"So what were you drinking love" Roger replied. "Jameson" I replied with a smirk. "So what brings you here?" Roger asked while waving for the bartenders attention. "Honestly I don't know" I replied with a smile "I guess you could say it was a total decision by fate" I said watching the bartender arriving. The bartender arrived ad took my drink order and soon brought it back. "Well then cheers. To fate" Roger said clinking his glass with mine. As I took a sip of my Jameson I felt a hand on my shoulder. "Well Lynn I guess you do pick up guys everywhere you go." I heard Ben say behind me with a chuckle

"Oh Roger this is Ben" I said turning to Roger. Roger stuck out his hand and shook it with Bens. "Lynn is this your boyfriend?" Roger said standing up. "Oh no this is my co-worker Ben we decided after a long day of work to come here for a drink." I said turning to Ben. "God knows we've needed it, today has been one hell of a day." Ben said with a nervous laugh. "Well if you don't mind I'm going to steal her for a little bit." Ben said to Roger. "Ok well when you're finished let me know I'd fancy to talk more." Roger said with a wink. We said our goodbyes and Ben took my hand and pulled me into a corner of the pub.

"Lynn was that Roger, as in Roger Taylor?" Ben asked with a hushed excited tone. "Unfortunately, yes it was." I replied looking down. "Why do you seem so upset about that this is perfect. I mean come on think about all the character study I can get from this. Hell maybe if we befriend him we can even talk to John, and Freddie." Ben said with a sparkle in his eyes. "Well yes but Ben I think we need to be worried about getting back to our own time. I really don't think that this is the best thing to be doing in this situation." I replied

"Ok, well maybe you're right, but maybe they could help us figure this whole thing out. Maybe if we talk with Brian he could help us, I mean he's an astrophysicist for god sake." Ben said pulling me towards the table where Roger was sitting. "I'm trusting you on this okay?" I told Ben trying to pull some glimmer of hope from my fearful mind. As we made our way towards the table where Roger was sitting, I made out three familiar faces and stopped in my place.

"Lynn what's wrong?" Ben said turning around to face me. "Ben I don't know if I can do this, I've loved Queen ever since I was little and I'm finally getting to meet Freddie Mercury, I mean for god sake this has been a dream of mine since forever. I mean hell I always knew that it would never happen because he's dead." I said with tears in my eyes. "Listen I totally get where you're coming from, but we have to do this. Lynn I'll be there the entire time and if anything happens that you find uncomfortable just know that it's ok. Okay?" Ben said reassuring me. We finally made our way towards the table and I saw Rogers eyes light up. "Lynn! You've made it" Roger said standing up. "Lynn this is Freddie, John, and Brian. They are my best friends and my bandmates for the time being." He said pulling two chairs towards the table for Ben and I.

"Well I must say that it's an absolute honor to meet all of you!" I said very cheerfully. "The pleasure is all ours darling, must I say that blouse is out of this world. Your fashion sense is definitely way ahead of our time." Freddie said clasping his hands together in awe. "Oh you don't know the half of it." Ben said laughing, I hit his arm and he just smirked. "Well I think someone fancies you Lynn." Brian commented. I just laughed and brushed it off. "So what brings you to the big town of Kensington?" John asked trying to make things less awkward.

"Well we just kind of dropped in a few hours ago, nothing specific really" I said taking a sip of my Jameson. The table was silent for a few minutes other than Freddie's drunk comments towards their server. "So are you guys into music" Brian asked a few minutes later breaking the silence. "Yeah" Ben and I both said in sync. I felt Ben's eyes on me but I just looked forward towards Brian. "Oh that's fantastic darlings, we have somethings we'd love for you to hear!" Freddie said throwing his arm around me.

"What are you into?" Roger asked finishing his drink. "Well you know the basics Zeppelin, The Who, Clapton, The Beatles, Hendrix, Fleetwood Mac, Bowie. That sort of stuff." I replied with Ben agreeing. "Those are magnificent choices love" Roger replied. "We'd love for you come back to the flat and listen to some of the things we've written we have just released out first album and want to get your opinion on it" Roger said drunkenly. "Roger you can't just invite someone you just met to your flat." Brian said. "No, no it's fine we know them, see that's Lynn and that's Ben. See we know them now let's go. Roger interrupted. "Are you all alright with that?" Brian asked Ben and I. "I'm fine with that Ben are you?" I asked looking to Ben. "Yeah ,that'd be fine." "Alright then what are we waiting for, let's go" Roger said jumping up from his seat.
