December 1664

"Uncle Max, where are we going?" Louisa asked as they made their way to an untold destination. Max kept his mouth closed. "Father, do you know?"

"I have no clue and if I'm honest I don't trust you Max." The captain announced.

"So your trying to tell us that Uncle Max is taking us to a place where, you, father have no clue where it is!" Brigitta started as her father and Max nodded. The girl was shocked she didn't know what was going on as she was the one who noticed everything. "And you don't trust him! This is outrageous!"

The youngest Von Trapp girls were mostly worried about what had really happened to their mother or if they would see her again and to top it all off they were worried about if they'd recognise her, Herr Detweiler had told the family that she'd gone to get her hair done and back to it's original self, which worried them.

After being in New York for just over two weeks they were now off on some adventure as Max had called it. Elsa had started to thing her new fling had gone mad. Maria and the Uncle both had a secret that would be told in the next few hours. The bus came to a sudden stop.

"Last stop John F. Kennedy Airport!" The driver shouted. Passengers started to pile off with the Von Tapp's last.

"Alright gather your things and we'll go meet your mother." Max said walking off to find Maria with the family was following him. The children ran ahead not hearing that the men told them to stay close. Gretl was the one to run into her mother, not recognising her at first but when the girl did wrapped her arms around the woman's legs.

"Fancy bumping into you here." Maria smiled and picked up her daughter. In a few short minutes the rest of the travellers walked up to them.

"Your hair, it looks amazing mother." Liesl noted as Maria smiled to say thank you.

"Will someone tell us where we'e going?" Baroness Schraeder demanded. "I have to make sure I have the right clothes for the right occasion."

"Well if you haven't got clothes for the sun you're done for." Max joked walking into the building with Maria walking next to him, leaving the rest to follow behind with questions in their heads.
