And again a new story!
Beware, this is mostly humor with a lot of fluffy romance and (just because it is reality TV) Drama Drama Drama!
It is based on the AUSTRALIAN Version of the TV Programm "Married at first sight" that I have been watching (lately), but set in the US although I won't really mention it. I won't deny that what happened last season gave me some plot ideas, but of course it is modified for my story.
Please read and review, I'd love to know what you think!

Married at first sight, Season 1, Behind the Scenes Part 1
"What? He had an accident? You are kidding me, this is not possible!", the man shouted into his phone. He looked agitated, flushed cheeks, sweating lightly. Alexander Pierce was not a man that was well known for patience. He was a businessman, what counted for him were profit and audience ratings. Loosing an expert for the next season of "Married at first sight" was a catastrophe, everything was already set up, the participants already selected. His channel needed the show so he had to come up with a solution. Or, even better, find someone who would come up with a solution. Somebody quick and efficient. He ended the call and called somebody else right away. The phone rang a few times until the one picked up. "Coulson speaking, how can I help?", another man answered politely. "Coulson, we have a problem. Professor Xavier had an accident and will be unavailable for quite some time. We can't postpone "Married at first sight" so we need somebody new." There was a short silence on the other end of the line. "How bad is the accident?", Coulson wanted to know. "I don't know and I don't care!", Pierce replied harshly, "but get me a new expert until tomorrow!" He hung up without saying more.
Pierce was a fricking bastard, Phil Coulson had known that from the first time he met him. But until now, he had not known how mean the man could be. For goodness sake, the professor had had an accident! Additionally, he himself was the director, not a casting agent, so finding a replacement was definitely not his job! On the other hand, arguing with Pierce was pointless, he was quite a influential producer that one didn't want to piss off. There was one man he would propose as an expert but that might make things even more difficult. Still, he had to try. But he would do things differently than Pierce. He pressed the fast dial on his phone, ordering the person on the other side of the line to come into his office as quickly as possible. Not ten minutes later, he heard a knock on his door. "Come in!", he shouted, not bothering to look up from his computer. He only raised his eyes when she was finally standing in front of him, that petite Asian woman, so often underestimated.
"May, I'm in Trouble, that means we are in trouble", he stated matter of factly, "Professor Xavier can't participate as an expert. As you know, it is the first season and everything has to go smoothely, Pierce already called me and now - " "Now you want to call Andrew and are wondering whether I can handle it", she interrupted him, looking slightly grimm. She knew him too well, his right hand, sometimes it was nearly creepy. But now, he shook his head. "I know you can handle it. But I want you to be okay with it. I want us to be okay." He definitely valued her friendship more than finding a quick solution. May flipped her hair over her shoulder. "Phil, I will be fine. Call Andrew. He will try to help you." Again, her boss shook his head. "No Melinda, you call him please. He will rather listen to you than to me, believe me."
His associate sighed. "Alright Coulson, if I have to. But you owe me!", she stated before swiftly making her getaway. He looked after her, wondering again how he had managed to get this fabolous PA.
When she was suddenly turning up in front of his practice, Andrew Garner looked startled. "Of all the people in the world, you weren't the one I was expecting to see!", he greeted her friendly. "Well, neither was I", she admitted, "but I need your help. Urgently." "Alright, what can I do?", he came straight to the point. His ex-wife chewed on her bottom lip. "Have you heard of 'Married at first sight'?", she asked hesistantly.
And that was the first Sneak-Peak into the Story. Any thoughts?
Up next: Will Andrew join the crew of MAFS?
