All Alone and Cheated Out 🐆

Crystal was very self-sufficient. She loved Andre. Everyone said things to him all the time and petted him. The funny thing was he seemed to base some of life on things like luck of good fortune, rather than pure desire. One saucy but sprite-ly girl named Jane was onto him and gave in and they had a baby girl together named Jilly. Jane was only 12 years old.

Andre approached Crystal and told her what a baby she was to him and she magneted into him shyly around many others and he picked her up for a long time and they took walks together. She was perfectly happy. She was 6 year old. Andre took her to a bar and held her as they drank alcohol together. She laughed like she would drift away, but he pulled her back in to him. He rubbed her and put her to sleep. They went back to a lodge and he gave her a bath and dressed her warm for bed and read her a story and rocked her to sleep. He pulled her to him and asked her to talk to him. She said life was scaring her unless she could do what she wanted and do work for her own life. There was so much technology. He answered her and wondered about it himself and shushed her to sleep.

The 4 Generations

There were 4 big generations of kids for Andre Rieu. The 1st was Peter Pan. The 2nd was Peter Peter. The 3rd was Crystal. The 4th was so cute.

1 Peter Pan was mature and forever young, of course. He was as though on equal level as Andre Rieu.

2 Peter Peter lived in his own world and it was always happy or pleasurable or fun, but he was a little boy.

3 Crystal lived in love but was still pretty independent.

4 The cute generation "needed help."

Frilly the Mystery 🤑

Crystal was thinking about Frilly, like an older sister. Frilly was very babied but very refined. Crystal was sophisticated with straight smooth chopped thick white-blonde hair with bangs that swept to the sides.

There was a bratty girl in the orchestra who was 18 years old who was lying down, she came up to Andre and lay beside him with nothing but her sundress on and twiddled her toes and asked about Frilly.

All These Crumbs

Andre is happy conducting.

The girls of the orchestra are very competitive, but it's okay anyway because Andre loves them so much. "It's a vicious cycle."

Crystal is a normal person and is trapped. She gets the leftovers, the dirt, of society.

Crystal's Employment Enjoyment

Andre referred Crystal to work at "the ice den" as suggested by Joanna, a lady who flirts with Andre.

There she was selling hot dogs.

She had been interested in figure skating herself and went there alone after work and skated every day that week.

She came home with 2 days off Sunday and Monday. She shook her snow globe fervently.

Disgrace Faced 🤳

There was a girl named Joanne, and she come from Africa. She feel the beat. She had long shiny yellow hair and light bright blue eyes and her naturally pale skin.

Crystal "had heard a lot about her." Not much was going on "meanwhile, back at the ranch." She put down her letter about Joanne and crushed her hands and seethed, successfully.

The girls of the orchestra, "all the while," were behaving rather foolishly. They made a disgrace of Andre Rieu.

Little Beauty Over One Summer 🛼 🥏

So, children are out of school in summer, but the orchestra plays on like in July in Maastricht.

Crystal spent more time to herself even and away from others but did play in Maastricht and was with some people then. The touring life is hard on a child.

So, she had a love of skating, and over the summer she spent her days many skating in a rink. In the winter, she would do more ice skating. She went to the pool, and the chlorine bleached her hair, for her, as it did any fair maiden frequenting its clear blue'd waters.

Summer done, everyone came out, mostly tanned but heftier. Crystal did a lot of playing and was not lazy and looked rather petite, still 5'6", as she had been. She was still slender with dainty features. She had always been supple, so a little healthily plump.

"All I've Done" 🧁

Crystal was both a dancer and a violinist. She was very good at dance and started very young and was very good, already then.

"Now," she said to herself, "Don't you have to 'slave away' to be good at music? ...And, after all this, people only wish to see me as a dancer? Then, they want to use race as a random topic? when our ethnicities are all different and I am not racist, in the slightest."

It was time for frolic and folly, but "little old" Crystal preferred to stay to herself. Andre came over to her, this time, and asked what was the matter. She told him how she felt. He bent over readily and tried to comfort her then left her.

Is it music? 🕳

One mystery about Andre Rieu was if he was into that he was all he was because he was amicable or because of his love for his father's music and maybe his father's musical friends.

It was first rehearsal, and everyone showed up, eager to see Andre, upfront. They all looked to him for the goods, "you might say." He was all into his music already for them, and they mostly looked confused, though he loved them all "dearly."

Little Frilly was perched on a countertop, age 16 but small like a child kinda, still. He went up to her lovingly and carried her over to a seat in the orchestra, a violinist.

Crystal, still 14, was already in her "section" to sit in, so it would seem. She was "up for the challenge." Now, in the orchestra, you are not uptight to "show your stuff..."

