0:22
live on the video, I'd love
0:24
to hang out with you guys over there.
0:26
Well, are you ready for Miles Part
0:28
two of his adventure of
0:31
going to space?
0:32
Is he gonna make it? Let's find out.
0:34
Let's go.
0:42
That next morning, Miles shot
0:44
up out of bed. He had to get
0:46
to work to finish his rocket ship. Oh
0:49
this is gonna be so awesome. I hope this works,
0:52
said Miles as he started adding some buttons
0:54
and some screens inside of his spaceship.
0:57
That would help him, you know, direct, and
0:59
know where he was going and
1:02
how to make it go faster and slow down.
1:04
He was just missing a couple more things,
1:07
a flashlight and a
1:09
compass. Those would help a lot.
1:12
As he added the compass to his dashboard and
1:14
tied down the flashlight to the front of his space
1:16
ship, it was ready. Holy
1:19
smokes, Miles, swam
1:21
back and couldn't believe it.
1:24
It was beautiful, one
1:27
of the greatest creations that he had ever
1:29
done before. As he swam
1:31
it downstairs to go outside,
1:33
his parents saw him swimming by. Miles,
1:36
what do you have there, Oh, just
1:39
a rocket ship that I'm going to space in. His
1:41
parents both laughed and smiled
1:43
at each other and loved that Miles
1:45
was very inventive and shouted,
1:48
Well, just make sure that you bring some snacks with shouted
1:51
his mom. Okay, now I need
1:53
some kind of launchpad. Miles
1:55
thought to himself, Uh,
1:57
there's a flat kind of rocky spot. Well,
2:00
just clean it up a little bit, said Miles.
2:03
Perfect. You see, every rocket ship
2:06
needs a launch pad. Do you know what
2:08
that is? Yeah, every rocket ship
2:10
it rests somewhere and then
2:12
before it blasts off, you have to make sure that it's
2:14
you know, not sitting on like grass
2:17
or paper, because.
2:19
It will just burn it all down.
2:21
So it's best to have, you know, rocks
2:24
around the rocket ship before it blasts off the space.
2:26
It didn't take long before Miles had a beautiful
2:29
launch pad for his rocket ship. Miles
2:32
was putting goggles on when his mom
2:34
came swimming out holding a bag of snacks
2:36
for him. Here you go, honey, just
2:39
stay safe. Okay, you see, I still
2:41
think at this point his parents thought
2:43
this was all just pretend. But Miles
2:46
has actually built a real
2:48
rocket ship that can blast from underwater.
2:52
I'm sure you're wondering, like, how in the world
2:54
does that work, because like fire can't
2:56
blast off from underwater. I
3:00
am struggling with understanding
3:02
it, just like you. But it has
3:04
something to do with lava and
3:07
bubbles, that's all I know.
3:09
As he wiggled his way into the spaceship,
3:12
he was ready. He had his goggles,
3:15
his flashlight was on. He put
3:17
his snacks in a compartment so that they wouldn't,
3:19
you know, fly all over the spaceship as
3:21
he was blasting off.
3:23
Okay, I've gotta do this.
3:25
I gotta see if this is real and tell
3:27
mister Barnacle if his story
3:29
and memories are true or not.
3:32
Well, here we go.
3:34
There was a blinking ignition switch
3:36
in front of him that when he pushed that, the
3:38
spaceship would be blasting
3:42
all right, Here we go three
3:45
two one. As
3:47
he pushed the ignition switch, his
3:49
parents happened to be looking out the window
3:52
from inside their house at that very moment,
3:55
and they watched.
3:55
Him blast through the
3:58
water straight.
4:00
Up, faster than they had ever seen
4:02
before Miles.
4:05
They both shouted. They looked
4:07
at each other in disbelief. These
4:09
two fish had never seen a
4:12
rocket blast off from underwater,
4:15
let alone. It was this their sun
4:17
that was the one that made it wooooooooo.
4:21
As Miles was blasting
4:23
through the water, he couldn't believe
4:25
that his homemade rocket ship actually
4:28
worked. Out the window, he could
4:30
see that he was approaching the surface
4:32
of the water, which he had never
4:34
been up there before. Three
4:37
two one pshhh,
4:40
and it kept going. The rocket
4:42
ship blasted through a wave in
4:44
the water and was now zooming. For
4:47
what are those white puffy things
4:50
up there, said Miles, up
4:52
in the distance where he was headed towards
4:54
space, where these white
4:56
things floating in the sky. He
4:59
had never seen those before.
5:02
He was worried that his rocket ship might
5:04
bounce off of those white fluffy
5:06
things, but he was pleasantly surprised
5:09
when it blazed right through them.
