(We open with the tense stand-off between the Monkees and Zero. A group of burly stagehands appear behind him, carrying rope.)

Stagehand #1: Are these the guys you wanted us to take care of?

Zero: Just the shorter boy and the curly-locked one. The taller one and the two women will be coming with me.

Emma: Sorry, you're not my type.

Lauren: Or mine.

Zero: (He strokes Emma's chin) Charming little girl. I think she'll be a rather plesant addition to my home. And her little friend (looks Lauren over) will make an attractive handmaiden.

*Lauren's fists clench at her sides.*

Mike: Get OFF of them! (He charges at Zero, but one of the men grabs him and yanks his arms behind his back) Ow! Hey, not so rough, buddy!

Emma: Mike!

Zero: (Goes to Peter, who huddles as far back in his cage as he can) And this one...this one has something I've searched for. This is the one with the innocent soul. (He puts his hand on Peter's chest, stroking it; Peter shrinks back)

Peter: (Whimpers) Leave me alone!

Mike: Don't you DARE touch him, you bastard!

Davy: Leave 'im alone!

Zero: I wouldn't worry about him if I were you, Mr. Jones. (The stagehands close in around Davy, Lauren, and Micky) I'd be more concerned about yourselves.

Micky: Back off!

Zero: Finish the younger boys off. Have fun. I'll be back for the others. (He disappears in his puff of smoke from "Devil and Peter Tork")

Mike: (Struggles) Man, I wish he'd drop the special effects exit. It smells bad and eats up our budget.

Micky: Yeah, I've got a bad enough headache without sucking up his bad air, too. Emma: (She get to her feet) Guys...

Mike: Damn it! We've gotta get loose!

Davy: No kidding, mate.

Stagehand: (Takes a swipe at Micky) So, who should we take care of first, the runt or Toothpick Legs?

Micky: *shakes a fist* Watch it, pal! *slightly winces*

Davy: You don't look so tough, eithah!

Stagehand 2: You'd be surprised.

Mike: Guys, we don't have any choice! (He closes his eyes. There's a blue light around him and the man. When it subsides, the man is tied up with his own rope, and Mike is hurrying over to Pete's cage with his wrench) Use your powers!

*Davy and Micky close their eyes. When the light subsides, the man taunting them is also tied up.*

Mike: (As more stagehands enter) Guys, looks like company! (Grins at the others) You two and Lauren hold them off. Em and I will get Pete loose.

Emma: Oh my goodness...

*Micky, Lauren, and Davy form a wall to block the men from the others.*

(Emma joins Mike at Peter's cage as "Zor and Zam" begins. Mike bangs furiously at the cage with the wrench.)

Mike: (Over the music) It ain't workin'!

Micky: *over the music* Make it work! We're getting tired over here!

Mike: Imagine them as somethin'! Turn them into somethin'! Attack them! Hit them with pies! Just get rid of them!

Emma: (She tries a screwdriver with no luck) This is crazy!

Peter: Hurry! It's getting cramped in here!

*Davy and Micky close their eyes and concentrate. Slowly, one by one, the men just start dropping.*

Emma: (Eyes widen) Holy...

Mike: (Looks over his shoulder as he uses a blowtorch) Interestin'.

*Lauren just watches with her jaw dropped.*

Mike: (As the music ends) Man, I don't know WHAT to do. Pete, you're stuck. This thing ain't comin' apart. (He looks over his shoulder) Mick, Dave, how's it comin'?

Micky: It's coming!

Mike: Good, 'cause WE could use some help. This thing ain't budgin', and Zero could be back any minute.

*The last man drops, and the trio join the others.*

Davy: Okay, now wot?

Mike: Somethin' tells me this ain't any ordinary cage. Nothin' seems to dent it. (Sighs) We've got to get away from Zero and finish our gig. (Looks at the others) Maybe if we used the powers all at the same time...

Micky: That might just work...

Mike: Let's ALL do it. Girls too. Even if they just close their eyes, maybe it'll help.

Emma: What do you mean?

Mike: Just do it! We don't have much time left!

Peter: Please!

Emma: (Doubtful) All right... (She closes her eyes. The boys and Lauren do too, even Peter. There's six blue lights around the cage. When it subsides, the cage is gone and Peter sits on the floor.)

Peter: It's gone! I'm out! (He grabs the other three boys in a huge hug) Thanks!

Lauren: That was...weird...

Peter: Thanks to you too, ladies! (He hugs Emma and Lauren)

Emma: Oof! (She grins through Peter's arms) No problem, Peter. I just wish I knew what we did...

Lauren: ...You're welcome...

