Speaker 1: our show notes. Enough about that, let's get too Today's
Speaker 1: super Live Ay Lewis story. Too Much Chocolate, Part one,
Speaker 1: The story you're about to enjoy was inspired by Eliza.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for your amazing idea. If there
Speaker 1: was one thing that Ivy loved to eat, it was chocolate,
Speaker 1: and not just one type of chocolate, all types of chocolate,
Speaker 1: chocolate bars, chocolate lollipops, chocolate covered gummy bears, and even
Speaker 1: chocolate shaped like animals, cars, and even buzz As long
Speaker 1: as it was chocolate, it was for her. But it
Speaker 1: was getting to be a bit of a problem. Ivy
Speaker 1: had always liked chocolate, but she had never craved it
Speaker 1: before until last Halloween, when an epic candy hall had
Speaker 1: her looking for the sweet treat all day every day.
Speaker 1: So on one particular day, after her second visit to
Speaker 1: the dentist in two weeks to have a cavity filled,
Speaker 1: her parents decided it was time to put a stop
Speaker 1: to Ivy's chocolate chaos. They also needed to keep a
Speaker 1: better eye on her tooth brushing, but that was a
Speaker 1: different story. Ivy, your mom and I need to talk
Speaker 1: to you, said Ivy's dad when they got home from
Speaker 1: the dentist. YEP, hold on one minute, I'm just looking
Speaker 1: for a snack, called Ivy. She rummaged through the cupboards
Speaker 1: in the kitchen. Getting that cavity filled made me hungry.
Speaker 1: As Ivy searched through the shelf after shelf, her parents
Speaker 1: decided to meet her in the kitchen. Do you know
Speaker 1: where my chocolate bucket is? Asked Ivy? And if you
Speaker 1: don't have a chocolate bucket at home, it's exactly what
Speaker 1: it sounds like, a bucket filled with every different type
Speaker 1: of chocolate you can think of. Her parents, trying to
Speaker 1: be nice after Halloween, let Ivy have a little piece
Speaker 1: of chocolate each day. They didn't think much of it
Speaker 1: because Ivy had never been that big of a fan
Speaker 1: of chocolate. But as days turned into weeks, Ivy started
Speaker 1: sneaking chocolate all throughout the day. It became her favorite
Speaker 1: food and no one could stop her from devouring the
Speaker 1: sweet treat. Then, before her parents knew it, they had
Speaker 1: created a chocolate monster, which was pretty fitting since it
Speaker 1: all started with Halloween candy. Ivy, you can stop looking
Speaker 1: for your chocolate basket, said Ivy's mom, knowing very well
Speaker 1: what Ivy's reaction would be when she told her where
Speaker 1: her tasty chocolate snacks went. Yes, Ivy, you can stop
Speaker 1: looking because your chocolate isn't in there, began her dad,
Speaker 1: looking a bit nervous. We threw it out. Ivy stopped
Speaker 1: her search and slowly turned around to face her parents.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I don't think I heard you correctly, Ivy said,
Speaker 1: with the four S giggle. It sounded like you threw
Speaker 1: out my chocolate. And since you know how much I
Speaker 1: love chocolate, you wouldn't do that. You wouldn't do that
Speaker 1: because it would make me so so so sad, and
Speaker 1: I know you don't want me to be sad, right,
Speaker 1: The look on Ivy's face turned into a worried frown
Speaker 1: as she realized that her parents were telling her the truth.
Speaker 1: Oh no, oh no, why would you throw out my chocolate?
