The group was on their way to Sophie's house and Dimitri was giving the sisters a last minute quiz.

"Where is uncle Boris from?"

"What if Sophie doesn't recognize us?" (Y/N) asked, ignoring the question.

"She will. You're (Y/N) and Anastasia." He reminded her, now looking at the uncertain girl.

She looked to the side and frowned, "It's just that-"

"What?"

"Well, three days ago we didn't have any past at all, and now we're trying to remember an entire lifetime." She tells him in a stressed voice, feeling Anya squeeze her arm for comfort.

"That's why you got me." Dimitri smiled at her gently, then questioned, "Now, where was uncle Boris from?"

"Moscow?"

.....

Vlad knocked on the door and a maid opened it to greet him.

"Oui, monsieur?"

Suddenly, she was shoved out of the way by a plump, curvy woman with short blonde hair, who posed seductively in the doorway.

"Sophie Stanislovskievna Somorkov-Smirnoff!" Vlad exclaimed seeing the woman.

(Y/N) who was behind him, in her blue dress with a big yellow bow in her hair looked at Dimitri in question, who was wearing a suit with his hair fixed up nicely. He looked at her also and raised his brows, smiling.

"Vladimir Vanya Voinitsky Vasilovich!" She exclaimed also and held out her hand for him, he took it and began kissing it. "Well, this is unexpected." She took notice of the three behind him, "Oh, but look at me. Where are my manners? Come in! Come in, everyone."

She lead them inside the house, accidentally locking Poor Pooka outside of it who was trying to get it.

"May I present their Imperial Highness, the Grand Duchesses (Y/N) and Anastasia Nikolayevna!" Vlad announced as he gently pushed the sisters forward.

"Oh, my heavens!" Sophie gushes and circled the nervous sisters who stood closely to each other, "They certainly do look like them. But so did many of the others."

"Where were you two born?" She questioned, a hand on her chin as she observed the sisters.

"At the Peterhoff Palace." They answered together.

"Correct." Sophie nods her head approvingly, "And how does (Y/N) and Anastasia like their tea?"

The (H/C) haired girl made a small yuck face at this, "We don't like tea. Just hot water and lemon."

.....

A few hours had passed and the sisters had answered all the questions correctly. They were sitting in Sophie's drawing room, when she asked her final question for them.

"Finally, you'll most likely find this.." She trails off and places her hands together, "An impertinent question, but indulge me. How did you two escape during the siege of the Palace?"

Behind (Y/N), Dimitri turned away and sighed, running a hand through his locks. They hadn't gone over that one, and he was sure they were going to fail.

At that question, (Y/N) looked lost in thought as she fiddled with her necklace and started to remember flashbacks of a young brown haired boy, "There was a boy-" She looked up and furrowed her brows, "That worked in the Palace....he opened a wall."

Dimitri's eyes slowly went wide at her claim and felt his heart skip a beat in the realization, staring at the back of her head. That was him she was talking about, this girl was his (Y/N). The one he was so desperate to find again.

She chuckles and looks down at her hands, "I'm sorry, that's crazy. Walls opening.."

"So, are they Romanovs?" Vlad asked Sophie, sitting next to her on the couch.

"Oh, well, they answered every question." Sophie smiled and stood up, picking up the tray of cups and a kettle.

Vlad stood up in excitement, "You hear that children! You did it!" He bounces over to them and embraces the sisters in a happy bear hug, spinning them as they laughed.

No one noticed, but (Y/N) as Dimitri left the room and she frowned worriedly watching him leave. Her attention was brought back to Vlad when he talked again.

"So, when do we go and see the Empress?" He asked Sophie again, grinning at the sisters.

"I'm afraid you don't." Sophie answers him sadly, making Vlad's face fall.

"Oh? Come again, my pet?"

"The Empress simply won't allow it." She starts to walk around the table, making Vlad go up to her.

"Now, Sophie, my bright diamond," He starts off and takes the tray off her hands, whispering, "Surely you can think of some way to arrange a brief interview with the Dowager?"

She just huffs and took the tray back, trying to walk away, but Vlad grabber her waist.

"I refuse to budge till an answer occurs to you. Please?" He begged with a bright smile.

Sophie gasped and turned around to the waiting sisters, "Do you like the Russian ballet?" She questioned excitedly, "I believe they're performing in Paris tonight. The Dowager Empress and I love the Russian ballet. We never miss it." She winked knowingly.

.....

Vlad stood in the doorway that lead to the garden where Dimitri was standing, conflicted.

"We..Did it!" Vlad bellowed happily, arms outstretched, and skipped over towards his friend, "We're going to see the Imperial Highness tonight!" He picked up Dimitri and spun him around.

"We're going to get the 10 million rubles!" Vlad laughed and placed his friend down, "We are going to be-"

"But Vlad- Vlad," Dimitri tried talking over him, sighing heavily to himself, "Vlad they are, she is the Princess."

Vlad was too busy celebrating to hear what was said, "They were extraordinary! I almost believed them! And Sophie-" He laughs mid sentence again.

(Y/N) and Anya rushed outside as well, equally excited.

"Sophie wants to take us shopping for the ballet!" (Y/N) squealed and twirled around in her spot, landing in her sisters open arms, "Shopping in Paris! Can you believe it?"

.....

The next thing the sisters knew, they were walking out of a store called Chanel wearing new dresses. (Y/N) wore a beautiful lavender gown, that was cut in the style of French flappers and knee length, with her hair up in a bun, make-up done, and delicate shoes adorning her feet.

She exited the store with her sister, and spotted Dimitri in new suits. Her eyes went wide seeing how handsome he looked in it, as Anya nudge her sister and gave her a teasing look.

