Matthew's (MatPat) POV:

I rose up from my bed. I looked over at my sleeping wife and smiled. I then got ready and headed downstairs. I to the kitchen. I then walked over to cab it and opened it. There I saw pots and pans, as well as a couple of mugs we don't want Oliver to break. I reached my hand for a pan and grasped the handle of it. I placed the pan over a blue flame on a stove. I poured a tanish liquid onto the pan. The liquid formed a perfect circle. 

A couple minutes later I took out a black spatula. Bubbles formed all over the tanish circle. I slid the spatula under the pancake. I lifted the spatula up with my hand and swiftly flipped the pancake. A couple more minutes later I slid the pancake off of the pan and placed it on a pearl white glass plate. I lathered the pancake with butter. Then I sprinkled chocolate chips on the perfectly circular pancake. I did this over and over. There were two plates with three pancakes, and one with two. The ones with three for Stephanie and I, and the one with two for Oliver. Stephanie came down holding Oliver.

I greeted her and pecked her on the lips. She placed Oliver in his high chair. Stephanie and I sat across from each other.  I was having a good morning. I'm just worried about Joey. I ahven't heard from him in a while. Stephanie and I had a fun conversation about final preparation from Oliver's third birthday. It was tomorrow.

"How are you doing today, Ollie?" I asked Oliver.

"I am good." He replied in a stuttering manner.

Then I heard a knock on the door.

"I'll get it." I stated. Stephanie just nodded. She watched Oliver.

I walked to the door and reached for the metal handle. I turned the handle and opened the door. There stood the postman.

"Hello!" I greeted him.

"Hello, Matthew." He replied.

The postman handed me a white envelope.

"Thank you!" I spoke.

"Just doing my job." He replied. Maybe he isn't having a good day.

I stood in the doorway and opened the envelope and pulled out a white piece of paper. The paper had a symbol on it. (Picture up top) The symbol gave me the weirdest sense of déjà vu.

I read the note. This is what it said:

Greeting Friends,

I have been sent in yet another mission. Some of  you will be wondering, "Another?" And some not. That's beside the point. The reason I wrote this letter to you is that I need your help. The Society Against Evil has sent me on a mission to got back to The Town Of Everlock. For the devil himself took some of  my sadly dead friends from Heaven and trapped them in Everlock! My  mission is to travel to Everlock and banish the devil back to Hell. I need your help. The symbol on the paper in the symbol for The Society Against Evil. The question is, are you willing to? If yes, there is the route from your specific house to Everlock. Some of you won't need it. Please help me.

Sincerely,

Joey Graceffa

I folded the paper. That's why the symbol looked so familiar! It is the symbol for the Society Against Evil! I can't help him. I don't want to miss Oliver's birthday. I might die and never see my family again. I can't.

I walked back to the table and finished my breakfast.

"What was the knock about?" Stephanie asked.

"Just the mailman." I replied.

"Alright." She spoke.

I put my dishes away and rushed upstairs to my bedroom. I went to my closet and pulled out a leather jacket, a dress shirt, a yellow tie, green pants, white socks, and dress shoes.

First I changed my socks. I slid the pants onto my legs. Next I pulled the white dress shirt over my head and buttoned the top set of buttons. Then I wrapped the yellow tie around me neck and placed the loop under the collar of my shirt. Then I pulled my arms through the sleeves of the leather jacket. I then got out a belt and buckled it around my waist. I placed yellow sun glasses over my eyes. Then I slid on my dress shoes. I picked up something yellow and black and held it in my hand. I brushed my hair and headed downstairs. Stephanie stopped me  right before I could reach the door. 

"Where do you think you're going?" Stephanie asked me.

"On an over night adventure." I replied. I then placed the gold and black badge onto my belt and rushed out of the door. I got into my car. Then I buckled my seat belt and pushed the pedal. Now, I'm headed to my possible death. The Town Of Everlock.
