Monica approached the door of the boy’s flat. She had just gotten a call from Paul who sounded ecstatic about something and told her to come over right away.

She walked in the door not bothering to knock, she went over so often that they no longer cared. As she came in she saw sitting on the couch smiling the wide toothy smiles the four boys along with Cynthia. They were staring at her waiting for her to come in.

She stood in front of them waiting for one of them to tell her what's going on but they all just kept smiling and looking around at each other until finally Paul jumped up out of his seat. “We have big news!” he almost shouted and looked like he wanted to bounce up and down with excitement. “No way really, you all hide it so well.” she replied sarcastically.

“Oh sod off, we cant help being excited!” Ringo shouted to her, still smiling like a mad man. Paul nodded and looked ready to burst, “We just got a call this morning… We’re wanted in America!”  Monica’s eyes opened wide, “Wow thats so great! You get to go to America?” Paul shook his head, “No, we get to go to America, because you're coming with us!”

She was shocked to say the least, “Are you serious?! That's amazing!” She gave Paul a big hug, “When?”

“Plane leaves February 7th” he answered.

“February 7th? That’s less than a week away!”

“Yeah, it's a bit late notice, but come on, its going to be great, this is going to make us huge!”

“I can't get off work that last minute, my boss would never let me.”

“Who cares? Quit.”

“I can't, I need a job Paul.”

“I'll help you find another one, that job makes you miserable anyway. Besides, you still owe me for the anniversary remember, let this be how you make it up.”

Monica just looked at him debating her options, unsure what to do. Ringo stood up suddenly, “Come on please just come, it wouldn't be the same without you.”

“And the best part is it won't cost you a thing.” Paul added.

Monica narrowed her eyes for a moment then smiled brightly, “Alright you swines I'll come. This is going to be so great!” She got suddenly excited and gave each of the boys a big hug. Paul was right, she hated her job, maybe when she got back to America she would get a better one, besides, she had a feeling this trip was going to be amazing, and boy was she right...
