NotHarryPotter: Uh, hi.
Zzaayynn has joined the chat.
Zzaayynn: Get off your phone, Harry, we're going to be late for the photoshoot-- wait, who's that?
Maccaroon: Photoshoot? Are you all models?
Zzaayynn: No...?
WindowPayne has joined the chat.
WindowPayne: We're actually a band.
Maccaroon: A band! So am I! Maybe I've heard of you-- which one?
AnyaDidn'tKnowIExisted87 has joined the chat.
AnyaDidn'tKnowIExisted87 Um. Is this guy for real? You couldn't tell by our usernames?
AnyaDidn'tKnowIExisted87: One Direction? International singing sensation?
Maccaroon: ...One Direction? Never heard of you. Are you really that well-known?
NiallTheTime has joined the chat.
NiallTheTime: Don't waste your time with him. We have to be at that photoshoot at that road place.
WindowPayne: Oh, right! Abbey Road-- I forgot!
Maccaroon: Abbey Road?!
NotHarryPotter: Yeah, it's famous for some reason. Some other band walked across it or something.
Maccaroon: Um. Yes. That's correct.
Maccaroon: A musician I'm quite familiar with did, in fact.
Maccaroon: Paul McCartney?
AnyaDidn'tKnowIExisted87: ...who?
Maccaroon: Paul McCartney? Of the Beatles? Walked across Abbey Road? Sort of a big deal?
Zzaayynn: Uh, no. Don't know who that is.
Maccaroon: ...you've never heard of him? At all? Really? Never seen these dashing good looks?
Maccaroon:
NotHarryPotter: Uh, nope. Never seen him.
Maccaroon: Seriously?! Are you sure?!
NiallTheTime: Nope. The only Paul McCartney I've heard of is some old guy...
Maccaroon: EXCUSE ME?! I'm not--
Maccaroon: Um. Would you mind telling me what year this is?
WindowPayne: 2017, man. What drugs have you been on?
Maccaroon: ...weed. A little while ago. But that's not the point.
Maccaroon: So you're telling me. That you don't. Know. Who. Paul McCartney. Is.
NotHarryPotter: No! What's your deal, man? Why're you obsessed with some old guy whose music probably wasn't even that good?!
Maccaroon is typing...
Maccaroon: THAT'S IT!
Maccaroon: I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW THAT I AM PAUL FUCKING MCCARTNEY, PART OF ONE OF THE GREATEST BANDS TO EVER GRACE THE FACE OF THIS EARTH, AND I DID NOT TRY TO TRAVEL FORWARD IN TIME JUST TO MEET YOU SWINES!
NotHarryPotter: WHO CARES?! WE'RE ONE FUCKING DIRECTION, AND WE'VE TAKEN YOUR PLACE--
BohemianBeatle has joined the chat.
BohemianBeatle: Gentlemen. If you know what's good for you, you'll leave this chat and let Paul be.
Zzaayynn: Wh-- where did you--?!
jellybabiesontoast has joined the chat.
jellybabiesontoast: Doesn't matter -- but we can do more than just visit this chat...
Rebecca_Dolenz has joined the chat.
Rebecca_Dolenz: ...so if you want to stop wasting his time and leave him and all of us alone, you'll leave. And not come back until we tell you to.
AnyaDidn'tKnowIExisted87: No way! Why'd we listen to a bunch of creeps like you?!
pauliesnecklace has joined the chat.
pauliesnecklace: Fine, you asked for it...

pauliesnecklace: Don't listen to them. They certainly didn't take the Beatles' place, far from it.
Maccaroon: I'm not quite sure who they were, but I don't like them.
longjohnnysilver: We don't, either.
Maccaroon: Good riddance, then. Thanks for that...
jellybabiesontoast: Anytime...
Maccaroon: So... who was it that hacked all of you into here?
BohemianBeatle: All of us, really, we can all hack...
Maccaroon: Well, that's six of us that are hackers, then...
jellybabiesontoast has gone idle.
Rebecca_Dolenz has grown idle.
longjohnnysilver: Uh, so...
longjohnnysilver: You're really Paul McCartney?
Maccaroon: Oh. Oh, shit. Right. I said that. And now people know. Oh. Great.
