It was a hot day in the summer of 1997 in Malibu, California. The Monkees were surviving in the heat inside, due to the fact their air conditioner broke down that morning. "I called the repairman four hours ago," Peter said as he held a manual fan to keep himself cool. "Yeah, he should have been here an hour ago," Micky said as he was using a towel to wipe the sweat off his face. "You know fellas, I am sick of this," Davy said as he was putting his body against his refrigerator to keep him cool. "I just wish we could do something to keep our minds off of it," Mike said as he was following an electric fan to keep him cool. "Why don't we go to the beach," Micky suggested, "Besides, the breeze from the ocean can cool us down." As soon as he said that, the guys quickly went to their bedrooms to change into their beach clothes, sandals, sunscreen, and sunglasses and gathered their beach chairs, towels, umbrellas, and volleyballs and went out the back door to the beach. As soon as they set everything up, Peter and Mike went to explore the far right of the beach while Micky and Davy relaxed on their beach chairs. "You know what would make this day better," Davy said with his arms behind his head. "Let me guess, girls," Micky said in the snarkiest way. "No, with piňa coladas in our hands," Davy said. "That will be the day my good man, that will be the day," Micky replied calmly. After Micky said that, Peter came running down the beach towards Davy and him and said, "Guys, you got to come with me now, quick." Micky and Davy took this seriously and decided to run down to the right of the beach where they met up with Mike. "What's going on Mike," Davy asked. "Well, we were just walking down the beach like any normal people at the beach would do until we see her," Mike explained. "What do you mean 'her'," Davy asked. "What Mike means to say is to say is that we found a…," Peter said. "A what," Micky asked. "A mermaid," Peter said. After he said that, Micky and Davy began to laugh like wild hyenas. "Peter, the only time you would ever see a mermaid is if you are either drunk or on drugs, which we haven't done in a while," Micky said. "No I am serious," Peter said and showed them the mermaid. She had tan skin, dark brown hair, brown eyes, white tail, and white scales on her breasts. "Oh god, Peter," Davy said, "You weren't kidding." "I checked her pulse and her breathing and she is unconscious," Mike said. "Well, what do we do now," Micky asked. "Well, I was thinking we could bring her into the house and get her into a tub of cold water with salt in it," Peter said. "You may be the dumbest person we know," Micky said, "But that plan is genius." "All right, Micky, Mike, you carry her into the house while Peter and I get the bathtub filled with cold water and salt," Davy said as Mike carried her torso and Micky carried her tail while Davy and Peter ran inside to start to fill the bathtub with water and get the salt from the kitchen. Meanwhile, Micky and Mike were outside carrying the mermaid to the house. "She is so heavy," Mike said, "I miss those days when we would be able to do what happened in 'An Officer and A Gentleman'." "Actually, the tail is just extra weight," Micky said as he and Mike were getting nearer the house. When they got to the house, Davy opened the door for them and went straight to the bathroom to put her in the bathtub, where Peter was just finishing putting salt in it. "Are you done yet," Mike asked. "I just did," Peter said as Mike and Micky lowered her into the bathtub. "So, what do we do now," Micky asked. "Now, we wait and see if she wakes up," Peter said. Then all of a sudden, they heard a yawn and Davy asked, "Micky, are you tired?" "No, I'm not, why," Micky answered. "Because I thought I heard …," Davy said until he realized it was someone else, "The mermaid." "She must have woken up," Mike said as he and the guys turned around and saw that she woke up and saw that she was looking at them. Peter decided to go up and talk to her. "Hello, I am human, we found you and will not hurt you," Peter said slowly. "Nice to meet you, I am a mermaid, by the way you are talking, I think you think I'm stupid and cannot talk," she said in the same way Peter did. "Sorry, he didn't mean to offend you," Davy said. "Well you didn't bother to ask," the mermaid replied. "Sorry about that, I'm Micky," he said in a normal tone as she shook his hand. "I'm Davy," he said and shook her hand. "I'm Mike," he said as he shook her hand. "And I'm Peter and I'm the one who found you and saved your life," he said as he shook her hand. "Thanks then, I'm Delia, pleased to meet all of you," she said. "The same goes for us as well then," Micky said as he spoke for all of them. "You must be really nervous right now," Delia said. "Why would you think that," Mike replied. "I don't know, but maybe it has to do to the fact that you are humans talking to an actual mermaid, who were thought to be myths," she said. "Actually, yeah," Micky said. "Don't worry, I am a bit nervous, but you can't tell," she said. "Ok, can you excuse us for a second," Peter asked. "No problem, you can go, I do need my alone time now," she said. After she said that, the guys left the bathroom and went to the dining room. "Ok so, what do we do with her," Micky said. "Consider this, she has no home, people will find her mysterious in the waters, report her to the police, and put her in some aquarium," Peter said. "So our only option is to keep her here, and not as in a pet," Davy said. "Ok, looks like our minds have been made up," Mike said. After he said that, they went back to the bathroom to talk to Delia. "So what's going on," she asked as she had her hands on the bottom of the tub to fling her tail onto the rim of the tub. "We decided that you should stay here with us," Micky said. "But, why, I live in the ocean," Delia said in a sad tone. "That is actually the reason why, besides you might be reported to the police and be put in an aquarium," Davy said. "What is an aquarium," she asked. "It is a place where marine animals are shown in display for the public and have shows which whales and dolphins do tricks like flipping in the air for the people to see," Peter said. Then she thought, "But, the ocean is my home, but they are saying humans could catch me and put me in a cage for humans to look at me, ugh what am I saying, I should listen to them." "Guys, I will stay with you," she said to them in which Peter responded with a hug for her, which the other guys did to her, one at a time.