(Y/N) waved her off and walked towards him, giggling and grabbed his arm excitedly, making him look down at her in awe.

"Lovers!"

Vlad now exited the shop and gestured to who was walking out, seeing Sophie in a new beautiful dress.

"Ooh, la, la!"

Sophie ran over to a woman selling flowers and brought one.

"Welcome, my friends to Paree!"

She handed the (F/C) flower to (Y/N), who took it with a giant grin.

"Here, have a flower, on me."

She smelled the flower and Sophie went behind her, and Dimitri.

"Forget where you've from. You're in France! Children, come!"

Sophie gently pushed (Y/N) closer to Dimitri, and the two looked each other with flushed cheeks. She smiled sweetly at him and tucked the flower in his jacket, making him touch it gently.

"I'll show you that French, Joie de vivre!"

Sophie, Vlad, (Y/N) and Anya linked arms, as (Y/N) reached out and grabbed Dimitri's, pulling him along with them.

"Paree holds the key to your heart. And all of Paris plays a part."

They all started strutting down the road of Paris, as (Y/N) and Dimitri broke off, just the two of them together as the girl held onto his arm.

A man and a woman strolled down the same path, greeting them with a waves and smiles.

"You'll stroll two by two."

"Down what we call la rue."

"And soon all Paris will be singing to you!"

They all looked over and saw multiple couples dancing and the men lifting the woman into the air.

(Y/N) grabbed her sisters hand and grinned, the two of them twirling together.

"Ooh la la! Ooh la la! Ooh la la!"

Sophie was being dipped by a handsome man, as the sisters watched excitedly.

"Paree holds the key to I'amour!"

He brought her back up and grabbed (Y/N), dipping her down too which made her squeal, getting twirled back into Anya's arms who cheered.

.....

An old man watched a pretty lady pass by him.

"Und not even freud knows the cure!"

He wasn't looking where he was going and slipped on a banana peel.

.....

A man and multiple women were dancing an a plane in the air.

"There's love in the air!"

.....

A fancy looking woman walked a cheetah down the road on a leash, as the group watched.

"At 'zee' folies-bergere!"

A male painter was making an art piece in the middle of the road, on his canvas.

"The French have it down to an art!"

"Paris holds the key to your heart! Ooh, la, la!"

.....

Sophie approached a group of handsome men.

"When you're feeling blue, come to Le Moulin."

She grabbed one of their berets and placed it on her head, and began pushing them out of the way.

"When your heart says, don't, the French say do!"

.....

The group was now in a fancy restaurant, watching some ladies in red dresses dance on stage.

"When you think you can't, you'll find you can can! Everyone can can can!"

They all sat at a table, (Y/N) twirling her way towards her seat that Dimitri pulled out for her.

"You can can-can too!"

Sophie kicked her leg into the air and her shoe came flying off her foot, landing where the dancers were on stage. (Y/N) leant forward on Dimitri's back with a gasp and watched the scene play out.

Vlad immediately stood up and rushed to get it, ending up getting caught in the middle of the women.

"Whee! Whee! Whee!"

(Y/N) laughed loudly seeing this, grabbing into Dimitri's arm who was also grinning widely at the scene. He turned to look at her over his shoulder and grinned more.

Vlad made it back and placed Sophie's shoe back on her foot. A handsome male suddenly walked past (Y/N) and grabbed her hand, making her yelp and follow along, sending her sister a 'help me look' and she just laughed.

(Y/N) snickered when Anya's laughing stop, as she got pulled to the dance floor also.

Dimitri watched the girl of his dreams dance with another male.

"Parcee holds the key to her past."

He holds up his drink to (Y/N) and watches her dance with a sad smile. When she was getting twirled around, both their gazes met through the room and a weird feeling began to stir within her chest.

It was the final spark they had both been missing, and (Y/N) was pretty sure Dimitri felt it too, as his eyes softened on her form in a way that she's never thought possible.

"Yes, Princess I've found you at last."

It wasn't just simple adoration anymore...

"No more pretend, you'll be gone, that's the end."

As she turns back to the dance, his gaze hardens and his smile drops as the realization of the situation hits him, hits his heart.

.....

Everyone was up on the roof of the restaurant dancing, as Sophie was thrown up by two men in the middle.

"Paree holds the key to your heart!"

.....

(Y/N) stood in front of mirror in a new dress, this one being a ice blue color. The designer stood next to her with a measuring tape.

"You'll be tres jolie and so smart!"

She twirled in her dress and he kissed his hand in approval.

.....

People were dancing in the streets, with Vlad joining them.

"Come dance through the night."

"And forget all your woes."

Sophie was in the back of a car, outstretching her hands out.

"A city of lights!"

A man in the front seat took out the rose in his mouth, holding it in his hand.

"Where a rose is a rose!"

.....

(Y/N), Anya, Dimitri, Sophie and Vlad stood on top of the elevator that led to the top of the Eiffel Tower.

(Y/N) saw Dimitri looking down at the bottom, making her pull him back and grab his arm. He looked at her and smiled.

"And one never knows what will start!"

.....

They made it to the top of the Eiffel Tower and looked down at the scenery. (Y/N) grabbed Dimitri's hand in hers in excitement and pointed at the view with in amazed eyes.

"Paree...Holds the key..."

Dimitri looked down at the flower (Y/N) had given him, then to their intertwined hands and back up to her. He thought she looked so beautiful in the moonlight, but shook the thought away with a sad smile.

"To her..."

Fireworks bursted into the air, making the night even more special as it lite up the nighttime sky.

"Heart! Ooh la! la! Ooh la la!"
