Once we were inside I tried to speak, but I couldn't find the words to express my self. Davy smiled at my espresion and I herd them all laugh slightly. Mike walked up to me and ruffled my hair playfully. "you ok kid?" I noded as I fixed my hair. "nothing like you thought huh?" I shook my head, my eyes still wide. We walked down the hall, Micky and Samantha in fron of us walking hand in hand. I smiled at the site, and was shocked after I realized that I was still clutching Davy's hand. I loosend the grip, but something inside made me take hold again, and Davy wasn't looking in my diraction but I thought I saw him smile, unseccesfuly trying to hide it from me. Peter passed us by, not very happy. THen I saw why, the sleve on his right amr was almost ripped off completely. Mike was still laughing at me. I laughed along, thinking how stupid I must have looked.

Me and Samantha sat on a sofa watching the guys and the crew hustling arounf getting ready for the show. "is it always this bad?" I asked. "usually, this isn't the worst" she said. "The police lines don't hold out sometimes and well, they end up running for their lifes" she chuckled. At that point I understood what happened this afternoon, when I first caught glimps of Davy. I didn't want to think what might have happened if he or any of them ever got caught.

We watched from back stage. I still could kick my slef for not knowing about these guys, the Monkees, before. It was almost imposible to hear the music, but I knew I liked what I herd, and saw. They were delightfull. Each one put out their all. At one time one would run back to the dressing room to change and came out to preform a solo peice. I felt so light headed, the afternoon has been so full and so groovy, unlike anything I ever experienced.

Mike introduced their last song for the night. "Randy Scous Git" ( i'm not sure if this is the way to say it). "well that's the last number, we got to go" Samantha said with disapointment. "aren't we going to hear the rest of it" "i wish, but if you want to get out alive we need to get into the car before they finish, and we have about 1 minute" We both ran down the hall. I stoped right before the door. "come on" she urged me. "go ahead" I called after her, she shruged her shoulders and got into the limo. I watched Mike, Peter, and Micky run by, both called "let's go!!"to me as I stood and watched. Davy stoped in front of me. He was grining and hufing trying to cathc his breath. "We got to got now" . "I can't" I said trying to form a smile. His butiful lips lost the smile. "DAVY GET IN HERE" mike was yelling at the top of his lungs, the aduence that was once seated in the theter found the limo and were racing twards it. I foced a demented smile, waving slowly to him, as Mike stuffed him into the car. I watched the long black car drive down and turn of to the main street followed by a dozen other cars. The crowds began to thin out and few ran after the suspecting band. I don't know how long I stood there, my eyes following the car even after it was out of site, i stood there. Even after all the people were gone, all remaind were chunks of paper which blew along the streets. I felt a chill, it was cool and windy, but that wasn't why. The cold was inside me, and I wraped my arms around myself trying to keep it out as I fought to hold back the tears forming inside. It was useless and I desided it was time to head home. to be continued