Mike: We have to get down stairs and finish our gig, not to mention it might be good to be out of this room before Zero returns and tries somethin' else and the stagehands come to. I don't think we'll be gettin' another gig here.

Peter: I hope not! Not somewhere owned by the Devil!

Micky: A devil-less gig would be greatly appreciated.

Mike: Let's go, folks. (Turns to the girls) We'll explain everything when we get home.

Lauren: I hope so.

(Mike leads everyone out of the room. Cut to Peter and Davy's room in the Pad. Emma, Lauren, and all four boys troop into the room. Mike holds his gavel.)

Mike: Hear thee, hear thee, I call this meeting of the household to order. We have something of grave importance to discuss with you ladies.

Emma: (Settles on Peter's bed, between Mike and Peter) I'm assuming this has to do with that little light show back at the nightlclub.

Micky: *leans closer to Davy* Got another gavel ready?

*Davy nods once.*

Mike: (Points the gavel at Micky and Davy) I heard that.

Peter: Girls, we're...not normal.

Emma: We know THAT.

Lauren: Yeah.

Mike: We have powers.

Emma: Is that what that Zero guy wants?

Mike: I don't know. I don't even know if HE knows we have them.

Peter: (Frowns; looks like he's going to cry) No, what Zero wants is ME.

Micky: Aw, Pete... *leans over and wraps an arm around him*

Mike: It's a long story, but Zero has already tried gettin' to Pete once. He got Peter to trade his soul for a harp. We were able to win it back in court, but it looks like Zero hasn't given up yet.

Emma: I'd ask if you were kidding, but...

Mike: But you saw it tonight. (Frowns) I don't know why he went after you though, darlin'. (Makes a face) Guess he saw a chick and thought he could just take her.

Emma: I'd rather take him back to Hell and make sure he stays there.

Peter: It's like we told you guys when you first moved in. We're weirdness magnets.

Mike: We think it's because of the powers, but we ain't sure.

Emma: Mike...when the cage disappeared, I saw six blue lights.

Mike: (Frowns) I had my eyes closed.

Emma: I peeked for a moment.

Mike: Then there's more people who can do this.

Emma: I think...those lights came from US. (Indicates her and Lauren) Lauren and me.

Lauren: I was afraid you'd say that.

Mike: Well, they had to come from SOMEWHERE.

Emma: I propose we find out.

Lauren: Why us?

Emma: We were the only ones in the room besides the guys.

Peter: (Wails) I just want to go somewhere where there aren't any devils! Somewhere where we won't get into any trouble!

Mike: (Chuckles) Are we gonna dream ourselves over the rainbow?

Micky: Could be fun.

Peter: Actually Mike, that's a good idea! Let's go to a fantasy world, with princes and dragons and unicorns and everything! Zero will never find us there!

Mike: I dunno about that...

Emma: Actually...I like that idea. Have you guys ever tried using your Imagination Power to travel?

Mike: Not really. I haven't personally. I try not to use it too much at all.

Emma: How about the rest of you?

Peter: Just across town. I don't want people to see it!

Micky: Not travel, but I've used it for other things.

Emma: Davy?

Davy: *shrugs* I've used it occasionally. Couldn't 'urt.

Emma: Maybe...we could go into our imaginations. Create an imaginary land and actually BE in it.

Mike: Wha?

Davy: *jerks a thumb at Micky* With 'is imagination? I don't think that's bloody safe.

Micky: Hey!?

Emma: It'll be all six of us. We'll make sure it's not TOO harmful.

Davy: You don't KNOW 'is imagination.

Micky: Watch it, Dave.

Emma: It'll be the six of us running around with unicorns. What could possibly go wrong?

Mike: Where do I begin?

Davy: Evil things jumping out at us at every cornah!

Micky: *shakes a fist* I'm gonna give you an evil thing in moment here, Dave, if you don't knock it off!

Emma: Guys, don't kill each other, ok? (Sighs) Why don't we just do it?

Mike: (Puts the gavel on a beside table) If we can.

Emma: Mike, you saw us get Peter out of that cage, and Lauren and I saw you take out those stagehands and turn you and Davy back into humans. I'm sure this should be a piece of cake!

Mike: (Mutters) Yeah, a piece of rock cake...

Emma: (Elbows him, then) Ok, everyone get together on the beds.

Micky: *grins* C'mere, babe! *grabs Lauren around the waist * pulls her to him*

Lauren: Watch the hands, mister.

Emma: Ok, when we're totally comfortable (glares at Micky and Lauren), but not too comfortable, I want you all to clear your minds of all thoughts.
