Hello my fellow Beatles fans, I apologize for the very suckish summary, I was sneaking it in at school while the teacher wasn't looking, so I had to finish before she found out. Anyways, here is a better summary and then the disclaimer:
13 year old Juli (yes that is spelled right) is a very smart girl, who doesn't like school, or anything to do with her life except her friends, and her band. So one day, or night I should say, she wishes she could go back in time and meet her favorite band, the Beatles. When she wakes up the next morning, she is lying in their house. She tries to find a way to go home, but after befriending them all, she isn't sure she wants to, and neither do the fab four.
Disclaimer: I own nothing but my OC and the plot, everything else belongs to the Beatles themselves, apple records, EMI, and who ever else has come in contact with them.
Before I start the story, here's a brief but somewhat detailed description of my character:

OK, now to the story

Prologue:
It was another lonely fall day in Juli's house. When she got home, there was no one there besides her cat, who was asleep on the couch, Juli let out a sigh, knowing that her mom and dad were at work late again and that she would be alone until midnight. She quickly unpacked her backpack, and finished her homework to pass the time. When she was finished, it was only 10 pm, she sighed and thought of what to do, she had no internet, there was nothing on that she wanted to watch, she had already played every game she had for the Wii, so she decided to go to bed. As she climbed into bed, with her cat not to far behind, she sighed. Even though she was 13, she wished her mom was here to tuck her in, and her dad to tell her "good night." But, she wasn't completely alone in her room. Aside from the cat, Juli had many posters and toys and drawings of her very favorite band, the Beatles, plastered across the walls and ceiling, she even had instruments that were autographed by them. All over the walls were posters of their album covers, mug shots, goofy pictures they took themselves, even pictures of their signatures, and on the ceiling, was a pattern of black and white mug shots that went in the same pattern as the "Let It Be" album, you could barely see the faded sky blue paint that had originally covered the walls and ceiling. It was the same for the furniture, which had been painted white and had a random pattern of the Beatles signatures spray painted on, which you could barely see through the cluster of Beatles plush toys and dolls. You could say it was Beatlemania packed into one room. For the first time since she got home, a smile crept across Juli's face.
"Home, sweet, home." she said as she observed her months of work, giving a slight, but proud nod. "Oh yeah!" she exclaimed as she remembered something very important.
She dug threw her jean pocket, and pulled out her daily earnings, $8.50, and deposited it into the enormous jar on the side of her bed, that was almost half way full, and that was saying something, considering it was roughly half her height. She had been saving up the money she found and earned from her babysitting job to buy a Gibson J-160E, a Gibson J-200, an Epiphone Casino, and a Two-Tom Ludwig drum set for her band mates and her. Her thoughts quickly shifted to her band, "The Junior Beatles", which was a bogus name, but it was the only name that the 4 members could agree on. But aside from the name, Juli loved the band, and her band mates, Victoria, Samantha, and Jessica, were very cool, but they were totally unrecognized talent. Their "studio" was currently Sam's garage, and they could only practice when her parents weren't home, and the instruments they were using were old, and had to be held together with duck tape, which made them sound wrong. But with the money that they were saving up, they could probably afford to buy some recording equipment to make some CDs. She thought about her and her friend's dream for a while, then her thoughts drifted again, this time back to her day. The smile that had once dominated her face drew back into a frown. She thought about how her day had been, after school she had to go babysit Mrs. White's 5 year old gremlin for a couple hours, then went to Sam's house to practice for their school talent show, where they would be performing "Good Day Sunshine", but when her dad pulled in, he bumped the leg of their old piano that was held up with glue, and cracked the piano itself so that it sounded wrong when you played it, then she had to go to the museum where her aunt worked to help arrange a new exhibit, which was okay, but then the museum owner had come and completely unloaded on her and the employees helping about how that was crooked and this was wrong and that needed to be over there, and even fired one guy who looked like he was fresh out of college. In simple words, it was a very bad day.
Juli let her thoughts slide back to her band, but that only brought up the question of how were they going to perform in the show with a broken piano. She knew the only way they were going to make it was if they played another song that only required them to play guitar, base, and drums, but which one? She shuffled through all the possible Beatles songs they could play, and there weren't many. It finally came to a toss up of "Twist and Shout", "Get Back", "Helter Skelter" and "One After 909", Juli knew she had to call her friends, but as she got out of bed, a sudden wave of fatigue washed over her, and she fell back down on her mattress, she hadn't realized it had been an hour since she had come and laid down, her eyes began to shut, but quickly shot open when she realized she had forgotten something in her backpack. She forced herself to get up and trudge to the living room, where she had dumped her school stuff. When she made it, she unzipped the zipper of her top pocket, and pulled out a folded up piece of old poster paper, which she handle with great care, afraid that she might rip it if she moved to fast. When she reached her room, she unfolded the very old piece of paper, which was actually an original poster from the sixties for when the movie "Help!" came out in theaters. Juli looked around her room for a place to put the poster, she decided on the ceiling was best, it didn't matter if she covered up a few of the pictures, they were all the same one any way. When she finished tacking up the poster, she climbed back into bed, and stared at the new addition to her room, which she couldn't do for much longer if her eyes kept closing like this. Before she fell asleep, she said, "I wish I could meet you guys, that would be the best thing ever." Then, the house was silent, all except for the soft, rhythmical purring of the cat.

So, me do good? This is my first story that I have ever written, EVER, outside of school work, and even those weren't stories, they were essays based off of pictures that we were given and writing prompts, so this is my first free be story with no instructions given. Next chapter will be up soon, promise, and it will have, the one, the only… BEATLES IN IT!!!! *clears throat, so, R and R, and, um, peace. Yeah, so, bye… for now, *cloud of smoke forms around me, and when it clears I'm still there. *walks off mumbling something about a stupid SFX kit.
