Finale
“Life is a journey. We should live our life as what we want. Along the journey, we have to go through a lot. We might make a wrong decision. But then, we learn from our mistake. We should have faith among us that our life has interesting chapter.”
Alex and Landy are standing nearby the lake. Many of the tourists join the trip including some scientists and photographers. All of them wish to see a beautiful aurora.
L – Well, aurora seems shy enough not to see us.
A – Don’t worry, we still have our chance. Just now, Sam was told that there will be spectacular scene tonight.
L – Hope so.
A – What do you want to do after this?
L – After what?
A – Well, you won’t stay forever, right?
L – I don’t know but I think I will go back to California first.
A – You….want to go alone?
L – Unless there is someone who volunteer himself.
A – You really want me to be with you?
L – How about like this? We shout aurora three times, if aurora shows up before the last shout, we go together.
A – You are going to go by yourself then.
L – Come on, you told me to have faith. What now? You’re afraid?
A – Ok then, let’s shout.
They shout for the first time but nothing. Ten seconds later, they shout again and aurora yet to appear. Then, Alex holds her hand and look at her. He has his faith in her and now he is hoping aurora to feel him. Together, they look at the sky. They shout. At the same time, a small green colour aurora shining up in the sky. Later on, there are more to show up. They laugh and hug each other. Many things pop up inside his mind. He hasn’t been laughing so happily for years.
“Sometimes I wonder, if I didn’t kill Josh, I won’t get into jail. But then, I won’t come here and I won’t know Landy. Should I be glad of my mistake? Because of it, I have a future with her. I never thought I deserve a second chance. I really own it now. Finally, it’s a happy ending for both of us. Life is a journey, an endless journey.”
Episode 4
“Life is a journey. The present we’re facing now will become past. The anger we’re feeling now will become regret. Past is something we can’t change. So why don’t we just let it go. Time is a bandage for every wound. We’ll be okay again.”
A – I had been sent into jail before.
L – What?
A – 7 years ago, I killed my friend. Both of us fell into a same girl but they already together for years. I told my friend that I like the girl without knowing that she is his girlfriend. When I saw them together, I thought that I was betrayed. At that moment, I can’t control my anger and I won’t forgive them forever. Then, I became a devil. I planned to kill him. Whenever they went to somewhere together, I broke into the girl’s house. Later on, I found out that she was having an affair with my friend’s brother. Next, I tried to accuse her and others thought the same with me. One day, my friend called me to meet him at his apartment. I convicted the murder that day. If others found out that he was dead, they may blame the girl. Then, I can kill two birds with one stone. This was my plan. However, in the end only I knew that I was wrong the whole time.
L – What happened?
A – They cared about me. They were my friends, not enemies. I regretted but what I did was done. I got my punishment. I made them suffered. If it wasn’t me, they probably lived a happy life with kids and my friend’s mother was enjoying the retired life. During the times in jail, I thought a lot of things. I decided to start a new life. I felt shame to stay close with them. Their life had been misery because of me. I wanted to settle down but before that, I came here. You came here for your family while I came here for my friend. I still remember our conversation that night. First, he apologized to me for what had happened. I pretended to accept it. Then, he told me about his entire plan. He wanted to married the girl and he did some research on the Aurora Borealis Trip. He said that the girl likes aurora and she wishes to see the light. This was his honeymoon plan. But now, it was ruined because of me again. The day I was released, I told her that I will going away without letting her knows the destination. I was too sorry for both of them. I made up my mind. I won’t going back there as I was not deserved a place there.
L – You still can’t let it go.
A – You’re wrong. We already suffered at the past, why still in the future? Accept the past and move on. I will never forgive myself and I will remember the whole life. Live a better day for the people had died as this is what they want from us. So, are you going with me for the trip?
Landy nods her head.
Episode 3
“Life is a journey and disaster is just a part of it. Believe it or not, life becomes more interesting when something tragic happened. Many people actually want it that way because triumph after failure even more memorable.”
Alex walks to the Aurora Lounge at the main lodge and runs into Landy. She is sitting on the couch and reading a book. The book is full of photos with caption written by those people who had joined the Northern Light Trip. Alex knows that deep inside her heart, she really wants to go for the trip. So, Alex walks toward her.
A – Still reject or want to try?
L – This place is near the lake and the nightmare will haunt me whenever I go near it.
A – What nightmare? Try me.
L – When I was a teenage, I ran away from home because my father married a cruel woman. She tried to accuse me on everything and my father didn’t care even if she threatened me. He listened to every word that she had said. However, I decided to go back to my home after wander around the city homelessly. Then I knew that my father was just trying to help his friend who was killed by that woman. I thought I could be happy again living with my father. Who knows something like that happened to us? My father likes to sail and he owned a boat. One day, we sailed to the ocean. Suddenly, there was a storm. I blacked-out exactly when the storm hit us. Then, I woke up in the hospital. They told me that I had been unconscious for two weeks but at that time, I lost my memory due to the trauma. I went for the therapy and recovered slowly. So do my memory, I started to recall back everything one by one. My father died and I survived the storm. That’s why I am hydrophobia now.
A – Then, why do you come to here?
L – I remember once my father mentioned to me when I was a kid. My parents’ wedding was held in here, Yellowknife. My mother died in an accident when I was three. My father raised me up all by himself. He promised me to bring me here to walk down the memory lane. Now, I’m doing it for our family.
A – You are really tough.
L – This place meant a lot for me. My father proposed my mother at the Northern Light Weekend. When they saw the light, my father asked my mother and she said yes. Without this place, I won’t be here at all.
A – Then you should join the trip!
L – I can’t!
A – Let me help you.

So, he decides to walk the same way as she does. She stands still, looking at the lake, but in a sudden, she faints. Alex rushes toward her and holds her.
A - Are you alright?
Girl# - Thanks….I’m…fine.
They walk together back to the main lodge. After drinking hot coffee, the girl feels better. Both of them have a talk. Her name is Landy. Landy tells Alex that she is afraid of water.

At the same time, Samuel comes and explains about the trip to group in the main lodge.
S – Well, there will be a Northern Light Weekend and we will stay in a tent outside near the lake. People who join the trip and wish to capture the beauty of aurora may require tripod, high speed film and a widest angle lens.

Let me know whether you are interested so that all the stuff will be well-prepared.
