00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:07,160

Speaker 1: along the way. Are you guys ready for today's adventure?

15
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: Me too. Let's go. Doctor Stinky Breath and Professor Sticky

16
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: Fingers tiptoed across the sidewalk in front of a school.

17
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:10,320
Speaker 1: Each evil villain held one side of a ginormous candy bowl.

18
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: They were trying hard to contain their evil laughter.

19
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 2: Oh boy, with the special magnets in these waits, anyone

20
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 2: who eats them will become a walking magnet for of

21
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 2: things valuable.

22
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: You're right, professor, and since these candies taste so good,

23
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 1: they won't be able to stop eating zem either. The

24
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 1: two evil geniuses placed the bowl directly in front of

25
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: the school doors. They held up their evil hands and

26
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: release their evil laughs into the night sky. The purple

27
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: blimp took this as a sign they were ready to

28
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: go and lower the ropes down for them both to

29
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: climb back up. Then it whisked them away into the night,

30
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: ready to watch their evil unfold from the safety of

31
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: their evil layers above the clouds. The next day, Emma

32
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 1: and Sophia walked at the steps towards school. They saw

33
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 1: a group of kids hovering at the top of the stairs,

34
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: right in front of the doors. I wonder what's going on,

35
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 1: Sophia said to Emma. Emma shrugged as they walked closer.

36
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: They made their way through the cloud coming up to

37
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 1: a giant bowl of candy. Free candy, Emma red office

38
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 1: sign attached to the front. Huh, definitely not evil. I

39
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: don't know about this, said Sophia, Like where did it

40
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: come from? No one just puts a bowl of free

41
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,079
Speaker 1: candy out like this. Then he was next to them,

42
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: stuffing his mouth. Who came from it? It's delicious, He

43
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: put a handful in front of Emma and Sophia's faces. Ah, no, thanks, Benny.

44
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: I I only eat candy that's been checked by my parents.

45
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: She quickly scanned around. And my parents aren't here, and

46
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: neither are any teachers, so not thanks. Okay, more for me,

47
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 1: said Benny as he nombed another handful of candy himself.

48
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: Sophia and Emma made their way around the ginormous candy

49
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,359
Speaker 1: bowl and the swarms of kids eating from it. They

50
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: watched their classmates wearily throughout the day, you know, cautiously

51
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: waiting for any weird side effects to occur. Everyone seemed

52
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: fine and happy with their candy, even pulling pieces out

53
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: of their pockets throughout the rest of the day to

54
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: sneak another bite. I'm not sure why I snorted there.

55
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: I meant more like this. Oh yeah, that's a better sound.

56
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: Emma was in the lunch line when she noticed coins

57
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: sticking to the back of the person in front of her.

58
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: Excuse me, you somehow have some money stuck to your shirt,

59
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: Emma said. She tried to pull it off, but it

60
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: wouldn't budge. The person turned around and looked at her funny,

61
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: shoving another piece of candy into their mouth. Oh uh, sorry,

62
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 1: never mind, Emma said awkwardly. Maybe it's just part of

63
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 1: their outfit, she wondered. Sophia was in our class when

64
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 1: she noticed all sorts of things stuck to her class

65
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: made across the table. There were paper clips along their sleeves,

66
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: pens stuck to their legs, and even a ring in

67
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: their hair. Uh, I, you have something stuck well everywhere,

68
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: Sophia tried to tell them, but they just gave her

69
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 1: a funny look and popped another piece of candy out

70
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 1: of their pocket and into their mouth. Things just kept

71
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: getting weirder though. Throughout the day, students continued to eat

72
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: candy as more and more of them walked around like

73
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: living magnets. Emma and Sophia met up at the end

74
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: of the day, relieved to see the other was still normal.

75
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:18,840
Speaker 1: It has to be the candy, said Sophia, And why

76
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: can't they stop eating it? Everything sticking to them and

77
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: how much of it is left? Emma shook her head.

78
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,919
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm glad we didn't eat any or

79
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 1: else we'd have all that stuff stuck to our bodies

80
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: as well. The two girls walked home from school together.

81
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: They were walking their normal path through town, passing the

82
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 1: movie theater and ice cream parlor. Up ahead, there was

83
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 1: a group of kids from school walking past the jewelry store.

