FLCL: The Story Continues
Part 15 "A Hard Day's Night"


Lupinda3rd here I'm glad to back and I hope you're ready for this chapter, which is chuck full of the Beatles. I do not own any of the rights to any music, television, or movie references I may make. The only original character in this series is Zack.
Despite curry being his least favorite dish he actually didn't mind it. Their waitress had come over and introduced herself; they talked about the park, the rides and the best places to visit. She was a pink alien bunny named Deebs; personally Naota thought she was funny, but a little scatterbrained. The waitress soon had to take care of another customer and bid them farewell.

The three were walking down Penny Lane when Zack spotted something out of the corner of his eye. He took a look and there was a crane game with the most amazing watch. Zack played a couple of rounds with no luck and told the others that he would catch up with them later.

Haruko and Naota soon found a replica of a pub where the Beatles had originally played and went in to listen to the band. They entered the pub and there was the pink alien Deebs, "How are you doing?" she asked. She continued through her seating routine when she finally realized who they were. "I can't believe it's you…" she squealed. "I didn't think I would see you again…" she exclaimed.

Naota and Haruko were a little lost. Naota then asked Deebs, "Excuse me, um… Deebs, but why are you working here? I mean… don't you work at the restaurant?"

"Why wouldn't I work here?" asked the waitress.

Haruko, who couldn't take anymore of the inquire, then shouted, "We want to know why you are working here, after we met you in the restaurant!"

"Oh that…" exclaimed the waitress. She smiled as she answered, "Well it's for the money."

The two were soon seated and listened to the tunes and had a couple of drinks. They enjoyed songs like "I want to hold your hand", "Lucy in the sky with diamonds" and other Rock and Roll classics. Then the band allowed volunteers to sing a song with the band. Haruko shoved Naota to the stage and hollered, "Here's a volunteer!"

Naota stumbled on to the stage and the drummer Ringo asked him, "Hey boy, what song should we play?"

Naota hesitated for a moment and then he answered, "How about 'I'm Happy Just To Dance With You'?" Then Naota put his soul into singing the song as fallows.

'I'm Happy Just To Dance With You' - The Beatles

Before this dance is through
I think I'll love you too
I'm so happy when you dance with me
I don't want to kiss or hold your hand
If it's funny try to understand
There is really nothing else I'd rather do
Cause I'm happy just to dance with you
I don't need to hug or hold you tight
I just want to dance with you all night
In this world there is nothing I would rather do
Cause I'm happy just to dance with you
Just to dance with you
Is everything I need
Before this dance is through
I think I'll love you too
I'm so happy when you dance with me
If somebody tries to take my place
Lets pretend we just can't see his face
In this world there is nothing I would rather do
Cause I'm happy just to dance with you
Just to dance with you
Is everything I need
Before this dance is through
I think I'll love you too
I'm so happy when you dance with me
If somebody tries to take my place
Lets pretend we just can't see his face
In this world there is nothing I would rather do
I discovered I'm in love with you
Cause I'm happy just to dance with you

Naota took a bow to a cheering crowd, and Haruko and the band couldn't believe how well he preformed. Haruko then started to chant, "Encore, Encore…" Before they knew it everyone else began demanding another song.

Deebs was standing next to Haruko and commented, "Wow! He's good maybe you could join him."

Haruko was saying, "No, I couldn't…" Then Deebs shoved Haruko on stage and insisted the two to do a duet.


What do you get if you are forced on stage by a diabolical rabbit, and everyone wants you to do a duet, but you can't think of a song. Well we'll find out if the night ends with a cheering crowd or an angry mob in:

Part 16 "Mobs or Roses"

Catch ya later!


A Hard Day's Night – The Beatles

It's been a hard day's night
And I've been working like a dog
It's been a hard day's night
I should be sleeping like a log
But when I get home to you
I find the things that you do
Will make me feel all right
You know I work all day
To get you money to buy you things
And it's worth it to hear you say
You're gonna give me everything
But when I get home to you
I find the things that you do
Will make me feel all right

Well that's the end of another chapter. It's been fun so far and I want to get you guys involved. If you have any songs that fit in with the Fooly Cooly theme or with this story send in your suggestions through the reviews. If you are afraid of being embarrassed post an unsigned message.
