| Characters: 1. Bronzy Nickels 2. Baron Bigwig Setting the Scene It takes place in 2024, in Muckety Muck, Wisconsin, a fantastical world in a forest by a lake. Everyone knows each other in town. Bronzy's proficiency in polka dancing was a sight to see. She has a deep connection to the Earth and its resources. She hugged trees for strength, and the animals respected her prayers. If anyone tried to harm her, the animals would be protective of her well-being. Bronzy's passions are filled with sustainability and compassion. Her drive to develop new alloys for electric cars is both efficient and environmentally friendly. Her vision is to see the world prosper in various stages. She always thinks several steps ahead. She is a natural leader. She's an excellent source of inspiration for others in her community. Bronzy is working on a groundbreaking project. She is thirty-one years old. She has a creative vision for the future. She would invent an electric car that never breaks down. If it did break down, the car would do its own repairs. Baron Bigwig is a Chinese Industrialist with incredible talents. He will discover planetary alignments of universal technologies. He is forty-three years old. Huckingville, Indiana, also known as the "Hoosier State", is a small town located in the midwestern region of the United States. It is near a river. Surrounded by farmland, it reflects Indiana's agricultural roots. He is a powerful and influential figure. Attending high school basketball games and county fairs is highly important to him. He loves listening to all the bands performing at the fair. Whenever a basketball player made a basket, especially when it was the team he was rooting for, he shouted out loud. You could see the expression on his face when his team scored a point. When a photo of himself appeared on the television screen, and the spotlight was on him, the emotion was heartfelt. The joy coming from the stadium was contagious; everyone joined in the celebration. Square dancing is fun for Baron. He loves to see the women do their thing. Wearing their square dance dresses, while their skirts fluttered around, was enjoyable for him. They looked dainty in their maneuvering abilities. It was to his advantage to do the allemande lefts to prepare for his meeting with Bronzy. I love these women, Baron would say. Baron is a refined and polished gentleman whom women looked up to; they had to be elegant, swanky, and sophisticated. Their body image would be flawless (they had to have a perfect figure, work out to maintain their physical fitness, and not struggle with communication). If they didn't meet the standards (criteria) for being a woman, there was no place for them in his heart. He looked very stylish in his attire. When it comes to polka dancing, Bronzy has high standards for her craft. The name "Polka" was coined because of the dance's rapid shift from one foot to the other. And, Wow! Her shifting was swift. Her face glowed with anticipation for a better tomorrow. A future filled with desire, hope, faith, and, of course, the perfect gentleman would be absolutely perfect for her. A gentleman would have to be well-mannered, devoted, committed, and stout. The qualities of her inventions would have to be admired. If she invented something above everyone's imagination, she would be the luckiest woman in the world. Her optimism shone in this area. She is a genuine person who cares about people. She admires their ambition to complete the project they have started. Her heart was phenomenal; she believed in achieving the impossible. Would she meet the man of her dreams? Would people gawk in amazement if she came up with something brilliant? She is capable of achieving what no one has believed was possible. When she starts something, she doesn't give up. Her unstoppable energy gives her that driving force. How would she find someone who would fit her expectations? Would this person even exist? In her mind, the ideal man would soon enter her life. The question was, "Would such a man work well with her, or 'Would he end up betraying her?" A devastating and heartbreaking betrayal would destroy her ambitions for inventing things. She didn't need this to happen at this time in her life. If this were to happen, her world would be crushed. In her mind's eye, her thoughts told her not to trust anyone ever again. They would remind her of the terrible losses she had experienced before. When she poured out her heart to those she trusted, she ended up being hurt. She didn't want this to happen to her ever again. Depression would swoop around her like a dark, shadowy cloud. She needs to have a future that brings her sunshine and light. She needed someone special to talk these moments over with and to support her through those trying times. She dreamed of having a man who would consider her needs as well as his own. On January 1, 2024, Baron Bigwig noticed that the planets Earth and Jupiter would be in alignment. This meant higher tides, due to the combined gravitational pull of the two planets. Jupiter is a gas giant, so it doesn't have a solid surface to interact directly with Earth. Stronger tidal forces could emerge. Marine life and coastal regions could be impacted. If Jupiter were close enough, it might interfere with Earth's magnetic field, potentially disrupting satellite communications and navigation systems. Unusual weather patterns or climatic shifts could disrupt Earth's atmosphere. The psychological and cultural impacts of such a rare celestial event could be significant for humanity. It would inspire either fear or a sense of unity. The alignment could provide unique opportunities for scientific research. This would lead to newer discoveries about planetary interactions and the nature of our solar system. Baron had a bright idea! If he could cool the waters' temperament down, the world might be a better place to live in. Creating danger for Earth and Jupiter wasn't such a good idea. They both agreed on this. This would restore peace throughout the land, allowing people to reunite by being friendlier toward one another. War would no longer be a consideration. The question Baron asked himself was, How would I be able to pull this off. It would be great if we could bring Earth and Jupiter together, rather than using their powerful forces to wipe mankind off the Earth. Bronzy experienced a sudden enlightenment, eager to bring her revolutionary idea to life. She pondered the components needed for inventing an electric car that could repair itself when it broke down. What if I used a copper roof for conductivity, nickel wheels for durability, and soft aluminum for comfortable seats?" she mused. "And a touch of Titanium (Ti) on the dashboard? This would add a sleek, futuristic feel." Having an electric car that wouldn't break down and repair itself when it did would be environmentally friendly. It would be an asset to the community. Having a sleek, futuristic design would be marvelous. She was excited about her inventive decision. Thinking about entering a polka dance competition, Bronzy's mind began to roll around. She could relax, and by the swift motion of her feet, new ideas could pop into her head. Her vitality sprang into action; she craved the exhilaration of creating fresh and new ideas. She strongly believed that she was going somewhere with