Blobby is going on vacation! When you miss your airport shuttle, your shapeshifting best friend comes to the rescue, but keeping him out of trouble on the airplane is another story! And when you arrive in California to visit your cousin Taavi, you discover an incredible surprise that leads to surfing, giant sharks, and twice the shapeshifting chaos!

I originally created these stories for my own children on nights when they couldn’t fall asleep. What started as a simple bedtime ritual has grown into a world of imagination designed to help families wind down together at the end of the day. Play an episode for your kids and encourage them to imagine they are the hero of the story — exploring distant planets, training dragons, discovering magic, or traveling through space — all while lying safely in bed with their eyes closed. Each 15–30 minute adventure is filled with science fiction and fantasy themes kids love: spaceships, dinosaurs, dragons, wizards, and whatever wild idea we dream up next. The stories are exciting, creative, and always safe for young listeners. When the adventure ends, the episode gently transitions into calming music to reduce distractions and help your child drift off to sleep — giving you a quiet moment to step out of the room and enjoy some well-earned alone time. Imagination first. Sleep second. Peace and quiet third. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/dad-s-bedtime-stories--6907147/support.

## Transcript

[0:04] Speaker 1: Hello, friends from across the nation and around the world.
[0:08] Speaker 1: I'm Martin, and you are listening to Dad's Bedtime Stories,
[0:14] Speaker 1: the podcast that takes listener ideas and turns them into
[0:18] Speaker 1: bedtime stories. And today, I felt like it was time
[0:23] Speaker 1: to do another Blobby the Shapeshifting Blob episode, and strangely enough,
[0:30] Speaker 1: I just received a new idea for it. Let's check
[0:34] Speaker 1: it out. Hello.
[0:37] Speaker 2: I really want to do another blobby story about you
[0:41] Speaker 2: taking him through airport security to get to California to
[0:46] Speaker 2: visit your cousin. But turns out your cousin has another
[0:50] Speaker 2: blobby who's blobby's cousin. And then they hang out together
[0:57] Speaker 2: for the rest of the trip.
[0:58] Speaker 3: Then when they go home, you accidentally switch blobby's. Then
[1:05] Speaker 3: you have to wait until next time to go to
[1:09] Speaker 3: the trip, so then you can get your blobby back.
[1:18] Speaker 1: Well, thank you to Tavi, who suggested that episode. And
[1:24] Speaker 1: as a result, well, I don't know if you guys
[1:27] Speaker 1: knew this, but in the blobby universe, you now have
[1:29] Speaker 1: a cousin named Tavi. So, uh, because I decided to
[1:34] Speaker 1: name the cousin Tavi. I do want to give a
[1:38] Speaker 1: shout-out to Allie, who also came up with a bunch
[1:40] Speaker 1: of Blobby episode ideas, including one where Blobby goes on vacation,
[1:45] Speaker 1: which I feel like is really similar to this and
[1:48] Speaker 1: part of the reason I chose it.
[1:49] Speaker 3: Uh, yeah.
[1:51] Speaker 1: So, anyways, I hope you guys like the episode. Before
[1:55] Speaker 1: we get started, I just want to remind you, there
[1:58] Speaker 1: are a lot of ways to support the podcast. Just
[2:02] Speaker 1: listening to it matters a lot. Rating and reviewing it
[2:05] Speaker 1: makes a really big difference for other people finding it.
[2:08] Speaker 1: So if you take a second to do that, if
[2:09] Speaker 1: you haven't done it before, that would mean a lot, parents.
[2:14] Speaker 1: And other than that, if you do want ad-free episodes
[2:18] Speaker 1: and bonus content, which right now includes some graphic novels,
[2:25] Speaker 1: as well as a link to the Wizardcraft video game
[2:29] Speaker 1: that I created, Kind of an old school video game.
[2:33] Speaker 1: You can join us on Patreon for as little as
[2:36] Speaker 1: $ 1 a month. Or you can pay up front for
[2:39] Speaker 1: the year. And I think you even get a discount.
