The Beatles' World, Part 2 - Back In '66

posted by Rubyrings

This is what happened, back in the year 1966.
When Brian Epstein passed by the Cavern Club, noticing a teenage girl who was staring right at him and wearing very strange clothing, only to see her suddenly disappear, he concluded he must be overworked. People usually do in cases like these. He made himself an appointment with the doctor, who told him he would do best to go on a relaxing vacation and not think about work for the rest of the year.
But Brian Epstein had already planned out the Beatles' tour schedule. How could they do their tours if he wasn't allowed to keep an eye on them? There...

How I Saved the Beatles - Part 14

posted by Rubyrings

The next day, when John got up, I had already dressed, eaten, and was standing with my things by the front door, clearly ready to leave.
"Well, thanks, John," I said. "I had a wonderful time."
John blinked at me in the early-morning light. "You're leaving?"
I nodded, trying my best to look as though I really wanted to. "It's time. You know I couldn't stay with you forever. I need to get back home."
"But..." For a moment, John's ever-confident expression faltered and he looked lost - "You don't have to go yet. We haven't done half the things we could do here. Come on, give it another month or two."...

50 Years From Now, Part 8

George waited as John finished saying goodbye to their mates. He seemed to be asking them something, which made them frown a little, but then Ringo said something back, and John nodded and went back to George. Both Paul and Ringo looked very sad as they walked away, George noted. They had to change the future!
John and George talked about that as they walked. George didn't pay as much attention to where they were going this time, concentrating instead on this all-important conversation.
"I think, if we can get Brian to go on vacation in a couple of years, he should be all right."
"Yeah, and me...

How I Saved the Beatles - Part 11

posted by Rubyrings

I don't know how long I sat there, crying on George's kitchen table. George, I think, wasn't sure how to handle a girl crying in his kitchen and he left, letting me stay in there as long as I liked, while he was in some other part of the house. I think that was best. After a long time, when I had cried so much I couldn't cry anymore, I lifted my head into my hands and tried to think. I couldn't just accept George's answer. There had to be something I could do to change his mind. I had to see my plan through. I owed it to Paul, and to Ringo. What could I do about George? Why wouldn't he want...

How I Saved the Beatles - Part 7

posted by Rubyrings

Later that night, when all the McCartneys were asleep, I sat awake, thinking, on the little pull-out bed Linda had gotten out for me.
I knew what I had to do now. Somehow, I would have to find Ringo, George, and John, and tell them how sad Paul was about their breakup, and convince them all, somehow, to come here and reunite. I didn't know how I was going to do that, but I couldn't believe that any of the former Beatles would be too hard to convince. Who would want to leave the Beatles behind? I was really much more worried about how to find them.
How was I going to do that? Maybe Paul still...

You Break Sometihng Of His, And Try To Fix It, But Fails Miserably

posted by MJ_Fan_4Life007

Paul - You were just walking around with scissors, using them for your latest project and suddenly, before you knew it, you were slicing a hole through Paul’s favourite jacket. “Crap” you cursed, tearing the jacket off the hanger and attempting to sew it up. Your sewing was atrocious, but you thought you’d give it a shot as it was better than making Paul angry. You heard the door shut and you stiffened, pin and wool still in hand and a half-stitched, wonky patch where the tear is, used with yellow and black wool. “My jacket!” Paul cried, holding it up in front of him. “Paul, I’m...

Going Back To Yesterday, part 3

posted by Rubyrings

The rest of that day and all of the next one passed uneventfully, but oh, so slowly, as I waited for the time when I would have my date with Paulie.
I was staying in the hostel, but not really talking to anyone or drawing attention to myself, trying not to mess up anybody’s timeline. Also I just wasn’t used to talking to people in person when I didn’t already know them well from social media. Paul was different, of course. I had read so much about him and watched so many vids of him, I already felt like I knew him, and besides – well, he was a Beatle! Or he would be. I watched the people,...

How You Meet Him

posted by MJ_Fan_4Life007

Paul: You meet him at Secondary School. You were in his English class, and most of his others. The difference in English was that you sat next to him. For years, you had liked him and every English lesson you’d study the beautiful curve of his nose or the perfect shaping of his eyebrows and the long lashes that possessed his eyes. You never thought that he’d feel exactly the same about you. As you sat down for English class once again, before the exams started, Paul leaned over to you “want to come hear me play sometime?” he asked, as butterflies settled in your stomach. “Sure”...

Going Back To Yesterday, part 13

July 11, 1957. Less than one full day left to get Paul and John to meet each other.
I had been quiet all morning, alternating between hoping things would work out and hoping I wouldn’t randomly get sucked back into the present in front of Paul and his family. Paul had told his dad and brother at breakfast that I was leaving today, and they’d said polite goodbyes (or what I presumed were polite goodbyes; I still wasn't entirely used to nineteen fifties etiquette). Paul made it all sounds very normal, and nobody questioned me. I was relieved to see that Paul seemed to have accepted that I...

Jim McCartney was in the living room, wearing a dressing gown and looking agitated. He looked up as we opened the door, and marched right over to Paul, not looking happy.
“Paul McCartney, where have you been? It’s nearly two in the morning!”
So that was what time it was. I automatically relaxed a little. I wasn’t used to not being able to find out the time whenever I wanted to.
Paul blinked his long-lashed eyes. “I know, Dad, we just....”
I stepped forward, remembering my promise. “It was my fault, Mr McCartney.”
Jim looked at me. “Your fault? Who is this, Paul?”
“I’m Gloria,”...

“Dear John,
“I’m writing to tell you not to ask me to marry you. Do not fall in love with me, don’t tell me you can’t live without me, and don’t try to be my boy friend, because none of that is allowed.

80smusiclover1's Favorite Beatles Songs

posted by 80smusiclover1

Hey, there! It's me again. This time, I'm going to discuss my favorite Beatles songs and what I like about them. Enjoy!

In My Life - This song is just so sentimental to me. Aside from the fact that it was the first Beatles song I listened to, it reminds me of my childhood and the events that happened during it. For this reason, I even consider this song as my unofficial childhood anthem.

I'm Happy Just To Dance With You - What I like about this song is that it's very catchy and fun to dance to. It's a great song for parties and reunions. It's also my favorite from the "A Hard Day's Night" album....

If I Fell 7

The next night, the Beatles went back to the same pub and met their new girls again. Emily, May, Morag, and Natalya were perfectly charming, in their own chilly way, and the Beatles were more enchanted than ever.
Neither Beatles nor women had seen any reporters around, but by the next day, everyone knew that the Beatles had found their new girlfriends. And all across England, the fans were distraught and furious.
“Why?” wailed Emma, staring at the newspaper in her hands at the breakfast table, hardly able to believe what she was reading. “Why would John go for this Emily instead of me?...

How You Sleep

posted by MJ_Fan_4Life007

Paul - You sleep entwined with one another. His arms will be wound around you and yours will be wrapped around him. Your head will be in the crook of his neck as he protects you from the world.

John - You sleep with him locking his arms around you as you sleep with your back against him. Spooning. He’ll snuggle into your warmth, his head buried in your hair.

George - You sleep with your head on his chest, as his hand rests in your hair and another hand on the small of your back. His bare chest rises and falls against your head, lulling you to sleep.

Ringo - You sleep on your back as Ringo sleeps on his side with his leg around you. It’s comfortable and knowing Ringo is near his arm and leg protectively guarding you makes you feel safe.
