We can't wait to celebrate with you. 35 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 1: Now on to our story. Ryan needs to stay home 36 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 1: and look after his little squirt of a sister, Zoe. 37 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: He is older than Zoe and isn't so happy about this. 38 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 1: Zoe and Ryan eat dinner and as she is getting 39 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,800 Speaker 1: ready for bed, and he is playing video games. Zoe 40 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: realizes that Bunny Boo, her rabbit, is missing. She cannot 41 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 1: sleep without Bunny Boo. Where could she be Bunny Boo 42 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 1: is missing. But Mom, I was supposed to go to 43 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 1: Rob's house and play with the guys tonight. I can't 44 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 1: stay home and look after Zoe, Ryan said, clearly distressed 45 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 1: at the thought of having to spend an evening with 46 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 1: his younger sister. Ryan, We don't ask you to do 47 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 1: too much. Your father and I have tried to find 48 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 1: a babysitter for tonight, and everyone we know is busy. 49 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 1: It's just one night. Your father and I seldom have 50 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 1: a chance to go out to dinner with her friends. 51 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,839 Speaker 1: We won't be home that late, Ryan's mother said, as 52 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 1: she raced to get ready in time. But Mom, Ryan complained, 53 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 1: spending one night with your sister won't be that bad, 54 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:19,040 Speaker 1: his father said, gently, indicating that the matter was settled. 55 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:25,480 Speaker 1: All right, all right, Ryan moaned, But I'm not going 56 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:30,159 Speaker 1: to read her a bedtime story. Humph. I wouldn't want 57 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 1: you to read me a bedtime story anyway, Zoe mumbled 58 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 1: from just inside her bedroom door, where she had been 59 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 1: listening to her brother complain. Zoe looked up to her brother, 60 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 1: though she would never give him the satisfaction of knowing 61 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 1: that he was much older than her and they didn't 62 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 1: have a whole lot in common. He always tried to 63 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,160 Speaker 1: fit in with all the cool kids at school, while 64 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 1: she was a part of the group of k kids 65 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 1: in the lower school that were content to read books 66 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 1: all the time. They didn't fight or argue often, but 67 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 1: they didn't do much together either. Go to bed early 68 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: and listen to your big brother, Zoe's mother said as 69 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 1: she entered her bedroom. She was all dressed up and 70 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 1: even had makeup on. Usually getting dressed up for her 71 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:30,039 Speaker 1: mother meant wearing clean jeans. I don't need to listen 72 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,719 Speaker 1: to that big stinker. I'm old enough to look after myself, 73 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 1: Zoe said, with her arms crossed and in a huff. 74 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 1: I know, princess, so maybe you need to look after 75 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 1: Ryan tonight, okay, her mother replied as she walked out 76 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: of her bedroom. Be good tonight you too. There is 77 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,160 Speaker 1: some cold pasta and salad in the fridge for dinner. 78 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:59,040 Speaker 1: We won't be late, her mother said, as her father 79 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 1: rushed her out there. I don't think I have ever 80 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 1: seen Daddy wear a tie before. I didn't even know 81 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 1: he had any, Zoe said, as she ate her dinner 82 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:17,159 Speaker 1: with Ryan. Yeah, he has a few, but since he 83 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,919 Speaker 1: has been dressing more casually these past few years, he 84 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:25,600 Speaker 1: hasn't been wearing them. I wore a tie once and 85 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 1: it felt like it was constricting the blood flow to 86 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 1: my brain. Ryan said, as he finished his plate of pasta. 87 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,839 Speaker 1: That certainly explains a lot, Zoe said, with a laugh. 88 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 1: Finish your pasta. I want to put our plates in 89 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 1: the dishwasher and play video games. Ryan said, gruffly. What 90 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 1: am I supposed to do while you play video games? 91 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:53,920 Speaker 1: Zoe asked, getting upset. I don't know. How about going 92 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 1: to bed? You are such a stinker, Zoe said, as 93 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 1: she got up from the table. Takes one to know one, 94 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 1: Ryan replied. Zoe didn't mind not watching TV. She preferred 95 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 1: to read books at night anyway, but she would have 96 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 1: liked to have been asked to join Ryan. Huh, she 97 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 1: mumbled as she brushed her teeth. I don't need him anyway. 98 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 1: After Zoe washed, brushed her teeth, and dressed for bed, 99 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 1: she grabbed the book she was reading about Wilbur and 100 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 1: Charlotte and settled down to read for as long as 101 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 1: it took her to get sleepy. But first she needed 102 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: to find her reading and sleeping companion, her bestest friend, 103 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 1: Bunny Boo. Where are you, Zoe called? Are you hiding 104 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 1: under the bed? Zoe said? As she looked under her bed. 105 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 1: She didn't see Bunny Boo, but she did find five 106 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 1: of her missing socks and her English homework that she lost. 107 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: Bunny Boo, where are you? Are you hiding in my closet, 108 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 1: Zoe asked as she opened the door to her closet. 