Levi, Are we still going on a hike? 13 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:43,960 Speaker 1: Called Levi's dad from the garage as he was searching 14 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,279 Speaker 1: for his hiking poles. If you don't want to go, 15 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 1: just let me know. 16 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 2: At this point, Levi I was playing basketball outside with 17 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:52,040 Speaker 2: his mom and sister, and he looked upset when he 18 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:55,000 Speaker 2: heard his dad calling his name. He had promised that 19 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:56,840 Speaker 2: he would go hiking, but now that it was time 20 00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 2: to go, he really didn't want to. Sure, Yeah, I'll 21 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,640 Speaker 2: be there in a minute, said Levi reluctantly, as he 22 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:08,039 Speaker 2: dribbled around the driveway. Levi, you did promise, said his mom, 23 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,400 Speaker 2: And you know how much your dad loves hanging out 24 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,120 Speaker 2: with you. Come on, it'll be fun. Maybe you'll see 25 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 2: some cool animals or find a waterfall. That would be fun, right, sure, mom, 26 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 2: said Levi, sounding less than excited. He knew his mom 27 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 2: was just trying to be positive, but it didn't change 28 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 2: the fact that he didn't feel like going hiking. But 29 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 2: after his dad walked out of the garage and his 30 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:30,960 Speaker 2: new hiking boots, with his hiking poles and his backpack 31 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,960 Speaker 2: filled with trail snacks, Levi couldn't say no. His dad 32 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 2: looked so excited he really didn't want to disappoint him. Hey, Dad, 33 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 2: you look awesome, said Levi. I'm all ready to go. 34 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 2: Levi's dad could tell his son was less than enthusiastic 35 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 2: about their outing and tried his best to let him 36 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 2: know how much fun it was gonna be, Levi, We're 37 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 2: gonna hike a completely new trail today, one we've never 38 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 2: been to before. It'll be so exciting, like we're explorers, 39 00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 2: traveling in a new part of the world, discovering unique, 40 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 2: amazing things. I hope you don't discover a big patch 41 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 2: of poison, Ivy, like last time you went hiking, hagled 42 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 2: Ivy as she grabbed the basketball from Levi. Thanks for 43 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 2: reminding me, Ivy, Levi snappedat. Oh, that won't happen again, 44 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 2: said Levi's dad, reassuringly. 45 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,239 Speaker 1: I know just what to keep an eye out for now. 46 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:22,239 Speaker 1: Leaves of three let it be? Or was it leaves 47 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: of four? Hikings a bore, whispered Levi under his breath. 48 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:28,080 Speaker 1: Either way, I have. 49 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 2: My hiking book and we can look it up if 50 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:31,959 Speaker 2: we think we see some poison. Ivy, Sound good, Levi 51 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:34,959 Speaker 2: asked his dad with a big smile on his face. 52 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 2: Sounds great, said Levi, trying to sound excited, but not 53 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 2: doing a very good job at it. His dad was 54 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,079 Speaker 2: starting to see more and more that Levi didn't want 55 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 2: to go hiking, and it was starting to make him 56 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:50,079 Speaker 2: feel a little bad. We can just keep this hike short, okay, buddy, 57 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 2: said Levi's dad as he walked toward the car. Now 58 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 2: Levi felt bad. He didn't want his dad to be upset. 59 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 2: He loved hanging out with him. It was hiking that 60 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 2: he was in such a big but since his dad 61 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,799 Speaker 2: loved it, Levi thought he should try a little harder 62 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 2: to see what it was about, and that day it 63 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 2: was a good idea that he did, because that hiking 64 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 2: trip would turn out to be pretty rad. Levi and 65 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,919 Speaker 2: his dad drove to the conservation area where the hiking 66 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 2: trail was. As they did, his dad started telling him 67 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,959 Speaker 2: a story about why he liked hiking so much, hoping 68 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,359 Speaker 2: that by doing this it would help Levi understand why 69 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 2: he wanted to share this activity with him. My dad 70 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 2: and I used to go hiking all the time, began 71 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:29,080 Speaker 2: Levi's dad. 72 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: It was kind of our thing. 