest... Doctor's orders! Anastasia (Sam has to stop again): But where's Tatiana? Sam: She's involved in a surgery right now! Anastasia (sarcastic): Oh i bet she's having fun there! Sam: Sarcastically speaking right back... I'm sure she is too! (they both laugh a little) Rest... NOW imp! Anastasia: Alright, alright! But... Sam (looks at her): Not another word imp! (Anastasia falls asleep) You are one crazy girl sometimes! Anastasia (even though her eyes are closed she hasn't fully drifted off, she smiles): I heard that! Sam (laughs): Well it's true!
TBC.... Isn't that sweet of Sam to more or less "protect" Tatiana from letting something like that happen again? Anastasia I'm sure has surely learned her lesson I bet!
The next day...
Anastasia: Looks down at the tray of food Tatiana had put in front of her. What's this? Tatiana: Food that's good for you. Whole wheat bread, vegetables, a little meat. You have to start eating responsibly now, Nastya. Anastasia: So no more sweets, ever. Tatiana: No, you can still eat sweets, but not as much as you used to. In fact, if you are out, you should take a candy bar in case you get hypoglycemia. Anastasia just looks at her with a "say what?" look. Tatiana: Sorry, anyway, hypoglycemia means when your blood sugar levels get too low. When that happens, you start shaking and get sweaty. Anastasia: And a candy bar will help with this hypo...hypo... What you just said? Tatiana: Yes, it will. It will be a balancing act, Nastya, but you'll cope. Others have. Anastasia: I guess I can't have any more Pepsi then either. Tatiana: No, but you can drink Diet Pepsi. It has no sugar in it. Anastasia: Yeah, I guess I can. Tatiana: Anyway, I have to do my rounds now. I'll be back to check on your later. Leaves. Anastasia begins to eat when the door opens and her Ivan comes in. Anastasia: Ivan! I didn't know Tatiana had allowed me visitors yet. Ivan K: She hasn't. I snuck in. Anastasia: Laughs. You did! I hope the Governess doesn't catch you! Ivan K: That's a chance I'm willing to take. I just had to see you. How are you feeling? Anastasia: Better. My appetite is back, as you can see. Tatiana was just explaining a few things. She said I could still have some sweets, just not as much as I used to. Ivan K: That sounds about right. I've been reading up on diabetes myself. Anastasia: She also said a candy bar would when I get hypo..... When my blood sugar gets to low. Ivan K: It's just to have a doctor in the family. Anastasia: Yes, it is. Where's Paul? Ivan K: Maria's looking after him. Anastasia: Mashka and kids. She sure loves them. Ivan K: I know. Anyway, I better go before Tatiana catches me here and reads me the Riot Act. Get well soon, Comrade Imp. Anastasia: I will, Ivan. I promise.
Anastasia (Sam comes in): Insulin take two! (notices the bag) What's that? Sam: Oh this is chocolate... what does it look like? (hands the bag to her) Read what it says though! Anastasia: It says Sugar free! Sam: Exactly! I eat these whenever they're in the house! If you like mint patties... you'll still like these! By the way... yes they're Dr. Malama approved! Anastasia: Sweet... no pun intended! Thanks for the more safer chocolate... Insulin Machine if you will? Sam (hands her, her monitor): Here you go! (She doesn't hesitate) Wow you didn't hesitate this time! Anastasia: I guess I just have to do it so I might as well quit hesitating about it! (after she's done she throws one to Sam) Here catch! Sam (catches the chocolate mint patty): Thanks! (looks to door making sure Tatiana isn't around) How was your visit with Ivan? Anastasia (eyes go wide): You knew? Sam: Oh i knew! Anastasia: Wait a minute... you brought him in didn't you? Sam: Who me? Yes I did! I figured a small visit while Tatiana's needed in another surgery wouldn't hurt too much! Anastasia: Thanks... though you know I'm sure the Governess would yell at you for that! Sam: She'd have to find out first though! Speaking of... I hear footsteps! (Tatiana enters) Hey look it's Dr. Malama! Tatiana: I just want to make sure she's checked her blood sugar count for the second time today! Anastasia: I did and it's getting to a more normal amount! Hey Tatiana? Tatiana: Yes imp? Anastasia: Catch! Tatiana (catches the mint): Thank you but I'll keep this for later! Anastasia: Okay that's cool! Tatiana/Sam: Get some rest! Tatiana (laughs): Great minds think alike it seems! Sam: So it does! (looks to Anastasia) Seriously though, get some rest! Anastasia: Oh i will... I'm tired anyhow!
Anichkov Palace... Maria (with the children around her): Papa are you alright? Nicholas: I'm... fine... just... just concerned! Olga (Gibbes her own father): Papa... remember what Tatiana says! Nicholas: Thank you dear I needed that! Olga: Uh-huh! So how are all the children? Maria: They're fine! Paul doesn't even seem to notice though that his mama isn't around! Olga: Well he's too young to understand just yet of course! Maria: You think she's going to be fine? Olga: Oh yeah... she'll be fine! Hey maybe if you have some actual training like Tatiana did... you could join her at the center! Maria (laughs): No... taking care of the children keeps me busy enough! Nicholas (laughs): She's right actually! Olga (smiling): Just saying!
TBC... The imp is doing better! That was sneaky of Sam! By the way those chocolate mint patties Sam gave her... i really do like them a lot even if they're sugar free!
The next day...
Tatiana: Well, Imp, you can have visitors now. Here are two of them. Maria and Olga enter. Olga: So how's our little wanderer. Anastasia: I'm doing better. I don't even mind the pricks to take my blood sugar levels anymore. Maria: Are those chocolates? Anastasia: Yeah, they're sugar free. Sam gave them to me. Tatiana: With my approval, I might add. Anastasia: Well, it's nice that there are some sweets I will be able to eat. Tatiana: As long as you're careful Imp. Oh, and I have other news. Anastasia: Which is? Tatiana: You're recovering faster than I thought. You might be going home sooner than expected. Anastasia: That's good to hear. Olga: Yeah, we've missed you Imp. Maria: Mama and Papa will be happy to have you home again. Anastasia: Oh yeah, and Papa will lecture me. Olga: Well, Imp, you had us all worried, running off like that. Anastasia: Yeah, I know. Maria: Still we were relieved when you went to Spala and... Breaks off. Anastasia: Wait a second. How did you know I was at Spala? Silence falls. Anastasia: Okay, how did you all know where I was. I would like an answer please....
Olga: Nice going Mashka! Maria: Sorry it slipped! Tatiana: It shouldn't matter... she's more recovered now so we can tell her! Olga: Remember 5 years ago when Dmitri and I took off? Anastasia: How could anyone forget? Olga: Do you remember what Sam did... even though i still managed to disappear from it after a while! Maria: Yeah she shouldn't of told you! Anastasia: Yeah she put a tracking device on you so we could all monitor you on a GPS Tracking system! Maria: Exactly! Anastasia (realizes): She didn't... we weren't... no way? Olga: She did... you were... yes way! Anastasia: She... I... we... how did you manage to get off it? Olga: First I took out my hairpins and then when she opened her big mouth and transferred it to my dress I changed into another one... hence I fell of everyone's radar! See, she knew better than to tell you anything! As she said... "what the imp doesn't know won't give her any ideas." and she was right! Maria: Well that and you had some extra stuff... a mini microphone so we could hear you on a sound recorder and after a while Sam put in some Cameras! How do you think we knew where you were and how it is that we knew you were starting to get sick? Tatiana: We watched, tracked, and listened to you day and night! When you told Ivan you were starting to be in pain... the rest of the plan went into action! Sam more or less sped in and saved you! Anastasia: You were spying on me!? Olga: Spying is such a harsh term... looking out for you is a better one! Anastasia (mad as well...): Get out! Tatiana: Nastya please... it was for your own good! Anastasia: How can spying be for my own good!? Maria: That being asked by someone who's good at eavesdropping on others is surprising! Anastasia: Answer the question! Olga: Listen here imp... you should be thankful we did all that because it saved your sorry life alright!? Tatiana: Olga! You don't have to yell at her! Olga: Why shouldn't I when she's clearly getting defensive over nothing!? Maria (trying not to look at Olga): Sounds like someone else i know! Olga (hisses at Maria knowing she means her): You be quiet! (to Anastasia) As for you "Mrs. Fuss" if we didn't as you call it "spy" on you... YOU WOULD BE IN A DIABETIC COMA OR WORSE DEAD! IS THAT WHAT YOU WOULD HAVE WANTED!? Tatiana: Olga stop screaming at her or i may have to sedate you! Olga (walks out): I'm done... let her get defensive all she likes! Maria: Olga? (Olga's gone) How are you feeling now by the way... don't mind Olga! Anastasia (smiles): I usually don't anyhow! I'm better even with all her screaming... Olga was just being Olga! Tatiana: So she was... well into three more days... I'll have you discharged from here! Anastasia: Cool! Still... I can't believe you were spying on us! Tatiana: It was for your own good and don't worry we didn't see any ahem... moments! Anastasia: Good cause then I'd be even madder! Tatiana: Well don't get yourself all worked up now! Besides we wouldn't want to see moments like any of that anyhow! Anastasia: Could you guys go... I'm getting tired! Tatiana: Alright! Anastasia: I can not believe them! Sam is in so much trouble!
