Chapter 1
Lilybeth counted her money, and handed it over. The man handed her the keys to the Standard Vanguard. She smiled as the man walked in the house on the corner. She climbed into her new car. She started it, and drove home.

"Hey, how was the ride?" Her boyfriend asked. His name was Jude, he was never kind.

"Why do you care?" Lilybeth asked. She pocketed the keys, and hung up her coat. He looked her in the eye.

"I asked you a question!" He said grabbing her arm. She shoved him away, and grabbed her coat. She walked out the door, and back to her car. As she drove she was crying, she shoved the car into second gear with solid force. The car sputtered, but kept going. She gained speed, and drove through the night. When she finally stopped she was near a group of houses. She closed her eyes, and placed her face on the wheel. All of a sudden the car seemed younger. She sighed as she sat up. A man started walking toward her. She panicked.

"Jude must've found me here!" She said to herself, she unbuckled herself, and got out of the car. She started running down the road. The man followed.

She stopped, and went into a building. She Sat down, and looked around. She was in a pastry shop. She could smell the vanilla extract, and sugar. She walked over to the counter.

"How much?" She asked as she pointed to a cookie.

"Is it your first time?" The woman asked, Lilybeth nodded, "No charge if you spread the word!" She said handing Lilybeth a cookie.

"Thanks," She said, she looked around, and noticed the old feel to it, "Well, where am I?" She asked as she nibbled on the cookie.

"You dont know?" She asked, she smiled, "Liverpool..." She said like Lilybeth was supposed to get something.

Lilybeth's eyes grew wide, "Wait, England?" She asked, "I was in Flippin, Arkansas!" For the first time Lilybeth looked at the women. She wore an old costume like diner uniform, except, it was real. Her nametag said Natasha. And next to her a girl with the same uniform stood.

"Hey, who's this?" She asked, her nametag said Shorty.

"I don't know, but, she's a bit confused, she thought she was in Arkansas," Natasha said, She looked at Lilybeth.

"Well, it's a nice place an all, but, what made you do this theme?" Lilybeth asked.

"Theme? This is what all restaurants look like!" Shorty said as the man that followed Lilybeth walked in. It wasn't Jude, it was a sweet looking lad.

"Hey, Rings!" Shorty said, "The usual?" She asked, "Or, how about your girl?" She had a thick scouce.

"Yes, and what we're you doing in my car? You know you don't have a licence!" He said putting his arm around Lilybeth. She looked a little uncomfortable. She slid out from under his arm.

"What's wrong?" He asked. She shrugged.

"I don't know, who are you?" She asked as Ringo sat in a chair. Lilybeth looked into Ringo's blue eyes. He looked a bit hurt, but smiled.

"I'm Richard Starkey, I am also your boyfriend," he said Natasha looked a bit confused, "She's having another episode," he said. He took Lilybeth's hands into his, "Lil, you sometimes get a blank mind, you are ok." He said nodding, "Just remember, I love you, even though you don't know..." he paused, "You can't remember me, it's alright though! You'll remember, you always do!" Lilybeth was surprised by his kind tone, he sounded like he actually meant the words he said. She had forgotten that kindness.

The phone rang.

"Uh, look, Richie, right?" She asked, he nodded, "Well, there is a past I've been trying to get away from! You see, I had a boyfriend who liked to yell, and carry on, so-" She was cit off.

"His name was Jude, he was never really nice to you, but you ran away from him, and now, you are mine!" He smiled, and stood up, "You'll remember, you always do." He pulled her into a hug. She felt compelled to hug mom back, but restrained. She felt like a part of her was missing. She sat on a chair, and cried. Lilybeth wasn't sure why, but she knew it wasn't a good feeling inside. Richie sat next to her and kisses her cheek. She smiled.

"Come on then!" He said, let's go find, a Mr. John Lennon's house." He took Lilybeth's hand, and they walked to her car. She got in the passenger side, and waited for him to get in.

"Oh, second is tricky!" Lilybeth said, she handed him the key, and he started the car.

"I know, it's my car!" He smiled, and drove through the practically empty streets. They pulled up in front of a very nice looking house. Ringo got out, and walked around to her door. He tried to open it, but it wouldn't budge. She told him to step back. She then kicked the door open. She stood smiling at Ringo. For the first time Ringo really looked at what she was wearing. She wore a nice blouse, with Ringo's leather jacket over it. She had on boots, and a pair of jeans. She looked behind her shoulder to catch him staring.

"What?" She asked. He shook his head, and walked in the house.