her bright ideas. She was on cloud nine. Once she got started, she would keep on going. Nothing is going to stop me now, she said ecstatically. Meanwhile, Baron heard about Bronzy being enrolled in the polka dance competition. He thought about introducing himself. By considering his square dance professionalism, his expertise in geometry could inspire many different angles to pursue. He could do an allemande left with a four-lady chain across, right on over to Bronzy, with a do-si-do. He would have to think quickly, since the movements with her feet would be swift. He wanted to end up right smack in her arms. He wouldn't want her mad at him right from the get-go. All in the form of the perfect square, he could be angling left and angling right. They could meet right dab in the center. This would be spot on, he thought to himself. What an excellent way to meet someone who would one day be his wife. "It's nice to be meeting you finally", Baron would say. It's phenomenal to have a car that would repair itself when it breaks down. Bronzy was intrigued by his charm and good looks. She was surprised that he knew her. "Well, how do you know who I am?" she said. "I overheard a conversation about you entering the polka dance competition." "I'll be entering the square dance competition, by the way. Can I buy you dinner? We can discuss your idea. We can put our heads together and see what we can come up with." "Sounds like a great idea, she said, "We can surely do this." "Then, we have a date", he said. Yes, I guess we do. I look forward to our first date. This will be exciting, Bronzy told herself. She let out a little giggle. She was excited and nervous at the same time. She didn't know what to expect. After all, he appeared to be a nice gentleman. Bronzy observed Baron sweet-talking with all the ladies; She wondered what she was getting herself into. She figured the ladies would be jealous of him talking to her. Why would he ask me on a date if he had so many prospects out there waiting for him? After all, he wants to be leading her on, only to break her heart. Her disbelief was apparent. She hung her head low. She was seriously thinking about not showing up. She was humiliated to the point of exhaustion. I don't deserve this, she huffed. Why should I trust him? I have been hurt many times. Enough is enough! All the men from her past ended up hurting her with their dishonesty. Bronzy didn't show up for her date. She was so disheartened about Baron, being the way he was, that she decided, "What's the point? He was never serious about working with her, anyway. When Bronzy became a no-show, Baron began to wonder what had happened. He pondered over this for days. I believed things were going well for us. He was excited about the project they would've worked together on. On a whim, he decided to search for her. First, he went down to where the polka dancers were practicing for the competition. Sure enough, she was there. He approached her and asked why she didn't show up for their date. "You mean you have no idea?" she blurted out. He was puzzled by her remark. Remaining cool, he gently asked, "What are you talking about?" She couldn't believe that this was happening to her once again. Her emotions were petrified with the thought of him being with another woman. She kept shaking her head from side to side in shock. The reality of it all blindsided any thought of getting back together with him. Bronzy stood up for herself and abruptly responded, "I came here and saw you intermingling with a bunch of ladies. It's a wonder you even thought of me." Baron was taken aback. He wanted an explanation. She wasn't about to explain yet; She was too angry at him to make a statement or a remark about what she had seen. One month had passed before Baron and Bronzy began to talk. It was during this time that Bronzy decided on a spectacular discovery. She stumbled upon a new element, which she named Nitanium. This discovery was purely accidental, yet the implications were absolutely mind-blowing. Baron Bigwig's mind inconceivably buzzed with feelings of exhilaration. When he thought about a car that could soar above traffic, escaping from traffic congestion, he thought he was a genius. Titanium (Ti) and atomic number 22 were the perfect elements for this ambitious project. Known for its strength and lightweight properties, it is often used in aerospace, medical implants, and various alloys, and it seems destined for this innovation. Excitedly, Baron decided to share the groundbreaking concept with Bronzy. It was an offer that she couldn't refuse. He would convince her that putting their ideas to work would be a great adventure. They would work well as a team. At first, Bronzy was reluctant to share her discovery. After thinking about it for a while, she eventually gave in. Baron was intrigued. They decided to work together on this project. After some research, Baron made a decision. If Jupiter were aligned with the Earth, Bronzy's invention could calm the waters down. In a heartbeat, his alignment would bring the world together, he projected. It would either do that or create much devastation. Having a huge wall of water come down upon the Earth would've killed lots of people. Nitanium is a rare, natural element. Its unique properties would make it highly resistant to corrosion. These capabilities would enable it to withstand extreme temperatures. It would make it valuable for advanced technology or space exploration. Baron came up with a superb idea! He decided to add Titanium, Nickel, and Uranium to the mix. Uranium would be the perfect ingredient for its self-repairing capabilities. On the spur of the moment, the thought of elephants came to mind. "Elephants never forget," he said, "How about adding peanut oil? By adding peanut oil, the car would remember not to break down; instead, it would remember to repair itself. The chassis would be a unibody made of iron." If he added orange juice to the ion battery, it would increase its energy level. It would give it sunshine on those dreary days. This was the first thing Baron thought of. Then, he remembered that adding anything citrusy to an ion battery could be a dreadful mistake. Having a large container of baking soda on hand can prevent a devastating accident, such as an explosion. It would keep everyone safe to have this kind of preventative action. Then, another thought came to his mind. I could add Ferrouranium, also known as ferro-uranium, to make it more robust and durable. It contains about 35-50% Uranium and 1.5-4.0% carbon. It could create a chassis that can withstand various stresses and strains without deforming. Uranium's presence can significantly lower the melting point of iron, which could be useful to the manufacturing process. Baron's first thought was a crazy and wild one. He thought that his idea of putting a 1/4 cup of orange juice, 1/2 cup of peanut oil, and 1/4 cup of water would be superb. These ideas, of course, were reckless choices for him to make. His mind must have been completely harebrained at the time. He knew better than to add citrus or water to an ion battery. Out of sight, out of mind, he put this mixture aside. One day, not remembering what was in it, he picked up a bottle of this mixture, forgetting to put a label on it. Then, he heard a fizzing sound, which startled