﻿1
00:00:06,267 --> 00:00:10,533
Vinnie slammed the album shut.

2
00:00:10,534 --> 00:00:15,482
“Did you see that?” he asked, his voice shaking.

3
00:00:15,483 --> 00:00:17,832
“That pyramid was glowing!”

4
00:00:17,833 --> 00:00:20,778
Mandy nodded slowly.

5
00:00:20,779 --> 00:00:24,067
“Should we tell Mom and Dad?”

6
00:00:24,068 --> 00:00:25,800
Vinnie shook his head.

7
00:00:25,801 --> 00:00:29,213
“No, this is our little secret.”

8
00:00:29,214 --> 00:00:34,649
“There was something written below the picture,” Mandy said.

9
00:00:34,650 --> 00:00:37,490
“Maybe we should read it.”

10
00:00:37,491 --> 00:00:40,668
Vinnie nodded and opened the album.

11
00:00:40,669 --> 00:00:43,554
The handwriting was small and neat.

12
00:00:43,555 --> 00:00:51,612
“‘August 24, my first photo travels,’” Mandy read aloud.

13
00:00:51,613 --> 00:00:56,714
“Photo travels? What’s that?” Vinnie interrupted.

14
00:00:56,715 --> 00:00:59,345
Mandy continued to read.

15
00:00:59,346 --> 00:01:03,691
“‘I found this photo album in my uncle’s attic.

16
00:01:03,692 --> 00:01:07,275
It didn’t look special on the outside.

17
00:01:07,276 --> 00:01:12,876
But once I opened it, it changed my life forever.’”

18
00:01:12,877 --> 00:01:17,821
“So he found the album in an attic too,” said Vinnie.

19
00:01:17,822 --> 00:01:21,238
Nodding, Mandy continued to read.

20
00:01:21,239 --> 00:01:23,819
“‘People say I’m crazy.

21
00:01:23,820 --> 00:01:25,708
Maybe I am.

22
00:01:25,709 --> 00:01:29,219
But I have traveled to the past.

23
00:01:29,220 --> 00:01:34,020
I even have proof—this photo album.’”

24
00:01:34,021 --> 00:01:36,039
“Travel to the past?

25
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:40,444
Like in a time machine?” Vinnie asked excitedly.

26
00:01:40,445 --> 00:01:42,226
“Go on reading!”

27
00:01:42,227 --> 00:01:50,551
“'My first travel—to Egypt . . .'" Mandy held her breath.

28
00:01:50,552 --> 00:01:54,489
“'A glowing pyramid called to me.'”

29
00:01:54,490 --> 00:02:00,689
“Mandy, do you think it’s calling to us too?” Vinnie asked.

30
00:02:00,690 --> 00:02:03,514
He pulled the photo out of the album.

31
00:02:03,515 --> 00:02:10,301
Mandy continued, “‘When I looked into the light, my adventures began.’”

32
00:02:10,302 --> 00:02:12,936
"But how did he go back in time?

33
00:02:12,937 --> 00:02:15,876
And why do the pictures glow?”

34
00:02:15,877 --> 00:02:18,474
Vinnie stared at the photo.

35
00:02:18,475 --> 00:02:22,344
“Vinnie, maybe we should forget all this.”

36
00:02:22,345 --> 00:02:24,868
Mandy looked at her watch.

37
00:02:24,869 --> 00:02:27,421
It was almost noon.

38
00:02:27,422 --> 00:02:30,415
“Let’s just go and have lunch.”

39
00:02:30,416 --> 00:02:33,132
But Vinnie did not hear her.

40
00:02:33,133 --> 00:02:36,300
His eyes were fixed on the photograph.

41
00:02:36,301 --> 00:02:41,685
“Vinnie, you’re scaring me! Stop it!” she cried.

42
00:02:41,686 --> 00:02:44,352
“But what if it’s real?

43
00:02:44,353 --> 00:02:47,952
What if we really could go back in time?”

44
00:02:47,953 --> 00:02:50,738
Vinnie said in a dreamy voice.

45
00:02:50,739 --> 00:02:55,262
“I’m going downstairs,” Mandy insisted.

46
00:02:55,263 --> 00:02:57,538
Vinnie grabbed her arm.

47
00:02:57,539 --> 00:03:02,667
“Don’t you want an adventure, Mandy?” he said excitedly.

48
00:03:02,668 --> 00:03:07,623
“I do, but I’m also scared,” she said honestly.

49
00:03:07,624 --> 00:03:10,858
“How do we travel to the past?

50
00:03:10,859 --> 00:03:15,166
And I’m worried about how we’d get back home again.”

51
00:03:15,167 --> 00:03:18,772
“Mandy,” her brother suddenly shouted.

52
00:03:18,773 --> 00:03:22,007
“The pyramid is getting brighter!”

53
00:03:22,008 --> 00:03:27,414
Sure enough, the pyramid was glowing with a bright yellow light.

54
00:03:27,415 --> 00:03:32,278
Now the children really couldn’t take their eyes off the light.

55
00:03:32,279 --> 00:03:36,809
“‘When I looked into the light, my adventures began.’”

56
00:03:36,810 --> 00:03:40,982
Vinnie repeated the words written in the album.

57
00:03:40,983 --> 00:03:44,896
The heat from the light felt hot against their faces.

58
00:03:44,897 --> 00:03:47,934
It forced them to close their eyes.

59
00:03:47,935 --> 00:03:51,588
Now they could see the pyramid in their minds.

60
00:03:51,589 --> 00:03:54,535
It seemed to be coming closer.

61
00:03:54,536 --> 00:03:59,538
“Vinnie, I’m scared,” cried Mandy.

62
00:03:59,539 --> 00:04:04,200
Suddenly, the children felt their feet lift off the ground.

63
00:04:04,201 --> 00:04:09,751
Vinnie grabbed his sister’s hand and shouted, “Hang on, Mandy!”

64
00:04:09,752 --> 00:04:12,567
He held her hand tightly.

65
00:04:12,568 --> 00:04:14,421
“I’ve changed my mind!

66
00:04:14,422 --> 00:04:17,735
I don’t want to do this!” Vinnie cried.

67
00:04:17,736 --> 00:04:21,186
He tried to open his eyes, but couldn’t.

68
00:04:21,187 --> 00:04:23,292
It was too bright.

69
00:04:23,293 --> 00:04:25,092
“Mandy!”

70
00:04:25,093 --> 00:04:26,482
“Vinnie!”

71
00:04:26,483 --> 00:04:30,735
Still holding on to each other, the children screamed.

72
00:04:30,736 --> 00:04:37,593
They began to fall down a deep dark tunnel.
