WEBVTT

1
00:00:11.080 --> 00:00:16.239
<v Speaker 1>Caroline and Abigail enjoyed making things. They would paint and draw,

2
00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:21.039
<v Speaker 1>stitch and stick, and mold and sculpt. If outside, they

3
00:00:21.039 --> 00:00:25.920
<v Speaker 1>would collect leaves, feathers and interesting stones, and on rainy days,

4
00:00:26.079 --> 00:00:30.960
<v Speaker 1>cut up old magazines, catalogs and food packaging. Wherever they

5
00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:35.240
<v Speaker 1>were and whatever they did, Caroline and Abigail were never

6
00:00:35.399 --> 00:00:40.079
<v Speaker 1>far from having creative thoughts or doing creative things, which

7
00:00:40.119 --> 00:00:44.119
<v Speaker 1>was why on this day they were collecting shells. They

8
00:00:44.159 --> 00:00:47.600
<v Speaker 1>were at the beach and had already constructed a magnificent

9
00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:52.079
<v Speaker 1>fairytale castle out of sand, complete with a water filled moat.

10
00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:56.280
<v Speaker 1>Now needing shells to decorate the castle's walls and roofs,

11
00:00:56.880 --> 00:01:00.320
<v Speaker 1>they'd walked along the shoreline in search of some. Here's

12
00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:03.640
<v Speaker 1>a good one, said Caroline, holding up a curly shell.

13
00:01:04.040 --> 00:01:06.400
<v Speaker 1>It was shiny with a hint of pink and cream.

14
00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:10.200
<v Speaker 1>This would look amazing on top of the tower. Yeah,

15
00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:14.319
<v Speaker 1>agreed Abigail. And how about this one. It's enormous. We

16
00:01:14.359 --> 00:01:17.680
<v Speaker 1>could use this one as a drawbridge. They'd already made

17
00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:20.319
<v Speaker 1>quite a collection and their hands.

18
00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:20.799
<v Speaker 2>Were quite full.

19
00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:25.000
<v Speaker 1>Let's take these to the castle, suggested Caroline. Then we

20
00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:26.359
<v Speaker 1>can run back here for more.

21
00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:30.400
<v Speaker 2>But they'd not gone two steps when they spotted an

22
00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:33.200
<v Speaker 2>unusual couple stood upon the sand.

23
00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:38.040
<v Speaker 1>Not just unusual, very unusual, because they were.

24
00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:43.480
<v Speaker 2>Clearly not human. Are those aliens?

25
00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:48.280
<v Speaker 1>Asked Caroline, dropping her shells with surprise. The two figures

26
00:01:48.319 --> 00:01:52.680
<v Speaker 1>had orange skin with a scattering of purple spots, thin bodies,

27
00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:57.920
<v Speaker 1>large heads, and oddest of all, just one circular eye each.

28
00:01:58.439 --> 00:02:01.079
<v Speaker 1>They were looking down at the sand between their three

29
00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:01.840
<v Speaker 1>toed feet.

30
00:02:02.359 --> 00:02:04.359
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what else they could.

31
00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:08.680
<v Speaker 1>Be, admitted Abigail, putting her shells down more carefully. The

32
00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:11.360
<v Speaker 1>aliens looked up and appeared to notice the girls for

33
00:02:11.400 --> 00:02:16.080
<v Speaker 1>the first time. Look scoop of things, said one of

34
00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:17.400
<v Speaker 1>the aliens, excitedly.

35
00:02:18.280 --> 00:02:24.400
<v Speaker 2>Oh, how fortunate, Yobel. Perhaps they are queens of this planet,

36
00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:28.479
<v Speaker 2>said Swoop. Salvation's your royal highnesses.

37
00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:31.520
<v Speaker 1>This was said with a wave to Abigail and Caroline.

38
00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:36.759
<v Speaker 1>Oh we're not royalty, replied Abigail. Oh what a beautiful

39
00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:42.159
<v Speaker 1>planet you have, said Yobel. Oh we like it very much. Ah,

40
00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:44.199
<v Speaker 1>thank you, said Caroline.

41
00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:50.360
<v Speaker 2>It would do very nicely, said Swoop. For what, asked Abigail.

42
00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:54.319
<v Speaker 1>For our wedding, of course, laughed yobl We are very

43
00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:55.759
<v Speaker 1>much loving each other.

44
00:02:56.599 --> 00:03:02.520
<v Speaker 2>Oh, yes, agreed Shwoop. Loving your planet would be the

45
00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:06.159
<v Speaker 2>perfect place for our wedding to take place. We particularly

46
00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:08.599
<v Speaker 2>like this glittery stuff that you walk on.

