Speaker 1: along the way. Are you guys ready for today's adventure?

15
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: Me too. Let's go racing to the water be A

16
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 1: called Julia. As they got to the beach, the golden

17
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,479
Speaker 1: sand was very hot on their feet. As they ran

18
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 1: towards the water, it made them run even faster. Julia

19
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: splashed through the waves first, then dove in. Mia followed

20
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: behind her, stopping and waiting for Julia to re emerge.

21
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 1: A shiny rainbow tail flicked above the water before Julie's

22
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 1: had appeared. Did you see that? She squealed. Mia was amazed,

23
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: Did Julia, what was that? Do you have a tail?

24
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 1: Julia responded by flicking her rainbow tail above water again. Yes,

25
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: I dove in and became a mermaid. Ah Mia wanted

26
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 1: to be a mermaid too. She waited for the next

27
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: wave and dove into it. As the wave passed above her,

28
00:01:56,240 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: her feet transformed into a sparklytail. She flapped it with excitement.

29
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: Mia popped up next to Julia, Me too. It worked

30
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: or both mermaids. So the two girls did what any

31
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: mermaids would do and swam out into the ocean to explore.

32
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 1: They met pink dolphins and plaid tag They raised in

33
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: and out of the coral reef together, dodging sea urchins

34
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: and schools of fish along the way. After a while,

35
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 1: Delilah the dolphin turned to them and.

36
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 2: Said, playing around the coral is fun, but I have

37
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 2: even something cool to show you.

38
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 1: Who was Delilah and Dolly the dolphins zipped ahead as

39
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: Julia and Mia raised after them. Wondered where the dolphins

40
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:58,359
Speaker 1: were bringing them, Was it a sea cave an underwater volcano. Maybe.

41
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 1: They finally up to the dolphins and tried to ask

42
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:07,399
Speaker 1: for hints, but they just clicked and said, you'll see.

43
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:12,239
Speaker 1: After many minutes of swimming, the four friends swimmed toward

44
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:18,119
Speaker 1: the shadow of something looming on the seafloor ahead. Mia

45
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: and Julie recognized the whole of the ship right away.

46
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:28,959
Speaker 1: Detailed carvings of mermaids all along it were mistakable, though

47
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: no one had seen it in real life for thousands

48
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: of years. It was none other than the feared pirate

49
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 1: Captain Smelly Melly's ship lost to sea years ago. Captain

50
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: Smelly Melly and her crew were rumored to have found

51
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: buried treasure on a secret island just days before their

52
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: ship sank and they disappeared. Julia gasped, how did you

53
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: find this? Explorers have been looking everywhere this ship for

54
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: thousands of years. Dolly the dolphin.

55
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 2: Laughed, We've always known where it is, the explorers. He

56
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 2: just never asked, when I go inside?

57
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 1: Holy smokes, Yes, shrieked Mia. She couldn't wait to see

58
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: the inside of the first female pirates ship and swam

59
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 1: inside immediately. The girls ood and odd at the carvings.

60
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: On every wall. There were detailed designs of dolphins, jellyfish, octopus,

61
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: and sharks. Then they came to the door of the

62
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 1: captain's quarters.

63
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 2: We've never been able to get inside of there, said

64
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,720
Speaker 2: Delilah as she held up her fins in explanation.

65
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: Delph ubs, you need thubs. The grabbed door dabs. Julia

66
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: wasted no time with her thumbs turning the handle. The

67
00:04:53,520 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 1: door gave way with a loud m creak. After years

68
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 1: of sitting abandoned, the rumors were true. Inside pirate Captain

69
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 1: Smelly Mellie's corners were wooden treasure chests overflowing with riches, gold, diamonds,

70
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:21,919
Speaker 1: and jewels laid everywhere in glittering piles. Mia found a

71
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: golden crown and put it on her head, while Julia

72
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 1: lined her arms with jewel encrusted bracelets. Wow, Dolly and

73
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: Delilah grabbed the biggest chest they could carry in motion

74
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: to the girls, Let's take this back to our home.

75
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 2: I've heard the diamonds are magical.

76
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 1: Said Dolly the dolphin. So the four of them grabbed

77
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: as much treasure as they could and swam to the

78
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 1: dolphins home. They arrived at their house made of shells

79
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: and set the treasure inside. Julia picked up a diamond

80
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: and studied it. How's it magical, she asked the dolphins,

81
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: but they weren't. They were not sure.

82
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:07,919
Speaker 2: We heard from wise old octopus that you need to

83
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 2: bury them.

84
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: Huh. Mia shrugged and said, well it's worth a shot.

85
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: The two girls grabbed shells to dig in the sand

86
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 1: with began sticking the diamonds in the holes, and nothing happened.

87
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 1: Maybe it takes a while, suggested Dolly. Julia yawned. Or

88
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: and Mio were growing tired from their adventurous day. I

89
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:37,159
Speaker 1: guess I won't be able to see what happens, Julius said, disappointed,

90
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: but Delilah was already on their side, giving them all

91
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,599
Speaker 1: the diamonds they could hold. Dike these, well, we won't

92
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: want you to miss out on the magic. The two girls,

93
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,359
Speaker 1: you know, those mermaids, swam back to the beach and

94
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: up to the shore. As soon as they stood up,

95
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: their tails disappeared, turning back into legs. Thankfully, they sleepily

96
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 1: had home. Mia and Julia were exhausted, but they couldn't

97
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: go to sleep yet. They headed back out to their

98
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 1: sandbox in the backyard and buried the magic diamonds in

99
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: the sand. That night, they dreamt of pirates and shipwrecks

100
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: and sailing their seven seas. As they dreamed, the magic

101
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: diamonds were transforming. As Mia and Juliet woke you up

102
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 1: with the sun, they went to check on their diamonds. Overnight,

103
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 1: the diamonds had sprouted like seeds. Wow, and became small trees.

104
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 1: Only instead of leaves. Oh, you're not gonna believe this,

105
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: You're not. I don't even know if I should tell you.

106
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: Oh bitch, branch had tiny diamond buds sticking out of it.

107
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 1: Over time, the trees grew larger, and so did the diamonds.

108
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 2: What.

109
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 1: The diamond trees were breathtaking as they caught the sunshine

110
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 1: and sent rainbows reflecting and streaking all over their yard.

111
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: They hoped the dolphins trees were just as beautiful. One day,

112
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: they hoped they could become mermaids again and return and

113
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 1: to visit their saltwater friends. For now, they kept their

114
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 1: magical diamond trees as a reminder of their adventure. Holy

115
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 1: smoked diamond trees. WHOA, they're lucky. Wow, I know this

116
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:34,719
Speaker 1: is the end of our story. But I think it's

117
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 1: just the beginning of their amazing ocean adventures that lie

118
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 1: ahead the end. Hey, friends, I need your help celebrating
