A distant night bird mocks the sun
Chapter 22
And I will watch my shadow grow
After Micky cleaned up the rest of the living room, he threw down the broom and dustpan on the floor, and walked over to Mike who had a smirk upon his face.
"Okay, is there any thing else oh great master?"asked Micky
"No, I think you're done."said Mike "Just remember one thing though Mick. "
"And what would that be?"asked Micky
"Never say something like you're not afraid of me ever again because, if you do then I see a lot more house work in your future."Mike said as he got up from his chair and left the room
"I'm not falling for that one. "said Micky
"But you already did. "said Mike
Scratching his head in confusion, Micky picked up the broom and dustpan which he just tossed into the downstairs closet as peter and Davy came walking through the back door.
"Did the two of you enjoy the outdoors?"asked Micky
"About as much as you did cleaning the rest of the house. "Davy said as he made his way to the bathroom
"What's up with romeo?"asked Micky
"He tried asking out a girl on the beach, and ended up face first in the sand. "Peter sighed
"Why do I get the feeling that he tried asking of the same one from last time,"said Micky
As soon as Davy came out of the bathroom, he sat down in a chair and let out a disappointing sigh.
" I just don't get it, "said Davy "I've never been turned down by a girl in my entire life."
"There's a first time for everything Davy."said Peter
"So you struck out."said Micky "What difference does being turned down by one chick?"
"It doesn't, but I just can't believe it happened."Davy sighed
"Hey, why don't y'all start packing, this way we can get a move on."Mike shouted from upstairs
Knowing how Mike liked being on time for almost everything, the other three monkees made their way took their rooms and packed their suitcases. While Micky was upstairs in the room he shared with Mike, he looked over at his roommate, and stopped what he was doing.
"Remind me again why I'm going on this trip."said Micky
"You were the one who offered to come along."said Mike "Unless you'd rather stay behind and put up with a visit or two from our landlord."
"On second thought, maybe going along to your Aunt's house won't be so bad. "said Micky as he got back to packing
After the two of them were all packed, they meet up with Peter and Davy who were waiting for them downstairs in the living room. Making sure that they had what they needed, Mike grabbed his guitar from his Aunt Kate and then the four monkees left the pad and locked the door.
Throwing their stuff into the backseat of the monkee mobile, Mike started the engine and then it was off to his Aunt's ranch house in Texas.
