A/N: As far as I know the mother died 4 years prior to the play. "Who said that every wish could be heard and answered when wished on the morning star?" – Rainbow Connection Marta (Age 7) When people warn you about the quiet ones, Marta was the prime example about what they are talking about. She didn't demand much, she didn't run around and cause trouble like others do at that young of age. Even at the age of four, she'd been mostly left to her own devices by the other governesses' because she rarely did anything bad. In fact, compared to Louisa, one might even say she was an angel. Only her siblings knew the truth. Most of Louisa's pranks were improved by Marta. She didn't know it at the age of four but when she was five she had figured it out. Of course, this meant that Louisa got all the attention and to be honest when you're young and ignored, you want any kind of attention from someone whether it be good or bad. When you're four years old and are ignored you tend to do certain things to get attention. So sometimes, just sometimes she would do something that people would consider bad.

And the governess would pay attention to her and only her for just a little while. If the governess wasn't available it would fall to Liesl, and Marta learned to get into trouble when the governess was busy with other problems, usually between Louisa and Kurt. She liked Liesl more than the governesses because Liesl actually tried to make time for them and she actually cared about what Marta was doing. She treasured nights when Gretl slept soundly because it meant that Liesl would sneak into their room, the room she had to share with Brigitta and Louisa, and talk to them. After they talked it came time for Marta's favorite part, that is if it wasn't too late at night, storytelling. They would all pile into Louisa's bed and Liesl would tell them stories that she had heard or read. The best ones though she would make up. Marta always loved those the most because if she wanted to add ideas like pink elephants or shining knights Liesl would always include them. One story that really stuck with her was that of a wish that had come true for a young girl on a falling star and since then she had looked to the sky to find one.

That particular story had been one of the ones that Liesl had made up. She loved those nights when Liesl came around and when she searched the sky at night she knew what she was going to wish for. When Marta realized that by making the governesses leave made it so Liesl had less time to spend with her, she stopped talking to Louisa. She had figured out that Louisa had been talking to her to get better ideas to drive the governesses away; she had stopped talking to Louisa. She was stubborn at the age of five and had managed to barely speak to Louisa for six months. Without her, the governess that was currently watching them had stayed. Beyond the fact that Liesl had managed to spend more time with them she didn't remember much about the governess at that time. None of the older kids liked to talk about it much afterward but from what she could piece together over the past two years was enough to convince her she was better off not remembering. What she did remember with clarity was the reason she had begun to talk to Louisa again.

xxxx It had been a week since Liesl had come to their room, so Marta decided to brave the dark scary hallway to knock on Liesl's door. In the dark, she had been unable to see where she was going and tripped into a vase which broke just outside of the door. The sound was so loud she had to cover her ears, Liesl was the first to the scene followed shortly by Louisa and Brigitta, Kurt and Friedrich just moments behind them. Gretl had miraculously stayed asleep. The governess was the last to arrive and demanded to know who broke the vase. Marta remembered because Liesl had held her closer than she could remember, and then Louisa stepped in front of her, her entire body shaking. "It was me," Louisa had said the tremor in her voice, that alone terrified Marta. "Is she telling the truth?" The scary governess asked turning to Brigitta. "Answer me," she barked causing the younger children to flinch. "I didn't see anything," Brigitta had admitted. "I doubt that it was Louisa," The lady had said.

"But if you insist." She advanced forward on Louisa, and suddenly Marta had lost Liesl's arms around her as they were replaced by Friedrich's. "I told her to do it," Liesl told the governess, Marta watched as Liesl shoved Louisa behind her. "So if you have to punish anyone, punish me." The governess looked Liesl up and down with an expression on her face that Marta didn't like, "I should have known it was you." She took Liesl by the ear, Marta was about to protest when Louisa covered her mouth, held by Friedrich and Louisa she was unable to say anything as Liesl was taken to one of the empty bedrooms. She didn't see Liesl for the rest of the night although she stayed up pressing her ear to their bedroom door until morning, she had gotten really worried and asked Friedrich about it. He assured her Liesl would be around in a day. Friedrich was tasked with taking care of Gretl until Liesl returned but Gretl wouldn't have it. Marta, along with her sisters, stepped in managed to calm Gretl down. It wasn't a day but rather three days later when Marta saw Liesl again.

