My version of CARPOOLERS (part 2)

In the next week, it is the time for the girls to go to theirs commitments in the car of Lizzy. Hannah enters in the car a little pale.

- Let me see, let me see the wedding ring!! – screams Katy of the seat back.

- I didn’t receive any ask to marry, so I am not with any wedding ring.

- Keep one's temper, Hannah. He certainly will ask in other day – Lizzy tries to calm Hannah.

- Other day!! Charles and I broke up, Lizzy!! I am alone, alone!!- Hannah begins to cry.

- You broke up? How come?? – all of them want to know

- I went to dinner friday in his house. I went simple, but not so simple. But before I arrived in the Charles’s apartment, he sent a message saying: we need to talk seriously. So I went quickly to his apartment. When I arrived in the apartment, he treated me well, but no kisses, hugs, everything so cold. I thought that was strange, but how I was so nervous I didn’t pay attention in this…– Hannah begins to cry again – So he started to talk that he liked me very much, that he had beautiful moments with me but I am not the ideal women for him. I was in shock, I couldn’t say anything.

- But, why?? He seemed to love you so much. – says Lizzy, too crying with sorry for Hannah.

- The problem is he has other woman! He said to me that he met other girl, which he fell in love for her and he didn’t want to hurt me. When I finally could do something, I just took my purse and I have been go out but he stopped me. He said that he didn’t want it to end badly, that we could be friends.

- What you said? – asks Anne.

- I said: “Maybe”. But then, I don’t know why, I invented to ask him about the Tyffany box. So he answered me awkwardly that the jewel he bought for HER!! – Hannah begins to cry once more.

- You shouldn’t have asked. – says Anne, with sorry for Hannah.

- Ai Hannah!!

- Stop crying Lizzy!! You are driving. Do you want to kill us and to kill my baby?!- screams Katy. Lizzy tries to recompose her self and Hannah exchanges of matter:

- And tell me, how are you and Frederick and your parents, Katy?

         - Don’t say me the name of that irresponsible! You don’t know in the confusion that my parents put me. They called “he” to dinner in my home tonight. They will force “he” to get married with me. I don’t know what I should do.

            - Our families and boyfriends just make us suffer. – Hannah says

           - Of curse! And the problem is that they don’t know that in the end everyone suffers.- says Katy

          - But Tolstoi said: “Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way”

          - Who Anne???- Katy, Hannah and Lizzy look for she don’t understand anything.

        And so the four girls are going everyday, creating expectations or trying to solve their problems, but always "what happens in the car, stays in the car."

My version of CARPOOLERS (part 1)

Alguns anos atrás, eu escrevi para um trabalho de colégio um conto baseado na série Carpoolers da ABC Channel.

Para quem lê em inglês, aqui está a minha versão do que poderia ser um episódio da série que será dividida em duas partes ;) 

Obs.: Eu mudei várias coisas na série, inclusive os personagens, mas a ideia geral continuou.

Obs. 2: Primeiro colocarei uma pequena explicação do que significa carpooling. ;)

************************************************************************************************************

Opening of the ABC series Carpoolers

What is carpooling?

Here in Brazil it’s not so common yet. But in other countries like the U.S.A., England, Canada and Australia solidary ride exists because they worry about the environment and they also worry about spending less money. So they created the carpooling, which is a group of people that take the same way to work or to school taking turns in different cars each day. The money spended is divided between the passengers.

My version of CARPOOLERS (part 1)

Anne, Hannah, Lizzy and Katy are four carpoolers women that go everyday to theirs jobs or school together in the same car. With the saying “what happens in the car stays in the car “, the carpoolers go to their commitments gossiping so much.

            Anne is a journalist of 24 years old, she is of lower class to her friends of carpoolers, but she is the most intelligent of the group. Frequently her friends don't understand her answers. She rises in the life working in The New York Times.

            Hannah is the opposite of Anne. She is rich cradle, she works in a clothes store only to prove to her parents that she can support herself alone. A pretty woman, she is brat and the only thing she thinks is clothes, shopping and parties.

