Doctor Stinky Breath and Professor Sticky Fingers tiptoed 17 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:05,920 Speaker 1: across the sidewalk in front of a school. Each evil 18 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:11,200 Speaker 1: villain held one side of a ginormous candy bowl. They 19 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:16,080 Speaker 1: were trying hard to contain their evil laughter. Oh boy, 20 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 1: with the special magnets in these ways, anyone who eats 21 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 1: them will become a walking magnet for of things valuable. 22 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 2: You're right, professor, and since these candies taste so good, 23 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 2: they won't be able to stop eating zim either. The 24 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 2: two evil geniuses placed the bowl directly in front of 25 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,120 Speaker 2: the school doors. They held up their evil hands and 26 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 2: release their evil laps into the night sky. The purple 27 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 2: blimp took this as a sign they were ready to 28 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 2: go and lower the ropes down for them both to 29 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 2: climb back up. Then it whisked them away into the night, 30 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 2: ready to watch their evil plan unfold from the safety 31 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 2: of their evil layers above the clouds. The next day, 32 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 2: Emma and Sophia walked at the steps towards school. They 33 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 2: saw a group of kids hovering at the top of 34 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 2: the stairs, right in front. 35 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 1: Of the doors. I wonder what's going on, Sophia said 36 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: to Emma. Emma shrugged as they walked closer. They made 37 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 1: their way through the cloud coming up to a giant 38 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 1: bowl of candy. Free candy, Emma red office sign attached 39 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:36,520 Speaker 1: to the front. Huh, definitely not evil. I don't know 40 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:40,080 Speaker 1: about this, said Sophia, Like where did it come from? 41 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,639 Speaker 1: No one just puts a bowl of free candy out 42 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:46,519 Speaker 1: like this. Then he was next to them, stuffing his mouth. 43 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:54,960 Speaker 1: Who came from it? It's delicious, He put a handful 44 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 1: in front of Emma and Sophia's faces. Ah, no, thanks, Benny. 45 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 1: I I only eat candy that's been checked by my parents. 46 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 1: She quickly scanned around. And my parents aren't here, and 47 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 1: neither are any teachers, so not thanks. Okay, more for me, 48 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 1: said Benny as he nombed another handful of candy himself. 49 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:24,080 Speaker 1: Sophia and Emma made their way around the ginormous candy 50 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 1: bowl and the swarms of kids eating from it. They 51 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: watched their classmates wearily throughout the day, you know, cautiously 52 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 1: waiting for any weird side effects to occur. Everyone seemed 53 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: fine and happy with their candy, even pulling pieces out 54 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 1: of their pockets throughout the rest of the day to 55 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 1: sneak another bite. I'm not sure why I snorted there. 56 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 1: I meant more like this. Oh yeah, that's a better sound. 57 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 1: Emma was in the lunch line when she noticed coins 58 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 1: sticking to the back of the person in front of her. 59 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 1: Excuse me, you somehow have some money stuck to your shirt, 60 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 1: Emma said. She tried to. 61 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 2: Pull it off, but it wouldn't budge. 62 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 1: The person turned around and looked at her funny, shoving 63 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:17,600 Speaker 1: another piece of candy into their mouth. Oh uh, sorry, 64 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: never mind, Emma said awkwardly. Maybe it's just part of 65 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 1: their outfit, she wondered. Sophia was in our class when 66 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: she noticed all sorts of things stuck to her classmate 67 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:36,839 Speaker 1: across the table. There were paper clips along their sleeves, 68 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 1: pens stuck to their legs, and even a ring in 69 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 1: their hair. Uh, I, you have something stuck well everywhere, 70 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,360 Speaker 1: Sophia tried to tell them, but they just gave her 71 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,839 Speaker 1: a funny look and popped another piece of candy out 72 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: of their pocket and into their mouth. Things just kept 73 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 1: getting weirder than Throughout the day, students continued to eat 74 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,479 Speaker 1: candy as more and more of them walked around like 75 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 1: living magnets. Emma and Sophia met up at the end 76 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 1: of the day, relieved to see the other was still normal. 77 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 1: It has to be the candy, said Sophia, And why 78 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 1: can't they stop eating it? Everything sticking to them and 79 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 1: how much of it is left? Emma shook her head. 80 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm glad we didn't eat any or 81 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 1: else we'd have all that stuff stuck to our bodies 82 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:36,039 Speaker 1: as well. The two girls walked home from school together. 