Speaker 1: Exclaimed Ivy as you plopped down in one of the
Speaker 1: kitchen chairs. Am I being punished for something? No, Ivy,
Speaker 1: you didn't do anything wrong. Well, not exactly, said her mom,
Speaker 1: sitting down next to her at the kitchen table. We did,
Speaker 1: She's right, Ivy. We let you have chocolate every day,
Speaker 1: and that started a bad habit, her dad explained. You
Speaker 1: started out having one little piece a day, then it
Speaker 1: was two pieces, then more and more and more. We
Speaker 1: should have stopped you a while ago. I mean, you
Speaker 1: just got home from getting a cavity fils because of
Speaker 1: all the chocolate you're eating, and the first thing you
Speaker 1: did was look for more chocolate. Eating too much chocolate
Speaker 1: isn't good for you, added Ivy's mom. It can make
Speaker 1: you cranky, give you cavities, and make it hard for
Speaker 1: you to sleep because of all the sugar. We're sorry,
Speaker 1: but right now we think it's best for you to
Speaker 1: lay off the chocolate for a bit. A piece here
Speaker 1: and there is totally fine. I mean, I love chocolate too,
Speaker 1: but eating it every day just isn't great for you,
Speaker 1: said Ivy's dad. Ivy was so shocked that she couldn't
Speaker 1: even think of what to say. She just sat there
Speaker 1: thinking of her favorite chocolates and how much she was
Speaker 1: going to miss them. Ivy, we need you to say something,
Speaker 1: said her mom. You're not being punished. You can have
Speaker 1: chocolate again, just not right now. There has to be
Speaker 1: something else you can eat, suggested her dad as he
Speaker 1: got up and opened the fridge. How about some grape
Speaker 1: or string cheese. You used to love those snacks, or
Speaker 1: some gram crackers or pretzels, added Ivey's mom. No, thank you,
Speaker 1: said Ivy in a sad voice as she stood up.
Speaker 1: I'm not hungry all of the sudden. I know I
Speaker 1: was eating too much chocolate, and I know you're just
Speaker 1: trying to do what's best for me, but I'm going
Speaker 1: to need a minute to think all this over. Ivy's
Speaker 1: parents were happy with the way their daughter was handling
Speaker 1: the new chocolate shortage, and they decided it would be
Speaker 1: best to let her try and work through it on
Speaker 1: her own. To start out, we're here if you need
Speaker 1: any snack suggestions, said Ivy's mom with a little smile. Okay,
Speaker 1: thank you, said Ivy in a soft voice as she
Speaker 1: walked into the living room where Levi had been listening
Speaker 1: to her conversation with her parents. I heard the whole thing,
Speaker 1: he said, as Ivy sat down next to him on
Speaker 1: the couch. Sorry about that, but maybe I can make
Speaker 1: you something tasty to eat. Do you want to try
Speaker 1: my latest combination pickles and raisins. Sounds strange, but oddly enough,
Speaker 1: it works, Levi. I definitely had what Ivy would politely
Speaker 1: call a unique diet. When she wasn't being polite, she
Speaker 1: would say, he eats some really weird food. No thanks,
Speaker 1: I think I'm going to go for a walk, said Ivy.
Speaker 1: So she told her parents she'd be back in a
Speaker 1: bit and headed out to think about her world without chocolate.
Speaker 1: As Ivy walked, she kind of lost track of where
Speaker 1: she was. The only thing swirling around in her were
Speaker 1: thoughts of chocolate, and before she knew it, she was
Speaker 1: standing in front of a store, a store she had
Speaker 1: been many times before. It was Charlotte's Chocolate Shop. Ivy
Speaker 1: have never been happier or sadder to see the little
Speaker 1: shop Before she pressed her nose up against the window
Speaker 1: and stared inside at every kind of chocolate you could imagine.
