Are you guys ready 10 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:42,919 Speaker 1: for this amazing adventure? Me too, Let's go. As Miles 11 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,800 Speaker 1: was floating at his desk at school, he was completely 12 00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:50,720 Speaker 1: mesmerized by his teacher's story. You see, it was a 13 00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 1: beautiful day and Miles was at school with all of 14 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:58,760 Speaker 1: his other fish friends. Yeah, fishes have schools. Everybody needs 15 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 1: to learn, right. Well, school was just coming to an end, 16 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:08,679 Speaker 1: and their teacher was telling a story, a story that 17 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:13,120 Speaker 1: maybe it's a legend or maybe it's real. I'm not sure, 18 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 1: but it was absolutely amazing. And that is the day 19 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 1: that I got smacked in the face with an alien 20 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 1: cupcake as it sailed through the water the end. All 21 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 1: the students couldn't believe it was their teacher telling a 22 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,760 Speaker 1: joke or was it real. As the bell rang, which 23 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:39,680 Speaker 1: meant school was over, everyone hurried home except Miles. He 24 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 1: had to stay after and ask his teacher if that 25 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,760 Speaker 1: was real or not. Excuse me, mister Varnacle, can I 26 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 1: ask a question, said Myles. I have certainly yes, What 27 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 1: is your question? Said mister Barnacle. That story you were 28 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 1: just telling us, it was absolutely amazing, and I can't 29 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 1: believe that aliens make cupcakes. But anyway, was that real? Like? 30 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 1: I just have to know if aliens are real and 31 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 1: cup if they make cupcakes, and if that story was real, 32 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 1: said Miles. Mister Barnacle began to shuffle some things around 33 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 1: on his desk. He carefully took his glasses off, revealing 34 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:21,080 Speaker 1: that he did only have one eye. Oh that was 35 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:25,239 Speaker 1: kind of strange, mister Barnacle. He was an old redfish, 36 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,239 Speaker 1: and old redfish that had been through so many crazy 37 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:32,240 Speaker 1: adventures and stories, and somehow he only had one eye. 38 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 1: Well was He placed his glasses down on the desk. 39 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 1: He said, well, Miles, you see, not many have ever 40 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 1: believed that story. 41 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure it's real. It happened a long long 42 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 2: time ago, and sometimes as your memories fade, you're not 43 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:54,079 Speaker 2: exactly sure which part is real and which part your 44 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 2: your brain just filled in some details. What I can 45 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:03,359 Speaker 2: tell you is that I saw flashing lights, green flashing 46 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 2: lights in the sky as I looked up, got smacked 47 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 2: right in the face with a cupcake. Pretty sure it 48 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:14,079 Speaker 2: came from those flashing lights, and it was absolutely delicious, 49 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 2: the most delicious cupcake I never tasted. So to answer 50 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 2: your question, Miles, I'm not exactly sure, said mister Barnacle 51 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 2: as he shook his head down. Oh it's okay, mister Barnacle. 52 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,920 Speaker 1: I understand sometimes having like a bad memory, you can't 53 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 1: remember exactly, but that is super helpful. I think I'm 54 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 1: gonna spend this weekend looking up at the sky and 55 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 1: see if I can find any of those blinking lights. 56 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 1: Oh well, just be safe and don't do anything crazy. 57 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 1: Don't worry, mister Barnacle, said Myles as he waved his 58 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 1: fin and swam off. Miles was a young bluefish who 59 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 1: is never afraid of an adventure. Do you like to 60 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 1: go unadventures? I do? And what if I told you 61 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 1: that there was a mysterious treasure in your backyard? Would 62 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 1: that be exciting? Yes, thou would be pretty exciting if 63 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 1: someone told me that there was a treasure in my backyard. Well, 64 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 1: what if someone told you that an alien dropped a 65 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:19,160 Speaker 1: cupcake on your face? Would you think about checking out 66 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 1: if that was real? I definitely would. That's exactly what 67 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: Miles did. He ran home and decided that it was 68 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 1: time to act. He needed to build a spaceship. Wait, 69 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 1: how is Miles a bluefish? Gonna build some kind of 70 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 1: spaceship to bring him this outer space? He's a fish 71 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: that lives in the ocean. That's gotta be impossible. As 72 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,840 Speaker 1: he arrived back home, his parents said, hello, Hey, Miles, 73 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 1: how is school today? Oh? It was awesome. It was 74 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 1: probably one of the most exciting days ever. And I 75 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 1: have a lot of work to do this weekend, so 76 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:03,360 Speaker 1: I'll be up in room by okay by. His parents 77 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 1: waved at Miles. It wasn't usual that he came home 78 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 1: from school so excited, but they did really love seeing 79 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 1: him so happy. As Miles raced up to his room, 80 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 1: he knew that he had a lot of work to do. 81 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:18,599 Speaker 1: If he was going to build some kind of spaceship 82 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 1: that was going to go to actual space. He started 83 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: constructing the form in the shape of the rocket ship 84 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 1: that would bring him there. It was made out of 85 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,280 Speaker 1: a whole bunch of plastic boxes that he had found 86 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 1: in the ocean and some wire to tie it all together. 87 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 1: He also needed to find something to seal up all 88 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 1: the cracks to keep the water in. Oh, that's right. 89 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,720 Speaker 1: You know how when if we were building a spaceship 90 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 1: to go to space, we would want to keep all 91 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 1: our air in the spaceship, right, Yeah, because we breathe there. 92 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 1: And Miles, since he's coming from the ocean, I think 93 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 1: a bluefish would definitely need to make sure water stays 94 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 1: inside of a spaceship. As the day went on, Miles 95 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 1: was working very hard on this project. He did take 96 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 1: a little bit of a break to come down and 97 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,840 Speaker 1: eat dinner, but then it was right back to it. 98 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 1: He was having so much fun building this spaceship that 99 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 1: he didn't even realize that it was about time for 100 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:24,479 Speaker 1: bed oo jie. A whole bunch of yawns just came 101 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:28,280 Speaker 1: out of nowhere and attacked him and made him really sleepy. 102 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 1: Have you ever had a yawn come out of nowhere 103 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 1: and it just makes you super sleepy? 104 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:33,719 Speaker 2: Yeah? 105 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 1: That's exactly what happened to Miles. He brushed his teeth 106 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 1: to get rid of all those sugar bugs, because even 107 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 1: fish have sugar bugs on their teeth that they have 108 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: to brush off before they go to sleep too. As 109 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 1: he was tucked into bed, he fell fast asleep. But 110 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:53,360 Speaker 1: that night, his dreams were all about the adventure that 111 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 1: lied ahead of him, an adventure that would lead him 112 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 1: to the answer of the question he searched for. Do 113 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,840 Speaker 1: you remember the question that all this adventure is about solving? Yes, 114 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 1: well it's two one. Are aliens really up there? In two? 115 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 1: Do they make delicious cupcakes? Well? All the dreams that 116 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 1: Miles had that night they told them the answer to 117 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 1: the question. They the dreams told them that aliens and 118 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 1: cupcakes were real, But it was about tomorrow's adventure that 119 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 1: would lead him to solving this true mystery. Are his 120 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 1: dreams correct? Are aliens and cupcakes from space true? We'll 121 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 1: have to wait and see what happens on the next 122 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 1: episode of Kids Short Stories.
