Is he looking 32 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 1: at his phone or reading too much in bed? No, 33 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 1: he is hearing strange noises that are waking him up 34 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 1: and getting his overactive imagination going. When Jake looks out 35 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 1: the window and sees his new neighbors doing strange things 36 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:33,360 Speaker 1: at two am, he wonders, could they be vampires? Are 37 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 1: Jake's new neighbors vampires. Jake had been having trouble sleeping lately, 38 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 1: which bothered him because it made him tired for early 39 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 1: morning swim practice. If his coach caught him yawning, he 40 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 1: would get in big trouble, and lately he had been 41 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 1: yawning a lot. It wasn't that he had bad dreams. 42 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: In fact, Jake did most of his dreaming while he 43 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 1: was awake. Of course, he wasn't allowed to look at 44 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 1: his phone after a certain hour. His parents were too strict. 45 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,280 Speaker 1: Why didn't they understand the value of looking at silly 46 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 1: videos in bed. It also wasn't because he read books 47 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 1: either or because he was making new lego creations under 48 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 1: his covers he wanted to go to sleep. Swimming made 49 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 1: him tired. No, it was because of the strange noises 50 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 1: he kept hearing. He never knew exactly what he was 51 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 1: hearing because the sounds were gone as soon as he 52 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:54,160 Speaker 1: woke up. Tonight it was the same. He woke suddenly 53 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:58,040 Speaker 1: in a sweat and tried to remember what noise he heard, 54 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 1: but couldn't. And why am I sweating? Jake looked at 55 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 1: his clock. It was two a m. Great, Just great, 56 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:15,039 Speaker 1: he whispered, to himself. He was scared that if he 57 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 1: spoke louder, he might wake himself up further. To cool off, 58 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:27,040 Speaker 1: Jake pulled down his covers and opened his window. Then 59 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:31,479 Speaker 1: he heard a sound again. It was like someone was whispering. 60 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 1: Then another sound like an animal was howling, but had 61 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 1: the voice of an owl. What are those strange sounds? 62 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 1: He thought, so weird. As he was about to lie 63 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 1: back down again, he noticed a light on across the 64 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,599 Speaker 1: street where mister McDonald used to live, the house the 65 00:05:55,680 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 1: new neighbors recently moved into. Their lights were on and 66 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 1: they were walking back and forth to their large black 67 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 1: suv with tinted windows. What were they doing up so late, 68 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: Jake whispered. Jake watched them for a few more minutes, 69 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 1: but he had a hard time keeping his eyes opened, 70 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:22,720 Speaker 1: so he laid back down and quickly went back to sleep. 71 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,159 Speaker 1: The next morning, Jake crawled on his hands and feet 72 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 1: to the kitchen table, half asleep. He got up and 73 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 1: sat in his chair with a PLoP. Luckily he didn't 74 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:42,839 Speaker 1: have early morning practice, because he would certainly yawn at 75 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:49,119 Speaker 1: least one hundred times overly dramatic, much, you stinky head, 76 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:53,919 Speaker 1: Jennifer is older, and she thought much wiser, sister said. 77 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 1: He grabbed a box of what looked like his favorite 78 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 1: cereal and filled his bowl with super brightly colored balls. 79 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,159 Speaker 1: He poured milk on it, took a mouthful and said, 80 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 1: what is this? This is some new high protein, no 81 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 1: sugar cereal that mom bought. His sister said, laughing, very delicious, 82 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 1: isn't it? Sugar? Cereal without sugar is just cereal, Jake said, unimpressed. 83 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 1: Eat up, Jake, you don't want to be late for school, 84 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 1: his mother said, as she poured herself a cup of 85 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 1: coffee and put some bread in the toaster. His father 86 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: came rushing into the kitchen, filled his travel cup with 87 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 1: coffee and kissed his mother. Do you guys need to 88 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 1: do that while I am eating? Jake complained, You're looking 89 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 1: tired these days, little guy. What's up? Too much swimming? 90 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 1: His father asked. It's not the swimming, Jake mumbled as 91 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 1: he tried to swallow another mouthful of cereal. Well share 92 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 1: with your mother. I have to get to work early today, 93 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 1: his father said as he raced out the door. I've 94 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 1: been hearing noises at night and it keeps waking me up. 95 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 1: Sounds like monsters or aliens, or a cross between an 96 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 1: owl and a hound. And last night I noticed it 97 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 1: was coming from the new neighbors across the street. They 98 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 1: were up at two am in the morning doing weird 99 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 1: things outside. Jake said, Oh boy, here we go again, 100 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 1: Jennifer complained with a great, big eye roll. Jennifer let 101 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 1: Jake talk. Her mother said, as she sat down to 102 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:51,840 Speaker 1: eat her toast. It's nothing. I'm sure they aren't aliens 103 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,960 