The Monkees Part 1

Chapter 19

The quartet hadn't realized what was waiting for them ahead. They were all busy joking around to even notice.

Finally, Davy looked up and saw the four standing there. One for each of the monkees.

"Run. The other way.

"Why?"

He pointed over. "Do those faces ring a bell?"

Mike squinted his eyes to see what Davy was talking about. "Is that who I think it is?"

"Yeah. Let's split."

They ran the other direction with the four of their enemies following them. Micky kept turning around to see if they were still following. He didnt see anyone so he slowed his running until he stopped. Mike followed soon after once he realized Micky stopped running.

"Hey why'd you stop Micky?"

"They stopped following us."

"Maybe not." Peter said pointing ahead. "They just split up and now they're surrounding us."

"Okay. What now?"

Dragon man was coming up from the right as Dr. Markavich came up from the left. Babyface and Dr. Mendoza was closing in from the front and behind.

"Lemme think a minute Micky."

Mike started looking around for anything that could help. "Come on. This way." He ran and everyone else followed. So did the four guys who were after them.

They ran through the woods and Mike said: "Split up and climb a tree to the top."

That's exactly what they did. After all, they are monkees. They each stayed quiet and kept within eye shot of each other. Peter was in a tree right in front of the tree Mike was on and Davy was right next to Micky.

It was bad enough 2 of the monkees were afraid of heights. Davy and Mike. They both tried their hardest not to look down.

Micky saw the four of the bad guys right below him and he covered his mouth so no sound would come out.

Dragon man: "Where they go?"

Babyface: "They couldn't have gotten far. Split up again."

The four of them split up. But the monkees couldn't get down from the trees yet because they would probably be heard so they just sat in the trees. Mike eyed Micky. Then looked over at Davy and Peter who were all looking at him.

Peter was about to say something when Mike put his finger up to his lip telling Peter to stay quiet. All Peter did was nod as he understood Mike.

Babyface was now walking under Mike. A smile came across his face as he looked at Micky.

Micky knew what he was going to do and began shaking his head. Mike nodded. Micky kept shaking his head.

Mike grabbed some rope that was tied down on the tree and he tore his sleeve from his shirt and tore it in half.

He finally leaped from the tree and landed on Babyface knocking him to the ground. Babyface tried to make some noise for the others to hear but Mike gagged him before he could. Then he put the other half of his sleeve over his eyes to blindfold him. He then took the rope and tied Babyface to a tree and went back up into his own tree.

Micky began to snicker as he looked over at Mike who now looked ridiculous with only one sleeve of his shirt.

The other three guys were way out of sight. Mike nodded and they all jumped down from the tree.

Mike walked up to Babyface and gently hit his head and said: "Now you behave for us and dont make any noise while we escape. Ya hear?"

"There was just a mumble coming from the gag.

Now the four monkees took off toward the MonkeeMobile and each of them entered with Micky driving it.

"Everyone ready to go home?"

"Yep. While today was a fun day, we can go home and rest." Davy said.

"Hey Mike, that was awesome what you did to Babyface. You probably embarrassed him." Peter mentioned as Micky drove back to the pad.

"Yeah well, it was quick thinking. Micky was over next to me shakin' his head no thinkin' it wouldnt work. Just remember, they will be back to look for us."

"Yeah. Got a plan?"

"Well, every time they came after us, we just winged it. It's better than all our other plans that failed. So, we will wing it next time they try anything."

"You sure that'll work?"

"It better. It worked all these other times." Micky stated as each of them exited the car and walked in their home.

"Boy Mike. You sure come up with a lot of great ideas."

"Sometimes it just comes to me. You have to think quickly in these kinds of situations."

Micky walked over to the refrigerator and opened the door to look inside it. "Anyone hungry?"

"No not really."

"How about some TV?"

"Yeah. It'll give us a chance to relax."

Peter turned the TV on and flipped through several channels. Nothing good was on so he shut it off.

"Okay so what now?"

"How about we play some music?" Mike said jogging over to his guitar and picking it up.

Davy walked over to his tambourine and shook it a little as Micky and Peter walked over to their instruments.

They began playing Saturdays child.

Monday had a sad child
Always feeling low down,
Tuesday had a dream child
She's always on the go
Now I'm in love with Saturday's child
She drives me wild
Gonna spend my time
Makin' sure that Saturday's child is mine.

If you love a Wednesday
You'll live your life apart now
And if you love a Thursday
She's gonna break your heart,
So I'm in love with Saturday's child
She drives me wild
Gonna spend my time
Makin' sure that Saturday's child is mine.

Seven days of the week made to choose from
But only one is right for me
I know that Saturday's got what it takes, babe.
I can tell by the way she looks at me

After a few songs, they forgot about what happened that day. They finally relaxed after what seemed like forever.

No cliffhanger this time 😂😂