him. All of a sudden, it dawned on him that he had put the mixture in by accident. This was a huge worry; however, he was prepared and ready to quench the sizzling. He immediately grabbed the container of baking soda. Just then, a happy sound burst out of the engine; it purred like a kitten. It regained an extra amount of energy from the orange juice. The peanut oil wouldn't let it break down. This was a disastrous incident that turned out well. When this happened, he breathed a sigh of relief. Baron contributed this to Bronzy's invention of Nitanium. He shared what happened with Bronzy. Bronzy was elated with excitement when she heard about this. What a relief! they both said at once. Bronzy went polka dancing for her enjoyment. She began putting his ideas toward some of her new ones. She had a great idea when she was doing her fast-stepping moves. She added a sleek design to the Mugmobile. She came up with another bright idea: adding the metal silver would be an excellent choice. It's highly reflective compared to other elements. It has a high electrical and thermal conductivity. Since it's highly resistant to corrosion and oxidation, Baron and Bronzy concluded that adding gold to it was a good idea. In the rural stretch of Muckety Muck, Wisconsin, there is a huge barn underneath a dome; it was built especially for polka dancing, live bands, and karaoke. No alcohol was being served there. Everyone in the community decided to work together to make it a happy place; they agreed that having alcohol would make it an unpleasant place to be around. When someone needed help in the community, they helped each other out. They wanted everyone to feel welcome, as if they were part of a close-knit family having fun together. The lights all around the barn made everyone feel warm and friendly. Naturally, inviting others to join in their celebrations definitely makes the atmosphere warm and inviting. Bronzy invited Baron to do his square dancing moves there. Baron felt upbeat and excited about getting an invitation. Their brainstorming mind developed new ideas. Their polka and square dancing moves made this possible. Putting their maneuvering capabilities to work was a blast. When they were laughing about their projects, it made one wonder what they were up to. A stranger showed up at the barn. This man looked suspicious. The only reason he came to town was to cause trouble. You could tell by the way he represented himself. He was well-known as a spy from a foreign country. Little did they know that their lives were about to change. Putting their maneuvering capabilities to work was a blast. The stranger's name was Mikale Dostoyevsky. The plans that they were working on couldn't be located. This infuriated her. She was perplexed. She was backtracking her steps to where she had been. Then it happened! She blamed Baron for the theft of their project. He swore up and down that he didn't do it. She wouldn't listen to him, even though he was telling the truth. She was totally convinced that he did. It was stuck in her head that he was the one who had stolen their plans. Baron spoke up suddenly: "Do you think that the stranger in town might have taken them?" Things went a rhy after that. Bronzy sat in the car waiting for some encouragement. Instead, she got backlash. The car told her she was incapable of completing her invention. She couldn't figure out why the car was against her; it talked her down. Bronzy, troubled by what the Mugmobile was doing, decided to go along with Baron's suspicion of Mikale Dostoyevsky. After doing some research on him, she found that he was a spy. She was baffled and stunned by the news. She was sorry for the accusations that she had made toward him. She approached Baron to apologize. They needed to come together to develop a plan of action. An amazing thing happened! The car had a plan of its own. It decided to photograph the man who was planning to steal the plans. Bronzy and Baron relaxed in the Mugmobile one fine day. Sure enough, it was none other than Mikale Dostoyevsky. They finally had the proof they needed. How would they get their plans back to Baron and Bronzy? Was this spy a Russian? His name certainly indicated that. Now that the Mugmobile was helping Baron and Bronzy, it told them that their idea was a good one. To pull it out of its depression, the right amount of orange juice and water is what the ion battery needs to give it more energy. It was able to revive itself to a brighter way of thinking. Who would have ever thought of that? The Mugmobile was happy and purred like a kitten. It showed how fond it was of them. Baron and Bronzy ended up not being mad at each other. The plan was underway; they wanted to determine which country Mikale Dostoyevsky was from. He had an accent that was hard to analyze. Hinduism seemed to be the language he was using, they determined. There again, perhaps he could have been from our own country. We need to do our best to find out the facts; this would certainly help in the long run. They both knew that they had their work cut out for them. Getting to the bottom of this is their main focus; it didn't matter how long this would take; they both agreed to solve this case as soon as possible. Baron Bigwig discovered a meteor shower from the planet Neptune that would align with Earth. This will become interesting when the planet Saturn interrupts this alignment. If Earth passes through the debris left by comets or asteroids, the meteor shower could be triggered or enhanced. Neptune and Saturn could influence a comet's trajectory. This could cause a spectacular meteor shower. It could cause it to pass closer to Earth. Streaks of light illuminated the sky, creating a breathtaking and otherworldly scene. This inspired awe and wonder in Baron. He was entranced by the beauty of it all. He was thinking of the perfect proposal for Bronzy. He was always excited to see her. He wanted her to have the wedding of her dreams. He wanted her to have a lifetime of happiness. Meanwhile, Baron decided to do some research. What kind of man was Mickale Dostoyevski? What kind of background did he have? He worked hard to develop different accents so that he wouldn't be recognized. When he was almost finished with his research, he found that he was part Lebanese and part Czechoslovakian. It was a broken accent, which made it difficult to figure out what Mikale Dostoyevski was made of. Mikail tried everything he could to disrupt the lives of Bronzy Nickels and Baron Bigwig. He was in jail for what he did to Bronzy and Baron, but he was soon out on bail. When Bronzy and Baron were aware of this, they became concerned about their safety. Would he try to steal the electric car's plans again? Would they be followed? Threats against their livelihood bombarded them with the uncertainty of it all. Baron wondered what Mikail's next step was to be. He didn't want anything to complicate his life. He didn't want Bronzy to mistrust him again. He wants Bronzy to put her head together with him to figure all this out. What it would be, he didn't know. Baron planned a meeting with Bronzy to put a hiccup into their plans. By adding glucosamine to the car's engine, all the imperfections or pain from the car would have been alleviated. "This sounds crazy, but it might work for the car", Baron said. Taking away the pains