Speaker 1 (00:04):
Hey friends, it's mister Jim and welcome back to kids'
short stories. Right now, I need to make sure that
you have smashed the follow button and also left to
your five star rating or a review on Apple Podcast.
Those Spotify ratings and Apple podcast reviews are super helpful
for me and helps grow our spy team. Well, friends,

(00:28):
are you ready to solve this mystery of the radioactive
tooth based me too? Let's go. It was very late
as Caiden took his first steps out as his front door.
He had to act fast because he didn't know how

(00:49):
long that trail of glowing slime would last. Maybe it
would run out of glowing power and it would be
lost forever and he would never be able to find
that mutant green blob. Squish, squish, squish. His boots squashed
through the mud. Thankfully, the rain was slowing down because

(01:11):
remember it had been raining for several days. Cayden had
brought with him all of his spy gear and of course,
a flashlight. He had a very bright flashlight that would
make this job a lot easier as he was navigating
through the dark. As he walked towards the forest, he
was following this green slime trail. Remember earlier when he

(01:34):
saw that glowing green blob in the middle of the
street that had eaten its toothpaste. It then started running
away or sliding away down the street because it saw
that Cayden saw him, and he did not, or that
thing did not want to be seen. All right, I
guess here we go, said Cayden as he took his

(01:57):
first step into the forest. He had never been in
the forest at night. It was a little creepy, but
he was very glad that he had his flashlight with him.
It lit up like almost the entire forest, but he
almost didn't even need his flashlight because that glowing green
slime was so bright. It also glowed a whole trail

(02:23):
for him to follow. Ugh, this is disgusting, he said.
It's like dripping all over the place, said Cayden. He
was right. As he was walking through the forest, all
the vines and branches and sticks above and around him
were all covered in this green, glowing slime ew and

(02:47):
it almost smelled minty fresh. Well, that's strange, said Cayden.
It's like this thing is made of toothpaste, but my
toothpaste is not green, and it doesn't glow this is
all very strange. Oh another message from HQ Kayden. We

(03:07):
have received reports of doctor Clean's truck being found near
the power plant, but doctor Clean has gone missing. We
need your help to not only stop this slime monster,
but make sure that it doesn't get to doctor Clean. First.
We'll send you the coordinates. Good luck. Shhh Oh no,

(03:30):
not doctor Clean. He's the nicest dentist in the whole
wide world, shouted Kayden as he got a little worried
about his friend doctor Clean. Yeah. Doctor Clean was known
as like one of the nicest dentists in the whole area.
He was really good, not only at cleaning teeth, but
he was also really funny. He always had the best

(03:51):
teeth jokes. Cayden typed in the coordinates into his GPS.
Beep beep beeppppp. His GPS had a little arrow on
it and it's kind of like a compass, Like when
he would point it in one direction, it would tell him, Ah,
that's not quite right, you know, move it over to

(04:11):
the right people. Oh, that's it. So all he had
to do was follow the arrow on that GPS. But
the strange thing was that arrow was leading him down
the exact same trail that he was following, you know,
the glowing slime trail. Oh no, he really is after
doctor Clean. Chanaan was not going to let doctor Clean

(04:36):
get eaten by that giant green blob of glowing toothpaste.
It was very strange, but he had to save doctor Clean.
He started running through the forest as fast as he could.
He was now getting a little bit more muddy than before,
but he didn't care. His boots slashing through the mud

(04:59):
and the forest was not gonna stop him from saving
doctor Clean. He finally made it to the other side
of the forest, which opened up into a grassy field.
Wait a second, is that doctor Clean's truck down there?
He ran across the field and could see that Doctor
Clean's truck was right off the road. Wow, it looks

(05:21):
like he slid into this really giant glowing puddle. Ooh gross.
He also noticed a whole bunch of empty toothpaste boxes
that had fallen out of doctor Clean's truck. That's weird.
Where'd all that toothpaste go? Cayden wanted to stay far
away from that glowing green puddle. That has gotta be

(05:44):
connected to that giant green blob around here. Wait, what
was that sound. It was this biology squad drone and
there was a message for Caiden. It said, Kayden, here
is the antidote for that giant green blob. Grab a

(06:04):
handful of this powder and throw it on the green
blob and hopefully it will deactivate its radioactive powers. Signed
Ava and Jaden. This is awesome, said Kaden. Avon Jaden
are always making the coolest things. Well, I hope this
thing works. And it was just then that he heard

(06:26):
another sound. Bow. Huh, it's the blob. He reached his
hand inside of the bag froms Biology Squad which had
all that powder that hopefully it would work. He grabbed
a handful and threw it with all of his might
at that glowing green blob. Whine. As it landed on

(06:49):
the blob, it started to melt. It's working, its working.
All that glowing green slime was sliding off to the ground.
And wait a second, said Kayden, Doctor Clean, is that
you Cayden? You save me. Cayden could not believe it,

(07:10):
as all that green blob slime came pouring off of
doctor Clean. He was left there standing wondering, Wait a second,
are you evil? Are you Doctor evil? Clean? No? No, no, no, no,
this all is a big mistake. I splashed my truck

(07:30):
into that radioactive pond over there, and I don't know
what happened, but that toothpaste somehow came alive and covered
me completely. And I've been wandering around the city trying
to get help. But I think it made things worse.
All right, Doctor Clean, just come with me. Well, I'll
get you back to spiology squad and they'll get you

(07:51):
clean back up. Come on, Cayden led doctor Clean back
to Spiology Squad HQ and they had a very special shout.
We're waiting for him to clean off all the rest
of that mutant toothpaste from the radioactive pond. Holy smokes,
I did not see that coming. Did you know? It

(08:12):
was Doctor Clean this whole time? And wow? We have
got to make sure that we keep our toothpaste away
from radioactive ponds, because I guess they can come alive.
We also need to make sure that this information does
not get back to the Purple Ninjas because that I
can't even imagine if that actually happened, where doctor Stinky

(08:33):
Breath I was able to do with this? Just did
he would make it even worse? Who? Well, great job, Kaden,
you not only saved our city, but you also saved
Doctor Clean from that very very crazy, slimy mess. Great job,
even though this is the end of the story, well

(08:55):
hopefully that's the end of our slimy radioactive adventures, but
we'll have to wait and see the end. Great job.
You listened all the way to the end, and you
know what time it is. It's time for kid shout out.

(09:17):
I want to say to Conrad, Adeline, Theodore from Mountain Green, Utah,
Riker from Pennsylvania, Weston from Ontario, Luca from Littleton, Colorado,
Liam and Theo from Singapore, and Violet from England. I'm
so glad that you're on the Kit Short Stories family
and on the spy team. We could not stop Doctor

(09:39):
Stinky Breath and his crew without you, my friends. Will
you have a super duper day and I will see
you on our next adventure. Bye.