Speaker 1: As Ivy looked inside the little shop, she thought about
Speaker 1: one thing. I'm sure mom and Dad wouldn't be upset
Speaker 1: if I had just one little, teeny teeny tiny nibble
Speaker 1: of chocolate, right, Ivy thought to herself. After all, they
Speaker 1: did take all my chocolate, which means I'm going to
Speaker 1: be having way less than I normally would, So surely
Speaker 1: having one little taste right now would be fine. The
Speaker 1: more Ivy stared at the chocolate inside the little shop,
Speaker 1: the more she'd believed what she was saying. Then before
Speaker 1: she knew it, she was reaching for the door handle
Speaker 1: and walking inside. However, Charlotte, who owned the chocolate shop,
Speaker 1: was nowhere to be found. Ivy even called out to
Speaker 1: her to see if she was in the back, but
Speaker 1: no one answered. Knowing that she couldn't just take a
Speaker 1: piece of chocolate without paying for it, she frowned and
Speaker 1: turned to walk out. That's when she saw a small
Speaker 1: silver tray sitting on a table by the door. The
Speaker 1: tray was piled high with pieces of chocolate and a
Speaker 1: tiny sign that said free samples. Take one Ivy didn't
Speaker 1: even give it a second thought as she grabbed a
Speaker 1: piece of chocolate. As she nibbled the sweet treat, enjoying
Speaker 1: every little bit of it, Charlotte walked out from the
Speaker 1: back room. Hi, Ivy, how long have you been here? Sorry?
Speaker 1: I didn't come out before. I was working on a
Speaker 1: new chocolate creation in the back. I guess I was
Speaker 1: so focused on it. I didn't hear you come in,
Speaker 1: said Charlotte, standing in front of Ivy and an apron
Speaker 1: covered in melted chocolate. No problem, I haven't been here
Speaker 1: long and I can't stay, said Ivy, finishing the last
Speaker 1: little bit of her free sample. I just came in
Speaker 1: to say goodbye to me. Are you moving or something?
Speaker 1: Asked Charlotte, standing a bit surprised. No, I'm here to
Speaker 1: say goodbye to chocolate, answered Ivy. My mom and dad
Speaker 1: said I've been eating too much of it, and they
Speaker 1: took all the chocolate I had in the house. Wow,
Speaker 1: that's really sad news, not just for you, but for
Speaker 1: me too. Lately, you've been one of my best customers,
Speaker 1: said Charlotte with a giggle. But seriously, if you're gonna
Speaker 1: stop being chocolate, at least make your last chocolate. He
Speaker 1: treat something really special, and before Ivy could say that
Speaker 1: she had already had a free sample and that was
Speaker 1: going to be here last bite of chocolate for a
Speaker 1: long while, Charlotte disappeared into the back room. In a
Speaker 1: few seconds, she rushed back out holding a napkin with
Speaker 1: a small square of chocolate resting on it. This is
Speaker 1: the new chocolate I've been working on, and there's no
Speaker 1: one I can think of that will appreciate it as
Speaker 1: much as you, said Charlotte, handing a square of chocolate
Speaker 1: to Ivy. Ivy quickly thought about her parents and what
Speaker 1: they would say, but she also thought it would be
Speaker 1: rude to refuse the tasty treat, after all, Charlotte had
Speaker 1: worked so hard on it, so not wanting to make
Speaker 1: Charlotte sad, Ivy took the chocolate and popped it in
Speaker 1: her mouth. She let it melt on her tongue, enjoying
Speaker 1: every little flavor, and it was the best chocolate she
Speaker 1: had ever had in her whole life. She told Charlotte
Speaker 1: how great it was and said some days she'd be
Speaker 1: back to have another piece, but for now she had
Speaker 1: to be heading home. Charlotte told her The secret to
Speaker 1: the chocolate was a very old, possibly magical recipe that
Speaker 1: she used. Just my luck, the day I stop eating
Speaker 1: chocolate is the day you figure out how to make
Speaker 1: it magic, giggled Ivy as she waved goodbye to Charlotte
Speaker 1: and walked out of the shop. Charlotte giggle too, but
Speaker 1: in the back of her mind she thought, what if,
Speaker 1: just what if that chocolate is a little magic. I
Speaker 1: guess we'll have to wait and see. As Ivy walked home,
Speaker 1: Charlotte went back to making chocolate. Little did she know
Speaker 1: that Ivy would be back a lot sooner than she thought,
Speaker 1: and she'd have something pretty amazing to tell her. It
Speaker 1: didn't take Ivy long to get home, and when she arrived,
Speaker 1: her mom opened the door for her, holding a big
Speaker 1: plate of oatmeal cookies. Hungry now, she asked, holding up
Speaker 1: the plate of cookies, which just so happened to be
Speaker 1: one of Ivy's favorites. I'm all set, mom, but thank you,
Speaker 1: answered Ivy. Her mom asked her about her walk, trying
Speaker 1: to get a little smile out of her daughter, but
Speaker 1: Ivy just said she was fine and walked upstairs to
Speaker 1: her room. Once inside, Ivy pushed her door shut with
Speaker 1: her foot and flopped on her bed, and that's when
Speaker 1: it happened. She was still thinking about chocolate, so she
Speaker 1: decided to distract herself with some drawing. But when she
Speaker 1: picked up her favorite marker, something unusual and delicious happened.
