Are you guys ready for today's adventure? 15 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:59,400 Speaker 1: Me too, Let's go. Miss Mellie's kindergarten class had been 16 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:03,480 Speaker 1: working on a very important science project for almost a month. 17 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:08,320 Speaker 1: It was hard work for everyone, so much waiting, but 18 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:15,679 Speaker 1: the day was finally here. The egg it's cracking body 19 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:21,560 Speaker 1: pointed at the incubator, bouncing around with glee. Miss Melly smiled, Yes, 20 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:27,319 Speaker 1: our eggs are finally hatching. Wow, great job, class, you 21 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 1: did all such a good job watching them grow this 22 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:38,119 Speaker 1: past month. It's big, heissy, it's big, shouted Sonny. Miss 23 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 1: Melly nodded, Oh, you're right. They use their beaks to 24 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 1: break through the shell. Wow. The class looked on in 25 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 1: amazement as the eggs cracked and baby chicks began to appear. 26 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 1: They're adorable. Have you ever seen baby chickens? Oh, they're 27 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:04,279 Speaker 1: fluffy feathers and oh, look at that one. The first 28 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 1: chick poked its head out and cheaped at the kids. 29 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,920 Speaker 1: All right, class, let's let the chicks finish hatching and 30 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,920 Speaker 1: rest as we get ready to go to art class. 31 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 1: Come on now, miss Melly said, as she ushered everyone 32 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,920 Speaker 1: back to their desks. The kids cleaned up and grabbed 33 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 1: their supplies. Then Miss Melly called out, all right, my 34 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 1: little chickadees, time for art. We will move the baby 35 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 1: chicks into their pen when we come back. The whole class, 36 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,520 Speaker 1: it was so excited. As they began to line up, 37 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 1: Miss Melly had to remind them to be quiet in 38 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 1: the halls as they cheaped and chirped like a class 39 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 1: of chickens. Once the class was out of sight, that's 40 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 1: When the trouble began, dune dune, dun crash. The ceiling 41 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 1: grate fell to the ground in the kindergarten classroom. 42 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 2: Sh why someone will hear us? You have to get 43 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 2: those chicks for the bus before they get back. 44 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 1: Two purple ninjas popped out of the ceiling and tiptoed 45 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 1: their way towards the incubator. Inside with the baby chicks, 46 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 1: they were all huddled together, relaxing, sleeping after their big 47 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:25,959 Speaker 1: escape from their eggs. They're so smolling, fluffing gross. 48 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 2: Maybe get this thing open, get them out of here. 49 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 1: Come on, where do we need baby chicks? A kid? 50 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 2: Because chicks make kids happy, and happiness makes the boss sick. Also, 51 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 2: their pants get really stinky. He can use a new 52 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 2: scent for the purple blimp. He's tired of the smell 53 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 2: of his sweaty snow boots. You know those are his 54 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 2: winter scent. 55 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 1: Oh all right, Oh okay, to tell me what those lid. 56 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 1: The two purple ninjas struggled to get the top off 57 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 1: the incubator. Pulling all there might, they pried it off. 58 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 1: It fell with a clank onto the floor. You sh 59 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 1: They went back and forth, shushing each other until another 60 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 1: purple ninja popped out of the ceiling. 61 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 2: When us take some loot at those checks before the 62 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 2: kids come back. 63 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 1: The two purple ninjas reached into the incubator and scooped 64 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:30,839 Speaker 1: up the chicks, slipping back into the ceiling vent. Sonny 65 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 1: and Body entered the classroom. Body had forgotten to take 66 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,799 Speaker 1: his lucky pencil, and there was no way he could 67 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 1: draw a perfect penguin without it. They were drawing penguins 68 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:47,359 Speaker 1: in art class. As Body danced over to his desk, 69 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 1: Sonny snuck a peek at the baby chicks, or where 70 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 1: the chicks should have been. Body. Sonny called out, the chicks, 71 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 1: they're gone. Body rushed over his Sonny's side. What where 72 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 1: do they go? He ducked under the table and looked 73 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:13,599 Speaker 1: under the chairs, over by the bookshelves. No chicks anywhere. 74 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: The two kids started searching every inch of the classroom 75 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,800 Speaker 1: with no luck. They were about to give up and 76 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 1: find miss Mellie when they heard a jeep cheep from 77 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 1: the ceiling. Sonny and Body looked up, then at each other. 78 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 1: Are you thinking what I'm thinking? Sonny asked that you 79 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 1: hope today's pizza day for lunch? Body wondered, No, the chicks. 