     After a long walk, finally we reached the summit.

    "Guys! We're here" said Brix

    We looked around, and saw the entire American Region.

    We can also see the clouds around.

    "I think I'm in heaven" said Nathan

    It's so cold here. I don't think if I can take this for a long time.

    But the good thing is, all your efforts and suffers will be just gone when you made it here. It's like when you work for your dream harder, you will receive a best reward, and that's your achievements and accomplishments to your dream.

   "Why don't you stand your tent up?" asked Nathan

   "I will" said Brix

   "Are we gonna share in one tent again, Brix?" I asked

    "Sure, why not?" said Brix

    "Thank you very much" I said.

     We all fix our things. Good thing we brought a lot of foods and drinks. Climbing on a mountain is quite stressing, so I have to eat and drink to regain strength.

     Brix continued taking pictures. As of now, we are all wearing sweaters.

    I entered the tent, and left the its zipper open so I can see what's inside.

   "Guys! Look!" said Andrei

    "What?" I exited the tent.

    "What's that Andrei?" asked Nathan

    "Look over there" Andrei pointed the beautiful sunset

    "Woah!" Brix took a picture of it.

    "I think the word beautiful isn't enough to describe it" said Nathan

    We can see the sun hiding itself in the horizon.

    "Oops! Better to make a bonfire" said Nathan

    Nathan began collecting pieces of woods that fell from the trees. He then burn it using a lighter.

    "Thanks Nathan, I feel better now" I said as I sit beside the bonfire.

    My mobile watch suddenly rings.

    "Guys! Marco's calling" I said

    Nathan, Andrei and Brix came to me.

    I answered the call and Marco's holographic image showed up.

    "Hey Marco! How are you?" asked Nathan

    "Hey Marco!" I said

    "Hey humans! I'm still here at Justin's house. I think he is going to tell me when and where he will do his plan" said Marco

    "Really? Keep it up Marco" said Andrei

    "So, how's there?" asked Marco

    "It's fun. Your eyes will be full by the sceneries you can see. You can also see the entire American Region" I said

    "Did Brix take a picture of it?" asked Marco

    "Of course! I'll make it my travel magazine cover" said Brix

    "Will you send me a copy of the picture?" asked Marco

    "Sure! Why not?" said Brix

    "Thank you!" said Marco

    "You're welcome!" said Brix

     After that, Marco and I talked about our past. We really missed each other a lot. He then said good bye to me to continue his mission.

     He really is a missioning android. That's why he is named as MA 002, the missioning android of the Philippine Region.

    "The beauty of American region night sky. Why I still want to look on it even if I already see it a hundred times?" asked Nathan

    "That's the feeling of in love" I said

    "What!?" asked he

    "Feeling of in love" I repeated

    "How does it happen?" said he

    "You still wanna see it even if you see the sky a hundred times. Seems like you are in love with the American region" I said

    "I don't understand" said Nathan

    "That's the feeling of being in love. Actually, that's only a sign that you are in love" I said

    "Love?" said Nathan

   "Don't worry. You're not in love with a human, you're just in love with a scenery" I said

   "Okay" said he

   "Guys! We will be home by tomorrow" said Brix

   "We're just going to stay here for a while?" said Nathan

   "Better not to fall in love with the place, so it's not so hate to leave it" I said

   "Why do you keep talking about love?" asked Nathan

   "You guys are insane" said Andrei

   "Why do you say that?" asked Nathan

   "Love, huh?" said Andrei

   "What's wrong with love?" I asked

   "Nothing" said Andrei

   As usual, Brix is taking some pictures of the beautiful horizon.

    That night, we stared at the beautiful night sky. There are more stars we saw here at the top of the mountain than those in plains.

    Plus, the stars are brighter here.

    After eating our dinner, we all started to take some rest
