We do? 14 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 2: You? 15 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 3: Let go? Come on? 16 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:04,760 Speaker 1: Where are they? Olivia was carrying through her dresser's drawers 17 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,200 Speaker 1: looking for a pair of socks to wear. Her and 18 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 1: Charlie were going to the playground, but first she had 19 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,480 Speaker 1: to finish getting dressed. Last thing she needed was a 20 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:20,040 Speaker 1: fresh pair of socks. But olivia sock or was completely empty. 21 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,039 Speaker 1: She looked through the rest of her drawers, under her bed, 22 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 1: and even in her closet, no socks. She even checked 23 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 1: the dirty laundry basket. Who but good thing, not a 24 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 1: single sock a dirty sock to be found. Olivia darted 25 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 1: out of her room and to the washing machine, hoping 26 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,480 Speaker 1: that all of her socks were just in the wash. 27 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 1: But when Olivia turned the corner into the laundry room, 28 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 1: someone was already digging through the washing machine. Charlie, what 29 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 1: are you doing? Charlie was grumbling, clothes flying all around. 30 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 1: Oh I can't find any socks. I've looked everywhere. What 31 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:12,360 Speaker 1: a weird coincidence, thought Olivia. She told Charlie me too. 32 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: Charlie sighed, giving up. Well, none of your socks are 33 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 1: in here either. Come on, let's just go play at 34 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 1: the playground without socks. I guess you know, we'll just 35 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 1: have to wear our sneakers without them. Playing around on 36 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: the playground without socks, our feet and shoes are going 37 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 1: to stick, thought Olivia. But she really wanted to go 38 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: to the playground. What O their choices were there? All right, 39 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 1: said Olivia. Let's go. Charlie and Olivia put their shoes 40 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 1: on their bare feet and went to the playground. Have 41 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 1: you ever done that before? 42 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 3: Oh? 43 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,639 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what's gonna happen. When they arrived, Charlie 44 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,399 Speaker 1: and Olivia saw a bunch of other kids playing, but 45 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 1: they looked a bit uncomfortable too. Wait what Some were 46 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,800 Speaker 1: pulling at their shoes while others were covering their noses. 47 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 1: Charlie didn't blame them. The playground didn't have its usual smell. Instead, 48 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:20,800 Speaker 1: the scent of stinky feet was walting through the air. 49 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:26,639 Speaker 1: Oh gross, why does it smell so bad today, Charlie 50 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 1: asked their friend Santiago. Santiago pointed to his feet. He 51 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 1: had choes on, but no socks. Yeah, nobody could find 52 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: their socks this morning, so everybody had to wear their 53 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 1: shoes without them. It was true. Oh, this was what 54 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 1: I feared the worst. As Olivia and Charlie looked around, 55 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 1: they could see all the kid's shoes, but not a 56 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 1: single sock was poking out from any of them. What 57 00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 1: is going on, Olivia said. What the kids didn't know 58 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 1: was all of their socks. We're actually much closer than 59 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 1: they thought. High above the playground floated you know who 60 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: in the purple blimp, and it was stuffed to the 61 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 1: gills with socks and ninjas. A purple ninja was on 62 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,280 Speaker 1: the blimp phone with doctor Stinkybread. 63 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:27,279 Speaker 3: Yes, Buss, we just set the last machine to eat 64 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,479 Speaker 3: every sock that goes into the washer or dryer. We'll 65 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:36,040 Speaker 3: get eated by the machine. We collected every sock out 66 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 3: of the drawers and laundry baskets too, and bought all 67 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:41,840 Speaker 3: the socks in every store. 68 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,840 Speaker 2: The ninja said goodbye and hung up the phone. Are 69 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,279 Speaker 2: you sure, Buss, what of these sucks? Most of them 70 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:54,040 Speaker 2: are clean. Shouldn't we just steal the dirty woods? 71 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 1: No? 72 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 3: No, the socks aren't what the boss wants, big, bigger. 73 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:03,600 Speaker 3: Without sund everyone will have to wear their shoes barefoot. 