Speaker 1: The marker turned to chocolate, completely chocolate, right before her eyes.
Speaker 1: Ivy couldn't believe what she was seeing. She assumed that
Speaker 1: she was just so focused on chocolate at the moment
Speaker 1: that her eyes were playing tricks on her. She picked
Speaker 1: up another marker, and another, and one after the other.
Speaker 1: They all turned to chocolate. She touched her notebook, a
Speaker 1: cept anam on her bed, and her soccer ball chocolate.
Speaker 1: Chocolate chocolate. Now what would you do if everything you
Speaker 1: touched her into chocolate? You maybe tended to take a
Speaker 1: little nibble to see what a chocolate notebook tasted like. Well,
Speaker 1: that's exactly what Ivy did, and it tasted amazing. Not
Speaker 1: knowing how long this newfound magic power would last, Ivy
Speaker 1: began grabbing everything she could. Shirts, necklaces, building blocks, and
Speaker 1: even her alarm clock were all now one hundred percent chocolate.
Speaker 1: Ivy continued turning her world and everything in it into chocolate,
Speaker 1: thinking the whole time that this was the most amazing
Speaker 1: thing that had ever happened to her, And of course,
Speaker 1: as she turned things into chocolate, she just had to
Speaker 1: take a little nibble from each. Really enjoying her new
Speaker 1: found magical powers, Ivy spent quite a bit of time
Speaker 1: in her room, eating more chocolate than she had ever
Speaker 1: eaten before. But after an hour or so had passed,
Speaker 1: Ivy's mom knocked on the door, wanting to check in
Speaker 1: and see how Ivy was doing. Ivy, Honey, open up.
Speaker 1: I have some carrots and ranch dressing for you, said
Speaker 1: her mom. I know it's not chocolate, but you do
Speaker 1: need to eat a little something. Ivey called out to
Speaker 1: her mom to give her one second as she tried
Speaker 1: to figure out a way to open her bedroom door
Speaker 1: without touching it and turn it into chocolate. Ivey felt
Speaker 1: like she wanted to keep her magical powers to herself
Speaker 1: for just a little bit longer. She told her mom
Speaker 1: she wasn't hungry for carrots right then, and she'd go
Speaker 1: downstairs soon and make herself something to eat. Ivy's mom
Speaker 1: told her she was leaving the carrots outside her door
Speaker 1: and hoped she would eat them. At that point, after
Speaker 1: thinking about it for a second, Ivy had been eating
Speaker 1: so much chocolate that the thought of carrots dipped in
Speaker 1: ranch did actually sound pretty good. When she knew her
Speaker 1: mom had gone downstairs, Ivy grabbed a shirt to wrap
Speaker 1: around her hand so she didn't touch her doorknob directly
Speaker 1: and turn it into chocolate. But of course the shirt
Speaker 1: she touched turned to chocolate. So now with the solid
Speaker 1: chocolate shirt, she tried her best to open the door.
