Summary: "I don't believe in bad luck."


Micky staggered over to the couch, face buried in his hands.

Mike chuckled at the sight. "Bad day?"

"Awful," Micky mumbled. "You know those drumsticks I ordered from the music shop, that I had personalized?" He dug into his pocket, holding up a fragment.

"What happened?!"

"First, they spelled my name wrong," he replied. "They printed it as 'Mucky'. They don't offer refunds, either. Then, when I stormed out, I crashed into somebody going in, and I broke the stupid things!"

"Sounds like you had bad luck," Mike mused.

"I don't believe in bad luck."

"It sure believes in you."
