10
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:44,159
Speaker 1: today's story? Me too. Let's go. Our story begins in

11
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: the middle of the night while Jackson was fast asleep.

12
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: Wait a second, Jackson is not a cat, He's a

13
00:00:55,840 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 1: real person. But oh, that was the sound of his kitty, Fluffy,

14
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 1: sleeping right next to him. Fluffy was like the greatest

15
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 1: kitty ever. She was playful and nice, love to snuggle,

16
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:15,960
Speaker 1: and love to be picked up in Jackson's arms. Every

17
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: single night, when Jackson would grab his comfy blankets and

18
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 1: curl up in bed, Fluffy was already there waiting. Wow,

19
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: what a great kitty. Do you guys have a pet

20
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: that you love to snuggle up with? Who snuggly? Pets

21
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: are very fun. Maybe it's a stuffed animal, but maybe

22
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: it is a real creature. It's great to have something

23
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 1: to snuggle up to in bed. All of a sudden,

24
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: Fluffy heard something and sat her head up and looked around.

25
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: On the floor. There was a red dot, like a

26
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:54,279
Speaker 1: red laser dot. Have you ever seen a cat chase

27
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: around a laser on the floor. They go absolutely wild

28
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: for that thing they think. I don't know exactly what

29
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: they think, but Fluffy thought it was some kind of bug,

30
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: a red glowing bug that she just had to grab.

31
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: So she jumped out of bed and started chasing that

32
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 1: laser around. She was zooming all around Jackson's bedroom. Wait

33
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 1: a second, who is playing that laser game with her?

34
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: Because Jackson's fast asleep, and if I know anything about

35
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: lasers and those red dots that you play with kiddies,

36
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: somebody has to be waving the other side of that laser. Well,

37
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: that is where our story takes a turn for the worse.

38
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: The laser was guiding Fluffy all the way through the

39
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 1: house because like wherever the laser went, Fluffy was very

40
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 1: close behind. But that laser was guiding her all the

41
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,239
Speaker 1: way over to the cat door. Have you ever seen

42
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: a cat door on like the door to a house?

43
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: So that the cat or a dog could run through

44
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: the door without someone having to open the door. Yeah,

45
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: Fluffy had one of those, and the laser led her

46
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 1: right outside. Oh no, this is starting to feel like

47
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 1: some kind of trap. Look out, Fluffy. It was at

48
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: that moment that Fluffy had finally captured that laser dot

49
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: as she pounced on it with her paws extended. Ah.

50
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: She finally felt like she had captured it, but unfortunately

51
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: that laser was actually a trap. As the laser touched

52
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: her paws, something crazy happened as Fluffy started to feel

53
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: very strange. She started to grow and grow and grow,

54
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: until holy smokes, Fluffy had turned into a ginormous dinosaur.

55
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: Fluffy looked down at her paws, which had now turned

56
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: into claws, the claws of a t rex, and she

57
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 1: was very afraid, afraid of herself, and she ran into

58
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: the forest. The next morning, oo Jackson woke up out

59
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 1: of bed and was surprised to not see Fluffy there. Fluffy, Uh, Fluffy,

60
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 1: where'd you go? Shouted Jackson. Fluffy was not only a

61
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 1: very fun kitty, but a pretty sleepy lazy kitty as well.

62
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: It was strange for her to have gotten out of

63
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 1: bed before Jackson. Well, Jackson didn't think much of it

64
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 1: and got out of bed and came downstairs for breakfast.

65
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,359
Speaker 1: He poured a delicious bowl of kitty food into her dish,

66
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: which always brought Fluffy over. Wherever she was, she could

67
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: always hear her food hitting her bowl, and this is

68
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:56,599
Speaker 1: where Jackson started to realize that something was wrong. She

69
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:03,840
Speaker 1: did not come Fluffy. Fluffy, shouted Jackson, but nothing. He

70
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,919
Speaker 1: even tried me owing, and that didn't work either. Jackson

71
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 1: quickly ate his breakfast and put on his shoes and

72
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: walked outside to the backyard. Maybe she went outside, said Jackson.

73
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: Holy smokes, what is that. As Jackson stood in his backyard,

74
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: he did not see Fluffy, but he saw some ginormous

75
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: footprints in the mud in the wet part of the

76
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 1: grass over there. What in the world are these real footprints.

77
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 1: There's no way those are real footprints. They're like as

78
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 1: big as I am, said Jackson as he jumped down

79
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 1: into the hole that those footprints had created. Oh no,

80
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 1: maybe there's some giant creature out here and it must

81
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: have scared Fluffy away. I've got to call this into HQ.