Liesl was unable so speak, except in what seemed to be painful whispers. The minute Marta understood that Liesl was suffering; she had gone off to find Louisa. This governess needed to be gone. After the governess was gone Marta had told Liesl not come to their room to tell stories anymore. She didn't want to be responsible for getting Liesl into trouble again, ever if she could help it. That night and every night since that event, she had wished not for Liesl to come to their room but for all of them just to be happy. Over the span of the next two years the memories of the nights when Liesl would come to tell stories would fade and not reappear again, not until Maria showed up. And it wasn't until Maria came into their lives that she truly learned how much her silence had cost them. < Prev Next > The author would like to thank you for your continued support.

Maria : I can't ask him to be less than he is.

Captain von Trapp : It's the dress. You'll have to put on another one before you meet the children. Maria : But I don't have another one. When we entered the abbey our worldly clothes were given to the poor. Captain von Trapp : What about this one? Maria : The poor didn't want this one. Maria : I can't seem to stop singing wherever I am. And what's worse, I can't seem to stop saying things - anything and everything I think and feel. Mother Abbess : Some people would call that honesty. Maria : Oh, but it's terrible, Reverend Mother. Maria : Kurt, how are you? Kurt : Hungry. Maria : When the Lord closes a door, somewhere He opens a window. Maria : There were times when we would look at each other - oh Mother, I could hardly breathe. Maria : Gretl, what happened to your finger? Gretl : It got caught. Captain von Trapp : Now, when I want you, this is what you will hear. [blows whistle] Maria : Oh, no, sir. I'm sorry, sir. I could never answer to a whistle.

Whistles are for dogs and cats and other animals, but not for children and definitely not for me. It would be too... humiliating. Captain von Trapp : Fraulein, were you this much trouble at the Abbey? Maria : Oh, much more, sir. [starts walking away. Maria blows her whistle & he turns around] Maria : Excuse me, sir. I don't know your signal Captain von Trapp : Maria, there isn't going to be any Baroness anymore. Maria : I don't understand. Captain von Trapp : Well, we called off our engagement, you see, and... Maria : Oh, I'm sorry. Captain von Trapp : Yes. You are? Maria : Mm-hmm. You did? Captain von Trapp : Yes. Well, you can't marry someone when you're in love with someone else... can you? Captain von Trapp : Fraulein Maria, did I or did I not say that bedtime is to be strictly observed in this household? Maria : Yes, well the children were scared of the thunderstorm and... You did, sir. Captain von Trapp : And do you or do you not have trouble following these simple instructions?

Maria : Only during thunderstorms, sir. Maria : [singing] Silver white winters that melt into springs, these are a few of my favorite things Liesl : How else are we supposed to get Father's attention? Brigitta : Yes.

Well, lately I've taken to kissing the floor whenever I see her coming, just to save time. Maria : Why didn't you children tell me you could dance? Kurt : We were afraid you'd make us all dance together. The von Trapp Family dancers. [spins] Maria : I taught them something to sing for the Baroness. Marta : I'm Marta, and I'm going to be seven on Tuesday, and I'd like a pink parasol. Maria : Well, pink's my favorite color, too. Louisa von Trapp : I'm Brigitta. Maria : You didn't tell me how old you are... Louisa. Brigitta : I'm Brigitta, she's Louisa. She's thirteen years old, and you're smart!

I'm ten, and I think your dress is the ugliest one I ever saw! Captain von Trapp : Now, Fraulein. I want a truthful answer from you. Maria : Yes, Captain? Captain von Trapp : Is it possible - or could I have just imagined it - have my children by any chance been climbing trees today? Captain von Trapp : Oh, is that what you call them? Maria : I made them. From the drapes that used to hang in my bedroom. Captain von Trapp : Drapes? Maria : They still have plenty of wear left. The children have been everywhere in them. Captain von Trapp : Do you mean to tell me that my children have been roaming about Salzburg dressed up in nothing but some old drapes? Maria : Mmm-hmmm. And having a marvelous time! Friedrich von Trapp : I'm Friedrich. I'm fourteen. I'm impossible! Maria : [laughing] Really? Who told you that, Friedrich? Friedrich von Trapp : Fraulein Josephine, four governesses ago. Maria : [saying her bed time prayers] I forgot the other boy. Oh, what's his name?

