Stevie pops toast in the toaster and pours herself tea. She butters the toast and walks over to the telly, sitting down on the couch setting her tea and food on the coffee table. She picks off her notebook and starts writing. Goes back and forth for a few hours erasing and re writing. Mouthing the words to herself. 'Slowly I walk through the gently falling rain'. She speaks it, not sings. She can't seem to get the tone of the song to match the pitch of her voice. 'And I know that I, will never pass this way again" She sets the books down. Writes a title on the top of the page "The Crippled Lion'. Sips her tea which is now cold from sitting there for four hours.
"Oh!!" picks up the books quickly and writes 'Never wondering why. Tear drops chafing my eyes.' Closes it and reaches over to put it in her purse so Mick won't go through it like he always does. She clicks on the telly and watches and episode of The Monkees. Laughs along at Micky absurd jokes and Peters fake crying. It's now 5:30 pm. Mick comes home and stumbles in the door.
Stevie "Where did you go?"
Mick "Listen love" his british accent is slurred. "don't worry 'bout it"
Stevie just glares at him. She's really pissed off. She stands up. "Well we should start going if we want to make it to the party on time."
Mick looks at her up and down "You're going dressed like that?"
Stevie looks down at herself "I always wear this"
He scoffs and wake to the fridge grabbing a beer "Thought you would look more presentable for George Harrison"
Stevie mumbles while walking to the door "thought you'd look more presentable for George Harrison too" mimics his accent.
Mick looks up at her quickly "what did you say?
Stevie "Nothing, and you should put that beer away. I already know you're going to get drunk at his house."
Mick looks at her with a not very nice face "I will drink this beer and then we will go"
Stevie just looks at him waiting for him to finish.

Time passes and they arrive at the party. George Harrison and his wife Pattie Boyd are hosting. Lindsey Buckingham, Christine and John McVie are all there already. Stevie and Mick were late thanks to Mick's urgent beer sipping. George comes to the door and greets them "Hey Stevie! Come in come in!" He walks into the house and to the dinning area where everyone is. "Everyone! This is Stevie. You already know Mick but she's the new singer for their band. Was on their recent album eh?"Stevie smiles. "Here we have Peter, his girlfriend Stella" Peter waves, acting shy.
Stevie nods "The monkees"
Stella remembers her from some where but doesn't say anything just yet.
George "Davy Jones. The baby of the group."
Davy waves and smiles "Cherrio darlin'"
George "Micky Dolenz. What am I doing- you seem to know them! Anyways. Thought you guys would like to meet. Chat about!" Stevie smiles "Thank you George" Mike Nesmith walks into the room with a beer in hand. A Texas brew. "Hey Peter can ya pass me one of those-" He looks at Stevie who's just taking a seat down next to Mick who's already pouring himself another drink. Mike quickly rushes over to where Stevie is "Well well, who's this lovely lass George. Don't think you've introduced me"
George "Or sorry Mike"
Mickey "Stevie Nicks I think??" He looks at Mike "I've heard her songs. She's a doll"
Mike "She writes songs??" Mikes sits down right next to her. "Hello Stevie, i'm Mike Nesmith"
Stevie blushes and nods "I know"
Mick groans and rolls his eyes. Looks a Lindsey "her favourite monkee" Lindsey isn't paying attention because he's starring at Stevie. Mike looks at her and smirks "I'm your favourite monkee huh? What an honour your majesty" Stevie chuckles a bit. "Busted. it's true". She's used to meeting famous people at this point but she's freaking out on the inside. Stella gets up to the washroom. Stevie looks at Peter. Mike isn't looking at Peter, is just admiring her face.
Mike "you're gorgeous y'know" Stevie is caught off guard but looks at him once he says that "Oh thank you" She smiles wide and the apples of her cheeks blush.
Mick is talking loudly with Micky "That Stella girl, totally stellar. I would bring her home tonight if y'know what I mean" He winks at Micky. Peter hears him and gets all defensive with his soft baby voice "Hey, you guys shouldn't say that. She's human, not to be tossed around". Mick looks at Peter very intimidating. The same way he looks at Stevie. "Okay mummy." Laughs it off and pours another drink. Stevie elbows him and mumbles "Mick really? Tone it down" Mick looks at her "Now that's a good porno, Stevie and Stella. We could watch it live boys. Throw Pattie in there too. I do like my women mature like her" George is in the other room so he doesn't hear. Davy and Lindsey are just like um okay? Micky "Throw Mike in there too!!" He says that a bit to loud and awkwardly laughs. Hinting that he likes Mike.
Mike "Mick? You're dating Stevie. That's no way to treat a woman." He gets up and takes Stevie's hand. Stevie doesn't say anything because she doesn't want to start fighting with a drunk Mick in public. Mike takes her to the living area and sits on the couch. Peter walks over. Stella sees Peter and Mike there so sits on Peters lap. She looks at Stevie. "Did you go to Thomas Jefferson High School?? Class of 66'??"
Stevie looks at her like how do you know that? "Um yeah... I did"
Stella "Oh my god! Me too! We had biology together! I remember you were in the choir and I was in the band. I was so jealous of your singing voice. And when you and Tommy won prom queen and king."
Stevie's smiles a bit "Yeah Tommy. I was in his band." Peters smiling because she never really got along with any of the band members aside from Mike. The shy couple.
Mike "A popular girl huh? I can see why. I'm sure you had all the boys coming for you. This Tommy guys is lucky"
Peter "Someone has been swooned" Looks at Stella. She smiles "Wow, that's really cool. I don't remember anyone I graduated with"
Mick stumbles in the room. He's already had more drinks. Grabs Stevie's arm harshly and pulls her up "we're going home"
Stevie pulls her arm back to get out of his "Don't grab me like that. You're drunk"
Mick "Well I want to go home. And you don't want me to drive do you?"
Stevie sighs. Looks down at Mike and Peter and Stella. I'm sorry.. I have to go- i'll-" Looks at Mick going out to the car- "i'll see you later. Thank you George !!!" She runs out the door and Mike just stares at the door as she leaves. Dumbfounded by her beauty but confused why she's with such an asshole like Mick.