73 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 2: We'd take off into the woods with some snacks and 74 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 2: water and see what we could find. We'd see all 75 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 2: kinds of animals, go fishing in streams. We even found 76 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 2: a waterfall one day. I loved hiking so much that 77 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 2: I would go with my friends all the time. We 78 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 2: would bring some toys into the woods behind my house 79 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 2: and play all day, building fords and pretending to be 80 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 2: great explorers. Of course, we could see the house from 81 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 2: the trails we were hiking on, but if we used 82 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 2: our imagination, we were hiking some unknown trail on the 83 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 2: other side of the world. 84 00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 1: It was great. 85 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 2: It was at that moment that Levi I realized that 86 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 2: hiking was more than just wandering through the woods with 87 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 2: his dad. It was a part of his childhood that 88 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 2: he wanted to make a part of Levi's childhood too. 89 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 2: Levi decided to change his attitude toward hiking, at least 90 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 2: for that day. He was going to be open minded 91 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 2: and see what the day had in store for him 92 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 2: and his dad. Once they arrived at the start of 93 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 2: the trail, Levi I had a big smile on his face. 94 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 2: He apologized for being in a bad mood at home 95 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,359 Speaker 2: and told his dad he was excited to have a 96 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 2: great day with him. That's so awesome to hear, buddy, 97 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 2: said Levi's dad. Now let's go start our awesome adventure. 98 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 2: The hike started out as any normal hikewood. There were 99 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 2: some bugs, some fallen trees to jump over, and some 100 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 2: muddy puddles to splash in. There were lots of birds 101 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 2: chirping and squawking overhead, and mysterious rustling in the bushes, 102 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:48,039 Speaker 2: which Levi's dad always suggested was bigfoot. No, Dad, I 103 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,559 Speaker 2: don't see a bigfoot over there by the trailmarker sign, 104 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 2: laughed Levi. 105 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:53,559 Speaker 1: For the third or fourth time that hiking trip. 106 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 2: Oh good, because I definitely thought I saw a big, 107 00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 2: furry something run that way, said Levi's dad with the 108 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 2: good smile. 109 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,039 Speaker 1: Maybe we just missed him. 110 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 2: They continued on following the trail as it wound through 111 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 2: the forest. As they did, the sun got stronger and 112 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,040 Speaker 2: it was time to stop for a snack and some water. 113 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 2: Levi then suggested that he and his dad wander off 114 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 2: the trail and see if they could find a place 115 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 2: to cool off. Maybe we can even find a brook 116 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:21,800 Speaker 2: or a stream to dip our feet in, said Levi. 117 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:23,720 Speaker 2: I kind of feel like I hear the sound of 118 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:28,280 Speaker 2: rushing water coming from over there. I love your adventurous spirit, 119 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,839 Speaker 2: replied Levi's dad. But safety first. As long as we 120 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:33,919 Speaker 2: can see in the main trail, we can do a 121 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,280 Speaker 2: little exploring. Levi was fine with that and ventured off 122 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,600 Speaker 2: the trail with his dad right behind him. He pushed 123 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,159 Speaker 2: aside vines and walked through bushes before stopping in his dracks. 124 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 1: Dad Levi called out, you've gotta see this. What did 125 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 1: you find? Called out Levi's dad, quickly walking toward where 126 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 1: he had been standing. 127 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,039 Speaker 2: Is it a brook or cool animal? Or Bigfoot. Is 128 00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:57,839 Speaker 2: it bigfoot? 129 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,599 Speaker 1: No, Dad, it's not bigfoot, but answered Levi. But it 130 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,159 Speaker 1: is definitely just as cool. 131 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 2: As Levi's dad got closer, he looked over Levi's shoulder 132 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,159 Speaker 2: and saw what he was looking at. It certainly was 133 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,359 Speaker 2: nothing that either of them expected to see in the forest. 