Prologue

The commercial kept showing up on television several times a day and every day of the week. They kept telling us there was going to be a reality show with a lot of “pop” in it, and it was going to be 12 competing girls and they were still searching for members for the upcoming show in a couple of months. I could hear my sister call from the kitchen, but I always got curious about this show that they are going to air in a couple of months is all about, it didn’t even have a name yet! I kept listening to the commercial “One girl will be popped out of the show every episode!

As the evening winded down I went into the kitchen to pour me a nice cold drink of water. I noticed the refrigerator was half way open and water was leaking from it. I knew it could be no one else but Cindi. Cindi had a habit of leaving the refrigerator half way open, causing things to go bad, but never felt she was wrong. The last time she done this, I was out of town, and when I came back the milk and cheese had spoiled. There was $7 gone down the drain, of my money might I add. She didn't think it was a big deal and offered to buy me some more, but the principle is what mattered.

"And the Nobel Prize for achievements in the world of Science goes to… Dr. Franz Josef for his research in the field of etymology."

"Thank you. Thank you! You like me! You really like me!" Dr. Josef said as the crowd chanted his name. However that chant, immediately changed to that of his android assistant EFX. He awoke with a start to see EFX standing over him.

"What is it you bag o' bolts? Couldn't you see that I was dreaming?" He hollered.
