Speaker 1: one of my friends, Slater. Hey Slater, he sent me

00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 1: an awesome idea for a story, and you can too.

Speaker 1: This one's super crazy about a cotton candy volcano. Are

15
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: you guys ready for today's adventure?

16
00:00:55,080 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 2: Me too? Let's go or pearls Rubble. I've been wortting

17
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 2: hard on this tuner.

18
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: That's final finnel stut of work. The world were love.

19
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 2: Cotton Tunnel Forever.

20
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: That was the voice of Tickles, the troll. Tickles lived

21
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:28,479
Speaker 1: underground and he was a little troll that was obsessed

22
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: with cotton candy. I like cotton candy to you, what

23
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 1: is your favorite color of cotton candy? Or if you

24
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: could make cotton candy any color, what would it be?

25
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: I think I love I really like the blue and

26
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: the pink when they're mixed together. That's kind of a

27
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: fun one. Well, Tickles was so obsessed with cotton candy

28
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: that he had discovered a way to make a volcano

29
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: that launches out cotton candy. I know that sounds pretty amazing, right, Well,

30
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 1: unfortunately this story takes a turn for the worst. Slater

31
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,079
Speaker 1: was working on riding his bike at home. He had

32
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: been practicing for a really long time and finally could

33
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: go super duper fast.

34
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 2: Woo.

35
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 1: As he zoomed down the street and turned into his driveway,

36
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: he pretended that he was in a race car. He

37
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: was even really good at slamming on his back brakes

38
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: and sliding his tire.

39
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 2: WHOA, that was a cool one.

40
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: Slater was also on the spy team, and he used

41
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 1: his bike as a part of his spy missions. Sometimes

42
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: jetpacks are great, but sometimes bikes are better. Oh, I

43
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: gotta go check that message. He ran inside to a

44
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: secure location his bedroom and pressed the message because he

45
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 1: couldn't let any of the other kids in the neighborhood

46
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 1: hear this secret message. So later, this is HQ, something

47
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 1: unusual has happened in your neighborhood. A volcano is starting

48
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 1: to grow under the ground. A volcano, shouted Slater. Yes,

49
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: a volcano. You need to evacuate the entire neighborhood before

50
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: it erupts all of its lava.

51
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:34,639
Speaker 2: Okay, let's go.

52
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: Slater started running house to house telling everyone about the

53
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: volcano that was growing. They could see it. It was

54
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: growing over by the park that was in his neighborhood.

55
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: It was coming out of the ground pretty quickly, and

56
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: in just a few minutes it was now bigger than

57
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: houses and growing every second. Slater had spread the news

58
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: to the whole neighborhood to get out of there as

59
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: fast as possible. They all ran up a mountain nearby

60
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,839
Speaker 1: to stay from at a safe distance, but they could

61
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: watch the volcano. All of a sudden, the ground started

62
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: to shake.

63
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 2: It's about to blow. Take cover, shouted Slater.

64
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 1: Everyone fell on the ground and covered their heads with

65
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: their hands. The volcano erupted. And what is that. It's

66
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 1: not lava, shouted Slater. They couldn't believe it. They didn't

67
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: know what it was, but it was pink and it

68
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: was floating down from above. It was like clouds. It

69
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: was a lot of this pink stuff as it gently

70
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,679
Speaker 1: fell down to the ground, even up to the mountain where.

71
00:04:59,480 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 2: All the people.

72
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 1: Slater was the first to touch it as he poked

73
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 1: it with a stick. The stick did not melt, so

74
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 1: he knew it wasn't lava. All right, everyone, it's not

75
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: gonna burn you. But I'm not sure what it is.

76
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: Slater knelt down and smelled. It smells like cotton candy.

77
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 1: Slater grabbed him with his hand and licked a tiny

78
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: piece with his tongue.

79
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 2: In guys, it's a cotton candy volcano. Wooooo.

80
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:38,359
Speaker 1: Everyone erupted into screaming with excitement. They couldn't believe it.

81
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 1: This was like the best party ever. They thought this

82
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,719
Speaker 1: was gonna be the worst day in their whole lives

83
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:50,119
Speaker 1: of having a real volcano erupt in their neighborhood. But now,

84
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: because it's a cotton candy one, everyone was so excited.

