It was a sunny day in Toadtown and it was late Summer. Andrea was picking up the post that morning and arrived at the postbox. She was loading the parcels in the wagon and then put the letters in the post sacs. She was smiling as she was putting in the letters when Zario raced past.

"Ugh," said Andrea.

Zario was rushing by fast down the sidewalks and was ready to end the post-run. Suddenly Tavi came out a street corner on his 3DS and Zario screamed!

"AHHHH," they both screamed.

Zario slammed his brakes and came to a stop and Tavi was relieved.

"Do you not know how to look," exclaimed Zario!

"Oh sorry but look what my mum pulled out the post this morning," said Tavi.

Zario grabbed the letter and opened it and his eyes were wide.

"You, well you and them on Breakfast," asked Zario??

"YES ISN'T IT COOL," shouted Tavi!

"Wait is that Andrea's name on it," said Zario annoyed.

He looked at the letter closely and then grumbled, he then gave back the letter.

"How come I can't be on the telly," asked Zario?

"You weren't on our group when we made that cool volcano. Anyway, I better go tell Max and Molly we're going to be on telly!" said Tavi happily.

She skipped away and Zario then smirked he wouldn't let Andrea be on the telly if he couldn't. He rushed off at the Post Depot, Andrea arrived and Zario was unloading the post. He offered to unload Andrea's post and she smiled and left home. Zario laughed and opened the post sacs looking for post from the castle!

He found the letter for Andrea and dropped it outside the bin and it fell into the machine. He snickered and ran off over the terraced houses at the Peaches and Toad Market, Andrea arrived. She opened the door and came in and her mum was in the shop.

"I'm going upstairs," said Andrea.

She ran upstairs and ran into her bedroom when the phone started ringing. She ran into the hallway and picked it up excited.

"Hello," said Andrea.

"Really?" she said.

Andrea screamed in excitement, Molly had told her she had a letter from the Princess herself to appear on her show. Andrea ran into the kitchen to see where her mum had left the post. She dug through the newspapers and letters but to no avail, she found no letter. Andrea was rather confused and upset and wondered where her letter could be.

At Molly and Max's house, she arrived to see the letter. Upstairs in the small bedroom Andrea looked at the letter and was quite upset she hadn't received one.

"I wonder where mine could be," said Andrea quite upset.

"Maybe it'll come in the post tomorrow," reassured Molly!

Max shook his head in agreement they would appear on the telly on Friday. She would certainly have her letter by Wednesday. The next day it was cloudy over Toadtown and showers were producing rain. Zario arrived at the post depot and was sorting through the mail when he saw another letter for Andrea.

Andrea was arriving when she saw him drop a few letters. Andrea gasped and Zario left and she arrived at the mail sorter. She looked where he had dropped the letter and grabbed it and saw it was for her. She then looked and decided if she saw any mail for Zario she would throw it away.

She found one and then threw it and suddenly her bin fell. She screamed and pressed a red button and the bin and stacks of letters and parcels got crushed.

"Uh oh," she said.

That afternoon, Toadette was at her home on her laptop waiting for her package. She had ordered it from Shroom and it was expected to come in today. The post toad arrived and letters came through the slot but no door knock for a parcel. Toadette found this fishy and picked up her phone she had to find where her package was.

"Hello mam good afternoon this is Shroom Customer Service," said the toadette cheerly.

"Hello this is Toadette I ordered a package through your company and it hasn't arrived even though it says here it went through the mail sorter," said Toadette in a stern tone.

"Call the Toadtown Post Depot they must know where it's at," said the toadette.

Toadette hung up and was quite confused at the Post Depot. The Postmaster was eating tea and crumpets when the phone rang. He picked up the phone and put down his crumpets.

"Yes this is the Royal Mail Toadtown Post Depot how may we assist?" he asked

"Postmaster I have not received my package after it is said it went through your sorter," said Toadette annoyed.

"That's odd let me go out to the sorter," said the postmaster.

He went outside to see the post wagons and moved them out of the way. He pushed the green button so the screen could load when a jam error message appeared. Toadette listened and the postmaster looked in the machine to see what was going on.

"Hm it says that your parcel went through but there seems to be a jam in the machine," said the postmaster.

He pushed the trash button usually for mail that has been deemed illegal or unfit. The button would bring out everything to reset it. Expecting to see letters the postmaster gasped as chunks of important letters and pieces of cardboard being chucked.

"What on earth," he said.

In his office, the postmaster was quite angry at Andrea and Zario.

"Now I know you both well and I know you both did it but never again throw away mail. No matter how much the other person bothers you sometimes other mail can be thrown out.." said the postmaster sternly

"Yes sir it won't happen again," they both said in unison.

Andrea and Zario gave a stinkeye to each other and the postmaster smiled.

"Well good then go on chaps it's a busy day today," said the postmaster.

Outside they gave each other's post and Zario and Andrea moved away. It was just another day in Toadtown once again!