            Lizzy is the most calm of the group. She is a hippy that ever ends to pacify our friends. She works in a vegetarian restaurant where she is a chef. She dresses crazy looks and her car is an eletric green car.

Katy is the youngest of the group, she has 17 years old. She studies in Collegiate School and she is pregnant of her ex-boyfriend. A bit rebel, she does not keep a good relationship with the family after pregnancy. Already about the father of the child, she doesn't even want to hear his name.

Today, the four “mate ride” go to yours commitments in the Hannah’s car, a yellow Porsche, driving to New York.

- Do you ever feel/ like a plastic bag/ drifting through the wind/ wanting to start again...- Hannah turns the radio and begins to sing. After a little time watching Hannah singing, the others begin sing too - Do you ever feel/ feel so paper-thin/ like a house of cards/ one blow from caving in...
            - The baby is moving! The baby is moving!! – Screams Katy for your friends – I guess he liked the music!

- Ohh! Of course he liked. This song is so happy and we that were sing. Who wouldn’t like?

            - How you are modest, Hannah! But I agree with you, I guess he was happy like we singing Firework – replies Katy.

            - But, Katy, say to us, how is your relationship with the father of your baby? Until last week you don’t speak with your ex. I don’t think this is good. Negatives energies round about the baby don’t do well for him. What this kid will need when he born is a family together. – says Lizzy.

            - “He”-It’s like that how Katy referred to her ex– is dating with a university woman and she isn’t beautiful. In respect to negatives energies, Lizzy, my son doesn’t need his father’s bad influence. Is very good the way it is and I will continue without speak with “He”. But it seems that my parents thinking like you and won’t leave me in peace for much time.

            - What do they want now, Katy? – asks Anne.

            - That I get married with “he”! Imagine this…

            - Ahhh! With respect to the wedding, I have some good new to tell you.

            - What???

            - I will get married with Charles!!

          - He asking you to marry? When this happened? How did it happened? When will you get married?- all of them asking together.

            - Take it easy! Charles didn’t ask me to marry yet.

            - How didn’t? So how did you say that you will get married, Hannah?- asks Anne.

         - Well .. is that I saw, you know ... in his desk when I went to see him saturday and he wasn’t home, but the maid let me in ... I went to get a pen and I saw a Tyfanny box.

            - I don’t believe in you!! You saw the wedding ring! I guess it’s bad to see the wedding ring before he asks.

            - No, Lizzy, I didn’t see the wedding ring. But I know that the Tyfanny box has my wedding ring! I’m sure! Just can be! We are together for two years, it’s time to get married.

            - When you think he will ask? – questions Katy.

            - I don’t know. I think friday because he wants me to sleep in his apartment friday and he said he will prepare a dinner for us.

            - Certainly friday!! – Katy, Lizzy and Anne exclaim.

            - Ahhh! I’m so curious! What should I dress?? What I should do without he realizes that I know?? – asks Hannah with a frightened face.

           - I think that you should go simple, without much production and, mainly, you should be calm and know if your answer will even be yes. – say Lizzy

            - Of course it will be yes!!

            - Well I think you have to go very sexy, so he won't have a doubt - Katy comments.

            In this moment of decision, the friends arrive in the carpoolers parking and they parted. In the whole week the friends discuss what Hannah will dress, how she should act and arise also comments about the relationship of Katy with their relatives. The girls think she should leave Frederick – the father of her baby- observes her pregnancy and she should talk better with her parents.

Firmamento das boas lembranças

Sentada no sofazinho da sala, a porta aberta, o vento batendo no rosto, a vida passando tão rápida quanto o vento. As melhores lembranças, essas são reprisadas e um sorriso tímido que aos poucos brota desses fragmentos de memória demonstra que não é sempre que a felicidade consegue ser tão clara aos olhos. E o tempo passa sem percebermos, sem percebermos aquela pequena flor que o vento nos trouxe. E sentada naquele sofazinho, se sentindo em estado de êxtase, eu desejo que o tempo pare para que eu possa naufragar mais uma vez no firmamento das boas lembranças.
