It's time, my little one.

Our world depends on you now. Follow your heart.

It will always keep you safe.

I got this.

Oh no!

Whoa! Ooh! Wait for me! I need something from you!

Ha! Ugh! Ahhhh!!!

No fair! It's a beautiful thing when you truly see what the world can bring. Make a wish, share a dream, 'cause magic's everywhere if you just believe. We can be what we dream with a touch of magic. Believe in what you see, we've got the recipe. We can be what we dream with a touch of magic. -Here it comes. -Here we go.

I've got it.

Whoa! I don't got it.

Don't be discouraged, Brooklyn.

For someone who just learned to surf, you are doing amazing.

I had amazing teachers. You, Ken, your sisters.

It's been the best summer.

I wish you could stay just a little longer.

Do you really have to go back to New York?

Where else am I gonna wear all my fave winter coats?

But for reals, I miss my family.

I get that.

It was hard for me spending so much time away from my family last year.

But I loved living in New York.

I wish you could see more of my world here in Malibu.

Yeah. But we'd need magic to make that happen.

You know what I always say, anything is possible.

Whoa!

That's a big one. Paddle!

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

You okay?

Yeah. You? Yeah. That was so weird. It just came out of nowhere.

Hey. What's that?

That's a...

Baby horse?

Who brings a baby horse to the beach and leaves it all alone?

It's okay, girl. We won't hurt you.

She likes us.

Um, what was that?

Maybe she came from a birthday party... at sea.

I don't know.

Anyway, let's get her in my car.

Maybe we can take her to the stables and see if someone there recognizes her.

Good plan. Come on, cutie.

Nailed it!

Aw... Ooh. I spy with my little eye something cute and fluffy.

That's way too easy, Stacie. It's Honey.

My turn.

I spy with my little eye...

Need orange juice. Ugh...

Something grumpy.

Morning Skipper!

Ugh... Orange juice...

Hi Barbie. What's up?

Hey Mom. So... we found a little horse.

We're gonna take it to the stables.

You guys, keep it... What? I can't really hear you, honey.

Okay. Alright, well don't be too long.

See you later.

What are they up to for Brooklyn's last day in Malibu?

Something about making a purse on a table.

Teenagers! Right?

I'm off to work.

Bye dear. Bye girls.

- Bye Mom! -Bye Margaret.

I've gotta get going too.

I'm recording voice over for my latest documentary, "The sleep habits of the most timid creature.

"The Bat-eared fox." Can you girls help me out by staying extra quiet today?

Not a problem for me. I'm going back to bed.

Don't worry Dad, we'll find something quiet to do.

Right Chelsea?

We'll be as quiet as a Bat-eared fox asleep in space.

Won't we, Honey?

Whoa! Whoa!

Oh... Could you start by taking the puppies outside?

I'll go check in the office, see if anyone has reported losing a baby horse.

And I'll post something online, just in case anyone knows anything.

Okay. Here we go.

Hey y'all. Barbie Brooklyn Roberts here.

One last thing to do before heading home to NYC.

Check out what we found.

What... the...

Whoa! Pony!

Hey! Come back!

Stop! Party crashing is not cool!

Ahhh! A pony!

Hey!

I don't know who she belongs to, Barbie.

But I'm happy to keep her here as long as she's well-behaved.

Pony! Come back!

Who wants cake?

Ahhhh!!!!

Is this your horse?

Uh...

-Um... -Well...

Can we go inside now? I'm tired of being quiet.

That is the exact reason we cannot go inside.

Hey!

Hi Barbie!

Shh! Chelsea! Everyone shush.

Dad's trying to work.

Oh, good to know. Can you guys lend us a hand?

100

Sure. What with?

101

Wow!

102

A pony. Technically it's a foal. A baby horse... we think.

103

Can I keep it?

104

-Shh! -Shh!

105

It's okay, puppies.

106

Careful! That's an original Saint Louis the 14th reproduction.

107

Whittaker! Stop roaming around and help me!

108

Moving is exhausting.

109

Ugh! Yes dear.