associated with the malfunctioning operations of the body's structure, the car hummed a merry tune. No arthritic-like symptoms in this car's body, Baron shouted, with a whole amount of gratitude and praise. He was developing a big-headed ego. This wasn't such a good idea. He needed to become real and down-to-earth. The whole idea was to become a genuine friend to the people, especially to the one person he wanted to make an impression on. Bronzy was the woman of his dreams. Oh, Bronzy! Come on over. You have to hear what my ingenious mind has come up with. What have you come up with now? she spoke. She was curious about the new kind of plan that had gotten him so excited. Delighted to learn new things, her focus was to listen with the eagerness and anticipation of a woman. He shared his new plan with her. Bronzy! My gosh! Your plan is superbly magnificent! How did you come up with this? I would have never thought of it. Let's put this plan into action. We need to get to the bottom of this. It wasn't long before Mikale Dostoyevsky would make another attempt at stealing their plans. At this point, Bronzy decided on a color for their Mugmobile. The Mugmobile is shaped like a coffee mug. It would get the attention of the townspeople in this community. The Mugmobile, Bronzy said, would be light sky-blue or lavender. She was ecstatic with these colors. She acted like a little girl whose dreams had come to life. It was a reality that came into being. She hasn't felt as happy as she was on this day. She was like a new person. Her excitement was full of life. The polka and square dance competition was on. This would be interesting! Backstage people decided to do something. They are putting these two dances together to give them a chance to meet. Would it involve a rumba of some sort? Oh! What possibilities would Baron and Bronzy discover? Bronzy got on the dance floor. While she was doing the polka dance, she wowed the crowd with her quick movements. The crowd was impressed with his square dance moves. When the performance ended, an announcement over the intercom said that Baron and Bronzy were doing a new dance called "The Rumba." "The Rumba?" They were both shocked by the announcement. "We've never done that." However, their faces perked with a smile; it was a new experience about to be discovered. For the Rumba, they had to show love and compassion by dancing slowly together. This was definitely a plus for Baron, since he admired Bronzy so much. Baron implied, "The show must go on". There were no practice sessions. They had to come up with something on their own. Now, how were they going to pull this off? Bronzy was exhilarated about learning something new. A new dance, she thought, would be exciting and adventurous. A new dance move would make her emotions go wild, especially "The Rumba." The time was now. In this dance, they were very close, I mean, very close to one another. Her eyes welled up in embarrassment. Baron was enjoying the sexy and sensual moves. At the same time, she was shy; he was still a stranger to her. They were both on a high about their plan of action. Mikale Dostoyevsky saw the dancing going on at "The Barn". He decided to proceed with his plan. He wanted to steal Baron and Bronzy's plans for the electric car. He was the kind of spy who was sleek and sneaky. He was able to get inside any make of car with a fake ID and a key. This is the perfect opportunity, he stifled, under his breath. He wore an outfit adorned with medals. This signified how important they were; they were magic. This way, he was certain that he could get by with it. While they were doing "The Rumba", Mikale went to their car and whispered under his breath, "What harm could he do to them. He was shuffling papers around, looking for something he could use to ruin Baron and Bronzy's reputation. Mikale tried to get out of the car. The door slammed shut, the door locked, and Mikale was trapped inside. The hiccup put inside the Mugmobile had worked. Baron, Bronzy, and the Police Force caught Mikale. They were out of danger, thanks to the Mugmobile. The Mugmobile praised the inventors for putting Glucosamine into its engine. By doing this, a fresh start was beginning to brew in Muckety Muck, Wisconsin. Baron and Bronzy beamed. They had the loveliest smiles that you ever saw. This restored their faith in their invention. They both applauded their efforts in continuing with their project. Baron was making plans on how he was going to propose to Bronzy. The perfect moment arrived when their Mugmobile caught the spy Mikail Dolstoyefsky. The stars looked amazing that night. They seemed to speak wise words to Baron about talking to Bronzy. "Let's go to The Barn", he asked her. Put on your favorite dress. Let's make this a date. Are you up for it?" Bronzy was feeling somewhat worried about their Mugmobile and Mikale Dostoyevsky, the clever spy, who was only concerned with making money by taking over their discovery. Would he get out again? Alluding to her fearfulness, Baron remembered referring to the Bible, to the place where it says not to be afraid many times. It also says that God will never leave you nor forsake you. Being somewhat skeptical, it did put her mind at ease. She felt instantly at peace with herself. Without hesitation, she gladly accepted his wedding proposal. Picking up Bronzy was thrilling to the core. When he saw her, she was so gorgeous; he couldn't take his eyes off her. Before entering "The Barn", he took her hand in his and led her to a spot where it was apparent that the view of the river was important to him. The sounds coming from the river were calming. Feelings of peace released her fears. Baron found his way to her heart. He desperately wanted to kiss her, but was overjoyed when she planted one right on his lips. The festivities began. They proceeded to "The Barn." They were dancing for a while when Baron walked up to the microphone. He humbly said, "I have something to say. I met this wonderful woman in your community. She is an inventor. I have known her for a while now. She is very likable. I would, by all means, want to seek your approval when I ask her to be my wife." Baffled by all this, Bronzy was silent. She reflected on the time when she saw him with all the ladies. She came so close to declining his invitation when she saw how remarkably he explained what had happened. Her eyes were filled with excitement as she looked around for a minute. She said the magic three-letter word, "Yes." She had the sweetest smile ever on her face when she said that magical word. The community accepted them with open arms. Beyond his wildest dreams, he became the happiest man in the world. Would they be waiting for a while before they get married? No, they didn't wait at all. They began preparing for their wedding plans. Outline I. Wedding Plans - Day 1 A. Dress B. Attendance C. Flower Girl D. Boy Walking Down Aisle II. Wedding Plans - Day 2 A. Matron of Honor B. Bridesmaids C. Best Man Reminder III. Wedding Plans - Day 3 A. Give Bride Away B. Live Band C. Bride and Groom's Favorite Song D. Bride and Groom's Song IV. Wedding Plans - Day 4 A. Honeymoon Location B. Length of Stay Dress - Day 1 Bronzy needed to start looking for a wedding dress (gown). She was joyfully and blissfully confident. She didn't know where to start. How much could