11
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 1: Lively Lewis story. The words ring in Levi and Ivy's

12
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: ears as they sat in the backyard of their house

13
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 1: on Acre's Court. Kids were moving, but even though they

14
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: had days to process the news, every time the subject

15
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 1: was brought up, it was like they were hearing it

16
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 1: for the first time. The thought of leaving everything they

17
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: knew behind for a brand new place with brand new peace,

18
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 1: people and brand new experiences made them sad and nervous.

19
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: I mean, where are we gonna get ice cream in

20
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: this new town? Asked Ivy, dragging her feet on the

21
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: grass under the tire swing as she swayed back and forth.

22
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 1: Will there be a playground near our house? Would have

23
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: a cool tube slide? Would have a slide at all?

24
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: Levi just sat on the edge of the picnic table,

25
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 1: swinging his legs back and forth and allowing Ivy to

26
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:31,320
Speaker 1: express herself. She was feeling a lot of feelings right then, sad, mad, nervous,

27
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: and confused and Leevi. I knew it was important to

28
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: just let her get it all out. Will we make

29
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: new friends? What will our new school be like? And

30
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: what are we gonna do with our treehouse? Ivy said,

31
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: with a big sigh. I can't believe we have to

32
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: leave our treehouse behind. Why do we have to move anyway?

33
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 1: Ivy hopped off the tire swing and walked over to

34
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: the treehouse ladder. I want to go up and have

35
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: one last hangout in the treehouse before we leave tomorrow,

36
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: she asked her brother, fighting back tears. Of course, Ivy

37
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: said Lee by, trying to stay as positive as possible

38
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: for his little sister. I know you're feeling upset right now,

39
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: but it won't always be that way. We'll never forget

40
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 1: this house, this town, our friends, or the amazing memories

41
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: we've made here. We're making the move to support mom

42
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: and the great new job she got, and no matter what,

43
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: we will always have each other. I've got your back,

44
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: no matter if we move to another town or to mars.

45
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:33,959
Speaker 1: Ivee gave a little smirk as she continued up the

46
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: treehouse ladder. But what about our treehouse, Leeviy. We worked

47
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: so hard on this. Remember that summer we built it

48
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 1: with Dad every day, even when it was raining. It

49
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 1: was the best summer ever. And now we just have

50
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 1: to leave it behind. It's not fair, potted ivy ivy.

51
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: We have to leave the actual treehouse behind, but we

52
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: don't have to leave the memories began, LEVI. Do you

53
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: remember when we had our first sleepover up here and

54
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: we saw those bats flying through the branches. Remember the

55
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: big water balloon party we had. This was the perfect

56
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: place to hide and drop balloons on our friends. Remember

57
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: how we would sit up here on rainy days and

58
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 1: talk about all the amazing adventures we wanted to go on.

59
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: Or how Dad put up the tire swing for us

60
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 1: as a surprise one weekend, Or how about our cool

61
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: treehouse handshake that only you and I know? Yep, and

62
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 1: we can never do any of that ever again, said Ivy,

63
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: looking like she was about to cry. But aren't you

64
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: happy that we got to do it, asked LEVI. Isn't

65
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: it better to have had all the fun and the

66
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: memories that go along with it than to have never

67
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: experienced any of it at all? Ivy looked at her

68
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: brother and shrugged her shoulders. I know those memories just

69
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: make you sad because you want to make more of them,

70
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: But I promise you that someday they'll make you smile,

71
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: said LEVI. And guess what. The new town we're moving

72
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: to has tons of memories just waiting for us, and

73
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: I wouldn't want to find out what they are with

74
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: anyone else. Ivy smiled for real this time and gave

75
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: her brother a big hug. She reached out her hand

76
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: and they did their secret handshake together, both remembering all

77
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 1: the good memories they had created there together. Thank you, Levi,

78
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: Ivy said, wiping away her tears. How about we make

79
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: one last memory in our awesome treehouse and asked Mom

80
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 1: and dad if they want to have one final farewell

81
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: sleepover up here tonight. I think that's a godreat idea,

82
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: said Levi as he and Ivy climbed down the ladder

83
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: to ask their parents. Levi and Ivy's parents knew how

84
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 1: much their kids loved their home and what a big

85
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: deal their move was. When they were asked about the

86
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,840
Speaker 1: treehouse sleepover, they thought it sounded like a great idea.

