(Pru)

We are all sitting at the pool taking a break between scenes. The Boys are on each others shoulders trying to tip the other team over. Me and Lucy are sitting on the edge with our legs in the pool. "Boys get out of the pool... now."  We all get out of the pool and crowd around the seemingly angry Brian. "Now... The hotel staff found this in their kitchen. Paul you have some explaining to do." 

Paul's face  turns red and he tightens the towel around his shoulders. Then a crew member brings out the cakes on a cart, one of the three having "happy Birthday Paul" written in blue icing and a single candle in the middle. We all start singing as Brian lights the candle, Paul has a cheeky smile and big red apple cheeks.  "Happy Birthday dear Pauly... happy birthday to you." 

"Your girl stayed up late making these cakes. You are one lucky boy." Brian says after Paul blows out the candle. He wraps his arms around me and kisses me on the cheek.

"Thanks angel." He whispers, "This means a lot." We sit around the pool eating cake and everyone seems to enjoy it. "I think this is delicious... but it was a mistake love." I look at Paul with curious eyes, "Because you're going to have to make this every night for me now."  I start laughing at him.

"Macca!!!" John yells picking up Paul and throwing him into the pool. We sit around the pool and laugh for another hour before the director comes up to us and tells us it's time to film.

"Okay so just have fun, play your instruments, do whatever. The song for this scene is 'another girl' If we get any ideas for shots we'll let you know." The director tells us. So we spend the afternoon  partying on the beach and swimming in the ocean. 

"I love you Angel!" Paul calls from the water, I'm sitting cross legged on a rock watching everyone. At the pool I had a t-shirt on in the pool over my suit and everyone thought it was cute, but for the movie they want me in my suit and I'm afraid of Paul seeing my second scar. We haven't done anything since I got out of the hospital and I don't want them to ruin his day. He runs out of the water and puts his head on my knees with his feet in the sand. "Whats wrong love?"

"I just don't want to show my stomach right now. I'm having fun watching though." He grabs my shirt and pulls it up kissing my stomach. "Paul!"

"I've seen it love... I know you have a second scar. Your shirt came up while you were sleeping and I saw it. Don't worry about me angel."  I pull of my top and he throws me over his shoulder and runs back to the water. 

We finish the scene with the band playing in the rocks except John is on the drums, Ringo is playing the acoustic guitar, and Paul is using me as his bass. "Pru come here." I run over to him and he moves my arms and then stands behind me. "Stay still, look up that way, you're my bass now." That's all he said and then they started playing.

"Alright lets do that one more time! Paul I like you having your girl but try something not so awkward." He picks me up bridal style, "Alright that'll do, how about you other girls come and sit around the rest of the band?" We set up the scene and then Paul sings with me in his arms, he twists and bounces making me dizzy so I put my head in his neck and giggle as they finish filming. 

"Cut! That's a wrap guys. I'm proud of you. Have a great vacation." The director says packing up his equipment.
