Chapter 7

     Claire looked. John had a book over his head and did in fact look as if he was asleep.
"We will begin landing in ten minutes," the stewerdess said.
"Ummm do you by any chance have an alarm clock?" Claire asked.
"As strange as it sounds we do," the stewdess replied.
       She walked away and returned a few minutes later with an alarm clock. She handed it to
Claire who put it next to John's head and made the alam go off.
"Rise and shine Tonto," Claire said.   
       When they  had checked into their hotel, the 4 Beatles and their wives decided to go pratice skiing. They left the babies with Brian and went to the bunny slope.  They were all doing very bad.
"JOHN'S FALLEN DOWN AGAIN!" Claire yelled laughing as she skiied up next
to him.
       He grabbed her legs and pulled her down.
"SO HAS CLAIRE," John called.
"Not fair! Evil! Evil!" Claire said as she and John struggled to get up.
      She looked down the hill and saw Paul fall.
"PAUL'S FALLEN TOO!" Claire and John yelled in unison.
       Sydney skied past, but tripped. George skied and helped her up.
"Help me!!!!!" Claire yelled,but just then Claire managed to get up.
"I'm up! I'm up! Look!" Claire said as John continued to struggle.
       He pulled her back down.
"YOU'RE DOWN" John said as they laughed.
"NO Claire will over come!" Claire said. "Ahhh third person again!"
       They finally both got up and skied down.  As Claire was laughing at one of John's jokes, she skied right into Paul knocking them both down.
"CLAIRE'S DOWN AGAIN!" John shouted laughing. Claire and Paul laughed too.
"Sorry luv! Fancy a quicky?" Claire joked noticing how tangled they were.
"Works for me," Paul said laughing.
      Cyn skied up and her and John helped them to their feet.
"Let's go on the mountain," Claire said looking up.
"Claire, you can hardly get down the bunnny slope," Paul said.
"John pulled me down! Fine Sydney'll go with me.  OI SYDNEY," she called.
"What?" Sydney yelled back right before she fell down.
"SYDNEY'S DOWN!" Claire and John yelled.
"Let's go on the mountain," Claire yelled.
"OK! Let me get down there," Sydney said.
       Soon all eight of them were on ski lift.
"O look! There's a little jump like thing," Claire said.
"You've got to be kidding," said George who was sitting in front of her on the lift.   
"NO I'm not. Sydney, let's go on the jump thing," Claire yelled to Sydney who was next to George.
       Sydney laughed.
"OK!" she called back.
       The four of  them slid off the ski lift and waited for the others.
"So are you going to jump with us?" Sydney asked George.
"Yeah, but if I break me leg..."he said.
       They all skied down the mountain with quiet a few falls. Before they got to the jump, they turned and stopped themselves.
"George first. He's the best skiier," Sydney said.
"Well I dunno about that..Paul's..ok yeah..George is the best,"  Claire said smiling.
"Thanks for sticking up for me," Paul said laughing.
"I try," Claire said.
       George went over the jump and was perfect.
"Ahhh what can I say? George is as near perfection as possible," Sydney said.
"SAPPY!!!!!!!"Claire yelled.
"Claire's turn," John said.
      Claire went over the jump, stumbled, but uprighted herself quickly. Paul then went. He landed fine from the jump, but fell twelve feet away. They all started to laugh.
"Smooth," Claire joked.
"I try," Paul said laughing.
       John went over the jump and fell on landing.
"LENNON'S FALLEN!" Claire and Sydney yelled.
       Sydney went over the jump and wobbled, but was fine.
"We are the masters," Sydney said to Claire as she pulled up next to George.
"Because you're suppose to almost fall on landing..." George said.
"Exactly," Claire said the others went over the jump and they continued down the hill.
         The next day Sydney and Claire watched the boys film and during breaks would ski with them. That evening as Claire and Paul sat around, Claire voiced something that had been bugging her.
"Filming won't be as good, if you guys keep getting high," Claire said.
"We don't.." Paul began.
"You do..don't you ever get tired of re-doing the same scenes?" Claire asked.
"That's why we smoke, so we won't be so bored when we redo a scene," Paul said.
"No you redo scenes because you smoke,"Claire countered.
"We're not hurting anyone," Paul said angry.
"No you're not, but" Claire began, but she didn't get to finish because John  walked in.
"knock knock," Paul said irratably.
"If you don't have a barney can I hold your coat? Sounds like Macca ain't getting no lovin tonight," John said.
"Why'd you come, Lennon?" Paul asked.  
"Get a beer, the others said you have some,"John said as he got a beer.
       You know Claire, we're not as bad as all that."
"I'm going to bed. G'night,"Claire said.
       She walked into the bedroom.
"It's only 10,"John said.
"Yeah, well, goodnight," Paul said.
       He walked into the bedroom as John went back to his suite.
