Me too, 12 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 1: Let's go. Today was the big day, the big day. 13 00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:49,040 Speaker 1: We're Winnie and Madeline. We're competing with their gymnastics team 14 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:54,600 Speaker 1: at the regional championships. Holy smokes, this was a day 15 00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 1: that they had been preparing for all year long. Have 16 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 1: you ever worked towards something for a long time, like 17 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 1: maybe you're preparing for a piano recital or a really 18 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 1: big competition. Yeah, well that's exactly what Winnie and Madeline 19 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,680 Speaker 1: were doing. They had been preparing and practicing all their 20 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,560 Speaker 1: moves for a very long time. You should have seen 21 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 1: them flipping and flopping around, not only on the floor, 22 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:30,399 Speaker 1: but flying through the air. They they were the real spies. 23 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:35,039 Speaker 1: You see, gymnasts always have a big advantage. Like when 24 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 1: gymnasts go to spy camp and start to learn how 25 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 1: to be a spy, they pretty much already know all 26 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 1: of the moves that we teach spies. In Winni and Madeline, 27 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 1: they were so good they have even been a teacher 28 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 1: of spies. Do you think you could be that good 29 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 1: of a spy one day to be a teacher of 30 00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 1: spies like Winnie and Madeline. Well, during the competition, Winnie 31 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 1: and Madaline both did very well. You see, there's a 32 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:09,360 Speaker 1: lot of different events to gymnastics, and there's a lot 33 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 1: of different things that you have to be good at 34 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 1: in order to win a medal. Well, thankfully they're both 35 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 1: very good and they both won medals for different events. 36 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 1: And when you win in gymnastics, then they call your 37 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 1: name and you go stand on a podium that's a 38 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 1: really special place where everyone claps in tears as you 39 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 1: receive your very special medal. But unfortunately, something was about 40 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 1: to go terribly wrong for Madeline. The announcers started to 41 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,640 Speaker 1: call the winners up for the floor of routine and 42 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:53,919 Speaker 1: please everyone clap for Medaline. Wooooo. The whole audience started 43 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: to cheer. Winnie was taking pictures with her camera. Go Medaline, 44 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 1: shouted Winnie. As Madeleine stepped up to receive her metal. 45 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 1: This is where things got pretty complicated. As they put 46 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 1: the metal around Madeleine's neck, something crazy happened. Whoa h 47 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: what kind of metal is this? Whoa? Instantly Madeline started 48 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 1: to float through the air. That metal had something not 49 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,799 Speaker 1: right with it, or maybe it was super fun. I 50 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 1: would kind of like to float through this guy, it's 51 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: kind of like flying. Well, Madeleine was not able to 52 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 1: control it. I'm talking about those metals that gymnasts win, 53 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 1: you know, they might be gold or silver or bronze. 54 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 1: There there like a necklace with a big heavy piece 55 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 1: of metal that dangles at the bottom. Well, that piece 56 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 1: of metal is some kind of flying metal and no 57 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 1: one was expecting this. As Madeline was lifted off the 58 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 1: ground and started to float through the sky all the 59 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: way to the ceiling, that he realized something absolutely terrible. 60 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 1: Earlier in the day, somebody had opened a window up 61 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 1: on the ceiling to let in more light, and there 62 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 1: goes Madeline through the window. Uh. Oh. The entire stadium 63 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 1: started to panic. Everyone was losing control of their emotions, 64 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,719 Speaker 1: except for Winnie. She knew how to choose to be 65 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: brave and stay focused. While everyone was panicking, Winnie ran 66 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 1: out the door and started following Madeline. Madelene shouted, Winnie, 67 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,159 Speaker 1: I'm gonna stay with you. We're gonna figure this out. 68 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 1: Don't worry. Okay, shouted Madeline back. As she was dangling 69 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 1: from high above. She was almost to the clouds, that's 70 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:55,160 Speaker 1: how fast she was flying up. Winnie jumped on her 71 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 1: bike and started riding as fast as she could. Thankfully, 72 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 1: she had her spo gear pack on her bike that 73 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,599 Speaker 1: was already waiting for her. You see, every good spy 74 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:09,719 Speaker 1: has to be ready for any kind of situation or emergency. 