Part 1

It was 1963 in Middleton a town within the Metropolitan Borough of Rochdale, in Greater Manchester, England, live 18 year old girl who goes to St. Anne's Academy. She's a very quiet girl with glasses and long wavy brown hair which was pulled back in a red headband. Her parents owned a sweet shop; above the shop was their apartment. Everyday she would ride her red bike to and from school. Her school uniform was low pleated navy blue jumper that went to her knees; the blouse was a white French toast short sleeve point collar blouse, with a red tie. She wore white knee socks with black Mary–Jane's. When the day was done she would do her home work then go to work down stairs. The poor girl has been doing this for 7 years; she didn't have any friends to play with, the boys ignored her and the girls made fun of her.Her name was Gina Ericson.

One day in school the drama teacher made an announcement. "Class, there will be a 2 week fled trip to London for an over night performing arts fair, sign up sheets are on my desk. The trip will be a week for today. "The moments Gina herd this she jumped on her bike and pedaled as fast as she can. "MUM!!" she yelled when she reached home. 

"Motherthereisafliedtriptolondonandineveraskforanythingpleasecanigo!!!!"She said "honey, please slow down is everything okay?" her mother said. Gina told her mom everything but all her mother did was nod and send her down stairs to mend the cash register. For the rest of the evening all Gina could think about that filed trip. God I wish I could go she thought then I would be the happiest kid in town and I wouldn't care what anybody says. Later that night Gina sat on her bed reading Romeo & Juliet. Knock! Knock! "Gina!? Can I come in?" her father said "yes dad" "your mum and I were talking and…" Gina raised her eyebrow. "You can go to London!" "Really!? Thanks" she jumped off her white and pink spotted bed and hugged her father. Now all see had to do is waiting for Thursday to come. 
 
Gina packed her bags, 2 weeks without her parents! There were butterflies in her stomach from the time her father drove her to the station until she was on the train. She sat alone in the car reading a book, a few girls came in yelling a screaming "Hey look it's Gina!!!" "Four eyes!!!" One took her book and teased her with it " Give it back" Gina asked jumping out of her sit " You want it go get it!" a blond girl said and threw it out the window. All of a sudden two young men wearing black suits and a black tie with dark brown mop like hair came in, one looked he never slept before was asking if anyone seen his granddad. The other one had a hooked like nose he jokingly got down on his knees and pretended to be in cuffs "We've broken out! Ah, the blessed freedom of it all! Have you got a nail file, these handcuffs are killing me! I was framed, I'm innocent, I don't want to go!" he acted, all the girls screamed with excitement, but Gina just sat there looking at him. The tried looking one grabbed him by the arm trying to pull him out of the car filled with screaming girls "Sorry for disturbing you, girls!" "Hey" the other yelled pointing at Gina "me?" she mouthed "I betchya can't guess what I was in for!" he laughed psychotically. He took her by the hand as he was being pulled out by the first boy. She closed the door beside her "what did I do?" Gina asks the boy with hooked nose said "I'm John, do you have a name?" "Yea its Gina, but I-"she was cut off by thee other one "I'm Paul" He said "I'm looking for my grandfather" "oh well I'm sure he'll turn up soon" she smiled weakly. Paul walked away "Come on John, we have to find him before something bad happened" John look at Gina "Come on Gina, we have to find him before something bad happened" he mocked Paul smiling, gabbed Gina's arm and dragged her with him. They walked down the train's halls 'til they came to a car door with no front door windows. "Should we go in here?" Gina asked "No, it's probably a honeymoon couple or a company director." John said "I don't care. I'm going to broaden me outlook." Paul opened the door and found his granddad in there drinking with some young lady. "Come on you" Paul said taking him out of the car. Gina followed John and the rest of them to the back of the train. Paul had his granddad sit in the cage with the luggage. Two other men walked up, just like Paul and John they had mop like hair and wore the same outfit. One smiled and had a big nose, thee other seemed dark and quite he held a book in his hand. John push Gina in front of the two boys "hi" she said "I'm Ringo" the one the big nose said to her. He was only 3" taller then she was and the others were 8" tall. The next one just stood there holding the book Gina step back behind John and Paul. John spoke up "George meet Gina, I saved her from a group of swine." he smiled proudly. "Where did you find that?" Gina asked. George looked up "it hit me on the head." he said "Do you know whose it is?" "It's mine; one of the girls stole it from me and threw it out the window. How did it hit you?" Gina asked rising her eyebrow, George laughed "riding a bike" John stepped in " just showing some man nerve." he stood tall. Paul looked at his granddad "I'm sorry granddad, it for year own good" "And to think me own grandson would've let them put me behind bars." said the little old man. Paul opened the door and sat next to him "Don't dramatize. You're lucky to be here." John smirks "Don't worry, son. We'll get the best lawyer green stamps can buy..." Paul turns to him and says " oh ho it's a laughing a line with Lennon!" George fallowed John inside. 
 
