It's helped so 9 00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,880 Speaker 1: much with cutting down our screen time and getting ready 10 00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:33,040 Speaker 1: for bed as well. Well, are you ready for part 11 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:42,800 Speaker 1: two of today's story? Me too, Let's go. As Aj 12 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 1: was still laying in the grass looking at this tiny 13 00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 1: alien reveal his master plan to destroy or take over 14 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 1: planet Earth. He didn't know what to do. I gotta 15 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,040 Speaker 1: get out of here, but I can't leave Joey behind, 16 00:00:57,800 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 1: all right. I gotta wait till the alien's not looking 17 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 1: and then grab Joey and get out of here. You see, 18 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:06,319 Speaker 1: the alien was pretty small himself. It was just a 19 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 1: couple inches tall, but standing next to the size of Joey, 20 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:15,040 Speaker 1: Joey was like a small bug. So if the alien 21 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,479 Speaker 1: was able to change everyone into be the same size 22 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 1: as Joey, that would be absolutely terrible. A few minutes later, 23 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,839 Speaker 1: the alien went back into a spaceship, and AJ knew 24 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,679 Speaker 1: this was the moment that he had to move. He 25 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 1: ran over to Joey and carefully put his hands down 26 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,759 Speaker 1: in between the grass. Joey hopped up onto his right hand, 27 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 1: and AJ cupped its clothes to keep him safe as 28 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 1: he took off running. It's gonna be okay, Joey, We'll 29 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 1: figure this out. But are you okay? Like, does it 30 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 1: hurt to be small? Tell me what's going on in 31 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:54,919 Speaker 1: your mind? Well, uh, Laurel doesn't hurt. Let's just let's 32 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 1: just uh Laura far as strange little smaller than a 33 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 1: blood of cross? Does my sound ruled? AJ didn't know 34 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 1: what to say. Uh no, it sounds totally normal to me. 35 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 1: Don't worry. I'm sure we'll get this figured out any second. 36 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 1: As AJ was running up the hill, so many thoughts 37 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,639 Speaker 1: were racing through his mind. What would you do if 38 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 1: one of your best friends got shrunk down to the 39 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:26,359 Speaker 1: size as small as Joey? That would be that would 40 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 1: be pretty terrifying. If I'm honest, if my best friend 41 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 1: shrunk down to that little I would not know what 42 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,359 Speaker 1: to do, but I would have to look out for them. 43 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,079 Speaker 1: Aj made it up to where their bikes were in 44 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 1: their walkie talkies, and he called into HQ sh HQ, HQ, 45 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:48,640 Speaker 1: this is AJ. I have an emergency coming over sh 46 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:54,079 Speaker 1: This is HQAJ. What is your emergency? SH? I don't 47 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,360 Speaker 1: know how to explain this, but I think we just 48 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 1: watched some kind of alien spaceship crash land into the 49 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 1: grass down there, and then he shot some kind of 50 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: laser at Joey and now Joey is the size of 51 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:11,360 Speaker 1: a cricket. Over sh there was a long pause. I 52 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:17,519 Speaker 1: don't think HQ knew what to say. SH. Come again, AJ, 53 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,800 Speaker 1: can you clarify exactly what you just said? Did you 54 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: say that Special Agent Joey is the size of a cricket? Sh? Yes, HQ, yes, 55 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 1: confirm that is what I said. Joey is the size 56 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 1: of a cricket because this alien, who's also pretty small, 57 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 1: blasted some kind of laser at him. I need help now, 58 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 1: sh All right, AJ, take a deep breath. We'll send 59 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 1: a team there right now. Just hang tight. Sh AJ's 60 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 1: mind was still racing with all these different emotions and ideas, 61 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 1: and one idea stuck out to him. Huh, I wonder 62 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 1: if there's a wave like that alien is so small, 63 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 1: I bet I could make him make Joey back to 64 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 1: its normal size. But how am I gonna defend myself 65 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 1: against that laser? AJ thought to himself, do you guys 66 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 1: have any ideas of how you could defend yourself against 67 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:19,040 Speaker 1: a laser? Like? Is there anything that a laser might 68 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:24,119 Speaker 1: bounce off of, like reflect off of? Hmmm? Because if 69 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 1: if he could hold up like a shield, maybe there 70 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:28,919 Speaker 1: is a way that he could get closer to the 71 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:33,159 Speaker 1: alien and AJ wouldn't get shrunk down. Filmly he could 72 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 1: find a way to block that laser. All of a sudden, 73 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 1: AJ had an idea. Joey, all right, I'm gonna put 74 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,119 Speaker 1: you down next to your bike. Just stay here, don't move. 75 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,719 Speaker 1: I'm gonna ride my bike home. I'm gonna go grab something. 