Chapter 7: An unlikely help

(Disclaimer! I own nothing of Grojband or The Beatles)

Everyone else was on the bus riding through a place called Penny Lane.

"And here is a little town called Penny Lane," said Mayor Mellow, "A beautiful place."

Nichole Vallory was looking at her laptop.

"A few more hours and its bye bye Grojband," she said in a strange voice

Carrie was looking for Train and Mina.

"I wonder where they ran off to," said Carrie.

"I'm sure they'll be fine," said Kim, "What matters is that we have the spotlight."

"True, but I don't want Grojband's career ruined," said Carrie, "I just want a time to shine."

"Someone likes Corey," said Konnie.

Penny Lane (From Magical Mystery Tour)

Mayor Mellow: In Penny Lane there is a barber showing photographs
Of every head he's had the pleasure to know
And all the people that come and go
Stop and say hello

On the corner is a banker with a motorcar
The little children laugh at him behind his back
And the banker never wears a mack
In the pouring rain, very strange

Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
There beneath the blue suburban skies
I sit, and meanwhile back

In Penny Lane there is a fireman with an hourglass
And in his pocket is a portrait of the queen
He likes to keep his fire engine clean
It's a clean machine

Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
A four of fish and finger pies
In summer, meanwhile back

They were riding all around the little city and people were taking pictures. Meanwhile Corey and Laney were looking for the others. "I hope we find them soon," said Laney, "I'm getting worried."

Behind the shelter in the middle of a roundabout
The pretty nurse is selling poppies from a tray
And though she feels as if she's in a play
She is anyway

In Penny Lane the barber shaves another customer
We see the banker sitting waiting for a trim
And then the fireman rushes in
From the pouring rain, very strange

Penny lane is in my ears and in my eyes
There beneath the blue suburban skies
I sit, and meanwhile back
Penny lane is in my ears and in my eyes
There beneath the blue suburban skies
Penny Lane

Later that evening, Carrie was leaving her room to get some water.

"Man, I'm thirsty," she said.

She overheard some noises.

It was Nichole Vallory.

"Within the next 3 hours the cannon will fire on Strawberry Fields thus destroying Grojband once and for all," she said in her strange voice.

"Strawberry Fields?" asked Carrie to herself, "That must be where they are!"

"N'orb to the orbs," said Nichole, "The cannon is ready."

Carrie punched the door down.

"Aha!" said Carrie, "The jig is up Orb!"

The orb left Nichole's body and revealed herself.

"That's right," said N'orb, "I'm planning to destroy Grojband! Our goal is finally accomplished."

"More like your goal," said Carrie, "I said I wanted to become twice as good as Grojband. I never said anything about killing them."

"But this could be a revolution," said N'orb, "You girls could be the best band in the world if we work together!"

"I'm a boy!" shouted Larry.

Revolution (From Love)

Carrie: You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world

N'orb tried to get away but Larry blocked her.

Carrie: You tell me that it's evolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world

But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know that you can count me out

N'orb: Don't you know it's gonna be alright
Alright, alright

Carrie: You say you got a real solution
Well, you know
We'd all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well, you know
We're all doing what we can

But if you want money for people with minds that hate
All I can tell you is sister, you have to wait

N'orb: Don't you know it's gonna be alright
Alright, alright, al...

N'orb ran and The Newmans chased her. "Don't let that orb get away!"

Carrie: You say you'll change the constitution
Well, you know
We all want to change your head
You tell me it's the institution
Well, you know
You'd better free your mind instead

They caught up with and surrounded her before she could run.

Carrie: But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao
You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow

N'orb: Don't you know know it's gonna be alright
Alright, alright

Konnie grabbed N'orb and threw her into outer space. Kim took the laptop and smashed it shutting down the cannon.

Carrie: Alright, alright
Alright, alright
Alright, alright
Alright, alright

"So what happens now?" asked Kim.

"I never thought I'd say this… but Newmans," said Carrie, "Let's save Grojband."