Maccaroon: Um, no, I'm not, sorry to let you all down, but it's... not... actually...
BohemianBeatle is typing...
BohemianBeatle: ...we all know it's actually you...? Pretending is pretty much useless at this point.
Maccaroon: ...fine, you've got me.
Maccaroon: James Paul McCartney, at your service.
Maccaroon: I guess you already know who I am.
longjohnnysilver: Oh, God, yeah, we're huge fans of yours...
pauliesnecklace: ...so you're really from the sixties?
Maccaroon: I, um, yeah, John helped me hack into things, and it sort of went into the future, and... uh... you know what, it's complicated.
Rebecca_Dolenz: Oh. Wow.
Rebecca_Dolenz: Whoa...
Maccaroon: Oh, God...
Maccaroon: Please don't freak out, please don't freak out, please don't freak out...
Rebecca_Dolenz: Oh, I forgot -- Beatlemania is still a huge thing back in your time.
Rebecca_Dolenz: In that case, that won't be a problem.
Maccaroon: ...you mean you won't hack into my account and find out all my personal details and follow me to my house and...?
pauliesnecklace: Paul, don't worry!
pauliesnecklace: This is 2017 -- fans of the Beatles aren't nearly as crazy as they used to be.
BohemianBeatle: This may be one of the most exciting things to happen to all of us, but we'll be calm about it.
Maccaroon: Really? You'd do that for me?
jellybabiesontoast: Of course! As long as it's okay to ask you some questions about things.
Maccaroon: Sure! I like fans, when they aren't trying to claw my hair out.
jellybabiesontoast: ...that happens a lot?
Maccaroon: You have no idea.
longjohnnysilver: Well, we can't even physically reach you, so you won't have to worry about that!
longjohnnysilver: Can I go first?
Maccaroon: Be my guest!
longjohnnysilver: Well, to start off, how are your eyelashes so amaccamazing??
Maccaroon: Amaccamazing?! That's a thing?!
longjohnnysilver: It's a word I made up in your honor -- never thought you'd actually hear of it, though.
Maccaroon: I like it! It's very... me!
Maccaroon: Well, my darling, I'd love to tell you, but...
Maccaroon: ...a magician shouldn't give away his secrets.
Maccaroon: I'm afraid that's classified.
longjohnnysilver: Aw, man...
longjohnnysilver: Figured I'd try and ask.
Maccaroon: I will tell you, though, that it involves a very special brand of mascara.
jellybabiesontoast: YOU MEAN THEY'RE NOT ALL NATURAL?!
BohemianBeatle: ...should I feel betrayed?
Maccaroon: Funny, that's what John said the other night...
Maccaroon: He even said he was writing fanfiction about them.
jellybabiesontoast: Oh, uh, speaking of. Just in case you encounter more things in 2017.
jellybabiesontoast: Do you know what slash fanfiction is?
Maccaroon: Can't say I do. Is it a type of genre?
jellybabiesontoast: ...sort of.
Maccaroon: Ooh, I like the sound of that. Maybe I'll go off and read some of it.
jellybabiesontoast: NO!
jellybabiesontoast: STAY AWAY FROM THOSE.
Maccaroon: Why?? What's so bad about them? I haven't read a book in a while. I should really get around to doing that...
jellybabiesontoast: DON'T ASK QUESTIONS. IT'S FOR YOUR OWN PROTECTION.
Maccaroon: ...okay??
pauliesnecklace: Ooh! I have a question!
pauliesnecklace: ...so...
pauliesnecklace: ...you and John.
Maccaroon: ...yes?
pauliesnecklace: You two seem to be very... close.
Maccaroon: That's a broad term, there.
pauliesnecklace: Ever think of moving in together?
Maccaroon: ????!?!?!?!?!?!!??????!!!
Maccaroon: wHAT?! NO, ThaT;S riD!icUloUS hE h@S a wIFe anD a cHiLD whERE dID y0U GET THat idEhttp://www.homefinder.com/
Maccaroon: T-that's not a link to a real estate website! What a silly idea...?!
BohemianBeatle: I'll take that as a yes, then!
Rebecca_Dolenz: I was going to ask which Beatle was closest to you, but I don't think I need to anymore...