Ringo taped Gina on the shoulder "come on" John took out a pack of cards. Gina sat between Ringo and John. "I'll deal" Ringo said they all started playing Liverpool shuffle. "He's wearing his lucky rings." said George, Ringo laughed "All mine". Some girls from Gina's school came over to watched, they all started whispering. Gina gave them a cold hard stare as they pointed at her "Don't listen to them" John whispered in her ear, Gina looked up at him and nodded. "Hey Norm" Paul said to a short 40 year man with a brown business suit on with a hat. Norm said "Hey! Don't move, any of you. They've gone potty out there. The place is surging with girls." John asked "Please, sir, sir, can I have one to surge me, sir, please, sir?" Norm said angrily "No, you can't! When I tell you, get out through this door into that big car that's waiting." Ringo collected the cards and put the pack in his left pocket. They all got up and started walking out, George turned to Gina and said "Are you coming with us or not?" "You mean I can go with you, but I thought he said no?" she perked up George smiled "To us that means yes." Gina followed George out of the train in to a black car. The car pulls up to a row of townhouses. Each Beatle has a separate, color-coded living space. George's room is green; it has a thick carpet of grass with a "Please keep off the grass" sign. Paul's room is white. Paul enters a separate doorway in the back and soon Paul playing a piano that's rising out of the floor. He has comic books arranged on the piano where the sheet music should be, John approaches a bookcase in his room (which is painted red). He flips around a portion of the bookcase and takes out a large book. He takes the book and goes to lie on the couch. Ringo's blue room has a row of vending machines, offering various goodies such as coffee, snacks, orange juice, and sandwiches.


 
Gina sat next to Paul as he played the piano. Ringo and George came in talking "I don't snore." Ringo asked "You do. Repeatedly." George replied Then Ringo turn to John who was lying on the couch reading a magazine "Do I snore, John?" Ringo asked again, John didn't even look up from what he was reading "Yeah. You're a window rattler, son." Ringo asked for a third time, but this time to Paul "It's just your opinion. Do I snore, Paul?" Paul laughed "With a trombone hooter like yours it would be unnatural if you didn't." Gina giggled as Ringo frowned. Granddad spoke up "No, Paulie. Don't mock the afflicted." Paul frowned "Come off it. It's only a joke." "It may be a joke, but it's his nose. He can't help having a hideous, great hooter. And the poor little head trembling under the weight of it." Granddad said as he walked away into the other room. "Your nose isn't that big." Gina whispered to Ringo who smiled. Then Norm came in with an arm full of letters "John, Paul, George, come on. Get at it." he said as he dropped the pile on John's lap and left. Ringo looked over John's shoulder as he flipped though the mail "None for me, then?" Ringo John said "This will keep you busy." and handed him an envelope. Paul walked over to John "what are we going to do about her? She's not supposed to be here." John looked at Paul "she's me prisoner." 
 
"that's kidnapping!" 
 
"I'm only joking" 
 
"You are going to get in to trouble!" 
 
