"WAKE UP!" Someone yelled. John leaped up quickly and stared into a round face with a mustache. He looked at bit irritated. John shook his head and put his feet down off the bed, bunk bed at that. He then noticed he was back in the barrack he and the band had dropped into.

"Oh my gosh! Why...how?" John looked around then at the fat soldier.

" Get dressed and get out now." The guard said.

"And your name is?" John asked putting his trousers back on.

"Schultz."

"Oh yeah i remember you."

"Wha?"

John shook his head. "Never mind."

"Get out."

"I'am!" John said quickly. He walked out and shivered as a cold gust of wind hit his face. He saw the others and stood next to him. He noticed that the others were in uniform, then looked down at himself. He was in one too.

They were all accounted for at road call and John hurried inside.

"Its freezing outside!" Ringo moaned.

"Why am i in an American uniform?" John asked.

"Why wouldn't you be? Would you rather be in a German one?" Carter asked.

"Im British, if you haven't noticed!"

"Sorry, John, but we didn't have a British one. Im the only Brit, theres mainly Americans." Newkirk said taking a drink of coffee.

"How'd we get back here? We were just leaving Paul's family kitchen to look for these two!" John asked pointing to George and Ringo.

"Something happened, which i don't remember." Newkirk said.

"Well who's ready for be assigned to something?" Hogan asked.

"I want to play my drums." Ringo put his head on his hands.

"Amazing how they haven't taken your rings away." LeBeau said to Ringo.

"They better not!" Ringo covered his hands.

"Paul you okay?" George asked his friend. 

Paul slowly shook his head, still staring off in a different direction.

"Paul!" John pushed Paul's arm. 

"Ow." Paul put his hand over his arm.

"Whats wrong?"

"Im confused." 

"We all are." Hogan patted his shoulder.

"I rather like this army uniform." John smiled.

"Hey we could totally go...go see...um...go see...uh our families!" George pointed out.

"Why?"

"Don't know."

"We're this little!" John made a foot long with his hands.

"Well just an idea."

The doors opened and in came Schultz with three other prisoners.

"They are moving in."

"New?" Newkirk asked.

"Yes what do you think?" Schultz stated.

"Col. Hogan." Hogan offered him his hand. The man took his hand and nodded.

"Sgt. Roberts."

"See you Schultz." Newkirk said as the Sargent left the building.
