I changed the beginning a little. I really hope you like this story. A twist of the famous tale and movie. I don't really think I based this on their own persona, but on the characters they (sort of) played on a Hard Day's Night
March 1963. RADIO STATION
Disk jockey
….. Everyone knows who you are, you're The Beatles
John
Are we?
Disk jockey
Let's start with the interview, shall we? The girls are just crazy for you-
John
Nah, they're simply crazy
Disk jockey
JOHN. okay now that you are so talkative, I'll be asking the questions to you. The fans are wondering if you have a girlfriend.
John
The fans? I believe you are the one wondering, queer!.
Paul
The truth is that no one can stand him for more than a day, he's cruel.
John
I'm not talking to you anymore, Paul
Disk jockey
Is it, John? Are you a coldhearted beast?
John
(Looking at his bandmates)
I can be cruel, if I want to.
Paul
Well you want it all the time-
(John hits him softly)
John
Yeah, I'm a badass
Disk jockey
Well, I suppose that in the future you'll meet a girl who can break that spell of yours, now let's talk about the album you are working on.
Manchester
"I'm so glad you're here, you received a letter, from a man named Norm" a woman said to her daughter, Michelle Walsh, a young reporter" Michelle, I can't believe you didn't see it in the morning"
"I was late for work, and you know how much they want me to be fired, I couldn't let that happen" she said as she opened the letter. She started reading.
"I want it too you know, I don't like you working, this is a men's world, you should quit, they won't let you succeed" said a worried mother; but Michelle wasn't paying attention to her mother's words; she couldn't believe what she was reading.
"Mom, I'm going to London!" she looked at her mother
"What? London? What does it say?" she took the letter off her hands and she read out loud "I read your article titled 'Shakespeare: The man who invented words' and because of its quality, I would like to request you to come to London and help me with a special project that I'm working on; to increase your interest, it will be about the most famous people of nowadays'I don't think you should trust this letter"
"But mom, I'll be writing about the most famous people of nowadays, I bet is about the queen and her son, or maybe-"
Her mom interrupted "Or is a scam you can't trust it, God if your father.." she saw her exited daughter "Are you sure you want to do this, aren't you afraid?"
"Of what? Of the most important job I will probably get? Of course I'm not!" She hugged her mother. Someone knocked at the door and interrupted that hug
Mrs. Walsh opened the door; a young blond man kissed her hand "Is your daughter here?"
"Thank God you're here Gordon, Michelle received a letter, they are offering her a job, in London, would you go with her?"
"But mom" she faked a smile "I think Gordon has to work, I'll be fine; I can take care of myself"
"You can't go to London by yourself, where would stay?"
She gave him the letter, so he could read "They offer me a place to stay, I really don't need you"
He laughed, in a burlesque way "No silly, you can't trust this, who would give a woman an 'important project'? This is a scam"
"That's what I told her" her mother said
"Apparently, that Norm guy, and there's nothing you can say to stop me, I've decided I'm going, I'm old enough aren't I?" she said firmly
Reading the letter, Gordon said "Here says that the meeting is this Monday at 3 pm, I'm going with you, just to verify everything is legitimate"
"God bless you, Gordon"
"Mom, I think I can manage it by my own, don't you think? Besides you have to be at the restaurant"
"I'll tell my Dad that I won't be working that day" He noticed that Michelle was now angry "My little stubborn, I'll return as soon as I make sure that everything is okay"
"Fine, you win, you both win"
"I better go, those lambs won't cook by themselves" and he left the house
She looked at her mom "Thanks mom, now I'll have Gordon as my security guard, gee you know how much I dislike him"
"But why? he's really handsome"
"And really annoying" she sat defeated on the coach
"I'm not asking you to marry him, but I'll feel better if he's going with you"
"Then why don't you come with me?"
Her mom sat beside her "Darling, you how much I dislike traveling, I'm sorry he's the only option you have"
She sighed "Anyway, I better go and start packing, I'm going to London" she smiled
They arrived to London, the place was everything Michelle wanted, new, different and exiting, she was amazed, but Gordon wasn't "I don't know why you want to live here, there is nothing new, and it's just like Manchester; besides you don't know anyone here"
"I don't care, I was alone there too" she said breathing the fresh air of that cold day.
"There's the building, let's see what this man wants of you" he said angrily. They entered, but a security guard stopped them
"Are you lost?" he asked
"No, big man, she has an appointment, her name is Michelle Walsh" she hated when someone spoke for her.
"Okay, the office is in the second floor" they followed him, everything was really quiet. The man knocked the door, and he opened it for them.
"Come in" the man said, he seemed nice." I'm Shake, I don't usually do this kind of meetings, but I had no choice, Norm was sick, I told him that I was busy but at the end.." the man was nervous, he explained every single detail "that's why I'm here, you must be Michelle" he said to Gordon, extending his hand.
"I am Michelle" and they shacked hands
"But, you're a girl" Shake said, he noticed her angry expression "I'm sorry, sit down please, let me explain you about the project" she sat on the chair, but Gordon didn't, he seemed like he wasn't really comfortable with him, after he confused his name "We read that article of yours, we loved it, all those photographs of the places really suited the story, and the way you described Shakespeare-" Michelle was starting to feel anxious "We want you to make a small book about them, you must be wondering why we didn't tell you about who they are, but we need to keep it as a secret, a surprise if you want to call it like that"
With a wide smile, and sitting straight she said "I know, the royalty must have privacy, I have a question, Will it be all about the queen or also about her son and-"
"The Queen?" Shake started to laugh "Sorry to disappoint you sweetie, it won't be about her" she was confused "It's about The Beatles"
"As in the band? Or the insects?" She tried to make a joke, so Gordon wouldn't notice her disappointment.
"The Deal is: You'll have to stay three months, do what you did to write your article; you will be staying in an apartment, paid by us and about the money...let's say you'll end up being rich and famous"
Gordon was not convinced "And Santa is real, c'mon Michelle, you don't believe this jerk, do you?" He said while touching her dark auburn hair.
"Well, maybe the fame I can't guarantee" Shake said
She was in fact disappointed "I'll be writing about a bubblegum band" she thought; but as always she wasn't going to agree with Gordon "I accept the deal, I'll write you a book"
"Fantastic, you need to sign this, there you'll find what we really want in that book, for example, a normal day, how they create their music, a day in the studio; think you can do the job?" He said and he blinked an eye
Gordon was mad "She's a woman, are you sure you want-"
"Of course I can, thank you sir"
"A car is waiting outside, the driver will take you to the building you'll be staying, the same where the Beatles live" Shake expected screams, but she only said:
"I guess I'll see you in three months Gordon...maybe more"
