Ivy

We got to the hotel to put our luggage away, when we realized, we had no key.

"I'll call Brian." He said as he walked down the hall. I looked at my peace medallion, it glowed a strange orange-y-red color. I picked it up and looked at the back and saw the 3 warp into words.

'2 for 3, 3 for 2'

I shivered, thinking about what Teddy said happened to hers.

"RINGO!" I yelled as he came down the hall.

"What, what's the matter?" he asked.

"My medallion, it said 2 for 3, 3 for 2 or something like that!" I said, "Do you think it could be two people?"

"I don't know, let's go outside, Brian said George has the keys,"

We walked around for a while until we got EXTREMELY hungry. So we stopped for hot dogs. Mine was gone in a matter of seconds, while he ate his little by little. Ringo started to get nervous, he was tapping his fingers against my hand.

"Hey Ivy?" He asked.

"Yeah," I said.

"I have to ask you something very important," He said, "It's been 8 months since you came here, and we've been together ever since," He said.

"So, are you breaking up with me?" I asked starting to get upset.

"NO! NO! Not at all!" HE said.

"Oh, good," I took a deep breath.

"I-I was wondering," He stuttered, "What kind of person are you, are you the kind that wants to stay single her whole life, or do you want to get married, and have a family?" He asked quickly, "Metaphorically speaking, that is," He added.

"Well, since it's a Metaphorical question, I suppose I would want to get married," He perked up.

"Really? Well in that case, Ivy, will yo-"

"AH! IT'S RINGO STARR!" Someone yelled from across the square, everyone followed her gaze to see us.

"You just can't ask a question anymore? Can you?" He mumbled, he gripped my hand and we ran for it. We ran for a few miles, and bust through the doors of a small diner. As we sat down in a booth, Ringo pulled something out of his pocket, and put it on the table already opened, it was a small box with a diamond ring in it. He smiled.

"What?" I asked.

"What are you BLIND? He's askin you to marry him!" the waitress behind the counter squealed.

"I know, but I want to see if he will say the words," I said.

"Ivy Thorkleston, will you do me the honors of being my wife?" He asked.

"Absolutely!" I said he leaned over and gave me a kiss, and put the ring on my ring finger, and smiled. He looked at the wall, and gasped.

"We better get going! George will be there by now, and I'm really tired!" He laughed. We walked back to the hotel just in time to see Teddy jumping to get the key from George's hand that was high above her head.

"GEORGE! PLEASE! GIVE ME THE KEY!" She jumped.

"NO! You are just gonna take a nap, and leave me here all alone!" He said, "Hey Richard, how'd it go?" He asked putting emphasis on it.

"How's what go?" Teddy asked, taking this opportunity to take the key from George's hand with ease.

"Teddy, you and I have a lot to talk about.," I said as she unlocked the door. She sat down and stared.

"Ok, what happened?"

"Well," I didn't know how to explain, so I pretty much just showed her my hand and prayed she wouldn't tackle me.

"Where, When, and How?"

"A diner, about 10 minutes ago, and he just kinda asked,"

"REALLY? You couldn't EXAGGERATE? Just a little?" She asked. I shrugged, and and grabbed my suitcase to start unpacking. The next 2 days flew by, and the next thing I knew, it was the 31st of July, and the boys were going to dress rehearsal.

"Well, what are we supposed to do while your gone?" Teddy asked.

"What did you do before you got here?" John asked as he put on a tie.

"Well, I sat around and did absolutely nothing, while she went out, made money, and pay bills!" I said triumphantly. I looked in John's room and saw a pile of comic books, "Ooh!" I picked them up and ran in my room with them.

"WHAT ABOUT ME?" Teddy asked.

"That's selfish, you can read these with me though," I said. The boys soon left, and I set my plan into motion, "Alright, get dressed, we are going out," I said taking the book from her hand.

"Why?" She asked.

"Well, I think we should get all dressed up for George and Ringo, you know...for the show..." I said.

"Oh, I see! Sure, just let me get ready!" She said jumping off her bed, and running into the bathroom. Once we were ready to go, we went to a place called Defaso.

"How bout this one?" Teddy asked, as she held up a dark purple above knee-length dress.

"It's great," I said looking around, and spotting a bright red dress, and it was in my size. I ran over to it, and picked it up, "I want his one!" I said as I started taking her to the register.

"WAIT! I want this one too! and look, it's in my size!" She said

"There is only one way to settle this," I said and we raced to the fitting rooms. We then came out in the dress.

"CURSES! You look better than me!" I said, looking at her. I finally decided on a floral print knee-length dress. We then went home after paying for them, and started planing how we were gonna present ourselves.