Oh, well, God bless What's-his-name. Maria : [Friedrich and Kurt run into Maria's room during a thunderstorm] You boys weren't scared, too, were you? Friedrich von Trapp : No. We just wanted to be sure that you weren't. Maria : That was very thoughtful of you, Friedrich. Friedrich von Trapp : It wasn't my idea. It was Kurt's. Maria : Kurt! That's the one I left out. God bless Kurt! The Baroness : My dear, is there anything you can't do? Maria : Well, I'm not sure I'll make a very good nun. The Baroness : If you have any problems, I'll be happy to help you. [first lines] Maria : [singing] The hills are alive with the sound of music / With songs they have sung for a thousand years. / The hills fill my heart with the sound of music. / My heart wants to sing every song it hears. Captain von Trapp : I don't care to hear anything further from you about my children. Maria : I am not finished yet! Captain von Trapp : Oh, yes, you are, Captain!

[pauses] Captain von Trapp : Fraulein. Maria : What is it? Captain von Trapp : Berlin. They've offered me a commission. I've been requested to accept immediately and report to their naval base at Bremerhaven tomorrow. Maria : I knew this would happen. I didn't think it would be so soon. Captain von Trapp : To refuse them would be fatal for all of us. And joining them would be unthinkable. Maria : I'd like to thank you all for the precious gift you left in my pocket today. Maria : It's meant to be a secret between the children and me. Captain von Trapp : Then I suggest you keep it, and let us eat. Maria : Knowing how nervous I must have been, a stranger in a new household, knowing how important it was for me to feel accepted, it was so kind and thoughtful of you to make my first moments here so warm and happy and pleasant. Maria : Dear Father, now I know why You sent me here. To help these children prepare for a new mother. And I pray this will become a happy family in Thy sight. God bless the captain. God bless Liesl and Friedrich.

God bless Louisa, Brigitta, Marta and little Gretl. And I forgot the other boy. What's his name? Well, God bless what's-his-name. God bless the Reverend Mother and Sister Margaretta and everybody at the abbey. And now, dear God, about Liesl. Help her know that I'm her friend and help her tell me what she's been up to. Liesl : Are you going to tell on me? Maria : Help me to be understanding so I may guide her footsteps. In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. Liesl : I was out walking and somebody locked the doors early. I didn't want to wake everybody, so when I saw your window open. You're not going to tell Father, are you? Maria : How in the world did you climb up here? Liesl : It's how we always got in to play tricks on the governess. Louisa can make it with a whole jar of spiders in her hand. Maria : Spiders? Liesl, were you out walking all by yourself? If we wash that dress tonight, nobody would notice it tomorrow. You could put this on.

Take your dress and put it to soak in the bathtub. Come back here and sit on the bed, and we'll have a talk. Liesl : I told you today I didn't need a governess. Well, maybe I do. Maria : I'd like to thank each and every one of you for the precious gift you left in my pocket today. Captain von Trapp : They haven't complained yet. Maria : Well, they wouldn't dare! They love you too much. They *fear* you too much! Captain von Trapp : I don't wish you to discuss my children in this manner. Maria : Well, you've got to hear from someone! You're never home long enough to know them. Captain von Trapp : I said I don't want to hear anymore from you about my children! Maria : I know you don't, but you've got to! Now, take Liesl. Captain von Trapp : [hesitatingly] You will not say one word about Liesl, Fraulein. Maria : She's not a child anymore, and one of these days, you're going to wake up and find that she's a woman. You won't even know her.

And Friedrich, he's a boy, but he wants to be a man and there's no one to show him how. Captain von Trapp : Don't you dare tell me about my son. Maria : Brigitta could tell you about him if you let her get close to you. She notices everything. Marta : Why doesn't father turn the motor on? Kurt : [agitated] Because he doesn't want anybody to hear us! Captain von Trapp : Shh! Louisa von Trapp : What will Frau Schmidt and Franz said when they discover we're gone? Captain von Trapp : They'll be able to answer truthfully they didn't know anything about it if anyone asks them. Captain von Trapp : Someday, Liesl. I do hope someday. Gretl : Are Father and Uncle Max going to push the car all the way to Switzerland? Maria : Shh! Maria : Reverend Mother, I'm sorry. I couldn't help myself. -The hills were beckoning and... the sky was so blue today... and everything was so green and fragrant, I had to be a part of it. The Untersberg led me higher like it wanted me to go through the clouds.

