Story Transcript:

No: Vinteren hadde lagt sitt snøteppe over Oslo, og det glitret som et eventyr.
En: Winter had laid its blanket of snow over Oslo, and it sparkled like a fairy tale.

No: På Operahuset i Oslo samlet folk seg for nyttårsgallaen.
En: At the Opera House in Oslo, people gathered for the New Year's gala.

No: Lysene blinket over inngangspartiet, og det var en nesten magisk følelse i luften.
En: Lights blinked over the entrance, and there was an almost magical feeling in the air.

No: Signe, en ung kvinne med drømmer om å stå på scenen, hadde ventet lenge på denne kvelden.
En: Signe, a young woman with dreams of being on stage, had waited a long time for this evening.

No: Hun rettet kjolen sin og kikket rundt seg i det vakre bygget.
En: She adjusted her dress and looked around in the beautiful building.

No: Signe var nervøs.
En: Signe was nervous.

No: Ikke på grunn av kjølig vær eller fancy folk, men på grunn av han.
En: Not because of the chilly weather or the fancy people, but because of him.

No: Direktøren for Operahuset, som hun hadde hørt så mye om.
En: The director of the Opera House, whom she had heard so much about.

No: Dette var sjansen hennes til å gjøre inntrykk.
En: This was her chance to make an impression.

No: Så mange mennesker pratet og lo, men hun klarte bare å tenke på én ting: hvordan nærme seg direktøren?
En: So many people talked and laughed, but she could only focus on one thing: how to approach the director?

No: Ved siden av henne sto Lars, den trofaste barndomsvennen med det sjarmerende smilet.
En: Next to her stood Lars, the faithful childhood friend with the charming smile.

No: "Ser du han der borte?" sa han og pekte diskret.
En: "Do you see him over there?" he said, pointing discretely.

No: "Du klarer det. Du er fantastisk!"
En: "You can do it. You're amazing!"

No: Signe prøvde å smile tilbake.
En: Signe tried to smile back.

No: "Takk, Lars. Du har alltid trodd på meg."
En: "Thanks, Lars. You've always believed in me."

No: Men Lars hadde også noe på hjertet.
En: But Lars also had something on his mind.

No: Han hadde lenge ønsket å fortelle Signe at han drømte om å reise verden rundt.
En: He had long wanted to tell Signe that he dreamed of traveling the world.

No: Og, mer komplisert, at han hadde følelser for henne.
En: And, more complicated, that he had feelings for her.

No: Han visste at begge deler kunne endre vennskapet deres for alltid.
En: He knew that both could change their friendship forever.

No: Kvelden gikk, med musikk og dans.
En: The evening went on, with music and dancing.

No: Tiden nærmet seg midnatt, og Signe visste at dette var muligheten.
En: The time was nearing midnight, and Signe knew this was her opportunity.

No: Hun måtte snakke med direktøren.
En: She had to talk to the director.

No: Men akkurat da klokken nærmet seg tolv, tok Lars henne i armen.
En: But just as the clock neared twelve, Lars took her by the arm.

No: "Signe, jeg må snakke med deg."
En: "Signe, I need to talk to you."

No: Hjertet banket fortere.
En: Her heart beat faster.

No: "Lars, jeg må virkelig..."
En: "Lars, I really need to..."

No: "Vent litt. Det er viktig," sa Lars, men han visste også at hun måtte nå direktøren før han dro.
En: "Wait a minute. It's important," Lars said, but he also knew she needed to reach the director before he left.

No: "Jeg vet hvor mye dette betyr for deg. Og jeg vil alltid støtte deg, uansett hva," sa Lars raskt, før han snudde hodet mot direktøren som var i ferd med å forlate salen.
En: "I know how much this means to you. And I will always support you, no matter what," Lars said quickly, before turning his head toward the director who was about to leave the hall.

No: Signe så mellom Lars og direktøren.
En: Signe looked between Lars and the director.

No: Hun presset hånden hans.
En: She squeezed his hand.

No: "Vi snakker senere, ok? Dette er viktig."
En: "We'll talk later, okay? This is important."

No: Lars nikket, og hun løp etter direktøren.
En: Lars nodded, and she ran after the director.

No: Lars så etter henne, og forsto at det viktigste var Signek egentlige drøm.
En: Lars watched her go, understanding that Signe's real dream was the most important thing.

No: Hvis han kunne hjelpe henne på noen måte, var det verdt det.
En: If he could help her in any way, it was worth it.

No: Signe nådde direktøren akkurat i tide.
En: Signe reached the director just in time.

No: Hun introduserte seg selv med glød i stemmen.
En: She introduced herself with a glow in her voice.

No: De fikk et kort, men lovende, samtale.
En: They had a brief but promising conversation.

No: Hun følte seg sterkere, mer selvsikker.
En: She felt stronger, more confident.

No: Kanskje, bare kanskje, hadde hun en sjanse.
En: Maybe, just maybe, she had a chance.

No: Da klokken slo tolv, fyltes rommet av jubel og klemmer.
En: When the clock struck twelve, the room filled with cheers and hugs.

No: Signe og Lars møttes igjen, og hun gråt nesten av lettelse.
En: Signe and Lars met again, and she nearly cried with relief.

No: "Takk, Lars. For alt."
En: "Thank you, Lars. For everything."

No: "Vi er et team, husker du? Jeg er glad i deg, Signe.
En: "We're a team, remember? I care about you, Signe.

No: Og jeg vil at du skal følge drømmene dine," sa han, mens fyrverkeri begynte å lyse opp den mørke natten utenfor.
En: And I want you to follow your dreams," he said, as fireworks began to light up the dark night outside.

No: De så hverandre i øynene, mens fargene danset over fjorden bak dem.
En: They looked into each other's eyes as colors danced over the fjord behind them.

No: Vennskapet deres sto sterkt, og de begge visste at uansett hvor deres veier førte dem, så ville de støtte hverandre.
En: Their friendship stood strong, and they both knew that no matter where their paths led them, they would support each other.

No: Nytt år, en ny sjanse.

En: Signe and Lars had each other, and a whole world ahead of them.
