'when two worlds meet' is the result of indeed, the meeting of two people.
We met on the amazing "Sound of Music forum" and we had lots of fun discussing every little detail So we decided to write our first fanfic together.
We had great fun doing it and we hope you'll enjoy it just like we have.
We already completed this story but we decided to post it one chapter at a time, so you'll stay interested :)
Please leave lots of reviews, it makes us better writers and we might get stimulated to write more.
We come from the Netherlands so forgive us any spelling errors, we did the best we could!

The story fits in between the kiss in the Gazebo and the wedding.

Awakenings

Maria woke up from a peaceful slumber. She listened to the birds singing outside, cherishing the feeling of the morning sun that lid her face. She felt very thankful for everything the day would bring her. Only two days ago the world wasn't such a happy place. She had returned from the abbey and found out that the love of her life was engaged to be married to another woman.

"But he didn't marry her" she smiled to herself.

In stead, he had declared his love for her, Maria still couldn't believe it and yet it seemed so true. And Georg also had changed so much, actually they both felt like teenagers again. Last night Georg had escorted her to her bedroom and saying 'goodnight' had proved to be a little difficult, she still remembered every little detail.

When they reached her bedroom door he planted a kiss on her forehead and Maria closed her eyes.

He whispered: "goodnight, Maria".

She smiled at him: "goodnight Georg".

She turned around to open her door but suddenly she felt his arms around her waist. She laughed softly but didn't protest. He kissed her neck very tender and the unexpected feeling of his breath against her bare skin made her knees buckle. Goosebumps were all over her body. He kissed her earlobe and a groan escaped from her lips.

He said in a low voice: "sleep tight darling".

When she tried to answer him her voice sounded just as hoarse: "sweet dreams love".

She turned around again and she felt his hands sliding over her waist. He pulled her against him and kissed her so passionately, something she hadn't experienced with him before. Sure, the kiss at the gazebo was very tender but this one was a little different.

When they parted for breath he murmured: "you know, I really....".

She interrupted him with a smile: "have to go ?".

They laughed together and it was very difficult to stay quiet because of the children sleeping in the rooms nearby.

"How did you know...?", Georg asked with a twinkle in his eyes.

Maria just smiled at him and her eyes were filled with pleasure. She loved to tease him and felt very cheerful that he responded on everything that she did, or said.

He sighed deeply: "well, goodnight Maria" and released her.

He took a few steps backwards and she giggled: "pleasant night...reverend Captain"

He ran back to her and groaned: "oooh, you rascal". They lost themselves in another wonderful kiss.

And when she finally closed the door, she had listened behind it to hear if she could hear Georg actually walking away to his own room.

"But he hadn't", she thought, because in fact he had been standing outside her room to hear if she would really go to bed.

And when he didn't hear anything he had suddenly shouted : "you know, leaning against the door isn't a comfortable place to sleep".

And then they both had started laughing. She smiled again reliving those events.

"Come now, lazy girl" she kicked her blanket away and energetic she jumped out of bed.

She kneeled down and muttered her morning prayer:" Dear God, thank you for another wonderful day. God bless this household I'm lucky to be a part of. In the name of the Father, the Son, the Holy Ghost, Amen."

Quickly she took her shower and enjoyed the water that refreshed her body and mind. She wondered why the children hadn't awaken her. Ever since Georg had told them that they were engaged they couldn't seem to leave her alone. Especially the little ones couldn't stop hugging her. They were so happy to have Maria as their new mother that they clung to her like they never had before. She got dressed and opened her bedroom door, ready to meet the children. She looked in the nursery.

Nothing.

"Did I oversleep?", she wondered when she descended the stairs. She looked at the clock but it wasn't later than usual. She walked into the dining room.

It was completely empty. She turned around to look for Frau Schmidt when her eye was drawn to the table. On the center of the table was a red rose, with an envelope attached to it which said "Maria". Curiously she opened the envelope and in Georg's familiar handwriting she read his message:

"My darling Maria,

I hope you have slept well! You wonder where everybody is, don't you?
Well, to find out you have to go to the main door.
Another message is waiting for you there.

Georg."


"What's this all about?", Maria wondered and smiling she rushed to the main door.

While looking around to see if she could find anyone from the staff, but she was all alone. She opened the door and found another rose, taped against the wood with another letter. She opened it:

"Hello sweetheart,

You are very curious now, I know. But you'll have to be a little patient.
Look to your left. There's a bike standing there.
Take it and peddle towards the gate.
To be continued...

Georg"


Maria glanced around her and saw, indeed, a black bike parked against a tree. She walked towards it and got on it. She didn't understand what he was up to but she was really eager to find out.
