The blank screen went vibrant with colour as the words 'Anerbriva Motions' appeared along with dramatic music. The first advertisement came on, and so did several sighs and moans, this was the people's least favourite advertisement. A brunette teenage girl came onto the screen as she happily skipped along with her pink surfboard and flimsy pink bikini "Ya know Jenny! I'm gonna be really brave and try swimming in the ocean! ok Bye then! see you soon!" Said the girl wagging her pigtails as she put away the pink phone she was talking into. 'NOT BRAVE' was soon shown above the girl's skinny shape. 'FOOLISH' soon replaced it. A man's voice took over the commercial "Do not ever try to swim, cross or escape through the sea, Death will follow" He said in his bored teacher like tone. The same girl was shown with a boy who had a similar look on his face. "Not in pairs and definitely not alone" said the man. I braced myself 1...2...3.....4... "Otherwise this will happen" He continued. A picture was shown, It was of the girl, whose face had been half gnawed off, her arms and legs had all been ripped off and her eyes had dissolved out of her sockets. Her expression was still happy but the whole theatre was silent. "Our once beautiful sea has become much too polluted and has developed its own acid to ward of humans, The wondrous creatures that once lived in it have learnt to eat this acid, This acid has caused mutations and deformations in these once harmless fishies minds and bodies, These animals are now our predators, they have the ability to chase us into the murks of their well trod homes and feed off us for decades, So beware my warning, fair people of Anerbriva, and enjoy the rest of your night" The advertisement stopped to show pictures of things once called goldfish now turned into giant, muscularly ripped, creatures. I closed my eyes and turned my stopwatch to 3 minutes exactly. I tried to nap but several young children kept screaming and crying as the pictures kept coming. When I opened my eyes, the screen showed a beautiful 54 year old lady sitting on a high wooden stool. "Greetings my people, it has been nearly three months since my reality show has had a showing, please sit and enjoy" She said a honey sweet tone. The Makeup she was wearing was obvious but it had done nothing to diminish her beauty, I could imagine if you went up to her and sniffed her she would smell like baby powder. As she got off her stool you could tell she was quite small and petite. Her tall 6 inch red stilettos clacked on the floor as she walked casually without stumbling in the heels, showing 30 years of practice. "My wonderful son has decided to bake me some tasty biscuits!" She said fondness in her voice. The camera followed her around a corner. A tall man with longish, golden, wavy hair was shown, He had a handsome face, and whenever people looked at him they said he looked like his late father, but in reality if you knew him well, you knew he looked more like his mother. "Hey Mom! would you like some Almond finger biscuits? they're fresh out of the oven!" He called in a deep low voice. He pulled up an adorable blonde 3 year old boy who then said "Yeah Granny! they taste rockin!" then licked his lips. "Mhmm, yes my boys! Finally achieved cooking!" Said The lady in the red heels taking the tiniest bite possible. They all laughed in delight making light giggly sounds. Then they all trotted to the living room, where a brunette lady wearing a crepe viscose no sleeved summer dress in ivory was pinning up flowery decorations. "Mom in law! It's a disaster! The catering team hasn't arrived in time for Roc's 4th Birthday celebration! Omg it's only like two hours to go! how can we cater for 3000 guests!" The lady said shock taking over her perfect face. "Wow, you can't get anything done, not even with Apple and Blossom helping you" Remarked the red high heeled lady sarcastically, gesturing to the five year old twins with adorable blonde pigtails in matching pink, chiffon birthday gowns. "Well it doesn't help that Agria won't come down from her bedroom" Said the pretty daughter in law. "Poor dearie it must be hard being the oldest" said the red high heeled lady looking sympathetic. The son spoke up "how can we solve our problems?", And the words 'Tune in next month' appeared. Everyone got up, refreshed from the showing. I grabbed Clarissa and we vanished down a secret exit, our shoes echoing loudly. We ended up in a posh room with red couches and people walking around serving drinks. I grabbed a Martini while Clarissa took a Manhattan, the giant screen in front of me turned on, and there was the pretty daughter in law "Hey Fam!" She yelled. "Arianna - Rose! My sweet firstborn! how are you? Is Kyle OK? how are the kids? is Agria really unhappy? she was such a sweet child when you guys came for a visit last year!" Blabbered on my mother tears pouring out of the corners of her eyes. Clarissa rolled her eyes, "Oh my sweet dear mother, Mage! everyone is OK even Caramel, Agria's fine she just had to play that roll! and were expecting another child in the month after next's episode!" Said Arianna wiping fake tears out of her eyes. "Umm one my mother's name is Magdalene and you don't actually care do you?" Sneered Clarissa "I mean you've even forgotten her name! who calls their kids names like Agria That's a potato!". "I know your upset that you haven't seen me in nearly 3 years because you've been at boarding school, but that's not the way to act, honey, I'm still your sister" Said Arianna in the sort of a voice adults use when scolding a child. I personally didn't think much of my elder sister, She was a really spoilt 14 year old and when she became pregnant with her 16yr old boyfriend Kyle's child, then eloped with him back to Elisquena, his country, no one was actually surprised. The public loved her though, they thought she was the prettiest person alive, they had a hard time adjusting to me being their new queen. Elisquena's 'royalty' was their actors and actresses aka the most famous family of all time, the 'Blemouks' a 9th generation family of pop stars and movie stars. They had a reality television show called 'Head of the Blemouks' which featured my sister. She always loved watching that show on the TV especially giggling with her friends about how cute Kyle was, She really wanted to be an actress but mother and father said no, she had to become a proper queen, so she did whatever she could to do what she wanted. "Don't speak like that with your sister!!" Growled Mother sneering back at Clarissa. Clarissa looked taken aback but Arianna just looked satisfied like a little kid who just told on their sibling. "Umm Magdalene dear... we have stuff to do... like now" Said my father pulling my mother away. "Ari, honey! you should give life advice to your siblings, so they turn out just like you!" She called one last time as she and my father exited the room. "So you little Misfits wanna know something?" Said Arianna not affectionately. "What?" Asked my younger brother greedily. "Don't listen to Maggie and big D otherwise you will all end up losers with no life but the castle, I love my new life, heaps of partying and merrymaking and I would never trade any of it for anything" She replied. She cut of the conversation by hanging up on us. "Well that was disappointing" grumbled my brother sulking off. Things are always disappointing when you involve Arianna Rose I thought. Clarissa linked her arm through mine and we stormed off.
