Episode Transcript

(00:02):
The bouncy castle catcatastrophe.
It started with a Fort Alice andFreddy were building it in the
living room using all thecushions, chairs and blankets
they could find.
This is the best one yet.
Freddy declared as he crawledinside Alice followed, dragging
a pile of storybooks and a softblanket.

(00:22):
We should stay in here forever.
They settled inside, munching onfruit and reading stories when
Alice spotted something very oddat the back of the fort.
Is that a curtain she asked?
Tucked behind the couchcushions.
Barely visible.
Was a rainbow colored curtainwith a soft glow.
It definitely wasn't herebefore.

(00:44):
Freddie whispered.
They exchanged a look, the kindthat said, we should see what
that is.
Alice reached out and pulled itaside.
Whoosh, the two tumbled forward,somersaulting through the
curtain and landing with a soft.
They blinked, then blinkedagain.

(01:04):
They weren't in the living roomanymore.
They were in a giant bouncycastle.
The floor bounced under theirfeet.
The walls wobbled and even theceiling jiggled a bit.
Okay, Sid Freddy trying to standup and immediately flopping
over.
This is amazing, but it got evenweirder than that.

(01:24):
The bouncing castle was full ofcats and kittens, loads of them,
fluffy ones, stripy ones, sleepyones, bouncing ones everywhere.
One really cute cat did a flipand landed right into Alice's
arms.
This is the best day of my life,she said.
But then the cat started to flyaround.

(01:46):
One floated gently past Freddy'snose like a furry balloon,
another zoomed in circles, pausespread wide like wings.
Freddy caught one in midair, andit purred like a tiny motorboat.
Okay, Sid Freddy.
How are they doing that?
That's when they heard theflutter of small wings outside
one of the bouncy castlewindows.

(02:08):
Moonlight very fern zipped inwobbling slightly on a flying
scooter.
She had a wand sticking out ofher hair, like she'd forgotten
it was there.
This has all gone wrong.
The fairy cried.
Alice and Freddy stared.
This, this castle used to be myhouse.
She said, looking distraught,you live in a bouncy castle.

(02:28):
Asked Freddy, impressed.
No moonlight, groan.
I was trying a new spell toclean my windows and
accidentally turned my wholehouse into a bouncy castle and
it sucked up all the cats in thevillage too, and sent them here.
Why are they flying?
Asked Alice, who was starting tolift off the ground herself, I
don't know, said moon fly.

(02:49):
They were all just bouncing atfirst, and now they're up, up,
up in the air.
If I don't fix it soon, they'llstart orbiting the moon.
Freddie bounced closer so youcan reverse the spell.
You can fix this.
Moon fly.
Winced.
I lost the spell card.
I think a kitten might've sat onit or eaten it alice and Freddy

(03:09):
looked around.
There were a lot of kittens.
We'll help you, Alice said.
Freddy nodded.
We're great at finding loststuff We once found a sandwich
under the couch from three yearsago.
We didn't eat it.
The search began.
They bounced from corner tocorner.
Well, more like B winged.

(03:29):
They found a kitten wearing tinyglasses, one curled up in a
cereal bowl, and another who hadfigured out how to operate the
popcorn machine.
There was popcorn everywhere,but no spell card.
Try looking from above calledmoon fly.
As she zoomed in loops overhead,Freddie and Alice climbed up one
of the bouncy castle walls.

(03:49):
Found it.
Alice shouted, grabbing acrumpled glitter dusted card
from beneath a snoozing furrykitten.
Moonlight zoomed over, flippedthe card upside down.
Then right side up.
Yes.
This is it.
She flicked her wand, musher afew words, then warned all the
kittens.
Alice scooped one up.
Freddy grabbed two.

(04:10):
The rest Harvard patiently.
Poof.
The bouncy castle floor turnedinto soft moss.
The walls of the bouncy castleturned back into moonlight's
toto house.
The flying kittens floatedgently down and immediately
began grooming themselves as ifnothing odd had happened.
Moonlight's house was back smalland tidy with fines curling up

(04:31):
the side and a green door justslightly open.
You did it.
Alice clapped nose ed moon fly.
We did it.
Moonlight, began delivering allthe cats and kittens back to
their homes on her scooter.
It took a lot of trips back andforth.
Freddie and Alice grinned.
It was a very funny thing to seewhen they were all safely home.

(04:51):
It was time for Alice and Freddyto go home too.
They walked around together,searching for a few minutes
before they reached the rainbowcurtain.
Moonlight, handed them each atiny badge made from an acorn
for bravery, she said.
And for being a good friendAlice and Freddy went back
through the curtain arrivingback inside their fort,
everything looked just as ithad, except for the kitten fluff

(05:14):
on Alice's sleeve, their newbadges and the faint smell of
popcorn.
Alice peaked at the back of thefort.
The rainbow curtain was gone.
Did that really happen?
Freddie asked.
Alice shrugged, I think so.
They collapsed happily ontotheir pillows, laughing about
the fun they had just had ontheir furry adventure.
The end.
