Speaker 1 (00:03):
Hey, friends, welcome back to Kids Short Stories. If this
is your first time, welcome to the family. My name
is mister Jim and I have three kids on my
own and we have come to learn that story time
is the best way to promote imagination and creativity in
your kids. We just love what stories have done for
our family and thank you so much for inviting us

(00:24):
into your home. Well, friends, are you ready to find
out what happens on part two of our adventure with
Zara and Micah? Are they gonna save the Queen's crown?
Let's find out. Let's go. As Zara and Michaeh were
zooming through the air with their jet packs, they were

(00:46):
flying right towards the crown that was being pulled up
into Doctor Stinky Breath's purple blimp high up in the clouds.
Down below on the ground, it was complete pandemonium as
all the people were screaming, not knowing what in the
world was going on, and the queen was very worried.

(01:06):
You see, that crown that Doctor Sinky Breath and Professor
Sticky Fingers have just stolen is actually a magical crown
that contains magical powers. I think that is why doctor
Stinky Breath wanted to steal it in the first place. Micah,
I don't think we're gonna make it there in time
before that crown gets sucked into the purple blimp. We

(01:27):
gotta call it into HQ, said Zara. Micah reached for
his walkie talkie and pulled it out and said, sh HQ.
This is Micah and Zara. Are you there over? Sh
Micah and Zara, what's going on? Sh something terrible. It
looks like doctor Sinky Breath has used some kind of

(01:49):
really sticky string to steal the crown from the Quin
of England, shouted Micah into the walkie talkie. SH that
is terrible. We need to keep close tabs and where
that blimp is, and then we'll formulate a plan to
get that crown back to the Queen. We cannot allow
doctor Stinky Breath to keep that magical crown. We will

(02:13):
send you a plan as soon as we have one.
Just stay close to that blimp and make sure that
you stay unseen. Overend out shh. Zara and Micah continued
following closely behind that purple blimp in the sky. They
were flying in disguise in these clouds which help keep

(02:35):
them unseen, which was going to be super duper important
if they were gonna be able to sneak into the
blimp undetected. Sara, How in the world are we gonna
sneak into that blimp somehow without them knowing? Asked Micah.
I don't know. I hope HQ is able to send
us something. Maybe Spiology Squad is able to I don't know,

(02:58):
create something so that we can transport through walls. Both
of their eyes got really big and excited. I think
we should call Spiology squad see if they can do that,
said Micah. I'm on it. Zara grabbed her walkie talkie
and turned it over to the channel for Spiology Squad.
S Spiology Squad, are you there, shouted Zara, we have

(03:20):
an emergency over sh Hey guys, Spiology Squad here. It's
Jaden Ava, mister Jim. What's going on over sh Oh?
It's so great to hear your voice. We need help.
Doctor Sinkybreath has just stolen the crown from the Queen
of England. We're following closely behind in the clouds, but

(03:41):
we need to find out if there's a way that
we can sneak into the blimp undetected. Do you have
anything that can get us through those walls? Sh There
was a long pause, and then Ava responded, sh. Yeah, Hey,
this is Ava. I've actually been working on something that
could like transport us through walls. It's kind of hard

(04:05):
to explain over the walkie talkie, but I'll put it
on the drone and send it your way. It'll have
instructions included, send us your coordinates, and we'll get it
there just in a couple of minutes. Over sh. That's awesome, yes,
said Zara. We'll send you our coordinates and get it
here quickly because I don't know what doctor Stinky Breath
is planning with that crown over sh Holy smokes, that

(04:30):
is so good to hear. Spiley Squad, you know, that's
our science division of the Spy team, and they're always
working the most amazing experiments and coming up with the
best solutions to all of our biggest problems. How in
the world do you think they're gonna be able to
get through walls? I have no clue, but hopefully we're

(04:50):
gonna find out soon. Meanwhile, up at the Purple Blimp lab,
doctor Stinky Breath was laughing at his success.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
Aha.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
Now's that we have this crown in our position, we
can use this to take over the world. Haha.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
Yeah, boss, that's great news that we have the crown here.
But when it's a giant, sticky mess, how are we
going to clean off all this stinkiness? It's pretty disgusting.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
What are you talking about? Stickier is better? I like
sticky and stinky. Make it extra sticky, professor, Oh boy,
coming right up.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
Oh yeah, that's what I meant, extra stinky, said the
Purple ninches. But boss, what is the plan with this crown?
I don't understand how this is gonna help us think
over the world?

