//------------------------------// // Act 1: Two faces on a snowy day. // Story: A Thespian's Pride. // by Genesis Swift //------------------------------// Hello I am Thespian Dark actor, producer, and owner of my very theatre. Next week is the first anniversary of my theatre The Dark Age Theatre. I've been planning a huge new play for just the occasion. The play sets in one of the cold winters of Stalliongrad following the protagonist Frosten Dewlovich and his younger sister Icelia Dewlovich. A play written by me, I can't wait to have it performed out on stage for the anniversary .The beautiful touching first act starts with a cloudy morning... It's the start of a cloudy morning and the snow falls to the ground, coming together with the rest of its kind. This is Stalliongrad's coldest time of the year, and its most beautiful. Frosten Dewlovich, a light grey coated unicorn with an ice blue mane is walking with his sister, Icelia, a white coated unicorn filly with a near white pink shaded mane. "Icelia stay close, I don't want you catching a cold." Frost had a caring natural mature voice for a colt his age, which was 19. While his younger sister Ice had a sweet voice that could soothe hearts with a warm embrace, even in this cold winter. "Brother, are we almost home?" Frost looked around for any landmarks he recognized close to home. He saw the streets paved with snow and the many brick buildings around him, all filled with friendly ponies that were all warm inside their homes. He saw the courtyard with the fountain in the middle frozen and the crooked lamppost that was just a block away from home. "Y..Yea, Ice we're just a block away from home then I'll make us something to warm us up with. Hows that sound?" "Delightful," she said with a smile. Frost couldn't help but smile back, he loved his sister; when she was happy he was happy, and that smile always kept him moving forward. His sister meant everything to him, and he meant everything to her; she was so kind so caring for others rather than herself. Anyone that ever saw those two together knew how wonderful the bond between them was. "It was really nice of Mrs. Letterlov to let us stay the night at her place during the blizzard that came through," Frost said with a thankful tone. "Shes such a nice lady," Icelia thought of a great idea, "Oh big brother we should do something for her to show our thanks." "I'll think of something we can do but first," Frost opened the door to their house, "Lets get inside and warm up." The house Frost and Ice lived in was a nice home; decent in size and decor from a library too many paintings hung up in the hallways. Ice went and laid down next to the fireplace in the living room while Frost prepared something in the kitchen adjacent to it. He looked up at his younger sister relaxing next to the fireplace. "Hey Ice, do you want marshmallows in your hot chocolate?" "Yes, please." Frost came into the living room with two steaming cups of cocoa levitated by blue magic from a simple spell. "Here you go one hot cocoa with marshmallows, careful it's hot," One of the cups now glowed a lighter blue and levitated towards Icelia. "Thank you," Ice said taking a short sip. "Your Welcome," Frost responded laying next to his sister drinking his hot chocolate. After awhile the two had finished their drinks and Frost proceeded to wash them in the kitchen. His sister had fallen asleep and he just continued washing a looking up at his sister peacefully sleeping next to the fireplace. A few knocks were heard from the front door soon after and Frost went to answer it. Opening the door Frost had caught site of a friend who he had always secretly admired. A beautiful pegasus by the name of Tundra, Tundra Glisten. Her coat was a shade of ecru so pale it was nearly white, especially in the sunshine, and her mane a gorgeous burnt sienna. "Morning Frost, may I come in?" She said with a sweet tone of voice that Frost had fallen in love with. "Of course come right in, quiet though Icelia is sleeping." They walked into the kitchen area. Frost's heartbeat pounded his chest whenever he was around Tundra; hes been wanting to tell her his feelings for her but never had the courage to do so. They both looked over at Ice who still was asleep. "Shes so adorable you're such a great brother to her," Tundra said admiring Frost for his kindness toward his sister. "Yea shes everything I care about and I'm just glad I can make her happy," Those words were everything Frost honestly continued to live by, he was always working towards a better life for Ice. "You're the sweetest pony I know Frost; kind, responsible, and so caring to everypony around you." Frost's cheeks glowed a deep red at the compliment from his love interest. He continued to look inside himself for the courage to ask Tundra out, but still without luck. "You're the greatest pony I know Tundra, your kind, smart, always caring for Ice and I, helpful, and beautiful," Frost let that word slip without noticing, but it was true she is a gorgeous mare. Tundra blushed at the kind honest words Frost had spoken. "Oh Frost you're so wonderful," She gave Frost a kiss on the cheek, "I'm gonna head to my parents' house now they need help with the restaurant it was great stopping by," She walked to the door, "Feel free to say hi to me anytime Frost its always great seeing you and Icelia," and with those words she left. Frost was frozen at the end of hallway looking towards the door. Paralyzed by Tundra's little thank you on the way out. He was then cured of being paralyzed when his sister happened to be up and awake. "Why don't you just tell her you like her?" Frost then felt awkward at the thought that his sister might have seen Tundra's little peck on the cheek before she left. Frost was gonna try to explain to his younger sister but she understood what Frost thought already. "I know you like her Frost, you always jumble your words and your cheeks always turn a deep red shade whenever shes around," Ice looked towards the door with a smile, "She sure is pretty. I bet she likes you to Frost." Frost sighed, "Well Ice it just isn't that easy to share feelings, it takes strength and time and I haven't found the strength in me yet." Frost put on a jacket to stay warm from the cold. Icelia proceeded to put on her winter gear as well. "The snow has stopped for awhile lets head to Mrs. Letterlov's house and see if we can help her with anything." Ice nodded her head with a smile in agreement with the idea, "It will be wonderful to help her for her kindness last night." "Indeed but its noon now and it'd best to be back by six so we don't get caught up in another storm." And the two were off in hope to help somepony with anything they needed to show their thanks to them. Act 1 End.
