(Now....For the first time ever.....I'm actually going to write a follow up of Princess Natasha: Short!!!)

-------------

Now...this was an alternate universe where Natasha's uncle amassed an army of robots instead of a few petty tricks at the beginning. The king and the queen are in the dungeon and Princess Natasha is working up her skills to be strong enough to take down her uncle. Not knowing....that she is not alone in this endeavor.

------------------

First day at school and so far....

I have been mocked and ridiculed.

Best training for endurance IS high school.

The girl smiles at her thoughts and turns her head to her new friend.

Maya, a nice girl with a head for sports.

Unlike me....people don't laugh at her.....Why do they not like me? I'm doing the same thing she is....

Perhaps it's because I am not American?

The government has allowed for me to stay here for a few years and then....go back home to my mother and father.

If there is any home left, I hear my uncle is planning something awful.

The girl tightens her fist.

I must stop him! 

A few more years and she will be ready...hopefully.

"Hey, Natty."

"Yeah?"

"Do you want to go to a roller skating party? It's for my birthday, a few other kids are coming."

"I would love to! I just have to drop by my apartment first."

"You live by yourself? That's cool."

"Nah, it's lonely, but I've managed for a few years now."

"Don't you live your parents?"

"Uh....no, but don't worry, they call sometimes when they aren't working and they've made sure I am well taken care of. This is the first time I'm going to school here."

"You were homeschooled? That's so lame!", came the voice of the resident popular girl. Air brain Kelly and beside her is the dumbnut Greg, her boyfriend.

"....Ignore her."

"I was planning to."

"Good."

-------------------

When it came time for the party, Maya was there to greet her.

"You made it! Come on, the drinks are next to my parents. The rink is over there and the bathrooms are over there, next to the food stand and the tables."

"I have a present for you. I hope you like it."

Natasha handed the girl a silver necklace with a sapphire gem on it.

"I love it and I'll wear it right now."

----------------------

"Natasha, do you know how to skate?"

"Yeah, I've practiced for a few months until I broke my leg."

"Oh, does it still hurt? Need any help jogging your memory?"

"No, I'll be fine."

-------------------------------

Except, she got pushed a round a few times and gave up trying. She sat down on a bench next to the rink and watched everyone else. Then she heard someone sit next to her.

"Hello, I'm Oleg. Nice to meet you! I have present for you."

She quirked a brow.

"Uh...It's not my-I'm not...."

"I know, I know. I already gave her, her present. I just thought that it would be nice...."

"Okay, thank you.", she smiled.

"Might I suggest opening it when you get home?"

"Sure."

She stood up and looked at him.

"Want to skate with me, Oleg?"

"I would be honored!"

-------------------------

And so A wonderful friendship and partnership began! They found out that the king and queen were going to be executed on a set date. So a few years turned into a few months and Princess Natasha has to be ready by then to save her family and her people, can she do it?

I hope so.

The End.