[2:41] Speaker 1: So less than $ 12 for the entire year. You can
[2:46] Speaker 1: of course support with more if you want to. But
[2:49] Speaker 1: that's the minimum. Speaking of Patreon. I want to give
[2:53] Speaker 1: a big shout out and a thank you to Brielle.
[2:57] Speaker 1: Who I actually did a story for recently. And She
[3:01] Speaker 1: became my... Well, one of my latest Patreon sponsors, so
[3:07] Speaker 1: thank you, Brielle. But now, it's time to get on
[3:12] Speaker 1: with the story. After a possible word from a possible sponsor,
[3:16] Speaker 1: of course. Get as comfy as you can in those beds,
[3:22] Speaker 1: or wherever it is you're listening. Close your eyes, and
[3:26] Speaker 1: imagine yourself doing what the kid in the story... does.
[3:34] Speaker 1: You wake up to a strange purring sound coming from
[3:39] Speaker 1: beside your pillow. You open one eye and curled up
[3:44] Speaker 1: beside you is an incredibly fluffy, long-haired blue cat. Its
[3:52] Speaker 1: tail is wrapped around its body and its little nose
[3:56] Speaker 1: is tucked underneath one paw. Of course, it's Not actually
[4:01] Speaker 1: a cat, it's Blobby, your shape-shifting blob. You reach over
[4:08] Speaker 1: and scratch him behind the ears. Good morning, Blobby, you say.
[4:13] Speaker 1: The little cat stretches, yawns, and opens its eyes. Blobby,
[4:21] Speaker 1: he says. Then he closes his eyes again. Come on, buddy,
[4:27] Speaker 1: time to get up. You climb out of bed. Get
[4:31] Speaker 1: dressed and make your way downstairs. Blobby follows, still in
[4:36] Speaker 1: cat form, occasionally rubbing against your leg. When you reach
[4:41] Speaker 1: the kitchen, you notice something sitting on the table. Beside
[4:46] Speaker 1: it is a note. You pick it up and read it.
[4:50] Speaker 3: Good morning.
[4:52] Speaker 1: Don't forget that today is the day, the day you
[4:56] Speaker 1: fly to California to visit your cousin Tavi. Your bag
[5:01] Speaker 1: is packed and your plane ticket's on the table. Make
[5:05] Speaker 1: sure you're ready for the airport shuttle. We booked it
[5:08] Speaker 1: for 8 o'clock. If you miss it, you're in big trouble.
[5:13] Speaker 1: Have a wonderful vacation. Love you. You lower the note. Oh, right. Vacation.
[5:22] Speaker 1: You're going to California.
[5:24] Speaker 4: Yeah.
[5:26] Speaker 1: Your parents had already left for their own vacation, which
[5:30] Speaker 1: is why they arranged for you to spend the weekend
[5:32] Speaker 1: with your cousin. You quickly begin eating your breakfast. Then
[5:38] Speaker 1: you glance at the clock.
[5:41] Speaker 3: 8.01.
[5:42] Speaker 1: Oh no! You stop chewing. You run over to the window.
[5:48] Speaker 1: And outside you see a shuttle van pulling away from
[5:51] Speaker 1: your driveway. Wait! You yell. You drop your breakfast, grab
[5:58] Speaker 1: your bag, and race to the front door. Blobby comes
[6:02] Speaker 1: running behind you. You throw open the door just in
[6:06] Speaker 1: time to see the shuttle disappear around the corner. Oh no.
[6:15] Speaker 1: It's too late. The shuttle's gone and you... You are
[6:21] Speaker 1: going to be in big trouble. You look down at
[6:26] Speaker 1: your bag. What am I supposed to do now? Something
[6:32] Speaker 1: soft brushes against your leg. You look down and Blobby,
[6:38] Speaker 1: still in cat form, looks up at you.
[6:40] Speaker 4: Blobby?