109 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 1: Her bunny wasn't in there, but she did see her 110 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 1: favorite jeans rolled up in a ball. She had been 111 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 1: looking for those. Then she looked on and under her desk, 112 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 1: on top of her dresser, at the bottom of her bed, 113 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 1: and even in her garbage container. She could not find Bunnyboo. 114 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,840 Speaker 1: I can't read or sleep without her, she said out loud, 115 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,440 Speaker 1: So she went to the living room where Ryan was 116 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:45,320 Speaker 1: playing his video game. Ryan, have you seen my Bunny Boo? 117 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 1: She is missing, Zoe asked. Maybe she ran away from 118 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 1: you because you snore so loudly, Ryan replied, barely paying 119 00:08:54,800 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 1: attention to his little sister, I don't snore, Zoe said, gruffly. Well, 120 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,720 Speaker 1: maybe the bunny ran away to be with other bunnies, 121 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 1: Ryan said, still not paying much attention to Zoe. Bunny 122 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: is my bestest friend. She wouldn't just go anywhere without me, 123 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 1: Zoey replied, and in a slightly louder voice, she continued, 124 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,440 Speaker 1: there is no way I can go to bed without 125 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:29,679 Speaker 1: my bunny. Boo. That got Ryan's attention. Ryan paused the 126 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 1: game and put his controller down. Contrary to your overactive imagination, 127 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:40,599 Speaker 1: a stuffed bunny doesn't just walk away. You must have 128 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 1: put it somewhere, you just don't remember where. But I 129 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 1: looked absolutely everywhere, Zoe said, Sure you did, Ryan said, sarcastically. 130 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 1: Walking into her bedroom, he asked, did you look under 131 00:09:56,520 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 1: your bed, yes, in your closet yes. And I looked 132 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 1: at my desk, on top of my dresser, at the 133 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 1: bottom of my bed, and even in my garbage container. 134 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:14,559 Speaker 1: She isn't here, and I can't sleep without her, Zoe said, 135 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 1: starting to get a little bit sad. Looking at his 136 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 1: sister and the look in her eyes, Ryan started to 137 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 1: feel a bit bad. After all, she was his little Zoe, 138 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,959 Speaker 1: and though he still thought she was a pain, he 139 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 1: loved her all the same. Okay, let's retrace your steps 140 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,560 Speaker 1: and see if we can find your bunny boo. You 141 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 1: will help me find her, Zoe asked, almost smiling. Yes, 142 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 1: I will do anything if it means you might not 143 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:50,200 Speaker 1: snore so loud tonight, Ryan said, with a smirk. Zoe 144 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 1: closed her arms and said, hm, So, where did you 145 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 1: have bunny Boo today? He asked? Did you have her 146 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:02,600 Speaker 1: in the bathroom with you tonight? I might have, I 147 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:08,440 Speaker 1: forgot to check, Zoe said, somewhat sheepishly. Zoe and Ryan 148 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 1: go to the bathroom and look everywhere, even the yucky 149 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:16,560 Speaker 1: place behind the toilet. Though she wanted bunny Boo back, 150 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 1: Zoe was relieved that she wasn't hiding there. That would 151 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:25,680 Speaker 1: be yucky. Where else did you have bunny Boo today? 152 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:29,080 Speaker 1: Ryan asked? Well, I had her with me when I 153 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 1: ate dinner. So Ryan and Zoe went to the kitchen 154 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 1: and looked everywhere. Ryan even looked in the food waste container, 155 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:42,960 Speaker 1: and though Zoe really wanted bunny Boo, she was glad 156 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:47,680 Speaker 1: she wasn't found in such a stinky and yucky place. Well, 157 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,320 Speaker 1: she's not in here, did you have her with you 158 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 1: today when Mom drove you all over the place like 159 00:11:54,720 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 1: she always does on Saturday. Ryan asked, I had swimming rights, 160 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 1: It's not like we went to the beach or something. 161 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:08,960 Speaker 1: And yeah, I take Bunnyboo almost everywhere I go. Okay, 162 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 1: let's go and look outside in mom's car, Ryan said, 163 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 1: as he walked through the door, put your shoes on 164 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 1: and come with me. Grabbing the car keys, Ryan and 165 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 1: Zoe went outside to look inside their mother's car, but 166 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 1: all they found were some wrappers from Zoe's snack that 167 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 1: she had after swimming, and Ryan's charging cord for his phone, 168 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 1: which he had been looking for for about a week. 169 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 1: Walking back into the house, Ryan said, it's getting late. 170 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 1: Can't you just go to sleep with another animal? You 171 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 1: practically have a whole zoo in your room. No, Ryan, 172 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 1: I miss my Bunny Boo and I am scared that 173 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 1: she is somewhere all by herself and lonely. Zoe started 174 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:01,440 Speaker 1: to cry. She tended to cry but many different things 175 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 1: when she was tired. Okay, Okay, she sh don't get 176 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:10,680 Speaker 1: so upset. We'll keep looking. Where else were you today? 