Are you guys ready 10 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:42,959 Speaker 1: for this amazing adventure? Me too, Let's go. As Miles 11 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:46,880 Speaker 1: was floating at his desk at school, he was completely 12 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 1: mesmerized by his teachers story. You see, it was a 13 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:54,280 Speaker 1: beautiful day and Miles was at school with all of 14 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 1: his other fish friends. Yeah, fishes have schools. Everybody needs 15 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 1: to learn, right. Well, school was just coming to an end, 16 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 1: and their teacher was telling a story, a story that 17 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 1: maybe it's a legend or maybe it's real. I'm not sure, 18 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:17,639 Speaker 1: but it was absolutely amazing. And that is the day 19 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 1: that I got smacked in the face with an alien 20 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 1: cupcake as it sailed through the water the end. All 21 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:31,319 Speaker 1: the students couldn't believe it was their teacher telling a 22 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,839 Speaker 1: joke or was it real. As the bell rang, which 23 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 1: meant school was over, everyone hurried home except Miles. He 24 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 1: had to stay after and ask his teacher if that 25 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 1: was real or not. Excuse me, mister Varnacle, can I 26 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 1: ask a question, said Myles. I have certainly yes, What 27 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 1: is your question? Said mister Barnacle. That story you were 28 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: just telling us, it was absolutely amazing, and I can't 29 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 1: believe that aliens make cupcakes. But anyway, was that real? Like? 30 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 1: I just have to know if aliens are real and 31 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 1: cup if they make cupcakes, and if that story was real, 32 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: said Miles. Mister Barnacle began to shuffle some things around 33 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 1: on his desk. He carefully took his glasses off, revealing 34 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 1: that he did only have one eye. Oh that was 35 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 1: kind of strange, mister Barnacle. He was an old redfish, 36 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 1: and old redfish that had been through so many crazy 37 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:32,240 Speaker 1: adventures and stories, and somehow he only had one eye. 38 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 1: Well was He placed his glasses down on the desk. 39 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 1: He said, well, Miles, you see, not many have ever 40 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:44,079 Speaker 1: believed that story. I'm pretty sure it's real. It happened 41 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 1: a long long time ago, and sometimes as your memories fade, 42 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:53,640 Speaker 1: you're not exactly sure which part is real and which 43 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,920 Speaker 1: part your your brain just filled in some details. What 44 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 1: I can tell you is that I saw flashing lights, 45 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 1: green flashing lights in the sky as I looked up, 46 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 1: got smacked right in the face with a cupcake. Pretty 47 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 1: sure it came from those flashing lights, and it was 48 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 1: absolutely delicious, the most delicious cupcake I never tasted. So 49 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: to answer your question, Miles, I'm not exactly sure, said 50 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,799 Speaker 1: mister Barnacle as he shook his head down. Oh it's okay, 51 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:28,640 Speaker 1: mister Barnacle. I understand sometimes having like a bad memory, 52 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 1: you can't remember exactly, but that is super helpful. I 53 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 1: think I'm gonna spend this weekend looking up at the 54 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: sky and see if I can find any of those 55 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 1: blinking lights. Oh well, just be safe and don't do 56 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: anything crazy. Don't worry, mister Barnacle, said Myles as he 57 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: waved his fin and swam off. Miles was a young 58 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 1: bluefish who is never afraid of an adventure. Do you 59 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 1: like to go unadventures? I do? And what if I 60 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 1: told you that there was a mysterious treasure in your backyard? 61 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 1: Would that be exciting? Yes, thou would be pretty exciting 62 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 1: if someone told me that there was a treasure in 63 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 1: my backyard. Well, what if someone told you that an 64 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 1: alien dropped a cupcake on your face? Would you think 65 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,799 Speaker 1: about checking out if that was real? I definitely would. 66 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 1: That's exactly what Miles did. He ran home and decided 67 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 1: that it was time to act. He needed to build 68 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 1: a spaceship. Wait, how is Miles a bluefish gonna build 69 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: some kind of spaceship to bring him to outer space? 70 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 1: He's a fish that lives in the ocean. That's got 71 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:49,919 Speaker 1: to be impossible. As he arrived back home, his parents said, hello, Hey, Miles, 72 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 1: how is school today? Oh? It was awesome. It was 73 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 1: probably one of the most exciting days ever. And I 74 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,600 Speaker 1: have a lot of work to do this weekend, so 75 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,920 Speaker 1: I'll be up in my room by okay by. His 76 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,480 Speaker 1: parents waved at Miles. It wasn't usual that he came 77 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: home from school so excited, but they did really love 78 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:14,039 Speaker 1: seeing him so happy. As Miles raced up to his room, 79 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 1: he knew that he had a lot of work to do. 80 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 1: If he was going to build some kind of spaceship 81 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 1: that was going to go to actual space. He started 82 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,719 Speaker 1: constructing the form in the shape of the rocket ship 83 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 1: that would bring him there. It was made out of 84 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 1: a whole bunch of plastic boxes that he had found 85 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,720 Speaker 1: in the ocean and some wire to tie it all together. 86 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,160 Speaker 1: He also needed to find something to seal up all 87 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,599 Speaker 1: the cracks to keep the water in. Oh, that's right. 88 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 1: You know how when if we were building a spaceship 89 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 1: to go to space, we would want to keep all 90 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 1: our air in the spaceship, right, Yeah, because we breathe there. 91 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 1: And Miles, since he's coming from the ocean, I think 92 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 1: a bluefish would definitely need to make sure water stays 93 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:02,480 Speaker 1: inside of a spaceship. As the day went on, Miles 94 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:06,280 Speaker 1: was working very hard on this project. He did take 95 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:08,160 Speaker 1: a little bit of a break to come down and 96 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 1: eat dinner, but then it was right back to it. 97 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,839 Speaker 1: He was having so much fun building this spaceship that 98 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: he didn't even realize that it was about time for bed. Jill, 99 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 1: a whole bunch of yawns just came out of nowhere 100 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 1: and attacked him and made him really sleepy. Have you 101 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,599 Speaker 1: ever had a yawn come out of nowhere and it 102 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 1: just makes you super sleepy? Yeah? That's exactly what happened 103 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 1: to Miles. He brushed his teeth to get rid of 104 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 1: all those sugar bugs, because even fish have sugar bugs 105 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:43,719 Speaker 1: on their teeth that they have to brush off before 106 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 1: they go to sleep too. As he was tucked into bed, 107 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:51,720 Speaker 1: he fell fast asleep. But that night his dreams were 108 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:55,280 Speaker 1: all about the adventure that lied ahead of him, an 109 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,359 Speaker 1: adventure that would lead him to the answer of the 110 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,839 Speaker 1: question he searched for. Do you remember the question that 111 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 1: all this adventure is about solving? Yes, well it's two one. 112 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 1: Are aliens really up there? In two? Do they make 113 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 1: delicious cupcakes? Well? All the dreams that Miles had that 114 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 1: night they told them the answers to the question. They 115 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 1: the dreams told them that aliens and cupcakes were real, 116 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 1: But it was about tomorrow's adventure that would lead him 117 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 1: to solving this true mystery. Are his dreams correct? Are 118 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 1: aliens and cupcakes from space true? We'll have to wait 119 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 1: and see what happens on the next episode of Kids 120 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 1: Short Stories.