Speaker 1: It took a while, but she did it. After making
Speaker 1: sure no one was in the hallway, Ivy dragged the
Speaker 1: plate of carrots and ranch into her room with the shirt.
Speaker 1: I know I can't pick up the carrots, thought Ivy,
Speaker 1: so I'll just grab them with my teeth. But as
Speaker 1: Ivy leaned down, she put her hands on the floor
Speaker 1: to steady herself and bam, chocolate floor. Oh no, called
Speaker 1: out Ivy, loud enough for Levi to hear, and before
Speaker 1: she could tell him to not come in, Levi opened
Speaker 1: her bedroom door, took one step on the chocolate floor,
Speaker 1: and slid into Ivy's room. I Wanting Levi to get hurt,
Speaker 1: Ivy quickly put her hands to stop him. And can
Speaker 1: you guess what happened next? Levi no, whispered Ivy, not
Speaker 1: wanting her parents to hear. She held out her hands
Speaker 1: to stop her brother from falling, but thankfully pulled them
Speaker 1: away just in time to stop herself from touching Levi, however,
Speaker 1: not fast enough to stop herself from touching his shirt,
Speaker 1: which she now had to explain to her brother why
Speaker 1: almost everything in her room, including his shirt, was made
Speaker 1: of chocolate. What's going on? What did you do to
Speaker 1: my shirt? And most importantly, can I eat a little
Speaker 1: bit of it? Asked Levi I, trying to make sense
Speaker 1: of everything that was going on in Ivy's room. Levi,
Speaker 1: We don't have time for chocolate snacks right now, Ivy said,
Speaker 1: as she went on to explain. When I went for
Speaker 1: my walk, I ended up at the chocolate shop, Charlotte
Speaker 1: gave me some new chocolate she had just made, and
Speaker 1: after I ate it, she said it was a special
Speaker 1: recipe and the chocolate maybe magic. Maybe magic. I think
Speaker 1: you can safely say it's magic for sure, said Levi
Speaker 1: with a giggle, trying nibble of sleeve on his shirt.
Speaker 1: You have to help me get out of the house
Speaker 1: and back to the chocolate shop, said Ivy. I have
Speaker 1: to get to Charlotte to help me. Hopefully she can.
Speaker 1: It makes my magic power and all this chocolate go away. Maeve.
Speaker 1: I could have not been more surprised. Wow, Ivy, I
Speaker 1: never thought i'd hear you say you wanted to get
Speaker 1: rid of chocolate, said Levi. But I get it. It
Speaker 1: would be impossible to keep your magic power a secret
Speaker 1: for much longer with everything you touched turning into rich,
Speaker 1: sweet chocolate chocolate. Levi' stopped thinking about chocolate and let's go,
Speaker 1: said Ivy. Okay, but you have to cover your hands,
Speaker 1: said Levi. We can't have you randomly touching things. As
Speaker 1: we leave the house, Mom and dad may see. Then
Speaker 1: they'll find out that you've been sneaking chocolate, magical chocolate,
Speaker 1: no less all morning. But anything that touches my hands
Speaker 1: will turn to chocolate, Levi. I've you reminded her brother. Okay,
Speaker 1: then just be extra careful, said Levi, who ran to
Speaker 1: his room to change his shirt. Once you got back,
Speaker 1: Levi and Ivy made their way down in the hallway,
Speaker 1: down the stairs, and through the living room, with Ivy
Speaker 1: trying as hard as she could to not touch anything,
Speaker 1: and just when they thought they were in the clear,
Speaker 1: Levi opened the front door for them to leave and
Speaker 1: found his dad standing right there on the porch. Hi
Speaker 1: you too, he said. Oh Hi, Dad, said Ivy, putting
Speaker 1: her hands behind her back, careful not to touch her shirt.
