** Authors Note: Well I'm so sorry the first chapter was like really short. I was bored out of my mind when I started it, and since I have already posted it I thought it would only be fair if I finished the story. So here's chapter 2. Enjoy! Please Review! Thank You! **
Mary Poppins, prim and proper looked down from the early morning sky of London. She glided up above the sky, a figure only recognizable to those who were looking for her. She swiftly glided down to the street where her beloved Uncle Albert lived. AS her heels clicked to the concrete she smiled to herself and took a deep breath of what would now become her permanent home, London. Mary Poppins had always enjoyed coming to London. The city was always busy, the parks always alive. Although she never grasped the thought of what made her want to come to London when the east wind would change. She remembered the last time she had been in London, with her young charges of Jane and Michael. That one time had been a memorable time for her, days in the park, chalk picture, merry-go-rounds, dancing, roof tops, they were all too much for her. She quickened her pace and stood in front of Uncle Albert's home. She knocked once, and in the blink of an eye Uncle Albert was already at the door hugging his dear Mary Poppins.
"Oh, Mary Poppins! I heard the news, and let me tell you I couldn't be happier than to have you stay here with me! I just couldn't believe it, really I couldn't." His voice was overjoyed and Mary couldn't stop but smile to herself a smile that lit up her whole face.
"Oh really. I'm glad to see you Uncle Albert. Now, I just don't see how you heard the news, I mean I was just informed this morning you know… I…"
"Mary Poppins, I already knew you would be freed sooner or later. And let me just tell you that a little bird told me. Now anyways, would you care for a cup of tea?" He winked at her and allowed her to walk in; he took hold of her coat and hat and then walked over to the neatly made center table which held some fresh made tea in the living room. She sat down on the Victorian arm chair, straight and proper and prepared her tea. For once, in her life, did she feel insecure and unable to make conversation.
"Would you care to tell me what this is all about?" She asked in a brisk, stern, yet polite way.
"My dear, what do you mean?"
"Oh really? You know exactly what I'm talking about, about me being set free?" She looked a little insecure on her last word, and now she wasn't even sure what she was talking about.
"Well, Mary Poppins, let me just tell you that you will find out in due time-"
"I do not wish to play one of your childish games Uncle Albert." She looked at him giving him her icy glare, "I know you very well, and therefore I am quite sure that you are to know what is going on-" She stood up placing her cup on the table, she looked at him concern on her face as in asking him what to do next. That made him stand up as well. He walked over to her and held her hand. He chuckled and said, "You're used to following the directions of the wind, you used to follow the winds. Now there is a twist to that, now you follow your heart, destiny, and wind. Then wind has brought you here for a reason, as has you heart. I was sure you would know what the reason is, but if you don't it is up to you to find out dear. Now, I have a room set up just for you upstairs, last room to the right. I am aware you might need some rest, so please, rest and feel at home-" he patted her hand and turned around, walked towards the door and picked up Mary Poppins carpet bag and her stuff. He walked up the stairs and she followed in silence.
He stopped at the door of her bedroom and opened it he stepped inside placing her stuff near the door way. She paused just on the door way, seeing the confusion dancing in Mary's eyes he said, "Oh please come in," she stepped inside and looked around, "oh yes, lets just say I redecorated my house, I quite like it to be honest with you. Please rest, as I said feel comfortable please. Now if you'll excuse me, I will leave you alone to get unpacked." Mary Poppins wasn't much paying attention she turned around to thank him but uncle Albert was already gone. She took a deep breath and started her errands.
Soon Mary Poppins was set, she had set her furniture and made her room perfection. Time was running and tiredness was falling over her. She walked over to the balcony of her room. It was so beautiful, they sky was darkening and the city lights were turning on around the city. She walked back inside her bedroom to grab her umbrella, and when she came back outside she floated off into the darkening sky.
Having nowhere to go she decided to go off on to the roof tops of London. Skeptically she watched the view of the night sky up above pensive, she sat down on the edge of the roof.
"Mary Poppins!" She quickly stood up and whipped around and quickly recognized the man that was standing a couple feet away. Involuntarily he walked over to her and gave her a huge smile that lit up his whole face.
"Bert," She whispered and her eyes softened into a deep shade of gray. She ran a hand along his cheek, something she had never done which took her in disbelief. She quickly took her hand a way but he grabbed it and held on to it.
"I'm sorry I really don't know what got over me…" she said hiding her confusion of what had made her act that way with him.
"It's all'ight. If you don't mind me sayin', you're back so soon. What has it been, 3 months I believe, and I see you don't have any charges with you…"
"I'm Free," she answered him in a hushed whisper that he might not have heard; she had a twinkle in her eye, not a twinkle of light, but of a tear forming.
