They sent me an idea and 10 00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:35,240 Speaker 1: are you ready for the adventure? I am, let's go. 11 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,800 Speaker 1: It was a beautiful day as Xander and Frankie were 12 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,720 Speaker 1: just taking off their shoes to jump on the trampoline 13 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:53,720 Speaker 1: in their backyard. All right, Xander, come on, climb in, 14 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 1: said Frankie as they opened up the door to that 15 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 1: net around the trampoline. They both crawled inside and started 16 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:07,920 Speaker 1: jumping around. Woooooooo oh, I love our Drebeline. Watch how 17 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:13,280 Speaker 1: highway can jump? Xander started jumping up and down so high, 18 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:17,560 Speaker 1: and so was Frankie. They were having such an amazing 19 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:22,959 Speaker 1: time when all of a sudden, something caught their eye. Hey, Frankie, 20 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,759 Speaker 1: have you ever seen that picture up in the attic before, 21 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:33,319 Speaker 1: said Xander. What picture are you talking about? Said Frankie 22 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 1: as he was still jumping and trying to talk. Frankie, 23 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 1: stop jumping. Hold on a second. All right, so see 24 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,039 Speaker 1: way up there in the window to the attic of 25 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 1: the house. Mm yep, I see it, said Frankie. All Right, 26 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 1: do a really big jump and it should be able 27 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 1: to give you the angle that I'm talking about. Look 28 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 1: in that window and jump really high and you should 29 00:01:55,720 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 1: see something. Okay, here we going. Frankie started to jump 30 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 1: higher and higher. I don't see it yet, but oh 31 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:12,919 Speaker 1: wait I do. Is that a painting, said Frankie. Yeah, 32 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 1: that's what I thought too, said Xander. That is a 33 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 1: really cool looking painting. I want to go check it out. 34 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 1: I think we totally should come on. Xander was the 35 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,119 Speaker 1: first one to jump out of the trampoline, throwing his shoes, 36 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 1: and Frankie was right behind. They hadn't really spent much 37 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 1: time in the attic of their house, but that painting 38 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 1: looked really interesting. The colors on it looked like it 39 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 1: swirled and swirled, almost like it was moving, but it 40 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:49,919 Speaker 1: was probably just the light reflecting off it through. As 41 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 1: Xander and Frankie zoomed in the back door. Their parents 42 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 1: tried to say hello, but they zoomed right past. Whoa Xander, Frankie, 43 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 1: do you guys have fun of the trampoline? We where 44 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,519 Speaker 1: are you going? Running upstairs in the attic. We'll be 45 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:08,360 Speaker 1: ready to the attic. Why do you want to go 46 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: up there? It's really dusty and spiderwebby, said one of 47 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 1: their parents. Oh well, come here, Milo, let's get you 48 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 1: some food. Milo was a little puppy that lived there, 49 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 1: and Milo ate a lot of food. Have you ever 50 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 1: seen a puppy eat? Wow, they're pretty messy and they 51 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 1: eat a lot of food. Xander and Frankie ran upstairs 52 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 1: and there was this ladder that was up in their ceiling. 53 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 1: You had to pull on the string and pull it down. 54 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: It was very squeaky as it came down, and it 55 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 1: also had a lot of dust and dirt that fell 56 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 1: on them as they pulled it down. Oh, Frankie, that 57 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 1: was all over my face, said Xander. Oh sorry, should 58 00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 1: have given you a heads up to look away or 59 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 1: some Oh dear, you look terrible, said Frankie. Xander wiped 60 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: his face off with his hands and said that was disgusting. 61 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 1: All right, that was. Anyway, let's get up there and 62 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: see what that painting was. Come on, Xander and Frankie 63 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,919 Speaker 1: carefully walked up that ladder going into their attic. With 64 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 1: each step it kind of bounced and wiggled and made 65 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 1: him feel a little nervous, but they finally reached the 66 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 1: top and crawled into the attic. Wow, this place is amazing, 67 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 1: said Frankie. No, this place is disgusting, said Xander. Look 68 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 1: at all the cobwebs and ooh okay, so what window 69 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 1: did we see that painting through? I think it was 70 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,279 Speaker 1: the one in the back, said Xander. Come on, the 71 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 