The hours wore on for the Beatles, and there was no way of telling how much time had passed in their little prison. It could have been the 다음 morning, 또는 afternoon, 또는 the 다음 evening. But as the Beatles hadn’t slept at all last night, and all four were beginning to feel their eyelids getting heavy, they decided it might as well be night. There was no other way to measure time in here then 의해 sleeps. But none of them wanted to drift off, not when they had so little time left.
Paul still insisted they would find a way out of here. “Someone will find us. 또는 we’ll find a way out we haven’t noticed yet. It’s only a matter of time now.”
His mates wanted to believe him, but all three were feeling decidedly discouraged. There was no way to get out of here – if there was, wouldn’t they have spotted it 의해 now? It wasn’t like there was that much in this place to begin with. And even if someone was looking for them, how would they ever find them here, in this gloomy old basement in a house in the middle of nowhere?
Eventually, all four Beatles were too exhausted to stay awake any longer. Their heads lolling on each others’ shoulders, they drifted off into an uneasy sleep.

Early 다음 morning, Karen drove to each of the other girls’ houses to pick them up, then as they headed out to the lonely road they’d seen on the map yesterday, she explained what she’d found out.
“It really is empty up there – I didn’t like the look of things at all. But,” she added, before her passengers could get too worried about this “it turns out there’s a house!”
“Really?” Emma leaned 앞으로 from the backseat, brown eyes bright with curiosity. “A house in the middle of nowhere? Why?”
Karen shrugged. “I don’t know why, but it’s there. There’s plumbing and electricity that runs out there to connect to just one building. Now,” she gave her new 프렌즈 a little smile in the rear-view mirror “if 당신 were trying to disappear, after doing something dreadful like getting rid of the Beatles, say, wouldn’t 당신 choose just that sort of place?”
“I wouldn’t know,” Jenna replied fiercely. She was sitting in the back with Susan and Emma, but let Butch ride up front on the passenger side 다음 to Karen, the window down so he could sniff at smells. “Because I would never try to get rid of the Beatles!”
Karen nodded feelingly. “Right,” she agreed. “Well, I think we need to drive out to this place and have a little talk with whoever lives there.”

The drive out to the house Karen had found out about turned out to take a very long time. The road wound on and on through the thick trees, and it seemed like it could go on forever without actually leading anywhere. The girls were starting to get very nervous. This was taking much too long – they’d been at this for two hours now, and it had already been 더 많이 than a 일 since the Beatles had gone missing! Would they find their beloved band on time?
But then suddenly, Butch began to bark. Turning to look at him, Karen spotted a thin dirt trail leading off the road and into the deep woods. It was so small and covered 의해 foliage that she might have missed it. “I think he’s found the place,” she announced to her passengers in the back.
“Good boy, Butch!” Jenna approved.
With some difficulty, Karen turned her car onto the narrow path. It was actually wider than it first appeared, wide enough for a fairly big vehicle to get 의해 with no problems. Still, Karen drove slowly, not wanting anybody to hear her car approaching. Emma leaned 앞으로 breathlessly, Susan twisted her hands in her lap, and Jenna fidgeted in her seat, but nobody said a word.
Then, abruptly, Karen stopped the car. “There,” she whispered, pointing ahead.
Through the overhanging 나무, 트리 branches, the girls could just make out an unusually wide car parked in a little cleared-out area just off the dirt path, painted a dull, ugly beige.
“Ugh,” shuddered Susan, seeing the car. “It looks – like a monster 또는 something.”
“We’re here,” Emma breathed. “We made it. Look.”
Up ahead, just a little ways beyond the crude driveway, a tall house loomed up from between the trees.

December 25, 1966

George and his daughter had just finished their breakfast and were getting themselves prepared to head back to Abbey Road Studios. As they wore their coats, boots, and other winter gear, Laura said, "I'm so excited to take part in the 크리스마스 message with 당신 and my uncles for the first time, daddy George! This is gonna be a real treat." George replied, "So am I, Laura, darling! Even 더 많이 exciting is that we will be doing our veddy own version of a certain classic, audio drama style! Of course, this was John's idea, and 당신 can thank him for it afterwards." Laura replied, "Oh, how lovely! I'll certainly be keeping that in mind." George responded with a smile and a chuckle. He then took another look at the engagement ring for a while (which he had bought at the start of this month) and gently kissed it. Before long, they drove off, fetched Pattie from her flat, and were on their way to the Studios.

The sun had begun to set around the same time the group's tour finally came to an end. They then returned to the courtyard and decided to take a break from walking for a while. George told his brother, "Y'know something, Pete? That amulet actually gave us a better understanding of each other now, since we've pretty much spent the first half of this tour being in each other's shoes." Peter replied, "You are right on the money there, Geo! It was quite a learning experience, too." George said, "Indeed!" John said, "To 상단, 맨 위로 it all off, it made our visit to this 성 더 많이 memorable than what we...

