CHAPTER 1: How it Began

One day, a person named “Melvin” woke up on a nice Sunday morning. He made himself breakfast and a nice cup of coffee. “I wonder what’s missing...” Melvin thought to himself. “Oh, right!” he exclaimed. “Hey Rover, fetch me the Morning Paper!” Melvin shouted. His dog, Rover, jumped out of his bed to get the paper. “Good Boy!” Melvin said as he took a sip of his coffee. “Alright, what's new?” Melvin mumbled to himself. 

He saw an advertisement on the paper. He was shocked to find out that you could get a pie cannon on your arm for $20 at the N. E. R. D  Lab. “IN THIS ECONOMY?” he shouted. Melvin got into his car and drove almost 5 hours from his house to the N. E. R. D.  Lab Headquarters in Duckwing Falls, Massachusetts. When he got to the N. E. R. D.  Lab Headquarters, he was greeted by Dr. G Nerd, the founder of N. E. R. D Labs. “Welcome to HQ. And by HQ, I mean- “I Know what it means.” Melvin stopped Dr. G Nerd mid sentence. “Well, did you book a reservation for the appointment?” Nerd asked. “Oh no!” Shouted Melvin. 

He then drove almost 5 hours back to his house to book the appointment.  After what it had seemed like forever, Melvin went back to the N. E. R. D. Lab to get a pie cannon stuck to his arm for the rest of his life. After arriving at the Headquarters, Melvin sat in the waiting room playing some games on his phone. “Rats, I was almost at level 10 in this game!” Melvin shouted. “It’s time for your appointment!” Dr. G Nerd says as he comes into the waiting room. When they enter the Operation Room, Melvin says, “Are you sure this is safe?” Melvin asks in a concerned tone. “Nope!” Dr. G Nerd said. “Not at all!” he continued. A few minutes later, the surgery began.

The operation was successful and Melvin went home. However, the story doesn’t end there. As Melvin was driving back home, he needed gas for his car, so he stopped by a gas station to get some gas. He thought, “hey, while I'm getting gas I should get something.” Melvin walks into the store and gets his favorite candy. “N&N” and some Soda to wash it down. But, as soon as he was leaving the store, a burglar named “Mark” came in and stole a Chocolate Bar. Luckily, before Mark could escape, Melvin used his Pie Cannon to slow down the thief. And then, He immediately pulled out his phone and Called 911. Mark was then arrested. He then became a national hero, everybody in the country was talking about his heroic acts! He quickly earned the nickname “Pie Guy.”

And that is how Pie Guy was born! But that wasn’t the end of Melvin’s heroics. He stopped bank robberies, after bank robberies, after bank robberies across the United States. He even started his own business where he would solve crimes and people could also report them. However, this next crime wasn’t going to be solved easily, in fact, Melvin needed some help!

CHAPTER 2: The Big Plan.

In a prison in New Jersey, 5 prisoners were planning to escape and of those 5 prisoners was, you guessed it, Mark the Burglar. “Alright, before we start this meeting, I just have one question for you.” Mark said. “Do you know who Pie Guy is?” Mark continued. “Wasn’t he the guy who arrested us?” asked another prisoner. “Bingo!” Mark replied. “I have a plan to end Pie Guy’s heroic acts for good!” Mark shouted. “Well what are we going to do?” asked another prisoner. “Well, Benedict,” Mark said, “ Here is what we’re going to do.” Mark continued

“First, we’re going to fool the prison guards by pretending we’re asleep during night check, second, we are going to use this key I found the other day, third, we are going to escape by making sure the cameras don’t see us, and then, once we have left this prison, we can go over to my secret underground base.” Mark explained. “Night Check!” shouted the Prison Guards. “Quick! Get to your beds so we don’t get caught!” A few minutes later, Night check was over.

“Phew! That was close.” “Anyways, time to do step 2 of my plan. “Psst, hey guys, we passed the night check!” Mark whispered. “We can continue our plan!” Mark whispered again. All 5 prisoners managed to escape prison and sneak into Mark’s Secret Base 

“Now what?” Said another prisoner. “Well Arnold, we are going to build a giant robot to not only defeat Pie Guy, but to take over the country.” “Why?” said another Prisoner. “Because it’s cool, Mike.” Mark replied. “But you’ll have to make laws for all your citizens.” Mike replied back “SILENCE!” Mark shouted “Let’s start working on the robot.” He continued. As they worked on the robot, Melvin was solving his biggest case yet.

CHAPTER 3: The Mystery Robber 

Melvin was at his desk relaxing until a person named “Mr. Banks” ran into his Office. “Pardon me, but I need to report a local bank robbery.” Mr. Banks said. “What happened?” Melvin said calmly. “Well, I was getting ready to close my bank, but then this really strange person ran into my bank, broke into the vault, and stole all of the money from my bank!” “What did he look like sir?” Melvin asked. “I couldn’t see his face because it was covered up by a mask.” Mr. Banks replied. 

“Well can you take me to the crime scene?” Melvin asked. “Sure!” Mr. Banks said. Melvin walked out of the building with Mr. Banks. After a few minutes of walking, they found the crime scene. “Hey, look! There’s my bank that got robbed!” Mr. Banks exclaimed. “Maybe we can find some clues here!” They walk into the building and immediately find a clue. “Aha!” Melvin exclaimed “a clue!” he continued. “What is it?” Mr. Banks said. “Look very closely at the ground, footprints! They look way too big to be ours, so it must be the robber’s footprints.” Melvin explained.

“Let’s look for more clues.” Melvin said.

 As they went to the vault, they found weird pieces of paper. Once they found every weird piece of paper in the vault, they both realized it was a puzzle. They put the puzzle together piece by piece. When they finished the puzzle, the paper said to go to the Rockcan Farm. “Rockcan Farm? Wasn’t it abandoned in 1991?” Melvin was confused. “Well, I do want to solve this case.” Melvin said. “So, I guess we’re going to the Rockcan Farm!” Melvin exclaimed. Both Melvin and Mr. Banks went to the nearest taxi stop which was thankfully not too far away. When they got into the taxi, the driver said “So where do you want to go?” “The nearest taxi stop to Rockcan Farm.” Melvin said. 

“Rockcan Farm? Hasn't that place been abandoned since 1991?” he asked. “We’re investigating a crime scene.” Melvin explained to him. “Oh, well okay.” The Driver replied. When they got there, they walked to the Farm. When they got there, They pressed a strange button that said “Press to open the door.” Turns out that it didn’t open the door, but led them to a strange hallway, and at the end was a weird door. Upon opening the door, they found Mark’ Secret Base!

“WHAT IS THIS PLACE!” shouted Melvin. “AND WHO ARE YOU GUYS?” Mr. Banks shouted. “Well, to start off, My name is Mark, that person is Arnold, That guy is Benedict, and that last guy is Mike.” Mark explained. “Hey, Mike kind of looks like the robber who robbed my bank!”

“Well it doesn't matter because I'm calling the police to arrest you in the name of the law!” Melvin shouted. “Not if I take your phone!” Mark shouted. “Hey! Give me back my phone!” Melvin shouted. “Oh look! A wall telephone! I can easily dial 911. A few minutes later, the police come to the Rockcan Farm. “STOP IN THE NAME OF THE LAW CRIMINALS!” A Police officer said. Melvin and Mr. Banks quickly left the crime scene and went home.