74 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 3: Nikky got their feet and shoes stinky. It will be 75 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,480 Speaker 3: so sticky no one will be able to escape it 76 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 3: that the bots will finally be able to open his 77 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 3: windows and ah be greeted by the smell of stinky 78 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 3: feet of the morning. 79 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 1: The ninjas laughed evily. They laughed so hard one of 80 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 1: them fell over and knocked the door open. Uoh, said Steve. 81 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 1: Socks started blowing out of the blimp through the open 82 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 1: blimp door. Harple ninjas waved their arms wildly trying to 83 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 1: catch them. But socks, we're still escaping. A ninja dove 84 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 1: for the open door, trying to pull it closed. Down below, 85 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:52,040 Speaker 1: Olivia and Charlie were trying to ignore the stinky smell 86 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,480 Speaker 1: of all their sockless feet on the playground. They were 87 00:05:55,480 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 1: on the swings when the first sock landed. What was that, 88 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 1: Charlie asked. More socks started plopping down all around on 89 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:13,040 Speaker 1: the playground equipment. They stopped swinging to get a better look. 90 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 1: Olivia picked up a pink sock about her size. They 91 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 1: looked clean, But how were clean socks falling from the sky. 92 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 1: She looked up and saw even more socks falling. Then 93 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:32,479 Speaker 1: she saw it. She got a glimpse of the purple 94 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:39,599 Speaker 1: stinky blimp. Lab Charlie, it's the purple blimp, Olivia said. 95 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:44,719 Speaker 1: She squinted. Something was spiraling through the air, much bigger 96 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 1: and therefore falling much faster than the socks. It was 97 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:54,359 Speaker 1: dressed in all purple. It's a purple ninja, she said. 98 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: Sure enough, the purple ninja, who had dove for the 99 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:01,679 Speaker 1: open doorhead missed and was now frantic flipping through the air, 100 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 1: spiraling down toward the playground. The buss isn't gonna be 101 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 1: happy about this, the ninja cried out. All of the 102 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,119 Speaker 1: kids on the playground had noticed the plummeting purple ninja 103 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 1: by now, Olivia and Charlie came up with a plan 104 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 1: and organized all the playground kids. As soon as the 105 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 1: ninja hit the ground ooof, they had him surrounded. Tell 106 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 1: us what happened to our socks, Olivia said, why should 107 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 1: I tell you? Olivia nodded at all the kids and 108 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 1: they got even closer to the ninja. They pulled out 109 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 1: scented baby wipes, flowers, and hair bows, because if you don't, 110 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,559 Speaker 1: we will make you look pretty and even smell nice. 111 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 1: No one will even recognize you as one of doctors 112 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 1: thinking breaths ninjas anymore. The ninja cringed. Fine, do your work, 113 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 1: said the ninja, crossing his arms. 114 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 3: I'll never tell you about our evil plan to make 115 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 3: your laundry machines eat your socks. 116 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 1: His eyes widened when he realized what he just said. Oops. 117 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 1: Charlie was the first to speak up. You heard the ninja. 118 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 1: Her socks are being eaten when they get washed and dried. 119 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 1: We have to fix her machines. Charlie turned back to 120 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 1: the ninja. Tell us how to do it. Now. The 121 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 1: kids poked the ninja with their flowers. These colorful flowers 122 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 1: smelled so fragrant. The ninja could smell them right through 123 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 1: his nose plug. The petals touched him, it tickled. It 124 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:46,319 Speaker 1: was too much, all right, alright? The ninja told them 125 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 1: about the new eat setting on their washers and dryers. 126 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,960 Speaker 3: I'll get those flowers away from me. They're making me 127 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 3: want to smile. That's horrible. 128 00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 1: Armed with the information they needed, all the kids on 129 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 1: the playground rushed home to fix their washing machines. When 130 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:07,680 Speaker 1: the eat setting was finally removed, socks began shooting back 131 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:11,439 Speaker 1: out of their washing machines. Olivia called up HQ and 132 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 1: let them know about what the Purple Ninjas were up to. 133 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 1: They promised to fix everyone's machines.
