13
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 1: Me too. Let's go. 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
