Nataya smiled brightly, nodding as they plotted. "I can paint the background on poster board." she murmured, her mind already envisioning an awesome scene: A rockin' 60's concert meets old, stereotypical fairy tale. It'd be totally awesome! Sure, she'd have to find out what a 60's concert actually looked like, but she could worry about that detail later. "Sock puppets are awesome! I'm sure I could bring some of the socks and other supplies." she said, grinning. Spare socks were rather easy to find at their house, considering how many socks Circe and the dust bunnies dragged off to parts unknown.
Nataya smiled, rubbing the back of head a bit. "Aw, thanks! I'm glad you like it, Casia."

Casia flipped to a new page in the notebook. "Okay, so we'll need socks for John, Paul, George, Ringo, Titania, Oberon, that other fairy..." She frowned thoughtfully, trying to remember what else had happened. "And miscellaneous." she decided. "Maybe five other random socks?" Suddenly, the siren was struck by inspiration. "And a Blue Meanie!" she added. They needed properly evil villains after all, and everyone knew Blue Meanies were as evil as they come. She finished scrawling out the puppet list.
"What will we call it?" asked the sixties siren. Every epic needed a sufficiently groovy name.

Nataya nodded slowly, silently going over the character list in her head. It seemed to cover everyone important. "What's a Blue Meanie?" she asked, looking a bit confused. She'd never heard that term before. Was it a bully that was blue? She pressed a finger to her lips as she thought, her head tilting to one side. "How about we call it Story Stew?" she suggested, tapping her chin as the idea formed. "Stew has a little bit of everything in it, and so does our story." It made sense in her head, and she thought it sounded pretty neat, too.

Casia's brow furrowed. Story stew? Sounded tasty, but not primo. A perfect title would have 'groovy' in it at least once and also have been a bad pun. Still, if Nataya thought it was fab, she didn't mind. It was still good, after all. "I like it." she said aloud.
She looked surprised. Someone had to inform Nataya of Blue Meanies before they got her! "Blue Meanies are awful." she said earnestly. "They hate music and try to do anything to stop it. They're untrustworthy and mean and they don't care about anything but themselves." She looked smug. "But The Beatles can reform them so they're okay. Other than that though they're pretty grody." The siren stretched her arms out, cricking her neck. "Because we need really tough bad guys, right? That way Titania'll be all impressed and dig it when Oberon and The Beatles beat them."

Nataya obviously didn't know better; 'groovy' hadn't even come to her mind, and 'story stew' was the closest thing to a pun her mind had come up with. "Great!" she said, grinning brightly.
She listened intently, her face becoming serious as she was educated by her friend, learning about the horror that was the Blue Meanies. "How could anyone hate music?" she asked, absolutely shocked. That notion was completely unheard of in her opinion; music was just one of those things you couldn't hate! She then nodded; of course they could be reformed! Music was just that awesome. "Right!"she said, nodding once. "She'd be so impressed; it'll be awesome! And everyone will cheer, because the Blue Meanie has been vanquished!" Her eyes widened as an idea hit her. "They could have a concert to celebrate the win! We could play one of their songs on a cd player; it'd be epic!"

Casia's wings fluttered excitedly. There was a good idea. "Yeah!" She wracked her brain for the perfect Blue Meanie-vanquishing song. "We can have them sing All Together Now, and then... And then Oberon and Titania can sing something romantic. Real Love?" A gleam was in the siren's eyes that only music could inspire. "Oh! And when Oberon first meets The Beatles, he can sing Keep Your Hands Off my Baby because if I were Oberon, I'd be pretty mad at how they were bogarting Titania too." This was quickly becoming a musical, and Casia caught herself, coughing embarrasedly. "If you think that'd be boss, that is."
The siren shook her head, perplexed. "I don't know how anyone could hate music. Some people are a real drag, I guess."

Nataya nodded; she only recognized one or two of the songs. Unfortunately, her exposure to the wonder that was the Beatles was minimal at best. But, she trusted Casia's judgement. After all, the siren knew all about this sort of awesome stuff. "Sounds awesome!" she said, nodding. She then got another idea. "We could use the song "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" to describe the setting!" she said, smiling. That would be awesome! It might be hard to make the set, but it'd SO be worth it.
"Guess so...." the fairy, nodding. It was hard for her to imagine anyone being a 'drag' or anything, so surely those kind of people only existed in stories. Right?

The siren nodded slowly. "Yeaaaah. That sounds trippy enough, definitely fairyworthy." Casia was not quite old enough to know what trippy really meant or exactly how fitting the word was to describe the song. Instead, she scoured her brains, thinking back to when she was little and trying to remember Antony's voice telling the story.
"After they left Titania, didn't they run into a man chasing a girl? They could chase after them and then... Then the Beatles appear! Because the Beatles are stopping crime with music as, um, part of a new gig." She looked to Nataya for the rest. She didn't know what Oberon and Puck were like, and she had to remember that this was a two person project. She shouldn't bogart the creative energy!

Nataya thought a moment, tapping at her chin as she thought. "And then Oberon confronts the Beatles, upset that they seem to be stealing his wife. Puck just watches, amused, cause he's all mischievous and stuff and likes watching confrontations. But, the Beatles convince him that they're all on the same side and what not, and everythings good until the Blue Meanie kidnaps Titania." She nodded, pausing; that all made sense, right?
"And then, the Beatles and Oberon go and defeat the Meanie and Oberon gets Titania back cause she's all impressed and stuff. Then, they have a concert to celebrate, and it ends with Puck closing the curtains. Sound good?"

Casia laughed. "This is going to be so cherry." she insisted, picturing the Beatles' and Oberon's facedown already. "I can't wait to get started." The siren paused, not sure what to say next. She felt like she knew Nataya, but it had been so long that at the same time she felt uncomfortable around the fairy. "Uh..."
She shielded her eyes from the sun and then blinked, looking around. "D'you know what time it is?" she asked, worry starting to squirm around in the pit of her stomach. She hadn't planned on staying out all day, and though Nataya gave her a distraction and a project, she didn't want Jane thinking she'd run off or something. She had just barely gotten a new parent, it'd be a bummer to have them go ape on her already.

Nataya shook her head. "No, I don't. Sorry, Casia." she said, offering an apologetic smile. "Though, I think it's getting closer to lunch time." she added as her stomach made itself known in a rather vocal manner. She rubbed the back of her head, a little embarrassed by it. She glanced back in the general direction of home; she really should start heading back. After all, she didn't want Momma to worry or anything! Then again, she didn't want to just up and ditch her friend....

Casia fluttered her wings nervously. It couldn't have been that long, but...
"I think I gotta beat feet." she said apologetically to Nataya. "Ah..." Looking around, she grabbed the notebook and flipped to the inside cover, peering at something written there. She then found a new page, copying it down and thrusting the paper at Nataya. "That's my home phone, okay? I think we can make this idea work." She flashed the fairy a brief grin and headed back to Jane's house.

"Alright." Nataya said, smiling at the siren as she was handed the slip of paper. "I'm sure it'll turn out awesomely." she said, confident that the result couldn't be anything less than awesome. "See ya later!" she said, smiling and waving farewell before turning around and running towards the direction of her house.
