Speaker 3 (00:31):
Enough about that, let's get too Today's super Live Ay
Lewis story.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Three two one blast off, shouted Levi as he laid
in the grass in his backyard.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
He stared up at his crystal blue sky as clouds
drifted by overhead next to him. Ivy watched as well.
Captain Levi, check, Captain Levi. This is Captain Ivy. We
are now leaving the atmosphere, said Ivy as she tended
to push buttons and flip switches on an imaginary control panel.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
In front of her.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Excellent Captain Ivy called Levi back as he flipped imaginary
levers and switches another successful launch. We'll be back exploring
outer space in no time. The two brave explorers then
let their minds create a galactic wonderland.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
All around them.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
What they once knew was their backyard was now transformed
in their minds to the outer reaches of the galaxy.
Levi and Ivy were now flying through a starfield sky,
dodging meteors and setting their sights on their next space adventure.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
That was until Levi Ivy, it's time for dinner.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Called their mom, interrupting their daydream and shaking them right
back into the reality of their own backyard. Mom, we
were just about to land on a brand new planet,
said Ivy as she stood up.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Yeah. I was thinking we were going to name it
Levi Topia.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
That has a nice ring to it, don't you think,
asked Levi as he stood up next to Ivy. Not
as nice as ivy Topia, said Ivy the giggle. I
bet on your planet it would rain cheeseburgers and every
day would be Saturday. Sounds good to me, answered Levi.
And I bet your planet would be covered in marshmallow
trees and chocolate milk rivers. Right exactly, said Ivy as
(02:15):
she walked toward the house with a big smile. Well,
you can tell us all about your space adventure over dinner,
said their mom. Now let's head inside and get washed up.
Once Levi and Ivy sat down at the table, they
noticed that their dad had a.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Big smile on his face.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
They got really excited, wondering what was the big surprise
he had to tell them. So we're going on a
trip tomorrow, said Levi and Ivy's dad. Tomorrow, We're going
to the Science Museum to see the brand new space
Exploration exhibit. Exclaimed Levi and Ivy at the same time.
Well sort of, answered their dad. I got you to
a special meet and greet with Professor Quasar. He's the
(02:52):
lead scientist on the new Space Shuttle three thousand project.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Levi and Ivy couldn't believe what they were hearing.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
They knew all about Professor Quasar and we're over the
moon that they were going to get to meet him
in person. It was even better than seeing the new
museum exhibit. I have so many questions for Professor Quasar,
said Levi, Like what kind of turbo boosters are they
using on the new Space Shuttle, and when is the
test flight? And how far can it go? And how
fast can it go? And has he ever discovered a
(03:20):
new planet in one of his missions?
Speaker 2 (03:22):
And has he ever wished him a shooting star? Well
in outer space? Added Ivy, interrupting Levi.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
And what does it feel like to be waitless? And
what are they going to name the space shuttle? And
can we take a ride on it too? Ivy and
Levi had a giant list of questions that they would
be asking the Professor when they met him the next day,
and as dinner went on, it grew and grew. Now, kiddos,
I know Professor Quasar is very excited to meet you,
but maybe we wait on one hundred and one questions
(03:49):
until after we say hello, joke their dad as he
ate his dinner. You think we're going to ask him
one hundred and one questions, asked Ivy, looking the shocked
at the number. Because clear, we're going to ask him
like one thousand and one questions, laughed Levi. After all,
outer space is massive and filled with so many unanswered questions.
How long are we going to meet him?
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Anyways?
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Levi and Ivy's dad went on to tell him that
they would be with Professor Quasar for the whole day,
assisting him in his lab and learning all about the
Space Shuttle three thousand project. After dinner, Levi and Ivy
got ready for bed and made a wish on a
shooting star. Both wished that their time with Professor Quasar
would be a day they would never forget. The next
morning could not arrive fast enough, and when Levi and
(04:32):
Ivy's parents woke up, they found their two excited space
explorers had already eaten breakfast, gotten dressed, and were waiting
to head over to the Science Museum. In no time
at all, Levi and Ivy found themselves running up the
giant stone stairs that led to the museum, and waiting
for them when they arrived was, of course, Professor Quigar, shouted,
Levi and Ivy together. We are such big fans of you,
(04:55):
Ivy continued, and we can't wait to spend the day
with you, learning everything we can about space and the
Space Shuttle three thousand project, and maybe, just.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Maybe we could get a ride on the shuttle.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Levi and Ivy both laughed, as did Professor Quasar. Well
you never know exactly what will happen here at the
Space Museum, answered the Professor, but I do know we
have a great time no matter what we do. Levi
and Ivy said goodbye to their parents and followed Professor
Quasar down a long hallway, passing a sign that said
employees only. Professor Quasar didn't waste any time once they
(05:27):
all got into his lab, Levi and Ivy, I am
so happy to have you join me today. I know
how much you love space travel, and we need to
move quickly if we're going to fit everything in that
i'd like to show you today, began Professor Quasar.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Well we have all day, answered Levi. So why the
big rush?
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Why all day does seem like a good amount of
time to spend here at the museum. It's just the
right amount of time to fly back and forth to
outer space, said Professor Quasar in a calm voice as
he looked at the clipboard filled with notes and numbers.
I guess you're right, answered Ivy, as what Professor quasars
had said slowly sank in, and once it did, she
and Levi didn't know how to react. Wait a minute,
(06:10):
did you just say we're flying to outer space today?
Asked Levi, sunning shocked and unbelievably excited.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
An outer space trip on Space Shuttle three thousand.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Shot at Ivy just as excited as Levi. Not exactly,
said the professor, making Levi and Ivy very confused. We
don't call it Space Shuttle three thousand anymore. It's now
called Space Shuttle Stardust. And as he said that, he
opened two large doors that led into a giant garage.
Inside the massive garage was the biggest space shuttle Levi
and Ivy had ever seen in person. More specifically, it
(06:44):
was the only space shuttle Levin Ivy had ever seen
in person. We can't waste any more time. We need
to hop aboard right now, said Professor Kuwasar. It's perfectly safe,
and no one knows more about this shuttle than I do.
And if everything goes according to plan I've mapped out,
we'll be back just in time for your parents to
pick you up. You see, I have taken this trip
today because I need to check on the space station Nebula.
(07:06):
The cameras that we installed to monitor the surrounding galaxy
here at the museum are not transmitting any signal. I'm
sure it's nothing I can't fix quickly, Levi and Ivy
just stood there and listened to Professor Quasar talk as
he gave them space suits and instructed them how to
put them on. He continued telling the excited young space
explorers about their mission as he walked them onto the
Space shuttle start US and closed the giant exterior door
(07:28):
behind them. So, yeah, that's it, pretty straightforward and simple,
said Professor Quasar to Levi and Ivy, who thought this
twist to their museum visit sounded amazing but definitely not simple.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Are you sure everything will be okay?
