Chapter 6
"What do you think?" Asked Maria, holding out the weaved flowers. "HM?"
The captain said absentminded. "I said "What do you think?" Maria repeated
a little louder. "Oh yes. Umm, very nice." The Captain said. Looking
puzzled, Maria said, "Well, it's getting late. We should go now." "Yeah, ok"
The Captain said. Getting up, the two got up and called the children. When
the children packed their things, they went back home.
Later that night……..
Knock.Knock. "Come in." Said the Captain from his study. Opening the
door, whoever opened the door was none other than… Maria. "Hi!" She said
cheerfully. "I just finished putting the children to bed." "I see." The Captain
replied. "Did you want something?" "No, I just wanted to come and talk. We
didn't really get a chance to talk earlier today. We got caught up in all the
peacefulness." Laughing, the Captain said, "True, Fraulein, very true. Well,
sit down." Maria grinned, and sat down, and they had a very long talk
between two friends. The next morning, Maria woke up to hear the sounds
of the children squealing. Maria got up to investigate, but the children burst
into her room. "What's all the excitement?" Maria said, smiling. "Father
said that the puppet show has arrived! We can start rehearsing, Fraulein!"
Bubbled Gretl with excitement. Laughing, Maria picked her up, and tickled
her. "OH really!" Giggling, Gretl squirmed out of her arms. "Well, why
don't we go down for breakfast." Maria said, glancing at the clock. "We
don't want to be late, do we?" "NO WAY!" Said Kurt. "Naturally, Kurt."
Teased Maria. The other children laughed while Kurt just smiled. Together,
the seven children and their governess walked down the stairs to the dining
room where their father was waiting for them, along with a special surprise.
