(Barbie return to her appartment)
Barbie : So here it is...back home… dawm it feels really empty without skipper...It IS empty…Let’s get positive.. I will have an whole room dedicated to yoga...or another closet...or a makeup room...pottery ?.. Well I have the whole life to find out…
(Her cellphone bip)
Blaine : Join me at the 3643 78th street. On the roof.
Barbie : It must be a joke..

(Raquelle & Sharpay)
Sharpay : Seriously ! This party is boring And I want to go home !! Ryann !! Ryann ! I want to go home ! Ryan !?
Raquelle : (Rolling the eyes) Run girl.. Run… Well it’s been about twenty minute...even the longuest pee cannot stand more than 2… So... They are A) hiding the body because Teresa & Nikkie Kill Ryan ...OR B ) In the werdest make out position… on the bathroom carpet
(Summer & Blaine)
Summer : Seriously, after all we have been trought… wow. I give up the first and buy the peace because I really though these two would worth it… dawm.
Blaine : Maybe they just don’t love each other anymore.
Summer : I don’t know… he’s such a player...I was like : Ohh okay… I was’nt the good one but maybe Teresa is the one who will calm him down…
Blaine : Men are men you know… and you need to be with someone to cheat.. And in this case it’s not cheating. They break up like.. 2 months ago.
Summer : And Nobody told me.. Raquelle knew and she did’nt told me.. But I’m not angry against her.. She’s like a cat… Selfish, cocky, lazy… but she don’t want to hurt anybody…. usually
Blaine : Well… she really want to beat up Sharpay.
Summer : OMG ! What a bimbo !
Blaine : I though she was overreacting but…
Summer : Definitaly !... (Immitating Sahrpay) You know ! I’m gonna be slash celeb slash smile slash…. Dawm it’s painful to watch.
這天早上這個區域幾乎都是自己認識的朋友，真是拍的還挺開心的，尤其聽說神桌那邊這個早上會蹲三位福利課高手[白爸][兔兔]與[小蔡]，特別提早來這裡插花打屁吃消夜早點，真開心 :D

(Teresa, Ryan, Barbie & Ryder)
Barbie : OMG sorry I’m so late that I miss the happy hour.
Ryder : That’s not a problem I frink for two and that girl dance on a table… the waitress has to stop her.
Barbie : ! What ! I miss everything then ! I never take the subway again !... I wanted to feel normal for once and I’m late ! Nothing can beat the Babs mobile
Ryder : The what !
Teresa : This is how Barbie name her car… Babsmobile
Barbie : The fastest of the whole toybox !
Ryan : So here we are.
Ryder : Yes we are.
Barbie : The last prelauch meeting. I’m so excited !
Ryan : I can’t believe the album is complete.. The stage is setup… wow All I have to do now is to practice my autograph !
Ryder : Chill man.. Relax
Barbie : I can’t believe it ! Reflaction is gonna be my best album to date ! My first very own album in fact !
Ryan : We should drink to that !
Ryder : Thanks for inviting us !
Barbie : You invite us ! That’s so sweet !
Teresa : Ohh baby you are so gentle !
Ryan :… dawm… ok it’s my turn...noly one drink each right !?

