"Please reconsider Mary Poppins! I beg of you!" The parrot said as she picked her umbrella up and her carpet bag.

"I want to see my friends again. Can you not see that?" She asked as she went down the stairs quietly.

"I'm telling you! Please!" He begged.

Mary paused as she looked out into the rain. She knew that if she left before the wind changed, she'd be endangering herself, but she didn't care. She opened her umbrella and the wet wind blew her east.

In London, Jane and Michael were skipping rocks in the pond when a familiar friend's voice said "Eh you two!"

"Bert!" The two said at the same time. They ran and hugged him.

"How are ya?" He asked.

"We're fine, but or new nanny is scary." Jane said and Michael nodded in agreement.

"Well, where is she?" He asked looking around for her.

"We ran away from her." Michael replied before Jane could open her mouth.

"I thought you'd learned not to do that anymore." Bert said.

"If you saw this lady, you'd be scared yourself." Jane said.

"Well she can't be that bad." Bert scratched his head and then he heard the most dreadful voice ever.

It sounded like a human crow, it was high pitched and ever annoying.

"There you are! You two wretched children!" Mrs. Partridge yelled as she pushed Bert out of her way and grabbed both Jane and Michael's ears.

"Ow! Let us go!" Michael said.

"I shall tell your father about this." She shrieked.

"Would you be so kind as to let those children go?" Mary Poppins asked as she appeared from no where, startling not only Mrs. Partridge, but Bert, Jane, and Michael.

"Who are you?" She asked releasing them.

"Mary Poppins, and these two I am taking home." She said as she motioned for them to come to her, which they did, and they both clung to her sides.

"Excuse me ma'am, but these children are in my care." She snapped.

"What care? All you've done is scare them. As well as my friend here, so leave, or I'll turn you into a cat!" Mary said.

"Oh please, you really think you can," She was cut off. Mary snapped her fingers and in front of them now was a big, fat, white cat.

"Now off with you!" Mary said and with that he fat cat ran off, screaming.

"Mary Poppins!" Jane said as she hugged her. "Will she stay that way forever?" She continued.

"No, it should where off in an hour." Mary smiled down at them both and then her attention was taken by Bert, who was dusting himself off.

"Well, you look the same." Mary said and Bert looked her over and nodded.

"You haven't changed much either." He said.

Mary laughed and the children dashed away when they saw their mother calling them from their house, leaving the two alone in the twilight.

"Well, anything new with you?" Mary asked as they linked arms and started walking.

"Nothing amazin', you?" He asked.

"Hmm, just that I returned without the wind's approval." She smiled shyly. To her this was a big deal, but Bert didn't really get it, so he smiled to.

"Mary, there is something I should tell you." Bert finally said after a few minutes of silence.

"Yes?" She asked.

Bert opened his mouth, but they both heard his name being called from a few yards away by a woman, who looked almost like Mary.

"There you are!" She said and Mary yanked her arm from Bert's and looked at him distraughtly.

The woman kissed Bert and before Bert could say another word, Mary ran through the deserted park and into the darkness, without a second glance.

Mary knocked on her Uncle Albert's door an hour later and she was shivering when he opened the door.

"My dear! What is wrong?" He asked as she walked inside.

"It's Bert. He's, he's," Mary cried.

"What is it?" He asked drying her eyes.

"He's in love with someone else." She finally said as new tears ran down her cheeks.

"He is? How can there be another?" Uncle Albert asked confused.

"Uncle Albert, I love him." Mary said as she wrapped her arms around herself.

"Oh my dear." He said, now realizing what was wrong, but somewhere else, someone had caught onto Mary's vunerable state, and knew just what to do.

"So, she has finally admitted what she has hidden deep down inside you say? Very good work, I knew trusting you would work out." A man said.

"Yes sir, she has. I warned her." Another voice said.

"And that you did, now let's see what happens when more dreadful news arives, let's just see how long it takes for this "Practically Perfect Princess" to break." The other man said as he watched Uncle Albert hug his niece.

"Mary, why didn't you ever tell him?" Uncle Albert asked later after Mary had calmed down.

"I was told I couldn't, and now I know I should have when I had the chance." She replied.

"You should have I agree with you." He said as he rose to his feet.

"You turning out?" She asked as she faked a smile.

"I am, now stay here as long as you like, your room is the same as you left it when you were 16, I'll see you in the morning." He said and he went upstairs.

Mary laid down on the small couch and looked up at the ceiling, memories of the past filled her mind.

One that stayed was when she'd first met Bert, that was also the first day she'd fallen in love with him, why had he chosen someone else? Mary cried herself to sleep that night, but tomorrow would be far worse.


Ok here's chapter one, you'll notice there is actually bad guys in this story, unlike the movie, like I said, it may remind you of Enchanted very soon. Au revoir!
