It was hard 18 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 1: work for everyone, so much waiting, but the day was 19 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 1: finally here. The egg it's cracking body pointed at the incubator, 20 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 1: bouncing around with glee. Miss Melly smiled, Yes, our eggs 21 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 1: are finally hatching. Wow, great job, class, you did all 22 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,480 Speaker 1: such a good job watching them grow this past month. 23 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 1: It's big, heissy, it's big, shouted Sonny. Miss Melly nodded, Oh, 24 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 1: you're right. They use their beaks to break through the shell. 25 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 3: Wow. 26 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 1: The class looked on in amazement as the eggs cracked 27 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 1: and baby chicks. 28 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 2: Began to appear. Oh they're adorable. 29 00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 1: Have you ever seen baby chickens? Oh they're fluffy feathers 30 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 1: and oh, look at that one. The first chick poked 31 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 1: its head out and cheaped at the kids. All right, class, 32 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 1: let's let the chicks finish hatching and rest as we 33 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,799 Speaker 1: get ready to go to art class. Come on now, 34 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 1: miss Mellie said, as she ushered everyone back to their desks. 35 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,919 Speaker 1: The kids cleaned up and grabbed their supplies. Then Miss 36 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 1: Melly called out, all right, my little chickadees, time for art. 37 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,679 Speaker 1: We will move the baby chicks into their pen when 38 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 1: we come back. The whole class it was so excited 39 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 1: as they began to line up, Miss Melly had to 40 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 1: remind them to be quiet in the halls as they 41 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 1: cheaped and chirped like a class of chickens. Once the 42 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 1: class was out of sight, That's when the trouble began. Dune, dune, 43 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 1: dun crash. The ceiling grate fell to the ground in 44 00:02:58,040 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 1: the kindergarten classroom. 45 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 4: Sh whyet, someone will hear us. You have to get 46 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 4: those chicks for the bus before they get back. 47 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,360 Speaker 1: Two purple Ninjas popped out of the ceiling and tiptoed 48 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 1: their way towards the incubator. Inside with the baby chicks, 49 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 1: they were all huddled together, relaxing, sleeping after their big 50 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 1: escape from their eggs. They're so small and fluffing gross. 51 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 3: Maybe get this thing open, get them out of here. 52 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 2: Come on, why do. 53 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 4: We need baby chicks a kid? Because chicks make kids happy, 54 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 4: and happiness makes the boss sick. Also, their pants get 55 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 4: really sticky. He can use a new scent for the 56 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 4: purple blimp. He's tired of the smell of his sweaty 57 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 4: snow boots. You know those are his winter scent. Ooh 58 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 4: all right, oh, okay, to tell me what this lid. 59 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 4: The two purple Ninjas struggled to get the top off 60 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 4: the incubator. Pulling all there might, they. 61 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 1: Pried it off. It fell with a clank onto the floor. 62 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 1: You sh They went back and forth shushing each other 63 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 1: until another purple ninja popped out of the ceiling. 64 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,720 Speaker 3: Let us take some lot those chicks before the kids 65 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:22,160 Speaker 3: come back. 66 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 2: Come on. 67 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 1: The two purple ninjas reached into the incubator and scooped 68 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:30,799 Speaker 1: up the chicks, slipping back into the ceiling vent. Sonny 69 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:35,599 Speaker 1: and Body entered the classroom. Body had forgotten to take 70 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 1: his lucky pencil, and there was no way he could 71 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:43,600 Speaker 1: draw a perfect penguin without it. They were drawing penguins 72 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 1: in art class. As Body danced over to his desk, 73 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,600 Speaker 1: Sonny snuck a peek at the baby chicks, or where 74 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:52,839 Speaker 1: the chicks should have been. 75 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 2: Body. 76 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 1: Sonny called out, the chicks, they're gone. Body rushed over 77 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 1: to his on east side. What where do they go? 78 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 1: He ducked under the table and looked under the chairs, 79 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 1: over by the bookshelves. No chicks anywhere. The two kids 80 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 1: started searching every inch of the classroom with no luck. 81 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 1: They were about to give up and find miss Mellie 82 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 1: when they heard a jeep jeep from the ceiling. Sonny 83 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 1: and Body looked up, then at each other. Are you 84 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:36,160 Speaker 1: thinking what I'm thinking? Sonny asked that you hope today's 85 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 1: pizza day? 86 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 3: For lunch. 