Speaker 1: or secret agents or whatever. I mean. Surely there is 104 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 1: a plausible explanation for the sounds. And our neighbors dress 105 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 1: in black at two am while they are outside doing 106 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:09,080 Speaker 1: something or other. Jake said, Oh, Jake, you certainly have 107 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 1: an active imagination. His mom said, he just watches too 108 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:18,720 Speaker 1: many strange TV shows and those gross cartoons. Jennifer said, 109 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,960 Speaker 1: I do not. My teachers say I have the gift 110 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 1: of an incredibly imaginative mind, and I am going to 111 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:32,560 Speaker 1: be a great athlete someday too, Almost spitting out her milk. 112 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 1: Jennifer laughed, yeah right. From what I hear, you are 113 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 1: the reigning champion of daydream Olympics. Jennifer, stop being so 114 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:47,320 Speaker 1: rude to your brother. Both of you finish your breakfast 115 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 1: and get off to school. I need to get ready 116 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 1: for work. After a long day at school and the 117 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 1: hard work of finishing all his Brussels sprouts at dinner, 118 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 1: Jake was tired. Jake often said that Brussels sprouts were 119 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:09,320 Speaker 1: actually secret agents from the Land of Many Cabbages, sent 120 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 1: to cause him distress. Of course, Jake wasn't too tired 121 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 1: to put together a lego set he had been saving, 122 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,560 Speaker 1: but he was too tired to pick up the legos 123 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 1: before laying down and promptly falling fast asleep. Oh oh, oh, 124 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 1: was that, Jake whispered to himself as he was woken 125 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:38,559 Speaker 1: again in the middle of the night. He looked at 126 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:44,839 Speaker 1: his clock two a m. What is going on? He thought. 127 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 1: Jake's bed was beside his window, so he sat up 128 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:56,080 Speaker 1: and parted the curtains to look outside again. Across the street, 129 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 1: he saw the lights on at the neighbor's and Lucas's 130 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 1: parents walking around outside. This is very suspicious, he thought. 131 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:10,600 Speaker 1: The back of their suv was open, and Lucas's father 132 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 1: was again carrying stuff to put in the back, while 133 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 1: Lucas's mother just seemed to walk around in circles. Are 134 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:24,719 Speaker 1: they making deliveries to their alien vampire colleagues if they 135 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 1: transform into bats? I am going to scream out loud, 136 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 1: Jake whispered as he wiped his eyes with his hands. 137 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 1: He looked again as the suv pulled out of the 138 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:40,600 Speaker 1: driveway and the lights in the house turned out. This 139 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 1: is super suspicious, Jake mumbled as he closed his eyes 140 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:54,839 Speaker 1: and fell back asleep. The next morning, Jake plopped down 141 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 1: in his chair at the kitchen table and grabbed a 142 00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 1: box of brightly colored cereal to pour into his bowl. 143 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 1: Is this the good stuff or the bad stuff? He asked. 144 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,839 Speaker 1: It's the good bad stuff, Jennifer said, as she walked 145 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:16,680 Speaker 1: into the kitchen full of sugar. You'll love it, Jake. 146 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 1: His father yelled from the hallway. I just stepped on 147 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 1: your legos again, and your room is a mess. You 148 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 1: aren't going anywhere today until all this is cleaned up. 149 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 1: You're such a stinky head, Jennifer said quietly to Jake. Sorry, Dad, 150 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 1: I'll get it done pronto, Jake said. You're looking tired 151 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,560 Speaker 1: this morning, Jake. If you don't start getting some sleep, 152 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 1: you won't be able to go to swim practice. The 153 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 1: coach is already complaining that you are too tired. It's 154 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:54,080 Speaker 1: the neighbor's mom. They are always up at the same 155 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,960 Speaker 1: time every night, and they make strange noises and do 156 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:04,200 Speaker 1: strange things. You know, vampires often roam around at night. 157 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:09,680 Speaker 1: They could be aliens or vampires or super secret agents, 158 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:17,720 Speaker 1: but most likely vampires. Are you for real, Jennifer said, laughing, Oh, Jake, 159 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,560 Speaker 1: maybe your sister is right. We need to stop all 160 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:25,320 Speaker 1: the scary cartoons. For a while, I thought you and 161 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 1: Lucas were friends. We are. He is on the swim 162 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:31,760 Speaker 1: team and I have gone to his house to put 163 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:35,560 Speaker 1: together some legos, but I can't shake the feeling that 164 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 1: his parents are are vampire aliens from outer space. Jennifer said, laughing, Well, 165 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 1: how do you explain the strange sounds at nights, the 166 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 1: loading of their suv, and the fact that Lucas's mother 167 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 1: was just walking around in circles in their yard at 168 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 1: two am. I'm sure there is a good explanation. Not 169 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 1: everyone leads the same life's as we do. That doesn't 170 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:06,400 Speaker 1: mean they are vampires or aliens or whatever you are thinking, 171 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:12,440 Speaker 1: Jake's mother said. Later, Jake was looking out the bay 172 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,560 Speaker 1: window in