Chapter 1 Megan was a 17-year-old. Megan lived in Memphis Tennessee. She was a very good student and enrolled in college a year early because she skipped 1st grade. She didn’t think of her self-smart because she wasn’t that smart. She was adventurous. When she was 16 her dad, best friend, her dad and her bungee jumped off a bridge and when she turned 17 they sky dived at 15,000 feet. She always wanted to be on Road Rules and she knew she couldn’t but she would turn 18 on the 5th day of the trip and she never knew what could happen and wished that the outcome would be good. Megan had a broken right ankle. She had a plastic boot on her foot. She wasn’t suppose to walk on it but she does any way. Phone Conversation Unknown: hello Megan’s Dad: hello Unknown: may I speak to Dennis Quann  Dennis: this is he Unknown: hi, I am Kerri, and I am a coordinator for the series Road Rules Dennis: yes Kerri: well I am calling to congratulate your daughter on making it onto the cast. Dennis: she did, but why are you telling me this Kerri: well my team spent 4 days and 9 meetings to discuss whether Megan should be excepted to Road Rules or Real World. We figured out that since Megan is only 17, we didn’t want to put her in a situation in a house with way older people and Road Rules doesn’t have that many older people. We called you because I am going to fax you some papers that you have to sign because of your daughters age and I tell you not to tell your daughter that she’s excepted until you send back the papers. Dennis: thank you, I’ll do that Kerri: yea, bye Dennis: bye Megan’s dad received the papers, he read them over and signed them and sent them back. Then he walked up to Megan’s room Dennis: Megan, I need to talk to you so get off thephone Megan: Nick I got to go my dad needs to talk to me Nick: call me back, I love you Megan: me too, bye Nick: bye Megan: dad what do you want Dad: I want to talk to you about a phone call I just received Megan: did I do something wrong Dad: well, you know that we bungeed jumped 2 years ago and last year we sky dived for your birthday, well we can’t go rock climbing this year for your birthday  Megan: (crying) dad why you know I loved to do those things Dad: because you’re not going to be here for it Megan: what do you mean Dad: well you are going to do more extreme things than that for 8 weeks Megan: what Dad: you are going to live with 5 other people in a Winnie Megan: hello, give me a clue Dad: well its called Road Rules 6 Megan: oh my gosh, awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, your kidding right Dad: no honey you leave in exactly 2 weeks so get packing and remember that you can only take stuff that fits in these two bags Pulling out a road rules backpack and a carrier.
