1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:05,160
Speaker 1: Welcome to Lively Lewis Stories. Buckle up because you're about

2
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:08,119
Speaker 1: to join Levi and Ivy on an adventure. All you

3
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 1: need is your imagination an off we Go Rivy Rare Stories.

4
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:17,640
Speaker 1: The day started off a bit dreary. As Ivy looked

5
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 1: out her window. The sky was gray and the storm

6
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 1: clouds were rolling in from all the directions. The sun

7
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:25,640
Speaker 1: was nowhere to be found, and a light fog had

8
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 1: settled over her neighborhood. In the distance, Ivy could hear

9
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 1: the low rumble of thunder. Most kids would have turned

10
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 1: away from the window with a frown on their face.

11
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 1: A rainy day was nothing to do, stuck inside when

12
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: all they want to do is be outside, running and playing,

13
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: flying a kite, making a sidewalk chalk masterpiece, riding their bike,

14
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 1: or anything else, but not counting rain drops as they

15
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 1: slid down the window. But not Ivy. She was anything

16
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: but upset, disappointed, or sad. Instead, Ivy was excited, happy,

17
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: and downright thrilled. That's because weather like this means one thing,

18
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: a rainbow. Now, all kids love rainbows. They're beautiful, colorful,

19
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: and mysterious. They also have so many unanswered questions. Where

20
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 1: do the end, What treasure awaits when you make it there?

21
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:21,839
Speaker 1: Where do rainbows go when they disappear? Do unicorns really

22
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 1: live in them? While these are all great questions, I've

23
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 1: already knew the answers because of a magical day she

24
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: shared with a very special friend under the glow of

25
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: a beautiful, colorful, and mysterious rainbow. One day, while Ivy

26
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: was in her backyard plane, she felt a rain drop

27
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 1: on her head. She didn't think much of it because

28
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: the sun was still out and continued to play. Then

29
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: she felt another drop and another. LEEVI, do you want

30
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: to go play in the rain with me? We can

31
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: jump in puddles until moms tells us to go inside,

32
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: she called out, but Leva had already gone in. She

33
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: was going to head inside to when she noticed something

34
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: in her family's flower garden. It wasn't the red roses

35
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: or the orange mums. It wasn't the yellow sunflowers or

36
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: the green Ivy. It wasn't the blue hydrangeas or the

37
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: purple violets. It was something bigger, something that wasn't a

38
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:15,839
Speaker 1: flower at all. Hello, Ivy said. As she walked toward

39
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: the garden. The rain was falling harder now, and she

40
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: brushed her hair away from her face with her hand

41
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 1: to get a better look. When she did, she couldn't

42
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 1: quite believe what she saw standing in the garden looking

43
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:30,399
Speaker 1: back at her. Are you a unicorn? Ivy said in amazement,

44
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 1: right here in my very own flower garden. Why yes,

45
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: I am, said the unicorn. My name is Bo, as

46
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: in rainbow. I am a rainbow unicorn. I can see that,

47
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: chuckled Ivy. You have a stunning rainbow. Main I've never

48
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 1: seen anything like it. Well maybe that's because I've never

49
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: seen a unicorn before. That's probably why, laughed Bow and

50
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: asked to her name. I'm sorry, rood of me. My

51
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 1: name is Ivy. Can I ask what brings you to

52
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 1: my garden today, Ivy asked, as she took a step

53
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: towards Bow. A mistake, I suppose, said BeO. What I

54
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: mean is I mistook your beautiful, colorful garden for a rainbow.

55
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 1: Rainbows are where it liked to be when it rains,

56
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: or I guess technically, after it rains, I just wait

57
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: for the rain to stop and the sun to come out.

58
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: Then I find a rainbow and spend some time playing there.

59
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: It's a pretty fun life. That sounds amazing, replied Ivy.

60
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: But it's still raining. Why did you land like I said,

61
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: Your garden is so lovely and full of color. I

62
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: made a mistake and I thought it was a rainbow.

63
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: I just had to stop and take a closer look,

64
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: explained Bell. Now I can't leave until a real rainbow appears.

65
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: Ivy couldn't believe her luck stop in a rainstorm with

66
00:03:56,120 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: a unicorn waiting for a rainbow. Well, it could be

67
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: more magical than that, since you have to wait here

68
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: for a real rainbow. Would you like to play in

69
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: my yard with me until the rain stops, asked Ivy.

70
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: I thought you would never ask, asked Bo with a smile.

