Hi Guys! This is the first fanfiction I've ever attempted to write, so please review! I know I'm not as good as my inspirations (Donna Sheridan Carmichael, IAmDynamo, PonyGirl 101, etc.), but I try. If you want anything changed or added, just tell me. This first chapter is pretty boring, but don't worry... that's just for now. I was having major writers block.
Love Mamma Mia! and Meryl Streep is the best actress EVER! So here it is...

"I'll miss you so much, Mom!" Sophie ran down the dock to her mother one last time with tears in both of their eyes.
"I'll miss you too, Soph."
Donna's glassy eyes reflected the moonlight as one lonely tear glistened down her cheek. Her baby girl was finally leaving Kalokairi. Leaving her childhood. Leaving her mother. All of those years she spent on the enchanted Grecian island in the middle of the sea, were now coming to an end. As Donna held onto her sweet daughter with a forceful grip, she realized it was time to say goodbye. She loosened her grip on Sophie and looked lovingly into her eyes before giving her a sweet kiss on her tear-soaked face.
"Well... I think you better go," Donna said looking down at the small boat waiting on the moonlit horizon. "Sky's waiting."
"Okay, I guess this is it." Sophie said miserably as she turned away from her mother and paced quickly down the dock, not wanting to look at the beautiful surroundings of her home for fear that it would make it only harder for her to get into the boat and leave.
"Congratulations Mom! Sam, make sure you take care of her for me!" Sophie shouted, tears stinging her eyes. She then boarded the boat, sitting next to Sky with her suitcase.
"Bye everybody!" she waved.
Sky and Sophie were starting the beginning of the rest of their lives by means of a whirlwind adventure. They would travel to the mainland, Italy, France, Spain, India, Austrailia, California, Philadelphia, and Washington D.C, before coming back to Kalokairi to check up on things. The boat slowly pulled away from the island. Donna stood there speechlessly until the boat was no longer visible, but instead had become a miniscule speck sailing towards the huge ball of white light that hung over the dark turquoise waters.
Tears still trickling down her cheeks, it was silent. Donna was in her own world as she wrapped the red shawl tightly around her shoulders.
'My baby girl is leaving me.' she thought quietly to herself as her eyes stung gently from her tears. Tears of happiness, tears of joy, tears of sadness. They were all combined. Donna knew that Sophie would be back. It was truly a bittersweet moment, but, being a mother, raising a child all of those years, and then having that child leave you was quite sad. Her baby girl was now a full fledged woman.
Donna was awoken from her thoughts as she felt two masculine hands wrap around her waist from behind. She wiped away the rest of her tears as she rest her other hand on the two hands that were already occupying her waist.
Standing their looking straight ahead for what seemed like a while, Sam finally interjected into the silence of the night air.
"Don't worry. She'll be back soon, my love."
Donna turned around to face Sam, his hands still on her hips. She raised her arms and wrapped them around Sam's neck, looking deeply into his eyes.
"I know that. It's just... I... I," Donna couldn't find the right words. "She's my only child. Now she's leaving." she whispered, almost inaudibly.
Sam leant down, pulled her in tightly and kissed her passionately, yet softly, as if trying to lightly kiss the sorrow away. All he wanted to do was get rid of the sadness and the heartache that Donna was feeling right now. Donna responded, kissing him just as forcefully. Her mouth tingled as the combination of their warm breath, and the slightly chilly air did a dance on both of their lips. They kissed for what seemed like hours before they pulled away. Sam looked deeply and lovingly into the green pools of Donna's eyes, and Donna looking into his. Suddenly it dawned on her... she hadn't physically been with Sam for 21 years. The blood in her body started to rush faster and faster throughout her veins.
'What if he doesn't think I'm good looking? What if he gets scared and runs off? What if he doesn't like the way I look?' Donna contemplated rapidly. 'I need to do something.'
Donna wiggled hastily out of her husband's soft grip.
"Donna what... are you doing?" Sam questioned as she ran off the dock, and across the beach towards the Villa.
"I just need some time, darling." Donna shouted as she started to hurry up the long flight of stone steps to the Villa.
'Time for what?' Sam thought. 'What could she be doing?'

Donna finally got up the stairs to the courtyard. She was scared, and she needed some help quick. Who could she turn to?
'Aha! Tonya!' Donna decided as she spotted her friend near the bar. Of course, it would be near the bar.
"Ton! I need some help!" Donna yelled towards her friend, as she walked the short distance from the stairs to the bar.
"Oh, hey!" Tonya said helping herself to a glass of scotch as she saw Donna walk towards her. "Where's Sam? You're supposed to be getting some right now!" Tonya giggled loudly.
"Yea. That's the problem." Tonya's smile disappeared as Donna started to cry softly.
"What happened, Don?" Tonya took a sip of her drink as she wrapped her arm around her friend. "Don't tell me your-"
"Scared? Yes," Donna said embarrassingly and hung her head, looking at the floor. "Like what if he thinks I'm not attractive or something. Not to mention the fact that I haven't been with a guy in can you say, 21 years!" Donna panicked.
"Let's get something straight. You are a sexy fox!" Tonya consoled and put both of her hands on Donna's shoulders. "C'mon Don, it's like riding a bicycle... upside-down." Donna smiled as her friend took a napkin from the countertop and wiped her tears away.
"Come on girlie," Tonya nudged her friends arm as she finished her drink. "Rosie is on the boat with Bill doing God knows what, so I guess I'm going to have to get you ready myself!" Tonya laughed excitedly drug Donna into inside and upstairs to her room.
'Oh God.' Donna thought.

Tonya sat eagerly waiting on Donna's bed, tapping her fingers on the headboard as her friend came out of the shower.
"Sit down," Tonya pointed to the chair near the dresser. "Let's get you fixed up."
As soon as Donna sat down, Tonya got to work on her hair and makeup.
"Okay. All done!" Donna smiled as she looked at her gorgeous reflection in the mirror.
"Thanks so much, Ton!" Donna jumped up and wrapped her friend in a tight embrace.
"Please... drugs, not hugs!" Tonya humorously brushed Donna off of her. "Now go get dressed." Tonya pushed Donna towards the assortment of clothes she laid out on the bed and teasingly slapped her bottom.
"Go get some girlie! I expect dish tomorrow morning!" The Dynamo shouted as she walked out of the room.
"That's of your not passed out in your bedroom tomorrow morning, Tonya!" Tonya stuck her tongue out at Donna.
Tonya turned around. "Remember. Deep breaths, and riding a bicycle upside-down!" Tonya said as she walked out and shut the door behind her.
Donna took a deep breath.
'Okay. I guess this is it.' Donna took a deep breath as she got dressed and looked at her reflection one more time.
"I'm ready for you, babe. I'm all yours." she whispered into the faint silence.

'I guess I should start back to the Villa.' Sam thought as he hopped down from the large boulder he was resting on.
