Previously on Lightning Point.

I'd be interested in quadrupeds. If I can connect with this aura, I could use

some of my energy to calm him down. This would be your alien energy.

We don't know how everything here on Earth works. I'm sure I can work them

out. How hard can they be?

Hey, I admit, I had some technical difficulties.

That's the sauce going.

Perfect.

It needs something.

Flavour.

Did Kiki help you with this?

No, I cooked it myself this time.

I'm sorry, Zoe.

Don't take this the wrong way, but it's awful. Bad. The worst thing I've ever

tasted. Yes.

Try not to take that the wrong way.

Maybe we should start over.

Good idea.

Sorry I'm late.

I was talking to Luca.

He offered to give me riding lessons tomorrow.

You and Luca seem to be getting friendly.

Yeah.

We are.

Just wondering, is the real attraction going riding, or have you got a little

crush on Luca?

And what's a crush?

It's when you've got feelings for someone. Like a boy, for example.

Feel what for them?

You know, when you get that warm, fuzzy feeling when you think about him. A

sudden urge to write him a song.

Butterflies in his stomach.

I don't feel anything like that.

But you like him.

Yes. This is all ridiculous.

People on Lumina don't have crushes.

Really? So when do you know if you like someone?

There are questionnaires.

Compatibility tests. If you get a match of 98% or more, then you're compatible.

Gee, how romantic.

It's not as easy as you think.

There are over 5,000 questions.

What about mutual attraction?

It's all covered in the test.

Can you imagine being matched with someone without even knowing their

score? It would be chaotic.

Amber, what are you doing here?

Oh, nothing much. Just happened to be passing by.

It feels like we haven't talked for ages.

I guess it's been a couple of hours, yeah?

Could I have a word with you about Kiki?

What about her?

Do you like her?

Uh, I don't know. I guess so.

We like hanging out.

Well, she seems pretty convinced that you like her.

Interesting. I mean, that's good to know.

I had no idea. I mean, I wondered... So, do you like her?

Yeah.

Yeah, I guess I do.

Congratulations. You finally noticed girls exist.

I was wondering how long that would take.

Give me a break. So I haven't talked to as many girls as you. No big deal.

You've only been talking to Amber since you were five.

That's different.

Amber's just a friend.

Hello, I'm right here.

I mean, she's a great girl, but she's not a girl, girl, if you know what I

mean. Okay, I've got a life to live and I'm pretty sure it's not here.

Amber, wait.

Amber, look, I said I was sorry.

It's okay.

So, uh...

Think he's been talking about me, huh?

Occasionally. What sort of things does she say?

Please, Luca, I've said too much already.

Okay.

Do you know if she's free tomorrow?

Probably.

What do you think she'd say if I asked her out? Luca!

Come on, you're her friend.

I'm your friend too, you know.

Look, I just wanted to find out how you felt, just in case.

Just in case what?

Just be careful, okay?

Kiki's not like all the other girls.

What do you mean?

Nothing. Forget I said anything.

I've got to go.

There's something more in these files.

I know it.

I'm tired.

Can't we just relax for once?

We've been over these a thousand times already.

These files helped steer us here in the first place.

There must be a reason for that. We found them by accident. They were taken

for a reason.

Why take so many of the same cane field?

I don't see anything.

Aren't you going to get that?

It's only Luca. He can wait.

You're upset.

I'm not upset.

Really?

Since when do you read Gardening Weekly?

What's going on with you two?

Nothing. It's fine.

You've always been close. Do I detect a bit of tension?

Maybe.

Over what?

It's Kiki.

They've been spending a lot of time together and things, you know,

developing.

I guess I've never seen him interested in a girl before.

You mean a girl other than you?

We're just friends.

If you have feelings for him, maybe you should tell him.

Mum, me and Luca are really close, but we don't think of each other in that

way. No go zone, okay?

Okay. I understand.

You've never had to share him before, have you?

Thanks.

You're welcome.

You're really coming along.

I'd love to show you the Hinterland Trail. It's beautiful this time of year.

That sounds great, but I don't think I can today.

I've got to go to work.

But we could always meet up after my shift, grab something to eat if you

want.

Sort of like a, um...

Lunch date?

I finish at four.

Late lunch.

