Pickle was the name Aim of his cat. 16 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 1: He had one of the softest kiddies in the whole world, 17 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:10,679 Speaker 1: and its name was Pickle. Kind of a silly name 18 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,840 Speaker 1: for a cat, right, Yeah, Well, Pickle was the best 19 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 1: cat in the whole world and love to play with 20 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,560 Speaker 1: Decklin all day long. They would play hide and seat 21 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 1: together and hide under blanket forts. Have you guys ever 22 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 1: built a blanket fort together with maybe your your siblings 23 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 1: or your pet. Yeah, blanket forts are so fun and 24 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 1: Decklin was really good at building them. He would put 25 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,120 Speaker 1: pull chairs together and get big blankets and draped them 26 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 1: over the top, and immediately him and Pickle would transport 27 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 1: into a secret location inside their fort. Wow. Well, all 28 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 1: of a sudden, Pickle went missing and Declin couldn't find 29 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 1: it anywhere. Pickle, where did you go? He was looking 30 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:08,359 Speaker 1: all over their fort. But you see, their fort was 31 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,640 Speaker 1: so big. They had used all the blankets in the 32 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:16,800 Speaker 1: entire house. Therefore, it was so big that there were 33 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 1: so many different places to check. And everywhere he crawled 34 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 1: there was Pickle was not there. Wait a second, what 35 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 1: what is that? Declin hadn't been over to this side 36 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 1: of the fort yet. And back in the corner it 37 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 1: was kind of up against their where their couch was, 38 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: there was a tunnel. He didn't remember building this tunnel. 39 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:45,079 Speaker 1: It just it's like it just appeared. He started squeezing 40 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 1: through this tunnel and whoa, it was really tight and 41 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 1: he popped out the other side. What in the world 42 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:59,640 Speaker 1: Declin couldn't believe it as he he could stand up. 43 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 1: It was so big. This was not their normal fort. Wow. 44 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 1: He looked around he was inside of it looked like 45 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 1: a big cave. That wow, smells kind of musty in here. 46 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 1: All right, Pickle, are you in here? Decklin still couldn't 47 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 1: find his kittie, Pickle anywhere. There you are, Pickle? Come here? 48 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 1: Somehow Pickle had crawled into this underground cave underneath their 49 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 1: blanket for it, And oh, come here. Decklin picked up 50 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 1: Pickle and and started to pet the kittie and and 51 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 1: help it feel safe. Alright, Pickle, what on earth were 52 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: you doing over here? Why was that sound? Ah? It 53 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: sounded just like a dinosaur. Declin, You gotta get out 54 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: of there, dude, Wait a second, it smells like lemonade 55 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 1: in here? What is that? As Declin grabbed his flashlight 56 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 1: out of his pocket, he turned it on and instantly 57 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 1: he couldn't believe his eyes. He was inside of a cave. 58 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:28,719 Speaker 1: That way back there there was a waterfall, a waterfall 59 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 1: of lemonade. What he had stumbled into the lemonade Cave? 60 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 1: Have you ever heard of the lemonade cave? Oh? Yeah, 61 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:45,480 Speaker 1: this is where lemonade comes from, and this is not 62 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 1: your normal lemonade cave. Those are wait, those dinosaurs are pink. 63 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:02,039 Speaker 1: As Declin and Pickles walked deeper back into the cave, 64 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 1: they saw a whole bunch of pink dinosaurs standing next 65 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: to the waterfall. Why hello, there, what are you doing here? 66 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 1: I said one of the dinosaurs. Oh hi, my name 67 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 1: is Declin. I'm sorry to bother you. I really don't 68 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,239 Speaker 1: mean any trouble, but um, you see, my cat got 69 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 1: lost in here, and so I'm here to just rescue 70 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 1: my kidding, but I have to ask, what on earth 71 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 1: are you doing? And I didn't know that there were 72 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:37,279 Speaker 1: such things as pink dinosaurs. Oh yes, we're a very 73 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 1: rare breed of of dinosaurs that are pink. And you see, 74 