Chapter 1
"Lucille, it's your turn to do the dishes tonight," My foster mother, Caroline, tried to say over my tv playing. "Alright," I replied. I briefly turned it off and wandered to the kitchen. As always, the sink is piled high with messy dishes. I hate Wednesday's. I always look forward to Friday's when my only job is getting the mail.
I live in a foster home of 6, counting Caroline. I don't really pay attention much to the others because I'm always in my fantasy land. Sometimes they mock me for not listening half the time, but I know they love me for it. My favorite thing to think about is the tv show "Whose Line Is It Anyway." It always gives me a good laugh and I just can't stop watching it.
The youngest child here, Samantha, with just being 5 years old, likes to watch it with me sometimes, well when she's not asleep. She takes a lot of naps because she's always so tired throughout the days. I don't really remember anything from my parents, the only thing I remember was that they couldn't afford me and had to give me away. I was only a couple days old, so I was told by the doctors.
But this is a nice foster home and everyone does their part. Except the rebel kid, Alex, he's 18 and doesn't really do a lot to help out. He usually just sits around and watches us. I'd like to teach him a lesson one day. But he's older than me and I wouldn't want to mess with that logic. I finished my dishes that night and decided to head back into my room to watch more Whose Line. At the end of that episode, Drew Carey had a special announcement.
"We are holding a contest to decide who should join the show with us, a spot just opened up and we need to fill it ASAP, send in your funniest video and we'll be the judges of who had the best comedy skills!" My eyes went wide and I turned off the tv right away to head to the computer. I googled, "How to be funny,"
Not everyone here thinks I'm that funny, but maybe the cast members there will think I am, I hope. I got the video camera ready to record my little comedy video and pressed start. The footage was about 5 minutes long and wasn't sure if it was funny enough. But I crossed my fingers, sent it to where the instructions said to, and went to bed that night sweating all over myself.
When I woke up, a shower was the first place to go to. Once I was done, I turned on the tv and saw that there was a brand new Whose Line episode! I laughed all the way through because the humor was just too great. My favorite comedian is 100% Ryan Stiles. He's just so hilarious and always puts a smile on my face. When the ending came around, Drew Carey and the other 3 gathered around him.
"We'd like to thank you all for sending in your little comedy videos and I have to say, we laughed a lot, but unfortunately there can only 1 winner, and that winner is.." He stopped for dramatic effect. Like way too much dramatic effect because he was quite for a solid 30 seconds it felt like. "Lucille Jones!" He said happily. Tears came to eyes out of pure happiness. I couldn't believe that I won!!!
I rushed out to tell Caroline and all the others and they were really proud of me. "Huh, I didn't think you had it in you," Alex had to say. "I didn't think so either," I admitted. "When do you start?" Caroline asked. "Tomorrow!" I answered happily. I have a great feeling that will be the start of something incredibly interesting.
A/N I hope you all enjoyed this first chapter!! Please vote and tell me what you think so far!!