80 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,719 Speaker 1: I think someone stole them and they went through the 81 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:49,359 Speaker 1: ceiling vent. Sonny pointed to the ceiling grate on the 82 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 1: floor and then back up at the open vent. Now 83 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 1: body understood it wasn't about pizza. He was about to 84 00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:01,480 Speaker 1: ask who would do such a thing, and purple slime 85 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: dripped from the open ceiling venting onto the floor with 86 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 1: a big wa They both knew what that meant. Purple engines, 87 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 1: they shouted. Then they listened closely. They could hear the 88 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:23,600 Speaker 1: cheep cheep echoing through the vent, moving towards the hallway. 89 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:29,160 Speaker 1: They can't stand there forever. Well, let's follow those cheaping chicks. 90 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,279 Speaker 1: Body led the way into the hallway, following the sound 91 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 1: of cheaping from their classroom to the next. The purple 92 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 1: ninjas tried to hold onto the chicks as they climbed 93 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 1: and squeezed their way through the vents. Hey stop it, 94 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 1: come back here, they tried, whispering as the chicks leapt 95 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 1: out of their hands and tried to scurry down the vents. 96 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 1: Every time they seemed to catch one another one popped out. 97 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,279 Speaker 1: Steve was trying to hold onto his three baby chicks 98 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: and kept failing good backer. No, notn on my head, 99 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 1: hey like, oh my nose plug, that's mine. He grabbed 100 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 1: at the chick that was curly escaping when it pecked 101 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 1: his finger. Oh, he cried, Glent, Steve. 102 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 2: We're all else there, Hey step in, how back here, 103 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 2: you fluffy little terrible burn Hey, get. 104 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 1: Out of my sleeve. Meanwhile, down below, Sonny and Body 105 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 1: followed the chicks chirping and loud whispers of the ninjas 106 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 1: all the way to the cafeteria. They saw the ceiling 107 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 1: grate on the other side of the room and ran ahead. Hurry, 108 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 1: come on, let's set up a trap before they come out. 109 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 1: Sonny whispered to Body, Body nodded and took off. He 110 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 1: looked around at the lunchline. Yes, it's beats to day. 111 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 1: Then he saw a tub of chocolate pudding ready to 112 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 1: be scooped for dessert. He slid it out and put 113 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,679 Speaker 1: it under the grate, and he dumped it all over 114 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 1: the floor. What in the world are they doing making 115 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 1: such a giant mess? Is this a part of their 116 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 1: plan to stop the Purple Ninjas. Sonny spotted a mop 117 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 1: bucket full of soapy water and added it to the 118 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 1: messy floor. Now there was slippery slope and sloppy pudding, 119 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 1: just waiting for the Purple Ninjas to Oh, I see 120 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 1: what's gonna happen. Satisfied with the trap, Body and Sonny 121 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:35,319 Speaker 1: hid over by the kitchen entrance where the finishing touch, 122 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 1: Sonny placed a bowl of bird seed by their hiding spot. 123 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:43,319 Speaker 1: Then they heard the crashing sound of the ceiling grate 124 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 1: falling on the cafeteria floor. Here they come, Sonny whispered 125 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 1: to Body. The Purple Ninjas began to pop their heads 126 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 1: out from the ceiling. 127 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 2: All right, coast is clear. 128 00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:00,680 Speaker 1: However, he did not look down as the Purple Ninjas 129 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 1: popped out of the ceiling. Wooo. They did not realize 130 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 1: their air before it was too late. 131 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:10,840 Speaker 2: Ah, what's happen? 132 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 1: It? 133 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:11,719 Speaker 2: What? 134 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 1: Both Purple Ninjas landed in the slippery, slobby puddle of pudding, 135 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 1: sliding across the floor in different directions. They dropped the 136 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 1: baby chicks as they tried to stop their slipping. Jeep 137 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 1: jeep jeep. Baby chicks started away from the Purple Ninjas 138 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 1: and made their way over to Sonny and Body, where 139 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:37,320 Speaker 1: they happily pecked at that bird seed. The ninjas slid 140 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 1: until oof, they were stopped by the walls. Crying and whining. 141 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,079 Speaker 1: They tried to get up and run away, but they 142 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,960 Speaker 1: kept falling.

Both ninjas slid out the back door, sliding 145 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 1: like a penguind across the floor. Sonny and Body were 146 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,680 Speaker 1: a little bummed that the purple ninjas were able to 147 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 1: get away, but they were so excited that they saved 148 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 1: those baby chickies.