5:12
WHOA, that is so cool. It's
5:14
like they're invisible or something.
5:17
Wow, it's magical up here.
5:20
As he was zooming through the air and
5:22
now past the clouds, he
5:24
entered into space and his
5:27
rocket ship slowed down to
5:29
a nice cruising speed. Inside
5:37
his rocket ship, the water had now been
5:39
splashing all around inside
5:42
from all the crazy blasting off,
5:44
and it was finally settling down
5:47
and the bubbles were settling all
5:49
right, What did mister Barnacle
5:51
say? There was like some lights, right,
5:54
yeah, green lights. Miles
5:56
started to look around for the
5:59
green light of an alien spaceship.
6:02
I don't see anything yet, but that
6:04
doesn't mean they're not out there. I gotta just explore
6:07
a little more. As he started
6:09
to drive his rocket ship around space,
6:12
he was just mesmerized and amazed
6:15
by all the cool lights up
6:18
here. Wow, those
6:20
stars are so bright, so
6:23
much brighter than from when we see
6:25
them in the ocean. But wait a
6:27
second, those look like green stars are
6:31
Those are the green lights. Miles
6:33
immediately turned his rocket ship
6:36
over towards the green lights and started
6:38
cruising towards them.
6:40
This is insane.
6:41
I can't believe it's real. Mister
6:44
Barnacle was right this whole time.
6:47
Now we gotta check and see if those cupcakes
6:49
are real. As miles
6:51
ship approached those green lights.
6:54
When he got closer, he could see
6:56
a giant ship some
6:59
kind of alien and on
7:01
the corners of it, that's where those green
7:03
lights were. That's that's what he could
7:05
see from far away. But now that he's closer
7:08
he can see that it's a truly amazing
7:11
ship. There appeared to be some kind
7:13
of like garage or you
7:16
know, a place for space ships to come and
7:18
enter this really big one.
7:21
So he pulled into the open spot
7:23
and started putting on his spacesuit.
7:26
He had made his spacesuit just
7:28
for him, you know, like our spacesuits
7:31
they need to breathe air, but he needs
7:33
to breathe water. So it was more like
7:35
a big bowl of water for
7:38
him to keep his head in and
7:40
then he could move around the
7:42
rest of his body. As he
7:45
stepped out of his spaceship and started
7:47
swimming through space, it
7:49
was a very weird sensation. This
7:52
is so cool. It's like I'm
7:54
swimming in water, but there's
7:56
nothing. This is very strange.
7:59
He swam towards a door that opened
8:01
upon his movement. You know those doors
8:04
that you get close enough to and then they automatically
8:06
opened because they like sense that
8:08
you're there. That's what this door
8:11
was. And as it opened up, he
8:13
was greeted by a whole bunch of very
8:16
very green aliens.
8:19
Miles eyes couldn't believe
8:21
what he was seeing. As he looked around,
8:23
he saw dozens of these very
8:26
small green aliens.
8:33
That's the only way that they talked. As
8:36
Miles leaned down to say hello,
8:39
hello, little aliens, my name
8:41
is Miles. What's your name, they
8:45
didn't say any words. They only
8:48
said beeps, and Miles did not
8:50
know that language. But it
8:53
wasn't long before the aliens brought
8:55
out a very very special
8:57
surprise. Miles could tell
8:59
that these aliens were motioning for him to
9:01
come in this other room,
9:04
and he started swimming with them towards that
9:06
back room. And as they entered,
9:08
he couldn't believe it. There was a giant
9:11
table full of cupcakes,
9:13
the most delicious looking cupcakes ever.
9:16
It's like they had put together a big surprise
9:19
for him. How in the world do they know
9:21
he was coming? That's pretty crazy.
9:26
Well, whatever was going on, these aliens
9:28
were very happy to have Miles
9:31
as their guest. I can't believe
9:33
that mister Barnacle was telling the truth the whole
9:35
time, and he didn't even remember if it was true or
9:37
not. But he's gonna be so happy
9:39
when I return. The
9:42
rest of the day, Miles spent
9:44
with the aliens, starting to learn
9:46
their beeping language of you
9:48
know, bybe bee that means hi
9:51
and that means
9:53
please pass another cupcake please. But
9:56
pretty soon it was the end of the day. It
9:58
was time for Miles to return back home
10:00
to the ocean with his family, and
10:02
as he waved goodbye and left
10:05
with a parting gift of a dozen cupcakes,
10:08
he couldn't wait to return back home
10:10
and tell his parents and his teacher
10:12
about this amazing adventure.
10:15
The end.
10:23