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Asked Ivy, Absolutely, answered Professor Quasar. The first trip on
a new shuttle is always my favorite first trip, said
Levi's eyes got wide. So we'll be going into space
on your new shuttles first ever, lawn, Could this take
it any better?
Speaker 2 (08:02):
It could. The possibilities in space.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Are endless, so you never know what amazing things you'll
see or do, said Professor Quasar reassuringly, and with not
another minute to spare, Professor Quasar told Levi and Ivy
to buckle up and begin the countdown. Then, as they
had done so many times in their backyard, they counted
down from ten, anticipating a wonderful space adventure, except this
(08:24):
time they wouldn't be having that space adventure in their imagination,
in their backyard. All the planets, stars and galaxies they
would be flying past would be real, and they couldn't
wait to see it.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
All.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Space Shuttle start us rumbled as the turbo thrusters turned on.
Then as Levi and Ivy counted three, two one, they
blasted straight through the open ceiling in the giant garage,
and in no time, Levi, Ivy and Professor Quasar were
zooming through the atmosphere, heading toward an adventure unlike any other.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Minutes past.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
As Levi and I stared out the Space Shuttle's circular windows,
they watched as a million stars surrounded them, shining brightly
against the darkness of space. Then all of a sudden,
the shuttle settled down and began to drift along calmly
and slowly. Great job, you two, You are officially on
your first Space Shuttle ride. How does it feel, asked
(09:20):
Professor Quasar. Levi and Ivy couldn't answer. No words could
convey how exciting and breathtaking it was, but the smile
on their faces told Professor Quasar all he needed to know.
He told them to enjoy the view as he navigated
to space station Nebula. As they sat and watched the
wonders of space and full before them, Levi and Ivy
suddenly realized they both had a question to ask Professor Quasar. Hey, Professor,
(09:44):
while we're drifting along, do you think it would be
okay if we unbuckled our seatbelts and had a chance
to float around in zero gravity?
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Asked Levi.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
I don't see why not, said Professor Quasar. It's one
of the most fun things about being up here. Have fun,
but just watch out so that you don't bump into anything.
Levi and Ivy barely let him finish his sentence before
they unbuckled their seatbelts and let zero gravity take over.
They floated around gently, sailing from one end of the
shuttle to the other, laughing and giggling the whole time.
(10:14):
They did space slips mid air and bounced gently off
the walls, being careful to avoid any knobs, buttons, or switches.
As they were floating around, Levi made his way over
to one of the windows.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Ivy, can you believe this is what we're doing right now?
Said Levi.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Ivy didn't respond because she was too busy seeing what
it felt like to dance in zero gravity. In case
you're wondering, it's awesome. Levi continued to stare out the
window and let his imagination take over as he thought
of all the amazing things they could see that day.
Something caught his eye. He turned his head quickly, but
didn't see anything. Going back to his daydream, Levi saw
(10:53):
something move again, just out of you. He called Ivy
over to his window to have a look. He thought
maybe it was just his mud I'm playing tricks on him.
But when Ivy came over and looked out the window,
he noticed something was moving as well, and that's when
they saw it. Polaine's Day, a real life. Hey friends,
what do you think it's going to be?
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Shout it out? Alien?
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Screamed Levi and Ivy as they pushed themselves back from
the window and went floating into the control panel by
Professor Quasar.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Kids, please watch out.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
We don't want to press any buttons we're not supposed to,
said Professor Quasar, turning around just in time to see
the scared looks on their faces.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
What's wrong?
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Ivy and Levi couldn't speak, and instead just pointed out
the window. Professor Quasar floated over to see what was
going on for himself. As he looked out the window,
he laughed and turned back around with a big smile
on his face. I see you've met Sara, said Professor.
She's a space friend of mine from planet Glimmern. She
always likes to say hello to any passing shuttles.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
I'll let her in.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
You can say hello to her yourself. Levi and Ivy
immediately felt because Professor Quasar knew the little alien, and
now we're very excited to meet her. After the Professor
allowed Zara to enter the space shuttle, Levi and Ivy
quickly found themselves standing in front of the cutest purple
and blue alien they had ever seen in person. More specifically,
it was the only purple and blue alien Levi and
(12:17):
Ivy had ever seen in person. Hello Zara, it's great
to see you again, said Professor Quasar before introducing his
friends to Levi and Ivy. Wow you're a real alien,
said Levi. And you're a real person, said Zara, with
a look of amazement on her face. No matter how
many times I meet a person, I just can't believe
(12:38):
they really exist. So what brings you to my part
of the galaxy, Professor? We're up here to make a
quick run by space Station Nebula. The video connection has
been down for a few days, so we just came
up here to fix it, replied Professor Quasar.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
So just a quick trip.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Oh No, If I were you, I'd stay far away
from space Station Nebula as possible, answered Zara, with a
concern look on her face.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
How about you take a quick stop on.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
My home planet of glimmer On and I'll tell you
all about it. But what could Zara have to tell
Professor Quasar? Levi and Ivy what was wrong with space
Station Nebula. They had to find out, so off they
went to Glimmern. Once on glimmer On, Levi and Ivy
had lots of questions, but none of them had to
(13:24):
do with the space station Nebula. What is that amazing plant,
asked Ivy, the one with the bright knee on pink
circular flowers and the electric green vines. And what was
that thing that just flew over my head?
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Asked Levi.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
It looked like a little bear with butterfly wings. Zara
was so charmed by Levi and Ivy and all their questions.
She took the time to answer them all before filling
in the professor. Those plants are rosy ringles. They're my
absolute favorite. So pretty and so tasty, said Zara. And
the flying creature you just saw was my pet baby.
It's a bear fly. I think they're the cutest animals
(13:59):
in all of glenm I think so too, said Levi
with wide eyes as Ivy smelled the beautiful rosy ringles.
So now that everyone has met your adorable bearfly, what
is going on at space Station Nebula, asked Professor Kazar.
I was just there the other day and I noticed
that it was completely covered into Morgans, the little aliens
(14:20):
from planet smorg Beganzara. You know how mischievous and playful
they are. Well, they've taken over space Station Nebula as
their new playground, so I'm pretty sure that whatever is
wrong with your camera up there, they did it. Oh no,
said Professor Quasar.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
What's wrong? Asked Ivy.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Can't you just go up to the space station and
ask them politely to leave? Unfortunately, No, Once Morgans find
a place to play, they're very difficult to move, said
Professor Quasar. But we have to get them off the
space station and get the camera fixed. That camera allows
us to view the whole galaxy. The images we capture
give scientists like me so much valuable information that we
(15:01):
can better understand everything that goes on up here. We
need to move those s Morgans in the name of science.
