MV "Lone Palm"
Author's Note: Here's the first in a series of MVs of Jimmy Buffett songs!
None of the MVs are related, this one comes from the Allandra series and
goes into the ORIGINAL Rachel Quest: The Real Adventures series (Not to be
confused with the 2K crossover). The next is not connected to any series,
and is about Jessie 10 years in TRA's future, married to Jonny and important
in Quest Enterprises, and is called "Six String Music."
Historian's Note: The beginning scenes take place a few episodes after "The
Robot Spies." The other times are mentioned in the music video.

"LONE PALM"
((Begins when Allandra and Hadji were teenagers at the Quest Compound in
Palm Key, Florida))
Hadji and Allandra wander through the back orchards and gardens, hand in
hand
Allandra takes a portable stereo out of a canvas bag, sets it on a branch of
a banyan tree, and finds a reggae station. So begins a slow, ethereal dance
Airboat riding through the Okeechobee Swamp. Their telepathic communication
is crystal clear even over the roar of the propellor and the noise of the
rest of the Quest Team. They send each other a smile as the wind whips
Allandra's hair around (Hadji's, of course, is still turbanned)
((Pic from behind two white typical Wal-Mart beach chairs))
Allandra and Hadji walk along the edge of the beach a hundred feet in front
of the beach chairs while the low tide gently laps at their feet
Hadji sits alone under a palm tree in meditation mode, his eyes closed, but
his lips move to the words
Allandra pulls back the curtain and looks out the living room window at a
relatively calm evening, the beach and the ocean are nearly still, as is
Hadji, still meditating outside under the Lone Palm, whose leaves are
swaying gently in the breeze
Pushing the curtain back further, Allandra sees a seaplane fly across the
horizon. Jonny's canoe is floating lazily, ropelessly away.
Allandra calls for Jonny and makes a mad rush for the door. As they run to
the ocean, Hadji gets up and follows them. They are running so fast in the
water that Jonny topples onto the boat, and Hadji topples over Allandra and
the fall into the water. Jonny goes to retie the canoe and Hadji and
Allandra stay in the water, splashing and dunking each other
Half an hour later, they come in through the kitchen, tracking dirt and salt
water on the tile and living room carpet
I know this girl made of memories and phrases
Hadji is in the den, writing in a green fake-leather notebook. Allandra is
at the couch, reading a novel, once in a while looking through Hadji's eyes
at what he's got so far.
*Yeah!* Allandra thought. *Janai princess/ambassador, null, Human with
mother, Human orphan, Human with father, and now engaged/betrothed
Human/Janai with father*
*I had not even thought of that,* sent Hadji with a laugh. *I was thinking
metaphorically.*
*Jah,* sent Allandra. *And NOW I can SEE that dawn*
*Oh YEAH???* she sent, leering at him with an exaggerated fake madness
"Waitasec! Waitasec!" Allandra said. She got up and sat beside Hadji and
rested her hand on his shoulder. With her right hand she took Hadji's pen
from his hand and tapped him on his turban with it. "Found 'im!"
Hadji is under the palm tree again, not meditating, but leaning on the tree
and staring off into space
((Present, 2021))
The now-grown Allandra and Hadji Singh stand on a balcony at Bangalore
Palace. Hadji, a stately man of 44, is getting his first gray hairs.
Allandra, who hasn't physically aged since her 20's due to her Janai
heritage, is listening telepathically to her seven-year-old daugter Kavita,
who's trying to help her nine-year-old cousin Rachel cope with the results
of their VR/Psychic "experiment" which had left Rachel with kinetic and
field-manipulating powers. She takes Hadji's hand and whispers, "Listen."
Hadji acknowledges and Allandra keys him into Kavita's and Rachel's
thoughts, amused but ready to step in if anything goes wrong
They walk along the Ganges, they get polite namastés from everyone who
recognizes them and they namasté back
Later that evening. Use your imagination
Back to the Ganges. "If you could change any event in your life, what would
it be?" Hadji asks. "I wouldn't change anything," said Allandra. "I've got
the perfect life."
They remember at 21, getting married, then they had to live together, with
all the discovering annoying habits, snoring and perverbial 'soup-slurping'
that accompanies any marraige
Series of photos of Allandra and Hadji on their anniversaries and birthdays,
which in recent years include a beautiful little girl with her daddy's
brains and her momma's eyes that is the center of their lives
(flashback)
Allandra watches with barely contained laughter as Hadji changes a diaper
for the first time
Allandra and Hadji are happier than ever as they laugh with Jessie and Jonny
Quest, Dr. Quest, and Race Bannon over coffee at a café in Old Key West a
few years ago
Allandra and Hadji point out different fruit trees to 8-year-old Kavita as
they walk around the palace grounds. Kavita watches and listens with
interest
Allandra receives a notice that the Janai High Council wnts a report on the
'Teran Situation.'
"Didn't they tell you three hundred years?" asked Dr. Quest.
"They sure did," said Allandra.
Kavita reads the order. Being half Janai, she has her mother's talent for
languages.
"Look at this!" Kavita shouts. She points to a section of the data padd and
highlights it. "It says here you can send your report in the form of a
recording!"
"All right!" says Allandra.
"Good work!" says Jonny.
"Can y'all teach me Janai?" ten-year-old Rachel asks over her wailing
two-year-old brother, Roger. Rachel is annoyed that she wasn't able to point
out the discrepancy.
Scene goes back to Palm Key, starting over the ocean, traveling up the beach
and into the living room window showing sixteen-year-old Allandra playing
the piano with Race while Hadji, Jessie, Jonny and Dr. Quest watch in awe
*snicker* They got smart. It's tied to a dock on the other side of the
island
Later that evening, Hadji and Allandra are at the marker on Key West that
says, '90 Mises To Cuba.' A strong wind picks up. Allandra's hair again
whips around her face. Hadji pushes a lock away and kisses her. Allandra
returns it full force and runs the back of her hand down his cheek, then
wraps her arms around him, her hands meeting behind Hadji's neck. With one
hand, Hadji gently tilts Allandra's face upward. With his free hand, he
pulls her closer. They kiss under a backdrop of a gorgeous sunset of oranges
and purples
They are back in the airboat. Allandra's hair is under control in a braid.
Hadji takes a few steps to cross the boat and comes up behind her, wrapping
his arms around her waist
Allandra sets her hands on top of Hadji's and both close their eyes,
reveling in their bond.
Picture fuzzes, then refocuses to the present, with grown-up Allandra and
Hadji in the same position. Their reverie is interrupted, however, when
little Kavita steps onto the balcony and joins them. Kavita leans on
Allandra, feeling the soft cloth of her mother's sari, and Allandra puts her
hand on Kavita's shoulder. The three, as a family, enjoys the sunset
