- Act One: Part 1 -
Accepted…
The man sat back on his large old fashion chair, two pieces of paper on his hand. He received it just a few minutes ago and he immediately opened it up. He realized that both letters were short and simple, but he had a grin on his face.
The first letter was…
To Head Master John Kyle,
My name is Relena Peacecraft, I am the youngest Student Body President of James Performing Academy
I am a sophomore on the quest to reach my dream
My dream to reach the stars…
Reaching and studied all the qualifications I could find to attend Hyde Private Academy
I started to join Drama Clubs during my Middle School
Continuing them when I started to attend High School…
The Theater is the life that I dreamed to take part
Just thinking of being in a play on any part thrills me
To satisfied and please the audience makes my heart fly
I belong on the stage.
He then flips it over to the next letter.
To Head Master John Kyle,
My name is Hilde Schibecker, I am the first sophomore student who became the Student Body Vice President of James Performing Academy
I have research all I could find about Hyde Private Academy. My search has led me to my final decision…
To reach my dream, to stand on the stage
To play a part of something that others would be please and happy to see…
I love the surprise, twist and change of moods of audiences,
Their reactions means a lot to me
Of how they enjoy and feel thrilled of watching the play
That many actors and actress have practiced to put together.
The very thought excites me
It makes me happy
- From Relena Peacecraft
He put both letters down on top of two manila folders with two pictures paper clipped on the side, it was Relena and Hilde's school picture. The man looked outside his window as he watched the peaceful scenery of space. With a smile, he said:
"This oath to be interesting…"
On Earth:
"It's been a week since we sent our letter," Hilde licked her double strawberry ice cream, "The Head Master of HPA should have received it today or tomorrow, oh my gosh! I wish we got it!"
Relena licked her double rocky road ice cream, "I know what you mean, I'm very nervous my self…"
"Just think of the possibilities for us going to HPA that would be like Heaven for me…"
"I know what you mean," Hilde agreed, "But we will have our upside and downs, especially from other student that were going to compete and come across with…"
"It won't be all fun and games for both of us…"
"I understand that H, it just that…" Relena sighed deeply, "It's just that I'm very excited and very nervous at the same time, it feels like my heart is going to burst out of my chest just thinking of all the things we could accomplish if we get accepted…"
Relena grab Hilde's free hand, "H, can you see it? Our name in lights and the crowds cheering wild for us! All the possibilities… Can you see it?"
Hilde got a dreamy look in her eyes, "Yeah, the crowds on the edge of their seats… There eyes wide open as the show goes on, the excited cheering and the applause and the finale they will never forget… I can see it…"
Both girls were lost in their own thought when the sunny sky turning gray. Relena was the first to notice.
"We should get going; I'll ask Pagan to give you a ride…" Relena stood up; continue to eat her ice cream as Hilde followed.
"Thanks, Lena" Hilde giggled as she licked the dripping cream off her finger, "Let's go chill at the Shake n Roll tomorrow and play some bowling then catch the a movie afterwards?"
"That sounds great, we can check out the new restaurant near the plaza after that." Relena first slide inside the car then Pagan who was on the driver seat, already knew where to go first.
"Great, that sounds cool!" Hilde smiled, "Guess we already have plans for tomorrow!"
The rain began to come down when they reached Hilde's home.
Hilde's Family were middle class that owns 5 shopping industry of food and supplies, they are also connected to the Peacecraft Medical Industry that helps there company for the pass 10 years.
Relena's families were the high class family that owns large industry of computers, brand name product, hospitals to high class hotels around the earth.
Both girls met 10 years ago when Hilde's Father came to the Relena's Father for a medical connection partnership which Mr. Peacecraft happily agreed.
"Alright Hilde, I'll pick you up at 12pm, ok?" Relena called out from the car.
Hilde was already on the front of the door and waved at Relena, "Ok!"
The car drove away and Hilde walked in, she was greeted by her Mother and younger brother.
"Hey sweetie, how was your day?" Her mother asked who was folding some new fresh cloths.
"Another fun day, I'm never bored with Relena" Hilde answered as she took off her wet shoes, "What's for dinner?"
"Oh, your Father is in the kitchen…" Her Mother giggled, "He wanted to surprise us…"
Hilde smiled as she poked her 10 year old brother, "How was your day?"
Samuel pout, "Mom made me clean my room…"
Hilde laughs when her Mother gave him an eye, "It was a disaster and I wanted clean… Either I go in there or you clean it your self…"
Samuel then sighed and nodded, "Yeah, I guess…"
Just then, a man walked out from the kitchen, "Hilde, go clean up, dinners ready!"
"Ok!" Hilde then climbed up the stairs to her room.
Changing her cloths, she looked outside her window. The rain was really coming down, she then looked at her wall clock, and it was 6:36pm.
Hilde was about to walk out of her room when her cell phone rang, she picked it up.
"Hello?" she answered.
"Hello, is this Ms. Hilde Schibecker?" It was woman voice.
"Yes, it's me" Hilde answered, she was already outside her room.
"Ms. Schibecker, you have a collect call from space, will you take it?" The woman asked.
Hilde was already halfway climbing down the stairs when she froze, from space?
