EPILOGUE

Georg held Maria close and just the feeling of her in his arms settled his heart he let out a sigh and kissed the top of her head. She looked up at him and gave him a warm and loving smile and lifted herself on her toes to kiss him. The Mother Abbess sneaked a peak through the door and saw that the plan had worked and snuck back out.

Wedding bells were chiming from the church the very next day. Maria came stepping down the church stair case in a beautiful white dress with green ivy in her veil which held it down. She hugged the Mother Abbess before she walked through the iron gates and whispered, "Thank you," in her ear. The mother returned with a warm and comforting hug then she told her, "It was mostly done by the children Maria, I was only a helper." Maria smiled with joy and she turned around and began to make her way down the aisle.

Stan sat alone in his office with his head on the desk. He banged it hard against the wood desk and then took two aspirins. They didn't show up, not a single Von Trapp. There was no sign of them. They all checked out of the hotel the same day. Then there was Maria! The poor girl, he had thought at first, but then he thought a little more and she didn't show up either. His big show and his shot at fame were gone. Pounding his head on his desk again he kept mumbling, "Stupid, stupid, stupid!"

Taking a break from his head pounding he pulled out a cigarette and lit in his office. He saw his new secretary walk by and his eyebrows raised. "What a tart," he said allowed to him self. She turned to the sound of his voice and gave him a flirtatious smile.

"What's your name?" he asked his secretary as he quickly got up from his desk.

"It's Rachel," the girl said still giving him the same flirtatious smile.