Speaker 1 (05:44):
Doctor stinky breath reached for the crown and turned it around.
You see this ginormous ruby jewel back here?

Speaker 2 (05:53):
Oh wow, that is a ginormous ruby.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
Yes, and as soon as we bump it out of
the crown, we'll be able to put it inside of
our mind controlling machine.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
Oh yeah, that mind controlling machine is a great idea,
but we've never been able to get it to work
because we needed a bigger crystal. They should probably do
the job.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
Exactly, Purple Ninches, Now find the way to get that
ginormous red ruby out from the crown. Hey, Micah, look
over there, I think that's the drone from Spiroology Squad.
Remember Micah in Zara, we're had their jet packs on

(06:41):
and we're following closely behind this purple blimp and his
biology squad had just sent them something that would help
them break in undetected. Sh Zara, Micah, this is Jaden
from Spiology Squad. Hey, we just sent you something. Did
you receive it? Over, Yes, it just arrived. What is it,

(07:03):
sh Well, remember our Bubbleberry soap that is gonna be
what you're gonna use. That's gonna get you in through
the blimp. We just discovered that the blimp is made
of some kind of slime and the Bubbleberry soap should
be able to dissolve that slime and get you right
into the blimp completely undetected. Over, sh Zara and Micah

(07:27):
open up the package from Spiology Squad and sure enough,
it was a brand new bottle of Bubbleberry soap. This
was a specially formulated soap made by Aspology Squad that
could get rid of the stickiest and stinkiest of messes.
And that would be absolutely incredible if this could actually
dissolve the wall of the blimp. Zara and Micah flew

(07:50):
right next to the blimp. All right, what do we do?
Just spray it on there, asked Micah. Yeah, I guess
so here goes nothing, said Zara. She held out the
bottle of soap and sprayed it onto the blimp. It
instantly started bubbling. Do you think that means it's working,

(08:11):
asked Micah. I don't know, but I guess we'll find
out soon, said Zara, And just then, as the bubbles cleared,
it had dissolved completely through the wall of the blimp.
And I don't know how in the world they got
that lucky, but on the other side of that hole
was sitting the Queen's crown. Micah reached through the hole

(08:32):
and grabbed it and they got out of there as
fast as they could. They had to return it to
the Queen before it was too late, as the Purple
Ninja just walked in to remove that giant ruby from
the crown. They were shocked.

Speaker 2 (08:47):
Ah, boss, uh, did you do something over here? Why
is there a giant hole on the crown missing?

Speaker 1 (08:54):
What are you talking about? Please tell me you're joking.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
No Ah, the crown just here a second ago, and
now there's a giant hole in the wall.

Speaker 3 (09:03):
Look, purpenin jewels, how did you let it get away?
Somebody gets some tape and clean up that giant hole.
Ah in the must have been spiology squad again, Professor, we.

Speaker 1 (09:21):
Need a new plan. Great jobs are in Micah. You
two save the day and save the Queen's crown just
in the nick of time. We couldn't have done it
without you and friends. That's maybe the end of the story,
but I think it's just the beginning of doctor Stinkybret's

(09:44):
plan to take over the world 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.
So I want to say hey to Max from Ottawa,

(10:05):
Jan from India, Mila from Washington, Serena from Nova Scotia,
Adeline from Santa Barbara, Casper and Jacob from Massachusetts, and
Kia and Hannah from New Jersey. I'm so glad that
you're all in the Kid short Stories, family and honor
spy team. We could not stop doctor Stinkybreath and his
crew without you, my friends. Will you have a super

(10:28):
duper day and I'll see you next time. Bye,
