After their bikeride, they had seperated so they could go home and get the gear they needed for the boat ride they were going to be on in another couple hours.
They all were on edge as they packed up their gear. They met each other at the docks, with Paul being the first to show all the way to John being the last again.
"Why is it yer always last Lennon?"
"Because you always get here before me."
"Not a good excuse. Come earlier."
"How long 'ave ye been waiting?"
"For you? 10 minutes. For everyone total, 30."
"Is that all? I thought you would say something like 'an hour or two' because yer always early."
"I would much rather be early than late."
"And I would much rather be late than early."
"Ugh. This conversation is useless. Come on."
George hopped on the boat first, followed by John, Ringo and Paul, in that order. "Okay. Everyone ready to go?"
"Yeh."
John started up the engine and they were off. The ride was quiet until Paul caughed.
"Paul, you better not be sick again."
"I'm not. I just drank some water."
"Do you always choke when drinking water?"
"Yes. It isn't the first time."
"Drink it slowly. Don't guzzle it down. We need you alive for the show. If you die before we get to the show, I'll kill ye."
"How? I'll already be dead."
"I'll bring you back to life and kill ye again."
John felt something hit the back of his head. "Ey. Do you mind?"
"No." Paul said as he threw a tiny rock at him.
"Ey. Knock it off."
"Oh, alright."
"Look Paul, we're here to get our minds off the show, not to annoy everyone."
"Its always so much fun to annoy others. Especially the one who's driving."
"No. I will give the wheel over to George or Ringo and drown you in the water. There's plenty of that around ye know."
"You? Drown me? Never. You need me."
"Says who?"
"Me. Didn't ye just hear me?"
"Nope. I'm sorry. What did ye say?"
********
Ten minutes have passed. John had gotten to a good spot out in the middle of the sea where land was barely visible. "Okay. We're here." He said and walked to the gear he packed.
Ringo grabbed his fishing rod and started to get prepared for fishing. (I used to go fishing all the time. I miss it terribly. Used to do it in the gulf of Mexico. Was always so much fun.)
Instead of John getting his fishing rod, he took off his shirt and took a dive in the water.
"Welp, we lost one."
Ringo laughed. "Lets see if I can catch him." He at that moment started fishing before he felt a tug on the line. "Ey. I think I got him."
"It could be a fish ye know."
"No. It was too quick."
"Reel him in."
Ringo started to reel in whatever he caught. Then, he saw John poke his head out of the water with the fishing hook in his hand.
"What should I name him?"
"How about John Lennon? He looks like a John to me. Don't you think?"
"Yeh. I guess so."
"Do you mind? I'm trying to have my morning swim."
"Its been a while since you swam in the ocean John."
"I know. I love it. I miss it. I should come here everyday. Don't you think?"
"Nah. You got too much to do to come here everyday. Remember: recording songs, writing songs, making movies, not to mention fighting bad guys. That's alot of stuff to do."
John sighed. "If ye say so."
Then, John threw the line back in the water and decided to join the others on the boat. He climbed the latter and grabbed a towel he had brought with him before wrapping it around himself. "The water felt good though."
"I bet it felt cold when you first hit the water right?"
"Right. But I got used to it."
"Already? You were only in there for a few minutes."
"I know. I was underwater too."
"See anything interesting down there?"
"No."
The four of them had now started fishing at different ends of the boat. "Anyone want fish tonight?"
"I'll have it.........if we ever catch anything."
"We will. We're doing this all day."
"Did ye ever tell Cyn yer here?"
"Of course. I wouldn't lie to her Paul. Never liked lying in me life."
"I bet you did when you were growing up."
"Well..........I was just a kid then."
"Right. And kids lie to get away with stuff. When you were a teen, you were a rebel and a thief." George brought up.
John shrugged. "Yeh. So?"
"Were you ever caught stealing?"
"Uh.........no. I loved rebelling. No one ever did anything about it."
"Because they didn't know you were a thief."
John smiled. "Yeh." He said proudly. "I won't steal now because I'm of age to get arrested. None of us wants that now do we?"
"Tell me, if you got arrested right now, who would you call to bail you out?"
"Paul."
Paul turned around to face him. "Why me?"
"Because yer my mate. Why else?"
"Not Eppy or Mal or anyone of them?"
"No. Eppy would kill me. I wanna live."
"And I wouldn't kill you?"
"No. You wouldn't."
"Yer right. I'll break every bone in yer body."