TBC... She's less mad the next day but come the day after that she becomes more understanding and okay with it!
The next morning...
Tatiana: What are you doing out of bed? Anastasia: I got bored just lying there. Besides, I'm feeling better. Tatiana: Well, you have made some good progress Imp. Maybe you'd like to come down to the cafeteria with me and have breakfast. Anastasia: Sure.
Soon the two of them are having breakfast...
Anastasia: So is Mount Olga still upset with me. Tatiana: No, not really. You know how she is, act now, think later, remember. Anastasia: Yeah, but I realized she was right. If you guys hadn't been listening in, I might have died. I don't know if Ivan could have gotten me to a hospital in time. Tatiana: And that's why Sam did it. Unlike when Olga took her little jaunt, your life was at stake. Anastasia: Yeah, I know. She is like a fifth Romanov sister, isn't she. Tatiana: She sure is. Anastasia: So, how long until I can go home? Tatiana: Another day or two. I take it you've read the booklets I left you. Anastasia: Yeah, I have. So the best place to inject myself is my stomach? Tatiana: Yes, it is. It may seem big now, Nastya, but in time it will be like brushing your teeth. You won't even think it's unusual. Anastasia: I guess I'll take your word on it, Dr. Governess...
Soon Anastasia is discharged and comes home...
Anastasia: It's good to be home! Ivan K: I couldn't agree more! Olga (comes out of study with book in hand of course): The imp is home! (looks to floor then back up at her) Look about what I said... Anastasia: No worries... I sorta had it coming to me anyhow! (looks around) Is Papa around? Olga: No he and Mama went home for a bit but they want us to call and let them know when you're home! Anastasia: So Papa can come all the way here and lecture me i bet? Olga: Unfortunately yes! Anastasia: Great! I come home from the hospital only to get yelled at! Olga: Well... Anastasia: Shush Library Girl! Where's Mashka anyhow! Maria (coming down the stairs): I'm right here! I was... Anastasia: With the children? Maria: Yes, with the children! I came down to go of course get something to eat in the kitchen when I saw you! Welcome home imp! Anastasia: Good to be home... now if you'll both excuse me i am going to go check on my son and then take a nap! The first of today actually! Olga: Sounds good to me! Maria: Sounds good to me too... Paul will be happy to see you I'm sure! Anastasia: I'm sure he will be!
Tatiana's on the phone... Tatiana: Mama? Alexandra: Oh Tatiana... good to hear from you! How is Anastasia? Tatiana: Well Papa wanted us to call when she returned home right? Alexandra: Yes he did! Tatiana: She just came home today! Alexandra: That's wonderful news! I'll go tell your father and I'm sure he'll want to come right away! Tatiana: Very well Mama! (conversation ends) Oh boy... wait until Papa and Nastya talk! Olga (Tatiana enters): How did it go? Tatiana: Mama's telling Papa the news and soon they'll be on their way over! Olga: Everyone help the imp when Papa sees her! Tatiana: Yeah I wouldn't doubt she's in some trouble after scaring him and all of us like that! Olga: No comment! (phone goes off) Oh I got a txt from Papa! Tatiana: What does he say? Olga: They had to go to some reception but they will be here tomorrow! Tatiana: Oh... I suppose Nastya's lucky today! Olga: Yeah but she won't be tomorrow cause apparently from what is also in the txt... Papa does have some choice words to mix with her! He is full on ready to scold and he's not afraid to say it either! Tatiana: Oh dear... well it's not like she didn't have this coming! Olga: Yeah but he knows better to try and ground her here again! He's just going to scold on how she scared all of us and him... but he's also going to let her know that he's happy she's alright! Tatiana: Sounds like Papa alright! Olga: Yeah, yeah it does!
Anastasia finds Sam on the balcony, yes reading... Anastasia: Hey can we talk? Sam: Sure (closes book) what's on your mind? Anastasia: About yesterday... I didn't mean to yell at you when you came in! Sam: You were offended! Anastasia: Yeah but i realized today... that in the end if you hadn't of done all that something bad could have happened to me! Sam: You're right, it could have but you're learning from this experience i bet? Anastasia: More so then I want to! So no hard feelings? Sam (laughs): There were none to begin with Imp! Anastasia: Good... I'm happy to hear that! Sam: Go rest... you look as if you need to! Anastasia: I feel as if I do! I'll be around in a couple hours! Sam: Good to know!
Next Day in study, uh-oh Nicky has some words with Anastasia...
TBC... Like Olga says he's happy she's alright but she scared everyone! The imp is going to be okay!
Nicholas: Well young lady, I have some words to say to you! Anastasia: Papa... Nicholas: Don't "Papa" me. What were you thinking, running off like that? Anastasia: I was freaked out. Nicholas: That is NO excuse. Don't you realize what could have happened? You could have died out there? Anastasia: I know. Nicholas: You know!? What would have happened if you had died? Can you imagine what that would have done to your mother, to me, your sisters, and husband! Anastasia: But... Nicholas: Not to mention you have a son now! As I have said to Olga more times than I care to remember, YOUR ACTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES! Anastasia: Papa, your stress levels... Nicholas: Are high, yes. Well, can you blame me for getting worried? My youngest daughter is seriously ill and just runs off! If Sam hadn't planted those cameras, we would have had no idea where you were! We might have found ourselves having a funeral. Anastasia: Geez, Papa, that's morbid. Nicholas: But it's the truth. You scared the HELL out of me, out of your mother, out of your whole family! Anastasia: I know... Nicholas: Oh, if this were ten years ago, I'd ground you for a month, but I can't do that. Anastasia just hangs her head...
Meanwhile, outside...
Maria: What is going on in there? Olga: I don't know. I heard Papa raise his voice, but not much more. Tatiana: I hope Papa isn't getting stressed out. We don't want him having another stress attack. Maria: Listen, I hear more...
Nicholas (takes a breath and smiles): But that fact of the matter is... you're alright! None of us could be more grateful for that! Anastasia: That was it? I was actually expecting more! (runs and hugs her father) I love you Papa! Nicholas: I love you too Malenkaya... my little one! Anastasia (looks up at him): To think I may have never been able to hear that again! Nicholas: Go see what your sisters are doing! Anastasia: Alright Papa! Papa? Nicholas: Yes? Anastasia: I'm sorry I scared you! Nicholas: All we can do is move on little one... now go! Anastasia (smiles): Yes Papa!
