A Monkees Fanfic by Kari & Kris [SinceIFell4U & theCheekeeMonkee]
It was a bright winter's day right after a bed full of snow fell the night before. Everyone was was bustling about; it hadn't snowed in for ages. The men were busy with their clients and the shops and stores that they owned while the women were dragging children away from the toy stores and into other places around the mall. There were only twenty-three shopping days until Christmas and each day was going fast.
Mike was at the mall in the main downstairs commons area, sitting on one of the ledges where plants were planted, strumming and humming on his guitar. He had his fine, black guitar case open with a few dimes and nickels inside. Between Mike's soft, but very hearty voice and the beautiful sounds from the guitar, a girl couldn't help but pass by and drop a few quarters into the pile.
Mike looked up and saw a pretty brunette smiling down at him and he grinned. "Well, uh... thank you!" He blushed, indicating to the money she dropped into his guitar case.
The girl laughed. "Hey no problem," she said, taking a seat next to him on the ledge. Mike scooted over to make more room. "Is this just a part time job or do you come here often?"
Mike supressed a chuckle. "Well, actually, I have a confession to make. I'm not really playing here for money."
"Oh?" the girl looked at him in surprise.
With a sheepish grin, Mike picked up the cans of shoeshine right next from the little display by his guitar. "Tryin' to sell some of this here nifty stuff, but so far it ain't working."
The gir thought for a moment. "Hmmm, I think I have a way to help you... if you're up for it, that is." Her smile was glowing.
"I'll try anything," Mike grinned.
"So, Peter," Davy said, as Peter leaned against the wall, with his hand propping his head up. "How's life."
Peter didn't respond. Davy just stared at him waiting for an answer, as Peter was clearly in a state avoiding everything else, and stayed perfectly in place without moving a muscle.
Much love,
Kari