Zara then gave Levi and Ivy a quick class on
s Morgans and how they.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Act, and before long they all knew what they were
up against.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
So loose little aliens love to play, said Levi, any game,
any puzzle, any activity.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
They just want to move around and have fun, added Ivy.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
So we just need to figure out how we can
turn getting control of the space station into a fun game. Yep,
that'll be the hard part, said Zara. They are very
smart and we'll know if we are trying to trick them.
So the space station was getting destroyed more and more
by the silly antics of the s Morgans. Zara, Levi
and Ivy, and Professor Quasar were trying to come up
with the plan. Space Shuttle Startus continued to make its
(15:49):
way toward the space station. As the team thought and thought,
maybe we can play hide and seek, and then we
all hide on another planet, suggested Levi. Then when the
small all come over to find us, eventually we can
convince them to all stay there. Good idea, But we
don't have that much time, said Zara. It could take
them days to move from planet to planet looking for us.
(16:12):
They would definitely love an extra long game of hide
and seek, but Professor Quasar already told me that you
have to be back on Earth in a few hours.
How about if we give them something to get off
the space station, like their favorite treat, suggested Ivy. I know,
I always do what mom and dad asked me if
they tell me, I'll get a cookie. Another good thought,
But Morgans only eat galactic goo goos. They're kind of
(16:35):
like cookies. But after the s Morgans.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Eat them, they get even more energetic, said Zara.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
They'll probably just be interested in playing more after getting
all filled up on those space treats. Professor Quasar continued
to steer the space shuttle towards space Station Nebula. As
outside in the darkness of space, a large cloud began
to form right where they were headed. We're almost there,
everyone called out, Professor, have we come up with our idea, yet, Zara, Levi,
(17:02):
and Ivy looked at each other, scratching their heads and
still hoping they would figure out what to do.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Wait a minute, said Zara. S Morgan's love to play.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
It's all they do, so they have become really good
at winning, of course, but also losing. So all we
have to do is challenge them to a game and
hope they all lose. We can say that before we
start that the winner will get control of the space station.
They won't put up a fight if we win, fair
and square. Levi and Ivy loved the idea, and we're
confident that if they work together, they could win no
(17:32):
matter what the game was. Sounds like a great plan.
How about we play soccer, or baseball or even basketball,
said Levi. Yeah, Levi and I are good at all
of those sports, added Ivy with a smile. I'm sure
both of you are very skilled at those earthling games.
But since we're in outer space, we're in s Morgan territory,
and we need to pick one of their games to play,
(17:54):
said Zara. Zara then went on to tell Levi and
Ivy about several different games they could pick from tag
a rang, which is tag but with a boomerang that
you have to catch and throw while running. Twister Twirl,
which is a version of Twister, but you play it
while twirling around the rings of a near black planet.
Hopscotch horse Play, which is pretty self explanatory. It's Hopscotch
(18:16):
but on a space horse. And finally, we have Meteorite
Mix Up, which is where the players dodge some meteorites
while catching others to score points. Hey, friends, if you
had to pick one of those games to play, which
would be your favorite. The Morgans are known all over
the galaxy for being the best when it comes to
the Meteorite mix Up, but as soon as Levi and
(18:37):
Ivy heard the description of the game, they were all
about it.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
That's the one, called out Levi.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Yep, we want to play Meteorite Mix Up against the
best Morgans you've got, said Ivy. I know we can't win,
I just know it. Zara could not have been happier.
She loved Meteorite Mix Up and quickly explained the main
points of the game to her future teammates. As they
talked about what their strategy would be against this Morgan's
professor Quasar updated them on the weather they were heading into.
(19:06):
So we have good news and bad news, said the Professor.
The good news is you'll have plenty of meteorites flying
around you for your meteorite mix up game. The bad
news is it may be way too many. We're heading
into a pretty big meteorite storm right now. As the
Professor gave everyone the news, they looked out the Space
Shuttle's window, only to see a storm brewing. The galaxy
(19:27):
around them was growing darker, and they could hear the
meteorites outside clinking and clanking against the side of the shuttle.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Oh wow, said Zara, How lucky are you.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
You're very a first meteorite mix up game and it's
in the middle of a meteorite storm. Levin and Ivy
looked a little nervous as they stared at each other.
They didn't know if they felt as happy as Zara
did with this particular news.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
You'll be totally fine.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Just follow my lead, said Zara, reassuringly, and before they
knew it, Professor Quasar was docking the Space Shuttle right
next to Space Station Nebula.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
We're here, everyone called out the professor.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
I'll stay here with the Space Shuttle Stardust and keep
an eye on you from here. Zara, you're in charge
of Levi and Ivy out there. Remember we only have
a couple of hours. Now I have to get them
back home. You can count on me, Professor called back Zara.
She was getting Levi and Ivy into their space suits.
Once they were suited up, they exited space Shuttle Stardust
and headed towards space Station Nebula in a small spacecraft.
(20:24):
Once they reached the space station, they hopped out and
were ready to meet this Morgans. As soon as Zara, Levi,
and Ivy were on the space station, they saw just
how much damage this Morgans had done to the video equipment.
The camera lens was broken and the entire structure it
was attached to was almost falling off the space station. Zara,
not wanting to waste any time, waved to one of
this Morgans and said hello. She explained the idea of
(20:46):
playing a game of the meteorite mix up for the
control of the space station, and this is how it went,
laughed this Morgans as they crowded around Zara, Levi and Ivy.
There's no way you could ever win, said one of
this Morgans, especially two Earthlings on your team. But you
know us, we love to play, so we'll definitely defeat
I mean play against the three of you. The Morgans
(21:08):
passed out the meteorite mix up bags that they used
to carry the meteorites that each team catches. All the
meteorites caught per team were totaled up at the end,
and the team with the most wins. Aszar tried to
pump up Levi and Ivy going over the rules one
more time, the meteorite storms started to intensify. Space rocks
of all shapes and sizes started to rain down on them,
bouncing off the space station and.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Flying this way and that. It seems like a great
time to start our game, called out one of the Morgans.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
On your mark, get said go, And just like that,
Levi and Ivy's first game of meteorite mix up was underway.