71
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 1: Were you thinking of puddle jumping? The two knew instantly

72
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: that they would be great friends, and ran off towards

73
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: the biggest puddle they could find in the backyard. They

74
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 1: splashed and played for a while, until all of a sudden,

75
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: Ivy noticed the rain was stopping. In about fifteen minutes

76
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: or so, the rain drops had turned into a fine mist,

77
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: and the rays of the sun started to peek out

78
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: from behind the rain clouds. As they began to move on,

79
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: I guess this means you'll be leaving, said Ivy, sounding

80
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: a bit sad. Yes, said Bo, but with a sparkle

81
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: in her eye. Before I go, I was wondering, would

82
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: you like to come with me and play on a

83
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: real rainbow? Ivy couldn't believe her look. It was something

84
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: she'd imagined so many times before while staring up at

85
00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 1: countless rainbows. So many questions ran through her head. What

86
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: would it be like to slide down a rainbow? Is

87
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: there a real pot of gold at the end? Would

88
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 1: this be the only time it would ever happen? The

89
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 1: last question stood out in Ivy's mind, and she knew

90
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: she had to say yes. What if this was her

91
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 1: one and only chance? She didn't want to miss it? Absolutely,

92
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 1: exclaimed Ivy, I'd love to play on a real rainbow

93
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 1: with you, Bo, Thank you so much for asking. As

94
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 1: soon as Ivy said yes, a kaleidoscope of colors spread

95
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 1: across every inch of the sky. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue,

96
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 1: and purple stripes formed a breath taking arch that seemed

97
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: to be giving the sky a giant hug. Ivey found

98
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: herself standing at the base of the rainbow, with bow

99
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 1: by her side. Is this the end? Of the rainbow,

100
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: Ivy asked, looking around for a pot of gold. No,

101
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: my friend, said Bo, this is just the beginning. Follow me.

102
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,840
Speaker 1: Ivy ran after Bo as she made her way up

103
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,919
Speaker 1: the rainbow and began one of the most magical adventures

104
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 1: of her life. Bo first showed Ivy the rainbow slide,

105
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 1: of course, then they skipped from color to color as

106
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 1: they made their way higher and higher into the sky.

107
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: Fluffy clouds sailed by below them as they laughed and played.

108
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 1: When Ivy got hungry, Bo introduced her to rainbow cotton candy.

109
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 1: Ivy checked this out, said Bo excitedly. When a cloud

110
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: passes right through the rainbow, it turns into Bo didn't

111
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: even need to finish her sentence before Ivy exclaimed, rainbow

112
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 1: cotton candy. Rainbow cotton candy. Ivy reached out to grab

113
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 1: a piece as it floated by on the breeze. It

114
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,239
Speaker 1: was the sweetest, most delicious cotton candy she'd ever tasted.

115
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 1: This dick couldn't get more magical, Ivy said, as she

116
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:44,600
Speaker 1: sat with Bo at the top of the rainbow, looking

117
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: down over her neighborhood. But as we all know, rainbows

118
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 1: don't last forever and As they sat there, Ivy noticed

119
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:54,279
Speaker 1: that the colorful stripes were fading more and more. Bo,

120
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen when the rainbow fades away? Ivy asked,

121
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: already pretty sure she knew the answer. I'm going to

122
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 1: leave two, Ivy, but please don't be sad. I'll be back,

123
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 1: Bo said with a little smile. Every time it rains,

124
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: just look to the sky and wait for the sun.

125
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: When the warm rays shine through the tiny raindrops left

126
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 1: behind after a storm, That's when I'll be back. Ivy

127
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: had a tear in her eye, but she believed Bo.

128
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: Even though she didn't want her to go, she knew

129
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: that they would see each other again. Bo and Ivy

130
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: sat quietly next to each other as the rainbow faded

131
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 1: more and more. Neither of them wanted the moment to end,

132
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: but they knew it had to for a new and

133
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: wonderful moment to begin. The two friends walked back down

134
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: the arching rainbow and were once again standing in Ivy's backyard,

135
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 1: by her family's flower garden. So I guess this is

136
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: the end of the rainbow, now, isn't it, Bo asked Ivy. Yes,

137
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: it is, but just for now, replied Bo, as the

138
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: rainbow faded even more, and you were right. There is

139
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: a treasure at the end of the rainbow. It's just

140
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: different for everyone. And at the end of our rainbow today,

141
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: the treasure is the wonderful friendship that we've started. I'll

142
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: see you again soon, Ivy, and with that, Bo raced

143
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: back up the rainbow into the clouds just before it

144
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: faded away completely. Ivy was sad, but wiped the tears

145
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: from her eyes before she walked inside. She decided to

146
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: think of the next time she would see Bo, and

147
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: that made her happy instead of thinking about the first

148
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 1: time they had to say goodbye. So now every time

149
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: it rains, Ivy knows if there's a rainbow, she'll get

150
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: to see bow again. That's why she's not mad at

151
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 1: all about a little rain Instead, she's excited and will

152
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: wait patiently for her to see her friend again. Dad,

153
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: I'm heading outside, called Ivy as she grabbed her raincoat.

154
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: That's just what I thought, replied her, Dad. You always

155