83 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 1: They were walking their normal path through town, passing the 84 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 1: movie theater and ice cream parlor. Up ahead, there was 85 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 1: a group of kids from school walking past the jewelry store. 86 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:54,360 Speaker 1: Necklaces and rings began flying out of the windows and doors, 87 00:05:55,560 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 1: soon st sticking right to the kids, but the kids 88 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:05,719 Speaker 1: were too busy eating their candy they didn't even notice. 89 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:10,279 Speaker 1: Emma and Sophia were the first one's home. They waited 90 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,600 Speaker 1: on the porch for their brother Eli. They heard him 91 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:19,119 Speaker 1: before they saw him. Clink clink, clink sounded down the road. 92 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:23,160 Speaker 1: Eli turned the corner, looking like he was wearing a 93 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 1: suit of armor. Eli. Oh no, why did you eat 94 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 1: the candy? You know we can't eat candy from strangers. 95 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 1: Eli looked offended. Why do you think I ate that candy? Eli? 96 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 1: Look at you, said Emma, but he didn't seem to 97 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 1: care at all. He went to pop another candy in 98 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 1: his mouth, but Emma snatched it out of his hand. Hey, 99 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:59,039 Speaker 1: that's mine, give it back, shouted Eli. But Emma just 100 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 1: crossed her arms, hiding the candy from view. Nah Ah, 101 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 1: no way, am I giving this back to you. Look 102 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 1: at yourself, You look like a human junkyard. It was true. 103 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 1: Eli had all sorts of things stuck to him, uh 104 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:20,679 Speaker 1: fancy pens, cufflinks, money, rings, but he didn't even seem 105 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 1: to notice. Just like the other kids at school, they 106 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 1: all seemed to care more about eating the candy. He 107 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 1: still had some more candy in his pockets, so he 108 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 1: ran to his room to eat it and hide from 109 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 1: his sisters. That night, while Eli and the rest of 110 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 1: the students from school were sleeping, Professor Sticky Fingers enacted 111 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 1: the second half of his plan. Going house to house, 112 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 1: the Purple Ninjas started collecting all the valuables off the 113 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 1: sleeping children. Oh dear. They assumed every kid had eaten 114 00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 1: the candy since they had made it so irresistibly delicious, 115 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 1: so they went to every house in the school district. 116 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 1: Their plans seemed to be working perfectly until they arrived 117 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 1: at you know who, Emma and Sophia's house. Why do 118 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 1: I have to carry the magnet around? 119 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 2: It's so heavy? 120 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, because Steve, you know you're you're a lot stronger 121 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 1: than me. Head anyway, I'm not tall enough to reach 122 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 1: the window. Come on, let me help you push up 123 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 1: that magnet. And there they were holding up some kind 124 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 1: of giant magnet thing up to the open window. It 125 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:40,440 Speaker 1: only smokes. All the stuff that was being stuck to 126 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 1: the kids was now being sucked out the window and 127 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 1: right onto their magnet. But little did they know that 128 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 1: two spies were actually spying on them. Hey, purple ninges, 129 00:08:55,360 --> 00:09:02,080 Speaker 1: freeze a stave ron for okay, let's get on here. 130 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,840 Speaker 1: Just like that, the two purple ninjas pushed their turbo 131 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 1: blast off buttons and through zoomed up to the sky, 132 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 1: just out of reach of Sophia and Emma, who were 133 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 1: waiting for them. Ah man, they got away, said Emma, 134 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:22,080 Speaker 1: it's okay, they can leave. But now we know exactly 135 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,199 Speaker 1: who's behind the candy, and now we just got to 136 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 1: make sure that that candy bowl is destroyed forever. The 137 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 1: next day, Sophia and Emma arrived early at school and 138 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 1: quickly got rid of all that candy before the kids 139 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:41,440 Speaker 1: even noticed. Thankfully, school life returned back to normal and 140 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 1: all the students didn't even remember the candy that had 141 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 1: happened the day before. It's a good thing that Emma 142 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 1: and Sofia were able to stop the purple ninjas and doctors, 143 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 1: take your breath before it was too late. 144 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,200 Speaker 2: Wow, great job, girls, and holy smokes. 145 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,680 Speaker 1: Yes, definitely don't eat any candy that you don't know 146 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:05,080 Speaker 1: where it came from, because it might just you know, 147 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 1: be from a purple ninja. This may be the end 148 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,080 Speaker 1: of our story, but it's only just the beginning of 149 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,839 Speaker 1: all the adventures that lie ahead for Sophia and Emma. 150 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 1: The end, we'll be right back after a brief word 151 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:26,920 Speaker 1: from our sponsor.
