"George, let's set the record straight. We're you born on the 25th or the 24th?" John asked as he took a marble cake out of the oven. It was George's 80th birthday up in heaven, he finally caught up with the others in what decade they're in. It was a relief for John and Stu because now George can stop bragging about how they're old prunes and he's still in his prime. "He's not one to talk with all that smoking making him look like a raisin when he was recording Cloud Nine." The rhythm guitarist joked.

"Well I was born on the 24th before midnight, but it would have been the 25th if it weren't for the war time setting time back an hour. And then there was the fact that I wasn't registered until the 26th." The youngest Beatle responded. "It's a really good thing we can change our physical appearances on a whim, that way I can look 30 forever!"

"The 26th now?! You might as well have a birthweek while you're at it!" John grunted. "Well at least the author doesn't have to worry about posting yet another late birthday oneshot because she was busy with a drawing."

HEY!! Okay I guess I'm always late when it comes to celebrating birthdays, but so are all my buddies on Discord! "Yeah yeah, you keep telling yourself that. Ah! The cake must be fully cooked by now, and since this is a Non-WG oneshot I don't have to whip up a whole bunch of party snacks and watch as that glutton of a man eats it all without so much as tasting it first!" John laughed. Feeling nostalgic for the old days of Beatles fics, he topped the cake off with a pile of jelly babies. "George hasn't had these in almost a decade now, come to think of it that's also how long the author has been a Beatles fan."

"Looks like George isn't the only one feeling old this year!" Stu joked, he was in charge of the decorations as the artist of the group. Linda, Maureen and Cynthia were there as well throwing purple confetti at the Beatle after he blew out his candles. Brian and George M were blowing up purple balloons and Martha was just acting cute as she couldn't do much as a dog. It seems like everyone was here to celebrate George finally turning 80, even his parents and siblings were here and bringing their own little cakes. "You think Paul would be here too? Pfft, like people still believe that theory!" George joked. "Now when can I have that cake?"

John had just finished lighting the candles, now all that was left to do was for George to make a wish. "What was it? Love and peace on earth?" The auburn haired man asked.

"Nah, it was definitely to eradicate rap music off the face of the earth." Stu retorted.

"I thought he would have wished for Olivia and Dhani to have just as good a time as he's having." Cynthia added.

"No it was definitely to get that money he sued Paul for." Brian suggested.

"Woof woof!"

"Ha, I agree with Martha. I can't tell you guys, otherwise it won't come true." George chuckled. "Now let's have some of that cake! Mm, jelly babies. That takes me back to when all the fans made it my hyperfixation, and that was back when I finally turned seventy!"

While it was no longer a mystery as to when George was born, he was more than happy to celebrate for three days in a row if it meant he got to have three times the cake and ice cream. "And make three wishes!"
