A camping trip was a fun idea. The school decided on that, so the students went on a camping trip. While they admitted they did have fun, they had to sleep to get enough energy to head home the next day. But as everyone was asleep, Alan & Carmen were awake with a lantern to give light.
"It's beautiful outside tonight." Alan quietly commented. The sky was filled with stars that sparkled beautifully.
"I know, it's a pretty sight." Carmen agreed. They decided to have a conversation for the night, as lately stuff has been distracting the two from talking with each other.
"So Carmen, do you have any plans for the future? Like what you want to be, or something you wish to do." Alan asked his girlfriend. Carmen fell deep into thought. Soon she came up with answer.
She turned to the balloon. "Not really. I really just plan for the stuff I need at the time. You can't be crazy prepared, what if something goes horribly wrong, and your ideas topple?" Carmen answered.
Alan fell silent, then turned with a smile. "Well, if that's what you believe in, it's okay with me." Carmen smiled. Alan accepts someone's opinion, no matter bizarre. "Thanks, Alan."
Silence filled the night, then Carmen asked, "What do you have in mind for the future?"
"I want to help those who have trouble or problems themselves." Alan answered. "Not everyone can do stuff by themselves, they may need help or guidance."
Carmen smiled. "Hey, Alan?"
"Yes, Carmen?"
"Promise we'll always be with each other for life."
"Of course."
They stayed up for about 30 minutes, until they really began to feel sleepy. The two went back to their tents, as Carmen blew a kiss to Alan, which he caught. Then, they went to bed, as the lantern was turned off, erasing the Light as they went to sleep.
