00:00NINJA BABY
00:05Ninja Baby, ever heard of Ninja Babies?
00:09You might think I'm joking, but am I really?
00:13Hi-ya! Ha! Ha-ha-ha! Ow!
00:19Oh, sweetie, how many times have I asked you not to tumble around like that?
00:25But I want to be a ninja!
00:28Ninjas aren't always shouting, Hi-ya!
00:32And she's right. Mothers know best.
00:35Real ninjas? They're masters of invisibility.
00:38So adept, they're barely noticed while vigilantly observing everything around them.
00:43Oh, and speaking of which, almost didn't spot her here.
00:51Baby Erica! There you are. I've been looking all over for you.
00:56I even checked here a few times, but somehow missed you.
00:59I was just watching that bird over there. It's got a cool spot.
01:09Oh, that bird is so far away. And you can see a spot on him?
01:14Uh-huh.
01:15All right, it's dinner time. And what do we always say?
01:19A healthy tummy is the way to a healthy mind.
01:27Baby Erica was discovered by Mr. Chow on a stormy night.
01:33Or at least, that's the tale Mr. Chow spun for the young child.
01:38You arrived in a golden basket, left on my doorstep by fairies.
01:44They told me your parents had embarked on an endless adventure.
01:48And now you were my precious charge.
01:51You know, it's not very nice to say a child's parents went on a trip and never came back.
01:57Ahem, I meant to say a gentle stork brought you here because I was deemed worthy of such a wonderful gift.
02:06Gah! Uncle Chow!
02:10Though just a toddler, Erica was no ordinary child.
02:14Something Mr. Chow was gradually beginning to understand.
02:21Oh, that one?
02:23Uh-huh.
02:24Hmm, this is a puzzler. Wait, I've got it!
02:30Huh?
02:43You figured it out without even breaking a shred.
02:48You could have been hurt. How did you do that?
02:51I don't really know. It just makes sense to me.
02:55But tell me, how did your slipper end up way over there?
03:00I'm the shortest one. My friends think it's funny to play pranks on me.
03:06I mean, I know they're my friends, but sometimes I wish they'd stop.
03:12True friends should care about how you feel, right?
03:15Maybe it's time they learned that.
03:18Erica was not your average toddler.
03:21With wisdom beyond her years and extraordinary hand-eye coordination, she impressed everyone around her.
03:29How much for this? Thank you!
03:35Oh!
03:40Oops! There you go!
03:45Wow, Erica! I wish my Sammy could catch things like that.
03:50But he's so good with colors, Mrs. Darwell. I wish I could paint like Sammy does.
03:56That's very kind of you to say, dear.
04:00Erica's keen observation skills were just as remarkable as her agility.
04:06May I have that orange, please?
04:13Hmm. Uncle Chow, that man just slipped an apple into his bag.
04:19Oh, I am so sorry. This must have fallen in by mistake. Here, please take it back.
04:29See, Erica? Sometimes things aren't exactly as they seem.
04:35I know what I saw. Something still isn't right here.
04:39Erica's intuition was razor sharp, and she trusted it completely when it came to Mr. Roderick.
04:49I can't park there. That's reserved for handicapped parking.
04:54Ah, I didn't see that. Thank you for pointing it out.
04:59No problem. I'll park a little further away.
05:09Erica, are you listening?
05:12Yes. You were saying you want to go home, which you say every day.
05:17Sammy, what do you think about Mr. Roderick?
05:20Oh, Mr. Roderick? Oh, he's wonderful.
05:24Yesterday, when Mommy was hurt and couldn't go to the market, he took our list and bought everything.
05:31How kind of him.
05:33Hmm. He's a little too helpful for someone who's new in town.
05:38Over the weeks, Mr. Roderick became everyone's favorite.
05:44He respected the elders.
05:48Followed the town's rules.
05:53And even won over the children.
05:55I've got some for everyone.
05:57I am not supposed to have chocolates.
06:01Oh, come on. Just this once. I'll talk to Mrs. Darwell.
06:08You must be Erica. Don't you want one?
06:12No, thank you. I need to go home for lunch with my uncle.
06:16Ah, you live with your uncle, right? I'm sure he's wonderful.
06:22How does he know all this?
06:26Everything all right, Munchkin? You seem worried.
06:30Uncle Chow, if you don't trust someone who everyone else trusts, what should I do?
06:37That's called instinct, and you should never ignore it.
06:41Listen to others, but trust your gut above all.
06:46With that, Erica had a plan.
06:49She followed Mr. Roderick, observing his every move.
06:53But not even once did Erica lose her focus.
06:56She was stealthy, steady, and calm.
06:59Like a true ninja.