George, Laura, Pattie, John, and Peter had been enjoying their free time with the ravens while Tony told them about the origins of their association with the castle. "Legend has it that if any of these birds get 로스트 또는 fly away, both the Crown and the kingdom will fall. After being warned about this, King Charles II is thought to have been the first to insist that they be protected here. Today, they're known as the Guardians of the Tower." John said, "Hey, I remember 읽기 about that at school! What a fascinating story indeed." George added, "I'll say!" Peter asked, "Are there any other...

Once they were back outside, the group proceeded to the courtyard to put into action the last step of reversing the Amulet of Bandy's spell. John said, "That SURE was supernatural, me mates!" Laura replied, "Indeed, uncle John! I liked how the ghosts of those princes were friendly towards us." John replied, "Me too, dear Laura." Felix added, "And as I've said earlier; this is much better than having to watch over prisoners!" "Absolutely!", remarked Laura. A few 분 later when they reached the courtyard, Felix told them to wait while he went to pluck out a feather from one of their ravens....

"Here we are!", exclaimed Felix as everyone reached the 상단, 맨 위로 of the tower. George said, "Oooh! I must say it's a good thing we came here in the afternoon! This place seems to be dimly lit." John replied, "I concur." Laura asked, "So, Felix, can 당신 please tell us about its ghost story?" "Your wish is my command!", he replied. "On the death of Edward IV, Edward’s young son, 12 년 old Edward became King Edward V, under the protection of his uncle, the Duke of Gloucester. Wanting to take the Crown for his own, he imprisoned Edward and his young brother Richard right in this part of the castle....

After asking for a lamp from one of his fellow Yeoman Warders, Felix led the walk to the Tower of the Two Princes. Laura said, "I'm really looking 앞으로 to Felix telling us about the ghost story behind this tower, daddy George!" He replied, "So am I, Laura, darling. So am I!" Pattie said, "And 당신 and your brother will be back to your normal selves in no time, honey!" George said, "You bet, love!" John added, "Aye, me mate!" Before long, they reached the stairs leading up to the tower, and they began making their way up. As they were doing so, Peter was startled 의해 what sounded like walking...

When the group made it to the Armoury Room, Felix unlocked one of the drawers and took out a big book, which was a listing of further information on the Crown Jewels. After going through several chapters, he found the two pages that featured not only the amulet's backstory, but an illustration of it as well. He then explained, "This stone is known as the Amulet of Bandy (to my curious readers, bandy is used as one of the synonyms for switch. I chose that word because of having quite a nice ring to it.). It dates back to the Tudor era and has the ability to, without warning, swap the minds of...

The others were startled 의해 the commotion just as they had finished their tour of the room. John gasped and said, "Bless me! That sounds like Geo and Pete screaming!" Felix said, "Well, whatever it is, we better go check on them!" The girls especially became concerned. The Harrison brothers themselves had already gotten up after recovering from the amulet's zap. Pattie asked George, "Darling! Are 당신 okay?" He replied with a jovial tone, "Yeah, sweetheart! I am. Just feeling a bit... shaken." Laura said, "Hmm... how peculiar. 당신 don't seem to act like yourself, daddy George." John added, "And...

"Wow. I've never seen anything so marvelous when it comes to gems before!", remarked John as they toured the room where the Crown Jewels had been on display for the public to see. Pattie said, "I know! Seeing them in 사진 really IS nothing compared to this!" Laura said, "My thoughts exactly!" Felix said, "And while the Monarchy has gone through many ups and downs, these precious stones have stood the test of time!" Among the highlights of this stop were, of course, the Imperial State and St. Edward's (which has only been used for coronations) Crowns. There were also swords, scepters, and...

Now that they were inside the castle, the group proceeded to meet with their tour guide. "Daddy George, do 당신 think we might hear some interesting ghost stories, too?", asked Laura. Her father replied, "Maybe so, Laura, darling. Let us see." At that moment, they suddenly heard a loud "BOO!!", which was then followed 의해 a hearty laugh. This eventually turned out to be none other than one of the Yeoman Warders. He said, "I'm sure 당신 weren't expecting to be greeted like that, eh? Anyways, welcome to the Tower of London! My name is Felix, and I'll be your guide for this special 할로윈 tour."...

October 31, 1966

It's that time of 년 once again when chills and thrills abound. George, Peter (who had come for a visit), John, Pattie, and Laura were on their way to quite possibly the most haunted landmark of the city (in terms of its history, that is), where they will be having a special tour with one of the Yeoman Warders as their guide. As they drove through the Tower Bridge, Peter told his brother, "Thanks again for inviting me over to this tour, George! I couldn't ask for a 더 많이 fitting way to celebrate Halloween." George replied, "It was my great pleasure, Pete! And since I've conquered...

