// Stanley contacted Mr. Walter, asking if he could come with him to Chipman Middle for the day. The day began at Mr. Walter's apartment with the two of them getting ready for work. //

//After coming out of their rooms, it was apparent there would already be a problem.//

 //"Stanley," Mr. Walter said, "we can't wear the same outfit! How will anyone be able tell us apart!" Stanley and Mr. Walter discussed who would have to change.//

 //As Stanley refused to budge from his position, Mr. Walter hung his head in defeat and went to go change his clothes. "Darn you and your smug little smile, Stanley," he muttered under his breath.//

 //After that minor mishap, though, Mr. Walter changed, all was good, and both Stanley and Mr. Walter were ready to start the day!//

// First Period Math was going great. Mrs. Spencer and Mr. Walter were on a roll, and Stanley was really getting into it! He asked Mr. Walter if he could teach a part of the lesson,and Mr. Walter happily gave him the opportunity he so desired. "Go for it, Stanley! I know you'll do great!" Mr. Walter told him, //

//It was Stanley's time to shine. He started going into the Mathematical Reflections, but then there was a problem... // // z //

zzzzzz



//The students apparently couldn't hear Flat Stanley like Mr. Walter could. They were all confused.//

Mrs. Spencer was also slightly confused, as well as a little worried about Mr. Walter. "Maybe you should go take lunch now, Mr. Walter," she suggested.

 //Lunch was cheesesteaks! Mr. Walter and Stanley were both thrilled! //

//After lunch, it was time for Mr. Walter and Stanley to head to the library (where Mr. Walter's office is) to complete their other work for the day. //



//They ran into Mrs. Adams, the librarian, outside Mr. Walter's office.

"Who's your friend?" she asked. "Why, this is Stanley!" Mr. Walter replied. "Stanley, it's a pleasure to meet you, and I am well, thank you," she told the small paper-thin man.

"Hah! Someone else can hear him, too!" Mr. Walter said happily, Mrs. Adams looked at Mr. Walter and raised a brow. "What?" "Nothing! Nevermind!" Mr. Walter kindly took Stanley back and headed into his office. //

//For the rest of the day, Stanley was glued to the computer screen, taking care of various tasks for Mr. Walter while he spent time in the classrooms around the school. //
