The Missing Hat (Part 1)

***The Missing Hat*** is the second episode of an unknown season in PJ Masks.

### Synopsis

It was another day at school and the class just finished recess. Everyone walked back into the classroom, while the teacher made a special announcement. “Class, next week we’re going to have a scarecrow contest at this year’s fall festival.” he said. “The class will be split into teams. The team that makes the best scarecrow gets a trophy.” Everyone cheered as the teacher dismissed class. The PJ Masks had so many good plans for their scarecrow. Greg suggested that they should start on it right away and the others agreed.

At Greg’s house in the garage, they found old bags, straw, old clothes, a long stick, and a hat. They put it all together, even the hat on its head, and stared at it in astonishment… until it plopped on the ground. Then they stared at it in disappointment. “Oops, we forgot the safety pins.” Connor said as Greg replied, “I’ll go inside and get them. While we’re inside we could get a drink, too. All of this scarecrow making is making me thirsty.” The others agreed and went with him inside. Little did they know, someone squiggly was up to no good as a tentacle swiftly took the hat and was gone in the blink of an eye. The PJ Masks got back shortly after and realized the hat was missing. “Oh no! What’s a scarecrow without a hat?” Greg asked jokingly as Amaya replied, “I don’t know, but we’re not gonna have one after tonight. PJ Masks we’re on our way,” “Into the night to save the day!” they all continued as the transformation sequence took place.

At HQ, PJ Robot found the hat on the PJ Picture Player. It was sitting in front of the Mystery Mountain portal. “Thanks, PJ Robot. To the PJ Rovers!” Catboy cried as the cat flap opened with three heroes on rovers dashing out and heading towards the portal.

When they arrived, Owlette picked up the hat and said “There. Easiest mission yet. Now let’s go finish that scarecro-“ Owlette got cut off by rustling in the bushes. Catboy suggested they split up to see what the noise was. They went west, north, and east. Owlette took north, but paused and put on the hat for fun. She started to run but got sucked into it! With a thud, she landed in an area with a lot of corn. She realized she was trapped in a corn maze! “Where am I?! Help! Let me out!” she yelled as Octobella, transforming out of her camouflage, greeted the former in a taunting voice. “Welcome to my octo-corn-maze! Isn’t it great? After the rest of your friends are trapped here, I’ll steal that trophy to put in my lair. Muah-ha-ha-ha!” Owlette snapped, “That’s never gonna happen, Octobella. The PJ Masks will stop you!” “Oh, I like your confidence,” Octobella replied. “But how are you going to stop me when you can’t get out of here, hmm? Ta-ta!”

Catboy and Gekko could never find who was making the sound, so they gave up and made it back to the portal entrance. Too bad it was only Percival making a distraction. They noticed Owlette wasn’t back yet and waited about ten minutes, until they felt something was wrong. “She should’ve been back by now. I hope she’s okay.” says Greg. “She was right here with the hat last time I remember.” Catboy said as he put on the hat. Suddenly, to their surprise, Catboy got sucked in the had as well! “Catboy?! Where’d you go?!” Gekko panicked as he looked inside the hat. “Ink? Wait a minute… this is Octobella’s teleporting ink. My friends are in trouble! I’ve got to go save them.” He took a deep breath and put the hat on. He, too, teleported into the maze. “Catboy? Owlette? You here?” His yelling caught the ear of Catboy, who replied back. “I’m here!” “Catboy! Where are you?” yelled the former as the latter once again replied “I don’t know. The corn is too thick to see through. I can’t see anything.” “Am I in a corn maze?” Gekko thought out loud. Then he yelled, “Catboy, keep calling. I can get to you by following your voice.” “Great plan, Gekko!” Catboy yelled. “I’m over here! Now I’m here! Am I closer to you now?” “Yeah! Getting even closer!” Gekko replied as he walked backwards and bumped right into Catboy. “Yay! I found you!” Gekko cried giving Catboy a hug. “Now it’s time to find Owlet-hey! Look up there!” It was Owlette flying towards the boys saying, “I forgot I could fly over all of this. Guess what the maze looks like from up there?” Catboy replied, “Octobella, no doubt?” “You guessed it.” the former replied. Gekko asked the team, “Well, at least we found each other. But, we’re still trapped. What do we do?”