110

Don't just stand there, get me another box for this one.

111

Yes dear. Here you go, dear.

112

Ugh! What riff-raff!

113

That is the reason we're moving.

114

Trey! Come out here and tell those rude almost ex-neighbors of ours to be quiet.

115

Ah... do I have to?

116

I cannot wait to be living next to a higher class of...

117

Oh... Don't wait for me.

118

Ah! Ugh!!!

119

Oh! Oh boy. Reardon at 12 o'clock.

120

His family has a history of reporting us to the City every time we even look at a new animal.

121

Can you take her?

122

Yes please.

123

Come on, cutie.

124

Come on, let's go.

125

Hey Barbie. Whatcha doing?

126

Nothing.

127

Not you. The cute one.

128

So... moving day already?

129

Don't be jelly.

130

Not every family can own the biggest house in Malibu.

131

It's only two houses over from where we currently live but way bigger.

132

Wanna come see?

133

Sure, but not right...

134

Not you, Roberts.

135

The other, cooler, Roberts.

136

Huh? Huh? Oh yeah.

137

I appreciate the offer but I'm heading back to New York today so... way too busy.

138

Wait, what?

139

No! I never got a chance to impress you.

140

Ah... and what a tragedy that is.

141

Oh well, hit me up if you're ever in New York.

142

I will! And then I'll really impress you.

143

-Uh-huh. Bye. -Bye.

144

Whoa! Who moves a tub full of bubble bath?

145

How else would I take a bath in our new house?

146

Honestly Trey, it's like you were raised by wolves.

147

The baby Bat-eared fox raises its tiny head at the sound of its mother delicately approaching.

148

Girls!

149

Let's try it again.

150

Mee may mah mah moo.

151

The baby Bat-eared fox raises its tiny head at the sound of its...

152

- - Girls! I'm working!

153

-Sorry Dad. -Sorry Dad.

154

Why can't she stay in my room?

155

My room's closer. Come on, you'll love my room.

156

Only if she likes smelly socks.

157

Okay. Third time's a charm.

158

The baby Bat-eared fox raises its tiny head...

159

- - Better not be trying to sneak another pet in here.

160

What the...

161

Everything's fine.

162

Explain. Now.

163

It's just you.

164

What are you doing?

165

I meant hide her in the backyard.

166

You could've been more specific.

167

No time, no time. We're in crisis mode here.

168

Help us get her outside.

169

Okay. I still need an explanation!

170

Shh! Ooh! Pretty feather.

171

Huh? Hey.

172

Ah-ha! Ha!

173

Thanks! Uh... I don't think it's normal for a baby horse to sleep like that.

174

I don't think there's anything normal about her.

175

Hey. What's this?

176

A feather? Did that come from her?

177

Hello there. Did you miss me?

178

You have to move, Trey, before we can miss you.

179

Again... not talking to you.

180

I got to thinking. Life is short.

181

What do you say we go get some decaf kombuchas?

182

It just wouldn't be fair if you left Malibu without experiencing the full Reardon effect.

183

Hmm, somehow I think I'll live.

184

Uh... uh... you know what? Life is short.

185

Mmhmm. -What? -You will?

186

Horsei-gay Treeti-gay.

187

Huh? Oh... Oh... That sounds like a great plan.

188

You two head on out.

189

You will not be disappointed.

190

I just uploaded all my baby pictures.

191

Meet me out front.

192

Whoa! Oh! Sis, you owe me.

193

I know. Thank you.

194

Okay girl, let's get you... What? Where are you?

195

How did you... Never mind. It's okay.

196

Stay still. I'll be right...

197

Whoa! You can fly.

198

How totally normal.

199

Oh! You really saw her fly?

200

Well, more of a float.

201

One question.

202

Why is this all happening in my room?

203

The smell of Stacie's socks seems to calm her.

204

They probably remind her of a stable.

205

Horse. Feathers. Tree top. Floats.

206

No matter how I put the words in the search bar it keeps coming up with the same thing.

207

The legend of Pegasus.

208

I knew it. She's a magical flying horse.

