Marie's Solstice: Bonus Material

One of the things I enjoy about watching movies on DVD, are the
commentaries and other stuff that provides insight into how the movie
was created.

I think it's important for my readers to get the same feel, about
what's involved when I write.

With that in mind, here are the thoughts I had written down when I
started 'Marie's Solstice', and two scenes that were removed from
'Chains of Freedom', then replaced.

The first scene was removed because it was out of character, and
inappropriate to the situation.

The second scene suffered from being out of character also, in that it
was 'too malicious in tone', (as was the first scene cut)

As far as the early working notes are concerned, they were all worked
in, in some way, although there were various changes during the
process.

Final scene will be a double wedding, done in 'Traditional
Rabelaisian' style, with the vows given by Lady Chrystal.

At some point, it will come out that Marie's school district has been
selected as the first schools to host the kids of Rabelaisians who are
living on Earth.

Mrs. Ross, will have passed some sort of test by being so accepting of
power during that day Vix did her thing, and will be offered a chance
to learn how to use power by going back in time for as long as she
needs, or offered dual citizenship and the chance to spend time on
Rabelaisia, getting her Rabelaisian teacher's cert.

, so I went over to Ted's dad.  "I'm sorry.  Ted and I just met,
really, and I don't know your names."

He laughed.  "Tyrone and Michelle.  Friends and family call us Ty and
Mickey.  We've already had some time to talk to your parents, Marie."

"Thanks, Ty.  I bet you're the one who taught Ted how to put himself
in his music, right?"

"Obviously."

I waved at what was going on around us.  "Good.  Have you ever...
Wanted to tell the people of the whole world how petty and self
seeking they can be, then tell them there is another way to look at
the world?"

He studied me, then looked around before he looked at his wife and
they smiled at each other, before he returned to watching me
attentively.  "What do you have in mind?"

I put on my most winsome and innocent look, and my dad groaned.  I
spoke without looking at him.  "Payback, father.  You two had your
fun.  Now...  I think it's time to get serious again.  Ty?  Surely you
can improvise something suitable.  You know...  A solo performance?
For me?"

He studied me, then looked at Lady Chrystal.  "What about you,
Ambassador?"

"I am an alien.  Any viewpoint I present would be...  Inaccurate, even
at its best."

"I begin to see...  For this young...  Vixen's Journeywoman, I will
see what I can do to grant her wish."

He rosined his bow carefully, then stood and nodded at each of us
before he raised his violin to his shoulder, and touched bow to
instrument to make sure it was tuned as he wished it.

Ted was looking at me with horror in his eyes.  "I can't believe you
just did that!"

"I am a Bard, Theodore.  I do what I must, to fulfill my duty to my
people, the human race.  All I can do, is hope that I use the tools I
have available for that task, wisely.  If you continue on the path you
have freely chosen, you will find yourself making the same decisions.
Do you wish to stop walking this path?  You may step off of it at any
time, and none of us will think the lesser of you for your wisdom."

He flushed, then sighed.  "I gave my word.  I will continue to walk
it."

We were interrupted by a discordant musical screech that caused people
to turn and stare at Ty in disbelief.

It was followed by a performance that I know I will never forget. He'd
insisted he would never be the best fiddler in the world, but for that
place and time, he was perfect, and the world saw it happen.

He closed his eyes and made the music imitate the incessant nattering
of the reporters around us, then he dismissed that contemptously, and
somehow made his contempt for those who lived passively, always taking
without giving, obvious.

Then, suddenly, he switched to a medley that took us through our
history, to the present, including some of the songs currently popular
with the kids.

When he was nearing the end of a popular hit, he opened his eyes and
gazed off at something only he could see, before he looked at his
family, and smiled.  "Staue of Liberty.  Ambassador?  Would you...
Create a vision of her for us?  One that can be seen by the world, and
not just the people here?"

"Something can be arranged.  Marie.  I need you as a mare, please."

I shifted, she nodded, and suddenly Julie was garbed in a flowing robe
and a crown we all recognized.  Lady Chrystal waited for Julie to
recover, then gestured at me

"Your noble steed awaits you, Mother of Exiles.  Ted?  If you would
help her mount before you join your father?"

He swallowed nervously, helped Julie into the saddle, then went to
stand next to his father while Lady Chrystal handed Julie a familiar
looking torch, that glowed with an inner fire

Lady Chrystal smiled up at Julie and spoke easily.  "Julie, would you
permit me to sing your part while you pose for us?  It would be an
honor I will treasure as long as I live."

"Umm...  I..."

I hissed at her.  "Say yes, you idiot!"

"Yes, Lady Chrystal.  It is we humans, who are honored by your
choice."

Lady Chrystal nodded her acceptance, then walked over to stand next to
Mickey without saying anything.  When the melody started, her voice
rose with Mickey's, and the tones of the fiddle and mouth organ.

I moved to stand behind them, then whispered to Julie again after I
arched my neck and stood as proudly as I knew how.  "Pose, girl!"

"Others?"

I looked at the now ashen faced man.  "I am a Bard, Sir.  I am aware.
Remember that."

I sighed.  "I cannot wait for you, Roberta, becasue we are late."

It was her turn to sigh.  "I understand, Marie.  I will arrive when I
arrive."

I turned and moved to rejoin Ted.  "Briskly, love."

"Yeah."

When we neared the park he spoke thoughtfully.  "Maybe you should have
done something dramatic, instead of being...  A Bard."

I laughed.  "Would you have done it differently, if you had the
skills?"

"Of course not, unless you count hoping that he didn't discover he had
nothing to sell, until he thought he was safe."

"He was only the most clumsy about it."

"There were others?"

I spoke matter of factly.  "Of course."

His laughter doubled him over.

After he recovered, he looked at the park and sighed.  "Time, Love."

"Yes.  'Scarborough Fair', again?"

"Until I can write something of our own, it will do."

I shifted, he got on my back, settled, then began to play.

This time, I ambled while I sang, instead of prancing my way into our
future.
