Are you guys ready 10 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:42,880 Speaker 1: for this amazing adventure? Me too, Let's go. As Miles 11 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 1: was floating at his desk at school, he was completely 12 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:48,760 Speaker 1: mesmerized by his teachers story. 13 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 2: You see, it was a. 14 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 1: Beautiful day and Miles was at school with all of 15 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 1: his other fish friends. Yeah, fishes have schools. Everybody needs 16 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:03,880 Speaker 1: to learn, right. Well, school was just coming to an end, 17 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 1: and their teacher was telling a story, a story that 18 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:13,040 Speaker 1: maybe it's a legend or maybe it's real. I'm not sure, 19 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 1: but it was absolutely amazing. And that is the day 20 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,960 Speaker 1: that I got smacked in the face with an alien 21 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 1: cupcake as it. 22 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,840 Speaker 2: Sailed through the water the end. 23 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 1: All the students couldn't believe it was their teacher telling 24 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,400 Speaker 1: a joke or was it real. As the bell rang, 25 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 1: which meant school was over, everyone hurried home except Miles. 26 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 1: He had to stay after and ask his teacher if 27 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,560 Speaker 1: that was real or not. Excuse me, mister Varnacle, can 28 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 1: I ask a question, said Myles. I have certainly yes, 29 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 1: What is your question? Said mister Barnacle. That story you 30 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 1: were just telling us, it was absolutely amazing, and I 31 00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 1: can't believe that aliens make cupcakes. 32 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,560 Speaker 2: But anyway, was that real? 33 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 1: Like? I just have to know if aliens are real 34 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 1: and cup if they make cupcakes, and if that story 35 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 1: was real? 36 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 2: Said Myles. 37 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 1: Mister Barnacle began to shuffle some things around on his desk. 38 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,640 Speaker 1: He carefully took his glasses off, revealing that he did only. 39 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:23,240 Speaker 2: Have one eye. Oh that was kind of strange, mister Barnacle. 40 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 1: He was an old redfish, and old redfish that had 41 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 1: been through so many crazy adventures and stories, and somehow 42 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 1: he only had one eye. Well was He placed his 43 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:38,800 Speaker 1: glasses down on the desk. He said, well, Miles, you see, 44 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 1: not many have ever believed that story. I'm pretty sure 45 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 1: it's real. It happened a long long time ago, and 46 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:51,640 Speaker 1: sometimes as your memories fade, you're not exactly sure which 47 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: part is real and which part your brain just filled 48 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:59,639 Speaker 1: in some details. What I can tell you is that 49 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 1: I saw flashing lights, green flashing lights in the sky 50 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,799 Speaker 1: as I looked up, got smacked right in the face 51 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 1: with a cupcake. Pretty sure it came from those flashing lights, 52 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 1: and it was absolutely delicious, the most delicious cupcake I 53 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 1: never tasted. So to answer your question, Miles, I'm not 54 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 1: exactly sure, said mister Barnacle as he shook his head down. 55 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 1: Oh it's okay, mister Barnacle. I understand sometimes having like 56 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 1: a bad memory, you can't remember exactly. 57 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 2: But that is super helpful. 58 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,360 Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna spend this weekend looking up at 59 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 1: the sky and see if I can find any of 60 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 1: those blinking lights. 61 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 2: Oh well, just be safe and don't do anything crazy. 62 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 2: Don't worry, mister Barnacle. 63 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: Said Myles as he waved his fin and swam off. 64 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 1: Miles was a young bluefish who is never afraid of 65 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: an adventure. 66 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 2: Do you like to go on adventures? 67 00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: I do? And what if I told you that there 68 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 1: there was a mysterious treasure in your backyard? 69 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 2: Would that be exciting? 70 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 1: Yes, thou would be pretty exciting if someone told me 71 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 1: that there was a treasure. 72 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 2: In my backyard. 73 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 1: Well, what if someone told you that an alien dropped 74 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 1: a cupcake on your face? Would you think about checking 75 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: out if that was real? I definitely would. That's exactly 76 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: what Miles did. He ran home and decided that it 77 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:34,279 Speaker 1: was time to act. He needed to build a spaceship. Wait, 78 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 1: how is Miles a bluefish gonna build some kind of 79 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,679 Speaker 1: spaceship to bring him to outer space? He's a fish 80 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 1: that lives in the ocean. That's got to be impossible. 81 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 1: As he arrived back home, his parents said, hello, Hey, Miles, how. 82 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,480 Speaker 2: Is school today? Oh? It was awesome. 83 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 1: It was probably one of the most exciting days ever. 84 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 1: And I have a lot of work to do this weekend, 85 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 1: so I'll be up in my room by okay by. 86 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:06,039 Speaker 1: His parents waved at Miles. It wasn't usual that he 87 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 1: came home from school so excited, but they did really 88 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 1: love seeing him so happy. As Miles raced up to 89 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 1: his room, he knew that he had a lot of 90 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 1: work to do. If he was going to build some 91 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 1: kind of spaceship that was going to go to actual space. 92 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 1: He started constructing the form in the shape of the 93 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: rocket ship that would bring him there. It was made 94 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 1: out of a whole bunch of plastic boxes that he 95 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,840 Speaker 1: had found in the ocean and some wire to tie 96 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,279 Speaker 1: it all together. He also needed to find something to 97 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 1: seal up all the cracks to keep the water in. 98 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:41,479 Speaker 2: Oh, that's right. 99 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 1: You know how when if we were building a spaceship 100 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 1: to go to space, we would want to keep all 101 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 1: our air in the spaceship, right, Yeah, because we breathe are. 102 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 2: And Miles, since he's coming from the ocean. 103 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 1: I think a bluefish would definitely need to make sure 104 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 1: water stays inside of a spaceship. As the day went on, 105 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,039 Speaker 1: Miles was working very hard on this project. 106 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:06,840 Speaker 2: He did take a little bit. 107 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,279 Speaker 1: Of a break to come down and eat dinner, but 108 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,920 Speaker 1: then it was right back to it. He was having 109 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 1: so much fun building this spaceship that he didn't even 110 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 1: realize that it was about time for bed. Joe, a 111 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 1: whole bunch of yawns just came out of nowhere and 112 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 1: attacked him and made him really sleepy. Have you ever 113 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 1: had a yawn come out of nowhere and it just 114 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 1: makes you super sleepy? 115 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 2: Yeah? 116 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:37,360 Speaker 1: That's exactly what happened to Miles. He brushed his teeth 117 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,119 Speaker 1: to get rid of all those sugar bugs, because even 118 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 1: fish have sugar bugs on their teeth that they have 119 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,600 Speaker 1: to brush off before they go to sleep too. As 120 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 1: he was tucked into bed, he fell fast asleep. But 121 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 1: that night his dreams were all about the adventure that 122 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:57,160 Speaker 1: lied ahead of him, an adventure that would lead him 123 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: to the answer of the question he searched for. Do 124 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 1: you remember the question that all this adventure is about solving? Yes, 125 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 1: well it's two one.

They the dreams told 130 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 1: them that aliens and cupcakes were real, But it was 131 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 1: about tomorrow's adventure that would lead him to solving this 132 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 1: true mystery. 133 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 2: Are his dreams correct? 134 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 1: Are aliens and cupcakes from space true?
