The front door of the Monkees' Pad swings open and Davy jumps in with a loud "TA-DA!" Micky and Sam were engaged in a little lip locking before Davy's entrance and the couple quickly jumped to their feet.

"Hey guys! Uh, we were just...you know. And uh..." Micky said as he scratched the back of his neck in embarrassment. Jen, Peter and Mike walked in with their bags.

"It's okay Micky," said Jen as she dropped her bag by the door. "We've all got bad timing."

"So, how was the trip?" asked Micky. "Terrible," answered Davy as he flopped down on the couch. "We didn't even see anything."

"Well, except for that one crazy woman that stopped us on the road," said Peter as he opened the door to his room. He turned around to look at Jen who was still standing by the front door. "Coming Jen?" he asked with a smile.

"Oh, sure," she said as she picked up her bag. As she walked by Mike, she gave him a quick glance and met Peter at his doorway. He put his arm around her shoulders and led her into the room and closed the door behind them. Mike sighed and started to go upstairs.

"Ey Mike, where ya goin'?" asked Davy as he squirmed around on the couch to get comfortable.

"Oh, I'm gonna go unpack," answered Mike as he ascended the stairs and went into his room.

The next morning, Mike was sitting on the couch playing his guitar, Peter was in the kitchen cooking breakfast and Davy just came out of his room.

"Hey Davy? Is Jen up yet?" Peter asked as he opened a cupboard to get out a plate. "Yeah, she kicked me out of the room so that she could get dressed," replied Davy as he went out to the refrigerator for a drink. The bedroom door opened and Jen walked out and went into the kitchen.

"Morning Jen," said Peter as he kissed her cheek. "I made you breakfast before we had to head on out." Jen sat in a chair at the kitchen table.

"Where are you goin'?" she asked with a yawn. Peter went to the table and set down a plate of food in front of Jen. "Davy and I have some business to take care of in town."

"We better get goin," said Davy as he headed for the front door. "I'll see you guys later!"

Peter and Jen kissed one last time. "I'll see you in a bit, okay?" he said as he patted Jen on her head. He and Jen began blowing kisses to each other until he was out the door. She noticed Mike sitting all alone on the couch with his guitar. She picked up her plate and walked over to the couch to join him.

"Morning, Mike," she said as she sat down next to him. "Morning," he replied. They sat in silence as Jen began eating her breakfast. Neither one of them knew what to say next.

"Is it good?" Mike asked. "Yeah, sure. Want some?" Jen asked. Mike nodded his head and tried to situate himself to face her but the guitar got in his way.

"Here. I'll just feed you," said Jen. Mike smiled as she forked up some of the egg and put it to his mouth. "Say 'ah'!" He opened his mouth and Jen fed him the food. She took a piece of bacon and held it between her fingers. Mike opened his mouth and she fed him the strip of bacon. Jen started to laugh.

"You know how silly this looks?" she asked as she started to eat again. "I feel like I'm babying you or something."

"Will you?" he asked. Jen gave him a puzzling look. "What do you mean will I? What are you talking about?"

"Well how 'bout this then. Will you be my baby?" he said. Jen quickly rose and went to the kitchen sink. Mike set down his guitar on the couch and followed after her. Jen stared out the window. Mike stood next to her and leaned on the counter. "Well?"

"What kind of question was that? You know I can't--"
"I know but I've been having these feelings for you. I've always had them, they never went away."

Jen closed her eyes and sighed. Mike came up behind her and put his arms around her waist.

"Mike--"
"Shh. Come on Jen. You can't hide the fact that you're thinking about me too. I can see it in your eyes. And the way you were acting on that road trip."
"That's true. But I'm stuck right now. I have feelings for both of you."
"I was thinking last night and I figured out a way that you can have both of us."

"Mike! I can't believe you just said that!"
"Well it's true, isn't it? You want both of us."

He's right, she thought. I do want both of them. But if Peter ever finds out he's going to think I did it just for the sex and that there were no feelings. But I do have feelings for Mike. But I don't want to hurt Peter. Maybe we could keep it a secret for a while.

"Oh, we're just talkin," answered Mike as he sat in a chair next to Jen. Micky goes out the back door without a word.

"Mike, I'll have to think about it," Jen said as she got up from her seat and started towards her room. Mike got up from his chair.

One hour later, Mike was in his room lying on the bed with his eyes closed. The door slowly opens and he puts his head up. Jen was at the doorway.

Jen closed the door and then walked over to Mike and gave him a deep and passionate kiss.

"It took a while but I thought about it. I do want both of you in my life, but it's going to be hard having you both at the same time," she said as she sat on the bed. Mike began stroking her hair.

"Don't worry. We'll make it work out," he said as he took Jen's face in his hands and led it to his. Their lips met once again. Jen lay down on the bed and Mike situated himself over her. (Okay I'll stop there. Don't want to get too much into detail! Or as Micky said "Not now, it's a family show!" Use your imagination.)

Minutes later...Jen and Mike were under the covers. She was lying on her side and Mike had his arm draped over her.