Speaker 1: I'm proud of you, Ivy said her dad. You've been
Speaker 1: doing a great job not eating chocolate today. I've at
Speaker 1: once you start doing some other things to take your
Speaker 1: mind off it, that you won't even think about chocolate
Speaker 1: one time. Uh sure, dad, definitely, said Ivy, trying to
Speaker 1: end the conversation as quickly as possible. Here, how about
Speaker 1: trying one of these I just bought them at the
Speaker 1: orchard down the road, asked IV's dad as he tossed
Speaker 1: his daughter a red, shiny apple. Ivy watched as the
Speaker 1: apple spun through the air to her in slow motion,
Speaker 1: but before it fell into her hand, her dad turned
Speaker 1: away to walk into the garage. Ivy caught the apple
Speaker 1: and instantly it turned into solid chocolate. She then tossed
Speaker 1: the chocolate apple to Levi, who quickly hit it back
Speaker 1: inside the house on the table by the front door.
Speaker 1: Once that apple was out of sight, Levi and Ivy
Speaker 1: ran to the chocolate shop as fast as they could.
Speaker 1: Once they got there, Ivy, forgetting her magic power, grabbed
Speaker 1: the door handle, turning the whole door into chocolate. This
Speaker 1: happened right in front of Charlotte, who was restocking chocolate
Speaker 1: lollipops in the back of the stoor. Oh no, said
Speaker 1: Charlotte as she waved Levine Ivy into the shop. Oh no,
Speaker 1: oh no, I know, said Ivy, and I need your help.
Speaker 1: Your magic chocolate was fun at first, but now I
Speaker 1: just want to be able to pick up an apple
Speaker 1: or hug my teddy bear without turning them into chocolate.
Speaker 1: Like I told you, I had a feeling this would happen,
Speaker 1: fortunately for you and your teddy Bear. I know how
Speaker 1: to reverse it, Charlotte said, But I don't know that
Speaker 1: you're gonna like it. Whatever it is, I am ready.
Speaker 1: I can't look at chocolate for one more minute, said Ivy.
Speaker 1: Just tell me what to do. You have to eat something,
Speaker 1: said Charlotte as she walked into the back room. Oh no,
Speaker 1: not more chocolate side, Ivy. I don't think I can. Nope,
Speaker 1: not chocolate, answered Charlotte, but rather the most unlike chocolate
Speaker 1: food you can think of you have to eat broccoli,
Speaker 1: and not just a little piece, but a whole head
Speaker 1: of broccoli. Sorry, Ivy ouch, no fun, Ivy said Lee
Speaker 1: by making a face at the thought of eating all
Speaker 1: that broccoli. Charlotte went back into the room and quickly
Speaker 1: returned holding a huge plate of cut up broccoli. You
Speaker 1: just happen to have a whole head of broccoli cut
Speaker 1: up in the back already, I've asked, Like I said,
Speaker 1: I had a feeling this would happen, answered Charlotte. Ivy
Speaker 1: stared at the big pile of green on her plate
Speaker 1: in front of her. She had never seen so much
Speaker 1: broccoli in her whole life. And you're sure if I
Speaker 1: eat this, the magic power will go away, Ivy asked Charlotte.
Speaker 1: And I won't all of a sudden start turning things
Speaker 1: into broccoli, right. I guess we'll see, said Charlotte. But
Speaker 1: this is just regular old broccoli from the store down
Speaker 1: the street, so I'm thinking the chances of you getting
Speaker 1: broccoli magic powers is pretty low. Ivy looked over at Levi,
Speaker 1: who stood right behind her, to cheer her on. Then,
Speaker 1: on the count of three, Ivy started to eat piece
Speaker 1: after piece of broccoli, until everyone was gone. It was
Speaker 1: actually pretty good, said Ivy, finishing her last piece of
Speaker 1: broccoli after eating all that chocolate. It's nice to eat
Speaker 1: something that's fresh and green, but I definitely think I've
Speaker 1: had my Phillip broccoli for the year. Charlotte and Levi
Speaker 1: both laughed, but they also knew that they had to
Speaker 1: see if the broccoli worked. I still feel the same,
Speaker 1: said Ivy. Do you think the magic chocolate power went away?
