Snow Miser got an earful from Mother Nature when he told her that he had pulled his half-brother, North Wind, into one of his own vortexes on the Island of Misfits.

"You did what?!"

"Mother, I had to. He was going to hurt Nina and Tingler, plus the toys on the island."

Mother Nature sighed in frustration. "I can't believe this is happening. Tell me the entire story."

Explaining what happened didn't seem to calm her nerves. "So, where is he now?"

Snow Miser just shrugged. "Hey, it was his own fault."

"That may be so, but I still need to find him; he is my son."

"Well, being stuck who-knows-where might do him some good. Hopefully, he'll never pull a stunt like that again." His eyes gleamed.

Mother Nature stared at him, thoughtfully, then sighed. "You definitely take after me; I also wouldn't let anyone try to hurt my lovers. North Wind is going to have a lot of explaining to do, that is, whenever I find him. Rest assured, he won't get away with what he did. I'll have to think of a punishment. Perhaps doing dishes for the next thousand years? Oh, well. I'll cross that bridge when I get to it."
