Well, friends, are 13 00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 1: you ready for today's adventure? Me too, Let's go. Ella 14 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:02,320 Speaker 1: and Mason walked into there for Strayed classroom on Monday morning, 15 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 1: expecting to see miss williams smiling face. Instead, she was 16 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:13,759 Speaker 1: standing at the board writing intently. Ella and Mason thought 17 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:17,919 Speaker 1: this was strange, but they sat down at their table 18 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,479 Speaker 1: and waited for their friends to show up. Miss Williams 19 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:26,120 Speaker 1: didn't turn around until everyone was seated. When the students 20 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:32,040 Speaker 1: saw her face, they gasped, do you know how to gasp? 21 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:42,120 Speaker 1: That's as long as I can gasp her usual smiling 22 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 1: face was green. Dun dun dune. The colorful headband they 23 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: expected to see was missing, were replaced by what looked 24 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 1: like two bouncing, round lollipops sticking out of her black hair. Um, 25 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 1: Miss Williams, are you feeling okay? You look a little 26 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 1: uh green, asked Mason. Miss Williams made a strange, squeaky 27 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 1: noise as the lollipops began bouncing faster above her head. 28 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 1: When she spoke, her voice sounded different. I am fine. 29 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:31,959 Speaker 1: Let's practice spelling. Miss Williams stepped aside so the class 30 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 1: could see the board where the words for this spelling 31 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:40,640 Speaker 1: test were usually written, was now a bunch of gibberish 32 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 1: squiggly lines, shapes, and little drawings were there instead. She 33 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 1: pointed at the first word and called on Ella. Young 34 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 1: human in the purple chair read the first word. Ella 35 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 1: looked at the nonsense on the board and tried her best. 36 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 1: Hm squiggle, triangle, tiny sail boot green. Miss Williams frowned, No, 37 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 1: the correct word is invade, as in aliens have invaded 38 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:23,360 Speaker 1: first grade, prepare to be taken to outer space. The 39 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 1: eyes of everyone in the classroom grew wide. Ella and 40 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 1: Mason looked at each other. I knew Miss Williams looked 41 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 1: funny this morning, whispered Mason. Ella nodded her head in agreement, 42 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 1: then yelled run. Ella, Mason, and all of their classmates 43 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 1: ran for the door. Luckily, alien Miss Williams didn't seem 44 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 1: to be used to her human legs yet, so she 45 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 1: moved very slowly and tripped over everything. They burst into 46 00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 1: the first grade hallway. Ella started running across the hall 47 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 1: and shouted to Miss Warden's classroom. She and Mason were 48 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 1: the first to the door and pushed their way inside. 49 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 1: Miss Warden was standing in front of the class holding 50 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:16,279 Speaker 1: a book about outer space. Everything looked normal until she 51 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:22,719 Speaker 1: turned towards them. Miss Warden's skin was green too. She 52 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:27,559 Speaker 1: was holding the book with two hands while another hand 53 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 1: was waving to them. Hello, you bed students, want to 54 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: learn about your new planet before we leave. Ah, they screamed, 55 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:42,839 Speaker 1: before running out of the classroom. There were now even 56 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 1: more students running through the hallways as Miss Warden's students 57 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:52,480 Speaker 1: escape with them. There was only one more first grade 58 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 1: classroom left. We have to check mister Jim's room, Mason 59 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 1: said to Ella. They ran towards their into the hallway 60 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 1: where mister Jim's classroom door was. Ella looked at Mason, 61 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:08,039 Speaker 1: okay pull on the count of three, one, two, three, 62 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 1: They burst into the room to find the students' crafting 63 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:18,280 Speaker 1: space helmets out of boxes, markers, and glue. A green 64 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 1: Mister Jim was standing up in front demonstrating how to 65 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 1: put them on their heads. Be careful not to pitch 66 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: your antenna as you lower them over your hair, he 67 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 1: told them as he carefully placed the box helmets over 68 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:41,480 Speaker 1: his three spiraled Antennas run, Mason shouted to the students 69 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: in the classroom. They all looked at him wide eyed 70 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 1: and ran into the hallway after them. Stop. Wait, you 71 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:55,039 Speaker 1: must wear your helmets on the space ship, shouted Alien 72 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 1: mister Jim behind them. Now all of the first grade 73 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 1: students were running around the hallway and it was crowded. 