I'm glad you guys are enjoying the story
Here's more...

The Monkees countinued the rest of Babbit's dating lessons outside.
"Now Mr.Babbit, said Peter, When you're taking a date by car, it's important to help them into and out of the car."
Peter lead Babbit to the car and opened up the passanger's side.
"Go ahead sir."
Babbit was skecpitcal, but went into the car.
Peter then closed the door, right on to Babbit's coat.
"Uh, good, now I'm going to show you how to open the door for her to get out," said Peter, after noticing what he did.
He then opened the door and Babbit got out.
This time, Peter closed the car door on Babbit's coat, ripping the bottom part.

Mike gave the next lesson.
He and Babbit were standing in front of a large puddle at the front of the drivway.
"Ok Mr.Babbit, let's say you and Gridy are walking along the street and you see a large puddle like this one," said Mike indicating the puddle they were standing by.
"You place your coat on the puddle so she won't get wet?" asked Babbit.
"Very good, see you're catching on to this date thing already.
But let's observe."
Mike then removed Babbit's ripped up coat, and threw it on the puddle.

A few moments later, the Monkees and Babbit were back inside the pad.
"Well, Mr.Babbit, you've done quite well on your lessons," said Davy.
"Now, do you have any questions or any other helpful tips?"asked Micky.
"Couldn't I just give Gridy some flowers and just be myself?"Babbit asked.
"That may be a thoughtful suggestion," said Mike.
Babbit looked at his watch and said," I better get ready to meet Gridy, thanks for all your help."
And he left.

"You know, I wonder how Babbit's date went last night," said Davy the next moring at breakfast.
"I hope those tips we gave him help," said Peter, pouring coffee into some cups.
Mike knew Peter made the coffee, and he was nervous to try it.
But then again, he didn't want to hurt Peter's feelings so he took a sip.
"Oo offense Eter, ut I ink he coffee's oo hot," said Mike,
"What did he say?"Davy asked Micky.
"I'm not sure, I don't speak that language," Micky answered back.
Just then, something fell and landed into Peter's cereal.
"So that's how they get the prizes in the cereals," said Peter.
Another object then landed in Micky's glass of oj.
He picked it out of the cup and examined it.
"It's plaster,"Micky said.
"Where do you suppose that came from?"Davy asked.
Mike looked up and say that some plaster was falling off the celling.
"I think that answered your question," he said.
"Let's go check it out then.
The Monkees walked out of the pad, and looked up at the roof to see if anyone or anything was up there.
And to their surprise there was somebody up there.
It was Babbit.
"Mr.Babbit?" asked Mike.
"Good moring boys," said Babbit in a cheerful voice.
"If you don't mind sir to ask a silly question, but what are you doing on our roof?" asked Davy.
"And if you don't mind if we ask another silly question, what are you doing on our roof at this hour?" asked Micky.
Babbit then climbed down the ladder that was leaning on the side of the pad and said," Well, Gridy and I were talking about the property around here, and she suggested that the area can turn into a major selling spot if I fix up the houses on the block," said Babbit.
"I'm guessing you had a lot to talk about," said Mike.
"Oh yes, we had a wonderful time, thanks to you guys.

That's all I got tonight
I'm going to Tampa to see a play tommorrow, but hopefully I'll have some more by Sunday

Ok, I think I got something...

Since Babbit was going to be working on the pad for awhile, The Monkees decided to go to the beach.
However judging by the way the sky looked, it looked like it was going to rain, so they decided to see a movie.
"Have you guys ever seen Babbit act so nice?" Peter asked.
"My guess is he's really smitten by Grizleda," said Davy.

That's all I got

Lisa, you just made this story more exicting
The plot thickens now...

Though they tried, The Monkees couldn't seem to get into the movie, even Peter, who hated horror flicks didn't seem bothered as the Mummy appeared on the screen.
Al they could think about was how Grizelda was tearing down the strip that they knew so well to turn it into a more up-scale area.

