"Stuart Sutcliffe's Art Institute of Heaven? You really want to be an art teacher?" John asked, looking over at the building that just went up. "Heaven's construction workers never cease to amaze me. Wish it worked like this in real life too, but really, you want to be a square teacher?"
"John? I'm hardly what you'd call a square! I might not have been a good bassist and didn't buy into the whole teddy boy stuff like you guys did back in the day but that doesn't mean I was that boring guy you saw in Backbeat. Ironically that was the author's introduction to pre Beatles history, that and Nowhere Boy. But really, I think this is a great idea, since no one else thought to have an art school up here."
"Yeah yeah, but do you even have a license to teach? There's a reason I haven't been able to teach guitar at the local school without Cyn by my side. And I doubt Astrid being a photographer means she can let you into the school business. Neither of us did all that well in school in the first place."
"Well this school is different, there won't be any homework or exams! Just all the students learning at their own pace and getting to have actual fun as they draw, it's something I hope schools on earth realize in order to get kids to stop hating school so much. Oh, and do you know why the school was built today of all days?"
"Oh wait don't tell me! For Sonic's 31st anniversary? Wait we don't like Sonic so that can't be it, uuuh. I remember back in 2018 George ate a cake and you were really upset about that, is this to get back at him?"
"Okay you got a little warmer on that guess. But do you know why I got that upset about George being a pig?"
"I'm just playing Stu! I know today's your birthday, I just wanted to know if you'd fall for me playing dumb like that." John laughed, slapping his friend on the back. "Also I needed to buy some time for George to finish decorating Friar Park until you got back, this time he promised to not take a bite out of your cake!"
"Yeah well he better not, especially now that I'm a teacher and he tried to get Dhani to skip school on multiple occasions! I ought to put him in the corner for that alone, maybe have him clean the tables after every class." Stu joked, now smelling a fresh chocolate cake in the air. "How about we all head down for Ringo's birthday in July? I wanna know how he ages backwards now, how else does he look so young?"
"Anyone looks like a mummy compared to him, but for now let's celebrate your big day and the opening of your school with some cake! And then tomorrow you can worry about all the paperwork and teacher's salary that comes with the job."
"Pft, as if I'm worried about money."