Mother Abbess : Suppose darkness had come and you were lost? Maria : Mother, I could never be lost up there. That's my mountain. I was brought up on it. It was the mountain that led me to you. When I was a child, I would come down and climb a tree... and look in your garden. I'd see the sisters at work and hear them sing... Which brings me to another transgression, Reverend Mother. I was singing out there today. Mother Abbess : Only in the abbey do we have rules about postulants singing. Maria : I can't stop wherever I am. Worse, I can't seem to stop saying things. Everything I think and feel. The Sound of Music Live! (2013) (TV) Captain Von Trapp : Before you meet the children, you will put on another dress. Maria Rainer : I haven't any other dress. When we enter the abbey, our worldly clothes are given to the poor. I Will Love You Till The End of Time I Will Love You Till The End of Time Chapter 1 l a u r e n l u v e r (A/N: Age is very delicate part of this story.

So, their ages will not exactly be mentioned till later, but they're all pretty young.... Also, the Sound of Music took place in 1938, well in this story it did not) Captain America was visiting a base in Italy. Performing, getting made fun of, and finding out his best friend was captured behind enemy lines. Steve was packing up in a tent and Peggy Carter came in. "Are you just going to walk to Austria?" She asked him. "If I have to." He replied. Before Peggy could say anything else a girl came in. "Peggy? Oh! Peggy!" The girl was freaking out. She had a European accent, brown hair, blue eyes, and she was dressed in commando pants, a tank top, boots, and a leather jacket. "What's wrong Liesl?" Peggy. "My father went on the search and rescue mission and he hasn't come back!" She explained. Peggy nodded. "I'm going to that base now to get my friend. I'll free your father too. Who is he?" Steve asked Liesl. "He's Captain von Trapp." She told him. "Captain?" His eyes widened. Liesl nodded.

Steve continued to pack up and then Liesl came up with an idea. "Let me come with." She exclaimed. "What?! No!" Steve practically yelled. "My father taught me to fight and the base is in Austria, I know the landscape better than anyone." She tried. "German?" He asks. "No! Austrian!" She answered. Steve looked to Peggy and she nodded. "Are you sure? I'm serious, I don't think you should come with. It'll be dangerous." He tried to unconvinced her one last time. "I'm a girl, not dumb. I'm sure. I know you don't want me to come, so I mean would you rather I tell all six of siblings, which includes an eight year old girl, about this little trip. Cause you know they'll want to come." Liesl told him and Peggy smiled behind her. Steve groaned then said, "Fine." Liesl smiled and left the tent leaving Peggy and Steve alone. "Agent Carter, I was thinking, if this doesn't take too long, you and I can stop downtown for a late night fondue?" Howard Stark asked. Liesl rolled her eyes at him.

Peggy sighed and turned to her and Steve, "Howard is the best civilian pilot I've ever seen, he's mad enough to brave this air space, we are lucky to have him." "So are you two... Do you... Fondue?" Steve awkwardly got out. Peggy and Liesl rolled their eyes at the exact same time. "Activate this when you're ready and the signal will lead us straight to you." Peggy ordered handing him a transponder. All of sudden explosives of all kind we're being shot at the plane. Steve lunged for the door and Liesl then followed. "We're not all the way in yet!" Peggy yelled. Steve opened the door and him and Liesl got ready to jump. "As soon as we're clear, turn this thing around and get the hell out of here!" Steve yelled back. He pushed Liesl in front of him and she jumped out. "You must obey orders!" She yelled. "The hell I can! I'm a Captain!" After that statement he was gone. Liesl, actually, proved to be an asset as she lead him through the Austrian woods. They arrived to a road and saw a truck passing by.

He took her hand and he pulled them into the back. Two soldiers were sitting there staring down at them and Steve nodded saying, "Fellas." Not too long after that the men were thrown out the back. "Wow, you're good at fighting." Steve whispered to Liesl and she slightly smiled. They waited in the back waiting for the ride to be over. Steve looked at her contemplating how could someone like her be able to fight almost better than anyone he had ever seen. "Stop looking at me." She whispered grinning. He grinned back. The truck suddenly came to a stop and Steve held up his shield pulling Liesl behind him. Another soldier pulled back the tarp, and Steve hit him with his shield knocking him out. Liesl nodded appreciatively. They snuck into the base and carefully walked around. Liesl was constantly pushed either in front of Steve or behind him. They came across a table that was covered in bottle of some sort of blue thing. "Take one." Liesl whispered. Steve gave her a wide eyed looked and she nodded. He picked one up and pocketed it, so they continued. They finally got near where all the men were being kept. There was soldier guarding them, of course.

