Come in, Henry, Come in, Henry overh Hey, Amelia, Hey, 17 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 1: what's up? I'm just I'm on an exploration. What's going on? 18 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 1: Sh Henry? I need you to come back to base. 19 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:16,680 Speaker 1: You're running out of oxygen. What are you talking about, 20 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:22,199 Speaker 1: Amelia said Henry. I Oh, oh my goodness, I lost 21 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,320 Speaker 1: track of time. You're right I'm only down to five 22 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,679 Speaker 1: percent left. All right, well, I'll hurry back. Get the 23 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 1: door ready, said Henry. Amelia ran over to the spaceship 24 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 1: door and there he is. All right. She had to 25 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 1: wait for Henry to get in the airlock and then 26 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 1: she could open it. Shh, Henry, you gotta be more careful, 27 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 1: said Amelia. I know. Amelia and Henry lived on the Moon. 28 00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 1: They were astronauts on the spy team and they had 29 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 1: a really important job. You see, there were different bases 30 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 1: across the Moon and they all needed to be protected. 31 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,919 Speaker 1: Oh wow, that would have been terrible if I would 32 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,679 Speaker 1: have ran out of oxygen out there. Thanks so much 33 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 1: for having my back, Amelia said Henry. Oh you got it. 34 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 1: They ran back to their room and got ready for dinner. 35 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:30,800 Speaker 1: Do you guys know what astronauts eat on the Moon? Yeah, 36 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: they have space food. Space food is pretty cool, and 37 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 1: you gotta eat it differently because the gravity on Moon 38 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 1: is very different from Earth, and so sometimes they have 39 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: to eat their food through a tube of toothpaste. Can 40 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 1: you imagine that tube of toothpaste? And now let's pretend 41 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: that toothpaste is gone. It's not actual toothpaste, but maybe 42 00:02:55,600 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 1: it's some soup in the toothpaste. Yeah, and so they 43 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 1: might squeeze that tube of soup into their mouth instead 44 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 1: of using like a spoon, because that would get messy. Yeah, 45 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,679 Speaker 1: it's pretty silly. Well, Amelia and Henry were eating their 46 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 1: dinner when all of a sudden, beep beep beep beep beep, 47 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 1: an alarm went off. Henry, did you hear that? Shouted Amelia. 48 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 1: Of course I did. Let me go check it out. 49 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:25,919 Speaker 1: Henry was the first to get up and run over 50 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 1: to check the screens. Ah, look at that. Holy smokes, 51 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 1: that thing looks huge. Out of nowhere appeared a spaceship 52 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 1: from deep outer space, and it looked like it was 53 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 1: about to land on the Moon. All right, soundly alarm. 54 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 1: We gotta prepare for battle, shouted Henry. 55 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 2: Yeah. 56 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 1: I don't know, Henry. It looks kind of friendly, like 57 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 1: it's not trying to sneak up on us. It's definitely 58 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: not hiding, I know, but we gotta at least get ready. 59 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 1: Henry ran over to the battle stations. He was ready 60 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 1: to blow it to Jupiter, but Amelia was right in 61 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 1: calming Henry down. All right, Henry, I know that that's 62 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:22,480 Speaker 1: usually the procedure, but we gotta be more careful. Uh, 63 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 1: let's just see what this thing wants. Let's try and 64 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 1: talk to it. Amelia reached for the walkie talkie that 65 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 1: would broadcast out to all neighboring space stations and spaceships. Hello, 66 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:39,600 Speaker 1: out there, this is Amelia and Henry. Please report who 67 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,920 Speaker 1: this is that is approaching landing on the Moon. Over 68 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: sh silence. No one is talking back. You see, it's 69 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 1: gotta be a bad guy, said Henry. All right, well, okay, 70 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,720 Speaker 1: prepare to protect the Moon, but let me put my 71 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,719 Speaker 1: space suit on and see if I can go talk 72 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 1: to this creature whatever it is. All right, ready to 73 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: say go? Henry ran over to the battle stations. This 74 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:18,919 Speaker 1: would shoot some giant netshooters out, or it might blast 75 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 1: that spaceship off to Jupiter one or the other. But 76 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: Amelia was getting ready. She had put on her spacesuit, 77 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:31,280 Speaker 1: her helmet, boots, gloves, the whole ordeal, and stepped outside 78 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 1: onto the moon. When you walk on the moon, it 79 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 1: kind of bounces a little bit because there's less gravity. 80 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:46,040 Speaker 1: She started to walk towards this ginormous spaceship. It landed 81 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:53,480 Speaker 1: and the door immediately opened. Hello, Amelia, shouted, and out 82 00:05:53,760 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 1: walked a penguin. What in the world, Amelia shouted, what's 83 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,600 Speaker 1: going on? Bro? Said the penguin. 84 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:07,160 Speaker 2: Bro. 85 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 1: Oh, hello, my name's Amelia, and what in the world 86 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 1: are you doing on the moon. You're a penguin. Why 87 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: of course I am, bro Like I'm a penguin.

