Chapter 1: Bette Nesmith Grahm....Toxic?


"Mom, I need Liquid Paper for school!" Cried Elizabeth Smith
"We don't have any dear, just White Out!" Elizabeths mother Anne called back.

Elizabeth looked at her half packed backpack. She refused to use White Out ever since she learned that The maker of White Out pratically stole the recipie from Bette Nesmith Grahm, the real maker of Liquid Paper, White Out, Corection Fluid, whatever you want to call it. She decited to take a drive down to the neaby office supply store and pick up a coupple bottles. Even if it was just a short drive, she took her favroate cd, Headquaters, the monkees first real album.

"You told me you never said you told me!!" She sang with Michael Nesmith as his voice rang through the car speakers.

When she pulled into the parking spot, she waited for the song to end before turning off the engine. All througout the shopping trip, she thought about Bette, making Liquid Paper in her own home, Mike either helping her or doing his own thing. She went straight home after purchacing the Corection Fluid, not stopping at the gas station to put fuel in her mothers car which it so badly needed.

"You didn't stop at the gas station did you?" Anne asked
"No, sorry mom, completley forgot about it" Was Elizabeths excuse.

Because tommrow was the first day of School, she made sure to get a good nights rest. In the morning, she threw on a pair of black pants along with her red Monkees shirt. The day was normal as could be, finally being a seinor she did find it wierd to be talking about her graduation day, but it passed by lunch time.

"Hey Lizzie, I bet that Liquid Paper will turn your tounge white" Her friend Julia laughed.
"Are you kidding? This stuff it highly toxic, it could kill me" Elizabeth cried.
"Your not eating it, just putting it on your tounge" Julia laughed.

Elizabeth tried explaining to her that even if she puts it on her tounge it might kill her, but she still refused to believe it. Just so she would shut up, Elizabeth put the correction fluid on her tounge. Even though there was a bottle of water nearby, before she could even take a drink to wash it down, she fell off the lunch bench and landed in the grass.

"I think I killed my best friend" Julia cried

Thanks,


Chapter 2: Once a Monkee, Always a Monkee


~_~_~1967~_~_~_~_

They were finally a group, a real group, not just some T.V show for the kids, which they also liked, but now they didn't feel gulty about the music. They did have some good songs, and once and if they got time they would re record every single one again.

"Hey Mike, do you think you could help me with this song?" Micky asked
"Wish I could Mick, but I gotta go home, my mothers here" Mike srugged. "Bring it to the set tommrow, I'll look at it then"
"Deal, thanks Mike " Micky called as he walked out the door.

Mike managed to drive home before his mother arrived, which he thought as odd. His mom was already on time. Latley, she rarley had time on her hands since she ran her own company, which was doing verry well.

"Phyllis, has mom called?" Mike asked
"No, not since this morning" She called from the kitchen.
"I hope everythings okay" Mike thought.

Mikes mother didn't arrive untill 5pm. He went to the airport to pick her up and saw that she had brought company, but he didn't recgonize the girl. She looked nice, with brown hair, blue eyes, the only thing odd about her was she wans't wearing normal clothes, she had black pants with a red monkee shirt on, they never made a red monkee shirt, only the white ones you got from the tours.

"Hey mom" Mike smiled "I see you brought company
"Yes Mike, I hope you don't mind, this is Elizabeth Smith" Bette introuduced
"Uhh, Lizzie" She managed to utter.

It didnt' take a genus to figure out that this girl was a fan. He was polite to her, giving her an autograph picture, and when they got home, Phyllis gave her a nice sky blue dress to wear.

"Where did you find this girl Mom?" Mike asked when Lizzie was changing.
"Well, I was just about to leave for the airport when she was just lying there by the car, she said she had no family at this time, which I thought was odd, but I ignored it and let her come with me" Bette explained.

Even Mike was puzzled by the 'Not at this Time' Remark, but who knows, she could have gotten into a fight with her family, or even ran away from home. The more time she spent at the Nesmith household, the more normal she got, by normal I mean by speaking and answering questions.

"So where did you get that shirt you were wearing?" Phyllis asked
"Target it was on sale too" Lizzie explained "I mean uhh, a relitave made it"
"Target?"Mike asked "Is that like a store from your hometown?"
"Yea," Lizzie said with a nervous smile "You could say that"

The next morning, Mike gave Lizzie a treat by letting her come to work with him. Mike gave her a pep talk on the way there, reminding her that Davy, Micky and Peter were just regular guys, just like a mother, father, or a friend.

"Mike, whos this your sister?" Micky asked when he arrived at the 'pad'
"You know I dont have a sister" Mike said. " My mother brought her over, just so happends shes a fan,"
"Every single girl in the world is a fan of us Mike" Davy joked

Mike remembered the song Micky needed help on, so while they were helping each other, Lizzie hung out with Peter and Davy.

"So Lizzie, you still in school?" Davy asked
"Actually, I graduated last year" She lied
"Really? Any idea of what you want to do?" Peter questioned
"Well, I've been writing short stories" Lizzie explained
"So you thinking about being an author or writer for a sitcom?" Davy asked
"Well, I have been writing stories about the monkees" Lizzie srugged "Just for fun"

Davy looked at Peter, who looked at Davy and smiled they asked to read some, but, Lizzie rememberd that all her stories were at home...in 2008.

"We'd love to read some" Peter smiled
"Well, I dont have them with me, but I do remember one plot was of Peter, and he had to get some money to fly home because of a family emergency" I said
"Whats the family emergency?" Peter asked
"I never figured that out, I had writers block" I laughed
"That sounds like a good eppisode"Davy smiled

Just as Mike and Micky were finishing the song, they looked over only too see Lizzie, laughing and smiling with Peter and Davy. Mike couldn't help but feel a little rejected...
