"we're a rock and roll band; we don't do disco." Roger repeated for the hundredth time as Hyacinth and Brian walked in.

"If Deaky says disco, we do disco."

"It's not exactly disco." Deaky replied, as he handed hyacinths a copy of the song.

"Then what is it?" Brian asked.

"It's Queen." He shrugged.

"Im sorry my darlings, lost all track." Freddie said from the booth.

"You fired Reid without consulting us. You don't make decisions for the band." Roger said, trying his hardest to ignore Hyacinths presence.

"Well i'm terribly sorry dear, it's done." Freddie stated. "Besides, Miami will manage us."

"I'll think about it." Miami muttered.

"Are you high again?" Brian asked.

"Well done columbo."

Hyacinth rolled her eyes and lit a cigarette.

"You can't smoke in here." Paul muttered to her, reaching out to take her cigarette.

"Fuck off Prenter." She stood up and blew smoke in his face before walking over to Miami.

"I don't care if you're shitfaced," Deaky said. "As long as you can sing."

"No, John, i dont wanna play it."Roger argues yet again.

"Then i'm all for it!" Freddie said.

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"I'm tired of the bloody anthems.." Freddie went on a bit of a rant about what he wanted queen to be while Hyacinth talked quietly to Miami in the corner.

"So you'll be our manager?"

"I don't know, Morse, it's a lot of responsibility."

"I think we're past the point of you calling me Morse. Cynth will do."

"Alright, well Cynth, i'm not a manager, i'm a lawyer."

"And i'm not a pianist or a backing vocal.. even if it is what i contribute to most of our songs - all of our songs." She groaned.

"Alright, let's see how good a boxer you really are." Roger almost shouted, and Hyacinth finally joined the discussion.

"Both of you, shut the fuck the up."

"Oh please," Freddie snarled. "If you weren't so caught up in trying to sleep with Roger you'd be agreeing with me."

"Why would i? What has agreeing with you ever got me?"

"You're in the band, aren't you?"

She paused and walked right up to him, taking a puff of her cigarette before putting it out on freddie's jacket.

"No. Not anymore." She walked out and Brown and Deaky called after her.

The two followed her out of the door into the hallway.

"Cynthi." Deaky grabbed her arm.

"What?"

"Come on, Cynth, you can't just quit the band. What happened to giving it one more chance?" Brian asked.

"I'm done. Freddie's turned into this new person who i don't even recognise anymore. And Roger- i'm just done." She sighed. "You two are great and trust me you are not getting rid of me just yet."

"Cynth-"

"But i cant do this anymore. I need a break, at least. When he's sober, tell Freddie i can't watch him do this to himself anymore."

"And Roger?" Deaky asked.

"He can figure it out himself. See you guys around."

She walked out and this time no one followed her, instead the two of them returned to the studio, while Hyacinth got drunk, booked a flight to America, went to a cher concert, and amongst many other things, she spend a night drinking with a member of motely crue - which member it was, she didn't know.
