He didn't know what to do. 16 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:56,279 Speaker 1: I gotta get out of here, but I can't leave 17 00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 1: Joey behind, all right. I gotta wait till the alien's 18 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,360 Speaker 1: not looking and then grab Joey and get out of here. 19 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 1: You see, the alien was pretty small himself. It was 20 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 1: just a couple inches tall, but standing next to the 21 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:14,200 Speaker 1: size of Joey, Joey was like a small bug. So 22 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 1: if the alien was able to change everyone into be 23 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 1: the same size as Joey, that would be absolutely terrible. 24 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 1: A few minutes later, the alien went back into his spaceship, 25 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 1: and AJ knew this was the moment that he had 26 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 1: to move. He ran over to Joey and carefully put 27 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,480 Speaker 1: his hands down in between the grass. Joey hopped up 28 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 1: onto his right hand, and AJ cupped its clothes to 29 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,199 Speaker 1: keep him safe as he took off running. It's gonna 30 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:45,679 Speaker 1: be okay, Joey, We'll figure this out. But are you okay? Like, 31 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 1: does it hurt to be small? Tell me what's going 32 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 1: on in your mind? Well, uh Laurel doesn't hurt. Let's 33 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 1: just let's just uh laa far astrange little smaller than 34 00:01:58,800 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 1: a blood of cross. 35 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 2: Does my sound rrd? 36 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 1: AJ didn't know what to say. Uh no, it sounds 37 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 1: totally normal to me. Don't worry. I'm sure we'll get 38 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 1: this figured out any second. As AJ was running up 39 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 1: the hill, so many thoughts were racing through his mind. 40 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 1: What would you do if one of your best friends 41 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,959 Speaker 1: got shrunk down to the size as small as Joey? 42 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 1: That would be That would be pretty terrifying. If I'm honest, 43 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 1: if my best friend shrunk down to that little I 44 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,799 Speaker 1: would not know what to do, but I would have 45 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 1: to look out for them. AJ made it up to 46 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,640 Speaker 1: where their bikes were in their walkie talkies, and he 47 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 1: called into HQ s HQ, HQ, this is AJ. 48 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,920 Speaker 2: I have an emergency coming over. 49 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 1: Sh This is HQAJ. What is your emergency? 50 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 2: Sh? 51 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,959 Speaker 1: I don't know how to explain this, but I think 52 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: we just watched some kind of alien spaceship crash land 53 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 1: into the grass down there, and then he shot some 54 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:05,399 Speaker 1: kind of laser at Joey and now Joey is the 55 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 1: size of a cricket. Over shit, there was a long pause. 56 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 1: I don't think HQ knew what to say. 57 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 3: Sh. 58 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 1: Come again, AJ, can you clarify exactly what you just said? 59 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 1: Did you say that Special Agent Joey is the size 60 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 1: of a cricket? 61 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:25,800 Speaker 2: Sh? 62 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:30,640 Speaker 1: Yes, HQ, yes, confirm that is what I said. Joey 63 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 1: is the size of a cricket because this alien, who's 64 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 1: also pretty small, blasted some kind of laser at him. 65 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 2: I need help now, sh. 66 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 1: All right, AJ, take a deep breath. We'll send a 67 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: team there right now. Just hang tight. Sh AJ's mind 68 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 1: was still racing with all these different emotions and ideas, 69 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 1: and one idea stuck out to him. Huh, I wonder 70 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: if there's a wave like that alien is so small, 71 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: I bet I could make him make Joey back to 72 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 1: its normal size. But how am I gonna defend myself 73 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 1: against that laser? AJ thought to himself, do you guys 74 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 1: have any ideas of how you could defend yourself against 75 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 1: a laser? Like? Is there anything that a laser might 76 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 1: bounce off of, like reflect off of? Hmmm? Because if 77 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,160 Speaker 1: if he could hold up like a shield, maybe there 78 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 1: is a way that he could get closer to the 79 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 1: alien and AJ wouldn't get shrunk down. Filmly he could 80 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 1: find a way to block that laser. All of a sudden, 81 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:40,160 Speaker 1: AJ had an idea. Joey, all right, I'm gonna put 82 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: you down next to your bike. Just stay here, don't move. 83 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,679 Speaker 1: I'm gonna ride my bike home. I'm gonna go grab something. 84 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 1: I'll be right back or call so hurl up, I'll 85 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:56,160 Speaker 1: floor l vlner wor dwn slur very small hurl shouted Joey. Yeah, 86 00:04:56,279 --> 00:05:00,919 Speaker 1: I'll go fast. AJ took off riding his bike towards home. 87 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,040 Speaker 1: As he got to his home, he dropped his bike 88 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 1: in the front yard and raced in the front door. 89 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 2: Mom Ma, Ma, Ma, Ma, Ma, Mom, are you here, Mom? 90 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:14,600 Speaker 1: Yes, I'm I'm over here.

I don't know if I have time to explain. 94 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: Please tell me, said his mom. Oh, you're probably not 95 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,280 Speaker 1: gonna leave me, but I'll give it a try. There's 96 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,039 Speaker 1: an alien spaceship that crashed down in the grass, and 97 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,599 Speaker 1: then this alien came out and blasted Joey with a lasers, 98 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 1: shrank Joey down to the size of a cricket, and 99 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,040 Speaker 1: now I need to find a way to save him. 100 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 1: His mom giggled, because AJ and Joey they always have 101 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 1: the best of fun with their imaginations. Wow, you guys 102 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: sound like you're having fun. Yeah, here's a mirror you 103 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 1: can use. Just be careful with it. Okay, thanks, bye bye, 104 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 1: AJ shouted as he grabbed the mirror and out the 105 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 1: door he raced. AJ hopped on his bike and carefully 106 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 1: was holding the mirror and riding as fast as he could. 107 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,719 Speaker 1: He had to get back to where Joey was. Was 108 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 1: not safe to leave Joey alone. 109 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 2: Joey, lemme here, where are you. 110 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 1: I'm I'm hoddling a little aboutle Oh good, that was smart.

He picked up Joey and placed him in 114 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,280 Speaker 1: his pocket. That was a pretty safe place for Joey 115 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 1: to be, at least for a little while. Aj carefully 116 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: crept down the hillside, holding the mirror in front of 117 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,599 Speaker 1: him like a giant shield. He had to be careful 118 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 1: to not drop it because then it would shatter everywhere. 119 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,720 Speaker 1: He'd be totally exposed to the laser and his mom 120 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:55,279 Speaker 1: would not be happy about that. Up ahead, he could 121 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: see where that alien spaceship was still sitting there.
