Are you guys ready for today's adventure? 15 00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:58,640 Speaker 1: Me too, Let's go. Delia was a dancer with a 16 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 1: special kind of match. She was able to spin around 17 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 1: above the ground on silks of her own making. But 18 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,960 Speaker 1: while other aerial dancers also used silks to spin around 19 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:17,200 Speaker 1: above the ground, Delia's magic gave her special vantage. She 20 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:22,400 Speaker 1: didn't just make silks, she shot them out of her hands. Wow. 21 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 1: Because of this Delia was not only able to spin 22 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 1: and glide through the air on silks, she could make 23 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:35,319 Speaker 1: them appear wherever she wanted. That's amazing. The other dancers 24 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:40,919 Speaker 1: would say, do it again. Some would even make special requests, 25 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 1: make them pink and sparkly, and then Dahlia would laugh 26 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 1: and shoot them right out of her fingers, to her 27 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 1: friend's delight. One day, Dahlia was swinging and practicing her moves, 28 00:01:54,480 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 1: shooting out silks in every color of the rainbow, red, orange, yellow, green, blood, 29 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:08,240 Speaker 1: and go and violet. Dahlia sang out as each beautifully 30 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:12,240 Speaker 1: colored silk left her hand. She was swinging faster and 31 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 1: faster from silk to silk when she lost track of 32 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 1: her rainbow, red, orange, green. Wait, that's that's not right. 33 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 1: As Dlia paused, trying to remember the next color, she 34 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 1: looked around, where am I? She wondered. All around she 35 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 1: saw large green trees. There were long vines that stretch 36 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 1: from the tops of the tree canopies to the wet, 37 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 1: rocky ground below. She heard birds tweeting and cawing all around, 38 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:51,799 Speaker 1: and the rustling of other animals throughout the bushes below. Somehow, 39 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:57,919 Speaker 1: Dahlia had swung her skills all the way to the jungle. 40 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 1: I bet I better find someone to help me, thought Delia. 41 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,799 Speaker 1: She began swinging towards the rustling in the bushes. When 42 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 1: Delia approached, she saw something orange peeking through the green leaves. 43 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 1: It was as large as a dog and cheesy. Hello, 44 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 1: called down Delia. Hello, okay, can you help me? A 45 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 1: growl was the only reply. Girl growled the creature, and 46 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: then it pounced up. Delia screeched as the orange, cheesy 47 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 1: creature exploded from the bush, reaching up towards her. It 48 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 1: was a Cheeto cheetah. Delia shot a silk at the 49 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 1: Cheeto cheetah as it tried again to reach her. The 50 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: silk hit the creature and the belly and began to 51 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 1: wrap it up. Now it was a Cheeto burrito. Delia 52 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 1: sighed in relief. Oh that was close. But as soon 53 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 1: as she said it, more bushes began to shake and 54 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 1: a low rumbling sounded through the air. Oh dear, I 55 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: gotta get out of here, said Delia as she took off, 56 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,599 Speaker 1: swinging towards a river as the fast as animal in 57 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: the jungle. The Cheeto cheetahs were right under Delia. The 58 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 1: whole time, they leaped and snapped their cheesy jaws at 59 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 1: her silks. Delia used her flips and spins to confuse 60 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 1: the cheetahs. When she reached the river, she did a 61 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 1: leaping split to the silk, dangling above the middle of it. 62 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:46,360 Speaker 1: Just as cheeto cheetah bounded at her heels. Ger roared 63 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 1: the cheetah as it missed and landed splash in the water. 64 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:55,360 Speaker 1: Delia watched the cheetah float away down the river. Oh yuck, 65 00:04:55,960 --> 00:05:00,280 Speaker 1: soggi Cheetos. Just when Delia thought she was saying, she 66 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 1: heard splashing in the river behind her. Clutching her silk, 67 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 1: she turned around. What pizza said? It confused Delia. Floating 68 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:16,719 Speaker 1: slowly towards her were slices of pizza. There was a cheese, 69 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:23,480 Speaker 1: pepronian pineapple slice. They started to slowly circle her from 70 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:27,159 Speaker 1: below when she noticed that cheese slice had a tail. 71 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:33,040 Speaker 1: What pizza slices don't have tails? Now she could see 72 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 1: the tails on the other slices too, and when she 73 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:40,279 Speaker 1: looked back at the pepperoni slice, she saw a row 74 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 1: of teeth just underneath the layer of cheese, and pizzas 75 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 1: don't have teeth. She shouted that pizza slices responded by 76 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:54,279 Speaker 1: snapping their sharp teeth up towards her. They weren't just 77 00:05:54,360 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: pizza slices, they were pizza alligators. Holy smokes, what kind 78 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 1: of jungle is this place? Delia tried shooting her silks 79 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 1: at them, like she did with the Cheeto cheetahs, but 80 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 1: it didn't work. The pizza gators chomped the silks in 81 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,839 Speaker 1: their mouths or dodged them, diving under water. While the 82 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:18,159 Speaker 1: silks landed harmlessly on the top. She heard more splashing 83 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 1: and looked past the two pizza gators waiting for her below. 84 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: Headed up the river towards her were more pizza alligators, 85 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:32,719 Speaker 1: and riding on their backs. We're the Cheeto Cheetahs. It's 86 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 1: time to kick it up a notch, Delia shouted. She 87 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,599 Speaker 1: reached inside to where her magic lived. The type of 88 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 1: magic she needed was tricky and required concentration, but Delia 89 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 1: believed in herself. It's time forsome hot cheeos, she shouted 90 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,719 Speaker 1: as she held her hands out, shooting not only silks, 91 00:06:55,200 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 1: but now hot lava out of her fingers. Soom hot 92 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,039 Speaker 1: lava flu at the Cheeto cheetahs, knocking them off the 93 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 1: pizza alligators. The lava cooled to rock when it landed 94 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 1: in the river, trapping the cheetahs that fell in. The 95 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 1: pizza gators were running out of places to swim now 96 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 1: that there were cooling lava rocks all around. They reached 97 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 1: their big jaws up towards Delia as she swung overhead. 98 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 1: Delia shot silks at the pizza gator's jaws, and this 99 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 1: times shop the silks wrapped them shut before they could 100 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 1: chomp them. Delia continued to swing away high above the 101 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 1: jungle ground. She caught sight of her rainbow silks from 102 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 1: earlier and followed them out of the jungle and back home. 103 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 1: Holy Staledo, Wow, that was wild. I've never been to 104 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:58,559 Speaker 1: a jungle like that before, have you. Wow, she's gonna 105 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 1: be it. Need to be a little bit more careful 106 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: next time to make sure that she doesn't get eaten 107 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:07,559 Speaker 1: by some pizza alligators or some cheeto cheetahs. Well, friends, 108 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 1: that may be the end of the story, but it's 109 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 1: only just the beginning of the amazing adventures that I 110 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 1: had for Delia.
