Are you guys ready 10 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:42,879 Speaker 1: for this amazing adventure? Me too, Let's go. As Miles 11 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 1: was floating at his desk at school, he was completely 12 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 1: mesmerized by his teachers story. You see, it was a 13 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 1: beautiful day and Miles was at school with all of 14 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 1: his other fish friends. Yeah, fishes have schools. Everybody needs 15 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 1: to learn, right. Well, school was just coming to an end, 16 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:08,640 Speaker 1: and their teacher was telling a story, a story that 17 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 1: maybe it's a legend or maybe it's real. I'm not sure, 18 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:17,559 Speaker 1: but it was absolutely amazing. And that is the day 19 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,960 Speaker 1: that I got smacked in the face with an alien 20 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 1: cupcake as it sailed. 21 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 2: Through the water the end. 22 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:31,119 Speaker 1: All the students couldn't believe it was their teacher telling 23 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 1: a joke or was it real. As the bell rang, 24 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:39,039 Speaker 1: which meant school was over, everyone hurried home except Miles. 25 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,039 Speaker 1: He had to stay after and ask his teacher if 26 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 1: that was real or not. Excuse me, mister Varnacle, can 27 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 1: I ask a question. 28 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,919 Speaker 2: Said Myles. I have certainly yes, What is your question? 29 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 2: Said mister Barnacle. 30 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 1: That story you were just telling us, it was absolutely amazing, 31 00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 1: and I can't believe that aliens make cupcakes. But anyway, 32 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 1: was that real? Like? I just have to know if 33 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 1: aliens are real and cup if they make cupcakes, and 34 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 1: if that story was real, said Miles. Mister Barnacle began 35 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,359 Speaker 1: to shuffle some things around on his desk. He carefully 36 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 1: took his glasses off, revealing that he did only. 37 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 2: Have one eye. Oh that was kind of strange, mister Barnacle. 38 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 1: He was an old redfish, and old redfish that had 39 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:30,800 Speaker 1: been through so many crazy adventures and stories, and somehow 40 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 1: he only had one eye. Well, as he placed his 41 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 1: glasses down on the desk, he said, well, Miles, you see, 42 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 1: not many have ever believed that story. 43 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure it's real. It happened a long long 44 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 2: time ago, and sometimes as your memories fade, you're not 45 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 2: exactly sure which part is real and which part your 46 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 2: your brain just filled in some details. What I can 47 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 2: tell you is that I saw flashing lights, green flashing 48 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,920 Speaker 2: lights in the sky as I looked up, got smacked 49 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 2: right in the face with a cupcake. Pretty sure it 50 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 2: came from those flashing lights, and it was absolutely delicious, 51 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 2: the most delicious cupcake I never tasted. So to answer 52 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 2: your question, Miles, I'm not exactly sure, said mister Barnacle 53 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,519 Speaker 2: as he shook his head down. Oh it's okay, mister Barnacle. 54 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,839 Speaker 1: I understand sometimes having like a bad memory, you can't 55 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 1: remember exactly, but that is super helpful. I think I'm 56 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 1: gonna spend this weekend looking up at the sky and 57 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 1: see if I can find any of those blinking lights. 58 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 2: Oh well, just be safe and don't do anything crazy. 59 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 2: Don't worry, mister Barnacle. 60 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 1: Said Myles as he waved his fin and swam off. 61 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 1: Miles was a young bluefish who is never afraid of 62 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 1: an adventure. 63 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 2: Do you like to go unadventures? 64 00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: I do? And what if I told you that they 65 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 1: there was a mysterious treasure in your backyard. Would that 66 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 1: be exciting? Yes, thou would be pretty exciting if someone 67 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: told me that there was a treasure in my backyard. Well, 68 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: what if someone told you that an alien dropped a 69 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 1: cupcake on your face? Would you think about checking out 70 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 1: if that was real? I definitely would. That's exactly what 71 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:28,039 Speaker 1: Miles did. He ran home and decided that it was 72 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 1: time to act. He needed to build a spaceship. Wait, 73 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:38,919 Speaker 1: how is Miles a bluefish gonna build some kind of 74 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,719 Speaker 1: spaceship to bring him to outer space? He's a fish 75 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 1: that lives in the ocean. That's gotta be impossible. As 76 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 1: he rides back home, his parents said, hello, Hey, Miles, 77 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 1: how was school today? 78 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:51,559 Speaker 2: Oh? 79 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 1: It was awesome. It was probably one of the most 80 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,480 Speaker 1: exciting days ever. And I have a lot of work 81 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,040 Speaker 1: to do this weekend, so I'll be up in my 82 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 1: room by okay by. His parents waved at Miles. It 83 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 1: wasn't usual that he came home from school so excited, 84 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 1: but they did really love seeing him so happy. As 85 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 1: Miles raced up to his room, he knew that he 86 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 1: had a lot of work to do. If he was 87 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 1: going to build some kind of spaceship, that was going 88 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 1: to go to actual space. He started constructing the form 89 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 1: in the shape of the rocket ship that would bring 90 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 1: him there. It was made out of a whole bunch 91 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 1: of plastic boxes that he had found in the ocean 92 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 1: and some wire to tie it all together. He also 93 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 1: needed to find something to seal up all the cracks 94 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: to keep the water in. Oh that's right. You know 95 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,919 Speaker 1: how when if we were building a spaceship to go 96 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,719 Speaker 1: to space, we would want to keep all our air 97 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:53,279 Speaker 1: in the spaceship, right, yeah, because we breathe there. And Miles, 98 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,280 Speaker 1: since he's coming from the ocean, I think a bluefish 99 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 1: would definitely need to make sure water stays inside of 100 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 1: a spaceship. As the day went on, Miles was working 101 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 1: very hard on this project. He did take a little 102 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,840 Speaker 1: bit of a break to come down and eat dinner, 103 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,599 Speaker 1: but then it was right back to it. He was 104 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:15,160 Speaker 1: having so much fun building this spaceship that he didn't 105 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 1: even realize that it was about time for bed oo. 106 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 2: Jill. 107 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 1: A whole bunch of yawns just came out of nowhere 108 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 1: and attacked him and made him really sleepy. Have you 109 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 1: ever had a yawn come out of nowhere and it 110 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:35,040 Speaker 1: just makes you super sleepy. Yeah, that's exactly what happened 111 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 1: to Miles. He brushed his teeth to get rid of 112 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,919 Speaker 1: all those sugar bugs, because even fish have sugar bugs 113 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: on their teeth that they have to brush off before 114 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 1: they go to sleep too. As he was tucked into bed, 115 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:51,599 Speaker 1: he fell fast asleep. But that night, his dreams were 116 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 1: all about the adventure that lied ahead of him, an 117 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,279 Speaker 1: adventure that would lead him to the answer of the 118 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 1: question he searched for. Do you remember the question that 119 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 1: all this adventure is about solving? Yes, well it's two one. 120 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 1: Are aliens really up there? 121 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 2: In two? 122 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 1: Do they make delicious cupcakes? 123 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 2: Well? 124 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 1: All the dreams that Miles had that night they told 125 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 1: them the answer to the question. They the dreams told 126 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 1: them that aliens and cupcakes were real, But it was 127 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 1: about tomorrow's adventure that would lead him to solving this 128 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 1: true mystery. Are his dreams correct? Are aliens and cupcakes 129 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 1: from space true? We'll have to wait and see what 130 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 1: happens on the next episode of Kids Short Stories.