84
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: Necklaces and rings began flying out of the windows and doors,

85
00:05:55,520 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: soon sticking right to the kids, but the kids were

86
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: too busy eating their candy they didn't even notice. Emma

87
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,359
Speaker 1: and Sophia were the first one's home. They waited on

88
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 1: the porch for their brother Eli. They heard him before

89
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: they saw him. Clink clink, clink sounded down the road.

90
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: Eli turned the corner, looking like he was wearing a

91
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: suit of armor.

92
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 2: Eli.

93
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: Oh no, why did you eat the candy? You know

94
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 1: we can't eat candy from strangers. Eli looked offended. Why

95
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: do you think I ate that candy? Eli? Look at you,

96
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: said Emma, but he didn't seem to care at all.

97
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 1: He went to pop another candy in his mouth, but

98
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 1: Emma snatched it out of his hand. Hey, that's mine,

99
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 1: give it back, shouted Eli. But Emma just crossed her

100
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 1: arms high the candy from view. Nah Ah, no way

101
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: am I giving this back to you. Look at yourself.

102
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: You look like a human junkyard. It was true. Eli

103
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 1: had all sorts of things stuck to him, uh fancy pens, cufflinks,

104
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: money rings, but he didn't even seem to notice. Just

105
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: like the other kids at school, they all seemed to

106
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: care more about eating the candy. He still had some

107
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: more candy in his pockets, so he ran to his

108
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 1: room to eat it and hide from his sisters. That night,

109
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: while Eli and the rest of the students from school

110
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: were sleeping, Professor Sticky Fingers enacted the second half of

111
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: his plan. Going house to house, the Purple Ninjas started

112
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: collecting all the valuables off the sleeping children. Oh dear.

113
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 1: They assumed every kid had eaten the candy since they

114
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 1: had made it so irresistibly delicious, so they went to

115
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: every house in the school district. Their plans seemed to

116
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: be working perfectly until they arrived at you know who,

117
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: Emma and Sophia's house. Why do I have to carry

118
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 1: the magnet around? It's so heavy?

119
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 2: Yeh, because Steve, you know you're you're a lot stronger

120
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 2: than me. Head anyway, I'm not tall enough to reach

121
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 2: the window. Come on, let me help you push up

122
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 2: that magnet.

123
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: And there they were holding up some kind of giant

124
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 1: magnet thing up to the open window. It only smokes.

125
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 1: All the stuff that was being stuck to the kids

126
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 1: was now being sucked out the window and right onto

127
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 1: their magnet. But little did they know that two spies

128
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:56,839
Speaker 1: were actually spying on them. Hey, purple ninges, freeze a

129
00:08:57,960 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 1: stave ron forest.

130
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 2: Okay, let's get on here.

131
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: Just like that, the two purple ninjas pushed their turbo

132
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:10,079
Speaker 1: blast off buttons and through zoomed up to the sky,

133
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,559
Speaker 1: just out of reach of Sophia and Emma, who were

134
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:17,679
Speaker 1: waiting for them. Ah man, they got away, said Emma,

135
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 1: it's okay, they can leave. But now we know exactly

136
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 1: who's behind the candy, and now we just got to

137
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: make sure that that candy bowl is destroyed forever. The

138
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 1: next day, Sophia and Emma arrived early at school and

139
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 1: quickly got rid of all that candy before the kids

140
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: even noticed. Thankfully, school life returned back to normal and

141
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 1: all the students didn't even remember the candy that had

142
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: happened the day before. It's a good thing that Emma

143
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: and Sofia were able to stop the purple ninjas and doctors,

144
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 1: take your breath before it was too late. Wow, great

145
00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:00,079
Speaker 1: job girls, and holy smokes. Yes, definitely don't eat any

146
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: candy that you don't know where it came from, because

147
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 1: it might just you know, be from a purple ninja.

148
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 1: This may be the end of our story, but it's

149
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,319
Speaker 1: only just the beginning of all the adventures that lie

150
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 1: ahead for Sophia and Emma. The end, we'll be right

151
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: back after a brief word from our sponsor. Great job,
