Characters : Roger Taylor, Brian May, Freddie Mercury, John Deacon

November 1976

"Guys! We should take a break from recording. We worked hard enough for today." Proposed John putting his bass down.

"Yes we should , it's a good idea." Agreed Roger. Freddie stayed silence for few more seconds until his face lighted up, he was smiling like an idiot and jumping up and down.

"We could go skiing!" Screamed Freddie while the others stayed quiet, thinking about if it was a good idea or not.

"Uh... Yes I guess we could but where are we-" Started Brian.

"Yes! It's a great idea!" Screamed Roger getting up to go hug Freddie. John sighed not knowing if he should worry about the idea or cheer up because he was finally on break from recording. John looked at Brian ans he smiled at him while Brian walked close to him.

"I'm gonna take care of the trip. Started Brian. If you want, you can take care of the ski and all the equipment we need." John nodded and said that he would take care of finding the equipment. All the boys went out of the studio few minutes later.

"Okay so give John and I few hours of maybe a day to set all the trip."Said Brian to Roger and Freddie. He knew by their reaction that they were happy to do this trip and they were really excited. Both men nodded and walked to their car to go home.

THE NEXT DAY

Brian called everybody to tell them how the trip was planned. Roger and Freddie were surprisingly the first one to arrive at the ski station were they would ski for the week-end.

"Finally you're here! Roger and I have been waiting for what seemed like ages!" Said Freddie walking close to the two others followed by Roger.

"Yeah but you're not the one who planned this trip." Answered Brian. Freddie looked down and whispered small sorry to Brian. The boys walked into the ski station and then to the counter to rent their equipment which John has reserved.

"It will be so fun."Said Freddie putting his ski on just like John, Brian and Roger did. Fredie sat beside Roger in the ski lift and Roger explained him how to ski like the basic things to know. Fredie nodded to what Roger said and he started to ski close to a slope after he went off the ski lift with Roger behind hm. John and Brian followed behind Roger and Freddie but stopped when they saw where their friends were heading . They looked at each other then back at their friends.

"I don't know if they saw that it was a slope for expert or people that knows how to ski." Said Brian watching the boys going down the slope. John shook his head and pointed to a slope that seemed easy to do. Brian agreed to do the slope and they started to ski to the slope. John and Brian went down the slope and met Freddie and Roger down.

"So how was your ride in the expert slope?" Asked Brian as John bust into laughter. Freddie glanced at John and he stopped laughing.

"I think next time I'll read the signs before going down a slope." Said Roger before Brian and John burst into laughter. When John and Brian stopped laughing, Freddie proposed to go make another descent, the boys agreed and went to the ski lift. Top of the slope , Brian chose the slope they would do, one not too easy or too difficult. The 4 friends went down the slope but towards the middle of the slope, Freddie started to scream with arms in the air. Roger, who was behind him and a little panicked, lost balance and fell face first in the snow. John couldn't avoided Roger and fell right on top of him and Brian stopped beside them to see if they were okay.

"You guys alright?" Asked Brian as John got up with difficulty. John nodded and took off his ski. Roger groaned in pain and tried to get up but without success. Brian took off Roger's ski and John helped him to get up.

"I feel like my penis has returned in my body and I can't feel my balls anymore.Whispered Roger looking at his friends. Finally skiing isn't that fun." Said Roger looking down. Brian wanted to laugh but he knew that his friend was embarrassed but the situation and it wasn't funny for him, he looked at John who bust in laughter. Roger glanced at John and he stopped laughing and said sorry to Roger. Brian took off his ski .

"We should go down the slope and meet Freddie there. We should stop for a while." Proposed Brian, the boys nodded and they walked down the slope. Freddie was at the bottom of the slope waiting for them.

"Where were you? Why are you not wearing your ski anymore?" Asked Freddie looking at his friends. Roger sighed and walked to the counter where he rent his ski earlier.

"What's wrong with Roger?" Asked Freddie.

"Well he felt because he panicked when you screamed like an idiot and John felt on him. Roger is kinda not feeling okay so we stop skiing for today." Explained Brian. Freddie burst into laughter and both of his friends looked at him and he stopped when he realized that it wasn't nice for Roger.

"We should continue tomorrow" Said John walking to the counter followed by Brian. Freddie took off his ski and followed the boys.

"Sorry I made you panicked and fell Roger." Said Freddie when he passed near Roger. The 4 Friends walked out of the ski station after they gave back their ski.

"Darlings, it was a good day today. Started Freddie but looked at Roger who looked at him with a weird expression. Well it was a good day for most of us." Corrected Freddie. After this ski trip, Roger didn't want ski anymore, too scared of loosing his balls for real.