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 1: we we had to hide down here in the lemonade cave. 75 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:50,599 Speaker 1: We we have a very special job. Oh really, what 76 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:55,719 Speaker 1: what's your job? Well? Have you ever wondered where pink 77 00:05:55,839 --> 00:06:02,040 Speaker 1: lemonade comes from? I have so delicious, But how does 78 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:07,600 Speaker 1: it get pink? Declan said, Well, you see, that's that's 79 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 1: our job as pink dinosaurs. We we take care and 80 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,679 Speaker 1: protect this Lemonade cave, but we dip our our pink 81 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:20,720 Speaker 1: tail into the lemonade and it instantly turns it pink. 82 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: Watch the dinosaur dipped his pink tail into the lemonade 83 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:32,039 Speaker 1: that was pouring over from the waterfall, and it instantly 84 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 1: turned pink. That's so cool. Declin said, yeah, but you see, 85 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:45,600 Speaker 1: there's there's space ninja's that are trying to steal all 86 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 1: of our pink lemonade and and use it for for 87 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 1: really not good things. That's terrible. And is that why 88 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,840 Speaker 1: you're hiding down here and protecting the cave of all 89 00:06:55,920 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 1: this lemonade and the pink lemonade. That's exactly right, Declin, Um, 90 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:06,480 Speaker 1: we we could actually wait, Charlie, what's going on over 91 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 1: there in the back of the cave. There was allowed 92 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 1: ruckus going on, all this commotion and howling, and it's 93 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 1: the space ninjas. Everyone take cover. All the dinosaurs had 94 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 1: to run and hide because the space Ninja's were way 95 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 1: too powerful for these dinosaurs. I don't, I don't, And 96 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 1: they talked really fast. Oh, Pickles, we gotta figure out 97 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 1: a way to help these dinosaurs. So the space then 98 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 1: just don't steal all the pink lemonade. What are we 99 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 1: gonna do? Definitely had to think, think, ding ding ding 100 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,360 Speaker 1: ding ding ding ding. He knew that he had read 101 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 1: all about like things that spy kids doing, but he 102 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: hadn't made it on the spy kid team yet, so 103 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: he didn't know. He couldn't call anyone. Wait a second, 104 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 1: let me think, ding ding ding ding ding dinging. Think 105 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 1: we could trick the space and then just into taking 106 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 1: uh something else. Oh, let's run back to the house 107 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 1: and grab some food coloring and maybe we could turn 108 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 1: some water pink and then the space and just yeah, 109 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 1: let's go. Declan and his cat right back to the house. 110 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 1: They had to go through the cave and out of 111 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 1: their blanket for it, and they had to find some 112 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 1: pink food coloring. There it is. He filled the bucket 113 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 1: with water and and and colored the water to be 114 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 1: pink so it looked just like the pink lemonade. Perfect, 115 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 1: let's go. He grabbed the bucket and down into the 116 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 1: cave they went. They had to trick the Space ninjas 117 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 1: into thinking their stuff was the real pink lemonade, so 118 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 1: he put the bucket down right next to the waterfall. 119 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 1: It's working book. Spaceically, just talk really fast and kind 120 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:12,679 Speaker 1: of funny because I think they're aliens. They're picking up 121 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:24,079 Speaker 1: the bucket. It's working. They're going all right, ah, pink dinosaurs, 122 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:29,840 Speaker 1: They're gone, They're gone, Wow, How on earth did you 123 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: do that? Well? I well, we we tricked them into 124 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 1: thinking this stuff was the real being lemonade, and they 125 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:43,680 Speaker 1: took it and they're gone, wow, Decline, that's that's great work. 126 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 1: We're really happy to have you on your team.

That would be awesome. 130 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 1: And that's the day that Declan and his cat Pickles 131 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:08,079 Speaker 1: became a part of the pink Dinosaurs squad. You see, 132 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 1: there's all kinds of creatures for all kinds of different jobs, 133 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 1: and these pink dinosaurs had a very important job for 134 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 1: producing all this delicious pink lemonade.
