DESCRIPTION
An unique story from the perspective of a teen writer.TRANSCRIPT
This whole story starts in Rooseviel town, with only two children named Jimmy ana Hannah and their father – John. John was a musician and loved to tell everything music to his children, who also loved to hear about his passion for music.
It was Halloween season, everyone was very excited... So, every morning, they asked John to play a little of his instrument. They thought it was magical to see their father playing so well. And they dreamed that one day, they would also be a great musician like their father.
But what they didn’t know, was that there -in Roosiviel - there was a magical world, a world of monsters, talking animals, witches, fairies and magicians. However, it was protected by an invisible barrier, which was only broken on Halloween.
When suddenly they heard a strange noise and got up to see what it could be and they were surprised to hear a loud, but soft piano sound from outside the window they opened.
It was when the two were sucked out and carried away by fairies. They were taken further away more and more from their home...
... A nd - like a journey in time - Jimmy and Hannah were thrown into a new world, a world that they themselves had desired for a long time in their dreams. But they had also forgotten that John was left behind in their house and soon they would have to come back home.
Forgotten that, the two began in what looked like yellow clouds. They were very happy and thought that everything was just a dream, until they realized that was real and that they were alone in that place.
Jimmy and Hannah started walking on the clouds that seemed to have no end. Hannah was cold and thought about how nice it would be to have a warm. Thus they realized that they were in an island of desires, a place where all wishes come true. Jimmy also wished for warmer clothes and the two thought it would be better if they were in a forest.
It all seemed crazy. Everything they thought suddenly appeared. Hannah began to imagine snow, flowers and then she remembered that they could get whatever they wanted, including the dream of being musicians.
Jimmy soon imagined a giant bug-bus that could take them to a ride in search of their dreams. The scenario began to change with each different imagination, forming a world full of colors and different things.
kne Hannah found a lot of colorful animals speakers on the way, which already existed in that world. So, she took advantage and asked a question, even though she was afraid of the answer. She asked if theyget knew how they got in there. And the creatures said that they way to get in or get out was through the last portal that had an old guardian that took care of the exit and entrance. Thus, maybe he could let them pass.
Then, they continued their journey through the lovely places in the imaginary world in pursuit of their dreams and of the exit back to their home. Hannah was always lively, but Jimmy was more concerned with everything that was happening. After walking for a while, she saw a house far away.
And when they got there, it seemed that it was a doll house and Hannah was coming soon. All of them were beautiful and well dressed. When the doll saw Hannah, they were surprised, because they had an identical doll. Hannah took advantage of the opportuniy to ask if the last portal was near and they said it was. Hannah then hurried out of the house to continue the journey.
Menwhile, Jimmy was outside the house waiting for Hannah to show the new friends he had met and the flying clothing that he had invented thanks to the new friends he met who also told him which path he should take to get home. Jimmy and Hannah continued their search, but this time from the sky.
From above, the two spotted a good place to rest. Near colorful shrubs, where they found a rat named Stuhr. During the night, they told the whole story and their dream of being musicians. Stuhr became interested in the story and told the two that he knew a place where everything was music. Hannah and Jimmy asked him to take them there before down.
Stuhr took them and when they got there, they heard that sound of piano – the same way as they heard when they were taken away and when they looked at the stage there were two pianos. And it seemed that everyone was waiting for them. Then, a voice called the two on stage.
Hannah and Jimmy were shocked and in disbelief, but they still ran to the stage and they imagined themselves as the best musicians in the world. When they started playing, those sparkles of before began to fly across the stage... And they could feel the excitement of being musicians for one night performing their dreams.
After the two of them played the piano and were behind the stage, they found a golden door ... And when they entered, they found a library that had a giant golden staircase. What seemed to be a portal. The two climbed the ladder. It seemed endless, but they continued until they saw a light, weak and distant...
When they got at the end of the staircase, they realized that instead of going back home, they appeared in front of a throne. When they looked up, they saw the old guardian and they started yelling to get his attention. The old man turned in their direction and said he was already waiting for them and that the journey of someone in that world ends when the dream is accomplished and only him could take them back.
Then the old man let the kids go back home. And Jimmy and Hannah could see their father again and finish Halloween at their home ...