1: ceiling was pretty low, so they had to stay very 72 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 1: close down to the ground, almost like they were crawling 73 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 1: on their knees, but they could kind of scoot along 74 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 1: the way. WHOA, there it is, said Frankie as he 75 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,479 Speaker 1: pointed his finger towards the wall. There it was. That 76 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,840 Speaker 1: was the painting that they saw out the window when 77 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 1: they were jumping on the trampoline outside. Whoh, it looks 78 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 1: almost magical, said Xander. I've definitely never seen anything like 79 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 1: this before, said Frankie. They were right. This painting it 80 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 1: looked like it was swirling and moving in the center. 81 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 1: Like normally paintings don't move right. Yeah, it's just like 82 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 1: a picture. It's it's stuck. But this one was different. 83 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 1: The closer they got to it, they started to feel 84 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 1: it was like pulling them closer and closer. Frankie, wait, 85 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 1: what's happening. I feel like it's a magnet and it's 86 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: pulling me closer, said Xander. Me too, said Frankie. Whoa, 87 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 1: whoa who. All of a sudden, out of nowhere, both 88 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:05,839 Speaker 1: of them got sucked into the painting, dundundun. All the 89 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 1: commotion up in the attic caught the attention of Milo 90 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 1: the puppy uf roof roof. He walked over towards the 91 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 1: ladder and looked up ruf ruf ruff. Oh no. Milo 92 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:28,479 Speaker 1: started to climb up the ladder towards the attic. Uh oh. Meanwhile, 93 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:33,479 Speaker 1: Xander and Frankie were now whirling and twirling and spinning 94 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,720 Speaker 1: their way into the painting, when all of a sudden 95 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:42,359 Speaker 1: they landed into a room oof with a thud. Xander, 96 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 1: are you okay, said Frankie. Oh yeah, I'm okay. Where 97 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 1: are we? I don't know. We're in some kind of 98 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 1: room with white walls and white ceiling, and ohh, there's 99 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 1: a lot of doors here. Xander and Frankie started to 100 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 1: look around. They were inside of this very large white 101 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: room with I don't know, there had to have been 102 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 1: one hundred doors. Where in the world are we? This 103 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 1: is not our attic, said Frankie. Xander ran over to 104 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 1: a door and opened it up. WHOA what the and 105 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 1: he quickly closed the door back shut. Did you say that? 106 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 1: Said Xander. On the other side of the door, it 107 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 1: was like we were on top of the tallest mountain 108 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 1: in the whole wide world. It was windy and snowy 109 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 1: and definitely not at home. Okay, that's not good. Uh, 110 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 1: let me try this one over here. Frankie ran over 111 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 1: to another door and opened it up. It's a jungle door. 112 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 1: He slammed the door shut. Where are we, said Frankie. 113 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 1: I don't know. It looks like we've laid it in 114 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 1: some kind of portal room. I bet behind each door 115 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 1: is a different place, and as soon as we walk 116 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 1: through that door, we'll end up in that jungle, or 117 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 1: on that mountaintopp or somewhere else. But how do we 118 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 1: get home? Shouted Xander? Was that milo? Said Frankie? It 119 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 1: sounded just like Milo, Milo. Where are you? It's coming 120 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 1: from this door over here, said Sander as he ran 121 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:36,560 Speaker 1: over and opened the door. Milo. There was Milo in 122 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,960 Speaker 1: their attic. This is the door that leads back to 123 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,960 Speaker 1: our attic. Come on, let's get out of here. Sander 124 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,080 Speaker 1: and Frankie walked through that door and they were back 125 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 1: in their attic. Holy smokes, where did we go? And 126 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 1: what is going on? Said Frankie. I'm pretty sure that 127 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 1: that painting led us into some kind of portal room. 128 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 1: We've got to go tell our parents. Come on. Xander 129 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 1: picked up Milo and Frankie followed behind as they came 130 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 1: down the ladder to tell their parents about what crazy 131 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 1: thing that they had just discovered in their attic. Holy smokes, Wow, 132 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 1: what an amazing adventure that they just went on all 133 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 1: the way up to their attic.