[6:42] Speaker 1: He says. Then his body begins to change. His legs
[6:48] Speaker 1: stretch outward. His head grows longer. Gigantic wings burst from
[6:54] Speaker 1: his back. And within seconds, an enormous cat with dragon
[7:00] Speaker 1: wings is standing in the driveway. A creature unlike anything
[7:06] Speaker 1: you've ever seen, but honestly it looks really comfortable to
[7:10] Speaker 1: ride on. You stare at him. Well, I guess we
[7:16] Speaker 1: don't have much choice. Blobby lowers one wing. You climb
[7:22] Speaker 1: onto his back, holding your bag tightly. Okay, buddy, airport.
[7:29] Speaker 1: You grab a hold of a couple clumps of his
[7:32] Speaker 1: wonderfully soft blue fur, and with an enormous flap of
[7:37] Speaker 1: his wings, Blobby launches into the air. You soar high
[7:43] Speaker 1: above the houses, above the trees, over the roads until
[7:48] Speaker 1: the cars look like tiny little toys, and soon, You
[7:54] Speaker 1: rise through the clouds themselves. Cool mist brushes against your face. Well,
[8:02] Speaker 1: this is probably faster than the shuttle anyways, you say.
[8:06] Speaker 1: And Blobby lets out a delighted roar. Something between a
[8:11] Speaker 1: cat and a dragon noise. Before too long, you spot
[8:18] Speaker 1: the airport. Massive airplanes sit beside terminals. Others climb into
[8:24] Speaker 1: the sky. You point towards a little patch of trees
[8:29] Speaker 1: and grass beside the airport. Over there, buddy. That's probably
[8:34] Speaker 1: the right way to hide from others. Blobby swoops down,
[8:40] Speaker 1: carefully landing in a grassy nook where nobody can see him,
[8:45] Speaker 1: as long as they didn't see him landing in the
[8:47] Speaker 1: first place anyways. You climb off. Thanks, buddy. Now, You
[8:53] Speaker 1: better head home, okay? I don't think they allow gelatinous
[8:58] Speaker 1: blobs on airplanes. They have a thing against liquids. Blobby shrinks.
[9:04] Speaker 1: His wings disappear. Then he transforms into a little toy soldier,
[9:10] Speaker 1: complete with a little helmet. He raises one hand, salutes you,
[9:16] Speaker 1: which causes you to laugh a little bit. See you
[9:19] Speaker 1: when I get back, you say. Blobby transforms into a
[9:24] Speaker 1: little blue bird. He flaps his wings and flies away.
[9:30] Speaker 1: You watch him disappear above the trees. Then you grab
[9:36] Speaker 1: your bag and hurry out of the wooded area toward
[9:39] Speaker 1: the airport. Suddenly, something bumps against your leg. You stop. Huh?
[9:47] Speaker 1: What was that? You look around, but you can't see anything.
[9:53] Speaker 1: You check behind you and, well, still see nothing. That's weird.
[9:59] Speaker 1: You shrug your shoulders and continue walking. Inside the airport,
[10:05] Speaker 1: a very official woman, well, an official-looking woman, approaches you.
[10:10] Speaker 1: Hello there. Can I help you find something? Uh, yeah.
[10:16] Speaker 1: I'm flying to California to visit my cousin. You show
[10:20] Speaker 1: her the ticket. She smiles. Wonderful. You're right on time.
[10:26] Speaker 1: Maybe even a little bit early. Come with me. She
[10:30] Speaker 1: leads you towards the security checkpoint. There are people everywhere.
[10:36] Speaker 1: Some are carrying enormous suitcases. Others are pulling little wheeled bags.
[10:42] Speaker 1: And one person is trying to convince a toddler that
[10:45] Speaker 1: an airplane is not, in fact... something he should worry about. Eventually,
[10:53] Speaker 1: you reach the front of the line. Place your bag
[10:56] Speaker 1: on the conveyor belt, please, says the security officer. You
[11:01] Speaker 1: do exactly that. Your bag disappears into a strange machine
[11:07] Speaker 1: while you walk through the metal detector. Everything seems fine
[11:13] Speaker 1: until another security officer looks at the screen.