she afford? All these thoughts were going through her mind. She wondered how much she should pay. She decided to discuss the cost of the dress with Baron. Using a bit of humor, she wonders how much she will have to pay. Without delay, he looked to the right and to the left. Then, he said, and the cost of it, no less. Then he became serious. "You know, the cost doesn't matter. This will be your day. I will pay for the dress." Bronzy couldn't believe her eyes! She expected to pay for it. A man willing to pay for my dress, she whispered, and the cost didn't matter. She had to pinch herself. She wanted the best dress, hoping the cost would be just right. Bronzy shopped online at the "Wedding Dress Extravaganza." There were many dresses or gowns to choose from. So far, the perfect one hadn't shown up. Wedding dresses in her particular style showed up on a video on the big screen. Oh, my gosh! Wow! The perfect wedding dress was hanging up. It had a long train, lace running down the arms, and a low-cut design, yet it wasn't too revealing. On that amazing night, it glittered like the stars. It was a gorgeous white wedding dress, pure as the driven snow. The veil came over her eyes, and the tiara sparkled like diamonds. The dress was full, making her look like a princess. Now, what does this dress cost? The cost of the wedding gown was $300.00. It was on sale. This suited her well. "I'll take it." She got offline and squealed with delight! Attendance How many people shall I invite? Do I want a big wedding, a small wedding, or a medium-sized one? Without a doubt, she wanted a big wedding. The whole community was invited from her hometown of Muckety Muck, Wisconsin, and from his hometown of Huckingville, Indiana. It will take place at "The Barn." Flower Girl Who should I choose for a flower girl? "How about the little girl from "The Barn", known as Rose Petal?" What a perfect name for a flower girl! I will ask her. It would make my day if she accepts. Bronzy went down to "The Barn", and there she was, as cute as a button. "Hey, Rose, "How would you like to be a flower girl at my wedding?" Beaming with delight, Rose said, "I always wanted to be a flower girl." This is one more item to cross off the list, Bronzy silently said to herself. Boy Walking Down Aisle "Who should I ask to walk down the aisle with the flower girl?" Bronzy remembered a little boy at "The Barn" who would be perfect for that. It would be Benny Stargazer. I will go to "The Barn" and ask him, she said. She headed to "The Barn" to look for him. "Benny", she said, "Would you consider walking down the aisle with Rose Petal at my wedding?" "Sure, I'm in love with that little girl. Like a pretty flower blossoming in the spring, she was refreshing, he said. "Then, it's settled, said Bronzy. She was jumping for joy. So far, everything is working out well. My list is all checked off for the day. Matron of Honor - Day 2 Who shall I choose to be my matron of honor? This is easy. I will get my best friend, Jilliana Bolton. I will pick up the phone and dial her number immediately. Ring a Ling. Ring a Ling. "Hi, Bronzy! What's up?" "I'm wondering if you'd consider being my maid of honor at my wedding." There was a bit of a conflict there. Jilliana hung out with Baron after she danced with him. Jilliana responded, "I will have to think about this one for a while." Bronzy wondered why. Her curiosity swung into gear. Jilliana informed her that she used to hang around with Baron. He was her partner in dancing. "Oh?" said Bronzy. Some prior memories twerked to a sadder time in her life. Jilliana called her back the next day and said, "Of course, I will be your matron of honor at your wedding." Bronzy was happy about that. Bronzy had some questions she needed to ask about Baron. Her curiosity got the best of her. Bronzy needed to approach Baron about this turn of events. Finding the right time to do it was the question. I will take him to a quiet little place in the park. Finally, she got him there. Without showing fear, she asked him the question. I didn't know you dated my best friend. How long has this been going on?" He explained that Jilliana had a huge crush on him, but I wasn't that interested in her. She had a hard time letting go after we dated a few times." "Okay, this explains why. How are the two of you getting along?" "I love you, Baron said, "The past is the past. I have dated many ladies, but none of them compares with you." "That's assuring", said Bronzy. It was nice knowing that Jilliana would be the maid of honor at her wedding. Bridesmaids Bronzy decided to ask the five ladies who sang together at a live performance. They blended in with the theme of her wedding. Their names were: Jessica Newhouser, Madeline Greensbury, Aretha Strummer, CicilyTownsend, and Miranda Farnsworth. "Flowering Blossoms" was the theme of her wedding. Bronzy mustered up the courage to ask the ladies if they would consider being bridesmaids at her wedding. In unison, they all agreed with pleasure. Best Man Reminder Who is going to be the best man? He would have to make a toast to the Bride and Groom. He would need to have a sense of humor. This is important in a large gathering such as this. Baron's closest friend is one he went to school with. His name was Cleaveland Branington. He was charming in every way. He is a person with a good demeanor. He made everyone feel welcome and right at home. I will ask him to be the Best Man at our wedding. It would be a godsend for him to accept my invitation to be best man at our wedding. Bronzy asked Baron for Cleaveland's phone number. He gave it to her, and she dialed the number. Ring a Ling, Ring a Ling. "Hello, this is Cleaveland Branington." "Hello, this is Bronzy Nickels. Baron Bigwig is my fiancé. We're getting married! Would you be willing to be the best man at our wedding?" "Well, I'll be. Baron Bigwig is getting married! I didn't think I'd see the day. You don't worry about a thing. I will be the Best Man at your wedding." After Cleaveland and Bronzy hung up the phone, she said, "I am the luckiest girl alive! Everything is going as planned. This is meant to be, I'm sure of that." Wedding Plans - Day 3 Decide who will give the Bride Away Decisions, decisions. Who will Bronzy get to do this job? You see, because of Bronzy and Baron's success, their families didn't want anything to do with them. Jealousy had prevailed. Rather than being proud of them, they acted like they didn't know their own kids. This made Bronzy sad. This was definitely going to be the day they were to get married, and feeling rejected by their families did not make their day complete. They had to make the best of their situation and go ahead and do it. They did the best they could. It took her a little while to figure out who to ask. It had to be someone special. Suddenly, she had a burst of energy. It finally dawned on her. How about Davy Rocket? He was a well-known comedian who had a special knack for making people laugh. It doesn't hurt to ask him. It would bring such an ambience to the room. It would be a joyful event for him to be there. Ring a Ling, Ring a Ling. "Hello, I'm Davy Rocket. What can I do for you? "Davy Rocket? You are the one I'm trying to get a hold of. My name is Bronzy Nickels, and I am getting married! I heard that you are a well-known comedian. I have a huge