A/N: I uh, I have no excuse as to why I'm so late. Writer's block sucks, especially when you're juggling other stories, as well as a novel. Anyways, here we go, and I hope you enjoy!

1964

"We're gonna be in a film! This is great, hug me!" Ringo cheered, hugging George.

"Control yourself," John sarcastically sneered. "The working title is stupid."

"I know, right? Beatlemania? What were they thinking? It's bloody awful." Paul started making funny faces at the camera. "Is anyone else tired? We've been filming for hours!"

Ringo sighed. "It's been a hard day!" George cleared his throat, pointing out the window. "...night," he finished lamely.

"Did he just say 'it's been a hard day night'?"

"Oh great, another Ringo-ism. No, a hard day's night sounds better." Paul flipped the bird at the camera lazily.

"Hold on. It's been a hard day's night," his boyfriend started. "And I've been working like a dog!"

"What's supposed to rhyme with that?"

"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 alright!" they finished in perfect harmony.

"Just fuck already."

"What do you mean, already? You do realize we have, right?" John turned around.

"JOHN, NO!" Paul squeaked.

"JOHN, YAS!" he mocked.

"Kill me."

"I'll show him!" John walked over to Ringo, playing his guitar. "If I fell in love with you, would you promise to be true and help me understand? 'Cause I've been in love before, and I found that love is more than just holding hands."

"He is flirting with me man," George glared at him off-camera. "As soon as we finish filming, Ringsy is so going to get it."

"Oh yeah? I'm not waiting that long, so move over." Paul stepped in front of him. "HEY, JOHN! STOP IGNORING ME, YOU SWINE!"

"CUT!" the director yelled. "Really? Could all of you stop fooling around for at least a few minutes so we can get something done?!" He stomped off angrily.

"...swine." Everyone in the room laughed. "I'm gonna borrow Paulie for a moment, okay?" John started dragging him away.

"No, we need him in this scene!"

"Too bad. Paul?" He sat down next to him.

"Yeah?"

"Where do you see us in, say, ten years?"

"Honestly? In 1974, we'll still be together and making music."

He tapped his nose. "1974? What about in 1980? And '85?"

"Yes, still doing what we do now." Paul gave him his hand so they could go back to the set, but John refused.

"Promise?"

"Yeah, of course I promise. I promise..." His eyelids drooped, and then they fell asleep with their heads on each other's shoulders.

"Anyone seen those two?" George blinked.

Ringo shook his head. "We can find them later, they're probably happy where they are right now. Movie or no movie, it can wait."

"How long, though?"

"Oh, I'd say," he whispered in his ear, "an eternity."