[11:18] Speaker 4: Ugh.
[11:19] Speaker 1: Hold on a moment. You stop. Is something wrong? We're
[11:25] Speaker 1: detecting some sort of suspicious liquid inside this bag. Your
[11:30] Speaker 1: stomach drops. The officer opens your bag. Out come your clothes,
[11:37] Speaker 1: your toothbrush, your pajamas, and then a strange little blue
[11:43] Speaker 1: squid-like stuffed animal. The officer picks it up. Uh, what's this?
[11:51] Speaker 1: You stare.
[11:53] Speaker 4: Blobby.
[11:55] Speaker 1: Of course. Oh, man. Uh, that's my stuffed animal, you say?
[12:03] Speaker 1: The officer squeezes it. It looks awfully squishy. We're not
[12:10] Speaker 1: allowed to have any liquid on the planes, you know. Uh, yeah,
[12:14] Speaker 1: that's just one of those memory foam things, you say?
[12:19] Speaker 1: Another officer walks over. Is there liquid inside it? Uh, no,
[12:26] Speaker 1: I don't think so. The first officer turns the squid around.
[12:32] Speaker 1: One of its tentacles slowly curls around his finger. He freezes.
[12:38] Speaker 1: Did it just move? You freeze too. No, it just
[12:43] Speaker 1: kind of reacts automatically like that. You know, uh, memory
[12:48] Speaker 1: foam squishies and all that. He stares at the squid.
[12:53] Speaker 1: The squid does absolutely nothing. He gives it another squeeze.
[13:00] Speaker 1: Must have imagined it. After checking the rest of your bag,
[13:04] Speaker 1: the officers seem satisfied. All right, you're good to go.
[13:10] Speaker 1: You quickly pack everything back into the bag. Not as
[13:14] Speaker 1: neatly as your parents did, of course. You just kind
[13:18] Speaker 1: of shove it in quickly. Blobby, you say. Two little
[13:23] Speaker 1: eyes reappear. Blobby, I told you to go home. Blobby
[13:32] Speaker 1: looks at you.
[13:34] Speaker 4: Blobby?
[13:34] Speaker 1: You have to listen to me. When we get to California,
[13:40] Speaker 1: you absolutely cannot let my cousin know you're a shapeshifting blob. He'll, well...
[13:47] Speaker 1: I don't know what he'd do if he found out
[13:48] Speaker 1: you were a shape-shifting blob, but I imagine it isn't nice.
[13:54] Speaker 1: Blobby nods and then transforms into a tiny blue hamster.
[13:59] Speaker 1: He squeaks. You sigh. Fine, but behave yourself and stay there.
[14:08] Speaker 1: A little while later, you find yourself sitting on the airplane.
[14:14] Speaker 1: You buckle your seat. Blobby stays perfectly still inside your
[14:19] Speaker 1: pocket for about, well, five minutes. The plane takes off,
[14:25] Speaker 1: you watch the ground disappear beneath you, and soon you're
[14:29] Speaker 1: flying through the clouds. Everything is going wonderfully until you
[14:34] Speaker 1: hear someone scream. You turn. A woman two rows ahead
[14:40] Speaker 1: is lifted both feet off the floor.' There' s a mouse!'
[14:46] Speaker 1: She yells. Another passenger looks down. I saw it too.
[14:51] Speaker 1: Suddenly people are lifting their bags, pulling their feet into
[14:55] Speaker 1: the air and looking underneath everything. A flight attendant rushes
[15:00] Speaker 1: down the aisle. What's the problem? She asks. There's a
[15:07] Speaker 1: mouse on the airplane. One of the passengers yells. You
[15:11] Speaker 1: slowly look down at your pocket. Empty. Oh, man, you whisper.
[15:19] Speaker 1: The flight attendant gets down on her hands and knees
[15:22] Speaker 1: with a flashlight. There it is! A tiny blue hamster
[15:27] Speaker 1: darts underneath a seat. Someone else screams. A man lifts
[15:32] Speaker 1: both legs so high that his knees practically touch his chin.
