| Chapter 3 The Walrus |
| The next morning Rita woke up, got out of bed, and ran a comb across her head. Bright sunlight streamed through the portholes. She looked at herself in the mirror and realized that her green dress was frightfully wrinkled after having spent the night in it. She was just trying to decided what to do about it, when she heard foot steps behind her. She turned and looked and saw someone dressed like a walrus come walking into the room. An expression of both surprise and fright filled her eyes, but when he removed the costume, she saw it was only Paul. �What are you doing?� she asked with an amused smile on her face. �Just playing,� he replied innocently. �Playing what?� she asked, trying not to laugh. �Just playing around,� he answered. �Hey, thought these might fit you.� He handed her a neatly folded pair of bell-bottom jeans and a Tie-Dyed T-shirt. �Groovy!� she said. �They�re great. Thanks.� �Sure,� Paul replied. �I found them in my room and didn�t think they�d fit me. Why don�t you try them on?� The clothes fit Rita perfectly and of course Paul told her how nice she looked in them. They went to the submarine�s kitchen where Pam had just finished setting the table. �Good morning, Pam,� Rita greeted her. �Good morning,� Pam replied without looking up as she opened a fresh box of almond milk. �Good morning, Pam,� Paul echoed Rita. Pam looked up and nearly dropped the box of milk. �Oh my gosh!� she exclaimed. �Paul! Where did you come from?� �Basically the same place you did,� Paul answered. �Abbey Road.� Pam, recovering from her shock, said, �I�m glad to have you with us, but what are George, John, and Ringo going to do?� �I don�t know,� Paul answered. �Things don�t look so good for them. Wish there was some way we could help them.� Just then JoJo came in. He was nearly as surprised as Pam to see Paul McCartney standing there. But after greeting Paul, he told them that he had just made an amazing discovery. �What is it?� Rita wanted to know. �Let�s have breakfast first,� JoJo said. �There�s no telling how long it may be before we get another chance to eat.� The others agreed so they sat down to their meal of Cornflakes and toast. |
