Speaker 1 (00:04):
Hey, friends, it's mister Jim. Welcome back to Kid Short Stories.
I am so excited for part two of this amazing
adventure with Trey. Before we get to the story, I
need to make sure that you are following the show
and have left an awesome five star reviewer rating on
Spotify or Apple Podcasts, because that helps us reach more

(00:25):
families to share these stories with. Well, friends, are you
ready to see what happens with that stinky crystal and Trey?

Speaker 2 (00:33):
Oh? Dear me too, Let's go.

Speaker 1 (00:42):
As Trey was bobbing up and down in the ocean,
his mind was racing, trying to figure out how he
could be in two places at once.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
Is that even possible?

Speaker 1 (00:53):
I don't think so, because remember, he just got to
this island where his comment from space crashed down with
this giant, stinky crystal allegedly inside of it. And back
at home was that little fragment of the stinky crystal
that popped his basketball, and now it's sitting in his
room in the purple, in his no.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
Exactly where it iss? Wait a second, what about Hayden.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
Maybe Hayden could help, said Trey to himself. Hayden was
his little sister and maybe she was pretty young, but
maybe she was brave enough to be on the spy team.
All right, I'll call back to my old walkie talkie
and see if maybe, just maybe she's near enough to
hear it. It's actually not a bad idea, because Trey

(01:40):
had an old walkie talkie back in his room at
home that he could switch the channels to on his
walkie talkie and call out to it and maybe Hayden
would be near enough to hear it. Sh Hayden, this
is Trey. H Are you there over? Shh nothing but silence.

(02:02):
All right, let me try again. Sh Hayden, this is Drey,
your brother. I'm in a pretty difficult situation. I could
really use your help. Are you there over? Sh Hi,
dre s.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
Hayden.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
Oh, I'm so glad you answered, said Trey. Okay, there's
something in my room that's glowing. It looks kind of
like a sharp rock, and it's stinky. Have you seen
that thing? Sh Oh? Yeah, we've all been talking about
how stinky your room is. Is that what that thing is?
Sh yes, yes, so good. I'm glad it's still there. Okay, Hayden,

(02:45):
I'm gonna have the spy team send a drone to
pick up that stinky crystal. So all you need to
do is carry the sinky crystal over to the drone
and make sure that it gets back to HQ.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
Can you do that for me? Sh Holy smokes?

Speaker 1 (02:59):
Does that mean I get to be on the spy team?
Sh Uh, I guess it does. I thought you had
to be a little bit older, But Hayden, you are
now on the spy team.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
It's official, said Trey.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
Sh Okay, I'll be waiting for the drone.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
Bye, Tray, stay safe.

Speaker 1 (03:19):
Sh Trey then called it into HQ, telling them about
the situation and that his sister would be waiting for
that drone to arrive to hand off one of those
stinky crystals. But now Trey had to focus on his
side of the situation. You know, the part of that
giant stinky crystal crashing on the island in front of him,

(03:40):
that's arounded by Buble Nannis, the doctor Sticky both. Yeah,
that situation all right, There's gotta be a way to
sneak onto this island without them seeing. Remember, Tray was
still floating in the ocean, and so his eyes were
scanning the edge of the island, looking for a way
to maybe sneak in, and then he saw it.

Speaker 2 (04:04):
There's a cave.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
It looks like it goes to the center of the island,
which is exactly where that comet landed. All right, I
guess we're headed to the cave, said Trey as he
started swimming towards that cave. It was a really cool thing.
You know, on the edge of island sometimes there's a
rocky edge, like a rocky cliff. Well, this was a

(04:26):
cave that was connected to the ocean, so he could
just swim right into the cave that led hopefully to
exactly where he needed to go. Wow, it's so dark
and echoing in here. But wait a second, there's a
light up ahead, said Trey as Tray had entered into
the cave, swimming completely undetected by the Purple Ninjas. Thankfully,

(04:51):
he saw some light up ahead. It was like there
was another side of the cave, and so he started
swimming towards it, and that as when he noticed that
the the ceiling of the cave had collapsed. The light
that he was seeing was coming up through the ceiling
and there was the sky. Holy smokes, what could have
made this happen? Said Trey quietly. You don't think it

(05:16):
was the comet that when it crashed down on the island.
Maybe it crashed into this cave. And I think that's
exactly what happened. As Trey swam deeper and deeper into
this cave, he saw it up ahead. When the comet
crashed down onto the island and broke through that cave,
it had cracked the comet wide open. It was a

(05:39):
ginormous rock, but inside it was a glowing, stinky crystal.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
WHOA, that's a big one. I've never seen one.

Speaker 1 (05:50):
That big before, said Trey. As he swam closer to
the edge. He pulled himself up on the edge of
the comet. WHOA, this thing's sharp.

Speaker 2 (05:59):
Let me just for.

Speaker 1 (06:01):
The crystal made a funny popping sound as he pulled
it right out of that comet. It was about the
size of a baseball, which was the largest stinky crystal
we believe has ever been found. He put it into
his spy pack, and then all of a sudden he heard.

Speaker 2 (06:18):
A sound, Hey, that's ours. Come back here.

Speaker 1 (06:23):
As he looked up above at the ceiling that had
that hole in it, there were three purple ninjas looking
over the edge at him. Catch me if you can,
Purple Ninjas, shouted Tray as he dove back into the
water and swam off.

Speaker 3 (06:38):
Get him, he's getting away.

Speaker 1 (06:42):
Meanwhile, back at home, his sister was bravely standing out
in the backyard holding that stinky crystal out.

Speaker 3 (06:50):
Uh this is really disgusting it it smells.

Speaker 1 (06:54):
So bad, said Hayden. The drone appeared, thankfully, just in time.
She put the stinky crystal inside of a little box
in the drone and off it zoomed my stinky crystal.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
She waved.

Speaker 1 (07:17):
Wow, I guess I'm really a spy now. Yes, Hayden
was jumping around so excitedly now that she was on
the spy team. That drone arrived not a second too soon, because.

Speaker 2 (07:32):
The Purple Ninjas were up in that.

Speaker 1 (07:34):
Stinky blimp lab up above Hayden and Trey's house.

Speaker 3 (07:40):
Oh no, boss, it looks like that drone is getting
away with that extra stinky crystal piece.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
Fuck are you talking about? Get that drone? Shouted doctor
stinky breath. But unfortunately, their stinky blimp lab was not
as fast as the drone. As the drone zoomed back
tore its HQ and they were unable to catch it
the hel Purple Ninjas. At least we have that big

(08:07):
one out in the ocean. Can you check and make
sure there's no problems? Sure, tike bos or do that
right now? Hey guys, have you got that big sticky
crystal out of that Carbet.

Speaker 3 (08:20):
Goot S'm not exactly it. I kind of got away,
but we're swimming after it.

Speaker 1 (08:27):
What are you talking about that you're swimming after it?

Speaker 2 (08:31):
Didn't you have it in your possession? Shu.

Speaker 3 (08:36):
We were about to get it, but then I think
somebody on the spy tabe got it here first.

Speaker 4 (08:44):
No Purple Ninjas, they have gotten bot us the stinky crystals.
Why do I even sing that you can do anything
good for me, Purple Ninch.

Speaker 1 (09:01):
Great job, Trey, you and your sister Aiden saved us
all from a world filled with stinky casts from that
stinky crystal. Wow, thank you for choosing to be brave
and Hayden, welcome to the spy team.

Speaker 2 (09:18):
That maybe the end of this story.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
It's just the beginning of their amazing spy adventures that
lie ahead the end. Great job, you listened all the
way to the end, and you know what time it is.
It's time for cod showed out. I want to say