The space winds began to blow, and the space rocks
were flying faster and faster. Remember, Levi and Ivy catch
the meteorites that are about the size of your Earth's baseballs,
calledouts are over all the commotion. Anything bigger or smaller,
(21:55):
don't let it hit you. The others Morgans are watching,
and we'll take away a point for every meet that
touches you. Got it, called out Levi and Ivy. Lucky
for Zara and for Space Station Nebula. Levi and Ivy
caught on to games very quickly.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
I got one, t Sara.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Yelled out Ivy with a smile on her face. Great,
put that meteorite in your bag and keep going.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Call back, Zara.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
I got one too, called out Levi, feeling very proud
of himself until he Zara and Ivy turned to see
all this. This Morgans that were playing grabbing nearly every baseball
sized meteorite that came anywhere near them. We have to
work extra hard to win, call out Zara. We knew
that coming into this game.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Remember we have to win this game in the name
of science.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
As Zara was giving her PEP talk, Levi and Ivy
looked towards Space Shuttle start Us and saw Professor Kuazar
looking out at them from one of the shuttle windows.
He was giving them a thumbs up. He trusted them
and believed they could win. He knew that he could
get Space Station Nebula back so he could fix it.
And once again be able to study and learn all
about the mysteries of outer space.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
VI Ivy loved.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Science so much that they knew they had to do
everything they could to win. They didn't want to let
Professor Quasar Zara or the rest of the world of
science down. That's when they turned it up. In a
matter of minutes. They dove, dipped, jumped and flew to
grab every meteorite they could. They also zig zag, himming
and shook to avoid letting any of the sneaky space
(23:20):
rocks touch them. And after what seemed like a light year,
one of the s Morgans, who was watching over the
meteorite mixup games, signaled.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
That it was over.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Everyone playing was instructed to take their meteorite bags to
the judges for counting. The S Morgans has always had
a very impressive showing one thousand and nine meteorites have
been collected by the S Morgans with no penalties or
points taken away for getting hit, said one of the judges.
All the Smorgans applauded and cheered loudly. Now on to
(23:50):
the Earth Lanes and Zara from Planet glimmer On, said
the judge as he took out each meteorite. Zara, Levi,
and Ivy tried to count along, but lost track as
the meteorites piled up on the ground. It may be close,
whispered Levi to Ivy, But will it be enough?
Speaker 2 (24:06):
She whispered back.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
When the judge was done counting up their meteorites, he
wrote down the number and turned to his fellow judges.
Levi and Ivy couldn't tell by the look on their
faces whether they had won or lost. They were nervous
and didn't know what they would do if they didn't win.
How would they face Professor Quasar. They didn't want to
let him down. At that moment, they saw that Professor
had ventured out of the space shuttle to hear the
(24:29):
final ruling. He walked toward them with his thumbs up
and a smile on his face. Gather around everyone called
out one of the Morgan judges. It looks like we
have a winner, called out one of the other s,
Morgans starting to cheer for his team. No, not exactly,
said the judge.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
It looks like we have a tie.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
The Earth Lanes and Zara also collected one thousand and
nine meteorites. Well, what are we gonna do now, asked
the professor Quasar. They only said they would leave space
Station Nebula if they lost. We never decided what we
would do in case of a tie. Levi and Ivy
couldn't believe their ears. They were frustrated and upset and
all the commotion, Ivy kicked the bag she had been
(25:09):
collecting her meteorites in, and that's when she noticed something,
something really hard in her bag. Ow cried out Ivy,
what's wrong, called Zara my bag. I kicked it and
something inside it really hurt my foot, answered Ivy as
she floated around.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
We didn't win, and now I hurt my foot. What
a day.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
That's when Zara put backs together and knew exactly what
was an Ivy's meteorite bag. She ran over to the bag,
picked it up, and reached inside, and there it was
exactly what she thought she'd find.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
One more meteorite, one.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
And ten oney ten, called Alzara.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
We didn't tie. We won, we caught one and ten meteorites. Look.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
The sch Morgan judge was shocked when he turned around
and saw Zara holding up one last baseball sized meteorite. Wow,
she's right, said the judge, the winner of the meteorite
mix up is Zara and the Earth leans. The Morgans
could not believe what they were hearing, but after the
initial shock wore off, they congratulated the Wieners. The Morgans,
after all, loved games so much that they had all
(26:14):
learned how to be good winners and good losers. Congratulations, Zara,
you and your friends beat us fair and square, said
the Morgans.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
The space station is all yours.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Then, as quickly as they had taken over the space
station Nebula, this Morgans were off, ready to find a
new place to play. Professor Quasar floated over and congratulated
Zara Levine IVY.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Thank you all so much.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
I knew you could do it. I never had a doubt,
said the Professor. I wish we had more time to celebrate,
but we're running out of time and we need to
get to the space station camera back up and running
before we head home. Zara Levine Ivy all jumped into action,
following the Professor's lead and doing whatever he asked of them.
After about an hour or so of working in the
midst of a meteorite storm, the camera on the space
(26:56):
station was fully up and working again. Then, once back
in space station shuttle start Us, Professor Quasar was able
to thank Zara again for all her help and say
goodbye until next time, my friend, said the professor. I'm
looking forward to it, replied Zara. It's always so much
fun when you stop by for a visit. Maybe next
time you can bring Levi and Ivy again. We love that,
(27:19):
shouted Levi and Ivy together. I'd love that too, said
Professor Quasar, and with that they all said a final goodbye,
and off they flew back to Earth, with Tzara waving
goodbye from planet Glimmero on a space shuttle start Us
landed gracefully back in the large garage at the Science Museum,
Professor Quasar once again thanked Levi and Ivy for their
bravery and hard work. Once out of the space shuttle
(27:39):
and back into the lab, they watched as the professor
turned the space station camera back on once again, they
were able to see all the wonders of the universe.
It looks like we made it back just in time,
said the professor, as Levi and Ivy's parents walked through
the door of his lab, led by a security guard.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
From the museum. So how was your day, asked Levi
and Ivy's dad. Did you what's fun in the lab?
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Doing lots of fun science and space stuff, asked their mom.
Levi and Ivy giggled as they looked at each other
and back at Professor Quasar.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Yep, lots of fun in the lab.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Said Ivy. Just a regular old day at the museum,
added Levi. They are welcome back here anytime, said Professor Quasar.
I can't wait to see what amazing scientists they'll become
one day. That's so nice of you to say, said
Levin Ivy's dad as he caught sight of the screens
displaying the camera's view from space station Nebula. Wow, that
(28:32):
look into the galaxy is breathtaking. Can you imagine what
it would be like to be up there? Asked Levin
and Ivy's mom, taking a closer look at the screen. Yep,
I think I could, whispered Levi to Ivy as she
gave her brother a wink and a smile. Thanks for

Speaker 3 (00:31):
Enough about that, let's get too Today's super Live Ay
Lewis story.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Three two one blast off, shouted Levi as he laid
in the grass in his backyard.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
He stared up at his crystal blue sky as clouds
drifted by overhead next to him. Ivy watched as well.