Tatiana (comes out): How'd it go? Anastasia: It wasn't as bad as i half expected it to be! Olga: Is Papa okay? Anastasia: Oh yeah he's fine! For a moment there I actually thought a "Gibbes" would be in order! Maria: So are you going to be okay with everything now? Anastasia: I'll have to learn to handle it... doesn't mean i still have to like it though! Olga: No one says you have to! Tatiana: As I keep having to remind you... we're all right here behind you supporting you! Anastasia: That is a very comforting thought! I'm going to check on Paul! Maria: Go ahead imp! Anastasia (watches Maria): On your way to the kitchen again? Maria: How very observant! Gotta love cravings! Olga: I'm not going to comment! Tatiana: Me neither! Anastasia: Or me for that matter! Maria: Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Upstairs... Ivan K: I thought I'd find you up here again Comrade Imp! Anastasia: Hey Ivan! Ivan K: How'd it go with your father? Anastasia: I was expecting more scolding than anything else... that's not exactly what ended up happening though! Ivan K: So he didn't scold at all? Anastasia: Oh no he scolded me alright... then in the end he calmed down rather nicely and mentioned that everyone was grateful that i was okay! Ivan K: So it ended better than expected I suppose? Anastasia: Yeah, as a matter of fact it did actually! Ivan K: Good to hear!
Kitchen... Sam: Come to eat again? Maria: Yes although you already beat me to it i suppose! Sam (smiles eating ice cream): What can I say... I beat you to it! Here... (puts down the carton and goes and grabs a spoon) join me! Maria (takes the spoon): Gladly! Sam (as they both sit and eat): So how did it go? Maria: It went rather well! Sam (smiles): You were all eavesdropping weren't you? Maria: Me and Olga more so then Tatiana... but yeah we were! Sam: I hope your father's stress levels are okay! Maria: They were a bit high in the beginning but in the end they were okay! Papa's going to be just fine! Sam: That's good to hear! Maria: You just gotta love ice cream! Sam: I will second that... that's for sure! Maria: Poor imp though! Sam: How so? Maria (gestures to ice cream): This here... now with diabetes she almost can't eat stuff like this anymore! Sam: She can... just not all the time and in smaller quantities that's all! Maria: I doubt she's going to like that! Sam: Me too... but after what just happend i think she knows better! Maria: So do I!
TBC... Who doesn't love ice cream? At least it ended better than she expected it to!
Olga, Tatiana, and Anastasia enter...
Anastasia: Ice cream? Oh I'm going to miss eating that. Tatiana: Well, Imp, that's not exactly true. You can still have it, just not as much. Anastasia: Can I have some now? Tatiana: Sure, just a little bit though. Anastasia: Yay! Runs over to the table. Olga: Looks like the Imp is adjusting well. Tatiana: Smiles. We all are, Olga, we all are.

SIBERIA...
The frozen tundra is rocked as a fireball comes screaming out of the sky and crashes into a forest. Zoom in and we see that it is man made with the words UNITED STATES LUNAR SEVEN SHUTTLE on it. Inside, we see a calendar with the year 2071 on it. We see a young woman named Kathyrn Munro, with brunette hair and brown eyes, very badly hurt, trying to make radio contact.Kathyrn Munro: Houston.....this..... This.... is..... Major Munro...... Have achieved reentry..... Off course...... Don't know where I landed..... Houston....can....you....read? Hou...... Loses consciousness.Sam: So how is your blood sugar? Anastasia: It's good and normal! Sam: That's good! Tatiana: I don't know if any of you have noticed but she really seems to like those chocolate mints! Sam (laughs): They're good aren't they? Anastasia: Yeah who would've known sugar free candy would actually be good! Sam: I know but things surprise you all the time! Olga: That's true! Tatiana (hears her phone): Hold on! (Answers) Hello Mama! Alexandra (voice): How is Anastasia dear? Tatiana (smiles): Anastasia is fine Mama... this is the third time you've called and asked! Alexandra: I just want to make sure! How is everyone else? Tatiana: Hold on... (looks to everyone) she wants to know how everyone else is! Sam: I'm good! Olga: Couldn't be better! Maria: Everything's good here! Tatiana: Alright! (back to her phone) Everyone is fine here too Mama! Yes I'm good too as well before you even need to ask! Alexandra (voice): That's lovely to hear my dear! I will check in again later! Tatiana: Oh very well Mama! (hangs up) She says she'll check in again later! Anastasia: Why is she repeatedly doing that? Olga: Mama's just concerned Nastya... that's all! Tatiana: You don't question why I ask if you're okay! Anastasia: That's different Dr. Governess... you're the doctor and your supposed to ask questions like that! Olga: She has a point actually! Maria: Yeah she does! Sam: Well I don't know about any of you four but I'm going to go out and take a walk! Tatiana: I'll join you! Sam: That's nice... anyone else? Olga: No I'm going to get back to my book! Maria: That's not a surprise... hmm... I'll join too! Anastasia: I'm going to check on Paul! Sam: Sure thing!
As they're walking... Maria: It seems Anastasia's getting more comfortable with this now! Tatiana: Yeah... but I'm sure there will be some things she'll still have to get used to! Sam: I'd no doubt have to agree! Tatiana: Hey Mashka... I've been meaning to ask you something! Maria: What is it Dr. Malama? Tatiana: Haha... I still have a name you know and I believe it happens to be oh i don't know... Tatiana maybe! Maria: Okay let me rephrase it then... What is it Tatiana? Tatiana: I was wondering if you would like to volunteer at the center? Maria: Like Sam does? Sam: Yes like me... it will be just like the old days only in these days they aren't wounded soldiers! Tatiana: She's right! Don't you remember Maria... you and Nastya went around and visited the soldiers and kept their spirits up! They really liked that! Maria: Let's not forget we even were patrons of our own hospital! Tatiana: That's right you did! So what do you say? Maria: Can I think on it? Tatiana: Oh but of course you can! Olga (finds them): You've all got to come inside... there's a news bulletin! Sam: News? What's it about? Olga: I don't know something about a fireball or something and some young woman out in Siberia! Tatiana: Alright... we'll be right in!
Everyone watches the news even at Alexander Palace...
TBC... Alexandra keeps checking in of course! Will Maria volunteer at the center?Tsarskoe Selo...Alexandra: What is it, Nicky? Nicholas: A news bulletin. A fireball came out of the sky in Siberia. Alexandra: Like that one in 1908? Nicholas: No, that was a meteor. This one seems to be man made. Alexandra: really? Nicholas: Yes, they're going to update us when they get more information. Alexandra: I should call Anichkov Palace and tell them. Nicholas: Not to mention check on Anastasia again. Anichkov Palace, the news is on... Anchorman: This just in. The thing that crashed in Siberia seems to be man made, from the U.S. A single passenger, a young woman was in it. Anastasia: Sam's country? Anchorman: As of yet, few details are known. However, it appear to be not an airplane. We'll have more information when we get it. Tatiana's cell phone goes off. Tatiana: Yes? Okay, I'll be right there. Hangs up. Olga: What is it, Tanya? Tatiana: That young woman out of whatever crashed in Siberia is being brought to the Medical Center. I have to go in. Turns to Maria. Well, Mashka, you said you wanted to volunteer at the Center. Here's your chance. Maria: I'm right behind you. Both leave. Soon after, Alexandra calls.Anastasia: Hi Mama, before you ask, I'm fine. Alexandra: Oh the phone. You can't blame a mother for worrying. Anastasia: I'm fine, Mama. We're just watching the news. Something fell out of the sky in Siberia. They say a young woman was in it. Alexandra: Your father and I are watching the same newscast. Anastasia: The young woman has been taken to Tatiana's Medical Center. They just called her in. Alexandra: I wonder what this is all about? Anastasia: Your guess is as good as mine Mama. Tsarskoe Selo, Nicholas is on the phone with Kerensky..Kerensky: On the phone. Well, all I can tell you is that it's not an airplane. From the reports I have, we don't know WHAT it is? Nicholas: I heard it's from the United States. Kerensky: I heard that too. However, the American Ambassador says he knows nothing about this. Nicholas: The young woman they found in the thing has been taken to Tatiana's Medical Center. Kerensky: I know. I'll keep you posted to further reports when I get them. Nicholas: Same here. Medical Center, Tatiana and Maria arrive and are met by a nurse.. Nurse: Dr. Malama, that young woman is being prepped for surgery. They say she has internal injuries. Tatiana: I'll be right in. Turns to Maria. Mashka, I have to go. Maria: Of course, Dr. Governess. I'll be fine. Tatiana: Good. Gestures to nurse. Irina here will show you around. Heads off to get ready for surgery.Irina: So, you're Dr. Malama's sister. Maria: Yes, I'm Maria. Nice to meet you, Irina. I'm volunteering here. Irina: That's good, our patients love it when people come and talk to them. Come, I'll show you around.

