We now move on to Harrods, where the "couple" was currently in a shopping trip of sorts. "After this, we shall proceed to my lair in Epping Forest. Would you like that?" Dahlia said as she decided to buy a pocket watch. "I'd love to." George replied, still under the spell. "Excellent!" Dahlia replied. "Mm-hmm." George nodded.

It wasn't long until the other Beatles entered the department store, and with a gut feeling that a showdown was on its way, they went to look for some items that could function as makeshift weapons. "I'm not one who advocates for killing, but I've got a strong urge to kill...

Meanwhile, George (who was beginning to have second thoughts about the "relationship") had just managed to free himself from Dahlia's grasp by telling her to watch the swans for a moment. Luckily, he soon spotted an approaching fan and went straight to greet her with a hug, to which she excitedly returned.

"I'm so happy to see you, Georgie! You're my favourite Beatle!" The fan said afterwards. "Likewise, love. Thank you!" George smiled. He then said, "If ye don't mind me asking, what's your name?" The fan replied, "I don't mind it at all. My name's Wendy." George replied, "How veddy nice! So,...

If I Fell 14

The hours wore on for the Beatles, and there was no way of telling how much time had passed in their little prison. It could have been the next morning, or afternoon, or the next evening. But as the Beatles hadn’t slept at all last night, and all four were beginning to feel their eyelids getting heavy, they decided it might as well be night. There was no other way to measure time in here then by sleeps. But none of them wanted to drift off, not when they had so little time left.
Paul still insisted they would find a way out of here. “Someone will find us. Or we’ll find a way out we haven’t...

It was cold in the gloomy basement, and dark. And the Beatles were all so hungry, and thirsty, and bored. There was absolutely nothing in their little corner, save for the dripping end of a pipe that could prolong their lives a little bit, leaking a tiny amount of water into their prison. It wasn’t enough to satisfy any of them, though. And sooner or later, they were going to need food. And while there might be an accidental source of water in here, there was no way to get food.
How could they have been so wrong about their girlfriends? Now that the boys looked back on it, they could think...

“Brilliant, Susan!” cried Jenna, as the three girls and one dog got off the bus, just a little ways from the best hotel in the city. “How did you know to come here?”
Susan blushed. “I sort of – hitched a ride with the Beatles when they came here. It was the best way to get to meet them. Only it didn’t work,” she added sadly. “Paul didn't – he didn't talk to me – but it wasn't his fault! I sort of – forget myself around him,” she admitted, brown-haired head downcast.
“Did you try writing Paul a letter?” Emma interjected here. “I don’t think you need to tell him...

Emma leaned out over the airstrip fence, peering anxiously at the runway. The Beatles were supposed to be leaving town today, but she hadn’t seen any sign of them. It wasn't the first time they hadn't appeared when they were supposed to on this tour, either. The Beatles had never shown up to their fans' meet-and-greet the night before. Emma and the other fans had waited for hours, finally dissolving into despair when it became clear that the Beatles weren’t coming. Some girls had cried, and others had screamed their disapproval, and others had tried to push their way forward to see if the...

The Beatles stopped in the doorway, a little surprised, but not very. Girls had gotten past security to see them before. Just this afternoon they had found a girl in their car boot, after all.
This girl, at least, wasn’t screaming, but looked at them with a pretty smile. Her fair-skinned face was made up like an actress’s and her shiny black hair fell to her shoulders before coming back up in a flip, held back by a red headband. She had on a red-and-blue dress that showed off her slender figure beautifully.
“There you are,” she said. “I’ve been waiting for you.” She spoke as though...

“Nice girls, these fans of ours,” said Paul. “But...”
“Good of them to show us they care and all,” Ringo agreed. “But...”
“And they buy all our records,” George reminded them. “We’d be in trouble without them. But sometimes I think they’re going to wind up smothering us if they keep this up.”
As one, the four boys nodded.
They were lounging around their hotel room, their suit jackets and ties hung up on the backs of chairs and light fixtures and similar, and the Beatles themselves were reclining on the couch and the rug and the bench for the piano that came with their...

Susan Leigh had planned this all perfectly. She would slip into the boot of the Beatles’ car while everyone else was distracted, while the Beatles were running away from all her fellow fans and they tried to catch the Beatles by chasing them. She would stow away to their hotel with them, hidden by the instruments and luggage in the back. And then when the boot was opened, and the Beatles found her, she would climb out and face her beloved boys, and she would look deep into Paul’s dreamy eyes and say....
“Eee! Paul!! Huminaminama....”
The Beatles stared at her. Susan twisted her fingers...

The airport in Emma’s hometown was completely packed, leaving no doubt in anyone’s mind as to who was coming there. Only one band could attract such a large, devoted crowd. Many of the girls there squealed and pushed forward to be closer to the barrier, hoping to touch her beloved boys as they arrived.
It was a bright, sunny afternoon, and everyone could see the plane come in as it circled low in the sky, some girls even fancying they could see the boys waving through the windows. A great cheer rose from the crowd. The plane touched down, and four young lads with their hair wonderfully,...

