Chapter 3 - Death at Noon

"What?!? that's impossible!" Edd said in a loud voice.

"Look," Jeff said.

"Wow, you're right," said Edd. "But the bottom of the words say 'The Movie'"

"Okay then, let's go to my house and look on the computer." Jeff said,

"What do you mean?" Edd responded.

"Let's see if it is a movie!" Jeff and Edd rush home. Jeff searches '3 hours to Domination'. Jeff scans the computer. "Aha!" Jeff says. Jeff clicks on a link that says '3 hours to Domination - The Movie'. "It says here that it's about a person who thinks the world is going to end, so he tries to blow it up."

"Phft," Edd starts laughing.

"Jeff, letter for you," Jeff's mother came down into the basement. Jeff grabs the letter and opens it. Jeff's mother walks away.

"What does it say?"

"It says, 'Death at noon. RUN!'"

"Let me see," Edd grabs the letter.

"Just a prank maybe?"

"Check the return address." Edd said. Jeff flips the letter over.

"Nope, doesn't say."

"Creepy, that's all I have to say!" Edd answered. "It's a prank."

"Check the return address."

Jeff flips the letter over. "Nope, it doesn't say."

"Creepy, that's all I have to say." Edd answered. "It's a prank."

"But I am going to DIE at noon!" Then they heard a knock on the door. Jeff runs upstairs and opens the door. Standing there was an UPS man dressed in pink.