177 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 1: Where your little bunny would have been with you? I 178 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 1: was at the swimming pool, but I don't usually bring 179 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 1: her in because she is afraid of the water and 180 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 1: doesn't want to smell like the pool. Then Mom and 181 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,320 Speaker 1: I went to the ice cream parlor for a treat 182 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 1: because I was super hungry and worked really hard at practice. 183 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 1: You went for ice cream without inviting me to come along, 184 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 1: Ryan said, pretending to be upset. We have invited you 185 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 1: to come many times before, but you always seem to 186 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,559 Speaker 1: not want to be around us. In case your silly 187 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:51,440 Speaker 1: friends see you, you have a point, Ryan said, with 188 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 1: a smirk. Would you have taken Bunnyboo into the ice 189 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:59,839 Speaker 1: cream shop with you? Do bunnies eat ice cream? Bunny 190 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 1: Udah sometimes, but mostly she eats carrots. It's a bit 191 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 1: late for us to go buy the ice cream shop, 192 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 1: but they might still be open. Perhaps I can call 193 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 1: and see if they have a runaway bunny waiting to 194 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,320 Speaker 1: be picked up by a little squirt, Ryan said, with 195 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 1: a laugh. I'm not a squirt. You are the squirt, 196 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 1: Zoe said, with her arms crossed. If they have her, 197 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 1: can you go pick her up? Um? It's kinda late. Well, 198 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 1: let me call them first and then we can see. 199 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 1: Ryan said, as he pressed the number to the ice 200 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 1: cream shop. Hello, dairy King, said a hurried voice. Hi, 201 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,440 Speaker 1: this might sound kind of silly, but did you find 202 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 1: a rabbit there? Ryan said? Are you trying to trick 203 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,120 Speaker 1: me or something? The voice on the other end of 204 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:58,480 Speaker 1: the phone said, in a slightly angry tone, No, no, sorry, 205 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 1: I mean did you find a young squirts toy bunny 206 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 1: there today? My little sister was there today and may 207 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 1: have left it behind. Zoe punched her brother on the 208 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:14,280 Speaker 1: arm for calling her a squirt again, let me ask 209 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:19,960 Speaker 1: the others, the voice that the dairy king said, after 210 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:24,440 Speaker 1: what felt like ours to Zoe, the voice returned and said, nope, 211 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. There are no rabbits here, and there are 212 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 1: no stuffed bears either. Sorry I couldn't help. Thank you, 213 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 1: Ryan said, and he ended the call. I'm sorry, Zoe. 214 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 1: We have looked all over the house, retraced your steps, 215 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 1: and even called the dairy king. I'm not sure what 216 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 1: more we can do this evening. You know how, these 217 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 1: things are stuff for some reason magically goes missing, but 218 00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,280 Speaker 1: then the next day it always seems to be found. 219 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 1: When mom gets home. I'm sure she can find her. 220 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 1: She finds everything that we lose. It's like her superpower 221 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 1: or something. Zoe pouted and looked like she might cry. Okay, okay, 222 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,840 Speaker 1: how about I go in and tell you a bedtime story. 223 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,960 Speaker 1: I'll even stay in your bedroom and keep you company 224 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,960 Speaker 1: while you go to sleep, Ryan said, as he tried 225 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:27,720 Speaker 1: to comfort her. You would do that for me, Zoe asked, 226 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:32,320 Speaker 1: a smile forming as she started to get excited. Let's 227 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 1: not make a big deal about it and get you 228 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:38,479 Speaker 1: to bed before I change my mind, Ryan said jokingly. 229 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 1: Zoe jumped into bed and quickly got under the covers. 230 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 1: What should I read for you tonight? That one about 231 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 1: the giraffe that gets lost in the big city or something? 232 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:54,360 Speaker 1: Ryan asked. I'm grown up now and don't read those 233 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 1: little kid books. I read long chapter books now, Zoe said, proudly. 234 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,200 Speaker 1: You want me to read you a whole chapter book? 235 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:07,679 Speaker 1: Ryan said, laughing, Maybe just a little, Zoe said with 236 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 1: a smile. As she got herself comfortable, she shook the 237 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:17,240 Speaker 1: bed a little bit more, which caused two long white 238 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:23,600 Speaker 1: ears to appear behind her bed's headboard. Noticing, Ryan reached 239 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,919 Speaker 1: around and pulled out a dusty, white and pink bunny. 240 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 1: You found my bunny? Boo, Zoe said sheepishly. I guess 241 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:37,879 Speaker 1: I didn't think to look there, Ryan sighed. Will you 242 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:41,159 Speaker 1: still read some of my chapter book to me? Zoe asked, 243 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 1: looking up at her older brother with a big smile. 244 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:54,480 Speaker 1: I guess so, you squirt, And that is the end 245 00:17:54,520 --> 00:18:08,199 Speaker 1: of our story. Good night, sleep tighter.
