Everyone woke up and found themselves back in Rosie's and Nicholas' dorm and present-day London. Rosie exclaimed, "Home at last!" Nicholas told the Beatles, "Welcome to our dorm!" John said, "Wow! This place sure is cozy." Paul asked, "So, are you two students here?" Rosie replied, "Yes, we are." Nicholas added, "And we're studying music." "How nice." Remarked George. Ringo nodded in agreement. Rosie then said, "We will be returning the stolen university items to the principal. Would you like to come with us so you can meet him, too?" Ringo replied, "Sure! I bet he's going to be pleasantly surprised." Nicholas responded, "Certainly!" And so, the foursome and the Beatles went out of the dorm and walked back to the university. When they reached the principal's office, Rosie told the band to wait near the door while they return the items, and that they will whistle to let them know that it's time to go inside. The principal was on his desk when he heard a knock at the door, to which he said, "Come in". Rosie, Nicholas, Scruffy, and Buzzy then went inside the office. The principal said, "Ah. It's Rosie and her friends. I see you got the stolen items back." Rosie replied, "Yes, we have." Nicholas added, "We got our instruments back, too." "Jolly good!" Exclaimed the principal. "So, what happened to Veronica afterwards?" "Oh, she's in jail in the sixties." Replied Rosie. The principal asked, "Really? How did you do that?" Rosie said, "We did it with a little help from..." And with that pause, Nicholas whistled and John, Paul, George, and Ringo came in. The principal couldn't believe his eyes and became speechless. "The Beatles!" Finished Rosie. Finally, the principal broke his silence and exclaimed, "Oh, my goodness. It's really them!" "Yep!" Replied Nicholas. "John! George! You're alive! Is it true that you helped these teenagers put Veronica in jail?" Asked the principal. John replied, "Yes, we did." George added, "We also helped the police in catching her as she stole some pounds from a bank as well." "Their dog Timothy stopped her by pulling her long jacket, and we returned the stolen pounds in the end." Finished Ringo. "Rosie and Nicholas also played their instruments and performed with us in our last concert." Said Paul. The principal remarked, "What a remarkable story! Thank you so much for bringing back our items." Rosie replied, "It was our pleasure, sir." After the group left the office, they went out to eat lunch at a pizza restaurant and had a walk around the neighborhood. They returned to the dorm at six in the evening. As they sat in the couch, Nicholas said, "That was quite a trip we had, love." Rosie replied, "It sure was, buddy. I'm really glad we got our instruments back." "I am, too." Remarked Nicholas. "We're also glad we came with you and your friends, Rosie." Said George. This made Rosie smile and excited at the fact that the Beatles will now be with them on their future adventures. Rosie's and Nicholas' next class is in two days, so they have one full day to rest and recharge from their trip through time. They all shared another group hug before signing off for the night. What escapades and thrills are in store for them next? We shall find out in the next story.

THE END
For most of the duration of 2015, my mother and I went on field trips and attended cultural seminars. In June of this year, we visited Vancouver, Canada. We stayed at the Gage Residences, which is located in the University of British Columbia. We explored the campus and city, visited a friend, and even rode the skytrain right up to the last stop. It was yet another fun trip for us. We also went back to Cebu in September. As a pre-birthday treat, my mother bought me tickets to see Rick Astley in concert when he visited my country. He's my favorite singer from the 80's. We had a blast during the concert, and my mother would scream, "Go Rick!" as he goofed around and joked onstage. This concert made her reminisce about her youth, too. After the concert, we traveled back to Singapore on my birthday, where she attended a Teaching of English as a Second Language seminar. We also continued our celebration there.
