My Favorite Things
Fanfic by LivingOnLaughs
Song from The Sound Of Music
Peanuts Characters by Charles M Schulz
Peppermint Patty and Marcie were relaxing on a dark and stormy night. The former was snoring away while the latter was trying to read a book without getting scared by the storm. "CRASH" a lightning bolt flashed across the sky, causing the bespectacled girl to scream, waking her tomboyish friend in the process.
"What's wrong, Marcie?" Peppermint Patty asked groggily; but concerned. The shy, little girl just shivered as she nuzzled into her best friend's t-shirt. "Did the lightning scare you?" the tomboy questioned before continuing. "Whenever I'm scared, I think of my favorite things." Marcie looked up at Patty's reassuring smile before quietly asking, "What kind of things do you think of, Sir?"
Peppermint Patty began listing her favorite things, "Let's see, there are starry nights, sunny mornings, butterflies, daisies and raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens, bright copper kettles and warm, woolen mittens; brown paper packages tied up in strings. These are a few of my favorite things." Marcie smiled as Patty continued, "Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels, doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles, wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings. These are a few of my favorite things." Peppermint Patty then looked at her best friend who was (probably) asleep before finishing the song, "Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes, snowflakes that stay on my nose and your glasses, silver white winters that melt into springs. These are a few of my favorite things. When the dog bites, when the bee stings, when I'm feeling sad, I simply remember my fa-vor-ite things and then I don't feel so bad."
***Later***
Patty looked out the window, taking notice of the rain stopping and the sun coming out. She then looked at Marcie, who wasn't afraid anymore, before deciding to go play outside.
A/N: I know that the lyrics are 'snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes', but if you're writing a small Peanuts fanfiction between Peppermint Patty and Marcie, sometimes you have to tweak the lyrics a little.