209

I think I'll call her Lady Pegasus Peanut Butter Horsington the third.

210

-Peggy for short. - She likes her name.

211

Okay. Think, Barbie.

212

She appeared on the beach after a really big wave and a sudden thunderstorm.

213

Why? I bet she lives in a magical land and the storm knocked her out of her nest.

214

Uh-huh. Okay.

215

But if she's a flying horse, where are her wings?

216

Whatever you are, I sure wish I knew how to get you home.

217

Wow. Are you seeing this?

218

Yup. Definitely magical.

219

Uh, is now really the best time to post on social media?

220

I'm not posting, I'm researching.

221

Okay. The giant wave brought her here.

222

Maybe one can take her back.

223

Look!

224

There is a huge swell coming in at sunset tonight.

225

I need to get Peggy to the beach.

226

And here's a video of me on my first yacht.

227

You're, like, seven.

228

Yeah, my parents waited until I was old enough to appreciate it.

229

They didn't wanna spoil me.

230

That didn't happen until I was 10 when I got my first private jet.

231

Ooh! I have a video.

232

Brooklyn! Someone needs to go home.

233

Now! You're just jealous Barbie is spending her last few minutes in Malibu with me.

234

Yes. That is exactly right.

235

I am talking about Brooklyn so we need to leave now.

236

Uh... oh... orse-hay flying-fay ave-way omay...

237

Uh... no... just get over here.

238

Huh? Ah, yeah. Sure. Later Trey.

239

What? Wait!

240

Huh? How much is this stuff?

241

I see you.

242

And she didn't even drink her decaf kombucha.

243

Ah-ha!

244

Hey! I need this! I'll bring it back, I promise.

245

Oh, come on! No! That's my Gram-Gram's.

246

She's magic? For reals?

247

A pegasus. Peggy for short.

248

And you had a vision of her on the beach?

249

I don't know what I saw but I know she doesn't belong here and we've gotta get her back home before something bad happens.

250

Bad. Like maybe someone chasing us?

251

Whoever that is, Peggy sure doesn't like her.

252

She's gaining on us. Can't you go any faster?

253

Not if I wanna be a safe and legal driver.

254

- -Watch out!

255

-Ah! -Coming through!

256

-My pretzel! -Watch it!

257

Oh, I wish there was a way to get away from that girl.

258

Oh, whoa, whoa...

259

Ahhhh! Ugh!!!

260

What happened?

261

I don't know.

262

I said it, it happened, I'll take it.

263

Dude, that was sick! Right!

264

Aw, yeah. Did... did we miss it? The huge swell?

265

Oh yeah, it was killer. It was like wham!

266

Then... ... boom!

267

Epic. There won't be waves like that again ever.

268

Ugh. We're too late.

269

I'm so sorry, Peggy. But don't you worry.

270

I'll get you home... somehow.

271

There is so much more I wanna know.

272

I wish I didn't have to go back yet.

273

It's my parents. They want me to meet them?

274

Uh... that's my neighbors. The Reardon's old house.

275

Weird. Mom. Dad. What are you doing here?

276

I got a temporary transfer to LAX.

277

I'll be flying out of Los Angeles this year.

278

We know how much you loved spending your summer with Barbie.

279

So, when we saw this house come up on the market, all the cards just fell into place.

280

So I'm staying in Malibu?

281

For a while anyway.

282

Uh... if that's what you want.

283

Woohoo! Yes!

284

I can't believe it!

285

You're staying. You can help me get Peggy home.

286

What should we do first?

287

Find out who that scooter girl is.

288

Here's your dumb scooter.

289

You brought it back!

290

Duh. I promised and a glyph never breaks her promise.

291

We're tricksters, not thieves.

292

Although I do see how that can be confusing.

293

A glyph? Uh... oops... ah!

294

I shouldn't have said that.

295

Forget!

296

Uh, what were you saying?

297

And... eww... why is my scooter all sticky?

298

Because someone outplayed me.

299

And I assure you that it won't happen again.

How to practise with this video

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