47
00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:13.319
<v Speaker 1>The sand, asked Caroline. Yeah, we'd like it too. We'd

48
00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:14.800
<v Speaker 1>like to make castles from it.

49
00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:18.639
<v Speaker 2>Oh did you hear that, Shoop, The queens construct their

50
00:03:18.639 --> 00:03:21.800
<v Speaker 2>palaces from glitter. Oh, we truly are lucky to have

51
00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:27.120
<v Speaker 2>found them, marveled Yobel. Indeed, Yobyl, we have chosen well,

52
00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:30.360
<v Speaker 2>added Swoop. We would like one of your castles for

53
00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:33.039
<v Speaker 2>our marriage. Please will you make one for us?

54
00:03:33.719 --> 00:03:37.319
<v Speaker 1>Well, we could show you how to make one, Abigail said,

55
00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:41.000
<v Speaker 1>because we probably won't be around when you actually get married.

56
00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:45.800
<v Speaker 2>But you're here now, said Yobel. So you are around.

57
00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:51.599
<v Speaker 1>You mean you're getting married right now, spluttered Caroline, like today.

58
00:03:52.479 --> 00:03:56.199
<v Speaker 2>Oh yes, and we would like a magnivosent castle, and

59
00:03:56.280 --> 00:03:58.080
<v Speaker 2>your royal Highness is to be there.

60
00:03:58.240 --> 00:04:03.919
<v Speaker 1>Grin Swoop, not royal highnesses, corrected Abigail. But what about

61
00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:08.439
<v Speaker 1>guests and decorations? Don't you need those? Having two queens

62
00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:11.599
<v Speaker 1>in a castle will be all we need, said Yobel.

63
00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:15.879
<v Speaker 1>Please begin construction right away. But we've already built one,

64
00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:20.519
<v Speaker 1>said Caroline. Over here. The two girls led the peculiar

65
00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:23.879
<v Speaker 1>aliens across the sand to where their sand castle stood.

66
00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:28.519
<v Speaker 1>I'm afraid it's not very big, said Abigail. Real castles

67
00:04:28.519 --> 00:04:29.920
<v Speaker 1>are much grander than this.

68
00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:36.240
<v Speaker 2>Oh it's mauveless. Gush swoop. The builders you used to

69
00:04:36.279 --> 00:04:38.079
<v Speaker 2>make it must be very skilled.

70
00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:42.560
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, we didn't use builders, giggled Caroline. We built

71
00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:47.879
<v Speaker 1>this ourselves. The two aliens looked stunned. You built all

72
00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:52.160
<v Speaker 1>of this out of the glitz stuff yourselves, gasped Yobel.

73
00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:56.079
<v Speaker 1>Little wonder that you two have been made queens. We're

74
00:04:56.120 --> 00:04:58.199
<v Speaker 1>not queens, said Abigail.

75
00:04:58.839 --> 00:05:02.759
<v Speaker 2>Oh I'm so excited, smiled Shwoop. This shall be a

76
00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:04.519
<v Speaker 2>wedding like no other.

77
00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:09.879
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I'm very impressed, nodded Yobel. Shall we start. I

78
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:13.360
<v Speaker 1>really think you should have decorations, insisted Caroline.

79
00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:16.800
<v Speaker 2>What are these decorations you are speaking of, wondered Shwoop.

80
00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:21.639
<v Speaker 2>Abigail and Caroline grinned at one another. Well, began Abigail.

81
00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:27.759
<v Speaker 1>There are usually flowers, lots of flowers, chipped in Caroline.

82
00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:32.319
<v Speaker 1>Then there's bunting and streamers and balloons and table settings,

83
00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:36.480
<v Speaker 1>added Abigail. And bows and ribbons and covers and lighting,

84
00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:38.079
<v Speaker 1>continued Caroline.

85
00:05:38.360 --> 00:05:40.319
<v Speaker 2>Good moons of mupple pop.

86
00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:44.680
<v Speaker 1>Exclaimed Yobel. That is so much. Oh that's just the

87
00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:45.519
<v Speaker 1>start of it.

88
00:05:45.639 --> 00:05:46.480
<v Speaker 2>Said Abigail.

89
00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:50.399
<v Speaker 1>Having flowers, bunting and balloons helps make a wedding look

90
00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:51.360
<v Speaker 1>extra special.

91
00:05:51.959 --> 00:05:55.120
<v Speaker 2>Oh, Yobel, shouldn't our wedding be extra special? Should we

92
00:05:55.199 --> 00:05:58.480
<v Speaker 2>have floors and bunnies and spoons? Said Shroop.

93
00:05:58.920 --> 00:06:02.720
<v Speaker 1>That's flowers, bunting and balloons, corrected Caroline.

