Here comes shouted Autumn as she 14 00:00:56,400 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 1: threw a frisbee right to her friend Delaney. Yeah, I 15 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:06,399 Speaker 1: got it. Wow, great catch, Delaney said Autumn. Here it comes. 16 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:11,400 Speaker 1: Delaney was throwing it back. They were playing frisbee outside 17 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:16,120 Speaker 1: at a park, and they were surrounded by some beautiful trees, 18 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,199 Speaker 1: and it was a beautiful day and they were having 19 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 1: a lot of fun, well until something terrible happened. Here 20 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,959 Speaker 1: it comes, Autumn, shouted Delaney. She threw the frisbee as 21 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:30,759 Speaker 1: hard as she could to make it all the way 22 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 1: to Autumn, and a big gust of wind came by 23 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:40,840 Speaker 1: and blew the frisbee right into a tree. Oh no, 24 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 1: shouted Delaney and Autumn at the same time. Hmm, how 25 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 1: are we gonna get it? It's way up there. The 26 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:53,559 Speaker 1: frisbee had landed on some branches, high up in a tree. 27 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 1: But don't worry, Autumn and Delaney, we're both excellent tree 28 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 1: climbers them. Let's just climb it, and let's grab it. 29 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 1: I bet we could do it if we work together. Okay. 30 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 1: Autumn and Delaney both worked together to climb up the tree. 31 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: It was pretty high, but they were very brave. All right, 32 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 1: I can almost reach it there. Autumn reached out and 33 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 1: grabbed onto it. Delaney said, wait, hold on, what is that? 34 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: Delaney was pointing to some very sparkly looking something. I 35 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 1: don't know, said Autumn. They reached their hands over and 36 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: it looked like a big pile of glitter that had 37 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,800 Speaker 1: been poured in this little crevice of the tree branch. 38 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 1: It definitely looked like someone put this here. As Autumn 39 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 1: Delaney both touched the glitter, something crazy happened. WHOA did 40 00:02:54,200 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 1: you feel that? Whoa? It just my who, I feel 41 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 1: like I'm breathing differently and a tingly all over. Did 42 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: you touch that? What was that sound? Autumn and Delaney 43 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 1: both heard a sound, a strange sound. Don't touch that. Um, 44 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 1: who's there? Said Delaney, A small of a ferry. Autumn 45 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 1: and Delaney couldn't believe their eyes. There was a little 46 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 1: fairy that was flying right over them and he she 47 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 1: came down and landed right over that glitter, and she said, 48 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 1: this looks fairy pattern. Looks what keeps is very small. 49 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 1: And it looks like you're starting to shrink. Autumn and Delaney, 50 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 1: we're starting to shrink, like they were getting smaller and smaller. 51 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 1: The fairy then told them that this glitter was some 52 00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 1: kind of magical fairy glitter and that's what keeps them small. 53 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: And oh the floor don't get fixed by mgmalt. You're 54 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 1: gonna charge and were farrel forever a fairy forever, said Autumn. 55 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:23,720 Speaker 1: That sounds awesome. Autumn, are you sure about that? Said Delaney. Yeah, 56 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: I've always wanted to be a fairy and it can 57 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: finally happen for real. Look. Autumn looked down at her 58 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,840 Speaker 1: fingers in her hands, and they were starting to shrink, 59 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 1: getting smaller and smaller with every breath she took. Uh, yeah, Autumn, 60 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: that sounds great. No, but you do realize that it's 61 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:46,279 Speaker 1: a forever thing that fairy just said, and I kind 62 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,719 Speaker 1: of want to just be a person. Oh, you're right, 63 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 1: forever is a long time, said Autumn. All right, Fairy, 64 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 1: what do we do? We need to fix this. We 65 00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 1: don't want to become fairies. That's what I think. That's 66 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 1: where I was trying to stop me. But we're we're 67 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 1: gonna have to find the mud mud chrysanthemum, the midnight 68 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 1: what from chrysanthemum? That some magical flower on fairy album. 