Visiting Wright Foundation student Romy arrives to study an atmospheric phenomenon called The Southern Lights. Mike decides its time to try for the first kiss with Nikki. The kids observe sun spot activity and estimations made as to how many days before The Southern Lights will appear. A bet is made with Frank Giles who doesn't think they'll see the lights at all. On the third night of sky watching for The Southern Lights, they finally appear… just as Mike and Nikki are leaning in for the their first kiss. Giles is forced to pay up on the bet he made.
