It was seven o'clock at Shela's house. Shela was at the front door, greeting Robert. Danielle was in the closet, waiting for some action to take place. But somebody was letting themselves in Shela's backdoor. Putting their keys on her table. Looking for her...

The supposed date was starting off sorta slowly. Danielle was keeping a friendly eye on her best friend from the tv monitor they had installed in Shela's closet, which was hooked to a camera hidden inside a painting on the wall in the house.

Someone's footsteps leading toward the living room...

Shela is now pouring a glass of red rum.

Steps are getting closer...

Bored, Danielle leans in closer toward the screen. Shela is getting up because she thought she heard something. Robert picks up a knife and follows behind her.

"Oh no he's going to kill Shela!" Danielle said, then crept out of her hiding place to get to Robert.

That somebody sees the knife going toward her....

Someone and Danielle both run for her in attempt....

WHAM!!!!!

They all fell down on top of each other.

"Oww....you're crushing my pancreas!!!" Shela said, with her eyes closed to the situation at hand. She opened her eyes to find who had fallen on top of her. It was THAT someone....

.................someone that was Johnny Knoxville.

"Johnny?! What the crap are you doing here?! I thought you were with your seven girlfriends?!" Shela said, reluctantly helping him up. "Huh? Seven girlfriends? Sweetheart, I don't have seven girlfriends. Remember I went to Ohio to shoot a film? Well when I found out a impostor set me up and made me look like I had seven girls, I came back early to be with you. And that man that we have here, he looks thirsty. Here have some red rum." Johnny took a glass and force fed it to Robert. Robert began to have some crazy overload like thing and literally blew up! "See what I told you? Androids! There's a bunch of them. One of me, that set me up. You, Danielle, they could make em' of anybody. That's what Robert was...an android. I'm sorry for all the pain the android of me caused you....and I love you!" Johnny said. Shela moved the android parts out of her way and hugged him. "Aww I love you too!"

"Aw come on! Suck it up! Gosh, take it to your room!" Danielle interrupted.

"Ah shut up! Oh crap! I forgot, I need to call Ben back. What?! I never said we were seeing each other..." Shela said.

"AHA! YOU ADMITTED IT!!! You ARE seeing him! I knew it!"

"No I didn't say I was with him. I said...ugh! I'm going to go call him." Shela made her way to the phone. Johnny put his hand on the phone to stop her. "Don't....he's busy.....and so are you."

 Shela took his hand away from the phone. "Look I'm going to call him whether you like it or not."

"Shela, I'm doing what's best for us. I mean you DO want to live, right?" Johnny said, for the best of the two.

"Yeah but...gosh, what could horribly happen to us for calling him? An answering machine?!" Shela hatefully replied.

"You know what? Call him, smarty pants!" Johnny knew what would more than likely happen. She picked up the phone and dialed the number. Someone answered.

"Ben? Is that you? I'm sorry I didn't call you earlier but I haven't got the..."

"Oh I understand that an idiot like you wouldn't call for days. By the way, this isn't Ben. It's your worst nightmare..." The voice on the phone had now gotten eviler.

"Oh no! You're a democrat!"

"No you idiot! Look, you got seven days until you, your friends, and others you don't know, die!!! Unless you can stop me within those given days. I'll give you clues along your journey to find me and if you don't find out who I am, where I am, and what I'm up to and stop me, you're digging your own grave. So I'll go ahead and tell you I'm everywhere. Well, good luck and remember seven days. Buh bye!" He finally hung up.

"Guys, we're doomed. Unless we can find out whose causing this mess, we're going to die in seven days. Now if you'll excuse me, I'd like to spend those last days happy. I'm going to watch some tv."

They slumped down on the couch together with a sigh.

"This just in, the world is going CRAZY for Billie Joe Armstrong's Bad Singing Tour Concert, which fires up in just seven more days. Is the Earth hypnotized? Who knows but Billie Joe sure is stupidly rocking the planet. Sales are upping, common sense is lowering, and Billie Joe's fame is going sky high! Well that's it for the tv, because within the next seven days every station on television will feature Billie Joe. I'm Chitter Chatter and I'm going to go listen to Billie Joe right now! See yaaa!!"

Shela, Danielle, and Johnny sat there wide eyed.

"Oh, sorry I forgot to mention, RBS has now released a new brand of androids. Cool, huh? Okay well here's Billie Joe again."

Now they sat there wide eyed and jaws dropped. Shela turned off the tv.

"Well, what do you wanna do?" She asked.

"I want to stop this before I have to die." Danielle replied, still jittery.

"Who do you think is behind this?" Johnny wondered.

"Do you guys think RBS has something to do with this?" Shela added.

"I don't know but we could look up the factory's number and call."

"Johnny, grab the phone book." Shela said.

"Excuse me but I was wondering what's your latest model in androids and is it okay if we come and have a tour of your wonderful factory?" Shela said on the phone, using her professional voice.

"Well let's see here, dear. The latest model happens to be the HuMo-9375, which can take form of any human on this planet, maybe even replace them. And I think it would be great to have you visit this evening." The little old lady on the phone said.

"Great! We'll be there soon. Thank you! Goodbye!" Shela hung up the phone.

"Girls, we're going to pay RBS a visit!"

The fun had only begun...