I'll be there.

So what do you think?

This one or this one?

This one's probably a better colour, isn't it?

Aren't you just going to work?

Yeah.

Oh.

Is there one customer you're trying to impress?

Is it that obvious?

You'll be fine.

Trust me. Luke has only got eyes for you.

What do you mean?

I think he might have a crush on you.

Have you ever had a crush on anyone?

Well, me and Luca used to have a kind of a tiny crush on each other back in

fourth grade.

What happened?

We were just little kids.

We grew out of it.

Do you think that's how we'll end up too?

Crushes don't always last forever.

How long do they last?

Hard to say, but you're from different planets.

It's tough enough keeping in touch with someone from the next town.

So, what's it called if the boy you have a crush on

doesn't have a crush on you?

Heartbreak.

Unless you've got a crush on someone else, and it's called jealousy.

And no way am I jealous.

Me and Luca are friends.

End of story.

I just don't want to see either of you get hurt.

How about this one?

No. Two last year.

You know, this could be really dangerous, Kiki.

Luca is looking for signs of extraterrestrial activity.

I think we can have a burger together without the galaxy imploding.

I hope so.

Then why don't you come with me?

That way you can be sure.

I don't know if that's a great idea. I mean, three can be a crowd.

I want you to come with me.

Please? Too much?

No.

Fine.

You look cool.

Luca, relax.

The diner, it's a good choice. Keep it simple, familiar.

And... Lucky for you, I'm free to be a wingman.

What?

No.

No, I don't want you to be my wingman.

You're a rabbit in the woods in the dating department.

You need me out there.

Babe in the woods. And I'm quite capable of going on a date by myself.

I can be discreet.

No.

You will not show up there.

Understood?

Okay.

Okay.

You want to crash and burn?

Go ahead.

Oh, wow.

You look great.

I do?

Thanks.

You look good, too.

I've got us a table.

Amber.

What are you doing here?

I asked your mom.

I thought we could all be together.

Friends.

Isn't this going to be fun?

Yeah.

Right.

Well, I might just go and order some food or something.

Everything okay?

Yeah, fine.

Kiki!

Kiki!

Kiki!

I'm sort of hoping Emma doesn't hurry back too soon.

I thought it would be just you and me.

You two have been friends for so long. Yeah.

But I was hoping you and me could be more than just friends.

I think I feel the same.

Is something wrong?

No.

Everything's fine.

I might go help Amber.

What are you doing?

It's me.

I'm going.

held my hand and it just went crazy you held hands and now i can't get it to

stop why i don't know

is this a recharge kind of thing no i

recharged this morning it must be your emotion luca is triggering something in

you this is the crush help me turn it off it doesn't work that way

What am I going to say to Luca?

You can't risk going back to the table now.

Just go. Leave through the back door.

I can't just run off on him.

Leave Luca to me. Go.

What's going on? Where's Kiki going?

She had to go home.

Home? Why?

Well, she got sick.

One of those new flu strains.

What did you say to her?

Nothing.

First you rock up with her, then she runs off on me. What's going on?

Look, I... You're against me getting to know Kiki, so... You've sabotaged it.

Thanks. A lot.

So this thing is... the cane field. What is it?

I'm not sure, but it affected me somehow.

Whatever it is, it's important.

We need to find out more.

Kiki, are you listening to me?

Yeah.

Sorry.

This could affect both of us. I need you to focus.

I've got it.

Hey Luca.

Hi.

I'm here to see Kiki.

You got a minute to talk?

You know, I really enjoyed spending time with you.

Me too.

And I meant what I said.

I really like you.

Me too.

You know, maybe we can go horse riding again sometime.

When you're feeling better, of course.

Luca, I don't think so.

You're a really nice guy, but... But?

I'm only visiting here.

I'll be gone soon and... It might be easier on... On both of us.

If... We were just friends.

Friends?

Yeah, like you and Amber

Luca

It's okay, I understand

I'll figure out

I told him I wouldn't go out with him again.

So, it's all over.

It's probably for the best.

You know what I feel like?

Pancakes. Lots and lots of pancakes.

You got it. I'll start cooking.

No!

Let me.

It might be safer.

Who wants maple syrup? Ice cream.

I want everything.

That's what I like to hear.