Sam: I'm going to Siberia to investigate! Anastasia: Investigate? Oooh sounds like something out of mystery novel! Sam: Ha, ha! Olga: Can we join you... I'm rather curious! Sam (sighs): I suppose so but be careful! (they pop over) Here we are! Kerensky: Sam? What are you doing here? Sam: Let's just say I'm investigating! Don't tell I'm not going to either! Take me to the object! Kerensky: Right this way! (takes her to the shuttle) We have no clue what it is and since your from the future maybe you could fill us in! Sam: Thanks for saying that right out in the open Kerensky! Kerensky: My apologies... it slipped! Sam: I figured! (looks around) It's a space shuttle! How it got here is beyond me... people aren't even flying into space yet... that comes way later! Kerensky: Man will travel though space? Sam: Later... much later! (goes in and sees the calendar) 2071... That's farther into the future than my time! (sees an id tag) Hey we have a name... (looks closer) Kathryn Munro! Anastasia (peeks in): Can we come in? Sam: Sure why not... just don't press any buttons or anything! Olga (enters and looks around): Now H.G Welles and Jules Verne would be proud! Sam: Yeah I bet they would be! So would Sir Arthur Conan Doyle I bet! Olga: Oh yeah! Sam (gestures for the two to follow her out): Kerensky, keep this shuttle safe! Kerensky: If you know what's best that I'll have to agree! We will make sure nothing happens to it! Sam: You better make sure! (gathers the two a ways away and snaps her fingers back to Anichkov Palace) One of you call the center and ask for Tatiana... tell her the woman's name! Olga: I'll do it!
Olga's on the phone... Receptionist: Tatiana Malama Medical Center how can we assist you? Olga: It's Olga, her sister! Can I speak with her? Receptionist: She in the middle of performing a surgery right now! Olga: I'll hold then! Receptionist: Very well... if you insist! Olga (as she's put on hold she's hears some nice calming music): Yes I insist! (listens to the "on hold" music) Nice choice of music Tatiana!
Meanwhile in surgery... Tatiana: Hand me that scalpel again please? These injuries may be internal but they aren't too severe luckily! I believe say God was on her side! Nurse: You're right Dr. Malama! Tatiana: There we go... now nurse if you would kindly stitch her up please? Nurse: Yes Dr. Malama! Receptionist (over P.A system): Dr. Tatiana Malama, phone call on line 2... Dr. Tatiana Malama, phone call on line 2! Tatiana: I'll be right there! (goes out) I'm right here! (receives phone) Dr. Tatiana Malama speaking, how can I assist you? Olga: You can assist me by letting me tell you we found out her name! Tatiana: Oh Olga it's you! What is it then? Olga: Kathyrn Munro! Sam says something about a space shuttle or whatever! Tatiana: Thank you for the information Olga! She has some internal injuries but she'll luckily survive! She may be here for a couple of months! Olga: Alright I'll let everyone know! How's Maria? Tatiana: From what i heard as i came to answer the phone... it's brings back some nice old memories of the old war hospitals she and Nastya use to visit! She's having a nice time! Olga: Good to hear! Tatiana (beeper goes off): I'm needed in another surgery so I have to go! By the way, she's resting right now! Olga: Good to hear now go! (she hangs up) Well that was quite a conversation!
TBC... Now that's an inside look at Tatiana doing her job!
Anichkov Palace, dinner time, Tatiana and Maria are home. Sam is upstairs, sleeping.
Olga: So, how's our visitor from the future? Tatiana: Fine, she did have internal injuries, but luckily it wasn't anything I couldn't fix. Anastasia: Sam took us to Siberia, where her ship crashed. That's how we found out her name, Kathryn Munro. Apparently, she's a Major in the U.S. Air Force. Dimitri C-B: A woman Major!? You mean they're gonna let women serve in the military someday. No way! Laughs. Olga: And just why not, Dimitri? Stares dagger eyes at him. Are you saying a woman can't serve in the military because of her sex? Tatiana: They once said women couldn't be doctors, yet here I am. Dimitri C-B: Looks like he just wandered into a mine field. Uh, guys, can you back me up here? Dimitri M: Sorry dude, you're on your own. Anastasia: So, if a woman can be a doctor, why can't she serve her country? Dimitri C-B: Well, it's just.... I mean.... Boy that steak looks good. Begins eating. Olga: I'm surprised you can eat that. Anastasia: yeah, doesn't that foot you have in your mouth get in the way. OTMA laugh while poor Dimitri C-B goes beet red. Maria: So one day humans will go into space. Cool. Olga: Yeah, looks like H.G. Wells and Jules Verne were decades ahead of their time. Maria: Yeah, I think they did. Still, I wonder how did Kathryn Munro get here? Tatiana: Before she went into surgery, she was mumbling something about a magnetic storm, whatever that is, and her instruments malfunctioning. Anastasia: I'd love to talk to her. Tatiana: Well, Nastya, you'll have to wait. Right now she's much too weak for that. Maria: Yeah, I peeked in on her. Olga: Speaking of which, Mashka, how was your first day volunteering. Maria: I loved it. Thanks, Tanya, for letting me do it. Anastasia: I'd like to do it as well. Tatiana: Well, Nastya, once you get established in your new health regime, we'll discuss it. Anastasia: Thanks.
At that point, Sam enters the room..

Dmitri C-B: She's awake! Sam: Yeah and your point "Mr. Women can't serve in the military"? Apparently I have a lot to teach you on what us women CAN do! Dmitri C-B: Next thing you know she's going to say she can fight and knock me on my back! Sam: Want to try me there boy? Dmitri C-B: I wouldn't want to hurt you... you're a girl! Sam: So that means the big tough soldier is scared then... I kinda figured! Dmitri C-B (pushes him as he gets up): What was that for? Sam: Just what are you going to do about it? Dmitri C-B: You... (looks to the others) but she's... Olga: We four saw her fight in Greece... she's pretty handy with a sword too! Oh, I would love to see Sam knock you down! Maria: Yeah maybe it will help to dislodge that foot from your mouth! Sam: So sorry Olga that you just happened to marry a coward who can't fight back if his life depended on it! Dmitri C-B: You just want me knock on your butt don't you Sam? Sam: You'll be on the floor first! Dmitri C-B: Alright if women want to act like men then maybe they should be treated accordingly! (takes a swing at her face, she blocks and decks him first) Ow... holy saints... you... damn! Sam: Want to try me again? (Dmitri goes for her and sure enough she flips him over her shoulder and puts a foot to his throat) Told you, you would be on the floor first! Dmitri C-B (looks to the guys): A little help here please? Dmitri M: Nope... you asked for it and look you got it! Dmitri C-B (as he gets up): How did you know that i said all that stuff anyhow!? Olga: She's a vampire remember... that super hearing she has? Dmitri C-B: Oh right... yeah! (massages his jaw) Damn girl you have a mean upper cut! Sam: Sorry Dmitri sometimes i just don't know my own strength! (Looks at it) Don't worry I didn't break your jaw... any harder of a swing and i would have though! Tatiana: Shall i take him to the infirmary? Sam: Oh no he'll be fine... trust me! Tatiana: By the way... before Ms. Munro went into surgery she mumbled something about a magnetic storm and that her instruments were malfunctioning! Sam: And she's from America! (gasps) It couldn't be! Maria: What... what is it? Sam: There's a place outside of America in a country called Bermuda... there is a certain area they call the Bermuda Triangle! It's believed to be some kinda oh i don't supernatural portal or something! Weird things have happened to those that run through it! It's possible she was on a mission and ended up going through the triangle and she ended up here! Maria: Whoa! Sam: Yeah... whoa is right! (Olga runs off) Where is she off to? Tatiana: No clue! Sam: How's your jaw Dmitri? Dmitri C-B (just looks at her): Shut up! Sam (smiles): Never! Tatiana: I'm going to go and find out what Olga is up to! Sam: Okay then!