favor to ask you. I would love it if you would give me away at my wedding. It would mean a lot to me. "Bronzy, my dear, it would be an honor to give you away." "Wowza! Wooza! You have no idea what this means to me. Thank you so much." Bronzy had one more thing to check off from her list. She was on top of the world. She couldn't believe what she had accomplished. This is cool. I am getting excited about walking down the aisle and becoming Mrs. Bronzy Bigwig. It's absolutely brilliant how this is coming together. What Live Band Will Play at Our Wedding? Which live band would we like to have to play at our wedding? What kind of music do we want? The music I want for our wedding needs to make everyone feel good and happy. It has to be the right kind; it has to be perfect for the occasion. "Feel good music is what it's all about. Having a variety of songs would make it the perfect wedding ever. This would be an uplifter for me, and the wedding guests as well", said Bronzy. The combination of Rock and Roll, Jazz, Western, and Contemporary Music will create an atmosphere of belonging. What group could do this? I know, I know, how about "The Music Go-Getters"? They are close by, and they can really draw the crowd in. Hurry! I'd better give them a call. The sooner the better. The longer the delay, the greater the chances are that they will be booked up for other gigs. Ring a Ling, Ring a Ling. "Hello! The Music Go-Getters are here. We aim to please. What kind of music are you looking for?" "My name is Bronzy Nickels, and I'm getting married! I am interested in a musical variety, such as Rock and Roll, Jazz, Western, and Contemporary Music." "No problem, lady, we've got it covered. Where would we be playing at, and what date?" Bronzy replied, "It will be at 'The Barn' on Friday, June 27, 2024." "No problem. You've got a band!" "Oh! Oh! Thank you so much. You have made a bride happy", she exclaimed. Bronzy checked another item off her list. She was almost finished with her wedding planning. The next item on her list is: Pick Out Bride and Groom's Favorite Songs One of Bronzy's favorite songs was coming to mind. This song would be "Rock Me Gently." "Still The One" was #2, "Shop Around " #3, "Burning Love" #4, "Mansion Over the Hilltop" #5, "Wings of a Dove" #6, "Young Love" #7, and "Standing on the Promises of God" #8. Now is the time to find out what Baron's favorite song is. Pick Out Bride and Groom's Favorite Songs One of Bronzy's favorite songs was coming to mind. This song would be "Rock Me Gently." "Still The One" was #2, "Shop Around" #3, "Burning Love" #4, "Mansion Over the Hilltop" #5, "Wings of a Dove" #6, "Young Love" #7, and "Standing on the Promises of God #8. She needed to ask Baron for the names of his favorite songs. She knew Baron was working on ideas for the perfect wedding. She saw that he was sitting in the Mugmobile singing. "Baron! That is the loveliest song I have ever heard. It's so beautiful. What is the name of the song?" "It's an original, written by me. It's called "I Fell in Love the Day I Met You." The following are the lyrics to his song: "I Fell in Love the Day I Met You" Verses: I fell in love the day I met you. You were the reason I didn't feel blue. The sun was shining on my face, Somehow, I knew you were filled with grace. I prayed that we would find a way, To make it together in every way. Truth is what matters, Trust is divine, You will be mine, I will gather. Chorus: Your eyes are blue, your hair is blond, I'll be true, in the coming of the dawn. I'll make you happy, wait and see, I'll sing you a rap song filled with glee. This is the song for you and me. Verses: This is the first, it's not the last, Memories of you are bound to last. I'll care for you, from the hurts of the past, Forever, our love will continue to grow. Cherish the good times, Get rid of the bad, It will be the best time you've ever had. Smile today, and always be glad. Chorus: Your eyes are blue, your hair is blond, I'll be true, in the coming of the dawn. I'll make you happy, wait and see, I'll sing you a rap song, filled with glee, This is the song for you and me. "You were thinking all that about me?" Bronzy said. "Yes, I have been." "Why don't you play this at our wedding?" "I would love to", implied Baron. "I believe that it's settled then", Bronzy remarked. "I can cross another item off my list. I am so excited!" Bride and Groom Sing to Each Other Bronzy was pondering the thought of her and Baron singing together at their wedding. This would be a memorable moment that they would cherish forever. It would be heartfelt. She was eager to find out if Baron would do this. He could be out in the Mugmobile singing. I'll go out and see. She darted out to the Mugmobile only to find out if he was in there. Much to her surprise, this was exactly where she saw him. "I have something important to ask you." "Go ahead and ask me." "What would you think about us singing to each other during the wedding? It would mean a lot to me." "That's such a lovely idea. No question about it. This is very sentimental of you. I was thinking along those lines myself." "Great, what song shall we sing?" "Top of the World" by the Carpenters." "Fantastic! You are great at what you do. I've always had confidence in you. I knew you could pull it off." "Thank you for being so kind and understanding." "No problem. Anything you want, darling." One more thing to cross off my list. I have two more things, and then I'm officially done. Bronzy jumped for joy! Wedding Plans - Day 4 Where to Go for Honeymoon Bronzy would think long and hard on this one. If I could go anywhere, where would I go? I'd love to go somewhere to relax and enjoy the view. Perhaps the Mugmobile could tell me. She went to the Mugmobile and asked if it knew of a special place for her and Baron to go for their honeymoon. "How about a nice view of the water, on the beach, relaxing with a nice, refreshing, non-alcoholic drink. Like a Root Beer Float, or a Blackberry Milkshake. Perhaps a nice dessert like a Banana Split. The perfect place would be at a resort, "Where Dreams Do Come True Spa Resort?" It was highly recommended. Everyone who left there said that they enjoyed their time there. "Where is this resort located? It sounds like a lovely place." "It's on an island, isolated from the busyness of the world. This island is in Pretty Valley, California. This is where the grass is greenest, dreams are possibilities, and adventures are majestically brilliant. It's an escape to a land where privacy is a must. You can be anyone you want to be. Believe you can, believe you will, and believe what you see. By faith, it will come into fruition. The palm trees are a welcoming sight for love." "It's perfect", Bronzy said. Another item marked off the list. Bronzy was feeling optimistic about things. How Long Will They Stay Bronzy felt hopeful that a three-month stay would be about right. She wondered if Baron would agree to this, above everything else. The Mugmobile had a fantastic idea. It decided to turn the lights down to soften the glow. This would give them that special romantic feeling. Then, it would play soft music and play a romantic video. This would put Baron and Bronzy in a romantic mood. It put her in the right mood for her to ask him if a three-month stay would suit him. She asked him with a