"Oh Princess Pink, your so pretty in that dress! Do you like mine? Oh yes, but should we go to the ball or the dance?" Suzuki covered her head with a pillow to block out the sound of her sister.
"Shut up." She mumbled. Of course her sister paid no notice and continued to explain to Princess Pink
that a ball was a much better choice and Prince Once Was a Frog would be there.
"Ami, I said shut up!" Suzuki shouted again. Finally everything turned to silence.
"MOM!"Ami's high pitched voice screamed. "SUZUKI TOLD ME TO SHUT UP!" A sleepy reprimand drifted up from from the stairs.
"See? I can play whatever I want. Can't I Princess pink? Yes you can and Suzuki can't say shut up to you." Ami continued to play her game while Suzuki seethed under the covers. After about three minutes she got up and went down stairs where she turned the TV on low and watched one of the five shows they had. Pouring herself a bowl of cereal she went to the couch to watch. The show was the morning news. On the screen was a lady with blond hair and too much blush. She smiled sweetly and started her report.
Booooring.
She wandered over to the computer, leaving the TV on, and plopped herself down onto the large, leather arm chair. The old thing choked to life at her touch and slowly, very slowly tried to open the web browser. Her email popped up, and she smiled. Naoki.
Hey there.
I heard your sister screaming and figured you were awake. So want to hang out later?
-Naoki
Suzuki smiled to her self, and went back to her email box. There was a new email, but it wasn't an address she recognized.
It had no subject.
Spam mail?
She opened it up

Suzuki stared at the email in blatant shock. 20,000,000 dollars? It must be a joke! But then if it was a joke then it wouldn't hurt to reply... Would it? But then she would look like an idiot falling for such a stupid prank. But...
Her mouse drifted up to the reply button. She hesitated for one second and the clicked. She wondered what in the world she was doing. Carefully, she typed in the numbers.
25565
She stared hard at the email wondering if this was really a good idea.
Come on whats the worst that could happen?
It could be some joke and then I could get majorly embarrassed.
Or it could be real and you would have a chance at winning 20,000,000 dollars. You know how much you need that money.
Yes but...
Just hit send already!
I don't know about this
Oh my god, your such a wimp.
FINE!
Before she realized what she was doing the mail was sent and she was staring at her hand in anger. Stupid hand. But now what. Was she supposed to wait for a week? What was supposed to happen.
A new email popped up in her inbox. She almost jumped out of her seat.
She held her breath.. It wasn't possible was it?
She clicked the email.
Dear Suzuki,
Thank you for entering! The first clue will be sent to you on,
5/15/2012