07:01This went on for a couple of days.
07:03Each morning, Roderick left his house in the morning, and Erica followed.
07:07Erica was making mental notes of every move he made.
07:16I've been tailing him for days, yet he never seems to work. Why?
07:24You need to stop. Please buzz away somewhere else.
07:28I'm going to get to the bottom of this.
07:31Oh, I'm so sorry.
07:33I'm sorry, Mr. Roderick.
07:35I'm sorry, Mr. Roderick.
07:37I'm sorry, Mr. Roderick.
07:39I'm sorry, Mr. Roderick.
07:41I'm sorry, Mr. Roderick.
07:44Ah!
07:47Well, it is getting late.
07:49Uncle Chow will be worried.
07:51Come on, Bee. Let's go home.
08:07Good morning, Munchkin.
08:09Come help me look for weeds.
08:14Uncle Chow, you do this every day.
08:17Weeds don't sprout that fast.
08:20I know, but consistency is key.
08:23It might be boring, but it's how you master anything.
08:27Today's world is full of distractions, but boredom sharpens focus.
08:32But it's boring to do the same thing.
08:35Yes, it is.
08:37And that's why one should do it every day.
08:40You see, today, everybody is always distracted.
08:44But getting bored is an important part of focus.
08:48You keep doing one thing over and over, and you will master it.
08:53Of course!
08:55Okay, Uncle Chow. Thank you. Bye.
08:59Huh?
09:05Mr. Chow is right.
09:07Mr. Roderick isn't just loitering.
09:10He's up to something.
09:12But what's his motive?
09:19Erica was determined to track Mr. Roderick's movement.
09:27But she knew he'd spot her reflection in the rearview mirror.
09:31Thinking quickly, Ninja Erica concocted a clever scheme.
09:38Ah!
09:51As the traffic light turned red,
09:53Erica, with the stealth of a seasoned ninja,
09:56secured her skateboard to the undercarriage of Mr. Roderick's car
10:00and lay flat, hidden from view.
10:03Mr. Roderick, oblivious to a silent passenger, drove off.
10:08To Erica's astonishment,
10:10Mr. Roderick didn't stop until he crossed the town's borders,
10:14arriving at a secluded estate.
10:22Hello there, Mr. B.
10:24We must never repeat this risky maneuver.
10:27Understand? It's extremely dangerous.
10:31Bzzz! Bzzz! Bzzz! Bzzz!
10:37Erica stealthily followed Mr. Roderick into a cabin,
10:43which surprisingly turned out to be an elevator.
10:46Inside,
10:50she was stunned by what she heard.
10:54Sally, any updates from our surveillance?
10:58Boss, despite all the cameras we've installed,
11:02we still can't identify the so-called threat we were warned about.
11:07Our intel was explicit.
11:10This town is protected by a formidable presence,
11:13yet none of the townsfolk seem to pose any danger.
11:20Let's not linger on this phantom threat any longer.
11:23Time to proceed with our plan.
11:27Understood, boss.
11:29You've led us well.
11:31The night museum, as planned, is closed for pest control tonight,
11:37making it the ideal time to seize the town's ancient gem.
11:42Exactly.
11:44Now all we need to do is disguise ourselves as pest control workers
11:49and walk right into the museum.
11:53Bzzz! Bzzz! Bzzz!
11:56That night, a surprise awaited Mr. Roderick and Mr. Sally at the night museum.
12:05Sally, what is Mrs. Darwell doing here?
12:10We are from the pest control office.
12:15And I'm from the beauty clinic, apparently.
12:23What's happening?
12:27Mr. Roderick, were you attempting to steal the gem?
12:33Of course. Wait, why did I just admit to that?
12:37What your cameras failed to reveal is that I'm also a pharmacist,
12:42and in my home I concoct various potions.
12:47You've just ingested a truth serum while you were asleep.
12:52But how did you know it was us?
12:56All thanks to my vigilant daughter, who's been watching you closely.
13:01Mrs. Darwell, were you the threat I was warned about?
13:06What?
13:08Let's cut the charades, Mr. Roderick.
13:10Mrs. Darwell, let's find out about these cameras.
13:14I'll handle this.
13:17With the town back to normal, Erica continued to hone her ninja skills,
13:22this time for sneaking cookies.
13:28Sammy returned to his painting, and Mrs. Darwell resumed her creative concoctions.
13:34Roderick and Sally found themselves behind bars.
13:37However, secrets lingered.
13:40Roderick and Sally were not the only ones with hidden agendas.
13:53Your Majesty, rest assured, your daughter is safe and thriving under my care.
13:59The ninja princess will indeed rise.
14:10THE END
