About this episode
A weekly bedtime adventure that’s just spooky enough to thrill, but gentle enough for sweet dreams.
0:00
Creeeeak… scuffle-scuffle… creeeeak.
0:08
It wasn't the sound of the sleepy sea that Leo found in his whisper room.
0:26
This sound was closer.
0:31
It was coming from inside Maya’s bedroom.
0:41
Maya’s eyes popped open in the dark.
0:50
Her room was painted in stripes of silver moonlight from the window.
1:07
Everything was exactly where it should be.
1:17
Her stuffed giraffe, Geoffrey, was slumped in his chair.
1:31
Her books were in a tidy pile.
1:38
But the sound came again.
1:44
Creeeeak… scuffle… It was coming from the closet.
1:56
Now, Maya was a very brave kid.
2:03
She could climb the tallest tree in the park and she wasn't even scared of spiders.
2:24
Mostly.
2:25
But a mysterious noise from a dark closet at night?
2:38
That was different.
2:42
Her heart started to beat a little faster.
2:53
A little drumbeat in the quiet room.
3:01
Thump-thump.
3:04
Thump-thump.
3:07
What could it be?
3:11
A grumpy ghost?
3:15
A closet monster looking for a midnight snack?
3:26
She slid out from under her warm covers.
3:36
Her bare feet made no sound on the fuzzy rug.
3:47
One step.
3:49
Two steps.
3:51
She tiptoed past Geoffrey the giraffe, who seemed to be watching her with his button eyes.
4:13
Three steps.
4:16
Four.
4:18
Now she was standing right in front of the closet door.
4:31
Her hand reached for the cool, brass knob.
4:41
She took a deep breath, held it, and… turned.
4:52
The door swung open with a final, loud CREEEEEAK!
5:04
Maya squinted into the darkness inside.
5:14
She saw her winter coats hanging in a row.
5:24
She saw her rain boots on the floor.
5:32
And she saw… a pair of shoes.
5:40
One was her dad’s old, brown leather work boot.
5:51
The other was her own sparkly, brand-new sneaker.
6:03
And they were… moving.
6:08
The old brown boot was leaning over, looking very serious.
6:22
The sparkly sneaker was wiggling back and forth.
6:34
The boot made a low creaking sound as it leaned.
6:46
The sneaker made a little scuffle-scuffle sound as it tried to copy the boot.
7:05
The old boot was trying to teach the new sneaker how to tap dance.
7:21
And they were terrible at it.
7:28
The boot seemed to notice Maya standing there.
7:39
It froze.
7:41
The sneaker wobbled and fell over with a soft thud.
7:53
For a long moment, nobody moved.
8:01
Then, the boot gave a tiny, shy wiggle.
8:11
As if to say, “Sorry for the noise.” Maya didn't scream.
8:24
She didn't run.
8:28
A slow smile spread across her face.
8:37
A closet monster?
8:41
No.
8:42
Just a secret dance class.
8:48
“You have to be quieter,” she whispered, trying not to giggle.
9:03
“You’ll wake up the whole house.” She gently closed the closet door, leaving it just a tiny crack open.
9:28
Back in her bed, tucked under the covers, she listened.
9:42
After a minute, she heard it again.
9:50
A very, very quiet… creak… scuffle… shhhh.
10:00
They were trying to be silent dancers now.
10:10
Maya closed her eyes, smiling in the dark.
10:21
The sounds from the closet weren't scary anymore.
10:33
They were her secret.
10:38
A silly, sleepy, tap-dancing secret.
