Speaker 1 (00:02):
Hello, friends, and welcome to bedtime stories with mister Jim.
Oh I was just getting ready for bed, are you
as well? Oh good? I hope you brushed your teeth
and found all of your comfy things like pillows and

(00:24):
blankets and stuffies. Oh yes, oh good. Well, as long
as you have all those things ready, then it's time
for our story. But first we must close our eyes
so that we can travel to an imaginary world. Fiz

(00:59):
Bop the Month lived in Declan's dreams. They played together
every night when Declan fell asleep. Sometimes he was big,
so big that Declan would ride on his back as
Fizbo swam through the ocean escaping krakens. Other times, fizz

(01:25):
Bop was small, so small he rode around in Declan's pocket,
helping him remember the words as he performed songs for
Nights and Dragons. Some nights he was green, blending into
the leaves on a secret mission with chameleons. Other times

(01:50):
he was pink, with rainbow polka dots, teaching Declan's school
how to do the fizz Bop Bop his special monster ants.
But no matter his size or color, Fizbop was always
buzzy and friendly One night, Declan was having trouble falling asleep.

(02:13):
He tossed and turned, trying his hardest to get comfy,
but he just could not find his dreams. Fizbop was
waiting for Declan to show up. Where is Douklan, he wondered.
He twiddled his thumbs, he stretched, He waited some more.

(02:38):
Fizbop wondered if he somehow missed him. Did Declan enter
a different dream? Is he lost? I will go look
for him, decided Fizbop. He walked over to a tree
and tugged on a nod in the bark. The bark
pulled open, opening like a door. Hello, Ducklan, Fizbop called.

(03:06):
As he stepped inside. He was greeted with a soft
light of early morning. Dancing around among a field of
butterflies was a little person. Fizbop decided to fit in
and sprouted colorful wings so he could fly among the butterflies.

(03:28):
He fluttered over and landed on the kid's shoulder. Duck Lan,
he said. The young girl jumped in surprise at the
small winged monster on her shoulder. Oh no, my name's Maisie.
What are you doing in my dream? This is a
dream about butterflies. Fisbop began to fly away, but bumped

(03:55):
into a butterfly whizzing past. The butterfly became fuzzy and
sprouted monster hands and feet, just like Fizbop in its surprise,
The butterfly then bounced into another, who bounced into another,
until the little girl's dream was no longer about a

(04:18):
butterfly field. Now it was a field of fuzzy flying monsters. Oops,
so we apologized Fizbop as he fluttered away quickly, the
winged monster landed beside a lake. It was still without

(04:39):
a single ripple in its dark blue surface. He looked
through and could see another child playing in outer space.
They were too far away for Fizbop to see them fully.
Maybe this was the dream Declan was in. Fizbop jumped
into the lake with a a single splash, and he

(05:02):
landed on the rings of Saturn, where polar bears were
ice skating along. So Fizbop strapped on his skates and
followed the polar bears around the icy rings. The little
person was twirling up ahead, skating in and out of
the polar bears. The glue Fizbop called out. He turned

(05:28):
white to blend in with the polar bears, but he
still looked like a big, fuzzy monster. As he skated closer,
he didn't notice the small ice clump in his path.
Toppling over it, he skidded into the polar bears like
a bowling ball into pins at once. They became fuzzier

(05:53):
and larger. Some sprouted purple polka dots, others grew antennas
the little boy turned and saw the pile of polar
bear monsters, Cool, he said, but Fizbop sighed and was
sad that was not declan. A shooting star was zipping by,

(06:17):
and Fizbop jumped on top of it. The star whizzed
through space until Fizbop jumped off, landing on grass made
of sprinkles. He looked around and found himself surrounded by
marshmallow cows. Declan, love dessert. Could this be his dream?

(06:41):
Fizbop plucked the petals of the gum drop flowers, snacking
as he made his way to the gingerbread barn. Inside,
he heard the sounds of more marshmallow animals and a
little voice talking to them. Declune. Fizbop called into the barn.

(07:03):
The little person whose voice he had heard walked over
to him. No, I'm wes, said the little boy. Fizbop sighed,
where was Declan? He spotted a green tractor made of
lollipops and opened the door. Stepping through a quiet bedroom,

(07:25):
Fizbop looked around at the baskets of toys and neat
rows of books on the shelf. There were no skating
bears or dessert animals, just a cozy room with a
bed and a little person lying in it. Declan. The
fuzzy monster, tried once more Fizbop. Declan sat up and

(07:48):
smiled at his dream monster. Fisbop was so relieved to
have finally found him. I've been looking everywhere for you.
Declan was surprised to realize he had actually been asleep.
He hopped out of bed and hugged fiz Bob, who

(08:09):
remained big, fuzzy, and blue. He was grateful for such
a calm and simple dream after his adventurous search for
his pal. Together, the two dream friends sat on the
floor and played with Declan's train set until the sun rose.

(08:30):
Then it was time for Declan to wake up. Well,
my friends, as we all get ready to go to sleep,
and when we close our eyes, may you all have
very sweet dreams. Good Night, my friends.