their living room when he noticed someone leaving 173 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 1: Lucas's house dressed in interesting clothes. Hey, Jennifer, look at 174 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 1: the person leaving Lucas's house. Why would someone be leaving 175 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 1: at such an odd time? I feel like I am 176 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 1: experiencing deja vus. Aren't you supposed to clean your room 177 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:39,360 Speaker 1: before mom and dad get home. Don't worry, I am 178 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 1: the world's fastest bedroom cleaner. What am I looking at? 179 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 1: And why are you so nosy? Jennifer said as she 180 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 1: walked to the window. Don't you think the old lady's 181 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 1: clothes look particularly formal and warm for this time of year, Jake? 182 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 1: Not everyone is aware of or cares about the latest fashion, 183 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 1: and she's likely smarter than you. You would wear swimming 184 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 1: trunks outside in winter. Or maybe she is the head 185 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 1: of the secret vampire coven, Jake said, convinced that his 186 00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 1: imagination reflected reality. Oh, Jake, Jennifer said, rolling her eyes, 187 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 1: I have homework to do. I think you better finish 188 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,520 Speaker 1: cleaning up your room before mom and dad get home. 189 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 1: As Jake was cleaning up his room, he heard a 190 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 1: ping from his phone. It was a message from Lucas 191 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 1: asking if he wanted to come over to help put 192 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 1: together a new Lego set. He had bought one good 193 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 1: thing about Lucas. He loves Lego as much as I do, 194 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:53,000 Speaker 1: Jake said as he replied with a yes. After telling 195 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 1: his sister Jennifer that he had finished cleaning his room, 196 00:15:56,520 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 1: he headed over towards Lucas's house. Jake wasn't scared because 197 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,760 Speaker 1: he knew vampires didn't come out during the day, but 198 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 1: as he got to the front door, he hesitated, maybe 199 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 1: they are special vampires. Just as he was rethinking his visit, 200 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 1: the door opened. It was the lady he had seen earlier. Hello, there, 201 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 1: you must be Jake. I'm Lucas's grandmother. Please come in. 202 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 1: I think you know where Lucas's room is. Yes, thank you, 203 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 1: Jake said, with a bit of a nervous tremor in 204 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 1: his voice. The house is awfully dark, Jake thought, as 205 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 1: he walked to Lucas's bedroom. Hi, Jake, Lucas said as 206 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,880 Speaker 1: Jake walked into his room. I got this cool set 207 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 1: with the money I earned from helping at the pool. 208 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 1: Looks great, Jake replied as he sat down on the floor. 209 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:59,400 Speaker 1: So where are your parents? Mom and dad work nights, 210 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 1: so they are likely still asleep. They both work at 211 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,639 Speaker 1: the hospital, and since they are new, they have to 212 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 1: take the majority of night chiefs for a while. That's 213 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:14,480 Speaker 1: why Grandma is visiting for the month. Oh, I see, 214 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:18,920 Speaker 1: it's no fun to work so late. It's okay, Grandma 215 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 1: is fun. A short time later, Jake heard aloud, oh 216 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:29,879 Speaker 1: oh sound coming from down the hallway. What is that, 217 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 1: Jake asked, suddenly, very nervous. Oh, that's fang. We are 218 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:39,359 Speaker 1: fostering a husky and it won't leave my mother's side. 219 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:43,800 Speaker 1: Otherwise we could play with her right now? A dog 220 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 1: that sounds like fun. I think my sister is allergic 221 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:52,639 Speaker 1: to dogs or something. Jake stayed at Lucas's house for 222 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:56,679 Speaker 1: a few hours before heading home to do homework before dinner. 223 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 1: After walking in the door or his sister, sitting at 224 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 1: the kitchen table reading, said, Jake, are you okay? You 225 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:11,639 Speaker 1: look very pale? And are those bitemarks on your neck? Mom? 226 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:17,439 Speaker 1: Come quick, I think Jake has been infected with Hemo viromnoctus. 227 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:24,480 Speaker 1: Ah ha ha, you are so very funny, Jake said, 228 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:29,160 Speaker 1: after rushing into the room. Their mother said, oh, Jennifer, 229 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,880 Speaker 1: you scared me for a second. How is your visit 230 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 1: with Lucas. Jake still convinced they are vampires or aliens 231 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 1: or whatever, Jennifer asked, laughing, not at this moment. Apparently, 232 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:47,960 Speaker 1: Lucas's parents work nights at the hospital, so that is 233 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,800 Speaker 1: why they are up late at night. Oh, Jake, I 234 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:55,680 Speaker 1: could have told you that they are our new er doctors, 235 00:18:55,920 --> 00:19:01,120 Speaker 1: his mother said, looking a little embarrassed. Jake continued, Yes, 236 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 1: and they just got a new husky, which might be 237 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,840 Speaker 1: the sound that woke me at night. Lucas said that 238 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,199 Speaker 1: the dog is not howling as much now that it 239 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 1: is comfortable in their home. You certainly are a silly boy, 240 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 1: his mother said, a stinky head, more like his sister said. 241 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 1: And that is the end of our story. Good Night, 242 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:30,920 Speaker 1: sleep tight.