"Y-yes, of course, I'll take the call" Hilde rushed toward the dining table between her Mother and Father, "I'll take the call from space…"
The words were rushed but Hilde's family caught on, they all listen.
"Very well then," The woman said, "You are now connected, have a nice evening…"
Hilde felt so nervous she couldn't speak but her Mother gave her a push, she opened her mouth, "Hello?"
"Hello, Ms. Schibecker," It was a deep voice of a man, "My name is Cloud Gray, I am the Counselor of Hyde Private Academy for juniors"
"How are you this evening?"
Hilde felt her self choked, "I-I'm fine, thank you very much…"
The man on the other line chuckled, "Don't be nervous Ms. Schibecker, why don't you relax and be your self, hmm?"
Hilde suddenly sat down and inhales deeply and let it out slowly, she took a few minutes before answering again, "I'm sorry, I was just in shock…"
The man laughed now, "That's alright, anyway…"
"We have received your paper works today and we went through them…" The man was now serious and Hilde's attention was on his voice, "Ms. Schibecker, do you understand that we are after talented and gifted students that would stop at nothing to reach their dreams… We do not allow failures in our school and also, we expect our students to be in good records…"
"I understand all of it," Hilde's voice was now serious and steady, "I understand and I will not fail…"
There was a few minutes of silence that created a very uncomfortable moments. Hilde just realized that she was put in on a speaker phone but she decided not to let them know.
"I've love the theater since I was a little girl," Hilde started, "When I first watched the show Romeo and Juliet, I fell in love of how they moved the audience and how they create such beautiful dramatic scenes that excites the crowd…"
"I wish to be part of that scene…"
Hilde exhales the breath she was holding and was holding on to something warm, she looked down. It was Samuel's hand who was supporting her with a smile on his face. She gave his hand a loving squeezed.
"Ms. Schibecker, we have come to a conclusion…" The man started to say.
Hilde held her breath. Her Family was patiently waiting but also excited and nervous, they continued to listen.
"T-thank you very much, Mr. Gray…" Hilde exhale and hang up the phone.
She dropped down to her seat with foggy eyes, Samuel began to call her name.
"Sis? Sis? You ok?" Samuel shook her shoulder, "What did he say to you? Are you ok?"
"Hilde? Darling, what happened?" Her Mother stood up and already by her side.
Mr. Schibecker was beside her as well, "Sweetie?"
Just then without warning Hilde grinned like Christmas was early, she jumped up from her seat and picked up Samuel.
"I'm in!" She shouted excitedly, "I was accepted!"
Her Mother gasped and tears were filling up her eyes, "Oh, my baby!"
Mr. Schibecker was astonished and sat down, "My little girls going to space…"
Hilde came around him and hugged him around the neck, "Dad, I'm so happy! My dream of going to HPA is coming true!"
Her Father closed his eyes and smiled, "I am VERY proud of you!"
Then the family celebrated, they were happy and there was nothing that will change it.
Peacecraft Mansion
Relena was on her window seat reading a book when she received a call from her cell.
"Hello?" Relena answered.
"Hello, could I speak to Ms. Relena Peacecraft please?" It was a man voice, "I have a phone call for you from space, will you accept?"
Relena gasped, "Yes, of course!"
"Very well then," Then there was a beep, "You are now connected, have a good evening…"
Relena relaxed her self, "Hello? Relena Peacecraft speaking…"
"Hello, Ms. Peacecraft," It was a woman voice, "My name is Alisa Hay, I am one of the Counselor of Hype Private Academy at L1 Colony…"
"We have received a transfer request from Mrs. Diana Parker of Jameson Performing Academy that arrived today," The woman sounded very elegant and friendly, "I have a couple of questions for you, Ms. Peacecraft…"
"Alright, what is your question?" Relena was nervous but kept her cool.
"Well, my first is that why choose our school?" The woman asked.
"Well, I have witness many famous actress and actors that graduated from your school, also, many have become Broadway stars but that's not really why I decided to attend your school…" Relena closed her eyes and smile, "I dream to learn how to excite, please and take the breath away of my audience someday…"
"And for me to reach on that goal is to study all different style of being an actress from different experienced mentors…"
When Relena finished she lend against her window, she opened her eyes and waited.
"Are you willing to give it all?" The question was simple and it was sincere.
Relena already knew the answer to that, "Yes, I am ready to give it all…"
"Well then Ms. Peacecraft, congratulation…" The woman said happily, "I'll be seeing you on August… More information will be sent to you, have a good summer…"
"You…too…" Relena was shocked, she dropped the phone.
It was 15mins later that she came around, she ran out of her room and down the stairs to the living room where she found her Parents and older brother sitting in front of the fireplace.
"Mother, Father, Brother…" Relena started, "You wouldn't BELIEVE who just called me…"
Milliardo Peacecraft, 24 years old blinked up to his sister, "A boy asked you out?"
Relena raised and eye brow, "I wish but no…"
Milliardo grunted but his Mother interrupted him, "Who was it dear?"
Relena bit her lower lip and she was giggling like mad, she burst out.
"Hyde Private Academy at L1 Colony, they called me!" Relena announced, "I got accepted!'
Her family's eyes widen and then laughter came. Relena was so happy she stayed up late with her brother Milliardo who was telling her not to goof around too much, don't let anyone talk you down and most of all, no boys…
