One other thought, and it's probably too late, but the second translation in this thread is done with futur simple, not futur proche... the futur proche is formed by conjugating the verb aller, and adding the infinitive of the verb after.

e.g. I will eat an apple. = Je vais manger une pomme.

It's a simpler (read: less complicated) way to speak of something in the future that is likely to happen, even though it's used less frequently in French (to my knowledge).