Speaker 1: Charlotte shrugged her shoulders and said, there's only one way
Speaker 1: to find out, since most everything my shop is chocolate. Anyway,
Speaker 1: let me get you a bowl or something from the
Speaker 1: back room and you can try touching. That sounds good,
Speaker 1: said Ivy. She stared at her hands, wondering if they
Speaker 1: were still filled with magic. Levi, on the other hand,
Speaker 1: had been staring at all the chocolate in the store
Speaker 1: the whole time Ivy was eating her broccoli. Since he
Speaker 1: had only taken a nibble of his chocolate shirt at home,
Speaker 1: he still had quite a big appetite for the sweet stuff. Levi,
Speaker 1: you look like you're starving, gild Ivy. Why don't you
Speaker 1: take one of the free samples by the door. Good
Speaker 1: idea Levi said as he walked over to grab a
Speaker 1: piece of chocolate. But if you remember, Ivy had accidentally
Speaker 1: turned the front door into chocolate, and with everything else
Speaker 1: going on, Levi and Ivy didn't notice that the door
Speaker 1: was melting all over the chocolate shop floor. As Levi
Speaker 1: was walking by, he slipped on the oohiguey chocolate and
Speaker 1: fell forward, right toward his sister, just like before. Ivy's
Speaker 1: first instinct was to put up her hands and stop
Speaker 1: Levi from falling. But would this mean Levi was going
Speaker 1: to turn into chocolate. There was no time to stop
Speaker 1: it from happening, and before Ivy knew it, she was
Speaker 1: holding Levi by his shoulders. He twisted away from her quickly,
Speaker 1: not knowing if he was seconds away from becoming a
Speaker 1: chocolate Levi's statue. As he turned away from Ivy, Levi
Speaker 1: slipped again on the candy covered floor, falling into a
Speaker 1: big puddle of chocolate. Levi called that Ivy, Levi, are
Speaker 1: you okay? Hearing all the commotions, Charlotte ran out from
Speaker 1: the back room in time to see Ivy standing in
Speaker 1: the middle of the melted chocolate with a very nervous
Speaker 1: and concerned look. On her face. Charlotte then looked down
Speaker 1: at the floor where Levi was laying covered in chocolate.
Speaker 1: Oh no, what have I done? Called out Ivy as
Speaker 1: she ran to Charlotte. I'm a chocolate monster. We need
Speaker 1: to help Levi. I can't believe I just turned him
Speaker 1: into chocolate. Ivy began to cry and fell on the
Speaker 1: floor near the front counter. Charlotte tried to think fast
Speaker 1: and ran over to Levi. That's when she noticed he
Speaker 1: was moving. And after spending all your time in a
Speaker 1: chocolate shop, you know for sure that chocolate is not
Speaker 1: supposed to move, Levi. Charlotte whispered, are you chocolate? That's
Speaker 1: when she heard a muffled voice. Ay, no, I'm not chocolate,
Speaker 1: just covered in it because of the melting chocolate door.
