~Prologue~

"Hey Annabelle, over here!" Jake called. Oh, he's so cute!

I look over at him and smile. He has five two-liter bottles of soda sitting right next to each other. Mountain Dew, Crush, Moxie, Mello Yello, and Pepsi. My favorites. But what's this? There seems to be a square of duct tape on each bottle. What's on the duct tape, you ask? A message.
