Shortly after ordering their food, Stuart congratulated his friends on their concert. He said, "This whole tour has gone so smoothly! I'm very impressed, mates!" John replied, "Indeed, it has! We're happy about that, too." Ringo added, "It was also nice knowing you and your parents, Stuart. We hope to have you as our driver again for any new events in the future." Stuart replied, "As a matter of fact, you can! Here, I'll give you one of my calling cards." He then took a card out of his jacket pocket and gave it to Rosie. She said, "Thanks, Stu! We really appreciate how hospitable you are." He gave her a hug and responded, "It was my great pleasure, love! I'm always happy to help." The others were all smiles. Soon, the food arrived, and everyone started to dig in.

Everyone spent the rest of the afternoon exploring their concert venue and taking their last batch of photos and videos for the tour. They even walked all the way to Marble Arch. As they relaxed in the grass, Stuart said, "I'd like to meet and talk with your other friends the next time we see each other again." Rosie replied, "Oh, of course! I know they'll be happy to meet you, too." Nicholas added, "That's right, darling." "Splendid, mates!", responded Stuart with a smile. The group then continued to have some more fun conversations while sharing a good laugh in between.

After a nearly four-hour journey, the Beatles, Rosie, and Nicholas made it back to London for the final concert of their nationwide tour. During the ride, John had decided that Hyde Park would be the concert's perfect spot. Upon stopping there, Rosie remarked, "Yep. This place is just right for us!" John winked and replied, "It certainly is, love." The others thought so, too. They soon proceeded to set their instruments up for the last time. Afterwards, they went to have lunch with Stuart and his parents joining them.

The Beatles, Rosie, and Nicholas proceeded to rest at an inn after having another tasty post-concert dinner. The following morning during breakfast, John announced, "Well, this is it me mates. Our next stop will also be the last one for this tour, London. I have to say that I'm quite impressed with how everything went!" Rosie replied, "I'd have to agree with that, Johnny. This was such a fantastic tour!" The others exclaimed, "Yeah, yeah, yeah!" After packing their things and checking-out, everyone returned to the bus. Stuart said, "Now that your tour is almost over, let's make the most of our remaining time together before we bring you all back to your dorm!" His parents nodded in agreement. Nicholas replied, "Okie dokie, mate! It's back to London we go!" And with that, the final ride came to a start.

THE END

As the bus started to approach the next stop, John seized the opportunity to tell Stuart's parents about their participation in Cambridge's Annual Treasure Hunt and how they became last year's winners. He said, "There was this group of bullies who mocked us for being 'slow'. However, I taught them a big lesson with the help of me good ol' retorts!" Ringo added, "And because of that, they resorted to dirty cheating which eventually got them banned from the event for good!" Stuart's mother replied, "Woah! That's quite amazing! I'm glad you all achieved victory in the end." Stuart's father added, "Indeed! It's also thanks to your spirit of teamwork, I bet." Rosie responded, "You got that right, sir!" They then all smiled and winked at each other. After arriving, everyone had another walking tour around the city. The concert was once again a big success later that night, and the Beatles, Rosie, and Nicholas were as usual full of smiles up to the end.

TO BE CONTINUED

The group had a little shopping trip in the following day before moving on to their next stop. During this, Stuart also visited the pub where he used to work in, and his parents decided to join them along for the remainder of the tour. Rosie told them, "You've been such excellent hosts to us during our stay here. Thanks a lot!" Stuart's father replied, "You're welcome, Rosie! We love having visitors in our place." Nicholas remarked, "That's splendid! I can also see where Stu got his kindness from." This made them both smile in return. After everything had been finished, they boarded the bus again and were on their way to Cambridge.

TO BE CONTINUED

After a very enjoyable tour, the Beatles, Rosie, and Nicholas returned to the atrium to prepare for the concert as the fans started filling up the seats. Soon, everything kicked off with a bang, and the concert was yet another amazing one that the clock tower even went in sync with the music! When it came to a close, the lads were thrown with flowers as they did their signature bow. Stuart chuckled and remarked, "That's what I call 'Flower Power'!" John replied, "Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Yeah, right!" The others were all smiles and nodded in agreement. They then had dinner at one of the nearby restaurants to finish off a wonderful day.

TO BE CONTINUED

The next day, everyone drove to the city square shortly after breakfast. While on the way there, Stuart's father asked, "What time will your concert start?" Paul replied, "It begins later this evening at eight o'clock. The same goes for all of the gigs in this tour." Stuart's mother remarked, "Sounds lovely! At least you'll have the whole afternoon to do a little exploration of the city." George replied, "That's right, madame. We've done it in our previous stops, so there's no doubt we'll do it again here." Stuart's father responded as they made it to the place, "All righty. Have fun, mates! And son, just give us a call when you're ready to return home." Stuart replied, "You bet, dad! See ya!" The group then proceeded to set up their instruments at the atrium. Afterwards, they decided to have a walking tour for a change of pace.