[15:36] Speaker 1: Blobby scurries beneath another row. Then he spots a discarded cracker.
[15:43] Speaker 1: He stops, eats it, and continues running. You slap your forehead.
[15:51] Speaker 1: The flight attendant crawls further down the aisle. Come here,
[15:55] Speaker 1: little mouse, she says. Blobby turns around, sees the flashlight,
[16:02] Speaker 1: and his eyes grow enormous. Then he suddenly becomes even smaller,
[16:09] Speaker 1: a tiny blue beetle. He crawls beneath the seat, makes
[16:14] Speaker 1: his way back toward you, and climbs up your shoe.
[16:18] Speaker 1: You quickly scoop him into your pocket. A little hamster
[16:23] Speaker 1: head pops out again. Ploppy, I told you to stay here.
[16:29] Speaker 1: Why do you never listen to me? Eventually, the flight
[16:34] Speaker 1: attendant announces that the mysterious creature seems to have disappeared, and...
[16:40] Speaker 1: To help everyone settle down, they're going to be handing
[16:44] Speaker 1: out complimentary snacks. Cookies, crackers, little bags of pretzels. You
[16:51] Speaker 1: look down at Blobby. Well, I guess something good came
[16:55] Speaker 1: out of that. Blobby gives you a tiny thumbs up
[16:58] Speaker 1: as you select your favorite kind of chips from the
[17:02] Speaker 1: flight attendant. After a few more hours, the airplane finally
[17:09] Speaker 1: lands in California. You collect your bag from the overhead
[17:14] Speaker 1: compartment and make your way through the airport. And there,
[17:19] Speaker 1: waiting for you, is your cousin Tavi. He waves excitedly. Hey, Tavi!
[17:29] Speaker 1: You run over and give him a hug. His parents
[17:32] Speaker 1: are standing beside him, smiling. Before long, you're all driving
[17:38] Speaker 1: away from the airport. You and Tavi sit together in
[17:42] Speaker 1: the back seat. So, Tavi asks, how was your flight? Well, interesting,
[17:51] Speaker 1: you say. Interesting how? Well, there was a mouse on
[17:58] Speaker 1: the plane. A mouse? Yeah, it caused a whole lot
[18:03] Speaker 1: of trouble. You feel something moving inside your bag. Oh no.
[18:10] Speaker 1: You quickly press your hand against it, but you're too late.
[18:14] Speaker 1: A little blue hamster leaps out. It lands on the
[18:18] Speaker 1: seat beside you. Ploppy, it says. You reach for him,
[18:25] Speaker 1: but before you can grab him, Tavi suddenly looks down
[18:29] Speaker 1: at his own pocket. Plopface, stay in there. He says.
[18:35] Speaker 1: You stop. Wait, what? A tiny blue mouse crawls out
[18:42] Speaker 1: of Tavi's pocket. It looks like Blobby. Blobby looks at it.
[18:50] Speaker 1: Both creatures freeze. Then, their eyes grow enormous. Blobby! Blobface!
[19:02] Speaker 1: They squeal with excitement. They jump towards one another, and
[19:07] Speaker 1: they suddenly start transforming faster than you can follow. Hamster, mouse, kitten, frog,
[19:14] Speaker 1: tiny little dinosaur with tiny little arms, little dragon. Then,
[19:20] Speaker 1: both creatures melt into their original blue blob shapes and
[19:25] Speaker 1: wrap their little blobby arms around each other. You stare
[19:30] Speaker 1: at So does Tavi. Ah, you say. Yeah, Tavi answers.
[19:40] Speaker 1: Does yours shapeshift? Yep. Mine too, you say. You look
[19:49] Speaker 1: at the two blobs. They're bouncing happily. Where did you
[19:54] Speaker 1: find yours? Tavi asks. Under my bed. I found Blobface
[20:02] Speaker 1: in a garbage can at the movie theater one night,
[20:05] Speaker 1: eating a bunch of leftover snacks. You both look down again.