sweetness to her voice. "Baron", she said softly, "How would a three-month stay at the 'Where Dreams Do Come True Spa Resort' sound to you? I would love to go there." "Bronzy, I would love to go anywhere with you. A three-month stay would be splendid! Where is this place?" "In Pretty Valley, California. Then, this is it, this is where we'll go. "Yes. My wedding plan list is complete. I am so blessed. I hope it goes well without a glitch. It will be fine." It was now time to get back to business. It was regarding the Mugmobile. "How could we dress up our car to go in style? When we leave "The Barn", we want to look rather fashionable", said Bronzy. "Let's let the community know how much we appreciate them. When I throw the wedding bouquet, I want the right woman to catch it. I want her to be proud. I want her to be happy, just like us." How to Dress Up the Mug Mobile "You are so thoughtful and caring. I will gladly work on the Mugmobile's stylishness. It will be fun to work on this project. I'll get to it right away." "You're my kind of man. We've come a long way to get here. I'm excited to see what you come up with on the car." "I want it to look sleek and elegant. It will be a sight to behold. For its appearance, it should look very sophisticated. I will let the Mug Mobile help me make the right decision." Baron, determined to speak to the Mug Mobile, became somewhat reluctant about asking it to come up with a very stylish design. Then, he got his confidence back. "Hey, Muggie." (This was a new nickname he came up with for the Mug Mobile). "I've got something to ask you." "Go ahead", the Mug Mobile said, "I'm all ears." "Bronzy and I were talking about you becoming fashionable. What kind of a design would suit you?" "I would dazzle them with a bright new look. I would have baby-blue eyes; an elegant, sleek interior with soft, fuzzy, white kittens decorating the ceiling. The seats will automatically adjust to whatever your body temperature needs. The seats will be decorated with different breeds of puppies, making everyone feel loved and at ease with each other. It would bestow friendly outcomes between people. There won't be any fighting in the car. It would be impossible. The chassis would be sharp-looking, sharp enough to be admired by everyone. I am enraptured by all of this." "The Mug Mobile's idea is stupendous", Baron rejoiced. "I can't wait to inform my Bronzy about this. Where would she be? Bronzy's birthday is March 7, 2024. I will surprise her with the Mug Mobile's idea for its design. She will get a big picture of the Mug Mobile, with her sitting in the driver's seat. What a great idea! he thought to himself. I am going to jump high in the air; I can hardly wait for her to become my wife. This will be the happiest day ever. Our wedding is three months away. Yeah! Bronzy was dreamily outside waiting for Baron to return. There was a rainbow in the air, then a triple rainbow appeared. It was beautiful! The colors of the rainbow gave her hope. It was a promise of a love that is enduring, able to conquer anything that was brought before them. She was elated. She was thinking to herself, "How could a lady's man pick me out to be his wife? I was heartbroken when I saw him intermingling with all the ladies. Now, I am blessed with a good and honest man." Baron noticed the happy smile on her face. "Bronzy! What are you so happy about?" "I was thinking of you, and how lucky I am." The Mug Mobile decided to surprise Baron and Bronzy with a picturesque view of horses appearing on the top of the trunk. This would provide extra power to go up hills when needed to. Baron would need to come up with something for this to happen, the Mug Mobile determined. What this would be, it did not know. Maybe even Bronzy could come up with an idea that would provide an answer. Bronzy put on her working clothes. She liked dressing comfortably. A casual style, with a fashionable statement of sorts. She was more determined than ever to come up with clothes that would give her a relaxed impression. She was reflecting on the time when she and Baron had to perform "The Rumba." Baron and Bronzy didn't know "The Rumba", but, much to their surprise, they ended up pulling it off. Bronzy shimmered with delight, thinking about the hot and steamy moves associated with it. It was a lot of fun performing this in front of an audience. She also recalled how embarrassed she was. Oh, my! she thought. She spent some time reminiscing about that day. They were surprised when they were told to perform the Rumba together. They were definitely up for the challenge. They pulled it off significantly well. They were well-received by the crowd. They applauded loudly and shouted at them to do an encore presentation. After they went back on stage to do their dance once again, smiles beamed across their faces. They couldn't wait to practice their moves. Bronzy came up with something to ask Baron about. It was a brilliant idea for her, she thought. How about some sparkling cider? "Baron! What would you think about putting something refreshing into the tank of the Mug Mobile?" "Like what?" "Sparkling Cider." "How intelligent you are. That is a brilliant decision. Let's try it out." Baron felt an ambiance about this. He used sparkling cider to pour into the gas tank. Soon after he did this, a remarkable thing transpired before his eyes. The Mug Mobile felt refreshed and eager to take them wherever they wanted to go. That's exactly what the Mug Mobile needed. It needed something to keep it cool. Extravagant in all its glory, one could see the smiles on their faces, the Mug Mobile declared. Happy tunes were coming from their car. Happy days were imminent. The Mug Mobile, trying to come up with some romantic tunes, was deciding on several songs that would showcase "The Rumba." Mission accomplished. It would play them at random. Who knows what kind of songs they would play? It would be an interesting fact to find out how many people were enjoying the "Rumba". Business with the Mug Mobile was settled. It would be luxurious to take a drive along the river. Flowers were blooming everywhere. Magnificently formed in a beautiful pattern, birds would light up the sky with a variety of different colors. They were singing peacefully, beckoning everyone to start singing. Harmonious tunes were blazing out about love. Everyone seemed to be in sync with their harmonies. An ambiance, serene and peaceful, was apparent; very real in nature. Pertaining to a joyous countenance in the crowd, the level of compassion grew. Illuminations of thoughts rendered an equivalency of standard motivations, into helping people achieve what they've always wanted to achieve. Each day forward was getting better and better. A better world was coming into existence. Baron decided to check on our planetary alignment. "Atmospheric adjustments could go in our favor," proclaimed Baron. "I can figure all this out. A floral arrangement on a table could be a simplification of comfort. For starters, beauty could be a transformation of thoughts of grandeur. The lighting could project itself onto the bride and groom. The people would know how much they care for each other. A genuine expression from the heart would show the sincerity of their commitment. Bronzy's eyes sparkled. In her eyes, true love was evident. It's now two months away