Previously on Lightning Point... Help.

It asked you for help.

We're on the verge of something mind-blowing here and you're running off

on a date.

We're in a massive alien symbol that just appeared in this cane field the

last time you tried to meddle with it.

Why? Why would I be nervous?

I saw one.

An alien. A cane field.

Are you kidding?

illustrated here, dark stars are regions of space that not even light can escape

from. Their extremely compact mass causes a deformation in space-time.

Their gravity becomes so dense, it collapses in on itself, creating a black

hole. Wrong.

Sorry Zoe, what was that?

I said it's strong, that gravitational force.

Yes it is. Not even light can escape it. Hence the name, black hole.

It's amazing.

I agree.

I think it's one of the most amazing forces in the cosmos.

Me too.

Now, there are many theories involving the forces of Black Hole.

We will pick up where we left off in the next lesson. What's amazing is that he

believes this stuff. Luca, can I see you for a moment? Well, I've finally

realised there's no point arguing it with him.

Why complicate things?

We'll be out of here soon.

But trust me, I've been through a black hole and it's not that dark in there.

Luke off.

Hey.

I thought we might hit the diner on the way home.

Have a talk?

I'd really like to catch up with you, but I...

Seriously need to get home and do some work. On what?

The project.

I mean a big, big project.

Unless you really need to talk now.

No.

It's okay, we'll catch up another time.

What are you doing?

Checking how this stuff works.

I want to start catching aliens, not waste time waiting for you to show up. I

was like five minutes behind you.

You think they're going to wait until you've got your act together? My act is

together. If you say so.

So what's the plan?

I want to know how we're going to catch these dudes. I doubt we can actually

catch them.

But I think there's a way we can at least get to see them.

What are they?

Electromagnetic radiation detectors.

Radiation? Cool.

You going to blast them with it?

No. These read changes in energy level.

I think that bright light you saw was some sort of intense plasma energy.

If they give off that energy signature, then these will pick it up.

Watch this.

Awesome. Sorry.

If these little gadgets let us know when the aliens are out there, we can be

there too.

That's the plan.

So when are they going to be ready?

In a day.

You're wasting more time.

I'm hungry.

Yeah, okay. You keep working. I'll get us some takeaway.

Really?

Really. But when I get back, we're going to get serious about nailing these

dudes.

Does that feel better?

Not really.

I keep trying to think of ways to tell him.

How about, hey, Luca, we can't be together anymore.

See ya.

She means well that won't break his heart.

Can't help.

Come on.

It's the right thing to do. It's not that easy.

I did say not to develop feelings for him in the first place.

He's a great guy.

She couldn't help having a crush on him.

You can't help how you feel about someone.

You like Luca.

You couldn't just ignore that.

But I should have.

Zoe's right.

If I had, I wouldn't have to hurt him like this.

And you could have hurt him even more if you'd ignored him.

Don't beat yourself up too much.

Trust me, he'll get over it.

You think?

Definitely.

Oh.

I mean, good.

I'm talking eventually, in time.

Table.

So, after night surfing.

I never see you out there during the day.

I've been busy.

Too busy to surf?

There's more important things.

Than surfing?

Could be.

So what happens being world champ?

Given up?

Nope.

Something more important's come up.

Like what?

Who knows.

So you're talking more important than being world surfing champion.

Here you are.

The big universe out there.

What's that threatening?

Right,

I've got to start my shift now.

I should be home normal time, but if I'm not, close these windows before the

storm hits.

Storm? Yep. More crazy weather headed our way this afternoon.

You guys take care.

Bye. See you later.

She means an electrical storm.

Yeah, you guys need to be careful.

It certainly looks like Lightning Point will live up to its name this afternoon.

Moving down the south coast, severe electrical storms are expected to hit

the area in the next couple of hours.

Major lightning strikes are predicted.

Forecasters warn the storm could be just as severe as the one that blacked out

the area earlier this year.

Another great night in paradise.

We've got to get out to the cane field.

He just said there's going to be lightning. Which is why we have to get

out there.

The lightning will give us the power we need to boost a signal back to Lumina.

This is our opportunity.

You know what happened last time there was lightning.

I don't want to go chasing the storm trying to get you guys back. The

difference is this time we won't be recharging. It's exactly what we need.

And with the storm there'll be no one out there. We can send a signal without

anyone seeing us.

This is our chance.

Looks like some serious storm.

It is.

Good day to be inside.

But no, it isn't.

Do you remember when I found that crop circle in the bush?

Right after that last big storm, the one the freak banded out. I think whatever

is visiting us is attracted by the lightning.

You think the aliens and the lightning storm are connected?

