I Want to Hold Your Hand

Chapter 1: Bigger Than Jesus
On March 1968, two years after Mary Ellen was murdered, she, Beverly Kifner, Jr., Annette, Courtney, Reicheru, Maria, Sophie, Nicole, and Orla are spending their spring break listening to the record of The Beatles' "I Want to Hold Your Hand" at Mary Ellen's house. Mary Ellen fell in love with Ringo while Annette had a huge crush on Paul. Mary Ellen is now a ghost and even had a pet bunny named Ringo, named after her favorite The Beatles member.

"Although I prefer the Monkees, I still think the Beatles are great musicians," Sophie said as Mary Ellen gently stroked Ringo's fur.

"I see. Speaking of the Beatles, they sure are bigger than Jesus. Heck, an interviewer called them that back in 1966." Courtney responded. Beverly is now brushing Annette's hair, Nicole is braiding Orla's pigtails and Mary Ellen has the bunny still sitting in her lap.

"Ahhh.. What is your favorite TV show?" Sophie questioned. Courtney raised her hand. "Yes?" she asked again.

"Mine is I Dream of Jeannie. It's a pretty funny show about a genie and a man." Courtney answered.

"I like Bewitched. It's a good show about a woman who is a witch." Mary Ellen said.

"My favorite has to be The Jetsons. I watched this show when I was a child." Annette replied.

"I love The Flintstones! I remembered that show when I started watching it when I was, like, a child." rejoiced Beverly.

"Some of my favorites have to be Batman and Star Trek. I love those shows. Sci-fi and superheroes forever!" Nicole cried out.

"Bewitched is my favorite and so is I Dream of Jeannie." Orla said.

"I love The Addams Family, but I hate the theme song." told Maria.

"I don't watch TV." replied Reicheru.

"My favorite has to be Flipper. I just love that adorable dolphin. I also love The Monkees TV show," Sophie responded.

"I like those shows, too," said Mary Ellen. "P.S. Speaking of favorite shows, ever watched I Love Lucy or Leave It to Beaver?" All of the girls except Orla raised their hands. "I did,"

"I remember I Love Lucy. It's one of my favorite shows of the '50s!" Nicole exclaimed.

"I never saw I Love Lucy, but I remember loving Leave It to Beaver when I was a really little girl," added Sophie.

Mary Ellen's mother, Harriet opened the door

"Hello, Mary Ellen. How are you and your new friends?" she asked.

"They're doing fine." Mary Ellen said as she puts Ringo into her cage. "I made them listen to The Beatles."
