Chapter 1:
How It Happened
"OK, so, correct me if I'm wrong, but… This is like, a major crisis, right?"
"ARE YOU KIDDING??? CRISIS? MORE LIKE, NATIONAL, PUBLIC, EMBARRASSMENT, DISASTER, THING!"
"Helpful…"
Okay, so by now you are wondering 'what???' Well let me explain it to you. Let's take you back a month or so, December 1st, 2007.
It was a sunny, but cold, day, in Michigan, and I was hanging out with my sister, Bridget. She was so incredibly determined to win this contest, to sing in front of the entire city. (Literally, it would be on T.V. and everything!) She bribed the judges, she sweet talked the organizers, and she even tried to rig it. But nothing worked. In the end, she had to completely compete on pure luck.
Now you're thinking 'well, duh!' But, it isn't that simple. See, with Bridget, things that she wants, but can't have, she MUST get.
So, she told Mom and Dad that she was totally positive she wouldn't win, and began to pout. Mom and Dad hate seeing her upset, so they went to talk to the judges, who wouldn't bend the rules. Bridget came to me, in disbelief, and almost cried. Then, (with me not really caring), I told her to have confidence and she probably would win. After all, she is the best singer I know. Apparently, my words worked quite well, which is good, because I wasn't even paying attention to what I was saying, (I know, what a shameful confession, huh?)
So then began day 4 of the competition…
Bridget got in front of the judges, and sang her heart out. The judges looked mildly impressed, and wrote down some things, and dismissed Bridget. She walked away looking kind of depressed…
