It's the most beautiful 24 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:38,759 Speaker 2: crystal life ever. Say, Steve, what are you doing? Put 25 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,399 Speaker 2: that back? You're not supposed to take that out and 26 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 2: hold it around like that. 27 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 1: That's one of the rarest crystals in the whole wide world. 28 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 2: No, but it's so cool. We worked so hard to 29 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 2: get this and I just wanted to take a selfie 30 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 2: with it. 31 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 1: Take a selfie, Steve, Come on, give it back here, 32 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 1: Hold on one second, Dave, give it here, And just 33 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:15,399 Speaker 1: like that, Steve accidentally dropped it out the window. There 34 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,640 Speaker 1: it goes. You see, they're inside of their stinky blimp lab, 35 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 1: way up high above the clouds, and while they were 36 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:26,640 Speaker 1: wrestling for that stinky crystal, it actually accidentally fell out 37 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:32,920 Speaker 1: the window. Steve, How didn't you? How couldn't you? It's gone, 38 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 1: It's done. It's probably rigged o there. How are we 39 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,640 Speaker 1: supposed to find it? Look, it's cloudy. We don't even 40 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 1: know where it dropped. 41 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 2: Oh, don't worry. I'm sure we'll find it. 42 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:51,239 Speaker 1: You'd better be righter. The boss is gonna be mad. Meanwhile, 43 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,839 Speaker 1: down below, on the ground, it was a school day. 44 00:02:55,280 --> 00:03:00,639 Speaker 1: Derek and Becca were just getting ready for lunch. Lunch 45 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,679 Speaker 1: was a very important, amazing part of the day. Oh, 46 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,359 Speaker 1: you got to fill your tummies and hang with friends. 47 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,679 Speaker 1: But all of a sudden, the day took a very 48 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:17,799 Speaker 1: unexpected turn. Hey, Derek, did you get that alert too? 49 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,639 Speaker 1: I did, said Derek. Becca. Why don't you play the 50 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 1: message and we can listen. You see, that sound is 51 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 1: the alert that our spy team sends to the kids 52 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 1: on our spy team, and so they had walkie talkies 53 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 1: and that buzz sound means that there's a message from HQ. 54 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 1: Sh Derek, Becca, this is HQ. We were just informed 55 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 1: by a local informant that a stinky crystal has been 56 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: found near your school during recess. Our spy informant will 57 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 1: work with you on getting that stinky crystal removed safely 58 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 1: before the Purple Ninjas find it over and out. Sh 59 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 1: Holy smokes, Becca, did you hear that we got a 60 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: spy mission during recess? I know, Derek, that's so exciting, 61 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,280 Speaker 1: said Becca. We gotta finish our lunch and get ready 62 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 1: to solve this mystery. Derek and Beccha were both very 63 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:26,919 Speaker 1: excited at solving this mystery because stinky crystals are very rare, 64 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 1: and we never want them to fall in the hands 65 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 1: of doctor Stinky Breath and his Purple Ninjas. Yikes. This 66 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 1: is gonna be really important that they're able to find 67 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,719 Speaker 1: and locate and remove the stinky crystal in time. It 68 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 1: was finally time for recess as Becca and Derek walked outside. Oh, 69 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:53,920 Speaker 1: it's a cold day, said Derek as he was shivering tight. 70 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 1: It's a good thing they both wore jackets, but it 71 00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:00,920 Speaker 1: was still a pretty chilly day. What did HQ say, 72 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,599 Speaker 1: who are we supposed to look for? Shivered Becca. I 73 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: think they said there's gonna be some kind of spy informant. Uh. 74 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,839 Speaker 1: I don't know who though. They both looked around on 75 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:18,479 Speaker 1: the playground and didn't see anyone until they heard a sound. 76 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:24,480 Speaker 1: Oh Arrouler, Did you hear that, Derek said Becca, I did, 77 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:29,480 Speaker 1: Where'd it come from? Erler? Just then they turned around 78 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 1: towards the big oak tree, and on the side of 79 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:37,840 Speaker 1: the oak tree was some kind of talking squirrel.