Amelia, 91 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:37,040 Speaker 1: come in? Should I shoot the net? Shooter, shouted Henry 92 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,840 Speaker 1: across the walkie talkie. No, wa who woo Henry, Henry, 93 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 1: don't do that. Don't do that, said Amelia. There's some 94 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 1: kind of penguin out here. Uh come again, did you 95 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:50,480 Speaker 1: say penguin? 96 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 2: Over? 97 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 1: Said Henry s yes, Henry, put on your space shoot 98 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: get out here. I have a feeling that there's something 99 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:05,280 Speaker 1: weird going on. Henry got outside very quickly. Melia and 100 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 1: Henry started talking to this penguin. 101 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, brus, I'm looking for the most six sheets of ice. 102 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 2: Have you guys seen any here? 103 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 1: Said the penguin.

There are some really big places of ice, 112 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 1: like on planet Earth. Right over there. They pointed their 113 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 1: fingers towards Planet Earth, which was pretty far away, but 114 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 1: you could see Antarctica. It had a giant sheet of ice. 115 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 1: Poulio couldn't believe it. Is that what I think it is? 116 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 2: Bros? 117 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 1: Yes, Bro, said Emilia. That right over there, that's Antarctica 118 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 1: and it's this huge place of ice. I bet you 119 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 1: would love it. Poulio's eyes were just ginormous. He loved 120 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 1: ice and could not wait to check it out. Holy smugs, Bro. 121 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 1: I just okay, I gotta head out. 122 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,559 Speaker 2: It has been super great to meet you, but I 123 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 2: cannot wait to check out the sigat sheet of ice 124 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,080 Speaker 2: in the whole universe. 125 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 1: Polio ran back onto his spaceship and blasted off before 126 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 1: even waving goodbye. Amelia and Henry were left there with 127 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:09,560 Speaker 1: their hands in the air waving, looking at each other. Henry, 128 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 1: did that seriously just happen? I don't know, said Henry. 129 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,839 Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe this was all a dream, but 130 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 1: I've literally never heard of a penguin flying through outer 131 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:27,319 Speaker 1: space landing on the moon looking for ice. This is 132 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:31,320 Speaker 1: too much. Yeah, I think we need to go inside 133 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,440 Speaker 1: and take a nap or something. We must be too 134 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:40,599 Speaker 1: tired for this. Amelia and Henry ran back inside. It 135 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 1: was definitely time for rest time. If they were seeing 136 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:49,200 Speaker 1: penguins on the moon, well, Polio, he actually was there, 137 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:55,559 Speaker 1: and now he lives in Antarctica surfing on the most 138 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:57,960 Speaker 1: brodaciously big sheets of ice. 139 00:09:58,760 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 2: The end. 140 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 1: Hey friend, Zioney, your help celebrating a birthday?
