Monkees meet the Beatles

Chapter 3

Sometime during the morning

Each of the monkees were hanging out with each of the beatles. Mike was taking a walk while talking to John about their music, Davy and George were at the beach basically building a sand castle together, Micky and Paul were at the store getting some food so they could cook out, and Peter and Ringo were still inside the house.

Then, it happened. The ground began to shake. At first, it was a small shake. Then, it started to shake perfusely. Mike and John didn't know what was happening.

"Woah. What's going on?" John found himself yelling.

"Its an earthquake!" Mike yelled pulling John out of the street as the street started parting from under their feet. Glass flew everywhere from buildings. It seemed to go on forever.

It finally stopped after 4 minutes. Mike and John were leaning against the side of a building with their heads covered as the ground stopped shaking. Mike slowly looked up.

He finally spoke after a few minutes: "This doesn't mean its over. Come on. We need to get our friends and see if they're okay."

John nodded. He looked terrified.

Mike grabbed him as they moved away from the side and started walking in the street. There was still pieces of buildings falling all around them. They both had gotten glass on their faces and in their hair. They were only 6 blocks away from the pad and they ran all the way there.

Once there, they saw that half the house was gone. "John, go to the beach. See if George and Davy are still there!"

"Will do!" John said as they both seperated while Mike went inside. The dust started to make him cough as he stepped over plaster and fallen pieces of the roof.

"Peter? Ringo? You in here?"

He heard coughing coming from behind him and he turned around. It was Ringo. He ran up to Ringo and knelt beside him. "Hey Ringo, you hurt?"

"No. I don't think so. 'elp me up will ya?"

Mike grabbed his arm and pulled him to his feet. "Where's Peter? Have you seen him?"

He thought for a second. "When the quake hit, he was standin' over there!"

"Alright. Just relax here and I'll find him."

Mike walked over to where Ringo had pointed. He found Peter out like a light but no known injuries. "Peter?"

Peter shot up as he started breathing heavily not really knowing what happened. "What happened?" He looked around. Then, he looked at Mike. "What are you doing here? I thought you were on a walk with John."

Mike smiled. "Yeah we were. Until a quake hit. You alright?"

"Uh, yeah. Yeah. I think I'm fine."

"Alright. Up and at em." He said forcing Peter to stand up. Peter had a really bad looking cut on his forehead and Mike started to examine it. He walked up to where the kitchen used to be and grabbed the first aid kit.

John came inside. "No luck. I couldn't find either one of them." He saw Ringo and walked up to him and pulled him to for a hug. "Glad ye alright mate."

"Ye too."

"So, we're missing two of each. Micky, Davy, Paul and George. Did Micky and Paul tell either one of you where they were going?"

"I think they said they were getting some food to cook out with."

"Great. They could be all the way across town. We need to find them and make sure they're okay." Mike said as he tended to Peter who winced every time Mike touched the cut on his head. "Sorry Peter."