I don't know why yet.

But they were definitely here during that last storm. And this one has some

serious lightning in it. So if they have got a thing for it... Then they'll be

back. So what are we waiting for?

Let's do it.

They say the signal gets out.

How long do you think it'll take before they pick you up?

As soon as our message reaches them, they'll send a ship to get us.

Maybe a few hours.

As fast as that?

Provided this lightning shows up.

And you really think it'll be safe?

We could be home by tonight.

It's gonna be pretty weird being here without you guys.

I guess there'll be plenty of time to say goodbye while you're waiting for

your ride.

Yeah, well we have to get ready. The storm will be here soon.

I have to go out.

Where?

I won't be long.

They're all in position.

Perfect. Any change in energy level here and we'll know.

You sure this is where they'll come?

Thank you for a reason. And we saw them last time.

Why don't we just stick around?

Take the place out.

Because I've got a feeling they don't want to be seen.

And if they realise we're here, they won't even show.

Yeah, I've been thinking about that.

Why don't they want to be seen?

What are they doing here?

What if they're the advanced scouts and it's like an invasion?

Hey, just put it out there.

Maybe we should set our video camera up and check them out first.

We don't want our skulls drilled by little plasma dudes. You watch way too

many bad movies.

We don't want to just video them. We want to communicate with them.

They've already put a huge sign here. This is first contact.

This is history.

No need to freak.

No freaking.

So, when are we going to get a look at these aliens?

All we need is the storm.

Kiki, what are you doing here?

Just wanting to have our chat.

Now's not a good time. No, it's okay.

So, what's happening?

There's kind of something I need to tell you.

Sure.

Maybe we could go into your room?

That's not such a good idea. It's seriously messy.

So, what do you need to tell me?

You know how I was only visiting lighting points?

Well, I might be leaving soon.

Going home.

How soon?

Pretty soon.

Why so sudden?

It's a good time to travel at the moment.

So, I just wanted to say goodbye.

Look. Do we have to do this now?

It's not like you're leaving straight away, are you?

Not straight away.

Well, let's catch up tomorrow.

We'll do breakfast and we'll work it all out.

Yeah.

Okay.

I'll call you.

I'll see you in the morning.

You better get going, there's a storm coming in. Yeah.

You're not going out in it, are you? No, I'm working on something here.

I'll catch up with you later.

You okay?

At least you tried to sort things out with him.

That's right.

You didn't say anything about what we're doing, did you? Of course I didn't.

I hardly even got to say goodbye.

You did the right thing.

That's our window opening.

I know.

Hi, Piper.

I'm going to miss you.

I'm actually going to miss her too.

Really?

She's kind of cute.

Once you get past the barking and personal hygiene issues.

I think she knows we're leaving.

Just a storm.

Come on.

How long do we have to wait?

Be patient. If anything happens, we'll be the first to know.

It'll be okay, Amber.

Yeah, sure.

I guess this is it.

Yes.

It is.

I just want you to know it's been great having you guys here.

It's been great being here.

Thank you so much.

For everything.

We owe you so much.

You can pay me back if I ever crash my spaceship on the run.

It could be hours before we actually leave.

It was just in case.

You know, if there's a high-speed connection or something.

Well, if there is.

Thank you.

From me too.

What's your mum going to think when we just disappear? Same as she thought when

we just showed up.

That we're weird.

It's okay.

I've thought it out.

Thank you for us.

Good luck.

Can you stop?

How much longer is it gonna be?

I don't know.

Not long.

The throne's building.

You ready?

Wait there.

Why?

Just in case something goes wrong.

How wrong?

Kate, don't tell me.

Maybe they're not into lightning after all.

Did it work?

I think so.

Amber!

Did you hear me? I was trying to warn you. I found these.

Come on.

Okay, just wind it. You sure? Go.

Go!

to go back.

It's too dangerous. We can't let them find it. Kiki!

What happened?

Were they here?

What did you see?

Come on, what did you see?

Nothing.

Nothing?

Too late.

We saw the light, they were right here. It may be, but we missed them.

I couldn't believe it.

Exactly what did he see?

Me.

He saw everything.

I panicked.

I should have known it was Luca.

What are we going to do?

Maybe I could talk to him.

Explain it all away somehow.

Explain away?

I'll tell you what we're going to do.

Nothing.

I'm certain that the signal was sent.

So it's just a matter of waiting till they come and rescue us.

All we have to do is stay out of sight until then.

You think?

The signal worked.

They're going to be here.

They better be.

Because Luca knows there's aliens here now.

And he knows I'm one of them.

And he won't be the only one.

Soon everyone will.
