......Ah back again, theres nothing like a 60 mile drive on a dark, wet Novembers evening to stimulate the literary mind .. anyway to continue. When Rory and Alice locate Ireland they find the strange volcanic rock formations at The Giants Causeway intriguing and decide that deeper investigation is required. Rory, being the brave extra-terrestrial type (you know the ones) notices that some of the hexagonal formations are showing up as visual representations of hexidecimal code (colours to the uninitiated) and as any self respecting ET would, gets curious and points at one of these marvels and to his amazement he hears a sound emanating from the natural phenomenon. Shocked at this occurrence he seeks comfort in the arms of Alice, his companion through the cosmos and Alice, being the real braveheart of the duo reassures Rory that it wasnt the sound of the evil Lethargions launching a surprise attack but a sweet, new and never heard before sound. Boosted by Alices confidence he stretches out his finger again at another hexagon and it too emits a wonderful note. Rory does this again a few more times and gets a bit of a rhythm going.......Dum..de..da..dum..dum. Five notes in a very "Close Encounteresque" style. They both notice that as Rory becomes more proficient with the "C E" melody the lights in the sky start dancing and the faster he plays the more energetic the lights dancing becomes. They fall in love once again ( aliens have a very romantic side, soppy if you like). They decide to call the light show after themselves , the RoryAlice. After a while his concentration on this new toy was beginning to irritate Alice who decided herself to rename the dancing lights RoryBoresAlice and hence the Aurora Borealis was born.

After a short time Rory notices Alices boredom so he stops playing and they cuddle up in a warm embrace. Looking at the multi-coloured lightshow Rory tells his lover just how well the inhabitants of this beautiful planet take care of it but as the show progresses they notice the undeniable veil of pollution obliterating the wonderful sight. Disgusted with what she was seeing Alice, just before they they return to the skies to recommence their search for their own Eden , says to the dejected Rory that " Humans from the outside seem to take care of themselves but look at how they destroy their home". Then with a swipe of her hand they ascend to the heavens to continue their voyage.
