A distant night bird mocks the sun
Chapter 15 im disappointed in the taste
Arriving home with the food he was sent out to get,Peter was ambushed by three hungry roommates the second he walked through the door.
Rolling his eyes as he joined his friends,Peter was in the middle of eating his pancakes when he remembered the piece of paper he had found on his way to the bus stop earlier.
"Hey guys, I found this on my way home." Peter said as he was still chewing his food
"Peter, hasn't anyone ever told you not to talk with your mouth full?" Davy asked in disgust
"Sorry." Peter gulped
"Let me see that." mike said as he picked up the paper
"What's it say Mike?"asked Micky
"ITs for a gig at that new club down town." said Mike
"Are we going to see what it's all about?"asked Davy
"It couldn't hurt." said Micky
"Okay." Mike said after a quick sip of coffee "Lets finish breakfast and,we'll head on downtown."
Hurrying to finish each of their breakfast's, the guys got changed and then left the house to go and see about getting the job down at the new club.
Seeing a long line of other musicians lined up outside of the club as they drove down the street,the guys started to wonder if they even had a chance of getting inside.
Parking the monkeemobile down the street,the guys got in line and waited for an eventual turn inside so they could audition.
As the line moved slowly ,Micky began growing impatient and a little frustrated for having to wait as long as they were already waiting .
"Man, I wish this line could move a little faster." Micky sighed frustratedly
"Will you please relax." said Mike "We're not the only musicians out of work you know."
"Have you seen all the birds that are here today?" Davy asked as he looked at all of the girls also waiting in line
"Here we go again." Peter sighed
"Davy, you stay right where you are because we don't need you rushing off with some girl you hardly know right now. " said Mike
"Line's movin." Micky said as he began walking up the sidewalk
About thirty minutes later the guys were a little closer to the front entrance with only a few more bands ahead of them.
When it was finally their turn inside, they were met by a disappointed club manager , who wasn't sure if they were right for the job.
"And what do we have here?"
"Uh, we're the monkees and would like to audition for your club." said Mike
"And I would love to hear from you but, I see there's a little something missing from your group."
"Oh he must mean our instruments." Said Micky
"We can perform for you with out them , if you don't mind." Peter offered
" It's not the instrument, I see that you're not exactly a mixed group , if you catch my drift?"
We don't get what you mean exactly."said Davy
"You seem like nice kids, so tell you what if you boys can come back here with a female member, I will give you a shot."
"Why do we need a female member?"asked Micky
"Didn't you boys read the fine print on the flier?"
"I think we might have missed that." said Davy
After being shown the fine print on the flier which said that each group must have at least one female member,the guys looked at one another and then at the manager.
"And how long exactly do we have , to find this female member?" asked Micky
"You have until tomorrow ."
"We'll be sure to find one before then."said Peter
"Come on fellas , we've got work to do." said Mike as he tapped the face of his watch
Leaving the club and climbing back into the monkeemobile ,the guys knew what they had to do in order to have a shot at that audition.
"Alright men, its obvious what we have to do to get that gig." Mike sighed
"You don't mean?" Micky gasped dramatically
"One of us has to dress up like a chick."said Mike
"Which one of us will have to do it?"asked Peter
