Earth-1960

Laurie sat on the couch in her brother’s apartment, as a knock fell on the door. “Duncan, door!” she called but no one answered. “Duncan!” she said standing up from the couch and started to his room.
“Get it yourself Laurie!” Duncan yelled as the slightly opened door clamed shut.
“Lord, whats in the water here” she said feeling like her brother was no longer the warm gently guy that strolled for walks with Betty Sue Walker back home.

She walked to the door, to find the mailman handing her the mail. “There’s a mailbox” she said as the awkward young kid, obviously new on the job stared at her. “Umm…. Thanks” she said before closing the door. Why do the weird ones always like me? she asked herself as she flipped threw the mail, her eyes widened at one letter. “Oh God! Duncan!” she yelled in a state of happiness. “Johnny sent a letter!”

Just then in a bolt of light, Duncan came running out in his boxers. “Damnit!” he yelled sliding on the couch grabbing the letter from Laurie’s hand.
“Hey!” she protested.
“Shhh…..” he said and began to read it.

Dear Duncan, as promised I’ve written to you for the ninth time. I miss you, Mom, Dad, Laurie and everyone so much, and I still think it was a bad Idea for you to rip up that draft notice, but what can be done? I’m writing to inform you of me and Christopher’s recent promotion. You can now call us, Captain and Private Sweet. I have to say it is just as our name says… sweet. I can’t write anything else, I miss you both and hope this war ends soon. Sincerely Private Johnny Sweet.

Laurie smiled, “Private and Captain” she said.
“Yea, looks like their puppets of big brother now.” Duncan muttered, then looked to her. “Why don’t you go out? Like a club or something?”
“I wouldn’t know what to do” she stated as he got up and walked to his room, “then find something to do Laurie, you can’t just stay here.”
For once Duncan was right, even if it was just to get her out of the house. Laurie walked out of the apartment and down the hall. Unsure where to go, in the big city.

Wade sat on a country road Georgia there with his good old buddy Hendrix. Waving a carboard sign with the peace sign on it that says Woodstock or bust. seeing as it was a country road there where not many takers. so he just sat on the side of the road smoking a bud. he turns to Hendrix. '' hay man can you like play purple haze er something.'' Hendrix just lay there his paws under his chin and mumbles. '' your right man not even you could make licks like that maaaan ''

Moon was driving her Bug on a country road in Georgia, her radio was playing "Bobbie Mcgee" loud and the windows were down. In the distance she noticed a guy sitting on the side of the road, she started to slow down and read his sign, "Hey man hop in we're heading the same direction", she waved at him through the window.

'' groovy! '' wade sits up he opens the passenger side door '' come on Hendrix hup '' and shaggy dog hopped in the back seat wade tosses his back pack in the back and gets in '' eh thanks sis '' he adjusts his sun glasses. '' so like where are you crawling form''

Moon smiled, "No problem, oh I'm from Alabama originally but I left it in the dust months ago. You think you might be able to spot me some cash for gas man?", she looked at Hendrix, "Look at you aren't you just the cutest thing Hendrix". She scratched the dog behind the ear, "If you can't thats alright but I'm trying to save my money for the Wood Stock tickets you know what I mean". She started down the highway again, "So can I get a hit off that?".

After a few more days of traveling they finally made it to their destination. "Wow far out man I can't beleive we're here we should see if we can find a place to crash. Maybe get a job some where so we can get some cash and maybe score some tickets to Wood Stock", said Moon. She pulled over, "Hey I got a buddie that I met at a protest in the area so I'm gonna call him and see if we can crash at his pad", she went to the pay phone and dialed Jim Jett's number.