Liesl gave him a pretty hard kick and Steve finished it off by hitting him with his shield. Liesl picked up the keys and one of the men called up, "Who are you supposed to be?" "I'm Captain America." He replied nervously and Liesl gave him a smirk as she handed him the keys. They got down to the men and started freeing them. They all gathered around the two and Steve got information about Bucky. "And Captain von Trapp?" Liesl asked. Dugan pointed down the hall to the farthest cell. "Alright, get outta here as fast as you can. I'll meet you in the clearing with anyone else I find." Steve ordered. He turned to Liesl and handed her the keys. "Good luck." She whispered. "You too." He said as he turned to run to get Bucky. Before he could, though, some asked, "Do you know what you're doing? Steve just nodded and said, "I've knocked out Hitler over 200 times." Liesl ran to her father's cell. He sat all by himself in the corner, he looked beaten up, and he was humming to himself.

"Are you humming the Edelweiss song?" Liesl asked as she unlocked the door. He turned to her and his face brightened up. "Liesl? What are you doing here?" He asked confused. "Saving you. Come on." She told him helping him up. They ran outside following the men and the Captain blocked Liesl from gun fire as they ran as fast as they could to the clearing while the other soldiers took their weapons and tanks. Liesl sat on low branch to keep an eye on her father, also so he could keep an eye on her, and keep watch. They sat silently watching the fighting and waiting for Steve. Liesl saw two men approaching the group and she jumped down from her spot in the tree. "Steve?!" She called. "Liesl!" He jogged up to her. Before Steve could ask her if she was okay, she beat him to it, "Are you okay?" "Um... Yeah.... I'm fine. Why do you care?" He smiled. "I don't. We don't need my father's hero dead, though." "On the contrary, miss. You're your father's hero, you're the one who freed him." Bucky then cleared his throat.

"Oh! Liesl, this Sergeant James Buchanan Barnes. Bucky, this is Liesl von Trapp." Steve introduced. Bucky shook hands with her and asked, "The Captain's daughter?" She nodded and added with a smile, "His eldest daughter." "LIESL!" Her father barked and Liesl marched away. "You do not know what you're getting yourself into." Bucky laughed. Steve rolled his eyes and pulled out his transponder. It was broken. "We will walk to the base!" Steve yelled and started to lead the group. Captain von Trapp and Liesl marched to the front. "Did you allow my daughter to come with you?" He suddenly asked Steve. "Yes I did sir." Steve replied. He turn to Liesl who was looking at her boots. "Why?" the Captain asked sharply. "She asked me to. I didn't want her to go, but she convinced me to let her and she threatened to tell her six siblings, including the youngest. She knew they would want to come, she knew I'd rather risked her life than all seven of them. It was the only way to protect the rest of your family." Steve explained. The Captain nodded.

The Captain was still mad, but seemed to ease up a little. "So, Louisa put the toad in the governess's bed and once she gets in, she screams at the top of her lungs that she quits!" Liesl finished laughing. "So, I had to come home to find a new governess." The Captain added. Bucky and Steve were laughing so hard their stomachs hurt. "That's the only reason we really did it. We wanted father to come home. But, once we had Maria as our governess.... Basically, she let us play and have fun. She taught us to sing and everything. All the other governesses just followed the rules. I think that's why father fell in love with her." Liesl told them. The Captain smiled, but quickly frowned when he saw the smile on Steve's face while he was looking at Liesl. Liesl may have been a little annoying when they met, but once he got to know her, she became a funny, strong, and beautiful woman. They men, and Liesl, came to the base and everyone froze and rushed at them. Everyone was congratulating Steve and reuniting with friends.

