Chapter 4, Molding the Minis
During the time Governor Peter was away, Taffia had a lot of fun with the minis. She presented them with their new play clothes, which excited the minis, for as they had never seen anything else other than their gray confederate uniforms, and were excited, to get to wear comfortable clothes. She took them to fun places, like restaurants, the park, and to a ranch where they got to ride horses. When they went for picnics in the park, Taffia would bring along her guitar, and started teaching them all about, the sound of music.
"Let's start at the very beginning, a very good place to start. When you read you begin with." Sang Taffia.
"A B C." Sang Kimi.
"When you sing you begin with Doe Ray Me. The first three notes when you sing are Doe Ray Me." Sang Taffia.
"Doe Ray Me." Sang the minis.
"Do Ray Me Fa So La…" Sang Taffia, who stopped in the middle, realizing she was getting way ahead of herself.
"Oh, let me see if I can make this easier." Said Taffia, as she strummed her guitar again, and sang the Doe Ray Me song in its entirety.
Then, Taffia went on to explain how each sound had a different note, and how you could mix them up.
"So Doe La Fa Me Doe Ray. So Doe La Tea Doe Ray Doe." Sang Taffia.
"But it doesn't mean anything." Said Tommy.
"Then we add in words, like this." Explained Taffia.
"When you know the notes to sing, you can sing most anything." Sang Taffia.
"When you know the notes to sing, you can sing most anything." Sang the minis in unison.
They continued to sing the Doe Ray Me song, as they played that afternoon, and into the evening.
The next day, Taffia decided to open up another world to the minis. With how strict their lives had been, they were never really able to gain any hobbies, so she asked a question, that was quite startling to these soldier like minis, as she continued to mold them into young children.
"What are your favorite things?" Taffia asked.
"Favoritest things? G taffia, I don't know!" Replied Chuckie.
"You know, favoritest things, like gumdrops and cookies, and mud pies and wormies." Explained Taffia.
Gumdrops and cookies and mud pies and wormies,
Reptar and dollies, and comfortable jammies,
Playing on see-saws and swinging on swings,
These are a few of my favoritest things.
When I fall down, when I'm called names, when I'm feeling bad,
I simply remember my favoritest things, and well then I feel, so glad.
They continued to sing songs together, and enjoy one another's company, as the minis finally got to experience something they had never known before, childhood. In fact, the days had gone by so quickly, that before Taffia and the minis realized it, Governor Peter, would be returning.
So, how would things go once Governor Peter returned? Would things go back to the way they use to be? We'll find out, in the next chapter, and at this time, I'm not sure when it will be released.
Author's Note: I feel so far, this story is turning out kind of lame, but what do you all think? Should I continue it? Or scrap it entirely. Please let me know in a review how I'm doing with my parody of The Sound of Music, and meanwhile, I will think about if I am going to continue the story or not at a later time.
