Fran's Voice!

Maxwell Sheffield sits quietly at his desk at about 12:00 in the afternoon. Of corse he is in his office, as he usually is.
Fran sits on the couch in the living room. However she is not so quiet. In fact, she doesn’t think Maxwell is home!
CC left for the theater, so Fran thought he went with her. . .
"Super Trooper beams are gonna blind me, but I won’t feel blue, like I always do, ‘cause somewhere in the crowd there’s you!" a very loud voice sang.
Who do you think it was...hmmmm? Yup! It was Fran!
Maxwell looked up from his paperwork and laughed on the inside, but smiled on the outside.
She ACTUALLY sounded REALLY good! She was in tune and everything!
Fran was singing songs from "Mama Mia" because that was the new play Maxwell was reviving.
He had been auditioning actors and actresses all week. Even Maggie had tried out! (If Fran never showed up those five years ago the poor child would have never opened up and had the guts to do that!)
Maxwell also tried out for a part! That was even more surprising than Maggie trying out! The people who judged them thought they were both GREAT singers and they both got the parts the wanted. Maxwell was to be Sam Carmichael. (One of the possible dads). Maggie was to be Sophie! The main character! All of the other parts were to be played by the rest of the cast that Maxwell had used for ALL of his other performances.
The only other one single solitary part that was left was the part of Donna. (Sophie’s mom)
Maxwell’s head was spinning like clock work he was thinking so hard. He listened some more.
"I work all night, I work all day to pay the bill’s I have to pay...and still there never seems to be a single penny left for me...money, money, money must be funny, in a rich man’s world..." came the voice of an angel. She sang it perfectly.
Maxwell made up his mind. She was the one! The one for the part AND the one for him!
She put another song on. . .This time it was S.O.S . . (for those of you who don’t know, this song starts with a man...actually it was Sam, which is the man that Max is playing the role of)
Max recognized the beginning of the song. He got up from behind his desk and went through the double doors and stood on top of the three stairs near the piano.
He started singing his part!
"Where are those happy days?. . ."
Fran gasped as she saw the man she was in love with in the afternoon light. He looked stunning! Breathtaking, really!
When it was Fran’s turn to sing, nothing came out! Except for another gasp as he came closer. A tear rolled down her cheek, she had never seen him like this. He walked over to her CD player and lowered the music so he could talk with her. She was almost in tears by the time he sat next to her on the couch. There was nothing she could say, except for "Wow!".
After she caught her breath and calmed down she could talk.
"I’m sorry Mr. Sheffield...um...I didn’t think you were home?! I didn’t think any one was...I’m really sorry if I interrupted your work..."
before she could say any more he had his index finger to her lips.
"Shhhhh...it’s ok, I enjoyed it! Miss Fine you have an AMAZING voice! Where did it come from and why have you been hiding it all this time?"
"I...I really don’t know?! I guess I never got the chance to express myself like that..."
"Well I’m assuming you enjoy the play "Mama Mia"?"
"Yes, very much so!"
"And I assume you know that I’m reviving it?"
"Yes? Why?"
"Well the only part we haven’t filled is the mother of Sophie...Donna...and I think you are PERFECT for the part!"
"Oh My God! You really think so?"
"Yes! And guess who is playing Sophie?...Margaret!"
"Really? Maggie? That’s great! I knew she had it in her!"
"So do you accept the part?"
"Oh! Yes! Definitely!"
"And guess who you will be in love with in the play?"
"Ummmm...do I know him personally? hmmm...wait why would you be telling me this?"
He looked at her with his eyes of blue and smiled. Then She knew!
"YOU!! Oh My God! That’s so great!"
"I love you!"
"I love you, too!"
"You know, Fran, we get married at the end of the play...what do you say if we make that a reality?"
Fran started to cry. Max wiped a tear from her cheek. He kissed her forehead. She looked up at him as he pulled a small black, velvet box from his pocket.
"My darling, Fran. I love you so much, with all of my heart. Will you marry me?"
"Oh Maxwell! Yes! Of course I’ll marry you! I love you so much!"
"I love you, too sweetheart!"
4 months later
Max thought, "The performances are going very well. Everyone sounds great! Especially my Fran!"
It was the last scene before the final performance would be over and Fran’s great experience would end. She had so much fun. She felt like she belonged there. On stage. Who would have thought, Fran Fine (soon to be Sheffield) , with the most nasal voice could have a singing voice that came from out of the blue? It was indeed amazing! Maggie’s was also amazing! Both women did an extraordinary job! Maxwell also did very well. His singing voice caught everyones attention. You couldn’t hear one bit of accent in there! Every one loved the play and Sheffield/Babcock Production’s got a five star rating! (No it was not Fran on the t.v screen this time...1.18 Sunday in the Park With Fran)
That same night, after the last performance, Fran and Max were married in the Rainbow Room. With everyone as witnesses.
Well everyone knows what happened after the wedding, so nothing’s different with that.
I needed to throw this song in here because it fit so well. It’s called "I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do". Also from "Mama Mia".
SAM:
I can't conceal itDon't you see?
Can't you feel it?
GIRLS (Pause):
: Say I do, I do, I do, I do, I do
SAM:
Donna, let's try it.
You love me, don't deny it.
GIRLS:
Say I do?
DONNA (Pause):
: I do, I do, I do, I do, I do:
GIRLS:
Oh, I've been dreaming through my lonely past
Now I've just made it
I found you at last
So come on
Now let's try it
I love you
Can't deny it
'Cause it's true
I do, I do, I do, I do, I do
Oh, no hard feelings between you and me
If we can't make it
We just wait and see
So come on now, let's try it
I love you, can't deny it
'Cause it's true, I do, I do, I do, I do, I do
Love me or leave me
Make your choice but believe me
I love you, I do, I do, I do, I do, I do
I can't conceal it
Don't you see, can't you feel it?
Don't you too? I do, I do, I do, I do, I do
The End