Captain Levi, check, Captain Levi. This is Captain Ivy. We
are now leaving the atmosphere, said Ivy as she tended
to push buttons and flip switches on an imaginary control panel.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
In front of her.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Excellent Captain Ivy called Levi back as he flipped imaginary
levers and switches another successful launch. We'll be back exploring
outer space in no time. The two brave explorers then
let their minds create a galactic wonderland.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
All around them.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
What they once knew was their backyard was now transformed
in their minds to the outer reaches of the galaxy.
Levi and Ivy were now flying through a starfield sky,
dodging meteors and setting their sights on their next space adventure.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
That was until Levi Ivy, it's time for dinner.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Called their mom, interrupting their daydream and shaking them right
back into the reality of their own backyard. Mom, we
were just about to land on a brand new planet,
said Ivy as she stood up.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Yeah. I was thinking we were going to name it
Levi Topia.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
That has a nice ring to it, don't you think,
asked Levi as he stood up next to Ivy. Not
as nice as ivy Topia, said Ivy the giggle. I
bet on your planet it would rain cheeseburgers and every
day would be Saturday. Sounds good to me, answered Levi.
And I bet your planet would be covered in marshmallow
trees and chocolate milk rivers. Right exactly, said Ivy as
(02:15):
she walked toward the house with a big smile. Well,
you can tell us all about your space adventure over dinner,
said their mom. Now let's head inside and get washed up.
Once Levi and Ivy sat down at the table, they
noticed that their dad had a.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Big smile on his face.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
They got really excited, wondering what was the big surprise
he had to tell them. So we're going on a
trip tomorrow, said Levi and Ivy's dad. Tomorrow, We're going
to the Science Museum to see the brand new space
Exploration exhibit. Exclaimed Levi and Ivy at the same time.
Well sort of, answered their dad. I got you to
a special meet and greet with Professor Quasar. He's the
(02:52):
lead scientist on the new Space Shuttle three thousand project.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Levi and Ivy couldn't believe what they were hearing.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
They knew all about Professor Quasar and we're over the
moon that they were going to get to meet him
in person. It was even better than seeing the new
museum exhibit. I have so many questions for Professor Quasar,
said Levi, Like what kind of turbo boosters are they
using on the new Space Shuttle, and when is the
test flight? And how far can it go? And how
fast can it go? And has he ever discovered a
(03:20):
new planet in one of his missions?
Speaker 2 (03:22):
And has he ever wished him a shooting star? Well
in outer space? Added Ivy, interrupting Levi.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
And what does it feel like to be waitless? And
what are they going to name the space shuttle? And
can we take a ride on it too? Ivy and
Levi had a giant list of questions that they would
be asking the Professor when they met him the next day,
and as dinner went on, it grew and grew. Now, kiddos,
I know Professor Quasar is very excited to meet you,
but maybe we wait on one hundred and one questions
(03:49):
until after we say hello, joke their dad as he
ate his dinner. You think we're going to ask him
one hundred and one questions, asked Ivy, looking the shocked
at the number. Because clear, we're going to ask him
like one thousand and one questions, laughed Levi. After all,
outer space is massive and filled with so many unanswered questions.
How long are we going to meet him?
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Anyways?
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Levi and Ivy's dad went on to tell him that
they would be with Professor Quasar for the whole day,
assisting him in his lab and learning all about the
Space Shuttle three thousand project. After dinner, Levi and Ivy
got ready for bed and made a wish on a
shooting star. Both wished that their time with Professor Quasar
would be a day they would never forget. The next
morning could not arrive fast enough, and when Levi and
(04:32):
Ivy's parents woke up, they found their two excited space
explorers had already eaten breakfast, gotten dressed, and were waiting
to head over to the Science Museum. In no time
at all, Levi and Ivy found themselves running up the
giant stone stairs that led to the museum, and waiting
for them when they arrived was, of course, Professor Quigar, shouted,
Levi and Ivy together. We are such big fans of you,
(04:55):
Ivy continued, and we can't wait to spend the day
with you, learning everything we can about space and the
Space Shuttle three thousand project, and maybe, just.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Maybe we could get a ride on the shuttle.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Levi and Ivy both laughed, as did Professor Quasar. Well
you never know exactly what will happen here at the
Space Museum, answered the Professor, but I do know we
have a great time no matter what we do. Levi
and Ivy said goodbye to their parents and followed Professor
Quasar down a long hallway, passing a sign that said
employees only. Professor Quasar didn't waste any time once they
(05:27):
all got into his lab, Levi and Ivy, I am
so happy to have you join me today. I know
how much you love space travel, and we need to
move quickly if we're going to fit everything in that
i'd like to show you today, began Professor Quasar.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Well we have all day, answered Levi. So why the
big rush?
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Why all day does seem like a good amount of
time to spend here at the museum. It's just the
right amount of time to fly back and forth to
outer space, said Professor Quasar in a calm voice as
he looked at the clipboard filled with notes and numbers.
I guess you're right, answered Ivy, as what Professor quasars
had said slowly sank in, and once it did, she
and Levi didn't know how to react. Wait a minute,
(06:10):
did you just say we're flying to outer space today?
Asked Levi, sunning shocked and unbelievably excited.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
An outer space trip on Space Shuttle three thousand.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Shot at Ivy just as excited as Levi. Not exactly,
said the professor, making Levi and Ivy very confused. We
don't call it Space Shuttle three thousand anymore. It's now
called Space Shuttle Stardust. And as he said that, he
opened two large doors that led into a giant garage.
Inside the massive garage was the biggest space shuttle Levi
and Ivy had ever seen in person. More specifically, it
(06:44):
was the only space shuttle Levin Ivy had ever seen
in person. We can't waste any more time. We need
to hop aboard right now, said Professor Kuwasar. It's perfectly safe,
and no one knows more about this shuttle than I do.
And if everything goes according to plan I've mapped out,
we'll be back just in time for your parents to
pick you up. You see, I have taken this trip
today because I need to check on the space station Nebula.
(07:06):
The cameras that we installed to monitor the surrounding galaxy
here at the museum are not transmitting any signal. I'm
sure it's nothing I can't fix quickly, Levi and Ivy
just stood there and listened to Professor Quasar talk as
he gave them space suits and instructed them how to
put them on. He continued telling the excited young space
explorers about their mission as he walked them onto the
Space shuttle start US and closed the giant exterior door
(07:28):
behind them. So, yeah, that's it, pretty straightforward and simple,
said Professor Quasar to Levi and Ivy, who thought this
twist to their museum visit sounded amazing but definitely not simple.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Are you sure everything will be okay?
