Let's go to the future!!!!

The year is 2041 and the Florida Panthers have won 29 consecutive Stanley Cups. Andy is one happy guy and wakes up on a beautiful Saturday morning from his technological slumber. During the sleep stage, a brain chip is activated that gives you the ability to control every aspect of your dreams and automatically records your dreams to a holographic hard drive for your friends to enjoy. Andy has just returned from a grueling hockey fight where he knocked out Steve MacIntyre and Brian McGrattan in the matter of 30 seconds. Although this would never happen in reality, his dreams suit him well enough.

As Andy emerges from his gelatin massage mattress, he claps three times, illuminating an image on the wall in front of him. After a few keys are pressed, a gust of wind blows and he is simultaneously dressed in any outfit that is in his invisibly condensed wardrobe. Andy walks out of his room and his morning hygiene routine is automatically completed as he walks through the door frame. He walks into his kitchen and is greeted by a group of servers. Andy recently gave in to his life dream and converted his kitchen to a full size Cracker Barrel. After he finishes his Grandpa's Country Breakfast, Andy heads out to the massive underground parking lot, also known as his garage. Today's choice is the recently upgraded Pagani Zonda R that was personally customized by Andy himself. A few of the additions include weapons of mass destruction and the abilities to fly, dive, and vanish into thin air. He hops in his car and peels out of his transparent driveway, which reveals an image of his underground ice hockey rink. As Andy drives to school, he thinks about his day ahead at FGCU.

Andy has followed in his father's footsteps and is currently on a 35 year plan. He pulls into the valet drive-thru in front of the newly revamped Student Union and hands his prized possession over to Mitch Brown, a new valet who still drives his 1994 Honda Accord, yet plays left wing on Alex Ovechkin's line. The world may never know Mitch's reasoning, but Andy walks to class either way. After a quick stop at Subway, he runs to Mrs. V's room and is absolutely ecstatic for the planned activities. After class, Andy goes to the library, which has been outfitted with a transportation device. He travels to Mexico for chips and salsa, then Japan for a nice Hibachi lunch.

As night approaches, Andy heads on over to the Bank Atlantic Center. He is the General Manager for the Florida Panthers and they have a game against the Toronto Maple Leafs in a few hours. After a decisive 6-0 victory, Andy gives a call to his valet driver, Mitch. They speed on over to Daytona for the Nationwide race and a night of fun. They see Jack Shack, who was recently named the President of the United States and Jared from Subway. Mrs. V even comes to the race and they all have a grand time.

In the morning, Andy walks into one of the infield bathrooms. He turns on the sink and receives a handful of Skittles, which is a norm in the United States after the Candy Act passed in 2036. The taste of the rainbow on his tongue makes him light up like a child. He enjoys his snack and then jumps into Lake Lloyd to try out the new gills he had surgically installed last month. They work like a charm. Suddenly, Andy accidentally touches a downed power line in the lake due to the previous night's festivities and dies suddenly. Mitch mourns for eternity and they bury Andy in a grave of his most favorite things in the world: Cracker Barrel biscuits. The end.