TO BE CONTINUED

"Here we are!", exclaimed Stuart as they parked near his parents' house. The group got some of their things and followed him after leaving the bus. He rang the doorbell, and his mother went to answer it. She said, "Why hello, Stu! Long time no see. What brings you back here, my son?" Stuart replied, "Hello again, mum! I hope you and dad don't mind, but I brought some new friends over to stay in your place during their tour stop." She remarked, "Oh, that's all right! We'd like to meet them." "Excellent!", responded Stuart. And with that, the Beatles, Rosie, and Nicholas introduced themselves. As expected, Stuart's mother became lost for words upon seeing the four mop-topped lads all alive and young again. The same happened with his father, who gave each of them a friendly handshake. Soon, they all went inside and had quite a long conversation about their past tour stops which stretched all the way to dinner.

During the middle of the ride to Oxford, the group decided to stop at the approaching gas station for a while to have a lunch break. While waiting for their food, Stuart said, "I know the perfect place where you can stay for the night and after your concert tomorrow, mates!" Rosie replied, "That's great, Stu! Where is it?" He responded, "I'm going to bring you to my parents' house and introduce them to you all." Nicholas remarked, "Wonderful! We're excited to meet them." John added, "That's for sure!" Stuart replied, "Jolly good, chaps!" They then had yet another tasty meal and continued on with their journey afterwards.

TO BE CONTINUED

To cap off a fun-filled day of touring the city, everyone went to have dinner at a fish and chips shack. While eating, Rosie asked John, "Where's our next stop after this?" He got his notebook and replied, "Our next stops are Oxford and Cambridge." "Splendid!", remarked Rosie. Stuart added, "That also means I'll be coming back home for a visit!" Paul replied, "That's right, mate! I know you're excited for this." Stuart responded, "Indeed, I am!" The group laughed together as they chatted up until they finished their food. They then returned to the hotel to relax for a couple of hours before packing their things. On the following day, after eating breakfast and checking-out, the Beatles, Rosie, and Nicholas bought two boxes of mini glazed donuts before boarding their bus again. Stuart even got to eat some of them along with his coffee. We'll see how the journey to both university cities turns out in the next story.

THE END

The next day, everyone started their tour of the city shortly after breakfast. They invited Stuart to join them again, to which he happily accepted. The sightseeing bus ride covered many parts of the city and its landmarks. It even passed by the Cardiff Castle. An hour later, the group got off near the National Museum and Gallery of Wales so that they could use their admission passes. Afterwards, they walked to the nearby Queens Arcade to shop for some souvenirs. They then resumed their ride and continued enjoying it all the way until three in the afternoon. The boat ride at the Bay was also magnificent, and Rosie stretched her arms widely as she felt the cool sea breeze. Overall, it was an excellent experience for all of them.

TO BE CONTINUED

As the sky started getting dark, John stood up and told the others, "We better get back to the stage, me mates. Our concert will be commencing in an hour from now." Rosie looked at her watch and replied, "Oh, yes! You're right, Johnny. Let's get going." While they walked, George said, "Those glazed donuts were the best that I've ever tasted. I think we should buy some more before we move on to our next stop, what do you all say?" Ringo replied, "Of course! And they have just the right amount of sweetness, too." Nicholas added, "Indeed!" The group soon got their instruments ready, and the concert was yet another rockin' good time for both them and their Welsh fans. After the autograph session, Paul remarked, "Another bloody fantastic concert in the books! I'm so happy for us!" Rosie responded, "That's for sure!" The others nodded in agreement. They then returned to the room with their instruments and had dinner at the hotel's restaurant before calling it a night.

TO BE CONTINUED

The group went outside again to have a little exploration around the Bay area before the next concert. They took even more photos and another funny video as they walked. Since this is yet another two-day stay for them, they also decided to buy tickets for tomorrow's city sightseeing tour at the nearby visitor's center, which included a free twenty-minute boat ride and admission passes for the National Museum. It was quite a good deal. After that, they bought some mini glazed donuts to munch on while enjoying the view of the sea from one of the benches.

TO BE CONTINUED

Shortly after breakfast was over, the Beatles, Rosie, and Nicholas returned to the bus. Stuart asked, "How was your breakfast, mates?" Rosie replied, "It was delicious, Stu!" The others nodded in agreement. Stuart said, "Jolly good! Also, I've found the perfect place for your concert here. It's called the Wales Millennium Center, and it's located in the Bay." John replied, "Excellent! Speaking of which, our hotel is in the same area too. Can you please take us there?" Stuart responded, "Certainly!" And so, they proceeded to the Bay and got their instruments upon arriving. They then walked to their venue and immediately found a great room inside. Afterwards, they took some photos and got settled in their hotel a few hours later.