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Asked Ivy, Absolutely, answered Professor Quasar. The first trip on
a new shuttle is always my favorite first trip, said
Levi's eyes got wide. So we'll be going into space
on your new shuttles first ever, lawn, Could this take
it any better?
Speaker 2 (08:02):
It could. The possibilities in space.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Are endless, so you never know what amazing things you'll
see or do, said Professor Quasar reassuringly, and with not
another minute to spare, Professor Quasar told Levi and Ivy
to buckle up and begin the countdown. Then, as they
had done so many times in their backyard, they counted
down from ten, anticipating a wonderful space adventure, except this
(08:24):
time they wouldn't be having that space adventure in their imagination,
in their backyard. All the planets, stars and galaxies they
would be flying past would be real, and they couldn't
wait to see it.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
All.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Space Shuttle start us rumbled as the turbo thrusters turned on.
Then as Levi and Ivy counted three, two one, they
blasted straight through the open ceiling in the giant garage,
and in no time, Levi, Ivy and Professor Quasar were
zooming through the atmosphere, heading toward an adventure unlike any other.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Minutes past.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
As Levi and I stared out the Space Shuttle's circular windows,
they watched as a million stars surrounded them, shining brightly
against the darkness of space. Then all of a sudden,
the shuttle settled down and began to drift along calmly
and slowly. Great job, you two, You are officially on
your first Space Shuttle ride. How does it feel, asked
(09:20):
Professor Quasar. Levi and Ivy couldn't answer. No words could
convey how exciting and breathtaking it was, but the smile
on their faces told Professor Quasar all he needed to know.
He told them to enjoy the view as he navigated
to space station Nebula. As they sat and watched the
wonders of space and full before them, Levi and Ivy
suddenly realized they both had a question to ask Professor Quasar. Hey, Professor,
(09:44):
while we're drifting along, do you think it would be
okay if we unbuckled our seatbelts and had a chance
to float around in zero gravity?
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Asked Levi.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
I don't see why not, said Professor Quasar. It's one
of the most fun things about being up here. Have fun,
but just watch out so that you don't bump into anything.
Levi and Ivy barely let him finish his sentence before
they unbuckled their seatbelts and let zero gravity take over.
They floated around gently, sailing from one end of the
shuttle to the other, laughing and giggling the whole time.
(10:14):
They did space slips mid air and bounced gently off
the walls, being careful to avoid any knobs, buttons, or switches.
As they were floating around, Levi made his way over
to one of the windows.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Ivy, can you believe this is what we're doing right now?
Said Levi.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Ivy didn't respond because she was too busy seeing what
it felt like to dance in zero gravity. In case
you're wondering, it's awesome. Levi continued to stare out the
window and let his imagination take over as he thought
of all the amazing things they could see that day.
Something caught his eye. He turned his head quickly, but
didn't see anything. Going back to his daydream, Levi saw
(10:53):
something move again, just out of you. He called Ivy
over to his window to have a look. He thought
maybe it was just his mud I'm playing tricks on him.
But when Ivy came over and looked out the window,
he noticed something was moving as well, and that's when
they saw it. Polaine's Day, a real life. Hey friends,
what do you think it's going to be?
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Shout it out? Alien?
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Screamed Levi and Ivy as they pushed themselves back from
the window and went floating into the control panel by
Professor Quasar.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Kids, please watch out.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
We don't want to press any buttons we're not supposed to,
said Professor Quasar, turning around just in time to see
the scared looks on their faces.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
What's wrong?
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Ivy and Levi couldn't speak, and instead just pointed out
the window. Professor Quasar floated over to see what was
going on for himself. As he looked out the window,
he laughed and turned back around with a big smile
on his face. I see you've met Sara, said Professor.
She's a space friend of mine from planet Glimmern. She
always likes to say hello to any passing shuttles.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
I'll let her in.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
You can say hello to her yourself. Levi and Ivy
immediately felt because Professor Quasar knew the little alien, and
now we're very excited to meet her. After the Professor
allowed Zara to enter the space shuttle, Levi and Ivy
quickly found themselves standing in front of the cutest purple
and blue alien they had ever seen in person. More specifically,
it was the only purple and blue alien Levi and
(12:17):
Ivy had ever seen in person. Hello Zara, it's great
to see you again, said Professor Quasar before introducing his
friends to Levi and Ivy. Wow you're a real alien,
said Levi. And you're a real person, said Zara, with
a look of amazement on her face. No matter how
many times I meet a person, I just can't believe
(12:38):
they really exist. So what brings you to my part
of the galaxy, Professor? We're up here to make a
quick run by space Station Nebula. The video connection has
been down for a few days, so we just came
up here to fix it, replied Professor Quasar.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
So just a quick trip.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Oh No, If I were you, I'd stay far away
from space Station Nebula as possible, answered Zara, with a
concern look on her face.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
How about you take a quick stop on.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
My home planet of glimmer On and I'll tell you
all about it. But what could Zara have to tell
Professor Quasar? Levi and Ivy what was wrong with space
Station Nebula. They had to find out, so off they
went to Glimmern. Once on glimmer On, Levi and Ivy
had lots of questions, but none of them had to
(13:24):
do with the space station Nebula. What is that amazing plant,
asked Ivy, the one with the bright knee on pink
circular flowers and the electric green vines. And what was
that thing that just flew over my head?
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Asked Levi.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
It looked like a little bear with butterfly wings. Zara
was so charmed by Levi and Ivy and all their questions.
She took the time to answer them all before filling
in the professor. Those plants are rosy ringles. They're my
absolute favorite. So pretty and so tasty, said Zara. And
the flying creature you just saw was my pet baby.
It's a bear fly. I think they're the cutest animals
(13:59):
in all of glenm I think so too, said Levi
with wide eyes as Ivy smelled the beautiful rosy ringles.
So now that everyone has met your adorable bearfly, what
is going on at space Station Nebula, asked Professor Kazar.
I was just there the other day and I noticed
that it was completely covered into Morgans, the little aliens
(14:20):
from planet smorg Beganzara. You know how mischievous and playful
they are. Well, they've taken over space Station Nebula as
their new playground, so I'm pretty sure that whatever is
wrong with your camera up there, they did it. Oh no,
said Professor Quasar.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
What's wrong? Asked Ivy.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Can't you just go up to the space station and
ask them politely to leave? Unfortunately, No, Once Morgans find
a place to play, they're very difficult to move, said
Professor Quasar. But we have to get them off the
space station and get the camera fixed. That camera allows
us to view the whole galaxy. The images we capture
give scientists like me so much valuable information that we
(15:01):
can better understand everything that goes on up here. We
need to move those s Morgans in the name of science.
