Chapter Five (By Ringo_Spoon)
"Let's go inside the hotel, huh?" Ringo got down from Paul's large, clawed hands. The younger Beatle agreed, slowly remembering his old friend.
As they were walking inside their hotel room, the drummer smiled softly. He was more than happy that the bassist wasn't trying to hurt him anymore, but he felt sorry for Paul since he seemed so confused. He was like a baby, really!
When they were in the hotel room, Ringo closed the door as Paul looked around. One part of him did somewhat remember this place. But another part of him had no idea where he is!
Ringo saw the puzzled look on Macca's face. He looked at him for a few seconds with complete pity in his blue eyes. He was certain that in Paul's heart that a part did remember, but it was a very small part of him. Starr felt terrible that his poor little brother had to relearn everything. But, it was better than thinking that Macca didn't remember at all!
"Do you remember this place? Anything at all?" Ringo wore a sympathetic smile for Macca. He closed his eyes and tried hard to think of this strange place. He really did try to remember something! But he didn't. They caused him to frown. He really did want to remember, but he couldn't.
"No, Ringo..." Paul spoke in a quiet whisper.
Ringo's smile dropped. He wasn't upset that his baby brother couldn't remember, he was upset that McCartney was so distraught by not sharing the memories that he had. The elder one hugged the younger one tightly. Paul found his smile again and hugged him back.
"What happened? Why me so....weird?"
Ringo felt himself cringe at the question as he stopped hugging Paul. He didn't want to talk about it, considering that this HUGE mess just happened today. But on the other hand, however, Paul does deserve to know what happened to him.
"Take a seat on the couch and I'll tell you everything."
"Couch?"
Ringo couldn't help but chuckle at that. He felt like he was teaching a baby how to walk. But as the big brother, he was his duty to help his confused younger brother. "It's the big, grey seat over there."
Ringo took a seat next to him, his hands folded and his leg crossed, "Ok, let's take baby steps. Do you know who John Lennon and George Harrison are?"
Paul thought for a hot minute. He did remember a man with light brown eyes and another man with amazing cheek bones. But it was a fuzzy memory, so he doesn't know if these people are the ones that Ringo is talking about.
"I... No.. Remember.."
Ringo, just as confused by the tone in Macca's voice, reached into his pocket and pulled out a picture of the two guitarists before the scientists ruined them. Paul looked over his shoulder to look at the picture. He thought that he recognized the man with glasses.
"That man is....George! George is here!" Paul cried happily as he kept pointing to John's grinning face in the picture.
Starr tried his best to smile, but he couldn't. Poor McCartney didn't even remember his best mate. But hey! At least he was trying his best. "No, this is George," Ringo pointed to the younger, fanged man, making Paul blush slightly due to embarrassment. "John is right beside him."
Paul studied the picture of Lenny and Magpie for a while, then looked up at Ringo, "They...friends?"
"Yeah! In fact they're like our brothers."
"Brothers?"
"Yeah! That's them." But after those words came out of his mouth, Ringo's cheerful mood became glum. They weren't John and George anymore, the picture was of what they used to be. Now, he doesn't even know what they are.
"Well, that's what they used to be.." He muttered under his breath, tears forming in his eyes.
McCartney saw that Ringo was upset, but his mind still didn't process things like it used to, so he couldn't comfort the blue eyed drummer properly. So, he asked the big question on his mind that he hoped to get an answer to.
"Ringo, why me so strange? And where is friends?"
The drummer quickly wiped his tears and explained to Paul what happened, from when the Fab Four first saw the invitation until now. His heart broke as he saw Paul's face go from confusion, to shock, then sadness, then end with absolutely fury.
"THOSE MEANIES MADE ME UGLY! WAS PRETTY, BUT NOW ME THIS!!!" Paul boomed, his eyes ablaze with fury.
Ringo sang softly through tears, "Yesterday...life was such an easy game to play, now I need a place to hide away. Oh, I believe, in yesterday.."
Paul felt his head pound. He instantly took two arms off of the now concerned Beatle looking at him and put his claws on his forehead. When the drummer attempted to hug him, Paul instantly winced in pain.
Ringo felt worry eat him from the inside. What was happening now?! Another transformation? "Dear God, please don't something bad happen..." Ringo prayed in his head as he watched Paul shake and sweat from pain.
But after a few short yet worrysome seconds, the mutated Beatle looked up at him with wide eyes. Starr held his breathe as Macca blinked at him, then smiled like a child in a candy store. "Ringo...I remember. I remember everything!" Paul cried tears of joy as Ringo let out a gasp with the biggest smile ever.
"You do?"
"Yes! George and John! The studio! Even my speech is better!" Paul stood up and danced around the room as Ringo cheered and tapped his feet.
But then, Paul remembered the pain and heartbreak he felt when he saw his bandmates transform. He looked down, and saw what he became. His tears of joy became tears of disgust and distress. He was disgusted by what he became, and distressed that John and Harrison are still suffering.
"Oh my God!" Paul sobbed, making Ringo's smile disappear and his feet remain still.
"Maccaroni?.." He simply sat back down on the couch and continued to cry his eyes out. Feeling more down than ever, the drummer hugged his poor bandmate, four claws on his shoulders.
"We have to find Johnny and Magpie, lad! We can try to turn them back to normal! And turn me back to normal as well!"
Starr smiled softly and began to wipe his tears, "Don't cry Paulie. We will save them, and I'll try my best to fix you and the others."
Paul smiled with his shaky lips as Ringo continued to wipe his hot tears. "Ta, mate. You're the best."
"I know," Ringo chuckled softly, making Paul laugh quietly.
After all the tears were gone, they laid down together and snuggled together. Paul fell asleep instantly. Ringo blinked away any tears he might have had and went to sleep, dreaming of the days that him and his brothers will be together again.
