Chapter two
Janet's POV
"So it's all settled then! We strike tomorrow, at midnight!" Barbara grinned as her eyes gleamed with victory. The rest of us worked hard to contain our excitement, some of us doing better than others.
"I suggest you all head to bed. We have a big day tomorrow and you should get plenty of sleep. Goodnight." Barbara left us at the table and went to her room. As soon as the door shut the air exploded with excited chattering.
"Gosh calm down." I silenced them.
"How can we be calm when we're going to meet the Beatles tomorrow?!" Deedee grinned almost squealing.
"This could be dangerous." I thought for a moment.
"We're two elves, a pixie and a wizard the police and people can't hurt us unless we want them too." Deedee waved my concern away.
"But if someone finds out and then the board of magic finds out, we're dead, literally." I said worriedly.
"Don't worry, no one will find out." Lucy said calmly placing her hand on my shoulder.
"If you all say so." I sighed. "I trust you guys."
"Well I'm going to go to bed so I'll be well rested." Cheryl said standing up. "Don't want to meet them and be too tired to kiss them..." she mumbled stretching, then walked upstairs.
Deedee gasped. "I didn't think about that... what if he kisses me? I don't know if I'm ready for that type of intimate relationship..."
Lucy rolled her eyes. "You haven't even met them yet."
"That's true..." Deedee said starting to lighten back up again. I laughed.
"We should probably join Cheryl and get some sleep."
The next day I woke up rather early, but I'd gotten plenty of sleep. So I walked out and sat on the back porch. It was a fairly nice morning, a little chilly but mostly nice.
"Good morning." Lucy said sitting down next to me.
"Morning." I kinda mumbled. My voice hadn't woken up yet.
"Sleep well?" She asked sweetly.
"Yes, I suppose. You?"
"Yeah, except you snore really loud."
I blushed. "Sorry."
"Hahaha I'm just kidding!" She grinned and shoved my shoulder slightly. "We're gonna be eating breakfast soon and then we're gonna map out and get ready for the heist." She stood up and walked back inside.
I stayed for a moment thinking about this plan. It sounded risky but the thought of meeting the Beatles, seeing Paul McCartney's beautiful eyes in person. I sighed. Yeah that's worth anything I am so in on this.
Lucy's POV
I couldn't believe we were doing this. The five of us were stuffed in an old, small car. Decked out in awesome black ninja outfits. Barbara was re-briefing us as we drove there but it all seemed fairly simple to me and besides I actually listenened the first time. It seemed that pretty much the plan was to cause small "natural" disasters as a distraction that would also call the police away.
Barbara dropped each of us off at our stations, I was supposed to flood this small area and then sneak to the meeting spot near the hotel. I waited nervously for 12:00 and when it came I let loose the rain and water that had been building up in my power from waiting. Which ended up being perfect for doing what I wanted. People were freaking out and screaming and things started floating down the street but I made sure no one was hurt. Then I quickly swam and ran to the meeting spot and the other girls soon arrived as well.
"Everything's going perfectly!" Barbara said perkily and excited. As we started to scale the building.
Cheryl being a pixie just flew slowly and quietly as well as Deedee being a wind elf. Janet grew some sort of vine going up the side so Barbara and I climbed up it also.
"We're almost there!" Deedee exclaimed excitedly in a whisper.
Right as we were about to open the window it flung open.
"Boo!" A head popped out the window at us.
We all screamed and almost fell. In fact Cheryl did kind of fall but the man grabbed her arm and pulled her in.
"Sorry about that, love." He smiled then peered out the window and down at us. "Quite a dangerous climb you silly birds. Want us that bad?" He sniggered. "Paulie! Company!" He shouted.
It was John! I felt my heart beating faster.
"Well aren't you going to help the rest of us or are you just going to leave us hanging on the side of a tall building?" Janet asked. It was hard to tell if she was being serious or sarcastic. Maybe both.
Then Paul appeared at the window and looked down smiling. He laughed loudly for a minute.
"Well goodness John, what do we 'ave 'ere?" He grinned and helped Janet into the room.
Then Ringo showed up and pulled in Deedee who had grabbed the vine when John spooked us. He grinned happily and he and Deedee hit it off rather well and seemed to be enjoying a lovely conversation. Then I saw him, George Harrison, my favorite Beatle and luck had it that I was the only one left here. Well, except for Barbara. He smiled kindly and helped me and Barbara in.
"Sorry about that, I don't know why they just left you two hanging there." He looked out the window. "Huh, I don't remember that vine..."
"It's such an honor to meet you mr. Harrison!" Barbara grinned and shook George's hand.
"And who might you be?" He smiled.
"Barbara, Barbara Gaines." She smiled even wider.
"And I'm Lucy!" I cut in quickly and they have me an odd look. I blushed and George put his arm around my shoulders. I didn't mean to do that exactly but I was afraid Barbara was gonna get too close to my Beatle. Well I guess he's not mine but I have this chance I don't want Barbara taking it.
"It's nice to meet you Lucy. You're little red cheeks are rather cute." He winked. I blushed an even deeper shade of red and he giggled. I looked down a little causing my long hair to fall in my face. "Oh no you don't. Don't cover up that lovely face." He smiled and tucked my hair behind my ear. I smiled brightly trying to contain my excitement. This must be a dream, this couldn't be real. But it is.
