February 3rd, 1965.

Dear Diary,

My Christmas album is finally coming out. It took forever for me to persuade Dan but I did it! Sure, it's past Christmas but I'm sure people will still appreciate new music!

The Beatles have been very busy themselves. They've been working day and night on two new albums that'll be coming out by the end of the year. I can't imagine Dan making me record music throughout the night. The boys must be tired. Not to mention they have to watch their backs everywhere. Beatlemania still hasn't left America!

“A guitar riff there and there. How ab-AHH!" I squealed as I was tackled to the ground.

"HAHA, got you!!" John laughed, tickling me.

"Nooo!!! Get off!" I laughed.

"JOHN LENNON NEVER SURRENDERS!!" He continued to tickle me.

I laughed harder.

Snapping back into reality. I can’t be doing this. Not now. It could do some harm.

"No, John. Really get off!" I said, trying not to laugh.

"Nope!" He smirked.

"John, get off!" I said in a irritated tone.

He got off. "Sorry, Lily." John softly said.

"It's fine... It's just.." I shook my head.

I walked into the recording room, not being able to explain to John.

He's find out soon. I smirked.

"Let's get this track done with. I've got a interview at three!" I said through the microphone.

"Got it, Hun." Dan said.

Dan never really changed after that night. He tried. I can tell. But there were still those nights..I told him to stop drinking, maybe that'll help. But that basically tempted him for some whiskey.

I grabbed my electric guitar.

"Run, Run, Rudolph! Take One!" Dan yelled.

I started to jam out of my guitar. Playing some heavy chords. Watch me now George. I bet you never thought a girl could play like me. I grinned.

Out of all the reindeer you know you're the mastermind

Run, run Rudolph, Randolph's not too far behind

Run, run Rudolph! Santa's got to make it to town

Randolph he can hurry, he can take the freeway down..

And away went Rudolph a whizzing like a merry-go-round

Said Santa to a boy child "What have you been longing for?"

Oh! "All I want for Christmas is a Rock and Roll electric guitar"! 

I play my guitar again.

And away went Rudolph a whizzing like a shooting star..

Yeah..

Run, run Rudolph, Santa's got to make it to town! Yeah!

Can't you make him hurry, tell him he can take the freeway down..
