|
Author's Description - MCoG REVISITED is set
in the 21st century and once again features three kids, two boys and
a girl, Ben, Matthew, and Stephanie. All California kids from different
high schools, they were each set out on a class assignment to go with
a married couple, Lionel and Alexis, who are tourists to find the legendary
seven Cities of Gold and then right a short report on it. Along the
way on board the ship, Ben and Stephanie discover they each have a bracelet
that, when opened, will open up the doors to the buildings of the Cities
of Gold. Along the way they learn special secrets about their bracelets.
This group endures the theft of their ship and near-fatal instances,
like where Stephanie almost drowns in a storm but Ben saves her life
and gives her CPR, thus beginning a beautiful relationship when Stephanie
kisses him after trying to avoid him for so long because he is such
a "dweeb". Also, Stephanie almost gets sacrificed when a jealous
Amazon tribal princess named Waki is jealous because Stephanie has Ben
and she doesn't. Later Stephanie's sister Elizabeth joins the group.
Matthew faces disappointment when a girl he likes turns out to be engaged
and later doesn't return Elizabeth's crush on him, but in the end he
will find true love with Gertrude, a girl from Europe.

Author's Description - In the story fifteen years will have
passed since the cartoon's setting, so the year is 1547, set back in
Barcelona. The kids have crossed the Pacific and found the rest of the
seven cities of gold, and they're now all grown up. They flew back to
Barcelona to prepare to meet Mendoza in the tavern, and Esteban shows
them inside the cathedral where he grew up, and soon after he and Zia
get married. They have two children and live in a house near Barcelona's
cathedral, with Tao. The children, Miguel and Conchetta, are adventurous,
and Miguel wants to fly the Golden Condor and make his daddy proud.
"Papa, did you always like being up so high?" Zia overhears
and says, "No, darling. Your father used to have a real fear of
heights." "Zia, darling, I wouldn't say I was AFRAID...I would
just get dizzy. Anyway, Miguel, my dear son, it takes a lot of coordination
and concentration, and I don't feel like you're old enough yet."
"But, Papa..."
