Who Want's to be a Millionnaire
'daaaaaddddaaaaddddaaaaddddaaadddaaaaada daaaaaaaaaaa' sung Dan to the beggining of 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire'. He was sat in the audience with Trevor and Erik. Ashley was in the 10 chosen to be given the chance to win 1 million pounds. None of them knew why he had come on the show, he had plenty of money, but they were there to give him moral support. They gazed in awe and Chris Tarrant appeared from the smoke and began giving his usual speech, they woke up when he got to the so heres the question
'Put these letters in the order they appear in the alphabet starting with the first. A B C and D.Start Now!'
'Gosh' said Dan with sheer terror on his face 'thats a bit hard for a first question isnt it'
Ashley struggled with the buttons, they weren't as big as what he was used to handling, he quickly got out of that mind frame and got on with the question, feeling happy with his selection he gave the thumbs up to the guys in the audience.
'Ok stop' shouted Chris ' the correct answer was bla bla bla bla bla first of all A B C then D, the person in the quickest time was......Ashley Angel in 17 seconds! Ashley join me as we play for one million dollars'. The music started as Ashley got up out of his seat and made his way down to the chair.Erik joined him from the audience
He sat down with Erik on his knee and shook Chris's hand. What are you doing?' asked Chris a bit afraid.
'What? Erik my 'life friend' does everything with me, he is my supporter if you like'
'You ok baby? ' asked Erik
'I think so hunny pie' smiled Ashley back as he tickled him in a rather low area.
'Ok we can't waste time so Ashley, where are you from?'
'Er..im from Redding in CA' he shouted forgetting he had 7 microphones shoved in his face, he wasnt used to this many cameras outside the shower.
'Wow you've come a long way, it probably cost you 1 million for your flights and accomodation ' he laughed.
'Yeah.....it did actually' said a bemused Ashley.
'Right.......................well lets play who wants to be a millionaire!'
The lights faded as the first question came up. 'Ok for one hundred pounds which of these is not a day of the week? Monday, Thursday, Erikday or Saturday?'
'Oh lord, i knew the first one would be a hard one' said Ashley scratching his head. Can i phone a friend?'
'Er....sure' said Chris a bit puzzled that he wanted to use such a crucial lifeline so early in the game ' who would you like to call?'
'Jacob, hes my only friend boring enough to stay at home ' he laughed. Jacob looked slightly embarrased sat at home drinking hot chocolate from his his rosie and jim mug. Just because he didnt want to go...well actually he had put rollers in his hair that just looked so bad he couldnt set foot out of the house so he made up the excuse that he was making scones and would be his phone a friend, a lame excuse but they all bought it.
'Ok so lets call Jacob'
Erik squidged about on Ashleys knee a little casuing some of the audience to puke and others to think oh how sweet. The familiar ringing tone was heard then the other familiar sound of Jacobs husk.
'Hello?' he asked
'Hello Jacob? Its Chris Tarrant from who wants to be a millionaire , we have Ashley here and he needs your help.....really needs it. Ill hand you over'
'ok thanks christopher, great talkin to you.'
'Hey Jacobie dude, how are ya?' asked Ashley
'Hey Jakey' shouted Erik
'Yo Jake!' screamed Trevor and Dan from high up somewhere.
'Hi guys' said Jacob now even more embarrased.
'Ok and thats time up' said Chris cutting Jacob off.' So?'
'Ok that didnt help at all. Lets think um....Moday is a day because thats when i get my weekly supply of hair gel.....wednesday exists cos thats when the MTB guys stay and extra hour for my showers...Eriksday has to exist cos he's just so adorable arent you sweety.....so i'm going with Saturday'
'Is that your final asnwer?' asked Chris
'Yes, thats it Chris' he whinced and hugged Erik.
Dan and Trevor hugged in the audience.'Trevor...do you think sheep should be wooly?'
'What the hell you talkin bout man?'
'Nothin...i just wanted to play our own game'
'Dan you're lucky, if you shut up now i wont tell Jacob about this when we get home'
They both shut up and watched the game below.
'Ok Ashley....im sorry to tell you....thats the wrong answer, give him a big hand everyone'
'NO its not!' shouted Ashley getting very annoyed.
'Yes im sorry it is, no money for you but you do get this nice nokia 3210 from last year'
'Really! cool!' he exclaimed as he took the phone and left.
'Ok' said Chris rather glad that it was over' next contestant'
But the other 4 guys hopped on their private jet and headed home.
'Hey well done Ash you were great man' said Dan
'Yeah i know, i just hope they got enough shots of my butt' he smiled.
When they got home they found Jacob sulking in his robe and watching his favourite film ' The Little Mermaid'.
'Hey man' they all shouted as they came in but he ignored them.
No one noticed cos he never talked much anyway so Ashley went to bed, tired from all that stressful thinking closely followed by Erik who was closely followed by Dan who was kicked out within 2 minutes and then wandered into Trevors room with him. Jacob stayed up all night watching Disney films until the nexy day when he felt the need for peanut butter on toast.