87
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 1: They loaded up some snacks, sleeping bags, and a few

88
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: flashlights and headed up the treehouse ladder one last time.

89
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 1: They talked and laughed all night, reminiscing about all the

90
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: great times they had in their house, their neighborhood, and

91
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: of course, their treehouse. They talked about their new house

92
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 1: as well, and how much fun they were going to

93
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 1: have in their new town. You two have such great personalities,

94
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: you'll have tons of new friends in no time, said

95
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: their dad reassuringly. And I've already talked to the parents

96
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: of your good friends here, and we'll plan day trips

97
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: so you can meet up and see them as much

98
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: as possible, added their mom. And you can call an

99
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: email all the time. We'll make sure you stay in touch.

100
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: Levi and Ivy knew this move was a big change

101
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 1: for their parents as well, and were very thankful that

102
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: they were trying so hard to make it as easy

103
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: as possible for them. Thank you, Mom and dad, said Levi.

104
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: It'll be different, but different can be fun. I'm excited

105
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: to see what this new town is all about. I'm

106
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: excited to see what this town's playground looks like. And

107
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: if their ice cream shop has double chocolate chocolate chip

108
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: ice cream, added Ivy. But what if they have another

109
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,799
Speaker 1: ice cream flavor that we've never heard of before and

110
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: it's even better than the chocolate chocolate chip, asked Levine

111
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 1: Ivy's dad, who seemed even more excited than his kids

112
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: about that possibility. No matter what ice cream flavors they have,

113
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:04,840
Speaker 1: I wouldn't want to try them with any other group

114
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 1: besides you, said Ivy, and Levi's mom, wiping a tear

115
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 1: from her cheek. Well, was not spend our last night

116
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: in the treehouse crying over tasty ice cream, joked Levi

117
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: and Ivy's dad. Let's play a game of charades, and

118
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: in no time at all, Levi, Ivy and their parents

119
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: were laughing and playing games late into the night, making

120
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 1: one more amazing memory in their treehouse before they left

121
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: for their new house the next day. The next morning

122
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: was difficult for everyone as they said see you soon

123
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: to friends and neighbors before jumping into their card, heading

124
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: off towards their new house and new memories. But before

125
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: they left, Levi and Ivy ran back to their treehouse

126
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: and removed a small wooden board that sat just above

127
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 1: the treehouse door. It had their names on it and

128
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: the date they finished the treehouse. They had to bring

129
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: something along with them that was part of the treehouse,

130
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,479
Speaker 1: and this felt like the perfect thing. They each swung

131
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: on their favorite tire swing one last time, and before

132
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: they knew it, they were driving away from their house

133
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 1: for the last time. After driving for a few hours,

134
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: they finally arrived at their new house. The neighborhood looked

135
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: similar to their old neighborhood, but different in just enough

136
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 1: ways that it didn't feel like home, at least not yet.

137
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: Their new house was big and beautiful, with a nice

138
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: backyard and a garden filled with flowers. However, there were

139
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: no trees big enough for a tree house, and that

140
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: was the first thing Levi and Ivy noticed. Don't be sad,

141
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: Ivy said Levi. Maybe we can build a clubhouse with

142
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: dad out here, or even something cooler. Nothing will ever

143
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 1: be as cool as our tree house, said Ivy as

144
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: she slowly walked into the house. Levi followed behind her,

145
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: and their parents showed them their new rooms. They were

146
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: a bit bigger than their old rooms, with great big

147
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: windows and tall ceilings. However, at this moment they would

148
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: have taken their smaller bedrooms over these in a second.