134 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,919 Speaker 2: It wasn't a brook, or an animal, or even bigfoot. Instead, 135 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 2: as they stood side by side just a short way 136 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 2: from the main trail, they found themselves staring at a 137 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:29,039 Speaker 2: time machine. They couldn't believe what they were looking at. 138 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,919 Speaker 2: They quickly discovered that rushing watersound that Levi heard was 139 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,720 Speaker 2: coming from the strange looking metal machine. 140 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 1: It was whirling and. 141 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 2: Beeping and looked like something out of one of Levi's 142 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,280 Speaker 2: science fiction TV shows, the ones where time travel is 143 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 2: real and people could jump back or forward to any 144 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 2: time they wanted to. After watching so many of those shows, 145 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,280 Speaker 2: it didn't take Levi long before he asked his dad 146 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 2: if he could go inside. I don't think so, Levi 147 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 2: began his dad. I'm pretty sure your mom would be 148 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 2: mad at me if I let you go inside a 149 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 2: time machine we found in the forest, and oh whist 150 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 2: away to the time of the dinosaurs or something. After all, 151 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,239 Speaker 2: she was mad at me when I was ten minutes 152 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 2: late picking you up from soccer practice last week. Well 153 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 2: maybe we could go together, dad ask LEVI. Think of 154 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 2: how cool it would be the ultimate exploration adventure. Levi's 155 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 2: dad had to admit he was really interested, but remembered 156 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 2: what his dad would tell him every time they went hiking. 157 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 2: Safety first. Okay, buddy, I'll tell you what. I'll go 158 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 2: in and see what it's all about, said Levi's dad. 159 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 2: It wouldn't be safe if we both went in. We 160 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 2: need to keep someone in this time to mention, just 161 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 2: in case, In case of what, dad asked Levi, looking 162 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 2: really excited. In case I chase a dinosaur out of 163 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 2: this thing, you'll need to be here to wrangle it 164 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 2: and get it back to the Cretaceous period, laughed Levi's dad. 165 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 2: Levi laughed as well and wished his dad good luck 166 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 2: as he walked toward the time machine. 167 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 1: The giant metal machine. 168 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 2: Was covered in bell's whistle, switches, dials, clocks, and buttons. 169 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 2: Where should I go, asked Levi's dad as he looked 170 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 2: around inside. 171 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: Oh wait, I know. 172 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 2: It didn't take long before his dad turned to on 173 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 2: one of the keypads marked destination year and typed in 174 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 2: nineteen ninety seven. He'd been talking about his childhood so 175 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 2: much that day that he thought why not travel back 176 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 2: to it for a minute. But of course, before he 177 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 2: pressed the start button, he made sure to figure out 178 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 2: how he was going to get back. He saw another 179 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 2: keypad labeled destination timeframe. He typed in five minutes and 180 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 2: turned to face Levi. I'll be back in five minutes, buddy, 181 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 2: said Levi's dad. But before he left, he tied a 182 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 2: length of rope that he had in his hiking backpack 183 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 2: around his waist. He then gave the other end to 184 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 2: Levi to hold on to. He figured if he needed 185 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 2: any help, he could just have Levi pull on the 186 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 2: rope and bring him back right into the forest. Have fun, dad, 187 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 2: I can't wait to hear all about your time traveling 188 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 2: adventure when you get back, said Levi. Levi's dad smile 189 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 2: pressed the start button and in a matter of seconds 190 00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 2: was whisked away into a cloud of smoke as the 191 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:04,680 Speaker 2: time machine buzzed and spun around. Five minutes past, but 192 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,199 Speaker 2: it felt like forever. Levi had set a timer on 193 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 2: his dad's phone that he left with him before he 194 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 2: started his adventure. Levi kept checking it to see when 195 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 2: his dad would be back. As he waited, he counted 196 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:16,959 Speaker 2: down count with me friends from five. 197 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 1: Four, three, two one. Great job. 198 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,839 Speaker 2: Just then, the time machine buzzed, beaped, and spun around again. 