With a Click of his clawed fingers John Lennon's outfit changed to that of a red version of his Sgt Pepper outfit and a red guitar appeared in John's hands and he said to me "So are you ready?" I replied "As ready as I could be" I walked out back on stage and the crowd cheered and John stood off stage to be introduced. I walked up to the Microphone and said "Hello everyone you have been a great crowd for us performers tonight that I thought that I would give you all a treat. Everyone please give a warm welcome to Mr. John Lennon!" John ran out onto stage and patted my back and the the crowd went wild with cheers. One spectator tried to run on stage and was tackled and beaten.

John looked at me and asked "So what do you want to play first?" I then asked "Lucy in the sky with diamonds?" John smiled and said "Fantastic" and then walked over to the keyboard with his guitar and began to a just it and when he was ready he gave me the thumb up and began to play.

"Picture yourself in a boat on a river
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes


Cellophane flowers of yellow and green
Towering over your head
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes
And she's gone


Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Ah


Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain
Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers
That grow so incredibly high


Newspaper taxis appear on the shore
Waiting to take you away
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds
And you're gone


Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Ah


Picture yourself on a train in a station
With plasticine porters with looking glass ties
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile
The girl with the kaleidoscope eyes


Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Ah


Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Ah


Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds"


We then walked to the front of the stage and took a bow and everyone cheered. John then whispered in my ear "How about we do Mind Games?" I lit up and nodded and then John walked up to the Microphone and began talking "Before Carter and I perform our next song I would like to quickly talk about life here in Hell. Having lived here for the past 40 years after I was    assassinated I have come to see the destruction, the anarchy, the hurt that happens here. Recently I have come to have the pleasure of meeting Carter this year. For 40 years all I have ever seen is the evil and bitterness that damned souls have down here but my friend Carter here has otherwise proven me different. Never have I met a soul who is as kind and caring as Carter down here. He sees the good of damned and doesn't believe that we can't make a difference down here. Now I believe that now also. When I was alive I pushed for peace at a time when the world was at each others throats, and in a way we are down here. With all the death that happens down here from murders, gang wars and the annual purge, isn't it time that we at least tried to make things better?"

Everyone was quiet and looked around at each other, some of them nodded their heads and mumbled to each other and John continued "Our Princess lately has been getting a lot of criticism lately for wanting to explore the idea of rehabilitation of damned souls to get us to the promised land. I'm sure that most of you watched the broadcast and laughed at the idea, I will admit I did at the time also. But every great idea in history was onced laughed at...Anyway I think that this next song will convey those feelings and thoughts". John stepped back and nodded at the backing band and at me and we began to play. 

"We're playing those mind games together
Pushing the barrier, planting seed
Playing the mind guerrilla
Chanting the Mantra "peace on earth"


We all been playing those mind games forever
Some kinda druid dude lifting the veil
Doing the mind guerrilla
Some call it magic, the search for the grail


Love is the answer and you know that for sure
Love is a flower
You got to let it, you gotta let it grow


So keep on playing those mind games together
Faith in the future, out of the now
You just can't beat on those mind guerrillas
Absolute elsewhere in the stones of your mind

Yeah, we're playing those mind games forever                                                                                        Projecting our images in space and in time

Yes is the answer and you know that for sure                                                                                                      Yes is surrender                                                                                                                                                                You got to let it, you gotta let it go

So keep on playing those mind games together                                                                                            Doing the ritual dance in the sun 

Millions of mind guerrillas
Putting their soul power to the karmic wheel
Keep on playing those mind games forever
Raising the spirit of peace and love
Love
I want you to make love, not war
I know you've heard it before"


As John faded the song out he just stood there quietly looking at the ground, the only thing I thought of doing was putting a paw on his shoulder and patting it. The crowd was awkwardly quiet for a long time until I could hear a lone Hellhound clapping and then another, then another. Soon everyone was clapping a cheering and John noticed this and I saw a tear run down his cheek. I said to John "Lets take a bow shall we?" John smiled and he held my paw and we took a bow. John and I exited the stage and we went back to the VIP lounge, John clicked his fingers and John's outfit changed back to what he was originally wearing and his guitar disappeared and we slinked back down in the booth and I sat down next to Loona who kissed my cheek and hugged me.
