Regular POV-(the next day)-
"I want a Big Mac"
"No Elvis, those are heart attacks on a bun! Have some chicken nuggets instead"
"I'll have whatever I want Sophie!"
Me-(wakes up instantly from dream) Elvis, Eat the damn chicken!
"What kind of dreams are you having?"
I turned my head & saw George enter my room with a tray of pancakes, bacon, & scrambled eggs & a glass of orange juice.
Me- I had a dream about Elvis Presley not wanting chicken nuggets even though I was convincing him to eat them because they are healthier than Big Macs.
George- Well anyway, Happy Birthday!
Me- Breakfast in bed? aw, how sweet! Thank you!
I hug & kiss him on the cheek.
George- the best is yet to come, trust me.
Later-
We went to John's house where we found John & Ringo near the BBQ grill while talking to Julian & Cynthia. Ringo spots us & smiles
Ringo- Hey George! And Happy Birthday Sophia!
I smiled & hugged him
Me- thank you
"Hi Everybody!"
I turned my head & saw Paul with an old man walking next to him. I gave him a hug
Paul- Happy birthday Soph. Sorry i'm late, I had to pick up my grandfather at the train station.
George- I thought your grandfather lived at your house!
Paul- This is my other one.
Ringo- He seems clean.
Paul's Grandfather- I want me coffee! Where are we anyway?
Paul- we're here at John's house. We're celebrating his family reunion & my friend Sophie's birthday.
I brought foward my hand a little so he can shake it
Me- I'm Sophia Valezuela.
Paul's Grandfather- Are you from Spain?
Me- No. My parents were Mexican American.
Paul's Grandfather- (mumbles to Paul but I can still hear) Next time you choose a girlfriend, be sure her name originates in a country from Europe & not North America.
George- She can hear you, you know! We both can! She's not his girlfriend
Paul- She's his.
Paul's Grandfather grumbles & gets some potato salad.
Me- Ok, that was odd. I never knew my name was so important.
Paul- I'm sorry. He's just not the most social person in the world & he has European pride.
George- I can see.
John puts on a rock station on the radio
It's the Fab Four at Four. A whole hour of nothing but music from our own cheeky lads from Liverpool!
Ringo- Sophie, you've danced with everyone else but me. I hereby ask you formaly for a dance.
Me-(shrugs) why not?
"I wanna Be Your Man" starts playing & we both danced as we sang along. After the first verse we got tired of singing along to it & Ringo whispers to me
Ringo- Soph, you do know George's birthdays tomorrow right?
Me-yeah. How odd that our birthdays are just a day apart!
Ringo- Well, Paul's gonna distract George for the morning & he asks for both of us to get his gifts tomorrow. Meet me at the shopping center tomorrow at noon.
Me-alright
George's POV-
"You let your lady-friend dance around with one of your close mates?"
I turned & saw Paul's grandad.
Me- She deserves fun on her birthday. Besides, I trust her with my friends because they're her friends too.
Paul's Grandfather- Ah I see. But your girlfriend is quite stunning, and any male would notice her. Even males that you thought were your friends.
I began to get suspicious. Paul's always explaining his grandad was a real mixer, so how can I take him seriously?
Me- Are you saying that me band mates fancy my girl?
Paul's Grandfather- It's common sense George! Analyze it...
GRANDAD!
He turns & Paul looks angry
Paul's Grandfather- Don't try your clean mixing ways with George here! He's smarter than you think! And no grandad, I dont fancy her. None of us do. We only accept her as a friend & that's final!
Paul's grandad looks angry & sulks in a corner.
Me- Thanks Paul. I thoguht he'd never leave.
Paul- you didnt fall for his tricks, did you?
Me- No. I know better
Regular POV-
The song was over & I got some water. I sat next to George who was watching John & Cynthia dance to "Twist And Shout"
George- so are you enjoying yourself?
Me- yes. Very much. This is the best birthday I've ever had. Thank you for all this.
George- dont thank us yet! You thank us after you get your presents.
Me- aw you shouldnt have.
George- we did anyway.
"Hello Goodbye" then starts playing & all of us (except for Paul's grandad) dance to it. Even on the "hey-la, hello hel-lo ah" we all do a dosey doe. The song was over & John calls us over.
John- Ok, I call a toast. (we lift our glasses) A toast to happiness & togetherness since those are the themes for tongiht. Me with my family reunion & Sophie for her birthday. Cheers!
We all drink
John- now since thats out of the way, it's time for the presents! No wait...we have somthing to tell you.
All the guys get on thier homemade stage (is that safe?) & play a familiar riff. I burst out laughing once i recognized what song it was.
Paul & John- You say it's your birthday! It's my birthday too yeah!...
(i dont wanna write the whole song so go hear it or look up the lyrics)
Once the song was over, Cynthia, Julian & I clapped.
Paul- bring out the gifts!
