(Flashback...)

With only six days left until the start of our tour, me mates and I figured that we should make the most of our free time by going on what we call a "Good-Will Mission". You could say that the window of opportunity had been opened, as we were delivered with a very special letter through the Abbey Road Studios postbox shortly after leaving the place for the night!

The Beatles had just gotten themselves settled for dinner at a restaurant and were waiting for their order to be served. "I wonder what that letter is all about..." Ringo said. "It'll be answered really soon!" George replied....

For a Good Cause Part 1

posted by 80smusiclover1

We head on over to Piccadilly Circus on a warm April day, in which George had just finished talking with and signing autographs for a group of fans. At the same time, Pattie and Laura were done shopping for some new clothes from Marks & Spencer.

"I'll bet you're bloody excited to hear about the events which would lead to our first ever meeting!" George told his daughter as they explored more of the place on foot. "Why of course, Daddy! This is the part I've been looking forward to the most." Laura replied. "And I'm sure they were just as memorable. Bring it on, sweetheart!" Pattie added. "Your wish is my command, ladies!" George said.

With that, the story started.

"What an experience that was, darling," Pattie said after the story came to a finish. "I can see why you decided to put dating on hold until you met me in Ireland two years later. That Doria witch sure had it coming to her!" George replied, "Yep! It was certainly worth the wait!" Pattie replied, "Indeed! And Wendy sounds like a nice fan. I hope she's been doing well." George said, "So do I, honey. That day we spent together is one I'll forever cherish." Pattie smiled in response.

"I must add that Uncle Ringo summoning those forest animals for the showdown was pretty funny! The same goes for...

My favorite "The Beatles" song lyrics. Let it Be <3

posted by JosepineJackson

When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom
Let it be

And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom
Let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom
Let it be

And when the broken-hearted people
Living in the world agree
There will be an answer
Let it be

For though they may be parted there is
Still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer
Let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Yeah, there will be an answer
Let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom...

Strawberry Fields Forever 17

posted by Rubyrings

Jim McCartney couldn't sleep. All day long, he'd turned what the police had told him about this mysterious British band over in his mind. How they had come to New York from England. How they all seemed to want to be rock musicians. And how one of them was calling himself James.
It was silly, Jim knew. Paul couldn't have gotten all the way to New York on his own! For one thing, the airlines wouldn't have allowed it. But he might not have been travelling alone, Jim remembered. There were three other boys in this band, who would have had to come over from England too. Could Paul have really formed...

The Beast of Bodmin Moor Epilogue

posted by Rubyrings

The Beatles were heroes.
Everyone in England talked about their defeat of the Beast of Bodmin Moor for years afterwards, and they were, if possible, even more famous than before. The papers wrote up articles about the Beatles' quest, and there was much interest in the special objects that had helped them. There were still some police officers who thought the Beatles should be arrested for carrying swords about and disturbing England, but there were too many people now who knew about the Beast and knew the Beatles had saved everyone. Besides, the Beatles had said in countless interviews what...

How I Saved the Beatles - Epilogue

posted by Rubyrings

The Beatles were back together, and I had never been happier. The Beatles never forgot what I had done for them, and I became sort of their official number-one fan. They sent me their new records as soon as they released them, and they always signed them. I got free tickets to many of their concerts, and they would sometimes just call me or send me a letter to ask how I was doing, and to tell me a little bit about their lives, which were happier than ever. The Beatles told me that they had all promised each other that if they ever had problems again, they would work them out right away instead...

How I Saved the Beatles - Part 8

posted by Rubyrings

Luckily, I still had some money left from my job for transportation. I figured I might end up spending it all on plane and train tickets, but it was worth it. My only other option would have been stealing money from Paul, and I would never do that!
My next step was a plane ride followed by a train ride out into a secluded place back in England, where I found a nice big house with a statue of a rhinoceros out front. This was the place, according to Paul's address book, where Ringo lived. If he was still here, this was where I would convince him to rejoin the Beatles.
I knocked on the door, and...

How I Saved the Beatles - Part 3

It was almost a week later when I managed to get back to the record store. I knew that Mom had told Dad about my crying over The Long And Winding Road and they would try and stop me from going if they knew. But one day, I told them I had a project to work on and would be a bit late coming home. I wasn't lying - not really. What project was more important than saving the Beatles?
When I got to the record store, Marvin looked up and smiled. "Ah, Carrie. I wondered when you were coming back. I have something else for you." He slid another record across the counter. I knew it was the Beatles with...

The Beatles Song That Reminds Him Of You

posted by MJ_Fan_4Life007

Paul - And I love her. It reminded him how much he loves you, how much he treasures you and wants you around. Whenever he sings it, he thinks of you and how much he loves being with you and making you happy.