Maccaroon: Nonsense! I--
Maccaroon: Nevermind.
Maccaroon: Enough about John, please. Any other questions?
Rebecca_Dolenz: Actually, yes!
Rebecca_Dolenz: Moving away from the subject of your band entirely, rumour has it that you met another band recently on a chat like this one... the Monkees, perhaps?
Maccaroon: Oh! Yeah. Guessing by your username, you know them?
Rebecca_Dolenz: As a matter of fact, yes!
Maccaroon: That's fab! I do like them. They're good to be around, and they remind me a lot of us...
Maccaroon: The idea of Micky and John being in a chat together again scares me, though. Just a bit.
Rebecca_Dolenz: I can definitely see why.
Rebecca_Dolenz: Do you have a favorite?
Maccaroon is typing...
Maccaroon: I'm quite fond of Davy...
Maccaroon has gone idle.
Rebecca_Dolenz: Paul?
Maccaroon: Huh?
Maccaroon: Oh, right, yes. Davy.
Maccaroon: He's from the UK, like I am!
Maccaroon: Not to mention we're both the best looking in our groups...
Maccaroon: The absolute best looking...
Maccaroon has gone idle.
BohemianBeatle: PAUL!
Maccaroon: What?!
Maccaroon: Sorry, sorry...
Rebecca_Dolenz: Are you with the others? John, George, Ringo?
Maccaroon: As it happens, yes. I take it you're as big of a fan as them as you are me?
BohemianBeatle: Yes! Of course! Is that even a question?
jellybabiesontoast: Would you mind telling them a few things for us?
Maccaroon: I'm sure they'd love hearing from some future fans. Has digitalized food been made possible yet? George would love some of that...
BohemianBeatle: Unfortunately not, though it can be digitally delivered to your door...
Maccaroon: Really?! By what, a robot?
BohemianBeatle: Better -- a flying robot!
Maccaroon: ...you're not kidding.
BohemianBeatle:
BohemianBeatle: Nope.
Maccaroon: Whoa...
Rebecca_Dolenz: Although I can't deliver food to him, I can deliver a message.
Rebecca_Dolenz: Tell him that I said hi, and that I love him, and...
Maccaroon: ...
Rebecca_Dolenz: Sorry, Paul, but tell him that he's the best songwriter in the world.
Maccaroon: WHAT?! HOW?!
Maccaroon: I mean, don't get me wrong -- I love the songs that Geo's written, but he's hardly done any for us!
Rebecca_Dolenz: Do you know why that is?
Maccaroon: Well, I -- I always thought it was because he was shy, but I never really thought to-
Maccaroon: Oh.
Maccaroon: He writes a lot more songs for us in the future, doesn't he?
Rebecca_Dolenz: Yep.
Rebecca_Dolenz: You should ask him about some of the things he's working on. I think he'd appreciate that.
Maccaroon: ...I will, then.
Maccaroon: Thank you.
Maccaroon: What about Rings, should I ask him about writing?
longjohnnysilver: As much as I hate to say it, I think Ringo's good where he is.
Maccaroon: As much as I hate to say it too, that's what I thought.
Maccaroon: I suppose I should have asked George about songs earlier on. He's so shy, though, I guess it was silly to think he'd approach me first... you don't think he'll be mad at me if I ask him now, do you?
BohemianBeatle: I think he'll be more than grateful. Go for it!
Maccaroon: Should I'll bring him some cookies as well?
pauliesnecklace: Good call.
Maccaroon: All right. I'll do it, then!
longjohnnysilver: YAY!
longjohnnysilver: And don't forget entirely about Ringo. He'll give you a song or two in good time.
longjohnnysilver: Octopi make surprisingly good song subjects!
Maccaroon: Octopi?!
Maccaroon: You've got to be kidding me.
jellybabiesontoast: We're not, and we have the song to prove it!
Maccaroon: Right, you're from the future.
Maccaroon: I keep forgetting that.
BohemianBeatle: We keep forgetting you're in the past, too -- you're still here in this year, only much older.
Maccaroon: I forgot about that, too!
Maccaroon: Could I see a picture of myself? Just so I can make sure I'm still handsome?