Library... Tatiana (finds Olga): I thought I'd find you here! Olga: Can't talk... busy! Tatiana (laughs): With what? Olga: Research! Tatiana: What kind of research? Olga: Here it is! Tatiana look at this! Tatiana: The Bermuda Triangle! Olga (goes on to explain): It says that the Bermuda Triangle...
TBC... Olga's line continues from there as she explains the Triangle! It's possible by the sounds of it that, that is what happened to Kathryn Munro and boy won't she be shocked to find she's in Russia IN 1925! Ha, ha Dmitri C-B got his butt kicked by a woman... I'm sure the guys are going to love making fun of him aren't they?
Olga: It says that the Bermuda Triangle has been responsible for the disappearance of ships going back hundreds of years. The sea is calm, no problem, and then POOF, gone. The most recent is the U.S.S Cyclops, it was an American ship that vanished in 1918, only seven years ago. Tatiana: Maybe it was sunk. The U.S. was in the war at that point. Olga: Yes, but there were no German U-Boats operating in the area at the time. Also, if the ship had been torpedoed, wouldn't there have been debris? Tatiana: I guess so. Still, you think that the Bermuda Triangle is connected to all this? Olga: That is something Kathryn Munro can tell us, when she wakes up. Tatiana: Well, I will talk to her. However, I'll want to take it slowly. Can you imagine telling someone their more than a century in the past, they'd freak. Someone who is not magical, that is.
Meanwhile...
Dimitri M: Hey, dude, how does it feel to get your butt kicked by a woman. Ivan K: yeah, that was hilarious. Ivan S: Yeah, Sam sure cleaned your clock! Dimitri C-B: Okay, get it over with, so we can all move on. Dimitri M: Get it over with, oh no, this is something to be savoured for days. Ivan S: Weeks even. Ivan K: Too bad we didn't any video, we could put it on YouTube for all to see. Dimitri C-B: Come on, guys, give me a break. Ivan S: Free piece of advice dude, don't mess with Sam!
Later, at the Medical Center, Tatiana visits Kathryn Munro..
Tatiana: How are you feeling? Kathryn: Fine. Tatiana: That's good to hear, Ms. Munro. I was the doctor that performed the surgery on you. Kathryn, or Kole: Actually, call me Kole. Tatiana: Huh? Kole: It's a condensation of my full name Kathryn Octavia Lenore. Tatiana: Kole it is then. I'm Dr. Tatiana Malama. Kole: Tatiana? That's a Russian name, isn't' it. Tatiana: It is, because you happen to be in Russia. Kole: WHAT!? I knew I was off course, but not THAT off course! How the hell did I end up in Russia!? Tatiana: Can you tell me what happened? Kole: Sure. I had just finished a rotation on the Romanov Moon Base and was returning to Earth. Tatiana: The Romanov Moon Base? Kole: Yeah, they helped fund its building, so it was named after them. Anyway, I was on my way back to Earth. Everything was normal, I was making my approach to land in Florida, I had just passed Bermuda, when everything went SNAFU. Tatiana: SNAFU? Kole: Stand for Situation Normal, All Fouled Up. Anyway, I seemed to enter some kind of magnetic storm, it fouled up my instruments. I had no idea where I was going, my radio was knocked out. I started picking up speed. Next thing I know, I woke up here. Tatiana: I see. Kole: Listen, can I use a phone. I need to call my fiance and tell him I'm okay. Tatiana: Uh, yeah, I'll see what I can arrange. Right now, you need more rest. Sedates her. Oh this is going to be hard...
BTW: The U.S.S. Cyclops really did vanish in 1918.

Dmitri (sees Sam reading): Maybe if i knock her on her back in return... they'll let it go! Sam (gotta love vampire's super hearing): Something you want to say to me Dmitri? Dmitri (comes out of hiding): How did you know... never mind! Sam: Oh is your ego still bruised? Dmitri C-B: Well it don't help when the other guys keeps going on about it! I'll return the favor soon just you wait and see! Sam: Right! Dmitri C-B: I plan to get my ego back! Sam: You'll only make it worse if you try anything on me again! Dmitri C-B: We'll see! (starts going away) We'll see! Sam: Yeah... we'll see alright!
As he's walking... Dmitri M: Sam didn't have to knock some sense into you again did she? Dmitri C-B: Shut up already! Dmitri M: Never! Although I'd look out for Ivan if I were you! Dmitri C-B: Which one? Dmitri M: Maria's Ivan! Dmitri C-B: What is that show off planning now? Dmitri M: Let's just say you don't want to know! Dmitri C-B: two words... shut and up! Dmitri M: Not and happening! (mumbles) Let's just say he wants to videotape you screwing up again and have Nastya post it on youtube! Dmitri C-B: What was that Malama? Dmitri M: Let's just say he's up to something and you really don't wanna know! Dmitri C-B: Something tells me that's not what you said! Dmitri (as he walks off): Oh that's cause it wasn't!
Library... Olga (Tatiana enters): So how did she take the news? Tatiana: She's totally shocked but i think you and Sam are right though! Olga: Really? Tatiana: Yeah she said she was on her way to landing in Florida but when she passed by Bermuda... everything went well the way it is now! Olga: Oh yeah... that sounds like the Bermuda Triangle alright! Tatiana: She's sedated right now... she wants to call her fiance! I haven't told her yet the year is 1925 though! Olga: Oh that will really shock her then! Tatiana: You think?
Meanwhile someone just doesn't learn... Dmitri C-B: Bruise my ego will you? (all of a sudden he pushes her) Surprise? Sam (puts her book down): You don't want to start with me again! Dmitri C-B: Well it is a man's world isn't it... well at least it was! Sam (He lunges at her): Dmitri don't be stupid! Forgive me! (she decks him again) Never underestimate a girl Dmitri! Dmitri? Dmitri!? Oh my god! TATIANA I NEED YOU OUT ON THE BALCONY! Tatiana (rushes in): What happened? Sam: Look down! Tatiana: Dmitri! Sam: He tried to unbruise his ego... i think he just made it worse actually! Tatiana: Let's get him to the infirmary! Sam: I second that!