94
00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:06.319
<v Speaker 2>It is enough custom to have these decorations at a wedding,

95
00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:09.560
<v Speaker 2>said Yobel. It's a shame that there are no such

96
00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:10.639
<v Speaker 2>items in sight.

97
00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:14.680
<v Speaker 1>That's true, said Abigail. You don't find those sort of

98
00:06:14.680 --> 00:06:19.040
<v Speaker 1>things just lying around. Oh that is a disappointment, said

99
00:06:19.040 --> 00:06:22.680
<v Speaker 1>Swoop sadly. But there are other things that are lying

100
00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:28.439
<v Speaker 1>around and we could use, suggested Caroline, really brightened Shwoop,

101
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:30.720
<v Speaker 1>his singular eye opening wide.

102
00:06:31.319 --> 00:06:33.839
<v Speaker 2>No wonder, the people of this planet put you both

103
00:06:33.879 --> 00:06:34.480
<v Speaker 2>in charge.

104
00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:38.480
<v Speaker 1>We're not in charge, said Abigail. Wait here, buy the

105
00:06:38.519 --> 00:06:43.920
<v Speaker 1>sand castle, said Caroline, snatching Abigail's hand. We'll be right back. First,

106
00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:46.920
<v Speaker 1>they returned to their drop shells. They use these to

107
00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:49.720
<v Speaker 1>make a circular pattern in the sand with the two

108
00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:53.319
<v Speaker 1>aliens at the center, although it did mean an extra

109
00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:58.000
<v Speaker 1>trip to look for more impressive, said Yobel. Next, the

110
00:06:58.040 --> 00:07:01.360
<v Speaker 1>two girls search for seaweed. It was the closest thing

111
00:07:01.399 --> 00:07:04.160
<v Speaker 1>to flowers they could think of, so they gathered up

112
00:07:04.199 --> 00:07:06.360
<v Speaker 1>as much as they could and laid it out in

113
00:07:06.439 --> 00:07:13.199
<v Speaker 1>the sand like fancy bouquets. Oh, very good, said Shwoop approvingly. Finally,

114
00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:17.199
<v Speaker 1>the girls went searching for driftwood. There wasn't much, but

115
00:07:17.839 --> 00:07:20.759
<v Speaker 1>what they found had been worn smooth by the sea

116
00:07:20.920 --> 00:07:23.800
<v Speaker 1>and bleached white by the sun. They pushed the wood

117
00:07:23.879 --> 00:07:26.879
<v Speaker 1>into the sand to create a wider circle that went

118
00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:32.560
<v Speaker 1>around the shell circle and the sand castle. Outstanding, proclaimed

119
00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:35.560
<v Speaker 1>yobl How are you able to make such things? Oh,

120
00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:40.399
<v Speaker 1>we're always making things, said Caroline. We love crafts, the

121
00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:45.360
<v Speaker 1>queen of crafts, said Shwoop. Now let us start, Yes,

122
00:07:45.720 --> 00:07:48.759
<v Speaker 1>agreed Yobel. It is time for us to get married.

123
00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:52.839
<v Speaker 1>How does this work, added Abigail. Don't you need someone

124
00:07:52.839 --> 00:07:54.120
<v Speaker 1>to conduct the ceremony?

125
00:07:55.120 --> 00:08:02.040
<v Speaker 2>Ceremony, repeated Shwoop. That sounds complicated. Indeed it does, agreed Yobel.

126
00:08:02.920 --> 00:08:05.639
<v Speaker 1>But we pick a lot of porians. Don't need extra

127
00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:09.120
<v Speaker 1>Pickolotta Porians to be involved. We just need each other.

128
00:08:09.839 --> 00:08:11.959
<v Speaker 1>That's different, said Caroline.

129
00:08:12.600 --> 00:08:15.639
<v Speaker 2>Let us show you, smiled Swoop and turned to face

130
00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:18.879
<v Speaker 2>Yobel in the circle of shells. The two aliens held

131
00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:24.240
<v Speaker 2>hands entwining their long fingers together. Shwoop, Will you be

132
00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:29.879
<v Speaker 2>mine forever, asked Yobel. Until the end of time, answered Swoop.

133
00:08:30.199 --> 00:08:33.519
<v Speaker 2>And Yobel, will you be mine forever until the last

134
00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:35.559
<v Speaker 2>star in the universe fades away?

135
00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:40.480
<v Speaker 1>Responded yobl There said Shwoop, turning to the two girls.

