“Well…”

            “What?” asks Kaitlyn. “Good or bad?”

            “You know that sweepstakes we entered last month,” she started, “that’d get us 1 million dollars and a trip to Mexico?”

            “What happened?” Xander asks.

            “And how only one family, four people, would win, out of millions and millions…”

            “What about it?” Garrett asks.

            “We won.”

            The Miller family was much larger than the Bergs, with four children, rather than only two. They had many connections with the Bergs, though.

            The father is Colby Oliver Miller. He’s in his early forties, is somewhat skinny, with a black buzz cut and piercing blue eyes. He wears many 3-piece suits, mostly because he’s a lawyer, with his brother Alberto, at Miller & Miller Law. He himself has no connections to the Bergs, though.

            The mother, Leilani, is somewhat older than her husband, with short black hair, much like his, and brown eyes and a very smooth face. She never has really been a huge fan of makeup, but wears some when appropriate.  She doesn’t wear much jewelry besides her wedding ring, but she does have three ear piercings. She’s a small time fashion designer, and used to work with the Berg’s mother, Larissa.

            Malachi, the youngest son, is twelve, and somewhat short and scrawny. He has spiked hair, black just like everyone else in the family. He wears dark colors, baggy sweats usually, and never really socializes. His only friend is Garrett. He’s always been very secluded, and gets in many fights. And by fights, yes I mean fist-fights, not petty arguments.

            The next oldest son is Leo Fernando Miller. He’s fourteen, and also dark like his younger brother. In fact, he and his brother are pretty similar all-around, looks and personality. He has brown eyes, and longish black hair, in a bed head cut. He has absolutely no friends, and the only times he socializes is when he plays Drum Hero with Malachi and Garrett, but only does it because of the game, not because of the people. He actually hates the people. He’s dating Garrett’s sister, Kaitlyn, which can cause some uncomfortable moments between them. He has some anger issues, but always refuses therapy and classes.

            The second oldest is Kathleen, who is sixteen, tall, skinny, with blue eyes and long midnight black hair. She’s a typical vain teenage girl, always worried about her appearance, worried about who likes who, and all that stuff. She’s the normal “popular” girl. Garrett has a crush on her, and she’s still pretending not to know.

            The oldest, a twenty-one-year-old, tall, muscular, well-put-together, brown eyed, black military cut hair, average father-clone, is Gerald Reese Miller. He’s in college right now, studying to be a lawyer. He never really had much of a connection with the Bergs, but is one of the only ones to notice how creepy the connections are. It’s as if, together, they’re the Biller family, or Merg family. He has moved out on his own.

            Just like every day, Leilani is on the computer, while everyone else does their thing, and she opens up an interesting email, the subject box saying “Wahoo!” She opens it, and it says the Bergs have won a trip to Mexico and a million dollars, as she’s walking to the front room to tell everyone, there is Gerald at the door.

            “Guys, I have some news.”

*drum roll*

…after so much anticipation…

*more drum roll*

…it was close but…

*lots of drum rolling*

…THE BERG FAMILY WINS A TRIP TO MEXICO AND 1 MILLION DOLLARS!

How exciting. You can check out the next chapter tomorrow morning and also the new page, on plots!

Until tomorrow!

Remember, just call 1-866…no wait, sorry, wrong thing.

Just remember to vote. don’t assume your favorite is safe, even if you can see the amount of votes for each outcome.

Remember these are 866 numbers, not 800 numbers. WEEE!

I changed it so you have to click on a link on the side to get to the posts so I have a better idea of which posts are most popular. That way, you can tell which chapters are coolest. YAY! And the to do list page is up, yes.

And now, I have discovered the feature to make a post appear whenever you want, so now the posts will appear at a minute past midnight on Wednesday morning.

And make sure to check the to do list for the special surprise!

In a little while I post some other stuff, like a map of the town the story takes place in, which, yes, will be voted on, and some character guides and stuff. Here’s a list of the updates/improvements I want to make, which are ordered by priority, the one that’ll happen soonest at the top, and the least important and farthest away at the bottom.

Character Guide

Who Likes Who

Plot Guide

Map

At some point, I’ll make a page just for the to-do list, but I’ll have to work on that, so it’ll be a day or two.

I’m debating some ideas in my head right now, on something i should do, I think I should put a poll up on it on the to-do list page, you’ll see it in a little bit. Just so you know, the to-do list will be more complete when the page is up.

            Kaitlyn Fernanda Berg was a fifteen-year-old girl who always knew what to say. Well, what to say to be a sassy fifteen-year-old you-know-what. Well, anyway, she was a tenth grade high school student at Calvin Coolidge High. She had long red hair, piercing blue eyes, and thin, red, square glasses.

            Xander Donald Berg was the father of the family, a thirty-four year old man, with brown eyes, and a buzz cut of his short brown hair. He had similar glasses to his daughter, but silver, and not as thin. His skin was slightly darker than that of the rest of the family. He runs his own business, a home real estate business called Burg Real Estate.

            Larissa Kyleigh Berg was the mother of the family, a year older than her husband, and works at an office, as a bookkeeper. Though she loves fancy blouses and skirts, she has never been on to fuss about her appearance. She’s a permed red-head, who never wears any makeup, but makes up for it with her sparkling blue eyes.

            The youngest is Garrett Berg, an adopted child. He has black eyes; black hair in a boy’s cut, in eighth grade at Andrew Johnson Middle School. He’s always been a little quiet, unless he’s bugging his sister. He’s pretty much your average twelve-year-old, plays video games, skateboards to and from school, and all that stuff.

            Today is Saturday, and the house is running as usual: Garrett insists on wearing his pajamas, Kaitlyn is yelling at her brother, Larissa is trying to calm the crowd, and Xander is trying to work through all this.

            “I know I should have just rented the office building,” Xander mumbles to himself as he types away at the computer.

            Larissa shakes her head and gets the mail, but as she opens one of the letters, she looks surprised.

            Kaitlyn yells, and storms into her room, Xander finally gives up and starts to storm away from his desk, and Garrett is running to the couch to play “Drum Hero.” He looks over at Larissa.

            “What’s up, mom?” he asks.

            “It’s the letter…” she replied.

            “What about it?” Xander asks.

            “Get Kaitlyn in here,” she says.

            “Kaitlyn! Get your fat butt in here!” Garrett yells.

            “No!” she replies from her room.

            “Kaitlyn, just get in here!” Xander says. “You mother has something to show us.”

             When Kaitlyn walks in, Xander finally asks, “What’s the letter?”

            “Well…”

            Now, just go to the Voting page to get your voting instructions, and to see the standings of the current poll, as well as the options.

So if one week, I say that a boy wants to tell a girl she’s a jerk, and at the end of the chapter, when he’s just opening his mouth to speak, I say that he could…

Say he hates her

Say he loves her

Kiss her

Say nothing

Collapse…Literally.

And if you say, collapse…literally, then the next post will open with him opening his mouth, and collapsing. So it’s the story that you want it to be. I’ll start tomorrow, the first of October, with the first story post, and then you can begin voting…YAY!
