When we had finished with cake I quietly excused myself and disappeared up to my room. As soon as I shut the door I collapsed on the bed with a huff. I didn't even bother to take off my new dress. Why did this have to happen? All my dreams of living a regular life and being Normal… That was all gone. Blown to the wind by my family's freaky genes! I hit my pillow trying to let out some my anger. It felt surprisingly good. I picked it up and chucked it at the wall, watching it slam into all the Beatles posters I tacked to the wall. I froze.

"No-" I stood up slowly realization creeping over me. I had seen the Beatles, Their younger selves that is. I ran up and touched Paul's face, a smile slowly creeping onto mine.

"Damn, I'm a lucky chick."

I sat impatiently drumming my fingers on my backpack trying to drum out the noise of the school bus. I looked out the window with a sigh.

"I can't wait until I get my license." Annie commented next to me. When I didn't answer she turned and gave me a concerned look. See, I have been struggling for weeks as whether or not to tell Annie. I needed to talk to someone about the time blast, But it just wasn't something I could talk to my mother about. The night of my birthday she came up to my room wanting to know about it, but I wouldn't let her in. She was lucky enough not to have the gene and this whole ordeal just seemed to show our differences more.

Now Annie and I were more or less the same. We found out early on that we both listened to the Beatles, and more things grew from there. My "encounter" was something totally worth bragging to her. But I had grown unsure. I hadn't had a time blast again which Gran said was unusual. She had one at least once a month, but claimed that it was more Wild and rebellious when we were younger. I just kept praying the maybe the first one was a fluke. That maybe I could go on with my life.

"Cleo? We're here now." Annie stood up quickly. "Come on. I wanna see Stu."

I rolled my eyes. Stu was a guy who totally had the hots for Annie. I didn't see why he hadn't asked her out yet.

We made our way toward an ancient oak that stood on the school grounds. We both dropped our bags at the base and climbed up into it's branches to wait for Stu. As Annie chatted on about an essay she was working on, I noticed a gnawing pain in my gut. At first I ignored it but then I realized my pulse was sky rocketing.

"Annie, I don't feel well." I halfway moaned.

"It's probably just test anxiety." She answered.

"Wait we have a TEST?!" I said shocked. "I didn't study any!" I made to get down from the tree.

"AHH!" I clutched my head which was now aching.

"What is it?!" Annie's eyes were bugging.

It was a time blast coming on, I recognized the signs.

"No!" I screamed as blackness began surrounding me. I grabbed Annie's arm. She screamed as we both fell from the tree.

I landed hard on dark dank pavement. No! I did it again. I felt like smacking my head against the pavement.

"Ow."

I whipped my head to the side to see Annie laying there. How did she get here? I did time blast didn't I? I looked around. It was night time now, pretty late by the looks of it. We were in a dirty alley. When I looked out toward the main street I could see lights that reminded me of a smaller Las Vegas.

I looked back at Annie. "Are you all right?" I asked helping her up. I had a lot of explaining to do.

"I don't know." She said fixing her glasses back on her face. "What the hell?!" She said as she got a good look at our surroundings. "You knocked me out of a tree and I end up here. Am I dead or something?!" she asked frenzied.

"Um no, It's a Time Blast."

"A Time what?!"

I sighed and told her the story of my bizarre family and my first trip, and finally about Paul and George.

"So now you've somehow taken me with you?" She asked when I had finished.

"Yeah, obviously, I've never heard of other people being able to go though." I answered.

"Why didn't you tell me this before?" She said looking slightly hurt.

"Well I was kind of hoping it wouldn't happen again." I said sadly.

"Why would you? It's a gift." She gave me one of her penetrating looks.

"And a curse!" I shot back. "Look where I've landed us."

"You know actually..." She pushed her glasses up the bridge of her nose. "I'm not quite sure where we are."

"Well I guess we might as well find out." I started heading out of the alley. As we got on to the street I noticed the signs I saw earlier were in a different language, what appeared to be-

"German." Annie stated.

"So like…Hamburg?" I asked looking around.

"It would appear to be. You've got the Beer, the clubs, and the..Eh, women." She said as a rather skimpy dressed girl walked past us.

"Wait, I thought you said we Time traveled." Annie said.

"Yeah, we did."

"Then what is Stu doing here?" She said pointing to a guy across the street exiting a club with several other guys. I had to admit, it looked a whole lot like Stu.

"Yeah that is weir- Annie!" She started running over to the group. I hurried after her. Sometimes, she lost all her wisdom.

"Are you crazy?! I asked as I reached her.

"Why, hello there ladies." We whipped around to see a great thug in leather looking us over a hungry look in his eyes. He grabbed my arm and I started flailing.

"Let her go!" Annie screamed tears going down her cheeks as she tried in vain to free me.

"Stu, help!" She cried out toward the guy we had seen earlier. Surprisingly he turned around when she yelled. He and his mates dropped their guitar cases coming to our aid. The gorilla noticed he was out numbered. He dropped me with a glare and took off.

"Why do I keep falling today?" I asked panting. I heard one the guys laugh.

"I think you've got worse problems than that, love." Wait that accent…

I looked up to see John Lennon staring down at me.