[20:11] Speaker 1: DO YOU THINK THEY KNOW EACH OTHER? YOU ASK. THEY
[20:15] Speaker 1: SEEM TO. MAYBE THEY'RE BROTHERS. OR COUSINS. YOU BOTH LAUGH. WELL,
[20:24] Speaker 1: THAT WOULD MAKE SENSE. BY THE TIME YOU ARRIVE AT
[20:28] Speaker 1: TAVI'S HOUSE, THE TWO BLOBS ARE STILL BOUNCING AROUND EXCITEDLY.
[20:34] Speaker 1: LUCKILY TAVI'S PARENTS HAVEN'T NOTICED. You and Tavi hurry outside
[20:40] Speaker 1: so you can talk without anyone overhearing. So, Tavi says,
[20:45] Speaker 1: what do you want to do? You shrug. I don't know,
[20:50] Speaker 1: what do people do in California? Tavi grins. Well, want
[20:56] Speaker 1: to go surfing? You smile. I absolutely want to go surfing, yes.
[21:02] Speaker 1: A little while later, You're standing on a beautiful California beach.
[21:08] Speaker 1: The ocean stretches endlessly before you. Waves roll towards the shore.
[21:15] Speaker 1: Surfers paddle through the water. Tavi hands you a surfboard.
[21:21] Speaker 1: Come on! You carry it into the ocean. Soon, you're
[21:26] Speaker 1: paddling toward the waves. Unfortunately, there's one problem. There are
[21:32] Speaker 1: surfers everywhere. Every time you see a good wave, someone
[21:39] Speaker 1: else catches it first. You try moving further down the beach,
[21:44] Speaker 1: but it's still crowded. You try waiting, but no luck.
[21:50] Speaker 1: Nobody seems to want to wait for you and your cousin.
[21:55] Speaker 1: This stinks, you say. Tavi looks around, and then he smiles.
[22:02] Speaker 1: I have an idea. He turns toward the little blue
[22:06] Speaker 1: blob sitting on the board beside him. Blobface, do the thing. Blobface,
[22:15] Speaker 1: the blob says, before diving into the water. For a moment,
[22:21] Speaker 1: nothing happens, and then a gigantic blue fin rises above
[22:26] Speaker 1: the surface.
[22:28] Speaker 3: You stare.
[22:30] Speaker 1: Oh, no. A massive blue shark explodes out of the water. Shark!
[22:38] Speaker 1: Someone screams. Surfers immediately begin paddling toward the shore. The
[22:43] Speaker 1: shark leaps again. Its enormous mouth opens wide, showing rows
[22:49] Speaker 1: of gigantic and very sharp-looking teeth. People scramble out of
[22:55] Speaker 1: the ocean. Blobby notices what's happening. His eyes light up.
[23:02] Speaker 3: Blobby!
[23:03] Speaker 1: He too dives into the water, and a moment later
[23:08] Speaker 1: an even bigger blue shark leaps into the air. Tavi
[23:12] Speaker 1: starts laughing. This is awesome. We're going to have the
[23:16] Speaker 1: whole place to ourselves in minutes. Blobface notices the larger shark,
[23:23] Speaker 1: so he grows bigger. Lobby grows bigger in response, and
[23:28] Speaker 1: soon there are two absolutely ridiculous giant blue sharks jumping
[23:33] Speaker 1: around in the ocean. It only takes a few minutes
[23:37] Speaker 1: until the beach is nearly empty. You look at Tavi.