Infirmary... Tatiana (Dmitri starts waking): Dmitri? (he just looks at her) Are you alright? (Dmitri shrugs) I'm going to examine you! Sam is outside if you're wondering! (she examines him and gets to his jaw) Oh dear! (Dmitri looks alarmed kind of like "What!?") I don't think she really knew her own strength this time! (Dmitri still has the "What!?" expression) Dmitri your jaw is broken! (Dmitri looks like he could yell) I'm afraid there's only one thing to do! I'm going to have to wire your jaw shut for a couple weeks... but given a couple hours the Novocaine should wear off and you'll kind of be able to talk except it will still be kind of hard to understand you because it will seem as if you're mumbling! Dmitri (trying to speak): When I get my hands on her! Tatiana: Don't speak... you'll only make it worse! I'm putting you under! Sam (Tatiana comes out a little later): Is he okay!? Tatiana: You overdid your strength this time I'm afraid! Sam: Oh no... he's not... is he? Tatiana: Yes, Dmitri's jaw is broken! Sam: Oh damn! That means his jaw will have to... Tatiana: Be wired shut for a couple weeks? Yes... been there and done that! I'd stay away from him for at least a day or two if i were you! Sam: He's mad at me isn't he! Tatiana: Oh yeah! Olga (rushes in): I heard someone was rushed here to the infirmary! Who was it? Sam: It's all my fault... he shouldn't have lunged at me though! Tatiana: You may want to go in and Olga... i think he may want to let Sam have it right now! Olga: He? Oh no! Tatiana: Oh yes! Olga: Wait... he lunged at you? Tatiana: Yeah apparently he was trying to unbruise his ego! Olga: He really won't hear the end of it now! Once again my husband has jammed his foot in his mouth! Sam: Well he can't now technically since it's wired shut for a couple weeks! (Olga looks at her) Sorry! Olga: Excuse me... I'm going to go in and have some choice words with my husband! Tatiana: Go right ahead! Olga (goes in): Dmitri! (he look up at her, she gibbes him getting a "what was that for!?' expression in return) What was that all about? (He shrugs his shoulders) Don't mess with Sam! Tatiana (pokes her head in before she exits): Olga he won't be able to talk for a while but give or take at least five or six hours he will be able to but it will sound mumbled and it will be hard to understand! Olga: Oh great! That means I talk and he can't do nothing but listen... I'd love to see him get all defensive now! Tatiana: Exactly! I'm returning to the Medical Center... just to check on Kole! (Olga looks at her) Mrs. Munro! Olga: Okay good to know! (Tatiana exits) Oh Dmitri...
TBC... Dmitri has really got what's coming to him now hasn't he? Oh the guys won't let him forget any of it now for sure! Too bad Ivan S missed this opportunity and didn't get it on tape!
Olga: Oh Dimitri, there you are. Dimitri can't speak. Olga: I'll do the talking. Oh Dimitri, what am I going to do with you. Don't you realize that you should NOT mess with Sam. Also, this chauvinism is so unlike you. You have no problem with Tatiana being a doctor, why is Ms. Munro being in the U.S. Air Force such a big deal. Dimitri grabs his cell phone and texts a message. Olga: Reads it. Ah, so you see the military as a mans thing, do you. Dimitri texts yes. Olga: Well, I'm afraid that's going to change. Dimitri texts about the war, and how women could not fight in it. Olga: That's now, Dimitri. We're talking more than a century from now. Things will have changed. It's not just a mans world anymore. At that point, the two Ivan's and Dimitri M enter. Dimitri M: Dude, she did it again. Ivan S: Dang, and I missed it. Dimitri C-B texts again. Two words: SHUT UP!
Later, at the Medical Center...
Nurse: Dr. Malama, that new patient is asking for you. Tatiana: I'll go in. Goes to Kole's room. How are you feeling? Kole: Fine, but... Tatiana: Go on. Kole: Dr. Malama, why is it that everytime I ask to phone or e-mail my fiance, no one will give me a straight answer? Tatiana: Well, let me ask you a question. Who is on the throne of Russia? Kole: Puzzled. Tsarina Tatiana. I don't see how this has anything... Tatiana: Smiles. Named after me, I wonder. Kole: Named after you? What the hell are you talking about!? Tatiana: You said that your instruments went crazy after you passed Bermuda, if I recall. Kole: Yes, that's true. Oh surely you don't think the Bermuda Triangle is responsible. That's just a silly old myth! Tatiana: I don't think so. It's real, you passed through it. Kole: What are you talking about? Tatiana: My full name is Tatiana Nicholaievna Malama, I'm the daughter of Tsar Nicholas II. Kole: You're nuts! They lived over a hundred years ago! Tatiana: Yes, that's true. You see, this is 1925. You went through the Bermuda Triangle and ended up here, one hundred and forty-six years in your past. Kole faints. Tatiana: I was afraid she'd do that.

Ivan S: So how's your jaw? Dmitri C-B (texts): How's your jaw going to be in the next few minutes you keep it up!? Ivan S: Yeah but remember Tatiana's put you on bedrest for a bit! So Sam broke your jaw... wow and I thought Maria was strong! Dmitri C-B (texts): SHUT UP! Ivan S: I'll see you later! Dmitri (texts): THIS BITES! Ivan S: I wouldn't know about that... I'm not the vampire around here! Dmitri C-B (texts): SHUT UP! JUST SHUT UP! Ivan S (to be funny he texts back): NO! JUST PLAIN NO! (speaks) Okay I'm going now! Dmitri C-B (texts): GOOD! Ivan S (pokes his head in): I still can't believe I missed it with my new video camera! (Dmitri hurls a tray at him making him duck) Whoa! (voice from behind the wall near the door) I'm going now! Dmitri C-B (looks to Olga and texts): What!? Olga: You really just went and done it this time! I'm going to go and see how Tatiana... (Tatiana enters and slips) TATIANA! Tatiana (sitting on the floor rubbing her head): How did that tray get there? Olga: Ivan, Maria's Ivan was rubbing it in and Dmitri threw the tray at him! Tatiana: Well thanks for not picking it up! Olga: Well sorry but i wasn't expecting to run into you just yet! I'm going to see how Sam is! Tatiana: By the way I told her it was 1925 AND it turns out that in 2071 Tsarina Tatiana will be on the throne... apparently I'll someone named after me! Olga: Well isn't that nice... considering you'll make a great empress one day anyhow! Tatiana: Olga don't start that again! Olga: I'm going to find Sam now! Tatiana: Olga! (Olga exits) It's not my place to rule why doesn't she get that through her head? Dmitri C-B (texts Tatiana): Because it's Olga... need anyone say more? Tatiana: Okay true!
Olga finds Sam coming down the stairs... Olga: There you are! Sam: Olga... about Dmitri... I'm sorry I... Olga: Broke his jaw? Oh don't be... i think this was just a lesson just waiting to have to be learned! Sam: I actually have to agree! I hear Maria's Ivan is disappointed he didn't get to capture it for youtube! Olga: Oh I would so have watched had he the chance! Sam: Same here probably! (knows she has a video camera nearby) Speaking of... hi Ivan! Ivan S: Hey... just getting some experience with video cameras and all here! Sam: First time i take it? Ivan S: Oh yeah! The only thing that sucks... no sound! Olga: It should have sound Ivan! This is 1925 remember? Ivan S: Oh yeah! Hey Olga wave to the camera! Olga (waves and laughs): There... happy now are we? Ivan S: Very! (he focuses on the stairs and look someone's coming down them) Here we have my darling, angelic and absolutely, positively, (she's smiling with her arms folded) more than words can say, extremely beautiful wife Maria! She's probably on her way to the kitchen to eat again! Maria (staring right at the camera): I was about to say... if you put one more mushy phrase in there I'd have to interrupt! Yes I'm on my way to the kitchen obviously (Ivan follows, she turns and puts a hand against the lens blackening it out) and no you aren't following me just so you can get more experience with your new camera! Focus on someone else for a bit! Ivan S: I'm sure I could find someone! (focuses back to Olga and Sam) Now back to you two lovely ladies! Sam: I wouldn't record Dmitri just yet unless you want that thing destroyed by the way! Ivan S: Don't worry... I'm not going to let anything happen to this thing! Olga: That's good to hear! While I'm on my way to the library again... (looks at Ivan) don't even think of it! Ivan S (stops his recording and turns off his camera): Okay, okay! I'm going to check on the kids anyhow! Olga: Yeah... good... go ahead then! Ivan S: Hey how does "A Day in the Life of Dr. Tatiana Nikolaievna Malama" sound... it will record a day of her working at the center! Hey I could make a documentary on all of you! Sam (laughs): That would be interesting! Ivan S: Yeah interviews, and just regular home vids in between... how does that sound? Sam: Interesting... but you may want to ask everyone first! Besides that first documentary... what would you title this one Ivan? Ivan S: I don't know actually! Hey maybe something like... hmmm... "Times Spent at Anichkov Palace"! How's that for a title! Sam: I guess so! I don't mind... I'll be the first to say it! But wait until Dmitri's better and less angry alright? Ivan S: Oh yeah I'll wait! (sees Tatiana) Hey Tatiana I need to ask you something! Tatiana: Sure what is it? Ivan S: I was thinking of a documentary or two... you know really get experience with this camera! Tatiana: And? Ivan S: The first one I want to call "A Day in the Life of Dr. Tatiana Nikolaievna Malama"... focusing on the great doctor herself that is you i mean and her daily routine at working at the center, being home and such! It would be like a week maybe two! I hope you'll be okay with that? Tatiana (laughs): I suppose I could... but let me ask my staff and patients! I'm sure they'd all agree though! But no you won't tape any surgeries... you can be outside the door though! What's your other one? Ivan S: "Times Spent at Anichkov Palace"... unless i get another title or something! This features all of you... not just you! Interviews and stuff! Know what i mean? Tatiana: If you want my consent... the answer is yes! Ivan S: Sweet! As you were!
