Peter, Mike, Davy, and Micky were practicing playing their song 'Nightly Daily' when suddenly, a cloud of smoke appears in front of them.
"Now who could that be?" asked Peter.
"It's Smoky the Bear. He has returned!" answered Mike.
"Silly boys," spoke the Devil.
"Hey, that's not Smoky the Bear," said Davy. "He's that Mr. Zero guy from last week!"
"You can't have him!" yelled Micky defensively. "Peter isn't coming with you!"
"Relax," soothed Mr. Zero. "I've only come to tell you that I'm going out of business."
"Serves you right," whispered Davy.
"What did you say, little boy?" asked Mr. Zero suspiciously.
"Nothing," stated Davy worriedly.
"Well then," continued Mr. Zero, "do you want to visit my shop one last time?"
"NO!" shouted Davy, Mike, Peter, and Micky.
"Everything is pretty much free," added Mr. Zero. "Including my drums, guitars, bass, and harps."
"Well, if you put it like that, sure!" answered Micky.
"Wonderful," said Mr. Zero with a grin. "Be sure to come before 9 P.M."
"Why?" asked Peter. "Oh, you have to check with the people in *coo coo*, right?"
"No," responded Mr. Zero unhappily. "That's when the store always closes."
"I thought it was open 24/7," thought Davy aloud.
"It used to be like that," explained Mr. Zero. "It changed because less and less idiots -I mean people- have been coming to my shop. Because of that, I've decided to change the times open from 24/7 to 9:00-9:00 on the weekdays and 7:00-12:00 on the weekends."
"Today is Saturday," reminded Mike.
"So what? I can change the times whenever I want," replied Mr. Zero. "I am the devil, you know."
"Great," said Micky in a hurry. We'll get going to your shop in a couple of minutes."
"It's settled then," said Mr. Zero. "I shall be seeing you four at about 3:25. See you soon." And with the snap of his fingers, Mr. Zero was gone.
