That night as the Beatles, Claire, and Sydney were driving home, they talked about all the people they
had met at the party.
"I met Hendrix. That was gear!" Claire said.
"Man, did you guys see that Yoko lady? She was one strange bird," John said.
    Claire and Sydney smiled at each other.
"What?" John asked.
"Oh, nothing," Sydney said smugly.
"No, I wanna know," John said.
"Well, had we not come along, you would've married her," Claire said.
"That's a lie,"John said.
"No no you two were like totally in love in the alternate universe we called home,"Claire said.
"But..."John began.
"Yeah.. she made all the screeching songs and you put them on your records," Sydney said "And you two were literally inseperable. "
    The others laughed.
"Hey Paul, you would have married a girl at the party," Sydney said.
"And dated another," Claire added.
"What? I didn't see anyone I would ever have married,"Paul said.
"Well, it's true," Sydney said.
"Who?" Paul asked.
"You would have dated Jane Asher," Sydney said.
"The actress?" Paul asked.
"Yup!" Claire said.
"You would have married Linda Eastman," Claire said.
"Who?" Paul asked again.
"The photographer chick," Claire said.
"No, that's not true,"Paul said.
"It is you know," Claire said.
    Paul shook his head, but let the subject drop.
"And George...you're would-have-been-wife was there as well," Sydney said.
"Lemme guess..Patti Boyd," George said.
"Yes, but how did you know?" Sydney asked.
"Because anytime I would talk to her, you would get all squirmish,"George said.
"Well, now you know why," Sydney said.
"Don't worry. You're the only girl I could ever love," George said.
    John, Sydney,Paul, and Claire all got very uneasy.
"So, the uh...monkees were nice," John said.
"What?" Paul asked.
"The Monkees. You know Mike, Peter, Davy, Micky..." Sydney said.
"C'mon. You've seen every one of their shows..."Claire added
"Oh yeah! They were cool."Paul said.
"So where were you the last half of the party?" George asked Sydney.
    Sydney looked at John, who looked just as panicky as she felt.
"I ahhh..went to have a smoke.. you know," Sydney said.
"Yeah well I was looking for you, but I couldn't find you," George said.
"Yeah, and I couldn't find John," Ringo said.
"I was of smoking also," John said.
"That last three hours?"Ringo asked.
    George made a face as if he knew what was going on, but shook his head as if to throw the thought out.
"Well, I was just hanging around after that," John said.
    They drove the rest of the way home in silence thinking.
    A week later, the four lads, Sydney, and Claire were at their bus about to start filming.
"Ohhh! I'm the narrator!" John said.
"Well don't you feel special?" Claire asked joking.
"Yes, yes I do," John said.
"Well.. I'm Richard," Ringo said.
"Yes..we all know that. You are really Richard Starkey."Sydney said
"Oh yeah," Ringo said pretending to be dissapointed.
"OK," Paul said walking up."All the circus people are here. Shall we go?"
"No." John said.
"What?" Paul asked looking worried.
"Calm down! He's joking," Claire said.
"Oh...umm...haha" Paul said.
"Relax! It'll go ok! " Claire said.
"Yeah..don't worry Paulie. What have we done that people haven't liked?" John asked.
"Well one time you said we were bigger than Jesus, and one time the news papers got all mad at me for
admitting I use LSD. And then there was the time.."Paul said.
"OK, well never mind. This will work out," John interrupted.
"Yeah..I'm relaxed! OK..let's go," Paul said.
    They all started to walk towards the bus.
"Paul, it'll be ok!"Claire said.
"Yeah, I know. I just have all this stuff I have to do. I have to tell people where to be..."Paul said.
"We'll all help! Just relax and have fun. Even if the entire thing bombs..it'll all be worth it if you have
fun!" Claire said.
"Yeah! You're right. The whole purpose behind this is to have fun," Paul said and visibly relaxed.
    When the arrived on the bus, Ringo took a seat nest to the lady who was to play "Aunt Jenny". Claire sat
next to Paul, John and George sat together, and Sydney sat behind them.
"Alright everyone ready?" Paul asked.
    They had already filmed a scene where Ringo and Aunt
Jenny bought the tickets, so now Ringo, Aunt Jenny, and the two corrers went outside to film them coming
aboard. Once they were on, the bus took off.
    In between takes the second day, John, Sydney, Claire, and Paul stood around talking.