[23:44] Speaker 1: I think they're competing. Yeah, Blobface likes to show off,
[23:49] Speaker 1: Tavi says. I do, too. But at least we have
[23:54] Speaker 1: the place to ourselves. You paddle out. A beautiful wave
[24:00] Speaker 1: begins rolling toward you. You turn your board, paddle faster
[24:05] Speaker 1: and faster. Then the wave catches you. You push yourself upright,
[24:12] Speaker 1: and suddenly, you're surfing. You glide along the wave as
[24:18] Speaker 1: the ocean rushes beneath your feet. Tavi catches another wave
[24:23] Speaker 1: beside you. This is awesome, you yell, but unfortunately you're
[24:30] Speaker 1: still learning. Your board wobbles, your knees shake, and then,
[24:36] Speaker 1: with a splash, you fall straight into the water. You
[24:40] Speaker 1: tumble beneath the surface, the wave pushing you along. When
[24:46] Speaker 1: you finally pop back up, you notice that you're further
[24:50] Speaker 1: from your board than you'd like. Oh, great. Suddenly, something
[24:56] Speaker 1: smooth brushes against your leg, which is never really a
[25:01] Speaker 1: good sign when you're in the water, but when you
[25:04] Speaker 1: look down, you see a bright blue dolphin. Blobby. Blobby,
[25:12] Speaker 1: the dolphin answers. and, well, nudges you towards the floating board.
[25:19] Speaker 1: You grab it. Then, as you climb on, Blobby swims
[25:25] Speaker 1: underneath and pushes you back out into the ocean. Thanks, buddy.
[25:32] Speaker 1: Before you can do anything, he turns you around and
[25:37] Speaker 1: starts to swim, pushing your board once again as the
[25:41] Speaker 1: wave approaches. Oh. Thanks, Blobby, you say as you catch
[25:47] Speaker 1: the wave, jump up on your board, and begin surfing
[25:52] Speaker 1: once again. You continue this for the rest of the afternoon,
[25:59] Speaker 1: Blobby helping you surf on a, well, pretty well abandoned beach.
[26:06] Speaker 1: You slowly get better at it, especially knowing that you
[26:09] Speaker 1: have a little life-saving companion swimming nearby at all times.
[26:15] Speaker 1: For the rest of the weekend, you have an incredible time. Surfing, swimming,
[26:22] Speaker 1: riding blue dolphins around and checking out the area. But eventually,
[26:28] Speaker 1: the weekend has to come to an end. It's time
[26:32] Speaker 1: to go home. You pack your clothes, your toothbrush, your souvenirs,
[26:39] Speaker 1: and of course, your little blue mouse. At least you're
[26:44] Speaker 1: pretty sure it's blobby. Tavi is still asleep when his
[26:48] Speaker 1: parents drive you to the airport. You say goodbye, get
[26:53] Speaker 1: through the security, and board the plane. This time, your
[26:59] Speaker 1: little blue mouse behaves perfectly. No escaping, or running underneath
[27:06] Speaker 1: the seats, or screaming passengers. You even sneak him a
[27:11] Speaker 1: little piece of your complimentary snack, which he eats happily.
[27:16] Speaker 1: then curls up inside your pocket. Good job, buddy, you whisper. Eventually,
[27:23] Speaker 1: the airplane lands and you're home, or pretty close to home.
[27:30] Speaker 1: You collect your bag and make your way outside. You
[27:35] Speaker 1: know you're supposed to catch the airport shuttle, but you
[27:39] Speaker 1: look down at the little blue mouse. You know what, Blobby?
[27:44] Speaker 1: The mouse looks up. Maybe we should ride home in style.
[27:49] Speaker 1: You grin. How about we find ourselves somewhere quiet, and
[27:55] Speaker 1: you turn back into that cat-dragon thing or whatever it was.
[28:00] Speaker 1: The little mouse suddenly looks uncomfortable. It glances around. Blobface,
[28:09] Speaker 1: it says quietly. You stop. What?
[28:13] Speaker 3: What?
