"What was that!?" cried Millie. They tiptoed into the kitchen and saw pots and pans on the floor. "Let's get out of here!" 

They went back to the play room. "As I was saying, frankly, my dear, Earth Day is..." The house began to shake. Plates fell. "It's him Millie!"

"Who?!" The house stopped shaking. "WHAT WAS THAT!?" shouted Millie.

"That was the Earth Day villain. He attacks whoever explains Earth Day. He wants to get me."

Millie thought, I could defeat him for Jordan! I'll set a trap and hope it works!

"Good night Millie"

"Good night!"

In the middle of the night a crash was heard. It worked, thought Millie. She ran to the kitchen. There was a dark figure in her trap. "Let's see who you are!" She lifted the mask and screamed. It was Jordan. "Why did you do this Jordan?"

"I needed to stop Earth Day..."

Millie didn't wait for him to finish. She dragged him to the police station.

"Thank you, we've been looking for him!" said the policeman.

"You're welcome!" mumbled Millie. She trudged home and went to sleep.
