Author's note. This chapter takes place a couple days after the last one. I'm adding Mary Poppins and a song from Mary Poppins in this chapter and Eliza Doolittle will pop up. Another Julie Andrews movie and Julie Andrews My Fair Lady character on Broadway.
Maria's POV
The children and Maria were on another outing again. Louisa asked "Fraulien Maria can we go to the mountains again?"
Maria said "Alright but first we're going to visit the abbey".
Brigitta asked "Fraulien Maria are there any rules we have to follow in the abbey?"
Maria said "Not much".
Fraulien said "But I should warn you about sister Berthe. If she doesn't agree with you, she'll make you kiss the floor".
Louisa asked "Did she ever make you kiss the floor fraulien Maria?"
Maria said "Yes".
Kurt said "Well maybe we should go to your mountain instead".
Maria said "No need to be scared Kurt besides I'm the only one she'll disagree with. Marta Gretl give me your hand".
When they arrived, Maria was hesitant to ring the doorbell. Maria thought please don't make me kiss the floor.
Sister Margaretta said "Maria lovely to see you".
Maria said "You as well sister. I hope you don't mind me coming here like this".
Sister Margaretta said "Not at all. Come in please".
Maria said "Oh children this is sister Margaretta. Sister Margaretta this is Liesl, Frederich, Louisa, Kurt, Brigitta, Marta and Gretl".
Sister Margaretta said "Hello children".
The children said "Hello sister Margaretta".
Sister Margaretta asked "Is there something you wanted to talk to the reverend mother about?"
Maria said "No, I'm taking the children on an outing and I missed all of you".
Sister Margaretta said "And we've missed you".
Maria asked "Would it be okay if I show the children the gardens".
Sister Margaretta said "That's just fine".
Maria said "Come on children".
The children said "Bye sister Margaretta". But sister Margaretta was already on her way.
Kurt asked "How many nuns live here?"
Maria said "I don't know, I've never counted".
Gretl asked "Can we pick the flowers".
Maria said "No but what if when we leave, I buy you some flowers".
Gretl said "Okay".
Marta said "I like this flower. What kind is it fraulien Maria?"
Maria said "I don't know sweetie".
Maria whispered "Children that's sister Berthe over there".
Gretl asked "Is she mean".
Maria said "Not really".
Kurt whispered "Should we run".
Maria said "No children we're going to say hi".
Frederich asked "And what if she makes you kiss the floor?"
Maria said "Well usually when that happens, I've done something wrong".
Sister Berthe said "Good afternoon, Maria, children".
Maria said "Good afternoon".
The children said "Good afternoon".
After a little while in the gardens they left. Gretl said "Don't forget fraulien you said you'll by me flowers".
Maria said "I know there's a flower cart across the street hold hands".
When they made it across the street, a woman said "Ello chilren, 'ow's you today?"
Maria said "We're good and you".
The woman said "I'm good. I'm Eliza Doolittle. Would you like some flowers".
Maria said "Yes.- I'm Maria, this is Liesl, Marta, Brigitta, Kurt, Frederich Louisa and Gretl. Which one Gretl".
Gretl said "That one".
Eliza said "Ow about that me favorites. Ow many?"
Gretl said "Two".
Eliza said "Thirty cents. Ow about me tie a bow around it for an extra ten cents".
Maria said "Alright".
Eliza said "Thanks you".
Maria said "You're welcome. Come on children". Maria and the children left.
Marta asked "Fraulien Maria why does she talk like that?"
Maria said "Well some people talk different ways and some people have an accent".
Marta said "Oh".
Gretl asked "Fraulien Maria do you want a flower?"
Maria said "I thought you wanted 2 flowers".
Gretl said "I want to give 1 to you".
Maria said "Why thank you darling" and curtsied. Gretl giggled.
Maria heard someone say "Jane Michael come along". Maria would know that voice anywhere.
Maria turned around and said "Mary".
Mary turned around and said "Maria how are you?"
Maria said "I'm fine just looking after these children. This is Frederich, Kurt, Liesl, Louisa, Brigitta, Marta and Gretl. Children this is my old friend Mary Poppins".
Mary asked "And who are you calling old?"
Maria whispered "She's a bit sensitive".
Mary said "This is Jane and Michael and I hope you remember Bert".
Maria gave Bert a hug. Maria said "Of course especially with that song we made up together".
Jane asked "What song?"
Mary said "Speak when spoken to Jane". Jane only smiled because she knew Mary Poppins was never cross but sensitive yes.
Gretl asked "What song fraulien Maria?"
Maria said "It's-".
Mary said "That's my part".
(Mary Poppins)
It's supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Michael said "That's not a word".
Mary Poppins said "It is and I'll prove it, proceed Maria".
(Maria)
Even though the sound of it is something quite a atrocious
(Mary Poppins & Maria)
But if you say it loud enough you'll always sound precocious
(Bert, Mary Poppins & Maria)
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

(Bert)
Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay
(Children)
Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay
(Maria)
Because I was afraid to speak
When I was just this high
My uncle gave my nose a tweak
Which always made me cry
(Mary Poppins)
Then one day she learned a word
That saved her aching nose
The biggest word you'll ever hear
And this is how it goes
(Bert, Mary Poppins & Maria)
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
(Mary Poppins)
Even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious
(Maria)
If you say it loud enough, you'll always sound precocious
(Maria, Mary Poppins & Bert)
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
(Children)
Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay
Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay

(Maria)
He traveled all around the world
And everywhere he went
(Mary Poppins)
He'd use his special word and all would say
There goes a clever gent
(Bert)
When Dukes and Maharajahs
Pass the time with me
(Maria)
He'd say his special word
(Bert)
And they ask me out for tea
(Maria, Mary Poppins, Bert)
Oh supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
(Mary Poppins)
Even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious
(Maria)
If you say it loud enough you'll always sound precocious

Maria said "You know children you can say it backwards which is Dociousaliexpilisticfragicalirupus but that's going too far".
(Mary Poppins)
So when the cat has got your tongue
(Maria)
There's no need for dismay
(Bert)
Just summon up this word
(Mary Poppins)
And you've got a lot to say
But better use it carefully or it could change your life
(Bert)
For example if you say it to your girl
Shoot she may become your wife
(Children)
She's supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
(Maria)
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
(Bert)
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
(Mary Poppins)
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Maria said "Oh it's so good to see you guys again".
Bert said "It was great singing it again".
Mary said "Very much but we have to go".
Jane & Michael said "Can't we stay a little longer?"
Mary Poppins said "No. Come on say goodbye".
The children said goodbye to each other and went their separate ways.
