00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:45,239
Speaker 1: Let's go. It was a beautiful day and Weston and

11
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,839
Speaker 1: his friends were at the skate park. He loved to

12
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 1: go skateboarding or scootering or rollerblading with his friends all

13
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:58,319
Speaker 1: the time, but today a skateboard day. Have you ever

14
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 1: been on a skateboard before? Holy smokes, that can be

15
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 1: kind of hard to stand on. I'm I'm not very

16
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 1: good at it. I don't have the right balance. But oh,

17
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 1: you're pretty good at it? Oh wow? Well Weston was

18
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: really good at it, and so we're all of his friends.

19
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 1: Hey Weston, check this out. One of his friends launched

20
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: off of a jump and did an awesome move dude,

21
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: that was so cool, shouted Weston. Alright, mine turned, guys,

22
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: look out. Weston dropped in on the half pipe and

23
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 1: soared through the air with a sick move. Western that

24
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: was insane, shouted his friends. Trip drip, drip. Oh no,

25
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: it's starting the rain. All right, guys, Well maybe we

26
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: can hang out tomorrow. I'll see you by, Weston shouted

27
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: his friends. It was starting to rain and it was

28
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: time to go home. It's not fun to skateboard in

29
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: the rain, and it can be extra super slippery, so

30
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 1: that's also not a good part. As he was riding home,

31
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: he noticed that his front trucks were just way too

32
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 1: loose the trucks. That's the part where the wheels fit

33
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: on the trucks are the middle part that attached to

34
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 1: the bottom of the skateboard and the wheels attached to

35
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,799
Speaker 1: the trucks. It's kind of like the axle. Holy smokes,

36
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 1: I got a tight knees when I get home, said

37
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 1: Weston as he pulled in on his driveway and zoomed

38
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: into his garage. He parked his skateboard in a nice

39
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: open spot. He made it just in time because the

40
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: rain was now pouring. S can you make the sound

41
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: of rain. Yeah, well it was pouring rain and he

42
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 1: just made it back in time to his garage. That

43
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 1: was a close one, said Weston. He grabbed some screwdrivers

44
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: and started working on those trucks on the bottom of

45
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: a skateboard. Weston, is that you, Weston shouted his mom. Yeah,

46
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: I'm in the garage. Oh. Perfect, Well, just come inside

47
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: and wash up because it's time to eat. Can I

48
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: finish making the adjustments on my trucks on the skateboard? No,

49
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 1: Western I need you to come in right now, So

50
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 1: just leave that there, lead the screwdriver right there, and

51
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: you can finish it after we eat. Come on, is

52
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,679
Speaker 1: that his mom? Weston stood up and dropped his screwdriver

53
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: right next to the skateboard. As he came inside. Oh,

54
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: he smelled a very delicious What is that is that? Lasagna? Mom? Yes?

55
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: It is. Come on, Weston loved lasagna. Have you ever

56
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: had lasagna before? Oh it's so good. It's got like

57
00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: pasta sauce and cheese and the pasta noodle part, and

58
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: oh it's so good. Weston washed his hands and sat

59
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: at the table and his family ate dinner together. Dinner

60
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: was so good, he almost forgot about a skateboard still

61
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: sitting in the garage, and then he heard his walkie Weston,

62
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: are you there? Can I please be excused? I ate

63
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: oh my dinner, and I think my friends are needing

64
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: my help or something. Yes, Weston, just put your dishes

65
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: in the sink and then clean up and then you

66
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 1: can go. Okay, thank you so much. Weston dropped all

67
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: of his dishes in the sink and washed them off,

68
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: and then raced over to where his walkie talkie was

69
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: in the other room. Hey, guys, yeah, I'm here. What's up? Dude?

70
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 1: You won't believe this. I think there's some kind of

71
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: skateboard monster, like all over the neighborhood. All of our

72
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: skateboards are missing. There what? He jumped off the couch

73
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 1: and raced over to the garage. He had to check

74
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: and make sure that his skateboard was there. And yeah,

75
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 1: west and yours has probably gone to As Weston burst

76
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: into the garage, Wait, no, my skateboard is right there. Guys,

77
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 1: Wait what are you talking about? What? That's not fair, Western.

78
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: All of our skateboards, every single one of ours, has disappeared,

79
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 1: and Johnny is convinced that there's some kind of skateboard

80
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 1: monster eating them all. Yeah, Weston, I totally I swear

81
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: I saw a creature. It looked like a skateboard and

82
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: it was alive and it ate my skateboard, said Johnny. Well,

83
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,679
Speaker 1: you have to understand that Johnny was He was known

84
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: to tell some crazy, wild stories, and so what kind

85
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 1: of makes sense that some of the friends might not

86
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: believe him. But Weston Weston really did like Johnny. So maybe,

87
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 1: just maybe Johnny was telling the truth. Okay, Johnny, UM,

88
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: that is a pretty crazy story. But I do have

89
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 1: a camera out in front of my garage. Maybe it

90
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,919
Speaker 1: picked up something. I'll let you guys know what I

91
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: find over, Weston asked his parents to look at the

92
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: video feed for the camera in front of the garage.

93
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: They grabbed the monitor and he started scanning through the video.

94
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: All right, this probably happened in the last thirty minutes

95
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: since we were eating dinner, all right, so I'll start there.

96
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:39,039
Speaker 1: He started watching the video and quickly looking through it,

97
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:44,839
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, holy smokes, Johnny was right.

98
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: Weston ran back over to his walkie talkie. Guys, come in,

99
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:54,119
Speaker 1: this is Weston. I have something you need to see

100
00:06:54,160 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: for yourself. Come to my house right away. Over. It

101
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,239
Speaker 1: only took a few minutes before all of his friends

102
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 1: showed up on Weston's front yard. Weston couldn't wait to

103
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: show them what he had found. Guys, look at this.

104
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: Weston opened up the video and pressed play. Holy smokes, guys,

105
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: I wish you could see the video that Weston and

106
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: his friends are looking at right now. But there it's

107
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: some kind of real skateboard monster that rode up Weston's driveway.

108
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 1: It looked inside at the skateboard. It's it's like it

109
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: was coming to eat westn skateboard. It saw something and

110
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: got scared and ran away. But then I think it

111
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: went over to Johnny's house and then it ate Johnny's skateboard.

112
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: All of Weston's friends couldn't believe their eyes. What in

113
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: the world was that, they all said, and turned to Weston,

114
00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: And why didn't it eat yours? I'd know, guys, but

115
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure we just stumbled into some kind of

116
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: crazy mystery. We need to work together to solve this one.

117
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 1: Holy smokes. Weston and his friends have just started some

118
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: kind of crazy skateboarding monster adventure. We'll have to wait

119
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,080
