Levi, are 12 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,120 Speaker 1: you getting the playroom ready? Called out Levi's mom from 13 00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 1: her office. Max will be here in five minutes. Already, mom, 14 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,240 Speaker 1: Levi called back, as he said up the last piece 15 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 1: of his Royal Rally Race car racetrack set. Levi could 16 00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 1: have not been more excited that his friend Max was 17 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 1: coming over to play that day. That was because they 18 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 1: hadn't been able to play together at school that week 19 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 1: because it had been raining and that meant indoor recess. 20 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 1: Since they were in different classes, they only got to 21 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,760 Speaker 1: see each other at lunch and when they were walking 22 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 1: in the halls. Max loved race cars, and Levi had 23 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,400 Speaker 1: been anxiously waiting to show him the cool new race 24 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:21,120 Speaker 1: car track that his grandpa had just bought him. It 25 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 1: was the best racetrack set ever, with amazing looking metal 26 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 1: race cars, blinking lights, real race cars, sound effects, and 27 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,039 Speaker 1: handheld steering wheels that you used to control the cars 28 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 1: as they zipped around the track. It even came with 29 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 1: a checker flag to wave at the end of the race. 30 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,400 Speaker 1: He's gonna love this, whispered Levi to himself as he 31 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 1: did a little test lap before running out to the 32 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,960 Speaker 1: living room. As soon as he flogged on the couch 33 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 1: to wait for Max, the doorbell rang. Max shouted Levi 34 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 1: with a big smile as he leapt over the back 35 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 1: of the couch and ran to the door. As soon 36 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 1: as Max stepped inside, Levi I was ready to do 37 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 1: their secret handshake and start a wonderful play date. However, 38 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 1: Max seemed to have a different idea of how the 39 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 1: day would go. He looked less than excited to see Levi, 40 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: which was really surprising to him. But it was morning 41 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 1: after all, and Levi just brushed off, thinking Max was 42 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,360 Speaker 1: maybe a little tired and needed to warm up to 43 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,080 Speaker 1: the play date. Max was not a morning person, which 44 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 1: Levi knew from having sleepovers at his house. Hey, buddy, 45 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 1: I have something awesome to show you in my playroom, 46 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 1: said Levi, trying to shake Max out of his funky mood. 47 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 1: But Max just gave Levi an unenthusiastic thumbs up and 48 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 1: followed him down the hall. Bye, mom, said Max. Bye honey. 49 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,639 Speaker 1: I hope you enjoy your play date, said Max's mom. Bye, 50 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 1: Max's mom, and don't worry, he'll have a great time 51 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 1: when he sees what's in here. Call back Levi as 52 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,679 Speaker 1: he and Max disappeared into the playroom. Levi's mom didn't 53 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,639 Speaker 1: think much more about Max's unenthusiastic reaction when he entered 54 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 1: the house. Knowing that Max and Levi were best friends, 55 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,080 Speaker 1: she was sure he would tell Levi what was on 56 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 1: his mind. They'd talk it out, Max would feel better, 57 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,959 Speaker 1: and they'd be playing in no time. Levi was a 58 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,079 Speaker 1: very supportive and kind friend, so his mom knew he 59 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: would find a way to turn Max's day around. However, 60 00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: what she and Levi would learn is that Max needed 61 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 1: to want to turn his day around too. Nothing Levi 62 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:08,919 Speaker 1: did would get him out of his bad mood. Max, 63 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 1: Stay right there. I have a big surprise for you 64 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: that you're going to love, said Levi as he ran 65 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:15,519 Speaker 1: around to the other side of the couch in the 66 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 1: playroom where he had the Royal Rally Race Card racetracks 67 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 1: set up. What, asked Max, who looks like he was 68 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,360 Speaker 1: a million miles away? I said, stay right there. I 69 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 1: have a big surprise for you. I have a new 70 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 1: toy that you're going to love, said Levi. He was 71 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 1: so excited to show Max's new racecar track that he 72 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 1: wasn't even paying attention to the way his friend was acting. 73 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 1: Max closed his eyes and Levi turned on the racetrack 74 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 1: reving the fake car engines. Do you know what that is? 75 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 1: Asked Levi with a huge smile on his face. Then, 76 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,839 Speaker 1: instead of Max getting really excited like Levi I thought 77 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 1: he would, Max seemed to get upset. Are you kidding me? 78 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 1: Said Max as he stomped his way over to Levi 79 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: and saw the Royal Rally Race Card racetrack. That's unbelievable. 80 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 1: I know, it's awesome, said Levi. Do you want to play? 81 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 1: Levi went to hand Max one of the steering wheel controllers. 82 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 1: As the lights around the racetrack blinked on and off, 83 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 1: showing that the race was about to start. Levi was 84 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: so excited he didn't notice that Max's reaction to the 85 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 1: racetrack was not of happiness and excitement. This is ridiculous, 86 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,239 Speaker 1: said Max in a huff as he grabbed the steering 87 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: wheel controller out of Levi's hand. It was at that 88 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: point that Levi realized something was wrong. Max, what's going on? 89 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,479 Speaker 1: Are you mad? I thought you'd be super excited to 90 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:36,840 Speaker 1: race with me, said Levi with a look of surprise 91 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,719 Speaker 1: on his face. It's great, I guess, said Max's he 92 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,159 Speaker 1: stared at the racetrack. Yeah it is, but you seem 93 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 1: really mad instead of really excited, said Levi. It's just 94 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 1: you always get everything you want, snapped Maxis he threw 95 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,840 Speaker 1: the steering wheel controller on the couch. Livi was very 96 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 1: surprised by Max's reaction, but just