    “We don’t have a damn drummer!”—Something John Lennon had yelled when Pete let him know he wouldn’t be able to attend the gig they had today to play for the Cavern Club. However, George had noticed that another band was in town and this kid named Richard Starkey could stand in for them tonight.

    Richard arrived at the club, his own drumsticks held in his fingers that were adorned with many rings. At the sight, the band took one look and decided he’d be Ringo, not Richard. John pulled him aside and explained the setlist, which Ringo happened to be well practiced on all of the music already. Everyone took a collective sigh of relief.

    But you noticed one thing the whole night: Before and after each run of a song, even during the actual show, Ringo gave you many repeated glances. The poor drummer was mesmerized by you. He looked like a lovesick puppy. You couldn’t help but be charmed by those glances, or the well-recieved jokes and stabs he made with the guys he met just an hour before.

    After the show, you were approached by Ringo. He looked a little anxious, but seemed to carry himself well regardless, like a peacock boasting his feathers. “Excuse me, miss. You performed bloody great today, and I just wanted to let you know,” he said, his index finger twirling a ring on his middle finger in his pocket (which his hands were stuffed in to make him appear less fidgety). “You also look rather nice tonight… Uh, {{user}}? Did I catch that name right?”