136
00:08:40.919 --> 00:08:45.720
<v Speaker 2>It's done. Yobel and I are married, big, loving, and

137
00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:48.799
<v Speaker 2>thanks to your royal highnesses, we've had the most memorable

138
00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:51.279
<v Speaker 2>wedding of any pick a Lotta Porian couple in the

139
00:08:51.399 --> 00:08:52.720
<v Speaker 2>history of the galaxy.

140
00:08:53.080 --> 00:08:57.639
<v Speaker 1>Smiled Yoble. Oh it's been our pleasure, said Abigail. Yes,

141
00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:01.360
<v Speaker 1>agreed Caroline. It's been so all much fun to help.

142
00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:04.279
<v Speaker 1>And there's a token of our thanks. Please accept this

143
00:09:04.440 --> 00:09:08.399
<v Speaker 1>small shiny green rock, said Yabel, placing what looked like

144
00:09:08.440 --> 00:09:13.000
<v Speaker 1>an emerald in Caroline's palm. These cover the surface of Piccolotta,

145
00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:15.960
<v Speaker 1>our home planet, so we often give them away as gifts.

146
00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:19.279
<v Speaker 1>It's not worth much, but it looks pretty. Thank you

147
00:09:19.440 --> 00:09:22.720
<v Speaker 1>both yelled out shwoop as in a shimmer of light,

148
00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:27.039
<v Speaker 1>the two aliens transported away, presumably back to their ship.

149
00:09:27.960 --> 00:09:31.759
<v Speaker 1>That was unexpected, said Abigail, staring out at the now

150
00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:37.080
<v Speaker 1>empty seashell circle. Here you're telling me, said Caroline. Emeralds

151
00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:40.159
<v Speaker 1>may not be worth much to them, but on earth

152
00:09:40.399 --> 00:09:43.960
<v Speaker 1>these are worth a fortune. Well what do we do now,

153
00:09:44.320 --> 00:09:47.480
<v Speaker 1>asked Abigail. Do you still want to finish the sand castle?

154
00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:52.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure, replied Caroline. We've been so creative today already.

155
00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:56.879
<v Speaker 1>Organizing an alien wedding was hard work, yes, but what fun,

156
00:09:57.279 --> 00:10:00.279
<v Speaker 1>said Abigail. We'll remember today for the rest most of

157
00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:05.360
<v Speaker 1>our lives. Excuse me, said a voice from nearer the shoreline.

158
00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:08.480
<v Speaker 1>Turning that way, they were met with the sight of

159
00:10:08.519 --> 00:10:12.159
<v Speaker 1>a small red alien with ten tentacles, one of which

160
00:10:12.240 --> 00:10:15.399
<v Speaker 1>was looped into the enormous quad hand of a scaly

161
00:10:15.519 --> 00:10:16.759
<v Speaker 1>green alien with.

162
00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:20.600
<v Speaker 2>A wide, hairy head. Are you the queens of craft

163
00:10:21.399 --> 00:10:22.480
<v Speaker 2>more aliens?

164
00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:26.000
<v Speaker 1>Gasped Abigail. She was so surprised that she forgot to

165
00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:29.600
<v Speaker 1>tell the newcomers they weren't royalty. You're not here to

166
00:10:29.639 --> 00:10:32.279
<v Speaker 1>get married to you, are you, asked Caroline.

167
00:10:32.840 --> 00:10:33.000
<v Speaker 2>Oh?

168
00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:35.080
<v Speaker 1>Yes, said the little red alien.

169
00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:36.120
<v Speaker 2>News of your.

170
00:10:36.039 --> 00:10:38.960
<v Speaker 1>Elaborate regal wedding service has reached the far corners of

171
00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:42.840
<v Speaker 1>the galaxy. Myself and Gurgle pibble ox Knock would be

172
00:10:42.919 --> 00:10:46.279
<v Speaker 1>honored if we could have a royal wedding here. Listen,

173
00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:50.360
<v Speaker 1>we're not royal, began Abigail, as the small alien held

174
00:10:50.440 --> 00:10:53.519
<v Speaker 1>up another tentacle. It was wrapped around a large, fist

175
00:10:53.600 --> 00:10:54.440
<v Speaker 1>sized ruby.

176
00:10:55.039 --> 00:10:57.480
<v Speaker 2>We will gladly give you this token for your troubles,

177
00:10:57.600 --> 00:10:59.960
<v Speaker 2>your royal highnesses, said the alien.

178
00:11:00.799 --> 00:11:06.000
<v Speaker 1>Oh all right, then, said Abigail, grinning at Caroline. Caroline

179
00:11:06.039 --> 00:11:09.399
<v Speaker 1>grinned back. Just give us a few moments, she said.

180
00:11:09.799 --> 00:11:15.519
<v Speaker 1>We just need to freshen up the seaweed, the and