Zara then gave Levi and Ivy a quick class on
s Morgans and how they.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Act, and before long they all knew what they were
up against.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
So loose little aliens love to play, said Levi, any game,
any puzzle, any activity.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
They just want to move around and have fun, added Ivy.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
So we just need to figure out how we can
turn getting control of the space station into a fun game. Yep,
that'll be the hard part, said Zara. They are very
smart and we'll know if we are trying to trick them.
So the space station was getting destroyed more and more
by the silly antics of the s Morgans. Zara, Levi
and Ivy, and Professor Quasar were trying to come up
with the plan. Space Shuttle Startus continued to make its
(15:49):
way toward the space station. As the team thought and thought,
maybe we can play hide and seek, and then we
all hide on another planet, suggested Levi. Then when the
small all come over to find us, eventually we can
convince them to all stay there. Good idea, But we
don't have that much time, said Zara. It could take
them days to move from planet to planet looking for us.
(16:12):
They would definitely love an extra long game of hide
and seek, but Professor Quasar already told me that you
have to be back on Earth in a few hours.
How about if we give them something to get off
the space station, like their favorite treat, suggested Ivy. I know,
I always do what mom and dad asked me if
they tell me, I'll get a cookie. Another good thought,
But Morgans only eat galactic goo goos. They're kind of
(16:35):
like cookies. But after the s Morgans.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Eat them, they get even more energetic, said Zara.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
They'll probably just be interested in playing more after getting
all filled up on those space treats. Professor Quasar continued
to steer the space shuttle towards space Station Nebula. As
outside in the darkness of space, a large cloud began
to form right where they were headed. We're almost there,
everyone called out, Professor, have we come up with our idea, yet, Zara, Levi,
(17:02):
and Ivy looked at each other, scratching their heads and
still hoping they would figure out what to do.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Wait a minute, said Zara. S Morgan's love to play.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
It's all they do, so they have become really good
at winning, of course, but also losing. So all we
have to do is challenge them to a game and
hope they all lose. We can say that before we
start that the winner will get control of the space station.
They won't put up a fight if we win, fair
and square. Levi and Ivy loved the idea, and we're
confident that if they work together, they could win no
(17:32):
matter what the game was. Sounds like a great plan.
How about we play soccer, or baseball or even basketball,
said Levi. Yeah, Levi and I are good at all
of those sports, added Ivy with a smile. I'm sure
both of you are very skilled at those earthling games.
But since we're in outer space, we're in s Morgan territory,
and we need to pick one of their games to play,
(17:54):
said Zara. Zara then went on to tell Levi and
Ivy about several different games they could pick from tag
a rang, which is tag but with a boomerang that
you have to catch and throw while running. Twister Twirl,
which is a version of Twister, but you play it
while twirling around the rings of a near black planet.
Hopscotch horse Play, which is pretty self explanatory. It's Hopscotch
(18:16):
but on a space horse. And finally, we have Meteorite
Mix Up, which is where the players dodge some meteorites
while catching others to score points. Hey, friends, if you
had to pick one of those games to play, which
would be your favorite. The Morgans are known all over
the galaxy for being the best when it comes to
the Meteorite mix Up, but as soon as Levi and
(18:37):
Ivy heard the description of the game, they were all
about it.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
That's the one, called out Levi.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Yep, we want to play Meteorite Mix Up against the
best Morgans you've got, said Ivy. I know we can't win,
I just know it. Zara could not have been happier.
She loved Meteorite Mix Up and quickly explained the main
points of the game to her future teammates. As they
talked about what their strategy would be against this Morgan's
professor Quasar updated them on the weather they were heading into.
(19:06):
So we have good news and bad news, said the Professor.
The good news is you'll have plenty of meteorites flying
around you for your meteorite mix up game. The bad
news is it may be way too many. We're heading
into a pretty big meteorite storm right now. As the
Professor gave everyone the news, they looked out the Space
Shuttle's window, only to see a storm brewing. The galaxy
(19:27):
around them was growing darker, and they could hear the
meteorites outside clinking and clanking against the side of the shuttle.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Oh wow, said Zara, How lucky are you.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
You're very a first meteorite mix up game and it's
in the middle of a meteorite storm. Levin and Ivy
looked a little nervous as they stared at each other.
They didn't know if they felt as happy as Zara
did with this particular news.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
You'll be totally fine.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Just follow my lead, said Zara, reassuringly, and before they
knew it, Professor Quasar was docking the Space Shuttle right
next to Space Station Nebula.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
We're here, everyone called out the professor.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
I'll stay here with the Space Shuttle Stardust and keep
an eye on you from here. Zara, you're in charge
of Levi and Ivy out there. Remember we only have
a couple of hours. Now I have to get them
back home. You can count on me, Professor called back Zara.
She was getting Levi and Ivy into their space suits.
Once they were suited up, they exited space Shuttle Stardust
and headed towards space Station Nebula in a small spacecraft.
(20:24):
Once they reached the space station, they hopped out and
were ready to meet this Morgans. As soon as Zara, Levi,
and Ivy were on the space station, they saw just
how much damage this Morgans had done to the video equipment.
The camera lens was broken and the entire structure it
was attached to was almost falling off the space station. Zara,
not wanting to waste any time, waved to one of
this Morgans and said hello. She explained the idea of
(20:46):
playing a game of the meteorite mix up for the
control of the space station, and this is how it went,
laughed this Morgans as they crowded around Zara, Levi and Ivy.
There's no way you could ever win, said one of
this Morgans, especially two Earthlings on your team. But you
know us, we love to play, so we'll definitely defeat
I mean play against the three of you. The Morgans
(21:08):
passed out the meteorite mix up bags that they used
to carry the meteorites that each team catches. All the
meteorites caught per team were totaled up at the end,
and the team with the most wins. Aszar tried to
pump up Levi and Ivy going over the rules one
more time, the meteorite storms started to intensify. Space rocks
of all shapes and sizes started to rain down on them,
bouncing off the space station and.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Flying this way and that. It seems like a great
time to start our game, called out one of the Morgans.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
On your mark, get said go, And just like that,
Levi and Ivy's first game of meteorite mix up was underway.