So, they went through such glorious music! of different sentiments. Andre was brilliant.

It was time for a snack break, and Crystal had some rather healthy tasty cookies and some tea. Some people skipped, like many people who work overtime without food.

It was time to practice, and everything went fine, so it would seem.

They "took a lunch."

This evening, some stayed and practiced together, like Crystal, and others went off, as if to practice their "parts" on their own. Frilly went to play in daycare, in fact. She was brilliant at her music, too, and looked at it for awhile.

Finally, "day is done." Everyone leaves some of their stuff there and takes with them other things. Andre invites them to be social and go out, and a handful do this time. Crystal comes along. She is about 5'6". They go to a bar, but Crystal is 14 and knows not to drink, yet.

"Bright Ideas" for the Future 🥞

It was a world of wonderful people, like Camelot, with a "bright future" ahead, in case you didn't know, already.

Andre had ideas for his orchestra, choir, and solo singers.

Crystal was recording herself play violin, which she played since she was a young girl. She was trying to get good recordings of herself to promote. She had always been good enough with her practicing, when she was learning.

...And, so, Andre had a new schedule ready for his musical members.

He was always open to talking, that's what made him Andre. Most people took him for granted waiting like a trap to see if someone worthy would get to talk to him. Everyone privately liked him. It was a "helter skelter" situation. Not much to it other than just that, what it was.

Trip Home From Show 🗝

Several "young adult" girls came floating in and giggling like fairies, from the orchestra of Andre Rieu. Alas, it was time for a month long break and this show had just concluded successfully and gave them jitters.

Top secret, though, this was not just 1 little recital. In lieu, they just gave a concert series. What made their orchestra unique now was how Andre would interact each performance. They dressed up somewhat old fashioned but very glamorous, and it interested the audience and kept them focused and centered. Before each concert, if you were lucky you could speak to Andre at the big banquet where he would come and sit with the audience, of course after extensive security checks and body guards watching flanked nearby.

Things conceded, and the orchestra was overcome with excitement. They bounded into the train to the hotel.

Crystal say with some girls around her age, the youngest group. She was 14 years old. The other girls were 13-16.

It was a long train ride with stops. Crystal walked past Andre, and he asked of her mood, "What are you feeling? You look a little lost.."

"I'm feeling fine," she reiterated.

"Come," he said, like a ghost, and he extended his arm to her and took her hand, and, as she crawled over to him, he nestled her in his lap and had her sit slanted up by his ear with her legs straddling forward so you could see her pretty sandals. He had a conversation with Crystal and asked the butler for some food for both her and himself. Finally, they arrived at the hotel, again, and Andre took Crystal to the pool since no one else wanted to go, lucky it was open so late as it was an elite resort. Everyone had been so festive, but now they busted out and got into "trouble" and felt cool for awhile, as would wont most these days in that way. Crystal had a good time in the water a long time, and Andre came in with her the 2nd half, was on his tablet for awhile and talking on his cell phone to some people to do with business of the evening's commencement. He pulled her out of the pool and wrapped a towel around her shoulders as they walked back to the hotel. He picked her up and carried her and said they would go on Facebook. He put her on natural pills from a Chinese doctor for medicine when MySpace shut down. It was almost as bad as coronavirus. Things that existed before, the hype over drugs and rehab and cursing that existed as trash after was over.

Crystal looked over and up and Andre and said, "Ooh, let's play in the arcade," playfully and tugged him.

"Now, Crystal, I realize we are all equally 'adults,' but I'd rather go on my tablet and chat on my cell phone and you can play alone and show me your prizes at the end."

Crystal played games and won prizes. She actually did very well and won the very stuffed animal she wanted, a top prize that was rather smaller than average and "not too shabby."

She showed Andre her prize, an alien animal of wonderful orange rainbow colors. She loved it so much and trotted off and he ushered her into her bathroom and helped her bathe and get dressed well for bed. She wore a pink and green pajama dress and pants and hat with a tie and Andre put her to bed and kissed her.

Andre went to his suite and got ready for bed, made sure he ate and drank as he went on his laptop for a couple hours and turned out the lights.

Once Upon a Time... 🍃

...There was a wonderful boy named Andre Rieu. He was a wonderful violinist and pianist. He grew to lead an orchestra just like his father. It had a slew of young girls and strapping young boys and an array of talented "adult" musicians. He was a wonderful young guy. He had shiny gold wavy hair and sparkling, glowing eyes of sapphire and crystal blue. He had fair gold flushed skin.

He had a friend, a young girl whose name was Crystal. She had crystal eyes outlined in sapphire. Her hair was like a fair buttercream and shiny with platinum and gold. It was wavy like Andre's with girly curls. Her skin was cream and flushed with gold and pink.
