As the summer begins.

Gerard drives Mikey to the bar where Mikey now officially works. Mikey gets dropped off 6 minutes later and gets out of the car with extreme pace. He was ready to serve some cocktails. As he's working, someone asks him for a martini. Only problem is Mikey can't find the ingredients for the martini

" Do you need any help?" His coworker, Pete, asks.

" Yes please. Where's the ingredients for the martini?" Mikey asks.

"There right there on the corner of the table" Pete says as he chuckles.

"Oh haha" mikey replies with embarrassment.

As mikey serves ONE drink. It turns to 37 drinks in an hour. Mikey is so tired that he's sweating on his back and forehead.

"You're looking a bit drenched there" Pete says.

"Yea. I'm just so tired and I'm only 1 hour in on my first day." Mikey replies.

"Meet me out back?" Pete says.

"Sure" mikey replies.

They go to the back of the building. Its chilly and its turning slightly dark outside. Pete pulls out a cigarette and a lighter and starts smoking. He hands over the 2 items without saying a word. Mikey takes it and lights up his cigar. They start smoking as they look at the sky.

" so... you have a girlfriend?" Pete asks.

*complete silence for a few seconds*

" yea actually... her name is Alicia." Mikey replies.

" oh thats nice!" Pete says.