The space winds began to blow, and the space rocks
were flying faster and faster. Remember, Levi and Ivy catch
the meteorites that are about the size of your Earth's baseballs,
calledouts are over all the commotion. Anything bigger or smaller,
(21:55):
don't let it hit you. The others Morgans are watching,
and we'll take away a point for every meet that
touches you. Got it, called out Levi and Ivy. Lucky
for Zara and for Space Station Nebula. Levi and Ivy
caught on to games very quickly.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
I got one, t Sara.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Yelled out Ivy with a smile on her face. Great,
put that meteorite in your bag and keep going.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Call back, Zara.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
I got one too, called out Levi, feeling very proud
of himself until he Zara and Ivy turned to see
all this. This Morgans that were playing grabbing nearly every baseball
sized meteorite that came anywhere near them. We have to
work extra hard to win, call out Zara. We knew
that coming into this game.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Remember we have to win this game in the name
of science.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
As Zara was giving her PEP talk, Levi and Ivy
looked towards Space Shuttle start Us and saw Professor Kuazar
looking out at them from one of the shuttle windows.
He was giving them a thumbs up. He trusted them
and believed they could win. He knew that he could
get Space Station Nebula back so he could fix it.
And once again be able to study and learn all
about the mysteries of outer space.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
VI Ivy loved.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Science so much that they knew they had to do
everything they could to win. They didn't want to let
Professor Quasar Zara or the rest of the world of
science down. That's when they turned it up. In a
matter of minutes. They dove, dipped, jumped and flew to
grab every meteorite they could. They also zig zag, himming
and shook to avoid letting any of the sneaky space
(23:20):
rocks touch them. And after what seemed like a light year,
one of the s Morgans, who was watching over the
meteorite mixup games, signaled.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
That it was over.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Everyone playing was instructed to take their meteorite bags to
the judges for counting. The S Morgans has always had
a very impressive showing one thousand and nine meteorites have
been collected by the S Morgans with no penalties or
points taken away for getting hit, said one of the judges.
All the Smorgans applauded and cheered loudly. Now on to
(23:50):
the Earth Lanes and Zara from Planet glimmer On, said
the judge as he took out each meteorite. Zara, Levi,
and Ivy tried to count along, but lost track as
the meteorites piled up on the ground. It may be close,
whispered Levi to Ivy, But will it be enough?
Speaker 2 (24:06):
She whispered back.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
When the judge was done counting up their meteorites, he
wrote down the number and turned to his fellow judges.
Levi and Ivy couldn't tell by the look on their
faces whether they had won or lost. They were nervous
and didn't know what they would do if they didn't win.
How would they face Professor Quasar. They didn't want to
let him down. At that moment, they saw that Professor
had ventured out of the space shuttle to hear the
(24:29):
final ruling. He walked toward them with his thumbs up
and a smile on his face. Gather around everyone called
out one of the Morgan judges. It looks like we
have a winner, called out one of the other s,
Morgans starting to cheer for his team. No, not exactly,
said the judge.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
It looks like we have a tie.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
The Earth Lanes and Zara also collected one thousand and
nine meteorites. Well, what are we gonna do now, asked
the professor Quasar. They only said they would leave space
Station Nebula if they lost. We never decided what we
would do in case of a tie. Levi and Ivy
couldn't believe their ears. They were frustrated and upset and
all the commotion, Ivy kicked the bag she had been
(25:09):
collecting her meteorites in, and that's when she noticed something,
something really hard in her bag. Ow cried out Ivy,
what's wrong, called Zara my bag. I kicked it and
something inside it really hurt my foot, answered Ivy as
she floated around.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
We didn't win, and now I hurt my foot. What
a day.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
That's when Zara put backs together and knew exactly what
was an Ivy's meteorite bag. She ran over to the bag,
picked it up, and reached inside, and there it was
exactly what she thought she'd find.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
One more meteorite, one.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
And ten oney ten, called Alzara.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
We didn't tie. We won, we caught one and ten meteorites. Look.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
The sch Morgan judge was shocked when he turned around
and saw Zara holding up one last baseball sized meteorite. Wow,
she's right, said the judge, the winner of the meteorite
mix up is Zara and the Earth leans. The Morgans
could not believe what they were hearing, but after the
initial shock wore off, they congratulated the Wieners. The Morgans,
after all, loved games so much that they had all
(26:14):
learned how to be good winners and good losers. Congratulations, Zara,
you and your friends beat us fair and square, said
the Morgans.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
The space station is all yours.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Then, as quickly as they had taken over the space
station Nebula, this Morgans were off, ready to find a
new place to play. Professor Quasar floated over and congratulated
Zara Levine IVY.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Thank you all so much.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
I knew you could do it. I never had a doubt,
said the Professor. I wish we had more time to celebrate,
but we're running out of time and we need to
get to the space station camera back up and running
before we head home. Zara Levine Ivy all jumped into action,
following the Professor's lead and doing whatever he asked of them.
After about an hour or so of working in the
midst of a meteorite storm, the camera on the space
(26:56):
station was fully up and working again. Then, once back
in space station shuttle start Us, Professor Quasar was able
to thank Zara again for all her help and say
goodbye until next time, my friend, said the professor. I'm
looking forward to it, replied Zara. It's always so much
fun when you stop by for a visit. Maybe next
time you can bring Levi and Ivy again. We love that,
(27:19):
shouted Levi and Ivy together. I'd love that too, said
Professor Quasar, and with that they all said a final goodbye,
and off they flew back to Earth, with Tzara waving
goodbye from planet Glimmero on a space shuttle start Us
landed gracefully back in the large garage at the Science Museum,
Professor Quasar once again thanked Levi and Ivy for their
bravery and hard work. Once out of the space shuttle
(27:39):
and back into the lab, they watched as the professor
turned the space station camera back on once again, they
were able to see all the wonders of the universe.
It looks like we made it back just in time,
said the professor, as Levi and Ivy's parents walked through
the door of his lab, led by a security guard.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
From the museum. So how was your day, asked Levi
and Ivy's dad. Did you what's fun in the lab?
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Doing lots of fun science and space stuff, asked their mom.
Levi and Ivy giggled as they looked at each other
and back at Professor Quasar.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Yep, lots of fun in the lab.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Said Ivy. Just a regular old day at the museum,
added Levi. They are welcome back here anytime, said Professor Quasar.
I can't wait to see what amazing scientists they'll become
one day. That's so nice of you to say, said
Levin Ivy's dad as he caught sight of the screens
displaying the camera's view from space station Nebula. Wow, that
(28:32):
look into the galaxy is breathtaking. Can you imagine what
it would be like to be up there? Asked Levin
and Ivy's mom, taking a closer look at the screen. Yep,
I think I could, whispered Levi to Ivy as she
gave her brother a wink and a smile. Thanks for
