Marie POV

I wondered how things got so awkward. We were enjoying ourselves, and then... I don't know. For the sake of George's mom, we held hands so she didn't think anything was up. We got to my house, and I invited him in. He just stayed in the door way. Deciding to leave him be, I looked at the couch. Sitting there was...

"Phoenix?"

"Marie!" She ran up to me and crushed me in a bear hug. Not surprising, seeing as I havent seen her since I was ten.

Quick bio on Phoe: She is fifteen years old, and lives in Liverpool. She is absolutely obsessed in the 70's. But that's one of the things I love about her. She's also my cousin.

Phoe looked at the doorway and her eyes grew wide. Again, she yelled. Something I wasn't expecting though.

"Georgie!" Then she ran and gave him a bear hug. I was just surprised.

"You two know each other?" George just smiled. then Phoe spoke up.

"I used to babysit the little bugger when he was little." She said ruffling his hair.

"I, um, better go. Me mum's probably mad at me for making her wait. See ya at school Marie. Bye Phoenix."

"See ya George" We both said at the same time. Me and Phoe are weird like that. We could be apart for years, but we are always in synch. As soon as George left, I asked her,

"Why didn't you say you were coming to visit?" She smirked.

"I did, I just told your mum to keep it a secret. I knew I would surprise you."

"Okay. Anyway, do you know anyone in Liverpool by the names of John Lennon or Paul McCartney?" She lit up at the mention of John's name. Someone's got a crush on Lennon.

"I do actually. John recently moved out here, and Paul's getting ready to move. You Americans are stealing all my friends."

"Well, John has been teaching me and George how to play guitar. Well, mostly me, seeing how George has moved way ahead of me with little help from John. He's really sweet," her eyes darkened a little at this. She's got more than a crush on Lennon, " but George is way sweeter. So, where are you going to be sleeping?" That's one of the good things about me. I can change subjects very quickly.

"In your room, because me mum is sleeping in your guest room. Speaking of which, I'm going to bed. 'NIght."

"Night." I decided to get ready, too. It was almost 9, and I was really tired. I got ready in a sort of daze. I had gotten back to thinking about George. I decided to just ignore it. It was our first date. I fell asleep quickly.

A/n: Again, sorry it's short. I still have a bit of writer's block. Anyway, thanks to CheekyVixen7 for letting me use Phoenix. Though at the time she was talking through LilyEyes777 because she didn't have an account yet. Review, and get virtual Beatles items!
