In this chapter, it's all about waiting for the call from Mr. Henderson, and I'd figured I would talk a bit about Micky's obsession with vulcans which after watching so many monkees biographies of hearing him talk about them, I decided to make it part of my story.
A few days after the guys had their second audition with ,they spent their time either rehearsing new songs, or coming up with some other ways to make some extra cash, since money was starting to run low.
Trying her best to keep the guys as level headed as she possibly could,stephani was beginning to grow frustrated by their growing seemed like the person who was the most impatient was Mike,and the others knew to stay clear of him whenever he was in a foul mood.
Beginning to show signs of desperation,Mike kept a constant vigil at the phone,while everyone else kept themselves occupied by doing other time they invited Mike to join them in a game of checkers,cards,or to go to the beach his response was always the same.
"Hey Mike,why don't you come to the beach with us and have some real fun."said micky as he tossed a beach ball at Mike's head
"No thanks, I'm waiting for that phone call from ."Mike sighed
"What about a game of checkers or something?"suggested Davy
"Y'all can play,I'm too busy for checkers right now."said Mike
"Mike?"said Peter"Hey Mike."
"What is it Peter?"Mike said finally looking up from his view of the telephone
"Did you want to do some rehearsing today?"Peter asked while putting on his guitar
"I'm not in the mood to rehearse today."
Finally stepping into the conversation,Stephanie walked over to her brother,and stood in between him and the telephone.
"Alirght Nesmith,enough is enough now."said Stephanie standing infront of the phone
"Steph,move away from the telephone right now."Mike said with an exasperated sigh
"Oh 've been sitting by this phone for a few days now,and enough is enough."said Stephanie
"Would you please move?"Mike said in a much calmer tone
" ,you need to get up and do something other than sitting by this phone like someone waiting for a phone call from someone like Davy."Stephanie sighed
"Did someone just mention my name?"Davy asked while filing his nails
"Just using you as an example."said Stephanie
Redirecting her attention to Mike,Stephanie proved to him that she could be just as stubborn and hard headed as trying to have a civil conversation with her brother wasn't going to work,Stephanie chose to enlist help from the guys to drag Mike out of the house,against his will so that he could do something other than sit in his chair like a bump on a log.
"Okay big brother,I've tried being nice but you've left me no choice."Stephanie sighed as she folded her arms
"Steph,there's nothing you can do to get me our of this chair,or out of this house."said Mike as he wrapped his legs around the kitchen chair
"Oh,I'm not the one who is going to move you."said Stephanie
Motioning for Micky and Peter to come over to the kitchen table,Stephanie and Davy looked on as they saw Mike,including the chair being lifted from off the floor,into the air and out the back door.
Never hearing so many curses and swear words coming from Mkke's mouth,the others just ignored what soon became threats of doing bodily to ignore Mike's rants of rage,Stephanie told Micky and Peter to dump Mike out of the chair and onto the sand.
"Alright guys,you can drop him now."said Stephanie
"Micky,Peter don't you dare drop me."Mike warned
"Sorry Mike,but this is for your own good."said Micky as he let go of his end of Mike's chair
"I'm sorry too Mike."Peter apologized as he also let go of the chair
Doing as they were told,Micky and Peter dumped Mike out of the chair in which caused Mike to hit the sand with a loud Mike got to his feet,he gave everyone an icy stare as he made a run for the house.
"He's getting away!"Stephanie shouted
"Come on,let's get him."said Davy
"Dont shoot til you see the whites of their eyes."Micky said as he ran towards Mike
"What do you mean by that Mick?"Peter asked with confusion
"Pete,ask questions later."Micky sighed
"Y'all are never gonna catch me, I'm too fast for ya."Mike said as he continued running
Continuing the chase from the beach and into the house, the four of them tackled Mike to the ground, just as the telephone started to get to the phone,the only person who managed to break free from the jumbled mess was Peter.
"Hello?"said Peter
"Yes,this is 's office."said
" I help you?"asked Peter
"I have a message for ,is he scalable?"asked
"Um,Mike's alittle tangled up right now,so can I take a message?"said Peter grabbing a pen
"Peter,give me the phone."said Mike as he tried breaking free
"Whatever you do Pete,don't give him the phone."said Stephanie
Finding it impossible to hear the secretary and everyone else telling him what to do,Peter tried his best to take down the message,which sort of got lost in up the phone,Peter walked over to the others,and told them what the secretary had to say.
"So,who was on the phone just now Pete?"asked Micky
"The lady from 's office."said Peter
"What did she say?"asked Davy
"We have to come down to the office today,to talk to ."said Peter
"Did she say what time?"asked Mike as he finally broke free
"I forgot to ask."Peter frowned
"That's okay Pete,just take your time and try to remember."said Stephanie
"Why don't just call them back?"asked Davy
"Or we could try and do a Vulcan mind meld."Micky suggested
"A what?!"said Mike
"A Vulcan mind meld,like they do on star trek."said Micky
"I think we should just call them back like Davy suggested."Stephanie sighed
"Question is,who's going to be the one to call?"asked Davy
"Steph should do it."said Peter
"Wait,why me?"asked Stephanie
"Because if it wasn't for you kid,we never would have gotten the second chance with ."said mike
"Fine,I'll do it eventhough I think I've done enough already."Stephanie sighed as she dialed the phone