[28:15] Speaker 1: Blob face you stare then suddenly with a whoosh something
[28:23] Speaker 1: enormous drops out of the sky a gigantic blue cat
[28:28] Speaker 1: dragon lands in the grassy area beside you and sitting
[28:33] Speaker 1: on its back is Tavi Tavi? your cousin climbs down
[28:42] Speaker 1: hey what are you doing here You ask. Tavi points
[28:47] Speaker 1: toward the mouse. You took the wrong one home. You
[28:52] Speaker 1: look down. The mouse slowly transforms into a little blue puppy,
[28:58] Speaker 1: and its ears drop. Its tail hangs between its legs. Blobface,
[29:05] Speaker 1: it says sadly. Tavi crosses his arms. Get over here, blobface.
[29:12] Speaker 1: The puppy slowly walks toward him I'm sorry, Tavi says laughing.
[29:19] Speaker 1: I didn't realize till after you left, but this little
[29:23] Speaker 1: guy kept saying blobby to everything. You look at the
[29:27] Speaker 1: enormous blue dragon cat. Blobby? Blobby, the dragon cat responds.
[29:37] Speaker 1: He immediately lowers his head and presses his it against you.
[29:41] Speaker 1: You wrap your arms around his enormous stout. Good to
[29:46] Speaker 1: see you too, buddy, even if I didn't think I
[29:49] Speaker 1: had you the whole time. Meanwhile, Blobface transforms into a
[29:54] Speaker 1: proper dragon of his own. Tavi climbs onto his back. Well,
[30:01] Speaker 1: I better get going home. It's a bit of a
[30:03] Speaker 1: long flight on a dragon. You laugh. Thanks for bringing
[30:07] Speaker 1: him back. No problem. Come visit again. I guess now
[30:13] Speaker 1: that I know you can come anytime you want with
[30:15] Speaker 1: a creature like that. Tavi gives a little kick and
[30:21] Speaker 1: the blue dragon jumps into the air, flying higher and
[30:25] Speaker 1: higher until he disappears into the sky. You climb onto
[30:31] Speaker 1: the very comfortable cat dragon and nudge him forward as well.
[30:38] Speaker 1: Before long, you find yourself flying over your very own neighborhood.
[30:45] Speaker 1: Blobby descends behind your house, you climb off, and he
[30:50] Speaker 1: shrinks back into his usual little blue blob. Then he
[30:55] Speaker 1: follows you inside. You carry your bag upstairs, change into
[31:02] Speaker 1: your pajamas, and climb into your wonderfully comfortable bed. Blobby
[31:08] Speaker 1: jumps up beside you. His body begins changing. Soft blue
[31:14] Speaker 1: fur grows across him once again. Four little blue paws appear.
[31:21] Speaker 1: A fluffy tail curls around his body. Until once again,
[31:27] Speaker 1: he's a beautiful... Long-haired blue cat. The non-dragon kind, of course.
[31:34] Speaker 1: He curls up beside your pillow. You reach over, give
[31:39] Speaker 1: him a little scratch behind the ears, and say, You know, buddy,
[31:44] Speaker 1: that was a pretty amazing vacation. Blobby closes his eyes. Blobby,
[31:52] Speaker 1: he says softly, and then he begins to purr. Slowly,
[32:02] Speaker 1: you begin to focus on your own breath, noticing your
[32:07] Speaker 1: stomach rise and fall with each breath and allowing your
[32:13] Speaker 1: muscles to relax a little bit more. You start by
[32:19] Speaker 1: focusing on your arms, letting go of any tension and
[32:25] Speaker 1: allowing them to sink into the mattress. Then you focus
[32:31] Speaker 1: on your legs and with the next out breath, you
[32:36] Speaker 1: allow them to fully relax and sink into the mattress
[32:41] Speaker 1: as well. You let go of the tension in your shoulders,
[32:47] Speaker 1: your neck, and even your face. And with each breath
[32:54] Speaker 1: you sink down deeper and deeper into the mattress. The
[32:59] Speaker 1: more you breathe, the better you feel, and the better
[33:04] Speaker 1: you feel, the deeper you sink. Until soon, you find
[33:11] Speaker 1: your mind wandering off to thoughts of new dreams, new adventures,
[33:20] Speaker 1: and new interesting blob transformations to come. Good night, everyone.