69 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 1: The Fairy started to tell Autumn and Delaney about this 70 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 1: fairy island that they had heard legends about but didn't 71 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 1: know it was a real place. But on this fairy 72 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,840 Speaker 1: island there's a mountain, and on the top of the 73 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 1: mountain there's a bush, a plant called the midnight chrysanthemum, 74 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 1: and it's some kind of magical flower that when you 75 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 1: touch it, I guess it stops you from turning into 76 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 1: a fairy. I'm lots of zackly. What you gotta do. 77 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:50,799 Speaker 1: Here's some wings and the fairy gave Autumn and Delaney wings. WHOA, 78 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 1: that's cool, Ottoman. Delaney tried out their wings, and sure enough, 79 00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 1: they worked beautifully. They could fly us like a real fairy. 80 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: It's a good thing they weren't shrunken down to fairy 81 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 1: size yet, but they were definitely headed in that direction 82 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 1: because at midnight tonight they're going to be turned into 83 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 1: a real fairy unless they find that Midnight Chrysanthemum. All right, Delaney, 84 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:24,160 Speaker 1: we gotta go like now, uh yeah, this is serious. Um, 85 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 1: all right, do you know which way is Fairy Island? Yeah? 86 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:36,480 Speaker 1: Autumn started thinking, um, yeah, I think it's west. Yeah, 87 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 1: let's go. Autumn and Delaney started flying west towards where 88 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,160 Speaker 1: the ocean was, and sure enough, there was a big 89 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 1: island off the coast that looks exactly like what the 90 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:54,919 Speaker 1: fairy said. As they arrived on the mountain of the island, 91 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,719 Speaker 1: they had to climb all the way up the mountain 92 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:05,840 Speaker 1: to find that planned. What was it called? Autumn said, huh. 93 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 1: Delaney was trying to think. She closed her eyes and 94 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 1: was poking her forehead trying to get it to remember. Um, 95 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 1: I think it's called the Midnight Midnight Chris Christopher. Oh 96 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 1: midnight midnight, uh Christmas tree, No chrysanthemum, that's it, Yes, 97 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 1: all right, we gotta find the midnight chrysanthemum. Let's go. 98 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 1: Autumn and Delaney kept hiking up the mountain, and at 99 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 1: the very top of the mountain they finally made it. 100 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 1: The sun was starting to set, the day was almost over, 101 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 1: and they were running out of time. They were now 102 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 1: the size of a squirrel. Oh no, Autumn, do you 103 00:07:55,840 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 1: think it's too late. We're getting really small. No, we 104 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 1: can't give up. We're almost there. The smaller they got, 105 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 1: the slower they were able to run, and they thought, okay, 106 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 1: let's just fly there instead. Their wings were fairy wings, 107 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 1: and they didn't go very fast, but it was a 108 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 1: little faster than walking, because when you're very very small, 109 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 1: you take very very small steps. Autumn Delaney made it 110 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 1: all the way to where the midnight chrysanthemum was. It 111 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 1: was a beautiful plant. It had purple flowers with this 112 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 1: white and yellow glow to it. It was very pretty. 113 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 1: But the sun was almost setting. It was almost nighttime, 114 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 1: which means they would be fairies forever. Quick, hurry, I 115 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 1: think we just gotta touch it. Autumn and Delaney stretched 116 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 1: out their hands towards the flower and touched onto one 117 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:59,440 Speaker 1: of the petals, and instantly they felt tingly again. Whoa, whoa, whoa, 118 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 1: and pretty soon they turned back into people. Yes we 119 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 1: did it, Delaney. O'm so glad to have my big 120 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:17,200 Speaker 1: feet again. Walking is gonna be so much faster. Autumn 121 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 1: and Delaney, now they had to figure out a way 122 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 1: to get back, but it's a good thing. They still 123 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 1: had their wings, so they were able to fly back 124 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 1: to the park where that magical tree was, and the 125 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,439 Speaker 1: fairy showed them how to turn off their wings. But 126 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 1: now I guess they have wings, so now there are 127 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 1: still people normal sized, not fairy sized, but Autumn and 128 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: Delaney can now fly like a fairy. The end. Great job, 129 00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,559 Speaker 1: you listened all the way to the end, and you 130 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 1: know I time it is. It's time for kid shout.