TBC... well if this were a real show then I know what the season 7 DVD would have in its special features... Ivan's two documentaries! Everyone says yes (including Nicky and Alix if they visit)... even Dmitri C-B after he's cooled off as long as there's no jokes about what happened with Sam! Even the center doesn't mind!
Later, Tatiana visits Kole again, and Maria comes along.
Tatiana: Kole, this is my sister, Maria. Kole: Pleased to meet you, Maria. Maria: Likewise. So you're the lady from the future. Kole: Yeah, I guess I am. Listen, Dr. Malama, sorry for passing out like that. I always thought I was the kind of girl that never fainted. Tatiana: Begins to examine Kole. Understandable, considering the circumstances. Kole: I mean I heard the stories about the Bermuda Triangle, but I never believed them. I thought it was just some old legend. Now here I am, nearly a century and a half in the past.... Tatiana: I know. Finishes her examination. You're fine, Kole, you're healing well. Kole: That's good to know, I guess. Tatiana: I have to do my rounds now. However, I brought Maria here to talk to you. She's volunteering here and talking to patients is what she does best. Kole: That sounds nice. Tatiana: I'll leave you both to it then. Mashka, I'll be back after I've finished my rounds. Leaves. Kole: So, Maria, you're the fourth daughter? Maria: Third actually, my younger Anastasia is the fourth. The oldest is Olga, and the second daughter is Tatiana, whom you know. Kole: Yeah, well my Russian history was always a bit rusty. Rick always said I passed the class by the skin of my knees. Maria: Rick? Kole: Rick Baker, my fiance. We met in senior year and dated all through college. We were going to get married when my tour of duty on the Moon ended. We'd booked the church, the band, the catering. Both our families sunk a considerable fortune into this. Laughs bitterly. I guess the wedding's off! Maria: Kole... Kole: Continues I mean Rick understood the risks I would be taking when I told him I was joining the Air Force. He always knew that something could happen to me, but, God, we never imagined THIS could happen. He probably thinks I'm dead! Maria: Sees that Kole is upset and changes the subject. You like to fly? Kole: Oh yeah, I love it. My dad owns a charter airplane business, and I usually went along. When I got older, I'd work there on summer breaks. When I was old enough, I couldn't get my pilot's license fast enough. The Air Force just seemed the next logical step. Maria: Then you went into space. I've only read about that in books. Kole: Let me guess, H.G. Wells and Jules Verne? Maria: That's right. Olga, my sister I mentioned, has their books in her library. Kole: I loved them when I was little, I read every book of they wrote. Then I read books by later authors, Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury, Arthur C. Clarke... And you have no idea who I'm talking about. Maria: I'm afraid not. Kole: Yeah, I just realized that all those men are just kids now. They won't start writing their books for another twenty years or so. If they could see me now! Maria: Listen, Kole, I want to help you any way that I can. Kole: Thanks, you're really good at this, Maria. Maria: My sister, Anastasia and I went and talked to wounded soldiers in the last war. Kole: You mean World War I? That is what we call it in my time, because... Maria: It's okay, we know that there will be another war with Germany in about fifteen years or so. Kole: You know? How? Maria: It's a long story. Listen, Kole, when Tatiana discharges you from here, you can come live with us at Anichkov Palace. Kole: I can? I don't want to put anyone out. Maria: Oh we have plenty of room. Besides, like I said, we want to help you, Kole. Kole: Well.... thanks. Maria: I'll run it past my sisters. I'm sure they won't mind. Soon Tatiana comes back in, and Kole goes to sleep. The two sisters head out into the hall. Maria: Listen, Tatiana...

Post by Tim on Aug 18, 2016 18:22:42 GMT -5
Maria: Listen, Tatiana... I was thinking that when Kole is discharged that maybe she could move into the palace and stay with us since she has nowhere to go! Is that okay? Tatiana: That's a wonderful idea... i wouldn't doubt the others would agree! Maria: Splendid! We'll ask the others when we get home! So... has Ivan told you about him wanting to do a Tatiana centered documentary yet? Tatiana (laughs): Oh yes... he told me alright! Maria: Are you okay with it though? Tatiana: I'm okay with it... oh and thanks for reminding me about it! I totally forgot to ask the staff and patients if they're okay with possibly being filmed! Maria: You're quite welcome... i guess it's a good thing I brought it up! Here's an idea... you ask the staff and I'll ask the patients! Tatiana: That a great idea Mashka... go on ahead!
Anichkov Palace... Olga: How are you feeling today Dmitri? Dmitri C-B (sounds like he gritting his teeth and mumbling): How am I feel...ing? I'm... in... pain! Olga: What? Dmitri C-B (sighs and sends her a text): How am I feeling? I'm in pain! Olga: Oh! Don't worry soon this all be over! Anastasia: Hey maybe you could learn to be a ventriloquist while your at it... they're mouths are suppose to be shut anyhow! Dmitri C-B (looks to Olga then to Anastasia): Come... closer... imp! Anastasia: No... I think I'll stay right here! In fact I'm going to go... uh bye! Olga (the imp bolts out the door, Olga laughs): She's right though... maybe we could understand you better! Dmitri C-B: Shut... up! Olga: Never... see I understood you that time! Dmitri C-B: You're... not... hel-ping! Olga: I have song for you that Sam had me listen to! Hold on... Malama! Dmitri M (guitar in hand): I can't believe I'm doing this... and buddy forgive me! Dmitri C-B (texts both of them): Why do i have a feeling I'm not going to like this? Olga: You probably aren't! Hit it Malama!
If You Want a Mother - Gretchen Wilson You want me to bring you home the bacon Fry it up and serve it to you too When I don't you ask so god forsaken Like somehow I've been mistreating you Well I know that's the way your Mama did it She waited on you dang near all your life (Dmitri wants to interrupt, she holds a hand up to silence him) It took a while But now I finally get it You were never looking for a wife
-CHORUS- If you want a mother I can be one That ain't all that difficult for me We can do it your way from now on son And I'll show you what a mother I can be
Remember Tuesday night while you're out bowling You better have your butt back home by nine Otherwise you're grounded for the weekend And that brand new Ferrari will be mine (the original car is Silverado, but Olga replaced it with the car they drove in season 5's jaunt scene) In the evening when you're feeling sleepy Well I'll tuck in you in and pat you on your head (She pats him on the head and he bats her hand away, she points to the door) And I'll be right down the hall if you should need me Big boys have to sleep in their own bed (Malama's trying so hard not to laugh)
-CHORUS- If you want a mother I can be one That ain't all that difficult for me We can do it your way from now on son And I'll show you what a mother I can be! (Olga [to Dmitri]: Play it Dmitri! [Malama has a nice little solo] Thanks)
-CHORUS- If you want a mother I can be one That ain't all that difficult for me We can do it your way from now on son And I'll show you what a mother I can be
You can go back to Mama's apron strings Bet your Ma would be a mother just like me
Olga: How's that for something? Dmitri C-B (to Malama): You... out! Dmitri M (laughs): I can take a hint! Dmitri C-B: Was that... really necessary? Olga: Didn't catch the last word! Dmitri (texts her): Necessary! Olga: Very much! Now get some rest... Dr. Malama's orders! Dmitri C-B: Yeah, yeah yeah!
