One I was at this local fast-food resturant in Pasedena, California. I was
hanging around, getting ready to walk home, when a car drove up.
"Hey! Can you get my hat?" yelled a guy. He and 4 other people were sitting in
the car. It was a red dune buggy with THE MONKEES printed on the side in the
shape of a guitar.I ran over to pick up the green wool hat.
"Why are you wearing a hat in the middle of summer in California?" I asked.
"It's my trademark," he said, as I handed him his hat.
"Thanks."
"On the side of the car,it says the monkees.Who are they?" I asked them.
"That's us." said the one who was driving."I'm Micky.The one back there with
the hat is Mike. This is Davy sitting next to me. And Peter's back there." He said.
"My name's Kathryn. Everyone calls me Katie." I told them.
"Nice to meet you." said Davy.
"What do you do?" I asked.
"We sing and have our own tv show," said Davy.
"Oh,wow!" I said.
"Want to come to the set sometime?" asked Peter.
"Sure!" I said.I gave them my number.
"We'll call you sometime." they called as they drove off.
A few days later, I was listening to the radio.Thos song came on.It was called
She Hangs Out.The song made me think of a few days before. That was the day I
was at the fast-food resturant and I met the Monkees. Then the dj said it was a
Monkees song!
I was humming the song after it went off the radio, since I couldn't remember
all the words.Then the phone rang. "Hello?" I said."Hi,Katie?" said a voice.A few days later, I was listening to the radio.Thos song came on.It was called

"Yes?"
"This Mickey Dolenz. You met me a few days ago.Remember?"
"Oh!Yes!I just heard one of yor songs on the radio.It made me think of you." I
told him.
"That's great. Hey,we need an extra on our show.Want to be it? You would only
have a few lines, but-"I cut him off.
"Of course!That would be fabulous!" I cried.
"That's the spirit. We'll be by to pick you up in 15 minutes.Just tell me where
you live." he said
I gave him my address.Then I hung up and went to wait outside.I was so exited!
They arrived soon after.I climbed in the backseat next to Peter.
About 10 minuets later, we were in L.A.
We drove to the set and they gave me a guest pass.
They took me to a room marked "Set 3: The Monkees"I walked inside.
Davy showed me where to sit. I sat down in a chair over in the corner.I was handed a script. My lines were highlighted with a yellow highlighter. I studied my lines. There wasn't that many. I read thm over and over until I was sure I knew them.Then I decided to watch the episode. The director(whose name I have forgotten) was very mean. He yelled a lot.That is because it is his job. One of the girls messed up and he yelled so much that she started crying.Maybe I shouldn't be a movie star after all, I thought. My mind changed when I thought of the Hollywood walk of fame,Hollywood and my friends, the Monkees.Then the director called me on.