76 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 1: I'll be right back or call so hurl up, I'll 77 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 1: floor l vlner wor dwn slur very small hurl shouted Joey. Yeah, 78 00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 1: I'll go fast. AJ took off riding his bike towards home. 79 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 1: As he got to his home, he dropped his bike 80 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,040 Speaker 1: in the front yard and raced in the front door. 81 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 1: Mom Ma, Ma, Ma, Ma, Mom, are you here, Mom? Yes, 82 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 1: I'm I'm over here. What's wrong, said his mom. I 83 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 1: need a mirror. I need I need a big mirror. 84 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 1: Now hurry. What do you need a mirror for. It's 85 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,279 Speaker 1: really complicated. I don't know if I have time to explain. 86 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 1: Please tell me, said his mom. Oh, you're probably not 87 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 1: gonna leave me, but I'll give it a try. There's 88 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: an alien spaceship that crashed down in the grass, and 89 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,720 Speaker 1: then this alien came out and blasted Joey with a lasers, 90 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 1: shrank Joey down to the size of a cricket, and 91 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 1: now I need to find a way to save him. 92 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 1: His mom giggled, because AJ and Joey they always have 93 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 1: the best of fun with their imaginations. Wow, you guys 94 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,479 Speaker 1: sound like you're having fun. Yeah, here's a mirror you 95 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,279 Speaker 1: can use. Just be careful with it. Okay, thanks, bye bye, 96 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 1: AJ shouted as he grabbed the mirror and out the 97 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,599 Speaker 1: door he raced. AJ hopped on his bike and carefully 98 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:06,559 Speaker 1: was holding the mirror and riding as fast as he could. 99 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 1: He had to get back to where Joey was was 100 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 1: not safe to leave Joey alone. Joey, I'm here, where 101 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:19,920 Speaker 1: are you. I'm there, I'm hoddling a little aboutle Oh good, 102 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: that was smart. Joey, okay, um uh here, hop in 103 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 1: my pocket and then we'll go down and see if 104 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,599 Speaker 1: I can talk to that alien. Come on. He picked 105 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,600 Speaker 1: up Joey and placed him in his pocket. That was 106 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 1: a pretty safe place for Joey to be, at least 107 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: for a little while. Aj carefully crept down the hillside, 108 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 1: holding the mirror in front of him like a giant shield. 109 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: He had to be careful to not drop it because 110 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 1: then it would shatter everywhere. He'd be totally exposed to 111 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,600 Speaker 1: the laser and his mom would not be happy about that. 112 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,599 Speaker 1: Up ahead, he could see where that alien spaceship was 113 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:02,480 Speaker 1: still sitting there. It's light were blinking beep beep beep, 114 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:06,039 Speaker 1: beep beep, and he could see the alien standing on 115 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 1: top of the ship. Looked like he was talking to 116 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 1: somebody on like some kind of walky talkie thing. 117 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 2: Oh so it lurks like those plus, it's a fantastic 118 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 2: plus for our horteln to love.

The alien turned 125 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 1: around and looked at AJ and immediately blasted a laser 126 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 1: right at AJ. It bounced off the mirror, and the 127 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 1: alien was very confused. Oh the fuck of howls or 128 00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 1: or that? Come on closer.

Oh Joey, you're back, said AJ. WHOA, 140 00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 1: that was weird, said Joey as he looked around and 141 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:04,680 Speaker 1: looked down at his clothes. Everything was back to normal. Okay, 142 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 1: little alien, as he was still hiding behind that mirror. 143 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 1: We need you to get out of here, like, there's 144 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,600 Speaker 1: no way that you're going to transform all of humanity 145 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 1: into the size of crickets.
