Scene 1

(The Monkees are driving along a road in some exotic looking desert at night.)

Mike: Are you sure the gig is way out here? It seems a little strange...

Peter: Yeah, I have the map right here! (Leaning over to show Micky)See we came up here, went down this road, then went over here.

Micky: Peter, since when was 'lake' spelled upside down. (Turning the map over) Here we are, and there's a town right up in front of us! We can ask for directions there.

(The Monkees randomly appear in a small town)

Mike: Well, this doesn’t look like much, but why doesn’t someone go ask for help.

(Monkees walk into a small shop)

Mike: Do you know where Hidden is?

Man at desk: That's almost a two days drive from here! 

Micky glares at Peter: Well, there goes our gig...

Davy: Well, it's obviously too late to drive there tonight. Is there a hotel in town?

Man at desk: No hotel, but there is a nice flat up on that hill over there that might be nice for camping.

Micky: Oh, we'll go there.

Man at desk: I wouldn't if I were you... (In a low whisper) It's haunted, or bad, or something...

Mike (Not really listening): Well that's all right, come on guys. (Monkees get in their car and drive away.

Man at desk: Well, I tried... (Goes back to work)

Scene 2

(Monkees drive up to a small, leveled off area with old ruins) 

Micky: Hey, this place is kinda cool.

Mike: You're right, it's a nice spot, and it has a nice view. Well let's set up some tents. (Pulls tents out of the car and hands them to Peter and Davy) Put these up over there.

(Scene switches over to Peter and Davy setting up a tent)

Davy: Oh, we forgot the tent poles!

Peter points to a large sculpture sticking out of the ground: Let's use this to hold up the tent!

Davy: That's too tall, and besides... Hey, what's that? (Davy points to something shiny hanging up on top of the large sculpture sticking out of the ground)

Peter: If I stand on this other rock, and reach up high enough... (Peter reaches as high as he can, but can't pull it down) Oh darn, it’s stuck! I wish I was strong enough to just pull it down... (The thing suddenly comes down easily) Oh! It's some kind of old necklace thing... I don't want it!

Davy: Well I do! Give it here, let me see it! (Peter hands it over and Micky walks up)

Micky: Hey, what's that?

Davy: I don't know, but Peter found it, and now it's mine.

Micky: Can I see it? (Davy gives it to Micky, but just a moment later demands it back)

Davy extends a hand: Can you give it back now? It is mine!

Micky to Peter (before he gives it back): You know, sometimes I just wish he'd disappear!

Peter seriously: That's not a very nice thing to say.

Micky (smiles a little): You know I'm not really serious when I say stuff like that-

Peter (Interrupts): Davy! What's happening to Davy?!

(Davy looks alarmed and is slowly fading away): Guys... Guys what's going on?!