Going Back To Yesterday, part 12

posted by Rubyrings

July 10, 1957. Just two days left to get Paul and John together. And probably less, I reminded myself, since I didn’t know what time of day tomorrow my app would suck me back into my own time. Tomorrow I was leaving the nineteen fifties for good.
I didn't know how I felt about that. Part of me missed 2157, when everything could be done with the touch of a button. But the other part of me knew once I was back, I would miss the nineteen fifties – the delicious meat hamburgers, the strange, specific etiquette, the way you had to go outside to experience things, and most of all Paul.
But if I...

Sorry, Wrong Lady Part 4

As timing would have it, the other Beatles also happened to be in Hyde Park for a picnic, so George figured that he'd introduce Dahlia to them first before starting their date. "I surely hope Geo is going to be all right." Paul said as they were just about to eat. "So do I, Macca. So do I." Ringo added. "Well, we did try to warn him, so fingers crossed that he takes note of it." John replied. Paul and Ringo nodded in agreement.

Around ten minutes later, the "couple" came into the scene. "Mates, I'd like you to meet my new girlfriend Dahlia! We met at a pub just last night." George said. Unfortunately,...

George then spent the evening at a pub while waiting for a potential girl whom he could start a relationship with. Me mates just don't understand. The sooner I find a date, the earlier I can possibly get married! That isn't really a bad thing, right? he thought after taking a sip of his wine.

At that moment, he heard a woman's voice coming from one of the more private areas: "Hey, you wanna have a chat?" So he transferred there and greeted her with a smile. The woman herself appeared to be a year older and was dark-haired, wore crimson red lipstick, a bluish purple long-sleeved dress, and (weirdly)...

The lads went to have a little fun at the beach shortly after breakfast and while waiting to start their concert. Wearing short swim trunks, they swam, took photos, and even played some volleyball.

Not too far from their area, they heard a young woman's voice saying, "Oh, my goodness! Is that who I think it is?!" Another gasped and replied, "It's the BEATLES!!!" The group then excitedly ran towards their favourite boys and greeted them with kisses. Although the lads were taken by surprise at first, they gladly accepted this with smiles. "How does that feel, love?" George cheekily asked one fan...

"Woah, that was incredible!" Laura said once her father finished telling the story (as well as their donuts and hot drinks). "Indeed. I'd have to concur with the bus driver; you and your bandmates really were destined for greatness!" Pattie added.

"I'm glad you enjoyed it, me ladies! Of course, that's only the beginning; for I've got some more stuff from this period to share with ye over the following weeks." George replied. "Goodie! Can't wait for those!" Laura replied. "Here-here!" Pattie said. "Splendid! Until then, whaddya say we continue on with our lovely walk?" George said. His wife and daughter nodded in agreement.

With that, they disposed the empty box and cups in a nearby trash bin and went on to enjoy the rest of their park day.

The Rise of Beatlemania Part 2

(Flashback...)

The year was 1963, and never before had jolly ol' England experienced such a massive phenomenon when it came to homegrown music. Our debut album was selling like hotcakes just shortly after getting ourselves settled with our own recording studio in Abbey Road, concerts were sold out, and even the papers ran headlines that screamed "BEATLEMANIA! It's happening everywhere...". While we didn't expect all of these at first, it'll soon turn out to be something we won't forget in the years to come.

(I'm sure you already know about this, but the headline above was actually a real life...

The new year had been off to a great start for the Harrisons. Not only did George and Pattie get to celebrate their first Valentine's Day as a married couple, but Laura had been in her happiest state since the time of her adoption. Oh, and speaking of which, I think we should see what they're up to right now!

Our heroes are currently enjoying a box of glazed donuts while taking a break from their afternoon stroll in Kensington Gardens, complete with freshly-brewed coffee and hot mint chocolate (for Laura). "Mmm... These are so good!" Pattie said before taking another bite. "And they taste even...

After waiting for ten minutes, John's question was answered at last when they heard some excited barking sounds. Ringo said, "I think I know who has arrived!" Before long, the three Beatles found themselves laughing while being showered with doggy kisses by Earl, Flora, Toffee, and Scooter. This was soon followed by a chuckle from the Queen. She then said, "Hello there, boys! It has surely been a while since we last met." John managed to reply, "Hi again, Your Majesty! Indeed, it has." Paul added, "So I see you're the special guest George told us about. Welcome to Abbey Road Studios!" Elizabeth...

Everyone soon had dinner in the Palace's dining hall, and Lucky was able to get his much-needed food at last alongside the other Corgis. George remarked as they ate, "Wow! The food here is absolutely delicious, Your Majesty." Pattie said, "Indeed! I can tell you have such a talented team of chefs." Laura added, "Me too!" Elizabeth replied, "Thank you very much, my friends! Yes, they always know how to cook up a good meal for each day." George said, "Wonderful!" Lucky made a noise that sounded like he was saying, "You got that right!" Earl, Flora, Toffee, and Scooter barked in agreement. After...

On the other side of the Thames lies a building called the Battersea Power Station, and what was going on inside certainly wasn't right. As it turns out, Lucky had been captured and taken here by a ruthless and greedy dog fighting organizer who only goes under the name of Sinister Gates. Despite the cruel sport already being outlawed in the UK, he still desired to earn an extra buck by using one of the Queen's pets against a potentially stronger dog, which he had set his comrades off to find. Gates said while counting his money, "Now that I have succeeded in catching a royal dog, this will...