BohemianBeatle: ...I don't know about that. Should we?
Rebecca_Dolenz: What's the harm in it?
jellybabiesontoast: I'm doing it. I want to see his reaction.
Maccaroon: ...?
jellybabiesontoast:
Maccaroon: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!?!?????????????!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maccaroon: ASDFGHJK I"M OLD
Maccaroon: AND WRinKLED
Maccaroon: I LOOK HIDEOUS
Maccaroon has left the chat.
longjohnnysilver: PAUL!
Maccaroon has joined the chat.
Maccaroon: I... I don't know if I'll ever be the same...
Heeeeere'sJohnny has joined the chat.
Heeeeere'sJohnny: I LIKE IT!
Maccaroon: JOHN! STOP DOING THAT!
pauliesnecklace: John?
Rebecca_Dolenz: Oh my god...
Maccaroon: Quick, get a picture of John while he's old, too, just to scare him off...
BohemianBeatle: ...I don't think that's a good idea, Paul.
Maccaroon: Why?! Come on, it'll be great!
Heeeeere'sJohnny: I probably just look loads better than you.
Heeeeere'sJohnny has left the chat.
Rebecca_Dolenz: We just met John Lennon. I can't believe it...
Maccaroon: I'd hardly say you met him, but that's John, for you... he didn't even bother to say hello.
Maccaroon: I suppose he's growing impatient -- I've been on here a while. I think I might leave.
longjohnnysilver: Aw, man...
Maccaroon: Hey, but maybe I'll drop by this chat again -- you may be the oddest group of fans I've ever met, but you all seem lovely!
Maccaroon: It's not often you meet a group of fans that just talk to you like they would anyone else. I'm grateful for that.
jellybabiesontoast: Paul?
Maccaroon: Yes?
jellybabiesontoast: You're going to do grand things in life, really. Trust me. All of us here... we're really proud of you.
Maccaroon is typing...
Maccaroon: Oh my God... you're all so sweet...
Maccaroon: Damn it, I think I've smudged my mascara...
BohemianBeatle: Paul! Are you crying?!
Maccaroon: M-maybe!
longjohnnysilver: Aw... you're adorable. Stay that way! Please!
Maccaroon: Shouldn't you of all people know if I stayed adorable?
longjohnnysilver: Good point... in that case, good job staying adorable.
Maccaroon: Thank you, love. You wouldn't have to worry about that anyway!
Maccaroon: Well, I think I'd best be off, now. John and the others will start to worry.
Maccaroon: Thank you all for saving me from that band!
Rebecca_Dolenz: Thank you for taking the time to talk to us afterwards!
Maccaroon: And thank you for the advice on George -- I think he'd thank you, too. I'll tell him what you said.
pauliesnecklace: Tell John and Ringo, too, that we love them just as much! The four of you are going to change the world!
Maccaroon: I'll do that. Whenever we get around to changing the world, I'll keep the five of you in mind!
Maccaroon: Bye, loves!
Rebecca_Dolenz: Bye!!
BohemianBeatle: Bye!
pauliesnecklace: Goodbye!
jellybabiesontoast: Bye!
longjohnnysilver: Stay amaccamazing!
Maccaroon has left the chat.
--O--
The Wattpad logic is strong with this one.
I had to search up "members of One Direction" on Google. I hope you all appreciate that. No offense to 1D fans -- this is satire! You do you!
It's baaaaaaaaack! Many apologies for not updating in so long. I have to get in as many chapters as I can before the school year begins, so hopefully you'll see a bit more of the lads before I'm crushed under an ever-growing pile of schoolwork.
To everyone who participated in this chapter (pauliesnecklace, surprise!) thank you for submitting your questions! To those who want to be included in a future chapter (Miyun, Fatz, and Rita, I'm looking at you!) not to worry -- I want to include as many of you readers as I can. There will be more chapters similar to this in different story arcs and I'll be sure to let you all know when they're being written!
Also, OVER ONE HUNDRED FOLLOWERS?! ONE HUNDRED AND ELEVEN OF YOU DECIDED YOU LIKED WHAT NONSENSE I POST ONTO THIS ACCOUNT?! WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT?! Thank you, everyone! I love you guys so much.
