John and Cynthia have now been married for two whole years, although they wouldn't be able to celebrate together today with the Beatles busy touring. They could still speak together on the phone but it wasn't the same as being together in person. "It's also a long time until the invention of Discord, so we can't do videochat either." John joked. "It would be nice if somehow there was a way to bring future tech to the past..... Hey this is the part where I get interrupted by-"
Sorry I fell asleep when I should be writing, it happens a lot. Anyways, a bright light shone outside the hotel as soon as he finished his sentence. It landed just a ten minute walk from the building, although John ran there in just half the time to see what it was. "Whoa, I bet it's a UFO with way cool looking aliens with cat paw beads and eye stalks! Or maybe they could be the traditional little green men in all those movies, or maybe they'll be huge space squids with transparent heads so you can see their brains!"
However that's not what he got, much to his shock the alien that came out looked like Ringo! If Ringo was older and grew a beard anyways, he was in a metallic blue spacesuit with a bright star on his chest. "I knew that Ringo was an out of this world drummer but I didn't mean it literally!"
The Ringo alien looked confused as he approached the rhythm guitarist, he was holding a large egg. "Is that yours? Look I've already got a kid at home, I don't think I can raise a space bird too. Tim and the others would probably try to eat it."
The alien laughed, handing the egg to him. Pressing a button on the side, the egg opened up into a laptop. "Whoa, this is some epic future tech here! Hey what's this bar on the side?"
"What you have there is an iBook, a state of the art computer from the future. With a few added adjustments from our planet, you can send holographic messages to anyone!"
"Really? Wow the future is awesome!"
"Well... I wouldn't say that but we do have our perks, just type your address and then click on the call button. You keep it, I can always buy the next model when it comes out in a week." The Ringo alien insisted. "I better get back to my time now. Uh, maybe best you're the only one who knows about this, or else the timeline will get messed up. I think, I never actually brought everyone future tech before."
John just shrugged as the alien flew off, leaving him with the laptop. "Well might as well wish Cyn a happy anniversary while I can."

Back at Kenwood, Julian was sound asleep in his room while his mother was sitting at the table with her wedding photos. "I can't believe someone managed to get a shot of the guy drilling next door. Did he not think some people were trying to get married next door?"
"Tell me about it."
Cynthia immediately jumped upon hearing her husband's voice. "I didn't think you'd be back so s-wait, how come you're all blue and fuzzy looking?"
John's hologram grinned as he sat down. "You'd never believe me if I told ya, but isn't this cool? We can talk face to face thanks to future tech! I mean it's not surprising in the time period that brought us flying cars and the end of all bigotry." He joked. "But anyways, happy anniversary Cynnie! I promise to get ya a gift you'll never forget."
"Like that roast chicken you sent to Mimi?"
"Pfft, maybe. Only this time we're actually gonna eat it! And give the trimmings to the cats, you think Jules would like this top I got?"
"Maybe he'd like that new space toyset that came out, one of the figures looks like Ringo actually."
John paused for a moment, only to laugh it off. "Sure, I'll get him that. I'd kiss ya if I weren't just a bunch of moving pictures here."
"I'll blow you a kiss then, Johnny. Happy anniversary to you too."