149
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: Levi tried his best to make Ivy s the good

150
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: in their new situation, but expectedly, she was still not

151
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: excited to be there. The day went by quickly, and

152
00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: after a dinner of pizza is sitting on cardboard boxes

153
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 1: and an empty living room, Levi and Ivy headed up

154
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 1: to bed. LEVI do you mind if I sleep in

155
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: your room tonight, asked Ivy as she stood in Levi's doorway.

156
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 1: Sure thing, replied Levi. You can take the bed and

157
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 1: I'll sleep on the floor in my sleeping bag. As

158
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: he unrolled his sleeping bag, a leaf fell out of it,

159
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: an oak leaf from the big tree in the backyard

160
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: at their old house, their treehouse tree. Ivy saw it

161
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: and picked it up, looking at it closely. It must

162
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 1: have gotten rolled up in my sleeping bag when I

163
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 1: was cleaning up from our treehouse sleepover last night, said Levi,

164
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: taking the leaf from Ivy's hand. He could have never

165
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 1: imagined the feeling that he would get from simply looking

166
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: at one little oak leaf. But all of a sudden,

167
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: Levi just sat down his bed, looking rather sad. It

168
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 1: was the first time he had let his true emotions

169
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 1: show since they were told they were going to move.

170
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 1: He wanted to be strung for Ivy, but it didn't

171
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 1: take Ivy long to see that at that moment, she

172
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 1: had to be strong for Levi. LEVI, don't be upset,

173
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:58,959
Speaker 1: said Ivy. At least we have a little bit of

174
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 1: our old backyard with us at this new house. You're right,

175
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,319
Speaker 1: said Levi, holding back tears. I'll just put it over

176
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: here on my desk. I wouldn't want to lose it.

177
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 1: Are you tired? Levi asked Ivy, trying to change the

178
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: subject and hopefully her brother's mood. Not really, replied Levi,

179
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: staring out the window. How about we go and explore

180
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 1: the house a little bit. It's much bigger than our

181
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 1: old house, and I bet we'll find something cool in

182
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 1: here if we look, suggested Ivy. That's fine with me,

183
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 1: said Levi. I need something to take my mind off

184
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 1: the move. Anyway, So while Levi and Ivy's parents left,

185
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: they made their way around the house from room to room.

186
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 1: After searching around for a little bit, they discovered a

187
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 1: small door at the end of a hallway upstairs. It

188
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 1: was smaller than a regular sized door and seemed a

189
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 1: bit out of place. They carefully opened the door and

190
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 1: saw that just behind it was a set of narrow stairs.

191
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: Levi and Ivy looked at each other for only a

192
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 1: second before deciding to go take a look at what

193
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: was at the top of the stairs. They saw lights

194
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: off to the side of the door and flipped it on.

195
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: The light illuminated the stairs, and off they went. At

196
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: the very top, they were pleasantly surprised to find a

197
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: small attic space. WHOA, this is so cool, exclaimed Ivy.

198
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: It's about the size of a treehouse, said Levi. Definitely,

199
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 1: It kind of reminds me of it too, said Ivy,

200
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 1: looking around. It only took a few seconds of standing

201
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: there before Levi and his sister had the same idea.

202
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,199
Speaker 1: We should make this our new hangout spot, they both

203
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 1: said at the same time. Excited that they both had

204
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: the same thought, Levi and Ivy headed back to Levi's

205
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: room to sketch out what their new attic space would

206
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: look like. The very next day, as their parents were

207
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 1: unpacking and setting up the house, Levi and Ivy were

208
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 1: hard at work in the attic. Just be careful up there,

209
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 1: called out Levi and Ivy's mom as they ran up

210
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,679
Speaker 1: the stairs. She was so excited that they had found

211
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 1: something in the new space that made them happy and

212
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: couldn't wait to see what they would do with the space.