74 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,280 Speaker 1: No one was sure what to do next. They were 75 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:09,160 Speaker 1: afraid to check any other hallways in case there were 76 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 1: even more Alien teachers or they accidentally ran towards the spaceship. 77 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,599 Speaker 1: No one wanted to accidentally send themselves to outer space today. 78 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 1: As Mason and Ella tried to come up with a plan, 79 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 1: Alien miss Williams made it out into the hallway. There 80 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 1: you are troublemakers. She raised a green finger at Ella 81 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:38,920 Speaker 1: and Mason. Let's get you on the ship first. Uh no, 82 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 1: no no. Ella and Mason turned to run, but they 83 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,599 Speaker 1: were nearing the end of the hallway. What do we do? 84 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 1: Where do we go? They looked up and down the hallway. 85 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 1: There were kids everywhere, but the alien teacher was only 86 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: focused on them. She walked slow as a slug down 87 00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 1: the hallway towards them. A green hand was appearing from 88 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: Miss Warden's doorway. Now too soon, Alien mister Jim would 89 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 1: join and be after them as well. Oh dear, what 90 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 1: do you think's gonna happen? But there was one door 91 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 1: that was still closed, the custodian's closet. Maybe there's something 92 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 1: in there we can use against them, said Mason. He 93 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 1: pulled the door open with all of his strength, as 94 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 1: alien Miss Warden shouted no, don't go in there. Inside 95 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 1: there were real first grade teachers, the real ones. A 96 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 1: purple blob stuck to each of their foreheads, and they 97 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 1: were all asleep. Ella put on a pair of gloves 98 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 1: from the box on the shelf and reached for the 99 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 1: blob on mister Jim's head. It made a very loud 100 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 1: suction noise as it popped off, and then mister Jim 101 00:07:55,040 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 1: woke up immediately. Where are they? Ella pointed to the 102 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 1: hallway behind them. Okay, great, uh, take those blobs off 103 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 1: the rest of the teachers. Just don't let them touch 104 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 1: your skin, mister Jim instructed them, and pointing to the 105 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 1: rest of the purple blobs, then he ran out into 106 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 1: the hallway with the battle cry. Ella pulled the purple 107 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 1: blobs off Miss Williams and Miss Warden. They both woke 108 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 1: up as determined as mister Jim and ran out into 109 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 1: the hallway after them. Ella and Mason followed them and 110 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,959 Speaker 1: saw mister Jim already had his alien impostor wrapped up 111 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:41,199 Speaker 1: in duct tape. Let me out at laying, these are 112 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 1: my human students. Mister Jim tossed more rolls of tape 113 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 1: to the other teachers and said, not today, Alien Impostor. 114 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 1: The two free alien teachers tried to turn and run away, 115 00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:00,119 Speaker 1: but they were much too slow. The real Miss Williams 116 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:04,560 Speaker 1: and Miss Warden had them taped in no time. Then 117 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 1: Ello walked up and placed the purple blobs on each 118 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: of their alien heads. Good night, alien teachers. That students 119 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 1: all helped carry the aliens outside of the playground. They 120 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 1: shrieked in amazement at the tall black spaceship park next 121 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:24,080 Speaker 1: to the swings. The real first grade teachers put the 122 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 1: alien teachers inside, shutting the door behind them, blasting them 123 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 1: off to space. Wow, this may be the end of 124 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:44,320 Speaker 1: our story, and hopefully it's the end of any kind 125 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 1: of aliens taking over their school ever again the end. 126 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 1: Great job, you listened all the way to the end, 127 00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,320 Speaker 1: and you know what time it is.
