Tivoli Gardens gløder i efterårets farver.

Tivoli Gardens glows in the colors of autumn.

Luften er kølig, men fyldt med duften af kandiserede æbler og ristede kastanjer.

The air is cool but filled with the scent of candied apples and roasted chestnuts.

Freja går ved siden af Mikkel, hendes bedste ven.

Freja walks next to Mikkel, her best friend.

De har glædet sig til denne aften.

They have been looking forward to this evening.

Tivoli er et magisk sted, især under efterårsfestivalen.

Tivoli is a magical place, especially during the autumn festival.

Overalt er der lysende græskar og farverige lygter.

Everywhere there are glowing pumpkins and colorful lanterns.

Freja ser på Mikkel.

Freja looks at Mikkel.

Han har et stort smil på læben.

He has a big smile on his face.

"Hvor skal vi hen nu?"

"Where should we go now?"

spørger han spændt.

he asks excitedly.

Freja griner.

Freja laughs.

"Lad os prøve rutsjebanen," siger hun.

"Let's try the roller coaster," she says.

Hjertet banker i takt med karusellerne omkring dem.

Her heart beats in time with the carousels around them.

Mikkel elsker fart og spænding, men Freja har noget vigtigt, hun vil sige.

Mikkel loves speed and excitement, but Freja has something important she wants to say.

Noget mere skræmmende end nogen rutsjebane.

Something scarier than any roller coaster.

De står i kø.

They stand in line.

Mikkel fortæller en sjov historie fra skolen, mens Frejas tanker flakker.

Mikkel tells a funny story from school, while Freja's thoughts wander.

Hun vil fortælle ham, hvordan hun har det, men frygten for hans reaktion holder hende tilbage.

She wants to tell him how she feels, but the fear of his reaction holds her back.

Hun husker sin plan: en dag fyldt med små, mindeværdige øjeblikke.

She remembers her plan: a day filled with small, memorable moments.

Måske vil det gøre det lettere at afsløre sine følelser.

Maybe this will make it easier to reveal her feelings.

Rutsjebanen suser afsted, og de skriger af fryd.

The roller coaster rushes off, and they scream with delight.

Freja ler sammen med Mikkel, men hendes sind er stadig fokuseret.

Freja laughs along with Mikkel, but her mind is still focused.

Da turen slutter, trækker Freja ham med til foderstanden.

When the ride ends, Freja pulls him to the food stand.

Hun køber lune æbleskiver og varm kakao.

She buys warm apple slices and hot cocoa.

De sætter sig på en bænk nær de oplyste springvand.

They sit on a bench near the illuminated fountains.

Vandet glimter, som stjernerne på himlen.

The water glitters like the stars in the sky.

Dette er øjeblikket, tænker Freja.

This is the moment, Freja thinks.

Hun kan mærke nervøsiteten vokse.

She can feel the nervousness growing.

"Mikkel," siger hun og trækker vejret dybt.

"Mikkel," she says, taking a deep breath.

"Der er noget, jeg har brug for at snakke om."

"There's something I need to talk about."

Mikkel vender sig mod hende, hans øjne fulde af nysgerrighed.

Mikkel turns to her, his eyes full of curiosity.

"Hvad er det?"

"What is it?"

Ordene er svære at finde, men Freja fortsætter.

The words are hard to find, but Freja continues.

"Vi har været venner længe.

"We've been friends for a long time.

Du betyder meget for mig.

You mean a lot to me.

Mere end bare som en ven."

More than just as a friend."

Hendes stemme dirrer lidt.

Her voice trembles a bit.

Mikkel ser overrasket ud, men på en god måde.

Mikkel looks surprised, but in a good way.

"Freja," begynder han, "jeg har følt det samme."

"Freja," he begins, "I've felt the same."

De sidder der, smilende og lettede.

They sit there, smiling and relieved.

Tvivlen er væk, og fremtiden ser lys ud som Tivolis lys omkring dem.

The doubt is gone, and the future looks as bright as Tivoli's lights around them.

Mikkel tager hendes hånd, og de ser på de dansende vandstråler.

Mikkel takes her hand, and they watch the dancing water jets.

Freja er pludselig fyldt med mod.

Freja is suddenly filled with courage.

De har en ny rejse foran sig, en rejse de begge ser frem til.

They have a new journey ahead, one they both look forward to.

Sådan slutter en hel speciel aften i Tivoli.

This is how a very special evening ends in Tivoli.

Freja har vundet noget mere end et venskab.

Freja has won something more than a friendship.

Hun har også lært værdien af mod og åbenhed.

She has also learned the value of courage and openness.

Hendes verden føles nu større og mere levende end nogensinde før.

Her world now feels larger and more vibrant than ever before.
