 On a sunny day in Atlanta, there were three soda men, Coke, Sprite, and Fanta. They suddenly escaped Coca Cola Headquarters and planned to protect San Francisco coasts from Franklin, who was their competitor. According to Coke’s plan, the places that they were going to pass were Birmingham, Alabama, Little Rock, Arkansas, Plano, Texas, Tulsa, Oklahoma, Wichita, Kansas, Colorado Springs, Colorado, Las Vegas, Nevada, Fresno, California, San Jose, California, and into San Francisco consolidated city-county. “We also can give away to the people our cold and tasty drink”, said Coke. Sprite added, “Let’s go to Plano?” Fanta looked up and said, “Plano? What a great idea! We will also pick up Pepsi, Brisk, and Lipton in Wichita. We are also meeting Dr. Pepper, Schweppes, and Canada Dry in Plano.”

 They decided to leave Atlanta, going through Marietta, and crossing the Georgia-Alabama border. On the way, one of them got hot so they had to stay in Little Rock for one and a half days. Then, they rode through middle Alabama. Because of a traffic jam, they arrived at Birmingham only two hours later. After arriving, they saw the following in Birmingham: declining population, flooding because of recent rain and T-storms. After Birmingham, they passed through the Alabama-Mississippi border. However, in Mississippi, they did not go through any city; they just went though the state.

  Finally, the three arrived at Little Rock. The city was completely damaged, so they saw damaged cars, a lot of gas, and a lot of pollution. They decided to help thirsty people, giving them delicious and cold drinks. The people were very grateful to soda men. Being pleased after doing good deed, the heroes could leave the city and head to Plano.

  In Plano, they met Dr. Pepper, Schweppes, and Canada Dry. “Hello” the three original soda men said together. New guys replied, “Hello Coca Cola Company men!” All the six soda men then journeyed their way to Tulsa. In Tulsa, one of the Soda men said that he did not want to be in Tulsa because there was an upcoming tornado, according to National Weather Service (NWS). When Canada Dry heard this, he also replied that they needed to evacuate to a shelter. However, the tornado was not in Tulsa and was over in just five minutes because it was EF-0 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale.

 After Tulsa, they crossed the Oklahoma-Kansas border and went to Wichita. In Wichita, it was hot, compared to what the soda men originally thought. They thought subtropical climate never reached over a 100 degrees Fahrenheit, but either way, they got to the Great Plains and it was way hotter there. They all started sweating. Although the soda men cooled down in a few seconds because they could enjoy heavenly drink. They also shared their life saving drink with other people of the city.

 Unfortunately, they were caught in an EF-4 tornado and the tornado moved all the way to the Colorado-Kansas border. When they went to Colorado, they first visited the Colorado Springs and there was so much rain that Sprite said, “Please no! Let’s leave this place!”

 Then some strangers from Purchase, New York came and they were Pepsi, Brisk, and Lipton. Pepsi replied to Sprite, “We’re going to leave in ten minutes. Calm down!” Then Coke answered back, “Nah. We’re going to leave in one minute to Las Vegas.” Then Lipton replied with, “Las Vegas? Let’s play in Casinos!” Therefore, the soda men left for Las Vegas but they were not going to play in casinos because they had to report to San Francisco.

 When they got to Las Vegas, they crossed the Colorado-Utah border and the Utah-Nevada border. However, it was very hot in Las Vegas and they immediately went to Fresno. Fresno also was hot, so they needed to go to San Jose. In San Jose, it was cooler and in ten minutes, they reached San Francisco.

 Before resisting the city, they took a tour. They saw the following: some strange skyscrapers, a strange bridge (the Golden Gate Bridge), and another bridge, the Bay bridge). They also saw two islands, which were the Alcatraz, and the Angel islands. They also saw a pack of immigrants in the city. Later, an earthquake occurred, all of the sudden. However, the Soda-Men’s competitor caused the earthquake. “What’s your name”, asked Coke. The competitor answered, “I’m Franklin”. I’m here to hijack and destroy San Francisco (S.F) Bay Area and you small midgets!” So, Coke said to everyone to protect San Francisco from the competitor.

 Coke positioned himself and others in several houses to stay away from elevators, doors, walls, and put block cover with hands below the tables. The earthquake only lasted 90 seconds, but something like earthquake and shook. The people, as well as the soda-men knew it was an aftershock, which was weaker than the normal earthquake, but would likely last for 4 ½ hours. Therefore, everyone’s house was safe, thanks to the Soda-Men, but that was not the whole story. Thirty minutes later, Soda-Men arrived at Franklin’s battlefield. In his battlefield, the Soda-Men fought Franklin and the fight lasted 30 minutes. The soda-men beat up Franklin. Franklin declared, “What?! These Midgets really beat me up!! See you later in San Mateo County!” “And don’t call us midgets, Franklin”, answered the Soda-Men. Therefore, the Soda-Men left for San Mateo County, where less people lived in.
