0:00 The moon is not actually white, but a dark, dark gray.0:04 It’s the very same moon that watched over Leo and his Gentle Glow last week, and tonight, it was peeking right into Alex’s window.0:16 Everything was quiet.0:18 Everything was still.0:20 Except for the pebble.0:22 It sat right on the windowsill, where there was definitely NO pebble before.0:29 It was smooth and round and gray in the moonlight… until it wasn't.0:35 It began to glow, a soft, silvery-blue light pulsing like a tiny, sleepy heart.0:42 And then… it started to hum.0:44 A low, gentle, thrumming sound, like a secret song only the night could hear.0:51 Alex pulled the blankets up to their nose.0:55 What could it be?0:57 A tiny spaceship?0:58 A dragon’s lost tooth?1:00 An eyeball from a very, very small, and very, very polite monster?1:06 Probably not.1:07 But the hum was real.1:09 It seemed to pull at the air in the room, making everything feel… buzzy.1:16 Alex’s feet slipped out from under the warm covers.1:20 The floorboards gave a tiny, sleepy creak.1:24 Creeeeak.1:25 One step.1:26 Another.1:26 Alex crept closer, heart thumping a little drumbeat.1:31 Thump-thump.1:32 Thump-thump.1:33 The hum didn't get louder, but it felt… closer.1:37 It felt like it was waiting.1:40 Alex looked from the pebble to the cozy safety of the bed, and back again.1:46 What should a brave explorer do?1:49 Alex took a deep breath, and reached out one, single, curious finger.1:56 The air felt warm around the little stone.1:59 Closer… closer… TOUCH.2:01 The moment Alex’s finger touched the pebble, the humming stopped.2:07 The glow flashed ONCE, a bright, happy silver, and then softened into a gentle, steady light.2:16 And instead of a hum, Alex felt something else.2:20 A feeling.2:21 It was a feeling of… thank you.2:23 It felt like a warm hug, but for your thoughts.2:28 This wasn't a monster's eyeball at all.2:31 This was a Dream Stone.2:33 It had been humming because it was looking for a new dream to take care of.2:40 By being brave enough to touch it, Alex had told the stone it was finally home.2:47 Alex picked up the pebble.2:49 It felt warm and smooth in their palm, its light a steady, comforting glow.2:56 Alex padded back to bed, placing the Dream Stone on the nightstand.3:02 It wasn’t humming anymore.3:05 It was listening.3:06 Listening for all of Alex’s sleepy wishes, ready to turn them into the most wonderful adventures until morning.3:16 And Alex learned that sometimes, the things that seem a little spooky are just new friends you haven't said hello to yet.3:27 The little stone glowed softly, a tiny moon for a brave dreamer, guarding the night.