199 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 2: Levi went to pull on the rope he was holding 200 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:30,440 Speaker 2: to help his dad out of the time machine, but 201 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 2: as he did, he noticed there was no resistance. The 202 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 2: rope wasn't tied to anything anymore. It slipped out of 203 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,559 Speaker 2: the time machine without Levi's dad on the other end. 204 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 1: Oh no, Levi thought to himself. 205 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:46,719 Speaker 2: As the time machine settled to a stop, Levi was 206 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 2: hoping his dad would walk out and tell him all 207 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 2: about what he saw. However, what Levi saw next was 208 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:56,080 Speaker 2: not exactly what he was expecting. Instead of his dad 209 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 2: out of the time machine, stumbled a boy about his age. 210 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 1: Hey, buddy, said the little boy. My name's Eric. 211 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 2: I was just on a hike with my dad and 212 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 2: my friend Zach, but we got separated. 213 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,359 Speaker 1: Have you seen them? 214 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,440 Speaker 2: Levi didn't know exactly what to say at first, but 215 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:17,840 Speaker 2: something about the little boy seemed very, very familiar. He 216 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,320 Speaker 2: couldn't help but think that he looked like someone he knew. 217 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 2: His voice also sounded like the one Levi had heard before, 218 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 2: and as he stood there he started to put the 219 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:29,559 Speaker 2: pieces of the puzzle together. The little boy looked familiar. 220 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 2: He sounded familiar. Levi's dad's name was Eric, and he 221 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 2: always called him buddy. 222 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, it's my dad as a little. 223 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 2: Kid, Levi shouted in his head. Not wanting to freak 224 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,560 Speaker 2: out the little boy, Levi kept that information to himself 225 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 2: and simply replied, Hi, my name's Levi. 226 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:51,560 Speaker 1: That's a totally awesome name, replied Eric. Have you seen 227 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,680 Speaker 1: my dad? We love hiking together. 228 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 2: Maybe not your dad, but I think my dad is 229 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 2: pretty close by, said Levi. Okay, I guess I'll just 230 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,680 Speaker 2: wait here for my dad to come back, then, said Eric. 231 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 2: Up until that point, Eric had noticed the time machine 232 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 2: and couldn't believe his eyes when he turned around and 233 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 2: finally saw it. 234 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 1: A time machine. My dad would think this is so cool, 235 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,960 Speaker 1: exclaimed Eric. I can't wait to show it to him. 236 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,200 Speaker 2: I totally want to go in there and check it out, 237 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:26,560 Speaker 2: but my dad always says safety first. While Eric was 238 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 2: looking at the time machine, Levi was trying to figure 239 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,960 Speaker 2: out how to handle the situation. Then, all of a sudden, 240 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 2: they both heard rustling in the bushes. It was then 241 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 2: that Eric turned toward the noise quickly with a smile, 242 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 2: and said, do. 243 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 1: You think that's bigfoot? 244 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 2: He started to laugh and then explain to Levi that 245 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 2: his dad always said that when they heard a noise 246 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 2: while hiking. Levi couldn't help but smile too, now knowing 247 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 2: why his dad would say to him all the time 248 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,200 Speaker 2: on their hikes. While we're waiting here, do you have 249 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,840 Speaker 2: any toys to play with? Asked Eric. I forgot my backpack. 250 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 2: I usually have some POGs in there, or my trolls dolls, 251 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 2: or my Nintendo g that's my favorite toy. I'm sorry, 252 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 2: but I don't have any toys with me. I don't 253 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,959 Speaker 2: know what any of those things are. Answered Levi, Oh man, 254 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 2: I'm so mad, not laughed Eric. It's okay, buddy, I'm 255 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,720 Speaker 2: sure our dads will be back in no time. It 256 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 2: was then that Levi knew he needed to get his 257 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 2: dad back for sure. That's when he suggested that Eric 258 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 2: go into the time machine. He did just what his 259 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 2: dad did a few minutes earlier, tied the rope he 260 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,840 Speaker 2: was holding around Eric's waist. He told Eric it was 261 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 2: there so he would be able to pull him back 262 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 2: if he needed to. Eric, it was great meeting you, 263 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 2: It really was, But you need to go back to 264 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 2: your dad, and I need my dad back here with me, 265 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 2: sorted Levi. You have to trust me when I say 266 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:45,560 Speaker 2: I think the only way to do that is if 267 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 2: you go on a little time traveling adventure. I love adventures, 268 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 2: so I'll do it, said Eric with a big smile. 