	"Mother oh how great it is to see you," I said giving my mother a hug.

"Thespian what brings you back here to home, how are you?"

I haven't seen my mother in so long but she didn't change one bit; I guess I can blame my brother for that, probably broke half the house while I was away. He's broken things in ways I didn't think was even possible.

"I'm doing great mother, you could say I'm living the dream, I own my very own theater now."

"Oh why didn't you tell me? I would love to see a play of yours," she didn't even know what I've been doing for the past few years.

"That brings me back to what I came here for mother, four days from now is my theater's one year anniversary..."

She interrupted, "One year! Really that long?"

"Yes mom that long, anyways I want you to come see the special play I have for the anniversary. I want you to be there mom there is so much I left behind unfinished when I left," I started with a tone upset with myself, "I didn't tell you anything, I never mailed you how I was doing, or where I was, I never visited, and I feel terrible that I pretended this part of me never existed. I wanna make up for all that time starting today."

My mother looked at me with a face that showed motherly forgiveness, "Oh Thespian I always care about you no matter what, you're my son, I would love to go to see a play of yours."

A sigh of relief was let out by myself as I thought about the many troubles I truly had left alone. Don't get it twisted I'm a happy producer; but there is always something more that anypony can do to make their life better.
I intend to make myself better towards everyone. Lets just all start the world over, I wish it was that easy.

I had a long chat with my mother over the many things I had done and become while I was away.  It was great to go back through old memories; I did have some pretty good ones, more than I thought I had. While my brother was asking for more bits the whole time I was over, I denied him and told him to get a life.

I settled my problems that swam through my mind. I felt like I could finish this play. After a lovely dinner I levitated a ticket for my mother to come to Fillydelphia. It's bad enough my brother mooches off her, the least I could do was pay for the trip and her stay. I gave her a big hug and smile before I left for the train station for home.

Another trip on the train home in the middle of the night, thoughts turned into dreams, dreams turned into ideas for play writes. 





Frost woke up brighter than ever that morning. He made breakfast, cleaned the house, and washed himself up before Ice even had a chance to wake up. How could he not be so excited for the day he had a date!

Ice came from the stairs wiping her eyes from still being in the morning fatigue feel, "Good morning brother you, seem lively this morning," she smiled with a drowsy look.

Frost smiled towards his sister, "Good morning Ice I made you toast, beautiful solid toast, with butter. You know, how` can I not be lively I got a date today; and I also have a present for you."

Ice's eyes lit up, "Oh joy a present brother, for me," she trotted up and hugged her brother looking up into his eyes, "What you get me brother? Please oh please tell me," she than looked off in the distance than back to her brother with a confused expression on her face, "Toast can't be liquified?"

Frost laughed a bit, "You'd be surprise what some ponies can do when they cook; and the present I'll give you right after breakfast," Frost than pointed to the breakfast he had made signaling it was time to eat.

The toast was wonderful and crunchy while the eggs were scrambled to perfection. Frost than levitated two tickets toward his sister smiling. Ice was caught by surprise when she looked up and saw them, she grabbed the tickets via levitation magic and took a closer look.

"Two tickets, but to where brother?"

"Novyy Rogachik a place not to far away but it hosts the most beautiful forest filled with weird magical lights during winter; some ponies think it's Grandfather Wind that causes the beautiful magical lights."

Ice had a huge smile of joy on her face and hugged her brother tightly, "I love it brother, oh joy this is going to be so much fun when do we go?"

"Tomorrow," Frost said with a big smile on his face.

Ice squeaked with joy. She was ecstatic to go.

Frost and Ice left their house to see if they could help around outside; much to their surprise the sun was beaming and it must of not of snowed because there was less of it.

"Wow it's almost as if it was a colder spring day," Frost said astounded by the days weather.

The siblings decided it was a perfect day then to go out shopping and not have to worry about the weather slowing them down. When they arrived at the general store there in town it was obvious to expect a lot of other ponies decided on the same idea; even Tundra herself was there.

"Good morning Tundra," Frost said with enthusiasm.

"Oh, hey Frost good morning! What brings you here at the hour," Tundra responded in surprise.

"Oh I'm just getting some supplies for Ice and I; as well as a few ingredients for dinner tonight."

Tundra took a glance at what Frost had levitating beside him, "I look forward to it," she then looked down to Ice, "And how are you Icelia you seem like a happy filly this morning."

Ice responded quickly with glee, "Brother and I are going on a trip to Novvy Rogachik to see the magical forest lights."

"Yea I thought it was a great idea to have Ice see new things out of town."

"Oh wow that actually seems really exciting. I had heard about the lights over there, they're supposed to be beautiful."

Frost had a quick thought of having a romantic date there with Tundra but he was going with his sister, it was just them and that's all he wanted. He still thought to himself maybe next year he can do that. After a short talk with Tundra, Frost and Ice bought their things and headed home to prepare for the afternoon. 

Frost had bought more decorative items for the house to which Ice immediately went around placing; after a short lunch and admiration of the new decor Frost begun to cook for his dinner date, which was a perfect selection of spaghetti and wheatballs.

Ice was in the kitchen helping him prepare the meal when sudden realization occurred in her mind, "Oh brother you need to dress up, Tundra will be here at any moment!"

Frost took this sudden realization and without a word ran up the stairs into his room. Ice stayed and watched the dinner, she was a good cook herself learning a lot from her brother. Not soon after he ran up the stairs Frost was back down looking at his sister with a "does this look good kind of face" he was dressed casually.

"This is a date brother, you need to look more... I think the term is suave," Ice said which she than proceeded to go upstairs into their parents room. She came back down holding a tux via levitation that was most likely their fathers, "Here try this I bet it fits you."

Frost came back down with the tuxedo on and gave his sister the same look. Ice glanced at the outfit on her brother till she got an idea. She levitated a snow white petaled rose she had in her mane and slipped it into the tuxedos chest pouch.

"Perfect," she said with a smile, which was followed by a knocking on the front door.

Act End.
