Daniel tiger has just woken up from his sleep after his birthday party. (he's 13 now btw) he gets his breakfast when saying good morning to his parents during breakfast Daniel's mother was worried about Baker Aker. This morning she got a call from Akers wife Anna, she said that he never came back since last night, he forgot something at Daniel's home so he left to go retrieve.

Sometime later Daniel got a call from Prince Wednesday. "Hey daniel, so I was wondering, can we hangout at the park, we got some of our friends here with others coming." Wednesday asks on the phone. "I'll get my parents permission. (turns and talks to his parents) Mom, dad, can I hangout with Wednesday?" Daniel asked. "Sure, you deserve it my thirteen year old." Daniel's dad said "hey I'm his parent too" his mother smiled. 

"Okay thanks." Daniel replied. "Ok I'm on my way." Daniel then got ready and went outside and boarded trolley (trolley is there neighbourhood transportation)

(Daniels mind) I hope that Baker Aker is going to be ok.

Meanwhile, with O the Owl, Prince Wednesday, Miss Elaina, and Jodi.

"Hey I heard that Baker Aker went missing today?" prince Wednesday questioned. "Yeah I hope he's okay, anyways do you think that Daniel and Katerina are." Miss Elaina said. "Yep they're in love with each other and it's kinda obvious now that I think about it." Prince Wednesday stated. "Yeah I'm calling that Daniel likes her." O the Owl said 

"He does tend to act differently compare to us." Miss Elaina stated. "And both of them have been hanging out more and more often since grandpere's death." Jodi said.

Then Katerina walked in. "Hello guys you want me" Katerina said. "Oh Yes I was thinking that all of us could do something." said Prince Wednesday. "Okay sure." Katerina responded

"Ding Ding" (trolley arrived with Daniel)

"Thanks for the ride. (He turns and talks to his friends) Good morning guys" Daniel said. "Morning" Prince Wednesday replied. "Hey Daniel what are you doing here?" Katerina asked. "Oh Wednesday asked me on the phone if I can come over here" Daniel replied "Oh yeah, forgot about that." Prince Wednesday mentioned.

"So what are we going to do today?" Daniel asked. "Umm let's umm let's play tag." Prince Wednesday said. "Ok NOT IT" Miss Elaina said

And everyone said not it, but Daniel was last. "Daniel your last." Jodi mentioned. "Aww come on, (sigh) fine I'll be it." Daniel then counted down 10 to 1 while everyone scattered 

"10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1." Daniel was done counting when he looked around.

(Daniel's mind:if I can get out of sight I can catch one of them by surprise)

Everyone ran at random directions but they all lost sight of Daniel. "Where did Daniel go?" Katerina ask

Everyone spread out trying to see him but unfortunately Miss Elaina was near a tree and Daniel was behind it.

(Daniel's mind: Now's my chance) He ran after Miss Elaina. She saw him coming out of nowhere and but wasn't prepared and tried to run but Daniel eventually got her. "No fair you came out of nowhere" Miss Elaina said "Well you shouldn't drew that picture Miss Elaina, so where even" Daniel replied then ran

The game went for awhile. Miss Elaina then got O the Owl, then he got Jodi. Then she got Katerina by using the same tactic like Daniel. Katerina then got Miss Elaina, Miss Elaina then got prince Wednesday then gets O the Owl, then try's to get Daniel but he used the bushes and trees to get away, then got Katerina.

Then Katerina tried he best to get Daniel but couldn't seem to get him. "I'm coming to get you Daniel."  Katerina said. "Good luck with that." Daniel said.

Katerina then got an idea. She hides behind a tree. Daniel now thinking that he lost her Attempt to get to prince Wednesday but Katerina comes out of nowhere and tries to tag Daniel. "Ahh." Daniel said. He was forced backwards then falls on his back

"Daniel! Are you okay?" Katerina said. But then she trips the same spot where Daniel fell. "Wohh" Katerina then falls onto Daniel. Breaking her fall. They both stared at each other while blushing at the same time, and their friends saw it.

They both got up. "Daniel I'm so sorry!" Katerina apologized. "It's okay it was by accident" Daniel said. Jodi, O the Owl, Miss Elaina, and Wednesday watch at a distance. They smile at each other.

"Anyways I'm it." Daniel then goes to get Prince Wednesday. "Wednesday was caught off guard because he thought that Daniel would have gotten Katerina instead of him. Daniel then tags prince Wednesday. "Your it Wednesday" Daniel said. "Hey, I thought you were going to get Katerina." Wednesday said. Daniel ran away. 

Then Wednesday got O, then O got Daniel And he tried to get prince Wednesday but wasn't able to. He got tired from the running and lay down on the ground exhausted.

"Hey Daniel you good?" Wednesday asked. "Yeah (breaths) just tired."Daniel said. "I guess we all should take a break." Katerina added.

So everyone stopped for awhile. But there was that one thing that was in Wednesdays mind

Daniel was looking at Katerina talking to Miss Elaina and Jodi at a distance when Prince Wednesday came. "Hey Daniel"  Wednesday said. "Oh hey Wednesday." Daniel replied. "This has been a fun day, isn't it Daniel?" Wednesday said. "Yeah." Daniel replied. "So Daniel I got a question?" Wednesday said. "Sure what is it?" Daniel asked. 

"Do you like Katerina?" Wednesday asks. "Wh...WHAT NO why would you say that!" Daniel questioned. "Well we all saw Katerina fall on you and you went for me and not Katerina Daniel" Wednesday pointed out.. "What? That does not mean I like her, I accidentally fell and she fell on me." Daniel explain

O the Owl then came. "Hey guys what are you guys talking about?" O said. "Oh nothing just that Daniel has a crush on Katerina." Prince Wednesday explains. "For the last time, No I Don't!" Daniel said annoyed "Well from what we saw yesterday and today you totally like her." Wednesday said. 

(Daniel's mind: "Wait. Did he saw us outside?") Daniel then felt a bit angry. Wednesday and O saw this and they realized that they might have pushed him too far.

"Daniel. Where sorry." Wednesday and O apologized they wanted to avoid an event that happened around a year ago. Daniel then snapped out of it and calmed down. "It's fine you guys just wanted to joke around. I guess it got to me." Daniel said. "Hey at least you have us Daniel." Prince Wednesday added.

"Thanks guys, I think I'll go for a walk for a bit but I'll be back for that tag game." Daniel said. "Okay" O said.

Daniel was walking around for a bit then Katerina, Miss Elaina, and Jodi looking at something.

"Umm guys what are you guys looking at." Daniel asked?. "Umm I don't know. It looks like a shoe" Jodi said. 

They tried talking it off but to no avail. They tried digging but on closer inspection it was to there was something shocking. It looked like a human's leg, they looked traumatized. When Prince Wednesday and O got there They decided to call the Police.

Minutes later one, a couple policemen showed up with shovels and began to dig down.

Daniel and his friends were ordered to stay out of this but stay with an officer to keep watching them. When they where finally done. it was there where there worst fears have came true and has now been unearthed from the ground.