John smiled and said "hey kid tell me about yourself." Gina said something quietly "I'm sorry we can hear you." George told to her "I said I was on a trip to London with me school. "She whispered to George. "She said I was on a trip with me school to London" George said, Gina looked at her shoes. Ringo asked "Have you ever been to London before?" she quietly shock her head no. Paul said to John "doesn't talk much." John looked at Gina who was reading the book that George was hit in the head with. "Make her laugh; she was fine when we were cracking jokes." John said "Me?!" Paul said with an uneasy look on his face "ask Ringo" "What! I'm no clown" he cried "ask George, he talks to her just fine" George look up when he hared his name "that's not true! She whispers too softly, it's hard to hear her." Gina looked over the top of her book and smiled "Is it really that hard to talk to a girl?" she smirked "for the record just because I'm not talking doesn't mean I can't hear every little thing!" The boys stopped "So do I have to stay here and play jail with a group of 6 year olds or can I just leave?" she counted they didn't answer "Well then goodbye" Gina said. She grabs her back pack and the handle to her suit case and wheeled it out to the door. John jumped over the couch "what the bloody hell was that" he yelled in the door way. "What?" she said as Paul and Ringo came out after, John picked her up and put her over his shoulder and Paul and Ringo took her stuff. "Put me down" she kicked "or I will kick you ass!" John dropped her on the black couch next to George "Hello again, back so soon?" he said laughing "yes" she curled up in to a ball. John sat on the coffee table across from her "So... You've never seen London? Well What if we show you London the Beatles' way." "So your brothers?" she asked Paul was sitting on thee arm of the couch, but fell off the moment she said that. "Brothers?" Paul said in amazement "you think we are brothers!" Ringo slide down the door laughing "were not brothers, were a band." John said with a straight face. "I play the drums." Ringo said Gina turned red. Her parents don't listen to music that much in the house any more; it's just church music and some oldies. "We are the Beatles!" Paul said "I play lead guitar" said George "so do I" Gina smiled "but only on Sundays at my church." John walk over to a record player and put on one of there albums. "Wow, that's really good." she smiled. "So we'll take you to all the best places in London." Paul said "unless you want to go back to all those mean people who are just plain mean. " said John. Gina smiled "no, I don't want to go back to a school full of swine!" John smiled a toothy smile, Ringo leaned forward against the couch "you should change out of your uniform so people don't find you." "Me mum wouldn't want it dirty" she said. Gina went to grab her bag to change, but John grabbed it first. "Well isn't this cutest thing." John speak in a girl voice as he pulled out a yellow dress with little daisy print " This will look fab on you darling!" John threw it at her "Shut up" she said laughing" my mother made it and if think I'm wearing something that…puffy then your crazy!" "Then call us crazy" Paul said. Ringo and George nodded. So Gina when to put it on in the bathroom. She changes her shoes in to black and white saddle shoes and folded her socks down. She took out her headband and put her curly hair in to a ponytail. "There" she said when she was finally done "don't you look cute" John teased "Don't you start or I'll cripple ya!" she showed him her fist. "Carefully John, she'll do it." Paul and Ringo said. George whistled and laughed. 
 
 They sat out on a bunch with a map "what if go here?" Ringo pointed every one nodded the hoped on bike and puddle off. They reached a top of grassy field on a hill with a few green trees. The hill over looked most of London. Gina ran to one tree and climb up it. "I've never been out here in the open like this!" she laughed George climbed up there next to her "really? Why?" he asked "Too much school work, right? No time for play!" John threw a ball to Paul. Ringo lay on the ground under the tree. George said to Gina "look at Ringo, he's snoring again!" Gina giggled "Watch this." George said. He took a stick that had a leaf at the end of it, he swung up side down and ticks Ringo's nose then pulls back up. Poor Ringo slaps him self in the face and wakes up with a jump "who hit me?" Ringo said. George jumped down "you might want some help." he said as Gina jumped down next to him by her self. "Or not" she said to George. Ringo, Paul, and John started playing stick ball with George. John was at bat " Okay kid watch this, I'm gonna hit this one pass the trees." he said to Gina who has been watching by the bikes. Paul threw the pitch and John misses the ball. "So kid when are you really going to hit the ball?" Gina mocked John who was unhappy with the play. "Hey if you so good, why don't you take a crack!" Ringo ask "maybe I will!" she said proudly. "come on let's move in" Paul said "no move back" Gina said as John handed the "bat" to her. "It's just a girl in a dress!" they yelled jokingly. Paul threw a fast ball and to amazement she hit it over there heads and though the trees. "That's how you play ball!" she said standing there with her head held high. George ran to find the ball, but when he came back he said "I can't find it!" they started chasing Gina around the yard. They lay on the grass looking up at the clouds "So where did you learn to play like that?" null asked Gina "um, I had a Granddad who moved to New York and every summer I would visit him. Me granddad once took me to a Yankee game  before he died. We even walked to the park and he taught me how to play." "How old were you when he died?" Paul asked. Gina sat up and looked to at her shoes "seven" George sat up next to her. 
 