75 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 1: Just like if your best friend starts flying towards the moon, 76 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 1: you're gonna be ready, and Winnie was ready. As she 77 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:22,279 Speaker 1: was riding her bike, she started heading towards a giant hill. 78 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,280 Speaker 1: This hill would be great at bringing her higher and 79 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 1: higher up towards the clouds, but she had to get 80 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 1: there quickly in order to save Madeline before she sailed 81 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 1: off completely to the moon. Because that would not be good. 82 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,359 Speaker 1: You should have seen how fast Winnie could ride her bike. 83 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 1: She had these really cool lights. They were green and 84 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 1: there was a purple one that was on her the 85 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 1: wheels of her bike, and the faster she would pedal, 86 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 1: the brighter they would glow. And she was pedaling so 87 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:03,720 Speaker 1: fast that they were glowing very brightly. She was approaching 88 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 1: the top of the hill. I don't know how she 89 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,920 Speaker 1: got there so quickly, but there she was. She could 90 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:15,719 Speaker 1: see Madeleine now at eye level. Because Winnie had gotten 91 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 1: so high up, she was now just as high as Madeleine, 92 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 1: but Madeleine's medal, her floating metal was trying to make 93 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 1: her go even higher. Madeleine, I'm gonna throw you a 94 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 1: rope and I need you to grab on to it. Okay, 95 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 1: shouted Winnie. Okay, How'll do my best, shouted Madeline back. 96 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:43,800 Speaker 1: Winnie held the rope out like a cowgirl as she 97 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:49,719 Speaker 1: swung the rope over her head. Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh. The 98 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 1: sound of the rope could be heard for miles. Winnie 99 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:57,719 Speaker 1: didn't know, but she had gathered quite an audience. All 100 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,799 Speaker 1: the people that were inside of that Genie Bassix arena 101 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:05,600 Speaker 1: had come running outside because they were afraid of Madeleine 102 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 1: flying away, but as they saw Winnie reach to the 103 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 1: top of this nearby hill, they all stood in amazement 104 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: watching Winnie as she threw the rope out towards Madeleine. 105 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 1: Madeleine was able to reach out and grab it with 106 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 1: her left hand. Hold on. I'm gonna pull you in, 107 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 1: shouted Winnie. As she pulled the rope. Madeleine was pulled 108 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 1: closer and closer. The metal around her neck wanted to 109 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 1: pull her all the way to the moon, but Winnie 110 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 1: was too strong for that. Woooooooo. The crowd cheered as 111 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 1: Winnie pulled Madeline all the way back to the top 112 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 1: of the hill. As Madeleine's feet rested back on the grass, 113 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 1: Winnie gave her a big, giant hug and helped her 114 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 1: take that floating metal off of her. They tied the 115 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: rope on to that metal and tied the rope onto 116 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 1: a tree. As the metal tried with all of its 117 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 1: might to fly up to the moon, he realized, Wait 118 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 1: a second, what if we just let the metal go, 119 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 1: said Madeline. It seems to want to get to the moon. 120 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:22,560 Speaker 1: I don't know why. Winnie agreed, Yeah, maybe that's where 121 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 1: the metal is from. She said, all right, well, let's 122 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 1: just let the metal go and see where it flies off. 123 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 1: To the rest of the evening, Winnie and Madeleine sat 124 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 1: on that hill watching as her medal flew all the 125 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 1: way back to the moon. It was quite the mystery 126 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 1: that day of why that medal so desperately wanted to 127 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,959 Speaker 1: get back to the moon, but obviously nothing was gonna 128 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:54,080 Speaker 1: get in its way, even a gymnast named Madeleine. What 129 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 1: a crazy story. I'm so glad that Winnie was able 130 00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 1: to save Madeline before that wild metal flew all the 131 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,200 Speaker 1: way back to the moon. Why didn't need to go 132 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:07,079 Speaker 1: back to the moon. I don't know, but something tells 133 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 1: me that is the story of another adventure the end. 134 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 1: Great job, you listened all the way to the end, 135 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 1: and you know what time it is.
