Random Beatles One Shots

Boy's Game

the beatles were stuck in their hotel room, scared of the screaming girls wandering the streets, but they were also bored.

Ringo said, "Hey guys, I know what we can do to pass the time!"

"What's that?" John asked.

"We should make up a game!"

"How would we do that?

"This rug! It's perfect!" he knelt down beside the rug and traced the tracks on it. It was a rug that you would see in a little boy's room, but for some reason it was in their hotel. Ringo actually looked like a little boy when he was kneeling down beside it! He found some cars in the closet and he got to work.

John spoke up,"Ringo, how did you know all these things were in here? And why are they in here?"

"Umm... well, I really had no idea," he said as he kept working. "I saw the rug, and I assumed they were in there. Anyway, you're spoiling the magic of the story for the readers."

"Oh," John blinked. "I thought we weren't supposed to break the fourth wall."

"It doesn't really matter, does it? You readers don't mind, do you?" Ringo asked us as he stood up, finished.

"How do we play?" Paul asked.

"Well, I don't really know," he admitted, "but I'm sure we can figure it out!"

"Maybe that's the game!" George said excitedly."we have to figure it out!"

John spoke up,"Ringo, you left out something very important."

"What's that?"

"The pit of bubbling tar," John said very matter of factly."without it, it's just a boy's game."

"WHAT?"

"The pit of bubbling tar. You know, every good game has a pit of bubbling tar."

"Oh, I guess you're right. Where do we get one?"

"Hmm..oh I know!" John exclaimed. Then he turned to Paul and sweetly asked,"will you make us a bowl of oatmeal while we work?"Paul didn't hesitate. It wasn't often that they asked of his kitchen skills. He could only make mashed potatoes.

"Sure!" he hopped right up.

"Now we'll have our pit of bubbling tar," John whispered to George and Ringo.

Once Paul was done "cooking" they placed the bowl of what might have once been oatmeal on the floor next to a police station. John grinned at Paul who had realized why they asked him to cook and was pouting on the side of the rug.

"Alright, boys, how do we play?" John asked.

"Umm..do we have dice? Everyone who gets a one and a two will be sent to the pit of no return!"John grinned at Paul.

Paul finally consented and immediately got three. He sighed, "Pit of No Return it is."

Suddenly, Brian and Mal ran into the hotel room and Mal stepped in the "Pit of No Return".

"Eew, what is this??"Mal asked, pulling bits of sticky oatmeal off his shoes.

"A Pit of No Return, why did you step in it?" John asked.

"It was on the floor, wait is this Paul's cooking?"

"what's so important, brian?" Paul said hoping to change the subject.

"John forgot to pay for his beer... and root beer."