"Liesl?!" A woman called and ran up to them. "Georg!" The woman practically shouted and hugged the Captain. "Steve, Bucky, this is my mother, Maria." Liesl introduced with a laugh. Soon six kids joined Maria and ran up to Liesl. They all bombarded Liesl and the Captain with hugs. "Kids, fall in!" the Captain ordered. The kids all lined up in order and Maria rolled her eyes at this. "Georg-" She started but he cut her off. "This is a military base, I just want them to introduce themselves." She nodded. "INTRODUCTIONS!" He ordered, since he didn't have his whistle anymore. "Liesl." " Gretl ." "I have a question!" Gretl said. "What is that?" Maria asked sweetly. "Why am I always last?" Gretl asked. The kids all giggled and Liesl bent down and told her, "Because you're the youngest." Gretl giggled at this. "Why don't you and Marta go back to playing!" Liesl told her. Gretl nodded and pulled Marta away. "Um...

Bucky, why don't you go with Louisa to get yourself checked out." Liesl told him and he nodded. "Right this way." Louisa directed and as she walked away, she gave Liesl a glare. "By the way, that was adorable." Steve told Liesl. "What?" She asked turning around. "Your sister, Gretl." He told her. She nodded with a smile. "Flirting will get you nowhere." Brigitta suddenly said. "BRIGITTA!" Liesl chided. "It's true." Friedrich then said standing next to Liesl and Kurt joined him. "Well, I should go. Peggy looks mad." Liesl said leaving.

Captain von Trapp : It's the dress. You'll have to put on another one before you meet the children. Maria : But I don't have another one. When we entered the abbey our worldly clothes were given to the poor. Captain von Trapp : What about this one? Maria : The poor didn't want this one. Max : I hope you appreciate the sacrifice I'm making. Captain von Trapp : You have no choice. Max : I know... That's why I'm making it. Captain von Trapp : Oh, there's nothing wrong with the children. Only the governesses. Captain von Trapp : You brought music back into the house. I had forgotten. Captain von Trapp : The first rule of this household is discipline. Herr Zeller : Perhaps those who would warn you that the Anschluss is coming - and it is coming, Captain - perhaps they would get further with you by setting their words to music. Captain von Trapp : If the Nazis take over Austria, I have no doubt, Herr Zeller, that you will be the entire trumpet section. Herr Zeller : You flatter me, Captain.

Captain von Trapp : Oh, how clumsy of me - I meant to accuse you. Herr Zeller : I've not asked you where you and your family are going. Nor have you asked me why I am here. Captain von Trapp : Well, apparently, we're both suffering from a deplorable lack of curiosity. Max : What's going to happen's going to happen. Just make sure it doesn't happen to you. Captain von Trapp : Max. Don't you *ever* say that again. Max : You know I have no political convictions. Can I help it if other people do? Captain von Trapp : Oh yes, you can help it. You must help it. Captain von Trapp : You are the twelfth in a long line of governesses who have come here to look after my children since their mother died. I trust you will be an improvement on the last one. She stayed only two hours. Captain von Trapp : Now, when I want you, this is what you will hear. [blows whistle] Maria : Oh, no, sir. I'm sorry, sir. I could never answer to a whistle.

Whistles are for dogs and cats and other animals, but not for children and definitely not for me. It would be too... humiliating. Captain von Trapp : Fraulein, were you this much trouble at the Abbey? Maria : Oh, much more, sir. [starts walking away. Maria blows her whistle & he turns around] Maria : Excuse me, sir. I don't know your signal Captain von Trapp : Maria, there isn't going to be any Baroness anymore. Maria : I don't understand. Captain von Trapp : Yes. You are? Maria : Mm-hmm. You did? Captain von Trapp : Yes. Well, you can't marry someone when you're in love with someone else... can you? Captain von Trapp : Fraulein Maria, did I or did I not say that bedtime is to be strictly observed in this household? Maria : Yes, well the children were scared of the thunderstorm and... You did, sir. Captain von Trapp : And do you or do you not have trouble following these simple instructions? Maria : Only during thunderstorms, sir. Captain von Trapp : [after pulling the gun from Rolfe] You'll never be one of them.

Rolfe : Lieutenant! Lieutenant, they're here! They're here, Lieutenant! [blows whistle] Captain von Trapp : Um, what gift? Maria : It's meant to be a secret, Captain, between the children and me. Captain von Trapp : Uh-huh. Then I suggest that you keep it, and let us eat.