269 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 2: This rope seems pretty safe, so I think my dad 270 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 2: would approve. It was really great meeting you, Levi. I 271 00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,440 Speaker 2: know this is going to sound weird, but I feel 272 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,960 Speaker 2: like I already know you, like we've met before. May 273 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 2: you be, answered Levi with a smile. I have a 274 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 2: feeling too, and it's that we'll see each other again. 275 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 2: Sounds totally cool to me, buddy, answered Eric as he 276 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 2: typed in nineteen ninety seven again into the keypad marked 277 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 2: destination year. Levi didn't tell him about the destination time 278 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 2: frame keepad so they could leave a blank, allowing Eric 279 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,440 Speaker 2: to jump back into the correct time travel timeline and 280 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 2: not return back to Levi. Eric waved goodbye to Levi 281 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:30,560 Speaker 2: as he pressed the start button. Bye Dad, see you soon, 282 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 2: whispered Levi to himself, hoping his plan to get his 283 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,680 Speaker 2: dad back would work. The time machine buzz beefed and 284 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 2: spun around. When it stopped, Levi held his breath, waiting 285 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,080 Speaker 2: to see who would step out, and hoping it would 286 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 2: be his dad on the other end of the rope, 287 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 2: not his dad as a kid. Then he heard Levi. Levi, 288 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:50,560 Speaker 2: are you there, dad, called out Levi as he ran 289 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 2: toward the time machine. A light smoke cleared as Levi's 290 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:55,680 Speaker 2: dad stepped out, looking like a dad, not like a 291 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 2: little kid anymore. As he did, the time machine seemed 292 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 2: to fade away into the light smoke until it was 293 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 2: gone completely. It was as if it had been waiting 294 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 2: there just for Levi and his dad. But Levi was 295 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,360 Speaker 2: so happy to see his dad he didn't give any 296 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 2: more thought to the time machine. It's so great to 297 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 2: see you again, Eric, exclaimed Levi, Eric replied his dad. 298 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 2: It was clear to Levi at that point that his 299 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 2: dad didn't know that the kid version of him had 300 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 2: time traveled to the future while he was exploring nineteen 301 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 2: ninety seven. Oh sorry, I mean, dad, answered Levi. I 302 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 2: don't know what I'm saying. I'm just really happy to 303 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 2: see you. How is time traveling? Levi's dad then went 304 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 2: on to tell him all about what he saw back 305 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 2: in nineteen ninety seven. He talked about the silly words 306 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 2: they used, the toys they played with, and seeing some 307 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 2: of his friends when he jumped back in time. I 308 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 2: saw my friend Zach, said Levi's dad. It was so 309 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 2: funny to see him as a little kid. He was 310 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 2: playing with my favorite toy. Ever, you're a Nintendo game boy, 311 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 2: said Levi quickly, Yes, said Levi's dad, sounding confused. 312 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 1: How did you know that? 313 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:03,600 Speaker 2: You told me one time that it was your favorite toy, 314 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 2: said Levi, quickly, trying to cover up how he would 315 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 2: have known that. Well, after all, I think we should 316 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,440 Speaker 2: be getting home, said Levi's dad. I had a great 317 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 2: time with you today, buddy. I hope you had fun too, 318 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 2: Probably the most fun I've had in a long time, 319 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 2: dad said Levi. Thank you for taking me hiking. Do 320 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 2: you think this could be our thing now? Like how 321 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 2: you and your dad used to hike together all the time. Absolutely, Levi. 322 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 2: Nothing would make me happier, said Levi's dad, giving his 323 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 2: son a big hug.
