"Are you alright?"


"Klar..."


"Don't worry! We'll get your brain back in no time.. not much to get back anyway." She says smirking as I shove her away. 


"Oh by the way." I take the cigarettes out of my purse.


"Oh the good american stuff. You bad bad girl... What would your papa think?"


"I don't care. He wont do more than maybe give me a slap. I remind him of Carin too much. Oh and before I left I wrote on a note that I'm busy getting tuberculosis."


"Oh you're evil." She laughs.

She lights up a cigarette as I do the same. As i smoke I reminisce about all my late night smokes with Hanna and Anne. I felt so trapped when I well first got her but she makes me feel free and normal. Not like I got transported in time and suddenly apparently am a daughter of a high ranking nazi. It's crazy. This is just a bad dream... right?

Those old amographs things played some old or well new Swing as the party basement was filled to the brim.




"Woah the Gestapo is here too?" A guy with black curly hair and a goofy smile walks towards me.



"Yes. They're going to arrest you for horrible crimes against the fashion world. What in gods name are those pants?" I smile at him sarcastically.


"My uniform. Thought you'd find that sexy." He hits a mocking sexy pose.
Uniform? I hope he means his signature look and not the SS or something. 
I'm too naïve for this time. No wonder Hitler is fond of me.


"You'd like that huh?" Where did that confidence come from?


"Rudi." Elizabeth yells from behind me.
"She doesn't remember you. She lost a battle with her horse." She chuckles.
"That's Rudi. He studies medicine in Berlin." She whispers in my ear.


"Well Fräulein, I, am Rudi. Your boyfriend."
Pardon me?



"He's lying." Elizabeth raises a brow at him.



"For now." He winks at me before walking past me.


"When he finally opens up and likes you back, you loose your mind." She shakes her head.


"I didn't loose my mind just-"



"-everything in it. Got it!"


"You're such a smart ass."


"I learned from the best." She smiles at me before pulling me to the bar.


"Maybe some beer will bring you back." She laughs.


"Beer is so gross."


"Then a radler will do... you'll just have to double the number of glasses i guess." She hands me a large glass.
"Stößchen" She smiles. 


"Stößchen."


"'n guten" Rudi slings his arm around me waist clinking his glass against ours before finishing his beer.


"I'm getting tired" Elizabeth realises. "Grete, quick give me a punch."


"What do you mean?"


"Oh you know.. your necklace" I look down and see a golden heart necklace. I didn't acknowledge that i had been wearing it ever since i came here. It had my Margaret's so my initials on it. I looked closer to see that i could screw open the top.
