"Ok, I think I have a theory, albeit a stupid one, but it's all I've got. Somehow, us entering those phone booths intertwined with you trying to time travel back to 1964. Maybe there was some type of gas in there? I don't know, but I guess the time machine picked us up in the process. It's odd."

"Wait...did you say time machine?" John excitedly asks. "YOU HAVE A TIME MACHINE?!"

"Yes. It's a bit of a piece of junk at the moment, but I can probably fix it-"

"That's so cool!!"

They entered the malfunctioned machine acting like curious kids.

"Wait! Guys, be careful with that! This machine is very sensitive! Please don't press anything-"

It's too late. They've already pushed every single button they had laid their eyes on. Thankfully, almost none of them worked due to the error that brought us all here in the first place. Nonetheless, it still wasn't safe to have all of these grown up children coming beyond close to pressing something that could trigger another mixup event.

"What does this button do? What does this button do?"

"Do any of these buttons give you food? I think I lost all of my biscuits to the cause."

"Hey, Paul! I think I found the one that starts it. We should go somewhere!"

"John, no. You heard the girl. We shouldn't even be messing with this thing anyway."

"Aw, you're no fun."

Do I really have to be their babysitter?

Yes, apparently.

"That's it! Everyone out! No one is going anywhere! I doubt it even works anyway!"

They all shamefully exited. Well, all except one...

"Maybe I should be the one to test that theory..."

"John, I'm warning you. I love you. I love all of you, but if you screw with that time machine I'm gonna-"

John pouts. "But I wanna go on an adventure!"

George rolls his eyes. "How old are you again?"

John turns away, walking out of the device...

Or so it seemed.

"Ok, ok, I'll come back-" He started, purposefully leaning on the button to travel where to my surprise, it actually worked for him.

"Oops." He spoke in a condescending tone.

"John!" We screamed as sparks flew from the fully functional machine.

"It's ok, guys!" Ringo smiles. "Y/N said it doesn't work! That means John is just fine and he'll be back any second, right? Right?"


"Right?..."