"Mike? What if Micky heard something?" Jen asked. "Don't worry so much about it. It'll work out fine," Mike whispered back. Jen rolled over to face him.

"I think I better go downstairs now," she said. She gave him a long kiss and then got out of bed to get dressed. When she was fully clothed again she walked over to the door and opened it. She looked back at Mike and smiled.

"I'll see you around," she said and gave him a little wave. She went out and closed the door behind her. Mike closed his eyes and sighed.

I finally have Jen back, he thought. Maybe not all to myself, but at least I have her.

Later that evening Davy, Micky, Peter and Jen were in the living room watching a movie. Peter had his right arm around Jen's shoulders and Davy was next to her. Micky was sitting in a chair next to the couch. Mike came out of his room and went downstairs.

"Hey Mike. Have a nice nap?" asked Micky without taking his eyes off the television screen. "Yeah, I did actually," answered Mike as he went into the kitchen for a drink. He walked back into the living room with a glass of water and stood behind the couch that Peter and Jen were sitting on.

"What are you watching?" Mike asked and took a sip of his water. "It's this really scary movie about vampires," answered Davy. A woman on the screen screamed and the four of them jumped up. Mike shrugged his shoulders and went out to the back porch. Jen turned her head and watched him go. Peter smiled and said "I guess he couldn't take it." She smiled back and turned her attention to the tv set once again.

Mike was standing outside staring out at the ocean. He took his last sip of water and set the glass down on a nearby table. He found a towel lying by the porch and threw it over his shoulder. He then climbed to the side of the porch and went down to the beach to walk around. He found a place to put the towel down in the sand and sat on top of it.

Back inside, the movie had just ended and Micky got up to turn off the tv. "Boy I'm gonna have nightmares tonight!" he said as he started to go upstairs. "I'll see you all in the morning."

"Goodnight Micky!" Peter, Jen and Davy said as they slowly headed toward their room.

"Hey, where'd Mike go?" asked Davy as he opened the door to the bedroom. "He probably went down to the beach," said Peter as he led Jen into the room before him. "I don't think he'll be sleeping anymore tonight after that long nap he had all day," said Jen.

Two hours later, Jen lay in bed wide-awake next to Peter, who was out like a light.

I wonder what Mike is doing, she thought. Maybe I should go see him. Peter's fast asleep and I thought I heard Davy snoring a while ago. I could sneak out for a while.

Jen slowly climbed out of bed and tiptoed to the door. She looked back and held her breath to make sure the other two hadn't wakened up. Silence, except for Davy's light snoring. She opened the door slowly to avoid any creaking and exited the room.

Out on the beach, Mike was curled up in a ball on the towel. Jen put her hand on Mike's shoulder and bent down over him.

"Mike? What are you doing out here?" she whispered in his ear. He opened his eyes and sat up.

"I was just thinking about something," he said. Jen sat down on Mike's lap. "You look cold. Here, let me warm you up," she said as she put her arms around him.

"What time is it?" Mike asked as he rested his head on Jen's shoulder. "It's around one in the morning," she answered. "It's cold out here, Mike. Let's go inside." She started to get up but Mike held her legs down.

"Stay," he said as Jen settled back down and he put his head on her shoulder. "I just want the two of us to be alone. We can't risk having one of the guys waking up in the middle of the night and catching us in the house."

"Well they can catch us out here," replied Jen. Mike lifted his head up off Jen's shoulder and looked into her eyes. "But they can't hear us from out here," he said. Jen smiled and started kissing Mike.

"Don't be so sure about that," she said as she pushed Mike down onto the towel and lay on top of him. (You know what happens next...)

The next morning, Jen found herself in a bed. She sat up and looked around the room. Davy was standing in front of a mirror combing his hair. He noticed Jen sitting up in bed from the mirror.

"Morning Davy," she said with a yawn. I must've snuck back in here after I saw Mike last night, this morning, or whatever, she thought in her head.

"I think Peter is making you breakfast again," said Davy as he put his comb down, looked at himself in the mirror, and picked up the comb again.

"That's good," she said with another yawn. "You look tired," said Davy. "What happened? That movie kept you awake all night?"

"I guess you could say that," replied Jen as she lay back down on the bed. "Are you guys going somewhere today?"

"Ah, what's this? Breakfast in bed?" said Jen as she slowly sat up in bed. Peter smiled and put the tray in Jen's lap.

"Morning, cupcake." Peter kissed Jen's cheek. "We have to go and play now. We'll see you later."

Davy left the room and Peter headed for the door. He stopped at the doorway and turned around to blow kisses to Jen.

"Bye Pete!" she said as she returned his kisses. He went out and closed the door. Peter reached the front door where Mike was waiting for him to leave so he could lock the door.

"Is Jen sick?" Mike asked. "No, I just wanted to surprise her with breakfast in bed," answered Peter as he went out the door. "Oh," said Mike as he closed the door and locked it. Peter stopped and turned to Mike. "But she did look a little worn out." Then he went off to the Monkeemobile. "Ohhh..." smiled Mike, knowing that he had something to do with it.