87 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: Body wondered, No, the chicks. I think someone stole them 88 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 1: and they went through the ceiling vent. Sonny pointed to 89 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 1: the ceiling grate on the floor and then back up 90 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:55,840 Speaker 1: at the open vent. Now Body understood it wasn't about pizza. 91 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,279 Speaker 1: He was about to ask who would do such a thing, 92 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:04,920 Speaker 1: and purple slime dripped from the open ceiling venting onto 93 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 1: the floor with the big what they both knew what that. 94 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:13,480 Speaker 2: Meant, purple engines. 95 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: They shouted. Then they listened closely. They could hear the cheep, 96 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 1: cheep echoing through the vent, moving towards the hallway. They 97 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:30,280 Speaker 1: can't stand there forever, let's follow those cheaping chicks. Body 98 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 1: led the way into the hallway, following the sound of 99 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 1: cheaping from their classroom to the next. The purple Ninjas 100 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 1: tried to hold onto the chicks as they climbed and 101 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 1: squeezed their way through the vents. 102 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,239 Speaker 3: Hey stop it, come back here. 103 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 1: They tried, whispering as the chicks leapt out of their 104 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 1: hands and tried to scurry down the vents. Every time 105 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: they seemed to catch one another one popped out. Steve 106 00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,479 Speaker 1: was trying to hold onto his three baby chicks, and 107 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,480 Speaker 1: kept failing good baker. 108 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 2: No, not on my head, hey like, oh, my nose plug, 109 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 2: that's mine. 110 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 1: He grabbed at the chick that was curly escaping when 111 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 1: it pecked his finger. 112 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 4: Oh, he cried, what, Steve, We're all else there? 113 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 3: Hey step in? 114 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 4: How back here, you fluffy little terrible burn Hey, get. 115 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 3: Out of my sleeve. 116 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 1: Meanwhile, down below, Sonny and Body followed the chicks chirping 117 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 1: and loud whispers of the ninjas all the way to 118 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 1: the cafeteria. They saw the ceiling grate on the other 119 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 1: side of the room and ran ahead. Hurry, come on, 120 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 1: let's set up a trap before they come out. Sonny 121 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 1: whispered to Body, Body nodded and took off. He looked 122 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 1: around at the lunchline. Yes, it's baits to day. Then 123 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 1: he saw a tub of chocolate pudding ready to be 124 00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: scooped for dessert. He slid it out and put it 125 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 1: under the grate, and he dumped it all over the floor. 126 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 1: What in the world are they doing making such a 127 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 1: giant mess? Is this a part of their plan to 128 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 1: stop the Purple Ninjas. Sonny spotted a mop bucket full 129 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 1: of soapy water and added it to the messy floor. 130 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 1: Now there was slippery slope and sloppy pudding, just waiting 131 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 1: for the Purple Ninjas to Oh, I see what's gonna happen. 132 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:32,319 Speaker 1: Satisfied with the trap, Body and Sonny hid over by 133 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:36,720 Speaker 1: the kitchen entrance for the finishing touch. Sonny placed a 134 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:40,080 Speaker 1: bowl of bird seed by their hiding spot. Then they 135 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: heard the crashing sound of the ceiling grate falling on 136 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 1: the cafeteria floor. Here they come, Sonny whispered to Body. 137 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 1: The Purple Ninjas began to pop their heads out from 138 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 1: the ceiling. All right, coast is clear. However, he did 139 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 1: not look down as the Purple Ninjas popped out of 140 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:01,840 Speaker 1: the ceiling. 141 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 2: Woo. 142 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 1: They did not realize their air before it was too late. 143 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:10,959 Speaker 3: Ahem it. 144 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:18,600 Speaker 1: Both Purple Ninjas landed in the slippery, slobby puddle of pudding, 145 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 1: sliding across the floor in different directions. They dropped the 146 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 1: baby chicks as they tried to stop their slipping. 147 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 3: Jeep jeep jeep. 148 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 1: Baby chicks started away from the Purple Ninjas and made 149 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,840 Speaker 1: their way over to Sonny and Body, where they happily 150 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 1: pecked at that bird seed.
