ALVIN<br>

What's that?<br>

<br>

<br>

THOMAS<br>

A work in progress.<br>

<br>

<br>

(Alvin takes the pages and reads.)<br>

<br>

<br>

ALVIN<br>

"Every Christmas Eve we’d make angels in the snow, just like every other kid has done.<br>

We’d stretch out our arms and legs. Then we’d wave them to and fro, in a halo of the<br>

late December sun."<br>

<br>

<br>

"AND ONCE A YEAR WE BELIEVED<br>

THERE WAS MAGIC ALIVE IN THE AIR<br>

FOR THE ANGELS WE MADE LYING THERE."<br>

<br>

<br>

Hm. I like this.<br>

<br>

<br>

"PROUDLY WE’D CREATE<br>

OUR TWO ANGELS IN THE SNOW<br>

WITH REVERENTIAL ROBES AND PERFECT WINGS.<br>

WE’D SPEND HOURS IN THE YARD<br>

ALL THOSE CHRISTMASES AGO<br>

AND WHEN AT LAST THEY WERE COMPLETE<br>

WE FELT LIKE KINGS.<br>

<br>

<br>

THEN AS THE SUN DISAPPEARED..."<br>

<br>

<br>

(Alvin realizes that this is all Thomas has written.)<br>

<br>

<br>

This is it, Tom?<br>

<br>

<br>

(Thomas takes the pages from Alvin and searches for words to complete the sentence.)<br>

<br>

<br>

THOMAS<br>

THEN AS THE SUN DISAPPEARED...<br>

AND WITH SNOW DOWN THE BACK OF OUR PANTS<br>

WE WOULD WAIT FOR OUR ANGELS TO DANCE.<br>

<br>

<br>

(Thomas tosses the pages into the air creating a blizzard of papers.<br>

The blizzard becomes a gentle snowfall.)<br>

<br>

<br>

THE ICY WIND WOULD WHIP THE SNOW FROM THE GROUND<br>

<br>

<br>

ALVIN<br>

AND THE TREES WOULD MOAN A SWEET CELESTIAL SOUND.<br>

<br>

<br>

THOMAS<br>

THEN THE ANGEL SOULS WERE WIDE AWAKE<br>

<br>

<br>

BOTH<br>

AND ALIVE ON EVERY SINGLE FLAKE.<br>

<br>

<br>

THEY WHIRLED ALL AROUND US<br>

AS WE STOOD LIKE STONE.<br>

THOUSANDS OF ANGELS WITH LIVES OF THEIR OWN.<br>

<br>

<br>

EACH ONE WITH A SEPARATE STORY<br>

JOINING IN ONE BURST OF GLORY.<br>

<br>

<br>

THOMAS<br>

BUT THEN THE SNOWFLAKES SCATTERED AND THEY FLEW<br>

AND OUR ANGELS DID TOO.<br>

<br>

<br>

BOTH<br>

EVERY CHRISTMAS EVE<br>

WE’D MAKE ANGELS IN THE SNOW<br>

<br>

<br>

THOMAS<br>

AND EVERY YEAR WE’D WATCH THEM DISAPPEAR.<br>

<br>

<br>

ALVIN<br>

THEY’D DISAPPEAR.<br>

<br>

<br>

THOMAS<br>

BUT I KNOW THAT THEY’LL RETURN<br>

AND THOUGH THE YEARS MAY COME AND GO<br>

WHEN I NEED TO HAVE THEM WITH ME THEY’LL BE HERE.<br>

<br>

<br>

(Alvin looks Thomas in the eye with reassurance.)<br>

<br>

<br>

ALVIN<br>

THEY’LL BE HERE.<br>

<br>

<br>

THOMAS<br>

THEY’LL BE HERE.<br>

<br>

<br>

ALVIN<br>

THEY’LL BE HERE.<br>

<br>

<br>

BOTH<br>

SWIRLING ROUND AND AROUND<br>

IN A MAGICAL CHRISTMAS EVE GLOW.<br>

THE WAY THEY DID THEN<br>

BACK WHEN WE WERE JUST TEN<br>

ALL OUR ANGELS AGAIN<br>

IN THE SNOW.<br>

<br>

<br>

(Thomas and Alvin embrace one final time and Alvin vanishes.<br>

Thomas finds himself once again in the funeral chapel.<br>

He goes to the podium, closes his notebook and speaks.)<br>

<br>

<br>

THOMAS<br>

We are gathered to honor the life of Alvin Kelby. He was my best friend.<br>

<br>

<br>

Let me tell you a story about Alvin...<br>
