The Biker Mice From Mars

chapter 3

At the Last Chance Garage

The boys stared as their new friend walked casually away from the garage while Charley just smiled. Same old Stella.

"Hey now we have our own scientist and mechanic! Guys, this is so awesome!" Vinnie called to his bros excited as usual.

"Don't get your hopes up V-man. Stella is a genius for sure but she is a wild card. When she gets in a rut it's hard work to get her out again. She becomes reckless." Charley said from under Throttle's bike.

"How'd you mean, Charley-ma'am?" Charley sighed and rolled out from under her current project.

"I mean that, sure she's an amazing inventor and scientist but if she can't think of something new or can't figure out the answer to a formula then she becomes unpredictable, more so than she already is... Last time, she ended up buying a load of bubble machines and filled her whole house and garden with them because and I quote, 'bubbles help the thoughts pop into the mind' and that's the best crazy moment she's had, usually she just goes to clubs and gets drunk until a thought comes to her mind or goes thrill seeking..." The boys snorted but quickly covered their laughs with coughs.

Back at Stella's House and Lab

It had been over a month and no new ideas had come to me. No new formulas. No nothing and it was driving me insane!! I had started pacing so much that there was a clear path in the rug in my room. Vinnie was the only mouse to visit me, the others had been to busy so hadn't visited me, Charley had a few times and had invited me to hang with them but I had declined saying a new idea was bound to come to me soon. But nothing had come to me. I decided to resort back to my old methods of getting the ideas flowing and I knew just the club to go to. I dressed in my most rock chick outfit and left for the club, it might have been only 5pm but the club would be open for staff members and as part owner, I was clearly qualified to enter before opening times.

The welcome I got from my old colleagues was amazing and we all started drinking early to get me ready for the wild night I was determined to have on my favourite night of the week: ROCK night!