from their big day. It is the month of April. April showers began to fall. Birds tweeted rather well. Spring was in the air. Completely fulfilling the hopeful signs of commitment, a bountiful supply of wonderment brought music to everyone's ears. The willingness to share songs was the master key to their dreams. Embracing the sensationalism of the day, triggered couples to hold hands. It was contagious. The community was getting prepped up about the big event coming up in two months. The excitement was tremendously shown. Popular with the community, they wanted their wedding to go perfectly, without any glitches. If anyone tried to interfere, they had the community to deal with. They came up with a motto which reads as follows: One is for Baron and Bronzy; it's their wedding day. Two are for the community sticking together. Three are for serving others with glee. Four is for the desire to be free. Five is for bringing people to life. Six prepares men to conquer strife, and Seven makes them ready to seek a wife. Bronzy Nickels and Baron Bigwig, Stick together through thick and thin, This is the best way to enter in. Watch the way they move together, Gets them through all kinds of weather. The things in life will soon transpire, Getting the things that they desire. Inventing a car makes their dreams come true; It's the best thing to happen, for them and you. Baron and Bronzy were flying high on cloud nine. They were thinking, "What could possibly go wrong?" One thing Bronzy was afraid of. What if one of his lady friends from the past decided to stop the wedding? Would they succeed in doing so? They would be vicious enough to do that. After thinking thoughts like these, she piped up with a stronger boost of confidence, than she's ever felt before. I will stand up for what's rightfully mine. Baron is the man I've always dreamed about. I'm no longer dreaming. This is reality. Bronzy's life was on a movie projector, she felt. Her favorite memories are coming alive, on screen, and was a complete sell-out. Her life is one of fascination, charm, and beauty. She was beaming like a lightbulb, shining everywhere she went. It is now the month of May. The wedding is only one month a way. Was she getting nervous? Somewhat. Was she getting the jitters? A little bit. This was to be expected. The dawning of a new era was soon to be approaching. What a marvelous day this would be! She couldn't stop thinking about Baron. "Have I gone mad?" She felt like a kid at heart. She was feeling playful and naughty. She was imagining how her honeymoon would be. "Feeling a bit devious, aren't I?, she laughed. She proceeded to talk to the Mug Mobile. She didn't walk, she ran. The Mug Mobile warmed everything up inside for her. It provided a safe place for her galvanic thoughts. She was enthused up about sharing secretive emotions with the Mug Mobile. Wow! I can safely express my desires here. Am I being too naughty?, she asked. "No, not at all", said the Mug Mobile. Bronzy was a bit embarrassed by having thoughts of this nature. "Bronzy, my dear", said the Mug Mobile, "You shouldn't be embarrassed, you are going to have a brighter future for yourself. Believe that and claim it. You are beautiful in every way." Bronzy remembered something important. She had to check on the families and guests who were invited to the wedding. Wait! We forgot about the refreshments. We can't forget about that. Get on it girl. What would everyone want? I surely don't want alcohol to be served. I'm sure there would be a brawl if there was. Bronzy certainly didn't want any outbursts breaking out from people who had too much alcohol to drink. Outbursts of this nature would ruin the happiness that they deserve. Their wedding was to be a huge step, especially for Bronzy, who wanted nothing more than to have a special wedding that would honor both of their accomplishments in inventing the Mugmobile. This electric car would never break down and would repair itself when it did. There was much planning in preparing for their wedding. Bronzy wanted her dress to dazzle the guests. Their special was soon to arrive. Baron was looking forward to having Bronzy as a life partner. He had a smile that was absolutely glowing. He was excited to share every moment of every day with her. He wanted to give her the best honeymoon ever. He danced the polka better than he ever danced before. The Wedding Day It is now June. The wedding is set for June 12, 2024. They chose June 12 for various reasons. It would be a beautiful sunny day, perfect for smiles beaming for miles. It will be a celebration of genuine love, full of promises of a lifetime. The car ride to the Church went smoothly. The scenery was delightful while the conversations were pleasant. The Mugmobile gave her a smooth ride filled with laughter and joy, as she was absorbed in her thoughts of becoming Mrs. Bronzy Bigwig. As the ceremony began to unfold, you could hear the anticipation and excitement of seeing this couple together. The whole town was elated. When they exchanged their own vows to one another, your heart would melt when you saw their devotion proceed in real time. When the minister spoke the words, Baron, you may now kiss the bride, he bent down and gave her the most delicate and beautiful kiss. Their love shone so brightly throughout the room and the whole town. Their name was shown in lights around town. It was a spectacular event. Baron and Bronzy dashed out of the wedding reception, eager to begin their honeymoon. They were going to "Where Dreams Do Come True Spa Resort." They would relax in comfort. This spa would leave them with an exhilarating experience they would never forget. They would be back home, living in a luxurious house decorated for their comfort. They couldn't ask for anything more. For their inventions, their lives were to be filled with grandiose and picturesque expectations. As they were leaving for their honeymoon, an interesting moment occurred in the sky. As they were going ahead with their plans, a full-blown meteor shower appeared; it was the perfect backdrop for the perfect wedding. If you can imagine Neptune and Saturn influencing the trajectory of a comet or an asteroid, a meteor shower could be triggered or enhanced. This is exactly what transpired. The meteor shower created quite a display. Illuminated by the sky's colors, it was the perfect setting for romance. Baron and Bronzy couldn't take their eyes off one another. They made quite a connection. They decided to consummate their love. Could there be a big surprise in the works for them? Could Bronzy become pregnant right from the start? Well, Bronzy did feel sick and was beginning to throw up. This was certainly a sign of being pregnant. Baron was suggesting that Bronzy take a pregnancy test. She was saying to herself, This cannot be. She took the test. It turned out to be positive. Baron was a very happy man about this. He couldn't wait to tell everybody. Bronzy was embarrassed and shy about this, had a difficult time of sharing the news. When the news finally hit her that she was pregnant, she was afraid of not being a good mother. When she felt the baby move, a nice big smile came across her face. She felt more confident at this time. She wasn't ready to have a baby, but she had no choice, she had to accept the fact that she was pregnant. , |