82
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 1: He ran inside and grabbed his walkie talkie and called

83
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: into HQ sh HQ, HQ, come in, This is Jackson, over.

84
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 2: Jackson, what seems to be the problem, over sh.

85
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 1: I don't exactly know what's going on, but one my

86
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: cat is missing, and two their giant footprints in my

87
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 1: backyard and they must be connected somehow. Do you know

88
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:24,280
Speaker 1: anything about Like I know it sounds crazy, but dinosaurs

89
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: in the area, over.

90
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 2: Sh funny, you should mention that I just got off

91
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 2: a call with another agent who had seen a dinosaur

92
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 2: in the forest. I wonder if that's connected somehow. Well,

93
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 2: you do some research and investigate the area. Let us

94
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 2: know anything that you find along the way.

95
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:50,279
Speaker 1: Over Jackson ran inside to get his cat treats because

96
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: there's kind of two missions at hand. One he's gotta

97
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: find Fluffy and two, what in the world is a

98
00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: dinosaur doing out there? Little does he know that though

99
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:05,359
Speaker 1: those are actually the same mission. As he carried his

100
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: bag of cat tracks out to the backyard and to

101
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 1: the forest, he knew that Fluffy could never turn down

102
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 1: one of her delicious treats. All right, I'm going to

103
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: make a trail here, and surely Fluffy will smell them

104
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: and come running and then I'll be able to savor

105
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 1: from whatever creature that is out there. Jackson started to

106
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: leave behind a trail of cat treats, hoping that that

107
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 1: would attract Fluffy. Well, that's exactly what was about to happen,

108
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: and boy was he in for a big surprise. Wow,

109
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 1: is that Fluffy off in the distance. Jackson could hear

110
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: me owing, and he took off running as fast as

111
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 1: he could, throwing cat treats along the way, just in case,

112
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: and it would make it easier for Fluffy to smell them.

113
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: But then all of a sudden, he heard a big

114
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: sound boom, boom, boom. The ground shook and Jackson dove

115
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: for cover. That's gotta be a giant dinosaur or something.

116
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: Oh no, Fuffy, run, it's not safe, shouted Jackson. And

117
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: that is when he saw the giant dinosaur. That's a

118
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: real dinosaur, said Jackson. How in the world did I

119
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: get into a land of dinosaurs? Oh no, Fuffy's gonna

120
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: be so scared. And then he watched that giant t

121
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 1: rex kneel down to the ground and eat the cat

122
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 1: treats off the ground. And then it started, Is that

123
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 1: a purring dinosaur? Fuffy? Is that you, and just then

124
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: the dinosaur looked right up at Jackson. Now Jackson could

125
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,679
Speaker 1: not believe it. His mouth was wide open, his eyes

126
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 1: were as big as sausages. And holy smokes, Fluffy, what

127
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 1: happened to you? As soon as she had swallowed the

128
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: cat treats, something amazing started to happen. She started to

129
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: transform back into a kiddie. Jackson couldn't believe it. It's

130
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 1: a good thing that he saw it for himself, or

131
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:26,199
Speaker 1: else he never would have believed it. But it seems

132
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,079
Speaker 1: to be the cat treats. It's like as soon as

133
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: she ate the cat food, she turned back into a cat.

134
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 1: Jackson grabbed his walkie talkie. He had to let HQ know, HQ,

135
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 1: I have a big update.

136
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 2: Are you there?

137
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 1: This is Jackson over Jackson, what's the update?

138
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:46,319
Speaker 2: Over?

139
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: Well, I found the dinosaur and it seems to actually

140
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,679
Speaker 1: have been my cat. Somehow my cat turned into a dinosaur,

141
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 1: and then when I gave it cat trees, I turned

142
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: back into a cat. Do you have any idea why

143
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: it might have turned into a dinosaur? Over sh Well,

144
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: that's great news and that's gonna be very helpful for

145
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: the other dinosaurs that our agents are seeing around the world.

146
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 1: It seems to be connected to the Purple Ninjas as

147
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: they're trying to turn all of our pets into dinosaurs.

148
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 1: But what you have done is stop them once and

149
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 1: for all. Great job, Jackson, over sh Wow, great job, Jackson.

150
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:31,719
Speaker 1: You saved not only our whole world from dinosaurs, but

151
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: all of our pets from being tricked by the Purple Ninjas.

152
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: Holy smokes, none of us are safe. I thought it

153
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: was just us, but now the Purple Ninjas are after

154
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 1: our pets too.

155
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 2: Oh dear.

156
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 1: We have got to stick together and stop them before