An aurora sometimes referred to as polar lights, northern lights (aurora borealis) or southern lights (aurora australis), is a natural light display in the Earth's sky, predominantly seen in the high-latitude regions (around the Arctic and Antarctic).
Auroras are produced when the magnetosphere is sufficiently disturbed by the solar wind that the trajectories of charged particles in both solar wind and magnetospheric plasma, mainly in the form of electrons and protons, precipitate them into the upper atmosphere (thermosphere/exosphere) due to Earth's magnetic field, where their energy is lost.
The resulting ionization and excitation of atmospheric constituents emits light of varying color and complexity. The form of the aurora, occurring within bands around both polar regions, is also dependent on the amount of acceleration imparted to the precipitating particles. Precipitating protons generally produce optical emissions as incident hydrogen atoms after gaining electrons from the atmosphere. Proton auroras are usually observed at lower latitudes.
Etymology
Aurora came from the Latin word for "dawn, morning light", since auroras were formerly thought to be the first light of dawn.
Occurrence of terrestrial auroras
Most auroras occur in a band known as the "auroral zone",[which is typically 3° to 6° wide in latitude and between 10° and 20° from the geomagnetic poles at all local times (or longitudes), most clearly seen at night against a dark sky. A region that currently displays an aurora is called the "auroral oval", a band displaced towards the night side of the Earth. Early evidence for a geomagnetic connection comes from the statistics of auroral observations. Elias Loomis (1860), and later Hermann Fritz (1881) and S. Tromholt (1882) in more detail, established that the aurora appeared mainly in the auroral zone. Day-to-day positions of the auroral ovals are posted on the internet.
In northern latitudes, the effect is known as the aurora borealis or the northern lights. The former term was coined by Galileo in 1619, from the Roman goddess of the dawn and the Greek name for the north wind. The southern counterpart, the aurora australis or the southern lights, has features almost identical to the aurora borealis and changes simultaneously with changes in the northern auroral zone. The Aurora Australis is visible from high southern latitudes in Antarctica, Chile, Argentina, New Zealand, and Australia.
A geomagnetic storm causes the auroral ovals (north and south) to expand, and bring the aurora to lower latitudes. It was hardly ever seen near the geographic pole, which is about 2000 km away from the magnetic pole. The instantaneous distribution of auroras ("auroral oval") is slightly different, being centered about 3–5° nightward of the magnetic pole, so that auroral arcs reach furthest toward the equator when the magnetic pole in question is in between the observer and the Sun. The aurora can be seen best at this time, which is called magnetic midnight.
Auroras seen within the auroral oval may be directly overhead, but from farther away, they illuminate the poleward horizon as a greenish glow, or sometimes a faint red, as if the Sun were rising from an unusual direction. Auroras also occur poleward of the auroral zone as either diffuse patches or arcs, which can be subvisual.
Auroras are occasionally seen in latitudes below the auroral zone, when a geomagnetic storm temporarily enlarges the auroral oval. Large geomagnetic storms are most common during the peak of the 11-year sunspot cycle or during the three years after the peak. An aurora may appear overhead as a "corona" of rays, radiating from a distant and apparent central location, which results from perspective. An electron spirals (gyrates) about a field line at an angle that is determined by its velocity vectors, parallel and perpendicular, respectively, to the local geomagnetic field vector B. This angle is known as the "pitch angle" of the particle. The distance, or radius, of the electron from the field line at any time is known as its Larmor radius. The pitch angle increases as the electron travels to a region of greater field strength nearer to the atmosphere. Thus, it is possible for some particles to return, or mirror, if the angle becomes 90° before entering the atmosphere to collide with the denser molecules there. Other particles that do not mirror enter the atmosphere and contribute to the auroral display over a range of altitudes. Other types of auroras have been observed from space, e.g."poleward arcs" stretching sunward across the polar cap, the related "theta aurora", and "dayside arcs" near noon. These are relatively infrequent and poorly understood. Other interesting effects occur such as flickering aurora, "black aurora" and subvisual red arcs. In addition to all these, a weak glow (often deep red) observed around the two polar cusps, the field lines separating the ones that close through the Earth from those that are swept into the tail and close remotely.
Visual forms and colors
Auroras frequently appear either as a diffuse glow or as "curtains" that extend approximately in the east–west direction. At some times, they form "quiet arcs"; at others, they evolve and change constantly. These are called "active aurora".
The most distinctive and brightest are the curtain-like auroral arcs. Each curtain consists of many parallel rays, each lined up with the local direction of the magnetic field, consistent with auroras being shaped by Earth's magnetic field. In situ particle measurements confirm that auroral electrons are guided by the geomagnetic field, and spiral around them while moving toward Earth. The similarity of an auroral display to curtains is often enhanced by folds within the arcs. Arcs can fragment or break up into separate, at times rapidly changing, often rayed features that may fill the whole sky. These are the discrete auroras, which are at times bright enough to read a newspaper by at night. and can display rapid subsecond variations in intensity. The diffuse aurora, though, is a relatively featureless glow sometimes close to the limit of visibility. It can be distinguished from moonlit clouds because stars can be seen undiminished through the glow. Diffuse auroras are often composed of patches whose brightness exhibits regular or near-regular pulsations. The pulsation period can be typically many seconds, so is not always obvious. Often there black aurora i.e. narrow regions in diffuse aurora with reduced luminosity. A typical auroral display consists of these forms appearing in the above order throughout the night.
Red: At the highest altitudes, excited atomic oxygen emits at 630 nm (red); low concentration of atoms and lower sensitivity of eyes at this wavelength make this color visible only under more intense solar activity. The low number of oxygen atoms and their gradually diminishing concentration is responsible for the faint appearance of the top parts of the "curtains". Scarlet, crimson, and carmine are the most often-seen hues of red for the auroras.
Green: At lower altitudes, the more frequent collisions suppress the 630-nm (red) mode: rather the 557.7 nm emission (green) dominates. Fairly high concentration of atomic oxygen and higher eye sensitivity in green make green auroras the most common. The excited molecular nitrogen (atomic nitrogen being rare due to high stability of the N2 molecule) plays a role here, as it can transfer energy by collision to an oxygen atom, which then radiates it away at the green wavelength. (Red and green can also mix together to produce pink or yellow hues.) The rapid decrease of concentration of atomic oxygen below about 100 km is responsible for the abrupt-looking end of the lower edges of the curtains. Both the 557.7 and 630.0 nm wavelengths correspond to forbidden transitions of atomic oxygen, slow mechanism that is responsible for the graduality (0.7 s and 107 s respectively) of flaring and fading.
Blue: At yet lower altitudes, atomic oxygen is uncommon, and molecular nitrogen and ionized molecular nitrogen take over in producing visible light emission, radiating at a large number of wavelengths in both red and blue parts of the spectrum, with 428 nm (blue) being dominant. Blue and purple emissions, typically at the lower edges of the "curtains", show up at the highest levels of solar activity. The molecular nitrogen transitions are much faster than the atomic oxygen ones.
Ultraviolet: Ultraviolet radiation from auroras (within the optical window but not visible to virtually all humans) has been observed with the requisite equipment. Ultraviolet auroras have also been seen on Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.
Infrared: Infrared radiation, in wavelengths that are within the optical window, is also part of many auroras.
Yellow and pink are a mix of red and green or blue. Other shades of red, as well as orange, may be seen on rare occasions; yellow-green is moderately common. As red, green, and blue are the primary colours of additive synthesis of colours, in theory, practically any colour might be possible, but the ones mentioned in this article comprise a virtually exhaustive list.
(Nikkie, Barbie & Nick)
Nick : Nikkie, I never though I would be excited by art, but your work is really nice and inspiring.
Nikkie : Thank You !!! Don’t you see that Rabatha Simons watched my glory flower earlier ! Rabatha Simons !!!
Barbie : She must be really kind…. I guess
Nikkie : No she’s a total bitch… she drop her glass on me, spit on my shoes and slap a doorman..
Nick : Dawm…
Nikkie : But she has contact ! And at least she doesnt burn my painting…
Barbie : Yeah… She really must like you (She look at Nick with a warning look in her eyes)
Nick :… Yeah.. You are for sure the next Batara Stinson…
Nikkie : It’s Rabatha Simons .. But thanks !
