Hi! This is my first fanfic. I don't own anything about The Sound of Music or any of the characters. I am not making any profit off of this. It has all came from my mind. Please, read and review! Thanks!
What Could've Been
Chapter 1:
"Robert, I don't know if I am going to be around, Tony and I will be traveling to England in a few months. I don't think…"
"Julie, Please! You're my last hope. I don't have anyone else who could look and act the part. Please, I'm begging!"
Robert Wise always knew how to play the guilt card.
"Bob, you sure do know how to use guilt to get what you want! Alright, I will do it. When's the first shooting?"
"Actually, not until October, we all must meet first. I am calling a meeting for the cast to meet, read the script and socialize on October 1st. Be there at three o' clock. I already have the man who will be playing the captain and I think you will love him!" Robert "Bob" Wise explained.
"who is he?"
"I can't tell you. It's a surprise."
"Oh Bob just tell me!" Julie pleaded.
"I can't. It's just one day. The suspense won't kill you!" he said, matter-of-factly.
"Bob, obviously you don't know me!"
"Haha! I'll talk to you later, Julie. I have a lot of things to do." Robert said as he hung up the phone.
"I wonder who this person is?" Julie asked herself.
'I wonder if he's cute? Julie! Don't think like that You're a married woman!' Julie thought to herself.
"Darling, I'm home!" Tony Walton exclaimed.
"Tony! How was your day?" Julie asked coming into the room, giving her husband a small peck on the lips.
"Alright. Better that you're with me." Tony exclaimed.
"Oh Tony, don't flatter. You will never believe what happened today!"
Tony said as he took his wife in his arms and sat her down on his lap.
"Now, talk away."
"Alright. Well, when I got home, my cell phone rang and it was Robert Wise
offering me the role of Maria von Trapp in 'The Sound of Music'!
"Julie darling, That's wonderful! What did you say?" Tony asked his wife.
"Well, I said yes!"
"Julie, you know we're supposed to go to England in a few months!"
"I know tony. I can plan it for another month. No biggy! Can you please just
support me on this?"
"O.K. but why do you want this so much?" Tony asked, semi-annoyed.
"Because darling, this could really boost my film career. Please, support me."
Julie explained, staring lovingly into her husbands eyes.
"Julie sweetheart, you sure do know how to charm me, my dear." Tony
Picked his wife up and laid her on the couch and began to tickle her.
"Tony! Stop! Tony…T…Tony, I can't breath!"
Julie squealed as her husband took his hands off her, and began to kiss her. This produced a small groan from Julie as Emma, Julie's daughter, made her way into the room. At the sound of her daughter's footsteps, Julie pushed her husband off of her and onto the floor.
"Mommy, what time do I have to go to bed?"
"Eight-thirty. Why?"
"Because, I wanted to spend some time with you and daddy."
Julie looked at her husband and then realized what she had done.
"Tony! I am so sorry. Did I hurt you?"
"No, darling. I'm alright. Emma honey, what do you want to do?' Tony asked while getting up out of the floor.
"Um…let's play…Chutes and Ladders."
"Alright. Let's play. Will you go and get the board game, sweetheart?"
Emma nodded and they got the game out of the game closet and played for hours on end. Emma finally got sleepy and Julie scooped her daughtedr up in her arms and carried her into her bedroom, got out her pajamas and put them on her.
"Emma's asleep. Whatcha watching?" Julie asked as she snuggled up beside her
husband.
"Oh I don't know. Just something on the television." Tony said while flipping through the channels.
"Well, I have already told you about my day so,"
Julie said as she grabbed the remote and clicked it off.
"Why don't you tell me about yours."
"Nothing interesting happened to me today." Tony told his wife.
"Oh really? Tony, I'm tired. So I'm going to bed."
"Are you really going to bed or is this just an effort to get me in bed with you?" Tony asked.
"What do you think?"
Julie cocked an eyebrow as she walked to the bedroom and closed and locked the door.