When the guys walked out of the theater, they saw a police officer writing something down in his notebook, tore off a piece of paper, and stuck it on the monkeemobile's windshield.
"What seems to be the trouble officer?" Mike asked the policeman.
"You didn't pay the meter," said the officer.
"What meter?"Davy asked.
"This one."
The officer pointed to the parking meter that was standing next to the car.
"Wait a minute, that meter wasn't there went we parked the car," said Micky.
"Sure it wasn't someone put it there to annoy you," said the officer with a laugh.
When the officer left, the guys check out to see how much the ticket on the car was.
"25 dollars," said Mike.
"Say do you suppose Grizelda had anything to do with that meter?" asked Peter.
"It is her property, she can put a meter there if she wants to," sighed Micky.
"What are we going to do?"
"I'm guessing we pay the ticket," said Davy.
"No, about Babbit, should we tell him the truth about Grizelda?" asked Peter.
"You do a point Peter, Babbit has to find the truth somehow."
"I think we better keep quiet about this," said Mike.
"Yeah, suppose we say something and Babbit won't believe us," said Micky.
"Why don't we take a vote, said Mike, Who says we tell Babbit about Grizelda's true self?"
Davy and Peter raised their hands.
"Who says we dodn't tell Babbit?"
Mike and Micky raised their hands.
"Well, it's a tie.
"I know how we could break it," said Peter.
"How?" Davy asked.
Peter took a coin out of pocket.
"Heads we tell Babbit, tails we don't," he said.
Peter then toss the coin in the air and it landed in his hand.
He opened his palm and he and the guys saw the coin landed heads.
"Best two out of three?" asked Micky.

What will happen next?

Great Job Lisa

"What are we going to do?" asked Peter, when the guys returned to the pad.
"I don't know, this is one tough situation," said Mike.
"Yeah, if we tell Babbit, he won't believe us, and he'll kick us out," said Micky.
"And if we don't tell Babbit, not only will they tear the pad down, but Grizelda will break Babbit's heart," said Davy.
"Wait a minute fellas, said Mike, We're back to square one."
"You know you're right, said Davy We have to come up with a plan."
"But what?" asked Peter.
The guys sat around for awhile, but they couldn't come up with anything.
"Wait a minute, I think I have something," said Micky.
"What is it?" asked Davy.
"We better start packing and find a new place to live."

What will happen next?

Mickys411 (Laura)

It's ok Lisa
I got something...

"No cool it guys, said Mike, All we have to do is come up with a plan."
"What do you have in mind?" Peter asked.
"I don't know, but hopefully something will come to us soon."
The Monkees spent the entire day coming up with a plan to stop Grizelda and save the pad, but they couldn't think of anything.

The next day, while The guys were trying to come up with a plan, there was a knock at the door.
Davy answered it to find Babbit standing outside.
"Good Morning sir, what can we do for you?" Davy asked.
"Do mind if I come in, I have something to say," said Babbit.
"Sure."
Davy invited Babbit inside.
"Boys, I have some big news to tell you," said Babbit.
"What is it sir?" asked Mike.
"I'm going to meet Griddy tonight to confirm our deal, then I'm going to ask her to marry me."
"Marry?!" The Monkees said altogether.
"Yes, isn't that wonderful?"
"Yeah, it sure is," said Davy, pretending to be happy for the landlord.
"Congraulation sir," said Peter.
"Thanks, said Babbit getting up, I better get going to make reservations and get a ring.
See you later."
And Babbit left.
"Looks like we don't have much time left," said Micky.
"We're going to cet kick out of the pad for sure," said Peter.
"We gotta stop Babbit from proposng to the deal and marriage," said Davy.
"Fellas calm down, said Mike, We'll think of something."

The Monkees sat around thinking again, when there was another knock at the door.
This time, Mike answered it.
It was Grizelda.
"Grizelda, what brings you here?" asked Mike.
"I just came by to make sure Babbit has all the paper work he needs for our deal," said Grizelda.
"He how to go out for awhile," said Micky.
"Do you want to wait for him here?" Peter asked, who then earned an elboe in the stomach from Davy.
"I'm in a bit of a hurry, said Grizelda, By the way, to you mind if I use your phone?"
"Uh, sure," said Davy.
"We'll let you have privacy," said Mike as he and the other Monkees headed up the stairs.
When they closed the bedroom door, Grizelda made her call.
"Hell-o, Harold? Hi Sweetheart it's me Griddy baby," said Grizelda into the phone.
"Griddy baby?" the Monkees said at the same time.
The guys heard what was Grizelda was saying.
They crack the door opened a bit and tried to hear the rest of the conversation.
"Hun, the plan is working better than I thought," said Grizelda, That Babbit guys is actuclly falling in love with me."
"What's she saying about Babbit?" Peter asked.
"Shhh!" Mike went putting a finger to his lips.
The Monkees countinuted to listen.
"Now here's my plan, I'll get Babbit to giving me
his property, said Grizelda, Try to talk him in marriage,then he won't know what hit him.
I better get going, I'll met you tonight at the sliver chandlear at 7pm, love you to sweetit, bye."
Grizelda hung up the phone and left.
When she hung up, The Monkees headed back downstairs.
"I better get going now, thanks for letting me use the phone," said Grizelda as she headed out the door.
"Guys I think I have our plan," said Mike.

I'll have the end tommorrow