John - I feel fine. He finally knew you loved him, because you finally told him and he was so proud he wanted to shout it from the rooftops. You didn’t care about what he gave you, but he wanted to spoil you anyway, making sure you stay his.

George - Something. Everything you did just mesmerised him, making him be in awe of you. The way you moved, smiled, your disposition just made him so happy and he knew that you were the one for him, and when he’d play it, he just knew that you were there for him.

Ringo - I wanna be your man. It reminded him of the time he was pining to be with you. He wanted to be yours forever, wanted to make you happy and feel worth something. When he finally became yours this became the anthem of you memories.

Meeting George

While Laura was having breakfast with the rest of the children one day, the head of the orphanage told them that a special guest will be coming to visit their place as part of his "Good-Will Mission". When she heard this, she said to herself, "I hope this guest is a friendly one. I'd like to meet him." After breakfast came to an end, she decided to change her clothes for the visitation. The guest arrived at exactly twelve noon. He was a tall, slender man in his twenties, had a mop-top haircut, and spoke with a thick, yet soothing Liverpudlian accent. Laura tried to see him as...

Internet Meets Beatlemania 4

Paul, George, and Ringo talked about what they could do to keep John safe from Mark David Chapman. Ringo said, "We could hide him somewhere." George said, "That's all very well, but that's easier said than done. Where would we hide him? London doesn't have a lot of hiding places." Paul remarked, "Who said it had to be in London?" George and Ringo looked at Paul, waiting to hear his suggestion. Paul said, "I have a farm in Scotland. John could stay at my place." Ringo said, "Brilliant, Paul! Scotland is miles away from London." George nodded in agreement. Later, Paul, George, and Ringo told...

Sorry, Wrong Lady Part 12

The next day, George was strolling around Trafalgar Square when he saw Wendy sitting by one of the fountains. The teenage fan was on the verge of crying again as she was still recovering from what happened yesterday. She had also hoped that her favourite Beatle would come back and make up for it.

As a few tears streamed down, she felt George wrap his arms around her and dry them with his free hand. "It's all right, love," he soothed. "Don't cry. I'm here." "G-Georgie?" Wendy responded, then looked up and perked almost immediately at the sight of his handsome face. She said, "Oh, Georgie! I am...

Even as the showdown was approaching an hour since it started, the other Beatles were having the time of their lives in making Doria suffer. At this point, the mad scientist was battered, bruised, and even bleeding. "Call off these nasty vermins!!!" she shouted as the foxes and squirrels held on to her. "Nope, not a chance!" Ringo replied. "That's what ye get for calling us insects, ya witch!" John added. "And for brainwashing our dearest friend, too!" Paul said.

At that moment, they heard a familiar voice which made them smile: "Need some help, me mates?" And there, marching into the kitchen,...

The sun had begun to set as George ran as fast as his legs could carry him back to Hyde Park. He said while doing so, "I hope me mates are still in there! Asking that poor excuse for a woman out was such a big mistake."

However, Dahlia wasn't quite ready to give up yet. Even though she no longer had control over George's mind, the necklace had managed to help her catch up to him just as he was getting closer to the park's gates.

Then... it happened: A small towel with a splat of chloroform was placed on his mouth, causing him to slow down and feel dizzy for a few seconds. "So ya think you could...

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,...

The first day of March had finally arrived, and the Beatles were on their way back to Abbey Road Studios for the tour rehearsals. Once they met inside and got their instruments prepared, John exclaimed, "Are ya mates ready?!" George replied, "As ready as we'll ever be, pal! Hit it!" They then had a grand time over the next two hours while taking water breaks in between.

When the lads were done, they proceeded to the meeting room for some pizza and Dr. Pepper. "Those rehearsals were mighty gear, me chaps! We now have the rest of the month to get ourselves all set for this Spring tour." John remarked....

"That's the end of her," George said after staring at the hole on the roof and taking a deep breath. "She won't be waking up again." Ringo exclaimed, "All right! We did it!" John said, "That was one heck of a fight, Geo!" Paul added, "Indeed! We're very proud of you!" "Heh! Thanks, me mates!" George smiled.

He then told them, "I'd also like to apologise for not taking your warnings about finding a date seriously. I guess I just got a bit carried away by my wish to get married early. Can you please forgive me?" John placed a hand on his shoulder and replied, "It's okay, buddy. We already have....

Finding Doria's lair turned out to be a breeze, for while the mad scientist was sipping on her drink, she heard the door open and shut with a loud bang. "Hey, I thought no one else could look for this place of mine!" she said. "Surprise, surprise! That is, until now." a man's voice replied.

Doria then saw something she didn't expect to see again: Three very angry-looking mop-topped lads were coming into the kitchen and approaching her with marching footsteps.

"Oh, great. Somehow, I knew you'd end up here." she groaned. "Pretty clever, eh?" John replied. "Now tell us," Paul demanded. "Where is...