Medical Center, the two meet back up... Maria: Okay, the patients are okay with it! Tatiana: Same with the staff! In fact some of them found it to be funny! Maria: So like next week maybe? Tatiana: Yeah perhaps! Maria: Cool! Ivan will be excited! Tatiana (smiles): I no doubt he will be! Oh and did you tell Kole she could stay with us? Maria: Yes and she's happy! Tatiana: Our work here is done... let's go home! Maria: Yeah let's go!
TBC... Seriously i listened to this song last night and started cracking up thinking of Dmitri C-B being "Mr. Ego" and Olga wanting to tell him how it is... so i couldn't resist!
The next morning, at breakfast...
Dimitri C-B: texts. I wish I could eat some solid food. Dimitri M: Well, once your jaw is fixed, you can. Ivan S: That is unless Sam cleans your clock again. Ivan K: Yeah They all laugh. Dimitri C-B: Keep it up, you guys, just keep it up. Dimitri M: Oh we will! Maria clears her throat. Olga: What is it, Mashka? Maria: I invited Kole to come live here with us, once Tatiana discharges her. She has no where else to go in this time. I hope no one minds. Anastasia: I don't mind. Another person from the future living with us. Cool. Tatiana: I've already given my okay. Dimitri M: We already have one person from the future living her, why not two. Everyone else agrees. Maria: Do you think Sam will be okay with it? Anastasia: I don't see why not. I'll go ask her? Goes off to find Sam. Olga: Now Dimitri, when she comes, try to keep that foot out of your mouth. Dimitri C-B: texts. Ha, ha, very funny!

Sam: Yes I'm okay with it! Anastasia: You used that super hearing didn't you? Sam: No actually I was just about to come into the room! Anastasia: This will be so cool! Sam: How's Dmitri? Anastasia: I think he's still slightly angry at you... oh and the guys are messing with him nonstop! Sam: Oh I kind of figured they would! (enters kitchen) How long until she's released Tatiana? Tatiana: She's healing rather nicely... I'm thinking by the end of the month at the latest! Sam: That's nice... hopefully I'll be here when she comes? Maria: You're leaving us? Sam: Just for Christmas but I'll be back afterwards! Maria: Oh well that's nice to know! Sam (smiles at Dmitri C-B): Hi Dmitri! Dmitri C-B (just stares at her): You... you... Sam: You had it coming Dmitri! So Tatiana? Tatiana: So Sam? Sam: Cute! Have you asked your center about Ivan's first documentary? Tatiana: Yes! Both the staff and the patients are okay with it! Sam: Nice! By the way Ivan, when do you even want to start? Ivan S: I'm thinking next week... maybe the week after! Tatiana: Sounds nice! So tell me about this space shuttle thing! Sam (smiles): I'll do better than that! Come on! Maria: Where are we going? Sam: Down to the basement! Olga: Why? Sam: Because (she unveils it) I had Kerensky and his men bring it here for safe keeping! That and it's best to keep it out of the public eye too! Tatiana: That's very true! (starts circling it) Amazing!
Later, OTMA are sitting in the space shuttle...
Anastasia: A ship from the future right here in our palace. Reaches for a button. Tatiana: Careful Nastya, we don't know what these controls do, after all. Anastasia: Uh, yeah, right. Maria: Hey, look at this. Holds up a picture of Kole with a young man. That must be Rick, her fiance. She mentioned him to me the other day. Olga: What did she say? Maria: She said that he must think that she's dead. They were going to get married when she got back from the Moon. Anastasia: That means she was on her way to get married when the Bermuda Triangle got her. Maria: Yeah, I know. Tatiana: Well, she's coming along nicely. Olga: That's good to know. Anastasia: How's Olga's Dimitri? Tatiana: He's healing nicely too. Olga: I guess he'll think twice before taking on Sam again. Maria: You're taking this well, Olga. Olga: Well, Dimitri did get a big head that day. He needed to be taken down a few pegs. Ivan S comes in with his camera. Ivan S: there you all are. Begins filming. My beautiful wife and her sisters in a ship from a distant place and time, and so our story takes another turn. Maria: Ivan, you're being silly! Ivan S: Ah, I'm an artist at work! Anastasia: So, shall we all pose for you? Ivan S: Well...
At that point, Nicholas and Alexandra arrive.
Nicholas: They told us you were down here? Alexandra: Is this Ms. Munro's ship? Tatiana: It is. Sam asked Kerensky to have it sent her for safekeeping. Nicholas: A wise move on her part. Alexandra: Olga, what happened to your Dimitri? His jaw is wired! Olga: Well, Mama....
Olga: He had to let his "it's still a man's world" ego get in the way! He was at first all about how women couldn't served in the military and Sam told him she had a lot to teach him! He then remarked on how she wouldn't be able to knock him on his back... Maria: So she told him to try her so she could prove him wrong! She didn't break his jaw the first time though! Anastasia: That was hysterical though how she flipped him over her shoulder! Olga: It was extremely hysterical! Tatiana: Apparently the next time however he lunged at her trying to unbruise his ego and she decked him again... only this time she must have not focused on how strong she hit him and she ended up breaking his jaw! Alexandra: Oh my... is he alright? Olga: Oh he's fine! Ivan S (filming everyone): Yeah too bad i missed it! Maria: That would have been a sight to see! Tatiana: Come and sit with us! Nicholas (him and Alix look at each other): Very well! Ivan S (turns his camera): Look here's the man with the broken jaw! Dmitri C-B (speaks slowly): Unless you want me to break that camera... i suggest you watch what you say! Ivan S: What? Sam (senses what he said): He told you that unless you want him to break that camera... that he suggests that you watch what you say! Ivan S: Oh well so sorry! Tatiana: I'm soon going to have documentary made about me! Alexandra: By who? (Tatiana points to Ivan who waves from behind the camera) Oh... why? Tatiana: Experience i guess! He wants to do a second one after of all of us! Ivan S: Including you two if you visit if that's okay? Nicholas: I don't mind! Alix? Alexandra: I think I could consent to it of course! Ivan S: SWEET! (Sam laughs) What? Sam: Sorry... you sound like a friend of mine named Max! That's like his key phrase... just as "fuss" is the imp's key phrase! Anastasia: Cool! Nicholas: How is Mrs. Munro? Tatiana: She's healing very nicely! Quicker than i expected too! I'd no doubt can see that her and Mashka have become friends! Olga: Wait until she meets the rest of us! Anastasia: Don't worry I won't cause any pranks on her! Tatiana: You better not! (looks at watch) I have a night shift tonight... so I'll see you all tomorrow morning although by then you'll all still be sleeping! Alexandra: What time do you work dear? Tatiana: Eight to seven in the morning... about ten hours! But I have to go... I don't want to be late to my own center! Maria: Yeah that would be bad! Tatiana: Are you coming again tomorrow Mashka? Maria: You bet I'll be there! Tatiana: Alright... just making sure!
However driving on her way to the center... Tatiana (a car comes swerving across): Oh my god! Oh no... oh no! (she screams and covers her head as the Sports car ends up in a head on collision with a drunk driver)
TBC... Tatiana's been in an accident and the next you know she's on oxygen in her own ICU! She'll be okay... right?
Anichkov Palace, the phone is ringing. Dimitri M picks it up.
Dimitri M: Hello? Voice: Mr. Malama, this is Irina, I'm a nurse at the Medical Center. Dimitri M: Yes, does Tatiana want to speak to me. Irina: Sound upset. No, she.... She was coming to work and her car was hit by a drunk driver. She's....she's in ICU. Dimitri M: Oh my God...