thought he was having 97 00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: a bad day. Instead of getting mad at his friend, 98 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: he decided to ask Max what he wanted to do. 99 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,039 Speaker 1: It was clear to Levi that he thought Max would 100 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 1: be more excited about the racing game than he was 101 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 1: no one's fault, just the wrong game for this play day, 102 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 1: is what Levi thought. Hey Max, how about you pick 103 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 1: what we do first, said Levi. Maybe after we can 104 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:22,040 Speaker 1: play with my race cars. Well thanks for finally asking 105 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,280 Speaker 1: what I would like to do, said Max in an 106 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 1: angry tone. It took you long enough, Levi. I really 107 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,719 Speaker 1: didn't know what was going on that was making Max 108 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 1: Ax so upset and bossy. But Max was his best 109 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,239 Speaker 1: friend and he was going to be there to figure 110 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 1: it out, work through the problem, and hopefully help him 111 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 1: get into a better mood. Sorry, Max, said Levi. I 112 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,679 Speaker 1: should have asked you what you wanted to do first. 113 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,720 Speaker 1: I really want something to eat, said Max, flopping down 114 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 1: on the couch. Oh okay, said Levi. Well my mom 115 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 1: wasn't planning on having lunch for a little bit, but 116 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,040 Speaker 1: maybe I can get you a snack. I want an apple, 117 00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: said Max. Levi quickly left the playroom and walked into 118 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:06,159 Speaker 1: the kitchen. Is everything okay in there? Asked Levi's mom. 119 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 1: It sounded like Max wasn't using the nicest tone with you. 120 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,360 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he's fine, said Levi. Just a little angry, 121 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,159 Speaker 1: isn't that? Let you and dad call it when Ivy 122 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,160 Speaker 1: and I are both upset and moody because we're hungry. 123 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 1: That's all right, giggled Levi's mom. This should help, said 124 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 1: Levi's He grabbed an apple from the counter and ran 125 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 1: back to the playroom, but before he got there, the 126 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 1: doorbell rang, so we went to answer it. Grandpa, Levi 127 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,599 Speaker 1: cheered as he opened the door and saw him standing there. 128 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 1: I didn't know you were stopping over, Hi, buddy, said Grandpa, 129 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,919 Speaker 1: giving Levi a hug. I realized that I forgot to 130 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: give you the extra battery pack that goes with your 131 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,279 Speaker 1: racetrack when I dropped it off last weekend. I wanted 132 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,159 Speaker 1: to make sure you had this one, so while you're playing, 133 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 1: you always have new batteries charging and ready to go. 134 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 1: That way, you don't have to miss a minute of racing. Thanks, Grandpa, 135 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 1: said Levi, taking the battery pack from his hands. My 136 00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 1: friend Max is over now and we're going to play 137 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 1: in just a little bit. Mom's in the kitchen if 138 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,480 Speaker 1: you want to say hi, Levi. I ran off to 139 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,920 Speaker 1: the playroom as his grandpa walked into the kitchen to 140 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 1: visit Levi's mom. Here you go, Max, said Levi as 141 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: he ran back into the playroom and tossed the apple 142 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 1: to his friend. I don't really want this anymore, said Max, 143 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 1: as he caught the apple midair and tossed it back 144 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 1: to Levi. Okay, said Levi, sounding a bit confused, but 145 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 1: not wanting to ruin the play date. Levi asked again 146 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 1: what Max wanted to do first. Let's play that race 147 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 1: car game, I guess, said Max, still not sounding very 148 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 1: excited about it, but live I couldn't have been happier 149 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 1: because he had been waiting all week to share this 150 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 1: game with his friend. As he was giving Max a 151 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 1: quick rundown on how to drive the race car, Max 152 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 1: got upset again. I get it, LEVI. Do you really 153 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 1: think you're the only one that's ever played a race 154 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 1: car game before, asked Max in a huff. No, said Levi. 155 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: It just took me a little while to get the 156 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 1: hang of steering the cars, so I thought i'd help 157 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 1: you out. I don't need any help, said Max. To 158 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 1: start the race, Levi counted down and pressed the start button. 159 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 1: The blinking light sparkled all over the track as an 160 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 1: announcer's voice blared through the mini speaker that sat at 161 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 1: the starting line. The voice announced the start of the race, 162 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 1: and the cars were off. The announcer then gave a 163 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 1: play by play as Levi sped ahead of Max, clearly 164 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 1: in the lead. Very quickly, Levi could tell that Max 165 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 1: didn't like that. Max became very upset again and started 166 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 1: stomping his feet and waving his arms around as he 167 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 1: tried to understand how to use the steering wheel controller. 168 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 1: His car was zigzagging around the track, stopping and starting 169 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 1: as it bumped off the plastic walls that lined the 170 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 1: side of the track. And the winner is the car 171 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:40,560 Speaker 1: in lane two, boom the announcer's voices. Levi's car crossed 172 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 1: the finish line. You cheated, yelled Max as he threw 173 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 1: the steering whell controller on the ground. Hey Max, watch out, 174 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: yelled Levi back at him. No longer able to keep 175 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 1: his emotions inside. This is brand new and I don't 176 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:57,200 Speaker 1: want to break it. Don't be so dramatic, said Max 177 00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 1: as he walked over to sit on the couch. You 178 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 1: know what, I think I'd like to go home, Levi. 179 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 1: I was shocked, but at this point something had changed 180 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 1: about Max. He didn't just look upset, he looks sad. 181 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 1: Leave I wanted to help, but he just didn't know how.
