The nun left them standing there. The travelers looked at eachother.
"We gotta get in there some how and talk to her. She has to go back, Bogg." Jeffrey told him.
"Well, the walls are kinda steep, kid. Let's walk around and see how we can get in." They weren't able to, much to their dismay. Suddenly, they had to duck, since the children were heading towards the gate! Luckily, they were able to hide before the children could see them.
However, the children were not able to see them, so they walked back to the house. It turned out, the children weren't any more luckier than they were. But, about an hour later, Maria came back! The children were thrilled and, let's face it, so was Phineas. He had missed her smile and bright blue eyes. She had changed, though. He could sence it. She was more quiet, more distant.
Maria didn't look at Phineas, nor did she look at the Captain. She put on a front for the children and Jeff, though Jeff knew what had happened to her. He had decided NOT to tell Phineas what made Maria change so much. Jeff thought Phineas needed to close his heart from Maria so that Maria and the Captain would find eachother and fall in love.
Later that night, Maria went for a walk. That gave the Captain and the Baroness a chance to talk and the chance for the Captain to tell the Baroness his true feelings.Phineas went out to the taress and watched the Captain go towards where Maria had gone. Out of curiosity, the pirate followed the other fellow and stopped when they came close to Maria.
Phineas watched the two talk and hug and kiss. Getting the hint, he made his way back to the house and saw Jeffrey on the terrace, looking at the sky.
"You okay, kid?" he asked as he got close to the boy. He put an arm around the boy's shoulder and the boy did not shrug it off.
"Ever since I became a Voyager, Bogg, The sky looks totally different to me," Jeff never took his eyes off the sky as he talked.
"Yeah, I know. I remember my first voyage. I just layed there, looking at that big sky and being amazed at how big it actually was. That's one of the wonders of God's creation, kid."
Jeff looked at his partner. That was the first time he heard Phineas talk about God like that. Maybe something is happening to the older man during this voyage. Jeff knew something was deffinatly happening to HIM. Was it getting older? Or just the new found love he had for the pirate?
The next month was busy. Maria and the Captain got married and went on their honeymoon. Max got busy by putting himself in charge of the children and putting them on the music concert. Phineas tried to tell Max that he shouldn't do that, but Jeff told Phineas that was suppose to happen. Phineas was now confused on why the omni was still blinking red. He told Jeff that night.
"Now I'M confused! Everything is going to how it's supposed to go..." Jeff sighed.
They were in their room, discussing the matter at hand. This was one of the few times to where they both were confused as to what they were supposed to do. Jeff had thought Maria was going to stay at the Abbey, but she came back. Then he thought that the Captain was going to marry the Barroness, but he had changed his mind and married Maria instead. Now what?
The next day, the Captain got word he was to report to the third Reich and serve Germany. He fumed, not knowing what to do or say.
"I have to go," he told Maria, who had tears in her eyes.
"No, George. It's not what you want to do. You can't go!" she cried, her head on his shoulders.
Jeff and Phineas came down stairs and walked over to them.
"Yeah, you can't go. You have to be with your family," Jeff said, his voice stern as he'd heard Phineas' voice many times.
George smiled at the two of them. "Phineas, your son is wise beyond his years."
Phineas ran his hand through Jeff's hair and smiled. "Yeah, sometimes he amazes me, too."
"Bogggggg," Jeff rolled his eyes and Phineas laughed.
Maria laughed, brushing the tears off her face. It was nice to hear laughter in the house agian.
"Does that mean you'll stay?" Jeff asked, hope in his brown eyes. He would hate it if the Captain left his family to go work for the Nazi's.
"I think I will, young man. But, that would mean we can't very well stay here, does it?" the Captain wrapped his arms around Maria.
Phineas quietly opened the omni. Darn it...STILL red light. He sighed and showed it to Jeff, who moaned in disbelief. He would love seeing the Von Trapp Family sing at the concert, but he just couldn't understand about the red light. That thing was deffinately getting on his nerves!
They planned on the escape and gathered the sleepy children together. Once they told the children what was happening, the children awoke, ready for anything.
The concert went off as planned and, naturaly, the Von Trapp Family won. But, the family had all ready left the building along with Jeffrey and Phineas. They rushed to the Abbey and the Nun's allowed them in. Not long after they found a hiding place, the Nazi's came to search the Abbey.
Thinking that the soldiers were gone, the family came out of hiding. There was one soldier still there and he shown his light on them! Before he could do anything, Phineas watched the Captain go out further to talk to the young soldier.
"Ralph, you don't want to do this. You CAN'T do this," the Captain said.
"You are a deserter. You must be turned in!" Ralph said, clearly afraid as he held the gun. He pointing the gun right at the Captain.
"You really don't belong to them. You could never be one of them!"
That got Ralph angry. He picked up what was a whistle around his neck and blew hard!
"I've found them! They're here!!!" Ralph hollered.
Phineas was itching to get out there. He didn't like guns and never had. His body was telling him to go, but his mind told him no. He heard a shot rang out.
"Bogg!!" Jeff gasped as he saw the bullet go towards the Captain.
Phineas, without saying a word, dashed over to the Captain and grabbed the older man. The two landed hard on the floor and Ralph vanished.
"C'mon, we've got to hurry!" Phineas told George as they struggled to get up. Jeffrey had stayed on the stairs to watch the scene. He helped his partner and the Captain climb down the stairs. It took awhile, but they made it to the mountains with ease after that.
"We'd like to thank you, Phineas and Jeffrey. If it weren't for the both of you, I might not be here." George said, shaking both their hands.
"It was my pleasure, Captain." Phineas smiled.
The two of them watched the family go up the mountain and to the future that was going to brighter and safer for all of them.
"Can we go back to the Beatles, please, Bogg?" Jeff asked, tears starting to form. He had Bogg as a father now, but whenever he saw a happy family together like that made the longing memories come back.
