The four Beatles all made their way to Johns house. They were silent but only because they were brainstorming ideas.

George's eyebrows would scrunch together and Richard would occasionally murmur some words before going back to thinking about some ideas. John would look at Paul and they would both send each other nods as if they knew exactly what they were thinking.

When they all reached Johns house, they all filed in. Cynthia was sat on the sofa with little Julian. It was a beautiful sight but all good things have to come to an end.

"We need the living room" John said crashing down into the sofa. Cynthia, being the good wife she is, moved her and Julian into the nursery rather quietly as the rest of the band sat down.

"So has any one actually got any song ideas at all?" George said sitting back. Richard nodded and sat up.

"Well I was thinking, why doesn't the first song lead into the second song? It could be good and two of us could sing them" everyone took in Richards words and thought hard about. Would this really work?

Paul immediately stood up and paced the living room.

"I like you're thinking Ringo. This could work. The opening song could be the title of the album and well the second song, well just have to work on that one. But I like idea. What do you think John?"

John was silent for a couple seconds;taking in everything Paul had said. Throwing it about in his mind, dicing it up and then putting it back together. The others waited patiently, waiting on Johns  response. It was a tense moment as John could turn down the idea with the clap of his hands, but no one pushed him.

"I think it will work" he said smiling as the other Beatles let out a long sigh of relief.

Paul sat back down and started to bite his nails whilst John continued on with what he was saying.

"I saw an old poster the other day. It was from possibly the Victorian times and it was about a circus;Mr kites circus. It sparked an idea for a song 'for the benefit of Mr kite' I haven't for any lyrics or chords yet though"

Paul snorted at the idea.

"As great as it sounds John, it sounds rather childish doesn't it? I mean I thought this album was going to be different?" John frowned at Paul's words whilst Richard and George watched with amusement.

"It will be different Paul. I can feel it. Unless you've got another idea then I suggest you keep quiet" Paul Stayed silent "that's what I thought" John chuckled.

The lads stayed silent for a couple minutes still brainstorming and thinking about the new album. Brian loved the idea of the whole act but then there was George Martin.

They were disturbed from their thinking by Cynthia calling them all.

" would you three like to stay for dinner?" She asked popping her head round the living room door. George, Richard and Paul all nodded eagerly and quickly raced towards the dining room.

...

"Paul how is Jane lately?" Cynthia asked whilst feeding Julian. He kept refusing and John was starting to get agitated.

"Um she's doing fine, great actually." Paul replied poking at a boiled potato.

"That's great really good" Cynthia replied before picking Julian up and taking him upstairs.

"So John" George said trying to ease the tension. "Other than that Mr kite song, what other songs have you got? I've noticed the picture on your fridge and that could easily spark an idea or two" John finished his mouthful of stew before answering George.

"Julian drew it for me last week or something. A rough idea has come to mind but it needs more development before it could be discussed" George nodded before looking at the time.

"Well I best be on mate. Tell Cynthia I said thank you for dinner" Paul and Richard stood up and followed George.

"I better go too other why the missus will claw my eyes out" Ringo said. Paul just nodded in agreement with Ringo.

"We'll see you tomorrow John. I'll start writing some material and we can discuss it at the table. See you later" John nodded and the thee Beatles all left.
