1975

"I think it's a great idea!" Ringo jumped up and down excitedly. "It'll be just like old times again!"

"I don't know, what if something goes wrong?"

"Don't be silly!"

"Control yourself, dad!" Elica laughed.

"I can't! We haven't been to Abbey Road Studios in so long!" He started laughing. "Let's go!"

"Alright, alright!" George dragged all three of them outside, hailing a cab. "I'm excited, too."

"What's the studio like?" Elica asked.

"Well, let's just wait until we get there, darling."

"George! Ringo!" Paul greeted them with open arms inside the doorway. "How have you been? And Elica Harrison-Starkey, look at how big you've grown!"

"Nice to see you again too, Mr. McCartney." She shook his hand.

"Oh, how many times do I have to tell you that Paul is just fine, love?" He picked up a little girl with a smile.

"Who's that?" Ringo pointed, noticing she had Asian features.

"This is my daughter Zoeii." Zoeii waved.

"She's adorable! How old are you, little one?"

"I'm nine!"she announced proudly.

"Nine, huh? We're George and Ringo, and this is our twenty-year-old daughter Elica."

"Can she be my cousin, daddy? Can she?" Zoeii jumped up and down.

"I don't know, love. What do you guys think?" Paul tried to calm her down.

"I think it's a great idea!" Elica picked her up.

"Oh, god." John stopped in the doorway, holding Sean in one arm and Yoko's in the other.

"What's he doing here?!" Paul hissed.

"Daddy?" Zoeii whimpered.

"We let him come," George explained.

"Why?!"

"Because he was part of the band too!" Ringo shouted. "And it's time for you to make up," he added softly.

"I have nothing to say to him!" He turned around.

"And I have nothing to say to him!" John huffed. Yoko just sighed, taking Sean.

"You two are being childish!" Elica announced.

"What did you say?!" John spun around with fire in his eyes.

"Hey, don't you talk to me niece that way!" Paul glared.

"I talk however the hell I want!"

"Daddy?" Zoeii quickly hid behind George and Ringo.

"This is why I hate you, you have no fucking tact!"

"Right back at ya!"

"Knock it off, you two!" George picked up Zoeii. "Don't swear in front of the children!"

"I don't know what I ever saw in you!" Paul snarled.

"What?" Yoko looked confused. Everyone ignored her.

"I don't know what I saw in YOU!"

"I don't know why I spent so many sleepless nights thinking of a man who never loved me!"

"DAMMIT, MACCA! I ALWAYS LOVED YOU! I STILL LOVE YOU!"

"Wh - what?" Paul dropped his arms.

"I said...I said I still love you," he whispered.

"What?!" Yoko screeched, nearly dropping poor Sean.

"Go, John!" Ringo cheered.

"You still love me?" he asked cautiously.

"I never stopped." John pulled him against his chest. "I wouldn't ever dream of it, Macca."

"Me neither." Paul closed his eyes, and they kissed for the first time in several years. Elica whistled as Zoeii clapped and cheered.

"What?!" Yoko squawked again.

Ringo couldn't help but laugh. "That's right! The non-old non-married couple with kids!"

"I - I -" She set Sean down, eye twitching. "I don't understand!"

"Love, me and Paul were together for many years," John explained. "I broke up with him for you. I'm so sorry, Paul."

"I forgive you."

"You - you WERE together! You told me it was only Ringo and George who were queer!" She pointed a finger at them accusingly.

"Don't call us queer!" George growled.

"Why not, aren't you? And my husband is as well!"

"You said you had no problem with queers!" Paul exclaimed.

"I don't, but the man I'm MARRIED to just kissed another man! Of course I'm upset!" Yoko paced back and forth. "It's your fault if he leaves me, you turned him queer."

"Maybe he did, maybe he didn't! Leave him alone!" John got between them.

"John, I am your wife! You can't cheat on me like that!"

"Oh, shut your mouth, ugly!" Elica yelled. "Can't you see they're in love?"

"Yay, love!" Zoeii cheered.

"Excuse me?!" she snarled. "You have no right!"

"Oh, yes I do! I want my Uncle Paul to be happy, and I'm not letting you take that happiness away from him again!" Elica's eyes sharpened. "You don't know what it's been like! You haven't been there seeing what all this has done to him like we have! He's broken all because of you two and your selfishness! And you march in here and tell me I have no right."

"That's my girl!" George patted her.

"My daddy wants happy!" Zoeii walked in front of her.

"I - he - we -" Yoko looked back and forth between the two of them.

"She's right, I do want to be happy." John bowed his head.

"What would make you happy, Johnny?" Paul asked softly.

"I think -"

"It's either him or me, John!" Yoko blurted.

"I..." He slowly looked up, tears in his eyes. "It's..."

Paul sighed. "I'm losing him again." He jumped when he felt someone pull him closer.

"I choose him."

"You what?" Yoko and Paul said in unison.

"I said I choose me soulmate." John pulled him even closer, resting his chin on top of his head. "I'm sorry."

Yoko slowly picked up Sean again, jaw dropping. "You can't be serious."

"Serious as a heart attack."

"John Winston Ono Lennon, how dare you?! Think of me, think of your son!" She gestured to Sean.

"I've made my decision," he responded flatly. "I think you should leave."

"John, you jerk!" She quickly ran out, nearly bursting into tears.

"Oh, boy." John rubbed his forehead.

Paul, George, Ringo, Elica, and Zoeii exchanged huge grins before singing, "ding dong, the witch is dead! Ding dong, the witch is dead!"

"Oh, shut up!"