85
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: They ran back down to their houses because their hearts

86
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:01,359
Speaker 1: were completely full of cotton candy. They started to gather

87
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 1: it in bags. The ground started to shake, and the

88
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: volcano erupted more cotton candy.

89
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 2: Wooo.

90
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 1: Everyone was so excited for more, but it was starting

91
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 1: to get pretty deep. The cotton candy was now as

92
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:24,280
Speaker 1: high as their belly button. WHOA, that is a lot

93
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:28,280
Speaker 1: of cotton candy all over the neighborhood. Pretty soon, by

94
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: the end of the day, the cotton candy was taller

95
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 1: than their houses. Slater, what are we gonna do? I

96
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: can't even see you. Slater and all of his friends

97
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 1: were standing just a few feet apart from each other,

98
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: but they were standing inside of cotton candy. They could

99
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 1: barely even see each other. All right, guys, I need

100
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 1: you all to go back home. Something isn't right here.

101
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 1: Slater ran back to his house because he knew this

102
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 1: could be trouble. Something that started as the best day

103
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: ever might end very badly. Don't you think it would

104
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: be the best day ever to have a cotton candy

105
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: volcano in your neighborhood?

106
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 2: WHOA, Yes, I think that would be.

107
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: The best day. But what if it never turned off?

108
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:20,239
Speaker 1: What if it kept shooting out cotton candy like forever

109
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: and ever? Oh dear, that could be bad. Slater called

110
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: it in to HQ HQ, come in. We have an

111
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: emergency over what's going on?

112
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 2: Slater.

113
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: We heard that it's a cotton candy volcano. That's amazing. Yeah,

114
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 1: I know it sounds amazing, but it's not stopping. Can

115
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: you pull up some reports to see how much cotton

116
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: candy is underground? HQ was able to pull up the

117
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 1: satellite feed which was gonna do an X ray of

118
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: the ground surrounding the volcano. They could measure to see

119
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: how much cotton candy was underd and how long it

120
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 1: would continue erupting. Slater, this is not good. We're sending

121
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: you the report now. Slater received the report of the

122
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 1: X ray of underground volcano and oh no, based on

123
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 1: my calculations, said Slater, this might keep erupting for weeks

124
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 1: or months or forever. Don dun dum, oh parl. This

125
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 1: is the prestel of all, said Tickles the Troll. He

126
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 1: was so happy to spread his cotton candy love with

127
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: the whole wide world. He was running around celebrating his

128
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:52,199
Speaker 1: lifelong project. Woo ou holds la ouch?

129
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 2: Who is that? Said Slater? Marlon's tuck Carls. Where the

130
00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:59,079
Speaker 2: little dorungsil are?

131
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 1: Well, I'm trying to figure out how to turn off

132
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 1: this volcano, said Slater. Turn it off? What a little

133
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 1: charting about.

134
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 2: This is the best thing in the whole.

135
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 1: Wild world, shouted Tickles. Slater and Tickles then talked for

136
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 1: a very long time. Slater was describing how this volcano

137
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: would now never turn off. Yeah, and you see that's

138
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 1: why we have to turn it off. Otherwise the whole

139
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: world is gonna get covered in cotton candy, way too

140
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 1: much for people to eat, and now it's gonna get dangerous.

141
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 2: Uh oh wow, that does sound.

142
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: Well. Listen off, Putson underground, but turn it off the

143
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: n turn it back on over a gum.

144
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 2: Oh.

145
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,839
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry, Tickles, said Slater. I know you've worked

146
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: so hard on this project, but I think that's the

147
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: right thing to do. Or tall Tickles ran down in

148
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 1: a cave to his underground home and turned off the

149
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:07,559
Speaker 1: volcano for good. Wow, Tickles, I know that was so

150
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 1: hard for you to do, but you saved the city

151
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: and maybe even the whole world, said Slater. Oh, Laurel

152
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: bro I don't just don't know what to do with

153
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 1: all those cotton candle Now. Well, I think I have

154
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 1: an idea, said Slater that weekend.

155
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 2: Slater tickles and the whole.

156
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 1: City through a ginormous cotton candy party. They had to

157
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 1: do something with all this cotton candy and so they

158
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: made a party out of it. Whoo, that would be awesome.

159