Shortly after parting ways with the other Beatles and the 퀸 as they returned to their 아파트 and Buckingham Palace respectively, George, Pattie, and Laura decided to spend a romantic evening at the small park just across Big Ben. There, they strolled under the silvery full moon while the couple held each other's hands before relaxing on a bench. Laura said, "This sure has been a day, daddy George! Not only did Pattie and I participate in the recording of your new song, but we got to spend some time with Her Majesty as well!" George replied, "You're telling me, Laura, darling! It doesn't...

About an 시간 later when they had finished eating, everyone made their way back to the recording room. As for Sparkie and the other Corgis? Well, thankfully, they were aware of their boundaries and rejoined their human owners at just the right time. John told the Queen, "So this new song of ours is called 'Yellow Submarine', and you'll be the very first to hear its finished glory. Enjoy!" She nodded and gave him a thumbs up. With that, the song was played and had them smiling all the way until it ended. Elizabeth remarked, "Wow. I'll say that was quite a fun song, boys! 당신 even made it feel...

While chowing down on their 피자 and chicken wings (along with drinking some Ribena blackcurrant juice), the Beatles, Laura, and Pattie told the 퀸 더 많이 about their trip to Ireland, which included the places they visited and how the free concerts went. Then, afterwards, she told George's bandmates about successfully taking down Sinister Gates and his goons as part of a mission to save Lucky from the former's clutches. The Corgi himself still wouldn't leave Laura's side and lovingly rested his paws on her lap. Ringo remarked, "Woah! I'm glad none of 당신 got hurt 의해 that bloody nincompoop."...

"Woo! That was a bloody blast, me mates!", exclaimed John 의해 the time everyone finished their little dance. Paul replied, "I could not agree more! This song is sure to be a lovely addition to our new album." Ringo remarked, "You're telling me! The 팬 are absolutely gonna 사랑 it!" Sparkie made a noise that sounded like he was saying, "Correct-a-mundo!" Laura said, "I knew we'd have so much fun, daddy George!" Pattie added, "Indeed! And thanks again for allowing us to 가입하기 along, honey." George smiled and replied, "Anytime, me darling girls! Hearing those from the both of 당신 makes us happier...

As Ringo took helm of the lead vocals, he opened the song and was shortly followed 의해 the sound effect of ocean waves in the background.

In the town where I was born
Lived a man who sailed to sea
And he told us of his life
In the land of submarines
So we sailed on to the sun
'Till we found a sea of green
And we lived beneath the waves
In our yellow submarine


John, Paul, and George joined along for the first chorus.

We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine


The scene was then turned into something reminiscent of...

The trio reached Abbey Road Studios about twenty 분 later, and they went inside after George parked his car at its usual spot. Pattie remarked, "Wow. You've certainly got a lovely place to record your songs, darling!" George replied, "Yes, indeed, my love! In addition, we recorded our 크리스마스 messages for 1963 and 1964 right here. Laura even shared her thoughts with us on the latter!" She nodded in agreement. Pattie said, "That is simply wonderful!" George smiled. As they made it to the recording room, John, Paul, and Ringo had already finished preparing themselves for the session. Laura...

"George, I must say it is indeed a grand honour to have a part in recording this new song with your mates!", said a very excited Pattie shortly after he and his daughter fetched her. George replied, "You know it, me lovely lady! This will be a splendid session for us all." Laura said, "Exactly, daddy George. I can hardly wait myself!" He responded with a wink. As the trio drove through the streets, they saw a familiar figure wearing a summer dress and a blue floppy hat who had paused for a while to take a sip of the iced 차 that she brought along (since it was a warm day). This was, of course,...

After two days had passed, George and Ringo were finally able to write down their idea for the new song. As they watched the boats again while having lunch at the harbor on the 일 before driving back home, the former asked, "Ladies, I'm sure you'll 사랑 what this song idea of ours is gonna be. Would 당신 like to hear about it?" Laura replied while playing with the submarine, "Of course, daddy George! Bring it on!" Pattie said, "Go ahead, darling!" George said, "Okay, so this one will be something different and fun at the same time: A song that will appeal not just to our fans, but their families...

The following morning, everyone was just about ready to have breakfast at the restaurant when they heard a knock on the door. George and Ringo proceeded to answer it, and standing there in the hallway was none other than the organizer of the sandcastle contest! He told them, "Hello again! As promised 의해 the judges, I've come to tell 당신 about the final results." George replied, "Great! We knew 당신 would." Ringo added excitedly, "So, what are they?"