"I'm sorry" 
 
"It's fine" 
 
"what else happened" 
 
"After that my parents just kept me indoors and away from people. Which is why I don't get out much." she said. John popped up "What!? So you never hung out with any body, but grandfather?" Gina nodded Ringo and Paul got up "How many days are going to be in London?" Paul asked Gina looked up "2 weeks." John jumped to his feet "Will then come on! We've got 2 weeks of stuff to do!" Every one took their bikes and peddles down the hill. For the rest of the day they all went in and out of stores, parks, rides, cars, and buses. John, Paul, George, Ringo, and Gina were walking down the sidewalk when George made a left turn in to a guitar shop Gina followed him. "Brilliant!" she said in awe. George picks up a cherry red guitar, sat down on a chair and started strumming. Gina picks up the black one and stood next to him playing the notes. Paul, John, and Ringo came in listening.  George stopped playing, leavening Gina playing all by herself. The Beatles listen to her play Amazing Grace. "That was good." Paul said "thanks, I practice a lot in me room." Gina said. All of sudden the blond girl from Gina's school walked in "Oh bloody hell!" Gina said hiding behind an amp. The boys turned around to see her looking at music. Ringo hid under the cash register, Paul jumped be hide the door, John crawled next to Gina, George had no where to go, but be hind a group of guitars.  "Who is she?" John asked quietly "Sophie, she's the one who throw me book out the window at George!" Gina told him in a hush tone. Sophie walked over from the files of music to the amps "Hello!" Sophie said looking down at them "well Gina this is your best hiding spot so far!"  "Hello Sophie" Gina stood up; there was anger in her voice. "We all thought you died" Sophie said with a smile "but sadly your not." she frowned at the last part. John stood up next to ready to hit Sophie, but Paul pulled out a fake mustache out of his pocket and a hat hanging off the hook near him. Paul threw it at George who was to hiding behind a group of guitars. George walked up to her "Is there a problem sir?" George said with a fake accent "Yes, this trouble maker is harassing me Niece!" John joked "I do not allow trouble makers in me shop." George said pushing her out the door. "How dare she come in to our Shop" Ringo said wearing a pair of big sunglasses. "Out!" Paul said as he walked next to Gina wearing an apron. Sophie didn't have time to say anything with ever one yelling at her. George almost got her out the door when the mustache fell off. "Oh crap" he said Sophie wacked the hat off his head. "You're not her Uncle" she pointed at John "and you three don't work here!" Ringo took off the shades "you're the Beatles!!! I know it the moment you took her from the train." Paul took Gina by the arm and ran to the back of the room. John grabbed a broom and started poking it at her "Back! Back!" Sophie took hold of the end of the broom and pushes him back. George pushed an amp in front of her making her trip over it. Both of them ran for the back room. Sophie got up and ran after Ringo, cornering him five feet from the door. "Cha! Cha! Cha" Ringo said pretending to do karate. Sophie laughed "Please tell me your joking", Gina poked her head out of the door to her lucky Sophie had her right ankle wrapped around a chord from the amp she tripped over. Gina did a tuck and roll to the end of the cord. "Let's see if you like me now?" Gina said I she pulled it out from under Sophie. Ringo and Gina ran for the exit. John locked the door be hide them with a desk chair. Paul had a latter ready under the Main vent "though the vent" every one said as Sophie was banging on the door. John was the last one out when the chair gave in and Sophie stormed in. John and Gina stuck the head though the vent hanging down "Your swine Sophie Higgins!" Gina said. She and John shared the same smile. "Hello!" Sophie said as she got to the latter "Goodbye!" said John as he pulled his head though the vent and held Gina's ankles. Gina then push the latter before Sophie could go on it then locked the vent.   "So Sophie threw the book at me?" George said as they crawled though the vent "Not at you, out the window away from me" Gina said "What did she mean 'we though you were died, but sadly your not' " Paul said "Means they want me died, because I'm not like them." She answered "Those fiends!" Ringo said.