213
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 1: Just let me know if you need any help, called

214
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: out their dad. Thanks mom, Thanks dad, called out Levi

215
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 1: and Ivy as they set off to work. They used

216
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 1: a little paint, some fun posters, and a couple of

217
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 1: bean bags that they had brought from their old treehouse

218
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: to brighten up the attic's space and make it comfortable.

219
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 1: They added a little table, some books, and a few

220
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 1: of their favorite games. By lunchtime, it was looking great

221
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 1: and they couldn't wait to show their parents. They were

222
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 1: so impressed with all the work their kids had done.

223
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: They were even more excited to see the smiles on

224
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:28,319
Speaker 1: their faces. We know it's not our old tree house,

225
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 1: but it doesn't have to be, said Levi. It's a

226
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 1: new place for us to make great memories, share fun stories,

227
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 1: and have good times. But we'll never forget the memories

228
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 1: we made back at their old house. Levi then pointed

229
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: just above the door to the attic space. There he

230
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 1: and Ivy had written their names and the date they

231
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: created their new hangout space. But right above it was

232
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 1: the piece of wood they had taken from their old

233
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 1: tree house. By putting them together, they had seamlessly blended

234
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 1: the past and the present, and we're now looking forward

235
00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 1: to a bright future. We'll never forget our tree house,

236
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 1: said Ivy, But now we'll get to add new memories

237
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,440
Speaker 1: from this place to the great memories we already have.

238
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: I can't wait. Ivy looked at her brother and gave

239
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 1: him a big smile before telling him that she had

240
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 1: a surprise for him. Levi held out his hand and

241
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: Ivy gave him a small picture frame. When he looked

242
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,839
Speaker 1: down at it, he nearly cried, but instead a huge

243
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,959
Speaker 1: smile spread across his face. It's the oak leaf from

244
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:26,680
Speaker 1: the treehouse tree, said Levi. Thank you so much, Ivy.

245
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 1: Even though we're not in a tree, we're still up

246
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: in the treetops, said Ivy, looking out over the small

247
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 1: attic window at the top of several large trees in

248
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 1: their neighborhood. And no matter where our hangout spot is,

249
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 1: we will always have each other. You're definitely right, Ivy.

250
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: How about we make our first new memory and have

251
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 1: an attic sleepover tonight, suggested Levi. We think that sounds

252
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: like a great idea, replied Levi and Ivy's mom and

253
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:54,079
Speaker 1: dad as they turned to head back downstairs to get

254
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,559
Speaker 1: some pillows and sleeping bags. Ivy asked Levi if he

255
00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: wanted to do their secret treehouse handshake. Maybe we should

256
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,839
Speaker 1: make a new one, said Levi. You know, since we're

257
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 1: not in the treehouse anymore. Nope, Ivy said quickly, No

258
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 1: matter where we are, it's still our special handshake. Here

259
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 1: right again, smiled Levi as they did their special handshake.

260
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 1: After that, they found the perfect place for the framed

261
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 1: leaf on the wall of their new attic space before

262
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 1: heading downstairs, and each day after that got better and better.

263
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 1: As the days and weeks went on, Levi and Ivy

264
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 1: met the neighbors and made lots of new friends. The

265
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 1: new playground in town had great slides, the school had

266
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 1: great teachers, and the ice cream shop had an ice

267
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 1: cream flavor even better than chocolate chocolate chip. They were

268
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 1: slowly adjusting to their new life one day at a time,

269
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,680
Speaker 1: and even though they liked it, they never forgot about

270
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 1: their old house, their old friends, or their old tree house.

271
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: They visited their friends often and had them over to

272
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 1: visit as well, blending the old and the new, just

273
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 1: like they had done in their fun attic space. Each

274
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 1: day they created new memories, realizing that it's not where

275
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 1: you are, but who here with that truly matters. Thanks