Speaker 1: Levi slowly stat up and wiped the chocolate off his
Speaker 1: face with a big smile. This has been a weird day,
Speaker 1: he said with a laugh as he licked a little
Speaker 1: bit of the melted chocolate off his fingers. Hearing his voice,
Speaker 1: Ivy stopped crying and looked up immediately. Levi, I didn't
Speaker 1: turn you into a chocolate statue, exclaimed Ivy with great
Speaker 1: relief and excitement. That means that broccoli worked and my
Speaker 1: magic power is gone. Ivy was so excited she hugged
Speaker 1: Levi and helped him up. She was now covered in
Speaker 1: chocolate too, but she didn't care. She was just so
Speaker 1: happy that everything was back to normal. Well except for
Speaker 1: the chocolate shops front door. The part that had melted
Speaker 1: slowly turned back into a real door now that Ivy's
Speaker 1: magic power was gone. But anything that was melted stayed chocolate,
Speaker 1: so it definitely needed to be replaced. I can't thank
Speaker 1: you enough for your help. I'm so sorry about the
Speaker 1: front door, said Ivy to Charlotte. It's no problem, seeing
Speaker 1: as how I was the one that gave you the
Speaker 1: magic chocolate, giggled Charlotte. After seeing how the front door
Speaker 1: and the chocolate shop reacted to her magic powers being reversed,
Speaker 1: Ivy knew everything in her room would be back to
Speaker 1: normal when she got home, which made her breathe a
Speaker 1: huge sigh of relief. Yep, the only things that we
Speaker 1: turned into chocolate that can't go back to normal are
Speaker 1: the things that have been eaten already or things that
Speaker 1: had already melted, said Charlotte reassuringly. After helping Charlotte clean
Speaker 1: up what they could at the chocolate shop and cleaning
Speaker 1: them themselves up a bit. Levi and Ivy said thank
Speaker 1: you and headed home. They were both anxious to see
Speaker 1: what Ivy's room looked like after they quickly washed off
Speaker 1: the rest of the chocolate in the bathroom. Thankfully, they
Speaker 1: made it inside and upstairs before their parents could see them,
Speaker 1: and just like Charlotte said, everything had turned back to
Speaker 1: normal in Ivy's bedroom. Thinking everything had worked out, she
Speaker 1: and Levi walked downstairs only to find their dad standing
Speaker 1: by the table next to the front door with a
Speaker 1: confused look on his face. That's the table where I
Speaker 1: put the apple you turned to chocolate, I whispered to
Speaker 1: his sister. Oh no, since the front door has a
Speaker 1: big glass piece in it. I bet the son's streaming
Speaker 1: into the house melted the chocolate apple all over the table,
Speaker 1: and melted chocolate doesn't change back, added Ivy, wondering what
Speaker 1: would happen next. Hey, Ivy, do you know anything about
Speaker 1: the chocolate all over this table? Asked Ivy's dad as
Speaker 1: she and her brother walked into the living room. I
Speaker 1: thought we took all of the chocolate out of the house.
Speaker 1: Were you sneaking a last little bit by any chance?
Speaker 1: Ivy looked at Levi and started to laugh something like that.
Speaker 1: I'm really sorry, dad, said Ivy, but definitely now know
Speaker 1: that too much chocolate is not good for me. You
Speaker 1: and mom don't have to worry about me eating too
Speaker 1: much anymore. Well that's great to hear, said Ivy's dad,
Speaker 1: sounding a bit surprised. A week or so had passed
Speaker 1: since all of Ivy's chocolate had been removed from the house,
Speaker 1: and during that time her parents noticed what a great
Speaker 1: job she was doing, limiting her sugary snacks and eating
Speaker 1: a bit more healthy. They were so proud, in fact,
Speaker 1: that they thought she had spent enough time without her
Speaker 1: favorite treat. They decided to surprise her by taking her
Speaker 1: to the chocolate shop in town so she could pick
Speaker 1: out a little something. Even though Ivy said no, her
Speaker 1: parents insisted. When they got their Ivy noticed something new.
Speaker 1: It was the front door. She and Levi hadn't been
Speaker 1: back since the day Charlotte helped her reverse her magic power.
Speaker 1: Very cool door, said Ivy's mom to Charlotte. As they
Speaker 1: walked into the chocolate shop. Oh thank you, replied Charlotte
Speaker 1: as she looked at Levi and Ivy. Ivy was actually
Speaker 1: a big inspiration for the new door. Oh really, probably
Speaker 1: because she was one of your best customers for so long,
Speaker 1: giggled Ivy's mom. Something like that, answered Charlotte with a smile.
Speaker 1: That all Levi and Ivy could do was laugh as
Speaker 1: they looked back at the new door, which was made
Speaker 1: to look like a big bar of melting chocolate. Thanks
